Just when you think the sports scene is winding down, some unexpected news hits Gonzaga. And other locales. Read on.
Oregon State coach Craig Robinson tweeted something this morning that every basketball fan understands: "Bittersweet time of the year. Still wish you were playing but get to spend time with loved ones. Ugh!" Yep, everyone wishes their college basketball team was still playing. Wait, there are two local teams still playing aren't there? Yes there are, Washington State's men and Gonzaga's women. And spring football started yesterday down in the Palouse. So there isn't really more time to spend with the loved ones, is there? Which makes me wonder, what was Robinson's "ugh" about? Read on.
I don't remember many more eventful Wednesday in March around here. There was the Cougars domination of Oregon State in the CBI semifinals – basically without leading scorer Brock Motum. There was 729 blog posts from Christian Caple on SportsLink yesterday. And there was the snowstorm that dumped a few inches on my driveway starting last night. Read on.
Not a lot of surprises today. There's no rest for the Washington State men, who had to hustle down to Corvallis on Tuesday for tonight's CBI semifinal against Oregon State. The Gonzaga women, on the other hand, got to catch their breath, with coach Kelly Graves sounding on the radio as if he needed the time just to let his voice return. The Zags will face Kentucky in the Sweet Sixteen on Sunday. Read on.
We have a clock on the living room mantle that chimes each hour. When the batteries are fresh, it's loud enough to be heard all throughout the upper level of the house. But as those batteries wind down, the chimes become softer and softer until, finally, the clock just clicks on the top of the hour. The basketball season is a bit like that. We're to the point where the chimes are winding down and soon they will cease all together. But tonight in Spokane, there is still some noise to be heard, with Gonzaga's women hosting the University of Miami in the NCAA's second round. And it could be very loud. Read on.
I have to admit I didn't see the end of the UNLV/Colorado game last night. Couldn't get to the finish line. Failed. After spending most of the day watching favorite after favorite win, I couldn't stay awake anymore. Heck, it was after 9 for goodness sake. So we hit the sack, only to discover when I arose early this morning the Buffs had blown up that section of my bracket. The darn Pac-12. It destroys me even when it wins. Read on.
It's finally here. The first (real) day of the NCAA basketball tournament. The basketball junkie's Christmas. It all starts at a little after 9 in the morning here on the West Coast and continues until your eyes close – or they explode – sometime late this evening. Read on.
The last time I watched a college basketball game on TV from the University of San Francisco's venerable War Memorial Gymnasium, I was afraid the fire marshal would clear the place out. It was that crowded. That, of course, was less than a month ago, when Gonzaga invaded San Francisco for a key WCC game and left with a 66-65 defeat. Last night, as I sat watching the first round game in the College Basketball Invitational, which Washington State would win 89-75, I was shocked by how empty the gym was. So empty, in fact, I got up this morning and immediately went onto the USF website to see the official attendance contained on the box score. I found it but for some reason the link wants to print the box score; just hit cancel and then scroll to the bottom for the attendance. Even after that glitch I wasn't ready for the shocking number I found here. Talk about empty. Read on.
Selection Sunday can either be the happiest day of the year or the saddest, depending on your position. But for most folks, whose schools already know their NCAA fate, it can also have no relevance whatsoever. Strike that. Very little relevance might be better. After all, just about everyone loves to get those bracket sheets and make their predictions, don't they? Read on.
There is still a chance today could be TF60DDOTY (or as it's known to most folks, the first 60-degree day of the year) in the Inland Northwest. Which would make it the best day of the year for me. Yep, nothing better than that first day post-winter (OK, I know it is still winter officially) you can put on shorts and wander around, causing car wrecks and blinding babies with your white legs. Of course, the past few years I've been able to do that in Pullman, where the students would always point admiringly and show their envy (I'm sure) by laughing at the whiteness of my skin. Now I have to do that at home, and the warm weather means I'll be in the back yard with a rake. Read on.
Before Washington State's Pac-12 Conference tournament game began yesterday, Christian Caple posted a picture of the empty Staples Center on this blog. Yes, it was a pregame photo for a noon game, so you would expect the arena to be empty. But after the game began, the seats remained unfilled. Either that or they gave out free T-shirts that were the exact same color as the seats. Anyhow, the empty arena, the quiet atmosphere, the ability to hear fans' comments throughout the game – all of which was caught by Fox's broadcast – took me back to a simpler time and a simpler place, when game officials were less hesitant to interact with their fans. Read on.
