Five-time FIFA World Player of the Year Marta will return to Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) next year, with reports Tuesday night having her settling with expansion team Western New York Flash. The story was announced on Twitter by Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Jeff DiVeronica, who claimed Western New York's president as his source:
WNY Flash President Alex Sahlen & coach Aaran Lines just told me the expansion club has acquired FIFA World Player of the Year, Marta
Marta was Women's Professional Soccer's leading scorer last season, registering 19 goals in 24 matches for eventual league champion FC Gold Pride. Gold Pride ceased operations at the end of the season, the second year in a row Marta was left without a club. Los Angeles Sol folded following their first season, having finished 2009 with Women's Professional Soccer's best record.
In two seasons in WPS, Marta has registered 29 goals in 43 matches. In 2010, she was named Most Valuable Player as well as FIFA World Footballer of the Year, an award she's won every year since 2006.
Western New York's will start its first season in WPS this spring and have already signed a number of Marta's former Gold Pride teammates, including Christine Sinclair and reigning Rookie of the Year Ali Riley. Western New York, who will play their games in Rochester, also have added former University of California star Alex Morgan, the first pick in the 2011 WPS Draft.

The gradual sea-change in Elaine Viets' "Dead-End Jobs" series has given her books an even more satisfying storyline. Helen Hawthorne, once stuck working those lousy jobs, is now a full partner with her husband in their detective agency.
In Board Stiff, Viets delivers a unique perspective of South Florida's tourism industry: the small beach-front companies that are the lifeblood of tourism. Helen and Phil are hired by the owner of a parasailing company. Sunny Jim believes he is being vandalized by a restaurateur who wants Jim's prime spot for a lucrative parking lot and that the murder of a tourist on one of his boards is a plan to get rid of him.
Viets, who lives in Fort Lauderdale, showcases specific spots such as the Downtowner, Lester's Diner and Urban Brew Cafe. For Floridians, Board Stiff is a look at home. For others, it's a vicarious Florida vacation.

A 16-year-old Lakeland boy is dead after a fight near a Lanier County school bus stop.
He was stabbed by another 16-year-old.
Jaquez Mosley was stabbed about 3:30 Thursday afternoon, and died soon after at the hospital in Lakeland.
Family members tell WALB that his sister was the target of on-going bullying, and that Mosley tried to intervene.
He was killed during a fight at a 10th street bus stop yesterday. His aunt says he was protecting his sister from bullies.
"Yes he was a hero taking up for his sister," said Niobie Clarkson.
Mosely's cousin says she got off at the same bus stop and saw the fight unfold.
"My cousin was like, 'why are y'all messing with my sister? What's in your hand, put down whatever's in your hand' and he came on him with the knife and my cousin hit him, then one of them stabbed him here and the other here, they jumped him," said Nabiha Clarkson.
Mosely's Aunt says he was a great kid.
"A nice little boy that I use to see everyday, he wasn't a bully, you know every child has their days, but he wasn't a bully," said his Aunt.
Destiny Mosely says her brother always stood up for her.
"I'm glad he didn't die for doing something else, at least it was for a good reason," said Destiny.
The GBI has not charged anyone with his murder.
The GBI is investigating and issued this news release Friday-
On Thursday, August 30, 2012, at around 3:30 PM, the Lakeland Police Department was called to a location on 10th Street in Lakeland Georgia in reference to an altercation that had occurred between several juveniles.
As a result of the altercation, Jaquez Jermane Mosley, 16 years of age, was stabbed and later pronounced dead at Louis Smith Memorial Hospital in Lakeland. The Lakeland Police Department then requested the GBI Douglas office to assist with the investigation.
The altercation also resulted in a 14-year-old juvenile male receiving a knife wound which required medical attention at South Georgia Medical Center in Valdosta, Georgia.
An autopsy will be performed on Jaquez Mosley at the GBI Crime Lab in Macon to determine the exact cause of death. No arrests have been made at this time.
The investigation is still on-going and involves juveniles; therefore no other details will be released at this time.
The investigation is being conducted by the GBI Douglas Office and Lakeland Police Department.
If anyone has information pertaining to the investigation, please contact the Lakeland Police Department at 912-482-3309 or the GBI Douglas Office at 912-389-4103.

"Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue…Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say, Napoleonic times."

Dinwiddie County Courthouse
The Dinwiddle County Courthouse was completed in 1851. It was remodelled in 1858 when its roof was raised and the interior was divided into two floors. The Doric portico was added in 1933. On March 31, 1865, Southern forces at the courthouse temporarily checked Major General Philip H. Sheridan's drive on Petersburg. Court facilities moved to a new building in 1998.

Supply Chain Intern Interview (Neutral Experience)

Interview Details Contacted after a career fair (which seems like a pretty common entry to this program). Interview was over Skype and about 45 minutes. It's best to just be genuine about your interest and definitely do sufficient research. It is a huge company so the offer/ acceptance process was a little bureaucratic.
Interview Question – Really nothing too out of the ordinary- mostly about experience and skills and why you are applying Answer Question
Negotiation Details – None

Average Interview
Supply Chain Intern Interview (Neutral Experience; Average Interview)
I applied through a staffing agency and the process took a day - interviewed at Unilever PLC in December 2010.
Interview Details Interview with a manager and another upper level employee. Focused mainly on experience even though it was for an internship. They seemed too busy to train someone and stressed that they wanted someone who could come in and hit the ground running. I was not offered the position because they went with a candidate who had SQL experience. In hindsight I'm glad I didn't get it because I don't think they would teach you very much, which is kind of the point of an internship.

