1997 ParticipantsZachary | Cheri | David | Daniel | David | Chris
Lucas | Maria | John | Rebecca | Susana | Katrina
Jodi | Anh | Travis | James | Kevin | Dana | Joshua
Phase II Scholars attended their second summer study at the University of Washington in August of 1997. During that session they worked closely with University faculty; in small groups they studied genetics, computer science, and technical communication. Throughout the year they continue to communicate via the Internet and participate in DO-IT activities, projects, and internships.
ZacharyMy name is Zachary, and I am from Pennsylvania. I will attend Pennsylvania State University as an honors student, double majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics. I hope to return a portion of the magnanimity granted me; developing adaptive technology.
DavidMy name is David. I am 17 and in the 12th grade at Rainier Beach in Washington. I have Attention Deficit Disorder. I want to go to college and get a degree in Microbiology and eventually a masters in Virology. I am also a Trekke.
CheriHey there. My name is Cheri and I am from Iowa. I am a paraplegic as a result of a farm accident when I was one. I am very active in wheelchair track and basketball. I will be a senior this year. I plan to attend the Univeristy of Illinois to participate in sports and study biology.
DanielMy name is Daniel and I'm 17 years old. I live in Connecticut and I just completed my junior year at the Morgan High School. In 1990, I was in a bicycle accident in which I hit my head. After an operation to remove a brain tumor, I could do absolutely nothing but now I can do anything that a normal kid can do except my balance is a little bit off. I love computers. I taught myself programming and I like making programs in Visual Basic. Someday I hope to get a job doing computer programming.
DavidMy name is David and I am an 18 year old graduate of La Grande High School in Oregon. I will attend Eastern Oregon State College in this fall. As far as my disability goes, I am Albino. My particular condition is what most call "full" Albinism, which includes lack of pigment in the hair, skin, and eyes. Consequently, I am extremely sensitive to light and burn easily in the sun. I also have a vision loss which came in the Albinism packet; I have the approximate acuity of 20/200, which can make life interesting at times. For hobbies, I like computers, camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, and playing video games.
ChrisMy name is Chris and I am from North Dakota. I'm 18 years old and I will attend the University of North Dakota this fall. I have had a profound hearing loss since I was born. I hope to work with computers. I spend most of my time surfing the Internet and enjoying the outdoors.
LucasMy name is Lucas and I am hard of hearing. I was born in Oregon and have lived there all my life. My dad is a police officer and my mom is a librarian. I have a younger sister who is 12. We have a miniature schnauzer named Satie. I'm 17 years old. Sports are a big part of my life. My favorite is baseball. Others I enjoy are football, basketball, golf, hunting, and tennis.
MariaI'm from Maine, born in 1980. I am deaf, profoundly deaf. I am a senior at a deaf school known as Model School for the Deaf. I like to play softball and volleyball and to read harlequin romance books and mysteries. I like to do something fun instead of doing nothing! For example, I play pool, treasure hunt, whatever, maybe basketball (I'm lousy! But I don't care!), ping pong, variant! My interests are in mathematics and science and I want to be a veterinarian, doctor, or marine biologist. Even though I am deaf, I must believe that I can do it and try it.
JohnHi! I am John. I live in Idaho. I have Cerebral Palsy and I use a wheelchair. I graduated from high school this past May and will attend a local community college.
MichaelMy name is Michael and I am a 17 year-old from Maine. I love computers, music, sports, and anything else fun! I have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), which is a pretty big problem in school. Most of my teachers are understanding enough for me to still do well. I think that if it weren't for computers, I would not be half as far along as I am now.
RebeccaMy name is Rebecca. I was born in 1980 in San Diego, California. I've had Cerebral Palsy since birth, affecting my limb motion, hearing, and eyesight. My hobbies include hanging out with my friends, listening to music, writing lyrics, and reading. I think I've had a better time at the DO-IT summer program than I've had in two years!
SusanaI am Susana and I live in Washington. I have a leaning disability. What I like to do is art and science. I will enroll at the Cornish School of Arts this fall and major in Art. I do a lot of traveling and see a lot of things.
KatrinaMy name is Katie. I am 18 years old and live in Oregon. I have juvenile diabetes. I have taken ballet all my life and enjoy most sports. I will attend Augustana college in Illinois this fall.
JodiHi! My name is Jodi and I just graduated from Filer High School in Idaho. I have eight sisters, two brothers and two dogs. I have mild Cerebral Palsy which affects my lower extremities. I am so lucky to be a part of the DO- IT program. DO-IT has opened up many opportunities for me. Through DO- IT I have learned so much about myself and others with disabilities. I will attend Idaho State University and major in pre-medicine so that I can accomplish my life-long dream of becoming a physician.
AnhMy name is Anh. I'm 17 years old and live in California. In the fall I will be a senior. My favorite sport is basketball, and my favorite players are Michael Jordan and Anferee Hardaway. My hobby is collecting magic and basketball cards. I have Larsen Syndrome, which affects the joints in my body. I use an electric wheelchair.
TravisMy name is Travis and I am blind. I am 17 years old and live on a farm in Nebraska. When I am at home, I usually help on the farm like feeding our hogs or helping with the irrigation of our corn. I am excited about the Internet and happy that I am getting some experience with it.
JamesI'm James and I'm twenty years old. My disability is Cerebral Palsy, which was caused by a medical accident when I was two months old. I have a sister, Tiffani, and a brother, Aaron. I will be a senior in mainstream classes at Poquoson High School this fall. I am considering attending the University of Pittsburgh. I hope to open a business, like a restaurant. My interests are football, television, and mathematics.
KevinHello, I am Kevin. I am blind. I was born and raised in Nebraska. I am now a senior and most likely going to study astronomy in college. My hobbies, or the only things I do so that I don't die of boredom, are reading, origami, and hanging out with my friends. In addition to DO-IT Scholars, I'm a participant with the NASA Space Camp program.
DanaMy name is Dana from Massachusetts. I like to cruise the 'Net, play soccer, swim, play volleyball, and play my bass. I have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and LD (Learning Disability) which makes it hard for me to write and understand certain things. My best subjects are science, math, and history. My worst subject is English.