Got up early this morning to get this post done. After all, as I type this, there is only six hours until the tip off of Washington State's Pac-12 tournament game against Oregon State. And it's only been about 10 hours since Eastern Washington's season ended in a late flurry by the Montana Grizzlies in Missoula. Read on.
It is kind of appropriate today is Super Tuesday. After all, around Gonzaga yesterday, it was not-so-super Monday. Not with the men losing the West Coast Conference title game in overtime to St. Mary's. And the women melting in the second half against BYU once again. Not the best day for the folks wandering around Desmet and Cincinnati streets. But there is always a new day. And today our focus can shift to Eastern Washington, in Missoula tonight to face the Grizzlies on their home court. Then tomorrow, the Cougars begin Pac-12 tournament play in Los Angeles. And on Sunday the Zag men will hear their name called by the NCAA selection committee and on Monday, the GU women will find out who they are hosting in the tournament. As of right now, no one else in the area can say that with any assurance. Read on.

the stool is so comfortable and very chic. I've had many compliments on it's look. Is a very dark brown color and looks very expensive. Of the 4 stools that arrived, 1 stool was difficult to put together because the holes did not line up. We put it together minus 1 screw but it's still very solid. The other 3 were put together each taking about 10minutes max. It's a low back profile and has a nice footrest. I would definately recommend this stool. It goes in a transitional kitchen nicely.
The stools arrived in two pieces. The assembly was really easy due to the included allen wrench. The stools look great, exactly as pictured. The seat is soft and quite comfortable and the swivel works smoothly. I didn't do any research before I bought the stools so I didn't know what "bi-cast" leather was. Now that I have though, I think the price was a bit high for bi-cast leather. Otherwise, a beautiful stool.
Other than the base color being wrong for me, the product was very well packaged and the chair looked like it was very well made. The seat and back a beautiful leather brown. I can't understand why they made this chair with jet black legs as it didn't look like it matched very well with the seat. But if that is not a problem for you, then the chair was very nice. I returned the product without a problem and with great customer service from O.Co.
The quality of these leather kitchen stools is superior. They arrived 4 days after ordering and were easy to put together. They look very rich and are super comfortable. Look much more expensive than the price I paid. We also bought two other Lisbon bar stools last year for our rec room and they are cloth. They are equally high quality!
Very comfortable chair, easy to assembly, love the protective plate on the ring on the footrest. Only complaint is the outer backrest has a bit of a rigid bumpy feel that I would have preferred to be a bit more polished but overall very pleased.
I bought 4 of the 26" counter stools to replace 4 metal higher-back chairs. This is a sleek looking low-profile chair. Since the backs are lower you won't really lean back on them, just provides slight support. But it also means when pushed up against our counter island it gives a clean neat view across the kitchen. Shipping was quick. Assembly was easy. Our previous stools had a faux suede so these are a bit more slick to sit on. The foot rest has an almost hidden plate to protect the wood. We have wood floors so I put a felt pad on the bottom of each leg for added protection. Happy with the purchase. I question the longevity/quality of the wood structure compared to our prior sturdy metal chairs, time will tell, but these are definitely more modern looking. Only wish it was real leather instead of bi-cast leather, but that would have upped the cost considerably.
I was looking for a bar height stool. I had this option with the Lisbon Swivel Stool. Also, I wanted a short back so it would slide under the 42 inch height on the bar. It clears by about 1/2 inch, The legs are wide enough so the stool is very sturdy and will not tip over. The stool looks great in my kitchen/bar area.
Nice bar stools. Good quality cushions. Swivel easily. Sturdy build.
We are extremely happy with the barstools. They are a perfect fit for our new breakfast bar, and will be used extensively in our new vacation condo in Florida. Love the look..love the swivel..love the design..love the comfort.
It is larger than described, with the seat measuring 23" at it's widest point. I couldn't fit four at a 9" island comfortably. Returns as always with O were as easy as it can be and that is appreciated. Trying again with another stool and hoping the measurements are on this time.