O villain, villain! His very opinion in the
letter! Abhorred villain! Unnatural, detested,
brutish villain! worse than brutish! Go, sirrah,
seek him; I'll apprehend him: abominable villain!
Where is he?
I do not well know, my lord. If it shall please
you to suspend your indignation against my
brother till you can derive from him better
testimony of his intent, you shall run a certain
course; where, if you violently proceed against
him, mistaking his purpose, it would make a great
gap in your own honour, and shake in pieces the
heart of his obedience. I dare pawn down my life
for him, that he hath wrote this to feel my
affection to your honour, and to no further
pretence of danger.
Think you so?
If your honour judge it meet, I will place you
where you shall hear us confer of this, and by an
auricular assurance have your satisfaction; and
that without any further delay than this very evening.
He cannot be such a monster --
Nor is not, sure.
To his father, that so tenderly and entirely
loves him. Heaven and earth! Edmund, seek him
out: wind me into him, I pray you: frame the
business after your own wisdom. I would unstate
myself, to be in a due resolution.
I will seek him, sir, presently: convey the
business as I shall find means and acquaint you withal.
These late eclipses in the sun and moon portend
no good to us: though the wisdom of nature can
reason it thus and thus, yet nature finds itself
scourged by the sequent effects: love cools,
friendship falls off, brothers divide: in
cities, mutinies; in countries, discord; in
palaces, treason; and the bond cracked 'twixt son
and father. This villain of mine comes under the
prediction; there's son against father: the king
falls from bias of nature; there's father against
child. We have seen the best of our time:
machinations, hollowness, treachery, and all
ruinous disorders, follow us disquietly to our
graves. Find out this villain, Edmund; it shall
lose thee nothing; do it carefully. And the
noble and true-hearted Kent banished! his
offence, honesty! 'Tis strange.
This is the excellent foppery of the world, that,
when we are sick in fortune, -- often the surfeit
of our own behavior, -- we make guilty of our
disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as
if we were villains by necessity; fools by
heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and
treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards,
liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of
planetary influence; and all that we are evil in,
by a divine thrusting on: an admirable evasion
of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish
disposition to the charge of a star! My
father compounded with my mother under the
dragon's tail; and my nativity was under Ursa
major; so that it follows, I am rough and
lecherous. Tut, I should have been that I am,
had the maidenliest star in the firmament
twinkled on my bastardizing. Edgar --
[Enter EDGAR]
And pat he comes like the catastrophe of the old
comedy: my cue is villanous melancholy, with a
sigh like Tom o' Bedlam. O, these eclipses do
portend these divisions! fa, sol, la, mi.
How now, brother Edmund! what serious
contemplation are you in?
I am thinking, brother, of a prediction I read
this other day, what should follow these eclipses.
Do you busy yourself about that?
I promise you, the effects he writes of succeed
unhappily; as of unnaturalness between the child
and the parent; death, dearth, dissolutions of
ancient amities; divisions in state, menaces and
maledictions against king and nobles; needless
diffidences, banishment of friends, dissipation
of cohorts, nuptial breaches, and I know not what.
How long have you been a sectary astronomical?
Come, come; when saw you my father last?
Why, the night gone by.
Spake you with him?
Ay, two hours together.
Parted you in good terms? Found you no
displeasure in him by word or countenance?
None at all.
Bethink yourself wherein you may have offended
him: and at my entreaty forbear his presence
till some little time hath qualified the heat of
his displeasure; which at this instant so rageth
in him, that with the mischief of your person it
would scarcely allay.
Some villain hath done me wrong.
That's my fear. I pray you, have a continent
forbearance till the spied of his rage goes
slower; and, as I say, retire with me to my
lodging, from whence I will fitly bring you to
hear my lord speak: pray ye, go; there's my key:
if you do stir abroad, go armed.
Armed, brother!
Brother, I advise you to the best; go armed: I
am no honest man if there be any good meaning
towards you: I have told you what I have seen
and heard; but faintly, nothing like the image
and horror of it: pray you, away.
Shall I hear from you anon?
I do serve you in this business.
[Exit EDGAR]
A credulous father! and a brother noble,
Whose nature is so far from doing harms,
That he suspects none: on whose foolish honesty
My practises ride easy! I see the business.
Let me, if not by birth, have lands by wit:
All with me's meet that I can fashion fit.

Talking to someone who always has to one-up you!
I don't have any regular one uppers in my life. Which is done on purpose because every time I meet one of them, acts of violence swarm my thoughts like a bunch of Indian guys just spotted a white girl standing alone on the dance floor.
It takes three sentences to identify any one upper. For instance, your first sentence could be that you love the city of Moscow. Your potential one upper is likely to respond with, "Yeah, it's alright, but it's nothing compared to Paris." After this sentence you've identified that they're in fact a prick, but it's still too soon to tell if they're one-upping you. Its not until your second sentence where you say, "I'd love to see Paris again soon," and they respond with, "I'm bored with Paris now, I wanna backpack Europe again," that you now have strong suspicions you're face to face with a one upper extraordinaire. The third sentence is just needed to confirm your suspicions as fact. You might say, "I've been to Europe, one of my favorite places was Prague," to which they respond, "I prefer Berlin, Prague is like the poor man's Berlin." That's all you need to hear to confirm your suspicions, and now its time to abort mission and get as far away from this dry piece of shit as possible.
I don't have any patience for these people, because not only are they not adding anything to the conversation, but they're also taking away what you're adding to the conversation. They're so frustrating that regular people will band together to help each other avoid contact with them, "Ugh, don't talk to that fucking idiot Keith, he's always one upping you." This kind of obligated kindness proves how much it sucks to talk to a one upper.
I wonder what happens when a one upper talks to another one upper? Has that ever occurred before or do they avoid each other's territory like drug dealers?