Digital Piano
Introducing the digital piano for the modern age. The high-quality FP-5 offers supremely natural sound in a refined and compact modern body. Equally suited for home or stage, it redefines the meaning of "stylish," "smart," and "easy to play." Not only does it feel and sound like a rich, reverberant and expressive acoustic grand piano, it's also packed full of handy features only available in a fine digital instrument. Whether you're new to the piano, a seasoned pro, or just trying to get back into it again, the FP-5 is perfect for you.
The FP-5's simple, contemporary form offers the perfect blend of stylishness and quality. Its sleek body, accented by a soft champagne gold color, is ideal for any modern room or stage-and fits almost anywhere. The attractive acrylic music stand comes with fastening screws, so it stays put no matter where you play. And the optional FPS-11A stand nicely complements the FP-5's refined lines.
With its unique Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard, the FP-5 feels as natural as an acoustic grand piano. It gives the same light touch in the upper range and heavier touch in the lower range. It also delivers lighter resistance on pianissimo passages and stronger resistance on fortissimo passages. Authentic acoustic piano touch is right at your fingertips.
Roland built its latest stereo-sampled pianos and sound source technology into the FP-5. So it sounds just like a full concert acoustic grand, delivering the same breadth of expression and natural, dynamic richness, right down to the most delicate nuance. And of course, its sound source provides 64-voice polyphony, so you don't need to worry about note cutoffs when playing.
The FP-5's high-performance 10cm twin-magnet speaker system brings out the true sweetness and responsiveness of the sound, without compromising the FP-5's stylishly compact design. Its rounded speakers help ensure your sound remains clear, with a natural, flat frequency response.
The FP-5 can respond to half-pedal playing, for even more realistic acoustic piano-like expression. It comes with one DP-8 pedal as an accessory-so you can enjoy the half-pedaling feature the moment you bring it home. The FP-5 also offers three pedal connection ports (Damper/Sostenuto/Soft) to attach other pedals (optional) for a more expressive performance. For even more piano fun, you can assign many other functions to the Soft and Sostenuto pedal jacks, such as Expression, Session Partner Start/Stop, Bend Up/Down and many others.
Create a "live" music session with the Session Partner function. Choose the appropriate kind of drums and bass, select one of 80 realistic rhythm patterns ranging from Pop to Jazz to Latin as your backing, and you're ready to play. Furthermore, by choosing one of 90 preset chord progressions, the Session Partner will faithfully provide the right accompaniment for you. You can also set your own chord progression. It's an ideal function for composing, drafting a performance, or playing ad lib, whether on stage or at home. Naturally, you can use the Session Partner as auto-accompaniment and play chords with your left hand in real time. And with the FP-5,s built-in 3-track recorder, you can even record and play back your performance, the Session Partner backup, or the rhythm part. It's practical, functional and fun!
With its Setup function, the FP-5 can memorize up to seven different settings and instrument sounds. A simple button touch instantly recalls those settings—perfect for use on stage! The FP-5 can also memorize program changes for each setup, making it ideal for external sound source control. Plus, a simple, dedicated knob on the panel lets you quickly and easily adjust the volume balance of either instrument sound in Split mode or Dual mode. It's great for live performances.
With a wealth of onboard instrument sounds-everything from electric piano to strings, guitar and many others-the FP-5 has the right instrument for whatever you want to play. It has numerous other features too. You can create an instant ensemble by using the Split mode to divide the keyboard in half and select a different instrument sound for each hand. Or you can combine two sounds with Dual mode play, for even more expression. You can also use the Pedal Pitch Bend function to sustain notes. Best of all, in addition to Reverb, the FP-5 has 10 special sound effects like Chorus, Sympathetic Resonance, the Rotary effect for organ sounds, the Phaser and Tremolo effects for electric piano, and more.
The FP-5 incorporates Roland's unique Virtual ToneWheel organ sound, perfectly reproducing the soulful sound of a tone wheel organ. These are not mere presets; you can change the level of each footage to create just the organ sound you want.
The FP-5 is equipped with a built-in USB port* that makes MIDI connection to your computer a breeze. With this USB port and GM2-compliant sound source, you can set up the FP-5 as a computer music input keyboard or sound source for GM/GM2.
*The USB port handles MIDI messages only.
*CD-ROM containing USB drivers for Windows and Mac OS included. USB cable not included.
The FP-5 offers several jacks and ports to connect to other devices. The input jacks let you connect external audio devices such as CD players, so you can play along with your favorite CDs. The output jacks let you play the FP-5 through external audio equipment or your home audio system.