Colin D. Stolle, Commonwealth's Attorney for the City of Virginia Beach, announced today that Ronald James Boyd, 23 years old, formerly of the 1500 block of Oak Knoll Lane in Virginia Beach, Virginia, was sentenced today by Circuit Court Judge H. Thomas Padrick for Rape. Judge Padrick sentenced Boyd to 50 years in prison with 30 years suspended, leaving 20 years to serve. The sentence was above the high end of the Virginia State Sentencing Guidelines which recommended a maximum sentence of 17 years and 1 month in prison.
Boyd pled guilty on May 6, 2013. Had this matter gone to trial, the Commonwealth's evidence would have proven that on the evening of October 24, 2012, Ronald James Boyd Jr. invited the victim, who he had known for years, to his house to drink alcohol and play games with some friends. The victim drank malt liquor and began to feel drunk and unable to stand. She eventually fell asleep on a couch in the home and felt safe sleeping there because she knew and trusted the people in the home.
The victim awoke to Boyd sexually assaulting her. She reported this to the police, and investigators interviewed Boyd. Boyd confessed to the police that he sexually assaulted the victim while she was unconscious. Hours before the incident, Boyd posted on Facebook that he was about to rape someone. Police were able to copy and save the post before he removed it from Facebook.
Boyd has a previous conviction for Driving Under the Influence (DUI).

Good french restaurant in the tourist quarter. Good service and location. Good choice of dishes and wines
The most amazing bistrot is Phnom Penh. The owner was extremely friendly and very good in suggesting dishes. Will definitely miss this place.
Armand Gerbié''s bistro is next to the blind massage parlour, the pub with free wifi and across the road from the old market. The food may be expensive by local standards but from any other standard I haven't seen prices like this since 1967 in Paris. A superb Cote de Rhone is $89.Look the appetisers and desserts are great but...
Enjoyed a great dinner for 3 at this well renowned steakhouse. As expected the quality was exceptional. Delicious sides and sauces with a nice enough wine list.
If at all the wait for the main was a little long but if you are not hurry its well worth it.
Armand is a stylish French bistro located about 200 metres past the 'old market' away from the Riverside. The ambiance is good, the service professional, and the meat dishes and desserts excellent. The bistro being 'tres francais,' cigarette/cigar smoking is positively encouraged - so if you find that an issue probably best to go elsewhere. Prices are reasonably expensive.
Maps took me to a reastaurant 200 meters away, but found the place. Food was nice, had the chataubriand with foie gras sauce, very good.
Sadly I had to leave the restaurant before I could finish, due to some rude idiot lighting up a cigar in a small closed environment, plus cigarette smokers, how on earth can you allow smoking...
One of the most famous Steak Joints and French Restaurants in Cambodia.
The Chateaubriand is to die for.
Very pricey by Phnom Penh standards but hard to argue with the quality of the meal.
Service is adequate but not spectacular.
The ambiance was really cozy and relaxing perfect for those romantic dinner for two. The steak was perfectly cooked paired with a glass of wine and soothing background music- my girlfriend and me really enjoyed the night. Service crews are very accommodating.Cheers! Armands.
Small and typical French restaurant in the heart of Phnom Penh. I advise you the steak Armand style.Nice atmosphere and the owner gives a nice touch to the overall experience.
We always start our trip to Phnom Penh with dinner at Armand. Very French which is both good and amusing, no, you can't have anything that is not on the menu, but I like the eccentricities. We do splash out and the food is always good but the foie gras starter I had last time was small, not that good...

Capone felt the Sylvester Stallone and Walter Hill's BULLET TO THE HEAD was more like a pain in the ass!!!
Published at: Feb. 1, 2013, 12:01 p.m. CST by
Hey everyone.
in Chicago here.
I find as I get older that getting more of the same from an actor or director bores me more than it used to. And the good news about BULLET TO THE HEAD, the latest film from director Walter Hill (HARD TIMES, THE WARRIORS, STREETS OF FIRE, 48 HOURS, RED HEAT), is that it's something of a change of pace for star Sylvester Stallone. This is not an explosion romp in the vein of Stallone's EXPENDABLES movies, and he's playing a character that is, in very few ways, traditionally likable.