An award-winning mobile application, developed by University of Virginia students, could give new meaning to the term "buddy system."
Ashutosh Priyadarshy and Duylam Nguyen-Ngo won a student startup competition at the South by Southwest Interactive conference in Austin, Texas with their WalkBack app.
The app allows students to check in with police and file a flight plan to connect with the university. It can also digitally walk friends in a user's social network home. It starts with a simple fist bump.
Priyadarshy and Nguyen-Ngo explain, "When we bump phones it sends a connection between us, requests to be on each others social network and from there you can check on each others status throughout the night."
The app that already has a working prototype, can also collect anonymous data for universities on where students are coming and going to effectively protect those areas.
The pair has won $3,000 and gained priceless contacts with investors and entrepreneurs. They hope to get the funding necessary to bring this online by the fall.
The app would be free to users, with universities absorbing the cost of the software.

Enhancing Social Entrepreneurship and Stakeholder TheoryDacanay, Marie Lisa (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This thesis develops a framework for understanding how social enterprises engage the poor and address poverty, a pressing global problem of the 21st century. Using casebased theory building, it studies a theoretical sample of three pairs of Philippine-based social enterprises, where the poor were suppliers, workers, and customers. In half of the cases, the poor were also owners. The research studies the roles and role changes of the poor in these social enterprises, how and why these roles changed, or did not change, and the impact of the roles and role changes, if any, on the social enterprises and the poor. Data for the research was gathered mainly from key informant interviews, published and unpublished organizational documents as well as previous studies done by external consultants on the case subjects. Based on a cross case analysis of the data from the theoretical sample, the thesis develops three models of stakeholder engagement among social enterprises with the poor as primary stakeholders or SEPPS, namely: control, collaboration and empowerment. This thesis provides insights and develops propositions about the importance of stakeholder engagement and the power and limitations of these three models in bringing about social inclusion and poverty reduction. These propositions are suggested to be applicable in countries in the South other than the Philippines where systemic poverty and inequality are exacerbated by the failure of state and market institutions to address the needs of the poor. This thesis makes a contribution to social entrepreneurship and stakeholder theory. It does so by sharing a perspective from the South and giving a voice to the poor as stakeholders. The researcher notes that overall, the poor and the South are under-represented in these discourses. On the whole, social entrepreneurship theorizing has been characterized as embryonic as a topic of academic inquiry. Stakeholder engagement is considered an under-theorized area in stakeholder theory. In developing a framework for understanding stakeholder engagement models involving the poor, this thesis makes a first step towards applying and extending stakeholder theory in SEPPS. The thesis likewise enriches social entrepreneurship theory by conceiving of SEPPS as a global social enterprise model that catalyzes South-North cooperation to address poverty and inequality.

Et mixed method studie, der belyser læringskonsekvenser af et lederkursus for et praksisfællesskab af offentlige mellemledereMoesby-Jensen, Cecilie K. (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The English title of this dissertation, which in the outset was an integrated part of a larger intervention study on the effects of team manager training, is: Social learning and shared practice. A mixed method study showing the learning consequences of a training course for a community of practice of public middle managers. Due to the growth of the elderly population in Denmark and, simultaneously, the fact that a large part of Danish health care workers soon face retirement, in addition to the challenge regarding the recruitment and the holding on to employees in the public health care sector in Denmark in the coming years, this sector is confronted with the task of creating and sustaining sought-after workplaces and one way of doing this is by organizing the work in a efficient and attractive way for the employees, for instance in compliance with the idea of teamwork. This entails change, education and learning, and this dissertation investigates, in a case-study, the social learning consequences of a training course for middle managers in the Danish health care system, and thus poses the research question: What are the intended and unintended learning consequences of the training course "Managing teams"?....

The canonization of digital cultural artefactsAttila, Marton (Gothenburg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Memory institutions and their practices of canonization are closely tied to the emergence of a social memory based on material artefacts and communication media. As libraries, archives and museums are stepping into the online world of digitality and computational operations, the question arises as to how these institutions and their processes of canonization change. Based on Elena Esposito's system theoretical concept of memory as an operation of forgetting and on David Weinberger's three orders of ordering artefacts, the paper analyses the canonization of digital cultural artefacts according to the practices of selection, order and preservation. Against this backdrop, the theme of transversal forgetting is developed as a cyclical process of forgetting-as-data that cuts across the boundaries of libraries, archives and museums and their traditionally separated rationale of what to select and how to order and to preserve the selected. The concept, therefore, is an argument against the still dominating metaphor of social memory being an externalized storage. Thus conceived, transversal forgetting attempts to capture memory institutions as part of the wider information environment of bits and bytes, networks and algorithms.