Listen To Your Mother: Sleep More, Work Less
I've been trying to keep a low profile and stay home as much as possible lately. The silver lining of my continued illness is that I've finally tried Pinterest and I really like it. It's a great way to organize everything that inspires you on the web on a virtual bulletin board that you can share with the world. As a woman with countless disorganized bookmarks on my computer, this is just the sort of organizational tool I need. Now I just have to figure out how to find more time to pin everything I like.
It's week four of my spring cold and I feel like I'm trapped in a suspended reality. I've been working in slow motion for weeks and trying my best to keep all the plates spinning. I normally move through life in fast forward, so I've been struggling a bit with my lack of patience for these things.
But every time I'm forced to slow down against my will, I'm reminded to sleep more and work less. Somebody, please remind me that I wrote this when I'm well. It's so easy to forget the sleep part when I'm feeling great.
So if you've been wondering why I haven't posted a new podcast in weeks, it's because my voice is still raspy and I'm still in recovery mode. But I've been to the doctor (twice) and I'll eventually be fine and podcasting again. Thanks so much for your patience.
Oh, and the photo at the top of this post documents one of the things that has resulted from the fact that I haven't been going out of my house much lately. I dusted off (literally) a loom I had stashed in a corner and finished a patchwork piece I started last summer. I guess there are some benefits to be sick. Cough, cough, hack…
Oh, and one more thing. I posted the winner of the "Just Be Happy Crochet" book here. Thanks to everyone who posted comments.
Ok, so I'm going to head to bed. If you have a favorite cold-kicking remedy please share it below. I should have asked you guys for help weeks ago. Be well!

How did you sew the squares together? I hope you feel better soon. It's really not surprising given the wicked schedule you've been on. You already know the best remedy is rest but is that going to happen? Hmmmm…..
Comment from Georgene Lockwood

My favorite cold remedies:
Hot Mama's Lemonade: cup of hot water, juice of one lemon (or half a lemon if that's too much), teaspoon of raw honey and a dash of cayenne pepper. If you can add a bit of minced garlic to it (I love the taste of garlic, but some people could NEVER do this!) all the better. Knocks the snot out of anything that ails you.
And for your throat and to help clear your head, Olbas' lozenges. They are STRONG but do they ever work!
Right how we're dealing with spring allergies, mine to juniper is at the forefront. But my homeopathic drops (Allergan, Zone 6) and my Olbas lozenges, plus a teaspoon of local honey each day has kept them almost completely at bay!
Hang in there, this, too will pass. When I broke my leg and was in a wheel chair for 3 months it was so interesting how my perspective changed on what was important. I learned to really take care of myself and cut myself some slack and that lesson has carried through to now, when I'm walking almost normally and taking back my life. There are no accidents and we all have lessons to learn, always.

Hope you feel better soon, Jennifer! Raw garlic is my go-to cold remedy. It's most effective taken as soon as the cold symptoms begin, but I find it can help to shorten the life of a cold already started too. I chop it up small and either put it in soup or swallow the pieces like pills w/ water or tea.
This is really gross, but my Dr. says that cold viruses live in the intestines, so to really get rid of a virus, he suggests a lemon water enema. Take that bit of advice as you will!!( I can't believe I am posting this on the internet!) Get better soon!

Here is a delicious variation on the above remedy – take about an inch of fresh ginger root, wash it, slice it as thinly as you can, and bring the slices to a boil in some water – maybe 2 cups? – then drop to a simmer for 10-15 minutes. None of this is exact – you just want to extract the goodness and flavor from the ginger. Strain. Add to it the juice from half a medium lemon – maybe 1/4 cup? Then add honey to it all – to taste. I am guessing I add around 3-4 TB. Drink it warm. I make up a bottle to keep in the fridge when we get sick, then warm up as needed. Note that the ginger will give it a hot/spicy kick – so if you are sensitive to that you can tone it down by using less ginger.
I also SWEAR by Source Naturals Wellness Formula, although it is most effective at the first hint of being sick.
Just found your website – I heard an interview with you (Craftcast) that inspired me to come over and check you out. I hope you feel better soon!

I am not going to offer any cold remedies as you are an adult and I can assume since you are able to work a blog and podcast, that you know how to take care of yourself. That being said I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Please feel free to edit my earlier comment (the second half). I can't believe I wrote that, but I can't edit it myself (I tried). Anyhow, now I'm getting sick too…hopefully it won't be too long lasting. Feel better!

Sooooo sorry that you are still feeling bad! Rest is really the only thing that can help I think along with OJ and chicken soup.
It would be nice if the sun would come out and warm us up here in the midwest—–when it does, sit in the sun and feel it's warmth–soak it in and think good thoughts. Everything else you feel you have to do will just have to wait! Be Well!

Hi Jennifer,
What you are calling a cold, I believe is one of the flus going around. They last six weeks. I work in the schools and even with a flu shot I got it. Finally after six weeks I am myself again. I have seen nearly every teacher and most of the kids at this school coughing and hacking. So in my professional opinion :), you will climb out of this in the next few days and be done with this in two more weeks. Patience, Obiwon. And you are also doing great just maintaining!

Lots of tea with honey is all I can offer besides lots of fluids and rest. Get well, Jennifer!