Stallone plays Jimmy Bobo, a New Orleans hit man who won't kill women or children, but outside of those parameters, he'll kill anyone. When his partner (John Seda) is killed after they complete a job, Jimmy suspects that he might be considered a loose end by the crime boss who hired him (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). Meanwhile, D.C. detective Taylor Kwon (FAST FIVE's Sung Kang) has also lost a partner and is in New Orleans looking for the same man as Jimmy. They form a shaky alliance in their search for the crime boss and his brutal button man (CONAN THE BARBARIAN's Jason Momoa, who does a great turn as a villain), and they spend the rest of the film fighting with each other, trading unfunny dialogue and shooting people.
Based on the graphic novel written by Matz, BULLET TO THE HEAD frankly feels like a subpar, direct-to-video release released in the mid-1990s. Everyone involved (except maybe Kwon) has done far better work and there's very little that we haven't seen in hundreds of other action films in the last 30 years. I like what Stallone is pulling off here as far as his performance, but when you place him next to the likes of Christian Slater, there's only so much the guy can do to improve this film. The Walter Hill fan in me was the most disappointed, since there's nothing really special about the way this film is directed aside from the somewhat brutal nature of some of the violence.
Honestly, I have very little to say about BULLET TO THE HEAD because even after seeing it twice (the first time at Butt Numb-a-Thon, the second earlier this week just as a refresher), it just didn't open itself up to interpretation or contemplation. No, not every movie does, but this one barely offers even characters, much of a plot, or one-liners that will be remembered. There is an all-too-brief axe fight; I will give it that. But this is also the kind of film that thinks that one guy who uses his smart phone to do police work is high falutin'. It's tiring.
But it's clear that Stallone isn't sleepwalking through this one; he's trying to make something of BULLET TO THE HEAD, even if nobody else can be bothered, including the esteemed director. Hell, for all I know, this is the first Stallone film of late that will bring fans of Stallone's earlier action work back the theaters. But it didn't work for Schwarzenegger a couple of weeks ago, and I thought THE LAST STAND was the better movie of the two. If you're typically pre-disposed to enjoy just about any Stallone movie put out or if you're a die-hard fan of Hill, you may be able to tolerate this one, but I was bored by it.

Trick or Treat at the Library! – Oct 30 – Griggsville, IL
Crime Stoppers Safety Precautions
Halloween is quickly approaching and Crime Stoppers of Pike County in conjunction with Pike County D.A.R.E. would like to take this opportunity to remind parents about a few safety precautions.
Since most trick or treating is done after dark, light-colored costumes and bags decorated with reflective tape or stickers will make children more visible to traffic. Costumes should not be too loose fitting to avoid tripping and falling. Have children use flashlights or glow sticks to help them see and to be seen by drivers.
While face paint offers the most unobstructed view, if choosing a mask make sure the eye openings are large enough so the child does not have an obstructed view. Children under 12 should not be out without adult supervision. Those mature enough to be out on their own should be reminded to stick to well lighted areas and stay in a group. And lastly – for those driving during the hours of trick or treating, be especially alert for children out walking around.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
Trunk or Treat – Oct 31 – Pittsfield, IL

No Magny-Cours return on the horizon
Bernie Ecclestone has dismissed suggestions that the French Grand Prix will return to the Formula One calendar next year. Some reports surfaced earlier this month suggested the management team in charge of Magny-Cours was putting together a proposal for getting back into Formula One, but during last week's Monaco Grand Prix, Ecclestone confirmed that the French track wasn't on the list of contenders for next year. "No," Ecclestone confirmed. "They are knocking on the door, but I don't think we can do that." Instead, Ecclestone confirmed that the inaugural Azerbaijan Grand Prix will take place on a street circuit in Baku next year. "Yes, it is all done," he...