Kennes, John; Tranæs, Torben; Larsen, Birthe; Filges, Trine (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We find that the main featues of labor policy across OECD countries can be explained by a simple general equilibrium search model with risk neutral agents and a government that chooses policy to maximize a social welfare function. In equilibrum, policies are chosen to optimal redistribute income from advantaged to disadvantaged workers. A worker can be disadvantaged in the sense that they may have less ability to aquire and utilize skills in the workplace. The model explains why passive benefits tend to fall and active benefits tend to increase during the course of unemployment spell. The model also explains why countries that appear to pursue equity spend more on both active and passive labor market programs. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7648

Felin, Teppo; Foss, Nicolai J. (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Organizational scholars have recently argued that economic theories and assumptions have adversely shaped management practice and human behavior, leading not only to the incorporation of trust-eroding market-mechanisms into organizations but also unnecessarily creating self-interested behavior. A number of highly influential papers have argued that the self-fulfilling nature of (even false) theories provides the underlying mechanism through which economics has adversely shaped not just social science but also management practice and individual behavior. We question these arguments, and argue that there are important boundary conditions to theories falsely fulfilling themselves, boundary conditions that have hitherto been unexplored in organizational research, and boundary conditions which question the underlying premises used by organizational scholars and social scientists to attack economics. We specifically build on highly relevant findings from social psychology, philosophy and organizational economics to show how (1) objective reality and (2) human nature provide two important boundary conditions for theories (falsely or otherwise) fulfilling themselves. We also defend organizational economics, specifically the use of high-powered incentives in organizations, and argue that self-interest (rightly understood) facilitates in creating beneficial individual and collective and societal outcomes.

The role of laughterMik-Meyer, Nanna (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The topic of social work does not normally inspire laughter. So it is perhaps not surprising that research into the culture of social work rarely pursues its humorous aspect—the role of irony and laughter, for example. But if Michael Mulkay (1988) is right in suggesting that the domain of humor allows contradictory worlds to coexist, then this topic warrants a closer look. After all, no one would deny that social work involves a measure of contradiction. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6349

Singapore as a City for the ArtsOoi, Can-Seng (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Can the arts and cultural prosper under a less than democratic political regime? This paper looks at the soft authoritarian Singaporean government and the making of Singapore into a "City for the Arts". Many scholars advocate that a culturally vibrant and creative city must also celebrate diversity, tolerance and experimentation. This implies that a democratic space is needed for creative energies to flow. Singapore is not known for its democracy. But Singapore has become relatively successful in being the cultural hub in the region. A more liberal approach to diversity and criticism of the authorities can now be observed but there are still many strong-handed social and political controls in the city-state. This paper shows that the Singapore authorities weigh the economic, political and social costs while they liberalize the environment to promote Singapore as a City for the Arts.

Moeran, Brian (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This working paper, delivered at the ©reative Encounters workshop on the Business of Ethnography in June 2012, and in part (the sections on advertising and anthropology) at the American Anthropological Association's annual meeting in San Francisco in November the same year, recounts the author's personal experiences as a fieldworker to consider what it is that defines the newly emergent sub-discipline of business anthropology. The underlying argument is that all kinds of ethnographic research not overtly conducted on 'business organizations' may be counted as an anthropology of business, which itself is not strictly defined by the word 'business' per se, but includes such features as kinship and household organization, creative and craft practices, community structures, and so on.

Insights from the Autrian School PerspectiveIshikawa, Ibuki (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to identify the source of competitive advantage in the resource based view of strategic management literature. In particular, it is argued that the source of competitive advantage is rooted in entrepreneur judgment. In this argument, this paper consists largely of three parts: firstly, a brief survey of the theoretical framework of the RBV of strategic management, particularly to identify critically the resource conception in the sense of what RBV scholars understand; secondly, to argue the significance of exploiting the Austrian perspective, especially focusing on Lachmann (1947,1956), Mises (1946) and Knight (1921) to improve the RBV framework; thirdly, to apply the Austrian perspective to the RBV and demonstrate that the source of competitive advantage is derived from entrepreneurial judgment per se, not the resource per se, and to discuss some possible future research avenues for further development. It becomes clear through this paper that a strategy is mainly seen as the quest for the entrepreneurial judgmental rent. The major insight of this paper is that taking the entrepreneur insight from the Austrian school of thought is the fruitful way to understand the source of competitive advantage.

Munch, Jakob Roland; Rose Skaksen, Jan (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper studies the impact of outsourcing on individual wages. In contrast to the standard approach in the literature, we focus on domestic outsourcing as well as foreign outsourcing. By using a simple theoretical model, we argue that, if outsourcing is associated with specialization gains arising from an increase in the extent of the market for intermediate goods, domestic outsourcing tends to increase wages for both unskilled and skilled labor. We use a panel data set of workers in Danish manufacturing industries to show that domestic and foreign outsurcing affect wages as predicted by the theory.