I've heard that lime juice is good for you when you're sick. We do water with some ginger and some lime and then nuke it for a bit till it's hot. I just got done being sick… Hope you feel better soon!

Poor you! Spring Crud is the worst. Thanks for pointing out Pinterest (I think) I need to collect some decorating ideas and this looks like the perfect way to do it – and see my ideas side by side in an organized way. I just can't do the "little tiny peices of paper thing" – drives me crazy and my living arrangements right now won't support it.

- Allows for three types of icons:
- Custom Image Icons;
- Color Swatch Icons;
- Text Icons (the number of symbols is unlimited, but 2-3 symbol icons look best);

- Color Swatches can be automatically created upon the module installation (when colors are defined in English);
- Allows for placing icons on filter, catalog and product pages and in layered navigation;

I really like soccer. Playing it or watching it, I'm in. I will admit to not knowing all the intricacies of the game and even that a call for being offside still confuses me…but I like that the clock doesn't stop. And you have to appreciate the athletic ability of soccer players…they can average up to 6 miles of more of running during those 90 minutes.
Apparently, a lot of Jacksonville likes soccer. 44,438 people were in attendance at EverBank Field to watch the U.S. Men's National Team defeat Scotland. The River City showed up last night in full patriotic colors, setting records, and being wonderfully rowdy as always.
Kilts. 'Nuff said.
These two went all "blue steel" on me as I was taking the picture. It was awesome. And then there was this police officer…when did Jacksonville police make such tight pants part of the uniform?
And then there were these guys. A lot of people wore pieces of Avenger's costumes.
My friends Annie and Eddie, lookin' good in red, white, and blue.
Th crowd became bottlenecked at each stadium entrance. Everyone was subjected to a pat down and bag search…security wasn't playing around. They did have separate lines for men and women though…so that was nice.
So far, when I've been part of patriotic events in Jacksonville, I've noticed a level of irony in people's patriotism. Yeah, there are lot of flags and innumerable outfits of red, white, and blue. But then there's also this: shirts that feature American eagles riding motorcycles against the backdrop of the American flag…and this guy made it even better by tearing off the sleeves.
The Gadsden flag…a common sight at national team games. Apparently "Don't Tread On Me" is a rallying cry for American soccer fans.

Can Editors Make the Jump to Marketing Services?
One who did explains how.
"Content is king" once again, at least when it comes to marketing services (original content for many dedicated publishing brands has largely given way to more cost-effective strategies of aggregation and curation).
"What's interesting is [clients] want our expertise as content producers, not our audience," says Dave Newcorn, vice president of digital and custom media at Summit Media, which earlier this year launched its own dedicated custom media group.
But if marketing services is where the investment is going, does that necessarily mean there is an opportunity for "traditional" editors, many of which have endured stagnant salaries (if not actual salary cuts) and lay-offs in recent years, to get a piece of the pie?
Maybe not, according to some experts. "Somebody who's been editing a magazine for 20 years can't do it," says the head of marketing services at a major b-to-b publisher. "The mindset is different."
Smart publishers draw a firm line between the authors of content marketing and authors of dedicated market-focused editorial. And many are simply applying the same bottom dollar approach they've given to freelance to marketing services.
However, there may be an opportunity for editors to transition into a new type of "content marketing specialist. Jonah Bloom, the former editor of Advertising Age, recently became executive director of content strategy with Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal & Partners (KBS&P).
Granted, as editor of Ad Age, Bloom came to his new position with an insider's understanding of agency life. But he also says that the skill sets for traditional editors and content marketing specialists really aren't that different. As he previously told Ad Age, he, "started to see that all the skills required to be an editor today—the ability to synthesize, filter, make sense of data, quickly create multi-platform content that people will interact with, market that content—might be useful to brands."
FOLIO: Jonah, please discuss the major differences between your role now and your previous roles as a more traditional editor.
Bloom: I think the number one difference is that as an editor you're trying to engage and serve the same audience day in, day out. As a content guy at an agency you're looking to engage and serve a whole variety of audiences depending on the client's market and potential market. The good news is that this keeps you on your toes, but it's constant research into exactly what the brand stands for and what their potential audience needs and responds to.
FOLIO: On the sales side, publishers talk about how the lead times are so much longer on the sales side for marketing services. What's the biggest difference in creating content on the marketing side? Â
Bloom: Publishing typically moves faster than marketing in terms of content production, partly because the processes and protocols are established and then repeated at whatever frequency is required—it's a little more like customized manufacturing in some aspects, whereas some other marketing is more like a service business. In marketing, you're often creating new processes and protocols for each content platform or program and you're dealing with many more stakeholders.
FOLIO: What are the different skill sets that are required for an editorial role in marketing services or content marketing?
Bloom: I don't think the skill sets are that different. To be either an editor or a content strategist you need to understand your audience and what content or utility they want or need so much that they'll give up their time to engage with it; you need to understand all the machinations in planning for and making that content; and you need to understand the best ways of delivering that in terms of media and technology. You probably also have a decent sense of design, because good content is frequently sunk by bad user experience.
What's most different is the organization or culture in which you're going to operate. While editorial may still have too many tiers of management in places, processes and hierarchies are still typically more linear and flatter than big brand marketing processes. Editorial operations are typically full of people who are focused on current affairs (as defined by the media) and their editorial competitors. Whereas marketing agencies are more interested in culture (as defined by customers and ad shops) and brands. It's certainly worth experiencing the difference before you make the transition.