text: Writing Across the Curriculum, Vol. 11: April 2000 Writing Experiences Across the Art Department Curriculum 37 Spotlight Interviews on Writing Assignments for Into Thin Air: David Zehr, Kim Smith & Shane Cutler, and Susan Noel Share Their Approaches Roy Andrews and Katherine Donahue In December 1998, the First Year Task Force chose Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air as a common reading for all incoming first- year students. First-year orientation sessions (held in June and Au- gust) included a discussion of the first chapter of the book. IAC instructors were asked to include discussion of the book in their classes, and a number of instructors included writing assignments concerning the book in their IAC curricula. Towards the end of the Fall semester 1999, IAC instructors were e-mailed and asked to share any writing assignment(s) they had used with Into Thin Air. What follows are three "spotlight" interviews with IAC instructors which show a variety of approaches that can be taken with a writing as- signment. These interviews provide successful models for those who wish to include writing assignments in the future, not only in IAC, but also in other courses, and when viewed together they bring to light common methods that are often the foundation of successful writing assignments. 37 38 Writing Across the Curriculum David Zehr's Approach Over the eight weeks of his IAC course this fall, Psychology professor David Zehr had his IAC students write eight one-page papers in response to articles they read, such as "The Earthly Use of a Liberal Education" and "The Computer Delusion." These regular writings were basically freewrites, intended to help students engage with the readings. The two page response to Into Thin Air was simi- lar; however, when assigning the paper David used the occasion to present his students with the basic point that most academic writing involves rethinking and therefore rewriting, a point that, as David puts it, "most of them had probably not learned in high school." David's assignment asked students to choose a theme that in- terested them from the list developed by the First Year Task Force, themes such as knowing when a goal is wise and worthwhile, and recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of group decision mak- ing. They were then asked to write a two-page first draft in which they discussed what they had learned about the theme by reading Into Thin Air and how the theme related to their own life experi- ences, as well as describing their personal reactions to the book. In all parts of the paper they were encouraged to use specific examples from the book to support their assertions. A completed first draft was required in one week, at which time they would all go visit the College Writing Center. To present this writing assignment David did a great deal of talking to his class about drafts and about what a first draft entails. A first draft, he explained, is a work-in-progress, written without concern for grammar and mechanics. It is a start, a getting out of ideas, a beginning. Nobody writes a perfect first draft, not even professors. David at this time shared with his students some of his writing projects and writing experiences, what his first drafts were like, the rewriting he did, the feedback he got from others, and how he used that to reconsider and revise. In college, David told them, you will need to get used to the idea of revising your writing, and the place on campus that can help you with this is the College Writ- ing Center. Writing Assignments for Into Thin Air 39 "I wanted my IAC students to learn about the College Writing Center not from a canned tour," says David, "but from an actual experience in which they used it." Students, therefore, were re- quired to have a first draft of their papers on the day the class visited the CWC. At the College Writing Center, David's students shared their first drafts in small groups of peers and writing consultants. The writing consultants gave response that focused on what the drafts seemed to be saying and whether or not the requirements of the assignment were met. Response was supportive and encouraging, focused in ways that helped writers consider where in their drafts they might want to revise. "My workload for this assignment," says David, "was mini- mal. I read and commented on 19 two-page papers, and the per- sonal element made them particularly enjoyable to read." David was primarily positive with his comments, giving them bits of praise like "I agree with you here," or "Yes!" or "This is a well-articulated thought." He also noted places where he would like to have heard more or would like to have seen a supporting example from the book. Papers were graded check for adequate, or check minus if they needed to do another draft. (Just two or three students received check minuses.) Next year David plans to give a similar assignment but grade the papers. Some wrote beautiful papers while others wrote only enough to fulfill the assignment, and he would like to reinforce those who put in extra effort. Also, next time he would like to require a third draft, but he's not sure if he can schedule that. Overall, what David liked most about the experience of assigning this paper was that it reinforced two of his beliefs: that it is very important early on to have students learn about the importance of writing, and that IAC can be a course with meaningful academic experience that relates to their other academic work. 40 Writing Across the Curriculum Kim Smith & Shane Cutler's Approach Early on in the semester, Kim Smith, Director of Alumni Rela- tions, and Shane Cutler, Assistant Director of Student Activities and Greek Life, who team teach IAC, polled their students and discov- ered that over half of them had no meaningful book in their lives. Apparently, these students had no idea how