Christiansen, Thomas Ulrich; Juel Henrichsen, Peter (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Digital hearing aids use a variety of advanced digital signal processing methods in order to improve speech intelligibility. These methods are based on knowledge about the acoustics outside the ear as well as psychoacoustics. This paper investigates the recent observation that speech elements with a high degree of information can be robustly identified based on basic acoustic properties, i.e., function words have greater spectral tilt than content words for each of the 18 Danish talkers investigated. In this paper we examine these spectral tilt differences as a function of time based on a speech material six times the duration of previous investigations. Our results show that the correlation of spectral tilt with information content is relatively constant across time, even if averaged across talkers. This indicates that it is possible to devise a robust method for estimating information density in the speech signal based on computationally simple short-term band-level differences. The principle described here has the potential to improve speech transduction in hearing aids and cochlear implants. In addition, the concept of information-based speech transduction may also be applicable in automatic speech recognition systems. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8617

Om strategisk innovation og kreativ markedsvidenHougaard, Søren (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Hvordan kan man forklare, at små, nystartede, ressourcesvage virksomheder er i stand til at udfordre og sommetider udkonkurrere store, markedsledende foretagender – ofte med utroligt enkle virkemidler? Som er i stand til at ændre spillets regler på trods af intens konkurrence og høje adgangsbarrierer. Praksis viser, at teknologiske opdagelser, produktmæssig nyskabelse, speciel heldig timing eller særlig passivitet fra konkurrenters side langtfra altid er forklaring nok. Der må med andre ord eksistere en unik innovationsform eller -formel, der kan føre til konkurrencefordele ad helt andre veje! Dette paper præsenterer og diskuterer en sådan anden opfattelse af innovation og viden med fokus på den virksomhed eller iværksætter, som ikke har andet at ty til end idérigdom. Som er nødt til at bryde med spillets regler og betræde helt nye stier for at kunne konkurrere. Det har jeg kaldt strategisk innovation. Konklusionen er, at strategisk innovation frembringes af særlige kompetencer. Kompetencer, som den lille, ressourcemæssigt underlegne virksomhed eller outsideren har mindst lige så store chancer for at beherske som etablerede spillere i markedet. Nøglen til strategisk innovation er kreativ markedsviden omsat til ny, overraskende forretningslogik! URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6303

A Meta AnalysisMeyer, Klaus E.; Sinani, Evis (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The extensive empirical literature analyzing productivity spillovers from foreign direct investment to local firms provides inconclusive results. Some studies find that foreign presence has a positive impact on the productivity of domestic firms, while others find no evidence or a negative effect. Differences in the results may be attributable to contexts, such as the structural differences between developed, developing and transition economies. However, results may also vary due to different empirical methodologies, notably the use of aggregate versus firm-level data and cross-section versus panel data analysis. We conduct a meta-analysis to investigate reasons for these conflicting results, and provide a revised interpretation of earlier research and its policy implications, and new priorities for future research. Our analysis suggests that the hypothesized spillovers are not confirmed for industrialized countries in the 1990s. Transition economies may experience spillovers, but these have been declining in recent years.

En rapport fra implementering af Sprogkernen I's anbefalingerLenstrup, Christine; Faizi, A. Zaki; Pals Svendsen, Lisbet; Mondahl, Margrethe (, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Formålet med denne rapport er at undersøge i hvilket omfang IKT skaber motivation, interaktion, samarbejde og refleksion i forbindelse med tilegnelsen af interkulturel handlingskompetence. Vores hypotese er, at anvendelsen af forskellige former for IKT i undervisningen kan være med til at øge elevernes motivation og arbejdsindsats og derigennem også deres udbytte af undervisningen, således at eleverne opnår en højere grad af deep learning end uden IKT. For at eftervise vores hypotese, gennemførte vi i efteråret og vinteren 2011/2012 kvalitative empiriske undersøgelser i samarbejde med to udvalgte gymnasieskoler. Mere præcist udførte vi fokusgruppeinterviews med elever og lærere. Efter at have analyseret vores data, kom vi frem til nogle resultater, hvoraf nogle er positive og andre mindre positive: • IKT skaber motivation • IKT har en positiv effekt på interaktion og samarbejde • IKT fremmer elevernes evne til at reflektere over egen læring Men: • IKT fører ikke nødvendigvis til internalisering af viden • IKT kan opfattes som useriøst og irrelevant i en læringssammenhæng Baseret på ovennævnte resultater, når vi frem til følgende 4 anbefalinger: • IKT skal italesættes i langt højere grad end hidtil og bør være tydeligt defineret som en løftestang i læringskonteksten • IKT skal italesættes systematisk, således at det er et relevant læringsværktøj • IKT muliggør etablering af sociale kontekster, som kan etablere interaktion med andre sprogbrugere, og bør derfor tilpasses den didaktiske kontekst og eksponere eleverne mindre end traditionel klasseundervisning. • IKT-‐anvendelse bør evalueres løbende i forhold til fagrelevans og læringsmål URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8638