DAVE OTTO 6AM to 10AM
Ever since leaving my hometown of Minneapolis and breaking into radio at 19 in Catskill, N.Y., I have traversed the country from coast to coast creating havoc and leaving a trail of broken marriages. My first major market job was in Phoenix where I was officially given the moniker "Crazy" Dave Otto after being ruled legally insane by the court. That label stuck with me through gigs in Houston, San Diego, Cleveland, Boston and Dallas before finally being told by my PD in Denver it was too juvenile. I thought that's what he hired me for!
I have received numerous citations over the years (mostly traffic) and the two awards that were actually related to radio were later taken back when it was discovered a bribe was involved.
I remain single because…well…if you were a woman, would you want to mess with all that baggage?

June 2012 Archives
Welcome to 300 The Fenway's latest installment of "Where are they now?", a feature that chronicles the amazing things Simmons College women are accomplishing after graduation.
Meet Michaela Eichenbaum '10, an adventurer at heart who has made her passion for action sports her career. She graduated from Simmons in 2010 with a B.A. in Communications and decided to move from her hometown of Portsmouth, New Hampshire to sunny San Diego, California.
She currently works as an art intern for SURFING Magazine while managing freelance graphic design and photography projects for various clients.
- What is a typical day like at your job?
- Out of everything I do, my unpaid internship is hands down my favorite, and there is nothing typical about it! I report to the art director and he gives me a couple of projects per day, anything from designing web banners, to organizing and preparing photos and files, to creating sponsor banners and advertisements for events (for example, I recently created a banner to represent SURFING Magazine at the Newport Film Festival).
The team here is very small, so I am learning up close and personal the creative process behind making a magazine.
- What was the job application process like for you?
- When they tell you it's all about who you know, they aren't kidding. I asked a good friend and mentor of mine if he had any contacts at the magazines in SoCal. He is an amazing action sports photographer who has done a lot of freelance work for many different surf magazines. He gave me the associate photo editor's contact info at SURFING and I shot him a short email explaining my deal and attached my resume. He then put me in touch with the art director.
They were hiring an associate art director at the time, I applied for that, but didn't get the job. I heard back from the Art Director about a month or so later asking if I would be interested in an internship (um, yeah!) I interviewed with him and started the following week.

Wicked author Gregory Maguire speaks at national Children's Literature Conference held at Simmons College
More than 400 scholars, critics, and literary professionals are expected to attend the 39th Annual Children's Literature Association Conference hosted by Simmons College and featuring renown author Gregory Maguire. Maguire is a Simmons alumnus and former children's literature professor whose book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West was adapted into a hit Broadway play.
The three-day national conference will be held June 14-16 and Maguire will deliver the distinguished Francelia Butler Lecture on Friday, June 15.
SIMMONS Magazine recently caught up with Maguire who credits Simmons with expanding his literary viewpoint while also honing his skills as an author and storyteller:
"I had splendid professors at Simmons: kind, devoted to students individually, knowledgeable without being lofty, inclusive," says Maguire. "They taught me, by their example, not just to know the subject, but to know how to think further, ask deeper questions, and, incidentally, quite a bit about how to teach."

Game Description
New with THPS 4: Skate as long as you want! Instead of timed levels, as in earlier games, you can now skate the night away in any of THPS 4's arenas. When you're ready to take on a challenge, talk to a pedestrian to get an objective, then bust your funky fresh moves! New goals such as Combo strings and mini-games in a tennis court add to the fun. Also new is the "Go Pro" challenge: after finishing the amateur levels, you must perform a special challenge, unique to your pro, in order to open the professional levels. And there's still all the great multiplayer skating you've come to expect from the Tony Hawk titles.

I happen to have found an entire blog devoted to what happens when you put a cat on a scanner bed and push scan now.
They're strangely adorable.
Oh, and if you get so enamored of the cat scan concept, you can scan your own cat (or your own cat's butt given the way many of the scans turn out) and send it in to the cat scan blog owner. You may make the cut and appear in a future post.
My cats will not be appearing as I, sadly, do not own my own scanner. The cats and I would have to make a trip to the library ... or the English office ... and somehow I don't imagine that going well.

Actor Vijay has his own success formulas like unique dialogues, scintillating songs and those awesome fight sequences. At the moment he is acting as a romantic hero in a film called Kaavalan. The director has decided to disturb his peace of mind by having two heroines in this film. One is the glamorous Asin and the other one is none other than the import from Kerala, Ms. Mitra. Mitra is proud to have won the actor Vijay in a contest.
This girl from Cochin is new to Tamil film world although she has acted in six Malayalam films. She has also acted as a friend to Nayantara in a film called Body Guard which currently is remade in Tamil under the banner "Kaavalan". She is donning the same role in the tamil version too.
She never expected to act with Vijay in this role. Vijay has got thousands of fans in Kerala and also in the college where Mitra is studying now. She conveyed to the media that when actor Vijay's films are released in Chennai they are released on the same day in Kerala too and that is one reason she never misses watching any movie of this great actor.
She still can't believe that she is acting with her favorite hero and she feels it is a great opportunity to act with him. Her college mates are eagerly waiting to see this film. Many of her friends are curious to know if she is acting as a vamp in this movie. She assures that she is acting as the heroine Asin's friend although she will be deeply in love with the actor in this film. She would have a deep love for Vijay in her heart. She would like to convey this at the right time. She would avoid him to know her friend's love to him. By doing so she would make the hero in her possession.
She further adds that the climax after this will make her a vamp. Till that time Asin is not the heroine and she feels she is the heroine!!! Her favorite actors are superstar Rajni, Vijay, Kamal and Suriya."Let's wait and watch how this actress is received in this film world!