to make personal value out of what they read. About Into Thin Air they said, "I'm not going to climb a mountain, so why do I have to read this book?" Kim and Shane wanted to teach students how to look at what they were reading and think about how it applied to themselves. This, the instructors explained to their students, involves going be- yond the simple story to the themes or ideas of the book and asking, "Is this the truth for me?" Even for those who did not enjoy the read, there was something to be gained by figuring out what themes from Into Thin Air could be applied to their own lives. To foster a personal connection with the read, Kim and Shane developed a journaling writing assignment. As they explained on their assignment sheet, "Journaling in this class is much more per- sonal and conversational than most papers, and it's really not a very difficult assignment to do. Journals help individuals to reflect on a reading, an experience, or life in general. Journals help people to connect academic ideas to their personal lives—it is a record of how you see the world, based on what you have learned." The actual assignment asked students to write a journal entry, two pages minimum, in which they reflected on the book and what it meant to them. Common themes in the book were mentioned, and students were asked which one they related to and which ones they could relate to their experiences at Plymouth State College so far. As the assignment sheet stated, "This journal is a chance for you to tell us (and yourself) what personal meaning you got out of Into Thin Air." Despite a carefully crafted assignment sheet, many students were initially unsure about how to write a paper that asked them to take control of their learning. "How long should the paper be?" and "What should I write about?" were repeatedly asked questions. Writing Assignments for Into Thin Air 41 "What you write about and how long you make it is up to you," the instructors kept replying, and gradually all students got the idea. "Meaningful learning," Kim says, "is taking something from the outside and making it internal. By writing about it and applying it to themselves, the students can get more from the text and control what they're learning and processing." Once the students got used to the approach, Kim and Shane saw some exciting developments. "Orally, some students complained about the read," says Kim, "but students probably appreciated the book more after writing about it. Their papers showed that they had made some personal meaning, and they did not complain about the read in their papers." Most students wrote about motivation and perseverance. For example, one student wrote about his experiences trying out for an athletic team at PSC. No matter how badly one session may have gone, he kept going back and working towards the ultimate goal of making the team. He related this to the Everest climb. No matter how tired the climbers were, no matter how many setbacks they had, they kept climbing. In his paper this student went on to discuss how perseverance would be necessary to stay on the team and to succeed in other aspects of life at Plymouth, too. About half of the students received five points by taking drafts of their papers to the College Writing Center for a read. "Next year," says Kim, "we will require the writing center visit because the pa- pers of those who went were much better than the others." Kim and Shane each read half of the papers and wrote comments in the mar- gins. They gave points for how well the students had taken themes from the book and demonstrated personal meaning, how well they structured their papers, and how well they used correct spelling and grammar. The workload for each instructor was about half an hour to create the assignment, half an hour to convey the assignment to stu- dents (spread over several different class meetings when the instruc- tors asked if there were any more questions about the assignment and students frequently asked more), and about two hours to read 42 Writing Across the Curriculum and comment meaningfully on the papers. Kim and Shane will definitely use this writing assignment again, as it helped their students make personal meaning out of the as- signed book. Also, next time, like this semester, they will assign weekly readings from Education of Character: Lessons for Begin- ners by Will Keim and require regular in-class journal entries on the chapters because those writings, like the one on Into Thin Air, al- lowed their students to make personal meaning out of what they had read. Susan Noel's Approach Susan Noel, Library Associate, created her writing assignment on Into Thin Air to fulfill several goals. "This assignment," she says, "connected the book to other aspects of the IAC course so it wasn't just a required book floating out there." Susan had each of her students find a website, any website, that in some way connected to the content of Into Thin Air. The paper, a minimum of two pages, was a discussion of the website, a description of how the website was found, and an explanation of the connection made between the website and the book. As the assign- ment sheet and Susan's oral instructions made clear, the paper had to include a cut-and-pasted passage from the website, as well as the website address. It was also specified that the final paper be printed at a college cluster, and that it meet all format expectations of a standard college paper: one inch margins, standard font size, and double spacing. Susan's assignment developed from her use of the new IAC computer module with her class, which has freed up her class time- wise. Now she does not spend class time teaching students how to double space and format disks because the module covers that. But, she is quick to point out, even though they pass the IAC computer module, they still might not know how to use the college's