Fears special school for disabled will shut
Updated 7:10pm Friday 8th February 2013 in News By Fran Bardsley
THE future of an Oxfordshire special school last night looked in doubt.
Residents in Chipping Norton fear the town's Penhurst School could close.
And last night charity Action for Children, which runs the school, refused to commit to its future or to comment on rumours that it was under threat of closure.
Spokesman Katie Clarke said: "Action for Children's primary concern is and always will be the welfare of and support for the young people at Penhurst."
She would not comment on whether closure was an optionbeing considered or on when a decision on the "long-term strategy" would be made public.
The school, in New Street, provides a residential education for some of the most vulnerable children, with most pupils suffering profound and multiple learning disabilities.
It is rated outstanding by Ofsted, and takes children from all over the UK who are placed there by their local authorities.
It has about 20 pupils aged between five and 19, few of whom are able to communicate verbally or walk unaided.
Chipping Norton town mayor Chris Butterworth said: "We had heard a rumour it might close. It would certainly be unfortunate because we've had them here for some time."
Penhurst has been on the same site since 1904, starting life as an orphanage, and becoming a school for homeless children, then a school for those with physical disabilities in the 1960s. Since the early 1990s it has been a school for children with profound and multiple learning difficulties.
Mr Butterworth described the school as a "recognised part" of Chipping Norton. He added: "We see the children in and around Chippy a lot, they go to church services and they have become an accustomed face."
The charity also runs two other schools in Oxfordshire, Parklands Campus in Abingdon, which opened in September 2011 and provides an education for 11 to 19-year-olds with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties, and Redwood House, a specialist centre for those aged 19 to 25 on the same site as Penhurst.
Owen Morton of Oxfordshire County Council said: "We have not been notified of potential change at the school, however we feel sure the charity will involve us at the appropriate time."