Room was conveniently located, was clean and quiet.
Missed a complimentary breakfast.
not much
We got a non smoking room but had to trudge through all the smoke in the hallway to get to it. By morning my allergies were full blown because of all the second hand smoke I went through. Also the bathroom was so small the door rubbed the toilet.
The whole stay
The sleep I had
The amount they wanted for the quality of the room. And our sink was plugged or something. Water would sit in the sink n slowly drain. They also tried to over change me on my credit card. Lucky I check my card a d found out the amount they over charged me by 70. The cleaning could be better.
helpful staff, late night check in, convenient to get to, housekeeping people were great,
Air conditioner didn't work! Bathroom door opened only partly ... stopped by replacement toilet ... bath fan not working properly ... coffee maker worked but it's impossible to pour without spilling from that design ... coffee left oil ring on every cup ...
the size of the rooms, the sliding doors. the comfort of the beds. I had to double up on blankets because they were thin.
I booked with this hotel because of the business center. The business center was not working and it actually cost me about $225.00 because of my inability to send the required documents to my employer. The sole purpose of me booking this room at Ramada was so I could complete my work. I had this same problem at the Ramada in Wyoming. I had even called beforehand to verify the business center was available and working.
nice beds
you giving away our room TV didn't work in the second room no towles Why pay for a room for two nights and have to go beg to get any room the second night
Location and price
Hot tub was too hot to sit in, floor was dirty. Shower in say a area was broken and sprayed everywhere and curtain for shower was torn. General sauna area not kept up
The staff there are very pleasant and courteous.The air conditioning in the room the room I was originally assigned didn't work. When I told the staff of the problem they quickly without fuss or hassle changed me to nearby room where the air conditioning worked just great. Thank you Cory!
The restaurant in the hotel...under separate management... had been shut down.
staff was good
toliet broke
The clerk was very kind, and we had a great stay.
It needs some updating and some tender love and care.
Back door opened towards car like motel
Cigarette smell. Cup just outside filled with butts. Interior very worn. Meth lab feel
Was fast
I the long hallways to get to the room
It was easy to get to from the freeway. The room was large and comfy, and the price was reasonable. I liked the fact that Ramada Inn had a satisfying continental breakfast and staff were quite nice.
I would have liked an indoor pool.
comfort bed,10 percent discount to the steakhouse in the area, super walmart and a lot of fast food restaurant
carpet is too dirty,air-conditioner is too noisy
Comfortable beds. Nice air conditioning.
Pool closing at 10:00pm. That was too early for us. Paying for breakfast. Not enough electrical outlets
bathroom hadn't seemed to be cleaned not what one awaits from the brand Ramada
It was an older hotel and it smelled of stail smoke. There were not many travellers there yet they couldn't find two rooms together. The carpets were dirty. And the wifi was super slow
The rooms were supposed to be non-smoking but smelled like an ashtray. We bought air freshener to spray the rooms with because they were so bad. The carpet felt sticky so we wore our shoes while there. It was not a good experience and we will not be back.
was very clean
missed the continental breakfast
I liked the early morning clerk. He was very nice and funny
I didn't like the fact I had to pay a $75 deposit in order to pay with cash. I have always felt the name Ramada meant luxery, well this Ramada was no better then a dirty motel 6. The carpets had crusty food stuck the to the floor. The toilet had stains in it. When you opened the bathroom door it was only a half inch from hitting the toilet. I was very disappointed.
The toilets were dirty,and we ran out of hot water for a shower. The rooms were not very clean and smelled old and musty.
It was very dirty - toilet bowl dirty, splatter of something on the walls, felt like pizza sauce on the door handle, damaged artwork nearly falling out of the frame and everything was dusty.
We reserved 3 rooms all bedding had hairs all over blankets and in one of the rooms the carpet was flooded of water from the sprinkle system outside the glass door, water was coming in from the glass doors. We called front desk to change the bedding, never heard back from them that night, we complained at check out and the front desk said they would notify their housekeeping department. We will never book again with Ramada Inn Pocatello, horrible experience and costumer service.
The price is good, location is really closed to the exits in the freeway.
The place was duty,fan in the bathroom don't work,old bulky tv, carpet with stains all over the place and gums stick on the bed sheets, holes and paper coming off in the walls, place is in bad shape and the young employees in the front counter don't have a idea how to handle complaints or give a good constumber service.