word- processing technology and produce a standard college paper. This assignment makes sure students do know how to use the resources Writing Assignments for Into Thin Air 43 available by taking them through a model of a paper producing pro- cess that they might use in any college course. The assignment also bolstered a class discussion of Into Thin Air. Students brought in two printed pages from their chosen website, and that opened a discussion of many things connected with the book. "Several kids brought in stuff about the Sherpas," says Su- san. "They felt the Sherpas were mistreated and exploited, while others took a different position and a discussion opened up from that." Some students brought in really surprising and interesting things. For example, one student brought in the actual equipment list for the climb that he'd found on a webpage. With web material they brought to class, students supplied the content for class discus- sions on the book, and in this way the class became more student- centered, and students experienced the confidence-building fulfill- ment of taking initiative. Drafts of the papers were due a week after the discussion. "I didn't tell them about the College Writing Center visit," says Susan. "I just required a draft of the paper for class on that day. I wanted them to visit the writing center with writing in their hands." At the writing center, students shared their drafts aloud in small groups of peers led by a writing consultant. Students experienced the feel of their writing being listened to and taken as real commu- nication. Their interests and ideas were responded to in conversa- tions that encouraged them to talk more about their topics. These conversations affirmed the work they had done reading, research- ing, and writing, and encouraged some to further develop their pa- pers and clarify their ideas. After the writing center visit, students put their papers into fi- nal draft form and passed them in. "I read the papers, but loosely," says Susan. "If they were interesting, I read them carefully. If not, I skimmed." In the margins she wrote comments like, "Hey, this is interesting," and "I haven't thought of that before," as well as other casual remarks about the content, but she made no evaluation or judgment of their ideas. "Students don't get much feedback from professors with no grade attached, just like people back and forth," 44 Writing Across the Curriculum says Susan, "and this assignment allowed that." Credit, which was required for passing the course, was given when they completed the process. If their papers were properly formatted, printed out on a college cluster printer, included a web address, and had a webpage passage cut-and-pasted cleanly, then they passed. "I got an assortment of peculiarly printed out webpages and papers," says Susan. "Some whipped through the assignment. Others had the usual problems students run into like they lost stuff because they didn't save, or they were unable to open files, or they didn't know how to double space, or they forgot to write down the website address. I helped them along, and eventually they got it all right, and through that experience they learned some basic things that will be useful to them throughout their college careers." Susan says she would do this assignment again because she feels there's real value when students go out and find something that interests them. There was no extra work for her to speak of, and doing the paper fulfilled lots of valuable things. Her main piece of advice to others who assign it is this: "You need to be very concrete about the things you want in a writing assignment like this one, both concrete to the students and in your own mind." Common Elements of the Three Approaches These three successful writing assignments offer excellent models for others who decide to include writing assignments in their classes. Looking at all three together, common elements become apparent: 1) Give students the opportunity to choose a topic of personal interest 2) Incorporate stages of a writing process into the assignment 3) Encourage use of the College Writing Center 4) Respond to the content of the papers as an interested reader 5) Make the assignment requirements clear (written) 6) Hold students to your expectations Writing Assignments for Into Thin Air 45 Though no list of methods can absolutely assure success, these six methods practiced together are likely, as they did with David Zehr, Kim Smith & Shane Cutler, and Susan Noel, to result in a successful experience for others who decide to assign writing in their classes.

Posted February 28, 2013 on AP on Fox
Brandon Laird hit a grand slam and Rick Ankiel hit his first home run of the spring, leading the Houston Astros to a 7-6 victory over a split squad of New York Yankees on Thursday. Laird's grand slam came in the sixth inning off loser Shane Greene. Ankiel, trying to make the Astros as a 33-year-old outfielder, has six hits in nine spring at-bats. His homer off Mike O'Brien broke a scoreless tie in the fifth inning. Melky Mesa's three-run run homer off Ross Seaton in the top of the sixth had given the Yankees a 5-1 lead after RBI singles by Zoilo Altmonte and Matt Diaz. Lucas Harrell pitched the first three innings for Houston in his second spring start, giving up no runs on three hits, while Sam Demel got the win. Yankees starter Brett Marshall pitched to the minimum nine batters in his three innings, striking out three while Francisco Cervelli threw out two runners attempting to steal.

Interesting early use of the "force field" idea; note that the authors felt that the barrier needed wires to carry energy.
Compare with the force-field from John Campbell's 1931 story Islands of Space, the barrier from Robert Heinlein's 1940 novella Coventry and the Langston field from Niven and Pournelle's 1974 classic The Mote in God's Eye.