1823: Running with the ball is allegedly introduced into the game of football at Rugby School, England. Here begins the myth of the invention of rugby by William Webb Ellis, later concocted by Rugbeians in 1895.
1839: Arthur Pell establishes the first team at Cambridge and draws up the 'Cambridge Rules'.
1841: Running with the ball is officially allowed in Rugby School's rules (provided the ball is taken on the bounce). Passing however is specifically forbidden.*
*Acclaimed author, Spiros Zavos amusingly mentioned in his book ('how to watch a game of rugby') that many rugby commentators from the Southern Hemisphere believe that British rugby continues to maintain this rule! Steady on Spiros....
1862: The indiarubber bladder for the rugby ball is invented. The original pigskin bladders were apparantly so disgusting to blow up, that boys at Rugby School left the odious task to Mr Gilbert (a nearby bootmaker who would later develop a world reknowned brand of top class rugby balls of the same name). At least he ended up having the last laugh!
The new balls, encased in tough leather solved many of the problems associated with the old pigskin bladder model, which had some rather revolting results when subjected to a combination of relentless kicking and the elements of british weather. I'll leave that up to your imaginiation.
Importantly though, the new mass prouced ball gave a wider community of young men, both in England and in the colonies, a chance to express themselves in the oddly shaped ball game. The sport significantly was no longer solely aligned with the English public school system. This was an important step in growing the popularity of rugby around the world.
1863: The Rugby Football Union is formed and a standard set of laws are drawn up in London. Goals (successful kicks over a post, rather than under the post as in football), are taken after a team scores a try. The try enables the side to 'try' and kick a goal, hence the origin of the name. Rugby is seen as predominantly a dribbling game with the ball on the floor, rather than a handling/running/ kicking game as it is seen now.
1865: The first game of rugby in the southern hemisphere is played between Sydney University and Sydney Club. According the the Sydney Morning Herald, despite an 'exciting struggle', the match was drawn, 'owing to a misunderstanding regarding the rules'. No goals were scored as the game ended 0-0.
1871: The first International test match is battled out between England and Scotland as Scotland win by one try and one goal to one goal. There are a whopping 20 players a side on the pitch, consisting of 13 forwards, 3 halfbacks, one three-quarter and 3 fullbacks! Later, Oxford and Cambridge set a trend by reducing the number of players in their teams to 15 a side.
1877: 'Hacking' is abolished but 'the Bulletin' still nicknames the sport 'the undertaker's friend', despite the reform. Many in the USA, wary of the dangerous nature of the sport, alter the rules of rugby to form a new Game, later to become known as American Football. A line of scrimmage is made, to avoid the peculairities of the scrum, while the ball can be passed forward so as to avoid big pile-ups of men. Little did they know just how dangerous their sport would become....
Player numbers in international rugby follow the trend set by Oxbridge Universities a few years earlier, reducing from 20 to 15.
1883: The first Home Nations tournament is played out, with England winning the 'Triple Crown' by beating Ireland, Wales and Scotland.
1886: A points system is adopted by the RFU, whereby 3 tries are equal to one goal. This reform uses the scoring system at Cheltenham College, which gives a points value to a try, unlike the Rugby School scoring system which astoundingly.... did not. Makes you wonder if Jonah Lomu would have quite as big a superstar in the 19th century.
1890: The International Rugby Board (IRB) is formed and is dominated by the Home Unions. Of the 12 board members, 6 represented England, with two each for Scotland, Ireland and Wales. New Zealand ands Australia would not be admitted until 1948, such was the exclusionist ethic of the Home Nations.
1893: Cardiff creates a formation of 8 forwards and 7 backs. So successful is this tactic that it is universally adopted and still remains today. One could say that it is Rugby Union's version of football's 4-4-2. The reality is that it is more fundamental than that though, as no other team in the modern era has tried a different approach.
1905: Bouncing the ball into the lineout is abolished: the ball now has to be thrown in. While this was initially done by the scrumhalf and then the winger, it became tradition soon after that the hooker threw into the line-out to allow for greater attacking threat outwide. The first team to do so was the All Blacks in 1905. It didn't catch on at the time, despite explanation of the All Blacks' Dave Gallaher and Billy Stead in their 1906 book, 'The Complete Rugby Footballer':
"In England the scrum half is usually delegated to do the throwing in. This is a mistake. Nobody is or should be better able to institute an attack of any kind than this individual, and it is a waste of his valuable time and services to put him to the task of throwing in.
Our plan is to give the ball to one of our short hookers as some kind of a short rest for him from his very arduous labours in the front row of the scrum."
A change to the points system was also made that year. 3 points are now awarded for a try, with 5 for a converted try. 3 points meanwhile are given for a successful penalty goal.
1910: France are admitted into the Five Nations, with the first tournament won by England.
1924/5: The 'Invincibles' New Zealand team wins ever single match of it's tour of Great Britain. This depsite having to train on their long haul trip by boat with fruit as a ball. George Nepia becomes rugby's first global superstar. They remain arguably the best side to have ever played the game.
1926: The IRB decides that each of the two halves in an international match should be 40 minutes long. (An unwritten law is also explained, that any number of minutes can be added on at the end of a maych to allow for a heart-breaking, John Eales, last gasp winner).
1932: The Fédération Internationale de Rugby Amateur (FIRA) was founded - a positive force in spreading the sport beyond the Anglosphere.
1958: A significant change is made in the tackle ball law: players after regaining their feet, are permitted to play the ball after a tackle in any lawful way (rather than only with their feet).
1968: Replacements for injured players are allowed in tests. Despite this addition, legendary All Black skipper would still go on to play a full 80 minutes against France at 'the Battle of Nantes' in 1986 after suffering a ripped scrotum. That's leadership. It's no surprise people have been calling 'Bring back Buck' ever since.
1971: Revolutionary law changes are introduced to devalue the kicking game: players are required to stand behind the hindmost foot in the scrum; backs, except the halfback are to stand 10 metres from the line-out; no kicks directly into touch are allowed from outside the 22-metre line; a try is upgraded to four points too.
1987: The first RWC is held despite many of the home unions voting against its' inception as an act of defiance against the growing power of foreign unions. David Kirk leads his side to glory at home, as an inspired All Black team defeats France at Eden Park, Auckland, New Zealand. John Kirwan becomes the golden boy of New Zealand rugby with some scintillating performances on the wing.
1991: Australia defeat England at Twickenham in the second RWC final. Towards the end of the final, with the Wallaby backs reluctant to kick the ball downfield, Aussie coach Bob Dwyer shouts out 'Kick it to the Shit house'. The Queen, sitting two rows in front is presumably not amused!
1993: The five point try is introduced; a decisive change in the scoring system. For the first time, two tries are worth more than three penalties or drop goals. Rugby is now in essence a game about tires rather than goals.
1995: The Springboks, hosting and playing in their first ever RWC (after missing the previous 2 tournaments because of apartheid) defeat New Zealand at Ellis Park. Nelson Mandela appears before the crowd with a Springbok jersey on (Pienaar, Number 6) in one of the most dramatic sporting occasions of all time. Jonah Lomu, the undisputed star of the tournament is larlgely subdued by a suffocating South African defence.
Following the tournament, under mounting pressure from the threat of Rugby League's Super League, Rugby becomes professional. The reform comes 100 years after the fateful decision to outlaw professionalism.
1996: The inaugural Tri Nations and Super 12 tournaments kick off with the backing of wealthy media mogul, Rupert Murdoch.
1999: Australia become the first nation to win two RWCs as they beat France at a canter at Twickenham. In the Semi-final, the inspired French had knocked out tournament favourites, New Zealand, with a tremendous come from behind victory. It is still to this day regarded by many as the best game of rugby union the world has seen.
2000: Five Nations become Six, as Italy are allowed into Europe's showpiece competition.
2003: The RWC came home to the 'Mother Country' as Jonny Wilkinson inspired England to victory over Australiam in Australia with a dead eye boot. Cue a number of youngsters taking on his 'i'm about to let one go' kicking stance.
2007: South Africa win the Wrld Cup for a second time in France as they defeat England in a dire game in the final. The tryless encounter leads IRB officials to look up ways of evolving the game to be more spectacular in attack.
2008: The Experimental Law Variations (ELVs) are introduced to the rugby public to much fanfare. IRB Chairman, Millar said that the game needed to be sped up a bit, to make it easier to play, easier to referee, easier to understand and to produce more options for the players. The amendments concentrate on rucks and mauls, but include other aspects which help keep the ball in play and reduce stoppages for infringements and penalties. Some work well and others are a complete disaster. One game in the then Super 14, sees the Chiefs defeat the Lions 72-65. Many of the changes are dropped.
2009: The International Olympic Committee vote to return a form of rugby to the Olympics, with rugby sevens to be contested in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, opening the door to increased exposure of the sport in sleeping giants such as the USA, Canada and Russia.
2011: New Zealand win the RWC for the second time following 24 years of national hurt. An 8-7 victory over France (the French's third defeat in a final) sees them regain their RWC confidence. As if the rest of the world needed that...
2012: Argentina are admitted into the newly named 'Rugby Championship' following years of hard work and fare well as they draw against South Africa and come perilously close to beating Australia.