MACRO inaugurates the entrance to its new wing with a site specific installation by Jacob Hashimoto. Silence Still Governs Our Consciousness creates a floating realm which anticipates the journey from MACRO's present to its future. Hashimoto conceived this "cloud of 7000 kites" specifically for MACRO's new exhibition gallery. The work fills the room like a "diaphanous canopy" evoking in its spectators the sensation of being "surrounded by a mist filled forest of kites and strings - a quiet, meditative, sculptural environment." The piece synthesizes nature and technology to yield a fluid and organic landscape. This encourages meditation and evokes new readings of the gallery: as a void, as space, or as time.
Selected Installations
Macro Rome Contemporary Art Museum 2010Silence Still Governs Our Consciousness
Palazzo Fortuny: In-Finitum 2009Superabundant Atmosphere
The Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia and the Vervoordt Foundation announce In-finitum, taking place in the Palazzo Fortuny in Venice from 6 June until 15 November, 2009. With In-finitum, the trilogy which started with Artempo: Where Time Becomes Art (Venice, 2007) and continued with Academia: Qui es-tu? (Paris, 2008) will come full circle. Once again set in the magnificent surroundings of the Palazzo Fortuny, In-finitum will guide the visitor from the soul of the unfinished to the border of the infinite, a spiritual journey along works of art abundant with energy. The trilogy as conceived by Axel Vervoordt establishes a perfect balance through the natural time-flow between its three chapters. Artempo: Where Time Becomes Art dealt with the beauty of passing time touching the world, with the mysteriousness of patina and the magical osmosis which exists where cosmos and matière interact. In Academia: Qui es-tu?, the transmission of knowledge and wisdom held center stage, a fixed focal point gently rocked however by the continuous perpetuum mobile of questions and answers. The finale, In-finitum, will traverse into the other realm as it reaches into the universe of the unfinished and the infinite.
Rice University Art Gallery 2005Superabundant Atmosphere
Superabundant Atmosphere, an installation by Jacob Hashimoto includes thousands of shimmering white "kites," each handmade from silk glued over a tied bamboo frame. During the installation process, Hashimoto and five assistants will string the kites together and suspend them from the gallery ceiling, creating an enormous sculptural cloud rising upward and outward from the rear of the gallery. Although Hashimoto makes use of traditional kite-making materials and techniques, the small kites that form his installations do not actually fly. Instead, they are the modular units that he multiplies and arranges into structures that, while monumental in scale, appear to be weightless. As the light that streams through the gallery's front window changes throughout the day, so too, will the appearance of Superabundant Atmosphere. Sometimes the installation will seem buoyant and ethereal, while at other times it will appear to be a solid mass. In any guise, Hashimoto intends for Superabundant Atmosphere to convey a sense of wonder and playfulness, as visitors encounter, walk around, and react to its presence.