My Review of the KBT Pure Mechanical Keyboard
After about a year of lurking on GeekHack and the r/mechanicalKeyboard subreddit drooling over every kind of mechanical keyboard I finally bit the bullet and bought one. Its been about three months mow and I thought I might share my very positive experience with my new weapon of choice, the backlit KBT Pure with Cherry Blue switches.
Build Quality/Design
The KBT Pure is a surprisingly small keyboard. It's only 5 rows high and, at most, 14 keys wide. Its as if you took a full size keyboard and cut out everything by the main section. Each row is slightly raised and there is no flip-out feet in the back to adjust the keyboards incline. On the back there are 5 switches that offer the ability to modify the layout by doing things such as switching ctrl and caps lock (something that I am very happy about). Everything is made from the same black matted plastic, and the whole board feels very solid. I feel very comfortable throwing it in my backpack along side text books.
You can get the Pure with or without backlight. If you do get the backlight, there are a slew of different colored LEDs to choose from. To match my Cherry Blue Switches I got the blue LEDS. fn+b turns on and off the backlight, while fn+v and fn+n turn the light up and down. At its lowest they letters give off a very subtle luminescence as if they were painted with glow-in-the-dark paint. At its brightest they keys will light up your hands in a dark room. Over all I would say the backlighting is a good investment, though it does eliminate most options if you go shopping for after-market key caps.
Instead of the cord being connected to the keyboard, it's completely detachable and connects via miniUSB meaning replacement cords are cheap and plentiful. The cable it comes with is good enough, not much more than your standard miniUSB cable and plenty sturdy. The KBTalking logo replaces what would of said 'enter' on the return key, and the windows/apple logo has been replaced by a non-denomination acorn looking thing. As a mac/linux user, this is especially refreshing to see.
The Switch
For those of you who don't understand the magic of the mechanical keyboard, or why they're so expensive, let me explain, it's all about the switch. In order for your keyboard tells your computer that a key has been pressed it needs to make contact between two pieces of metal. In most keyboards this is done with a thin rubber membrane under your keys. Each key sits ontop of a rubber dome in the membrane with a metal contact at the top. When the key is pressed the rubber dome collapses and creates contact with the wire below. The disadvantage to this is that the key needs to be "bottomed out" with every press.
A mechanical keyboard is any keyboard that uses some mechanical switch to trigger the contact. There are many kinds of switches. Many keyboards (the KBT Pure being one of them) offer a selection of different switches you may choose from. Cherry Blue switches are generally favored by people who just type a lot. Other switches, such as Cherry Browns or Cherry Reds, tend to be favored by gamers who are looking for a lower resistance contact. Cherry blues also don't require the key to be bottomed out. The contact is made half-way down on the press and "clicks".
If you're interested in learning more about different kinds of switches, Overclock.net has a fantastic guide detailing the differences between switches.
The Key Layout
What drew me to the KBT Pure was really the form factor. Originally I had looked at ten-keyless boards which eliminated the number pad, but the KBT Pure takes this a step further. It eliminates a dedicated number pad, the function row, the Insert, Delete, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, and most importantly the arrow keys. All of these are still accessible through the function layer of the keyboard, but the lack of dedicated keys takes some getting use to.
Anyone who thinks that they never use their arrow keys should try removing them for a week, the change is jarring. I myself am a programmer who does most of his work alt/cmd-tabbing between Chrome and a command line running Vim (a text editor that discourages the use of arrow keys). I bought the KBT Pure thinking that life without arrow .keys would be easy, but quickly I suddenly realized the difficulty in editing emails, or even correcting a typo in Chromes search bar. Luckily the KBT Pure offeres two avenues of getting back your arrows. The function key maps 'k', 'l', ';', and 'o' to their respectful directions, and by hitting fn+space the right modifiers and dwarfed right shift key transform into surprisingly comfortable arrows.
The only other major difference is that the tilde/back-tic key has been moved from the left of the '1' key to the right of a dwarfed right shift. Similar form keybords such as the KBC Poker don't move this and put Escape underneath tilden/back-tic with the function layer. As a Vim user (which requires the use of Escape to switch modes) I respect the decision. I still use tilde pretty frequently since it's the shortcut to you're home directory in Unix and have yet to find this to be a real problem. It would have been nice to offer one of the switches on the back of the keyboard the ability to switch them arround like it does for Ctrl and Caps Lock, but if it really bothers you it's not hard to configure at the operating system level.
The one thing that does bug me about the layout is the width of the space bar. The space bar ends just under the 'x' and '.' keys. While this is very common in many keyboards its a little odd to get use to coming from my MacBook's keyboard where the spacebar is the exact width of the 'c' through 'm' keys. When I'm using the keyboard on Windows or Linux this isn't a problem because the most used modifier is ctrl, but on a Mac most application shortcuts happen through the command key (which on this keyboard is labeled alt). My thumb instinctively goes to hit the command key and hits the spacebar instead. This would never be a problem to most people, but its an overlooked detail worth considering before you buy a keyboard.
Over all impressions
It's been about three months now and I can say I am very happy with this keyboard. The switches are great, the backlighting is beautiful, but most importantly it's small and sturdy. I can throw it in my messenger bag and run out the door. It fits near perfectly over my MacBooks normal keyboard, and when I work on the machines in my University's labs I can just pull it out and plug it in. I spent the summer working an internship that had me writing code on a traditional mac keyboard. It was nice to be wireless, but the flat keys quickly got to my fingers after hours of typing. I've found that having a mechanical keyboard has lead to less sore fingers and knuckle cracking.

I recently saw a David Garrett concert on TV. I was not familiar with him and just happened to switch the channel and lucked out! I was thrilled to hear that he was appearing in San Jose, and even more thrilled to see that tickets were offered on Goldstar. The concert was fantastic and the new (old) City National Civic Theater is one of my favorite theaters.