Education centre > Teacher Capacity Building: Skills Development through Environmental Education
Teacher Capacity Building: Skills Development through Environmental Education
Contributed by Alexis Symonds, National Botanical Institute, Private Bag X101, Pretoria South Africa 0001
In its new education policy introduced in 1997, South Africa has adopted an outcomes based education approach. 'This is directly linked to democratisation and the resulting effort to address the political injustices of South Africa's past through the transformation of the national system of education and training' (Department of Environment Affairs and Tourism 1998). Environmental understanding and skills are, for the first time, prescribed as key outcomes in all eight learning areas of the South African school curriculum.
South Africa's most recent Government White Paper on Education and Training states that environmental education, '…involving an interdisciplinary, integrated and active approach to learning, must be a vital element of all levels and programmes of the education and training system, in order to create environmentally literate and active citizens to ensure that all South Africans, present and future, enjoy a decent quality of life through the sustainable use of resources' (Department of Education 1995).
In addition to the above, teacher education has been described by UNESCO as '…the priority of priorities…' in environmental education (UNESCO 1990). Despite the emphasis on environmental education, many provincial education departments do not have the expertise or funds to run development programmes to support teachers with environmental education.
The National Botanical Institute (NBI) is one of many parastatal and non-governmental organisations with an interest in environmental education to provide resources for teachers and learners. Our Teacher Capacity Building: Skills Development through Environmental Education Workshops are one such initiative. This is a two-year project administered and facilitated by the NBI and funded by the South African National Commission for UNESCO.
Scope of the Project
The project caters for teachers (210 primary and high school) over a two-year period. The schools participating in the first year were selected with the assistance of the provincial education department and came mostly from under-resourced schools in township areas close to the NBI's Pretoria and Witwatersrand National Botanical Gardens. Teachers selected to join the project were requested to sign an agreement committing themselves to three workshops, a weekend field trip and a number of tasks and assignments. The principal of each school was asked to sign the same document as a pledge of support.
Aims and Objectives
The aims and expected outcomes of the project were identified jointly by the teachers, the education department officials and the NBI staff at the first workshop. These were to:
An Issues-Based Approach
In our workshops we tried to move away from the traditionally held view that environmental education refers purely to the physical environment, to a view that links social, political and economic processes to natural systems. We initiated an issues-based approach in an attempt to deal with issues identified as important in the daily lives of the learners and also to encourage teachers to look beyond the confines of the classroom for teaching and learning resources and experiences.
Examples of some of the issues identified in the schools:
Workshopping the Issues
After the teachers had identified and submitted their issues, resource materials were collected from as many sources as possible. For issues such as vandalism and drug abuse, where we lacked expertise, we entered into partnerships with organisations or individuals that provided relevant literature and facilitated small working group sessions with the teachers. The teachers had the opportunity to discuss and workshop their issues and were introduced to many different types of resources. A list of addresses and service providers that produce inexpensive resource material suitable for future use in the classroom was drawn up.
Lesson Plans and Activities
The lesson planning phase was complicated by the fact that only a small number of teachers attending the workshops had received prior training in outcomes-based education. To build teacher confidence, we embarked on a step-by-step approach to lesson planning in the outcomes-based way, using the issues identified as the unifying theme.
At least 50% of the teachers successfully developed and trialled lessons based on their issues. Most of them reported that their lessons had been successful while some came back for advice on aspects such as assessment and the facilitation of group work.
In a number of schools, the teachers and learners initiated long-term actions or projects that have not only improved the quality of life of the learners at the school but have also impacted positively on the community surrounding the school.
Phatudi Primary School, for example, was concerned about the unhygienic conditions created by poor sanitation at the school. In Maths the learners determined the ratio of toilets to users and the cost of maintenance of blocked toilets. In Life Skills they looked at personal hygiene and contagious diseases. In Language classes they wrote letters to the education authorities using the data collected to motivate for renovations to the toilet block. In Art they made posters to create an awareness of health issues. The school has raised funds and obtained the necessary support from the education authorities to have the toilet blocks extended and renovated while the learners monitor the state of hygiene and cleanliness.
Limiting Factors
Outcomes-based Education Training
We understood from the outset that although our focus was environmental education, the vehicle would of necessity be outcomes-based education. However, we did not anticipate that teachers would have had no previous experience or training in outcomes-based education. The result was that we spent a great deal of time introducing teachers to outcomes-based education before we could embark on our core business.
We intend overcoming this problem in the new year by targeting only Grade 7 teachers as they would all have undergone training in outcomes-based education. We believe that in this way we will have more time to focus on environmental issues and the development of learning programmes around them.
Drop Out Rate
Although we were disappointed at losing half our teachers along the way, we have learnt that other organisations have had the same experience. This situation was exacerbated by difficulties experienced with public transport in certain areas. Disagreements between minibus taxi operators resulted in violence in some areas and made the use of public transport to and from workshops unsafe. The threat of country-wide teacher strikes created uncertainty and resulted in workshops being repeatedly postponed.
Banareng Primary School - A Case Study
Banareng Primary School serves the informal settlement in the Attridgeville township about 30 km from the Pretoria National Botanical Garden. At the start of the workshop series, Banareng identified the lack of a vegetable garden at their school as their environmental problem. They pointed out that the chief causes were a lack of water and funds coupled with community indifference and inactivity. Their learners were hungry and unable to concentrate sufficiently to benefit from the education offered.
The first workshop introduced Banareng to an approach which enabled them to analyse their issue, break it down into manageable parts and start looking for solutions to the problems. The Food Gardens Foundation was approached for assistance and training and a committee of teachers, learners, community organisations and parents was formed. The principal of the school, Paulina Sithole, was so inspired by the training received from the Food Gardens Foundation that she was able to motivate her staff, the learners and their parents to start a vegetable garden. The garden now provides 520 children with a midday meal, prepared, cooked and served by women from the community.
As the principal, Mrs Sithole, says proudly: 'We are feeding the child that is hungry, the community that is hungry and thereby feeding the nation. The nation shall never be hungry again, we empower people by teaching them sustainable food gardening to overcome malnutrition and hunger.'
The learners benefit directly from the project in that an attempt is being made to address the negative effects of malnutrition on their concentration and academic progress. It is also anticipated that absenteeism will be reduced as learners begin to feel the effect of a healthier diet.
The project has brought a number of additional benefits to the school and strengthened the relationship between the school and the community in the following ways:
As part of the NBI/UNESCO workshop process, the teachers have developed integrated natural science and mathematics lessons using the garden as a teaching and learning resource. Further collaboration between NBI education staff and the teachers is planned to extend the scope of the existing activities and to facilitate activities covering other learning areas.
In South Africa, the integration of environment into all learning areas in the formal school curriculum provides a unique opportunity for environmental practitioners and teachers to form partnerships that explore environmental education within the context of human influences.
During our workshops the above process was facilitated by adopting an issues-based approach. This provided the opportunity to examine political structures, culture and social equality as well as natural processes and systems in an integrated, practical and useful way.
In addition to the above, the workshop process created the opportunity for capacity building, empowerment and participation, which are important stepping stones in helping to reorientate teachers towards a sustainable and just view of the environment.

Matthew Lamonaca Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings, on May 5, 2010, before Senior U.S. District Judge Jack D. Shanstrom, MATTHEW LAMONACA, age 31, appeared for sentencing. LAMONACA was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 20 months
- Special Assessment: $100
- Supervised Release: 4 years
LAMONACA was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to possession with the intent to distribute cocaine.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph E. Thaggard, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On September 8, 2008, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents surveilled LAMONACA at a Self Storage following a suspected drug deal. Follow up on the storage unit showed LAMONACA had a gun safe in the unit he was renting.
On September 9, 2008, DEA agents received a federal search warrant for LAMONACA's residence. During that search, keys to a storage facility lock were seized.
When interviewed, LAMONACA provided consent to search the safe he maintained in his storage locker. He stated that the agents would find approximately 1 pound of cocaine, a scale, bong and other miscellaneous drug paraphernalia in the safe.
On September 12, 2008, a black Centurion safe by Liberty was searched and the following were seized:
On October 24, 2008, the white powder substances were tested by the DEA laboratory and a detectable amount of the substance (77 grams) was positive for cocaine.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that LAMONACA will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, LAMONACA does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.
