Adapting Journalism to the Web
Thursday, April 5, 2012, 5 p.m.
About: New communications technologies are revolutionizing our experience of news and information. The avalanche of news, gossip, and citizen reporting available on the web is immensely valuable but also often deeply unreliable. How can professional reporters and editors help to assure that quality journalism will be recognized and valued in our brave new digital world?
Featuring: Jay Rosen is director of NYU's Studio 20 and Ethan Zuckerman, director of the Center for Civic Media at MIT.
Location: MIT, 633-E14, Media Lab

In the News
Global Censorship Update
IRAN: Iranian Food Critic Beats Internet Censorship to Build Social Following
There are more than 17 million Facebook users in Iran, but the site is banned throughout the country. Iran also bans its citizens from accessing Twitter and YouTube. Even so, people are finding a way around the censorship with the help of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and online proxies that work around the system. Iranian food critic Mr. Taster - who has a large Facebook following - discussed during the 2012 Reykjavik Internet Marketing Conference in Iceland how he is excelling at building a personal brand on Facebook, despite the country's restrictions to keep people off social media sites. (Mashable, 3/15)
MOROCCO: Jail terms for king's online critics upheld on appeal
Reporters Without Borders is appalled that an appeal court in Salé (a city near Rabat) yesterday added six months to the one-year jail sentence that 18-year-old student Walid Bahomane received last month on a charge of "attacking the nation's sacred values" for posting content on Facebook making fun of the king. (Reporters Without Borders, 3/28)
PAKISTAN: Pakistan Reverses Course for National Internet Filtering and Blocking System

First, we'll cover some of basic concepts. (Safer Mobile, 3/30)

While smartphones can make a significant and positive impact on those who embrace the technology, conversely the technology can wreak havoc on its users if they are complacent, careless or re-active to the ever expanding number of security threats. (Net Security, 3/20)

Journalism.co.uk has asked five tech-savvy journalists about their favourite tools. Here are their answers in no particular order. (Journalism.co.uk, 3/26)

Digital Media in the Middle East
Digital Media in the Arab World One Year After the Revolutions
This report describes and analyzes the enabling of tens of millions of individuals-as well as established news outlets-to attract wide global followings with Facebook and Twitter updates and YouTube videos about rapidly changing events. The widely diverse and pluralistic online communities in the Arab world are creating and sharing content, casting into question the future of the many state-owned or self-censored media that provide less in the way of engagement that Arab audiences have come to expect. (CIMA, March 2012)
The Arab Spring's Online Backlash
A BILL on "information-technology crimes" with extraordinarily broad wording and harsh punishments is due to come before Iraq's parliament in April, once the dignitaries and television cameras at this week's Arab League summit in Baghdad have departed. The bill is one of four proposed laws that could severely restrict basic freedoms. (The Economist, 3/29)
New Languages Democratising Social Media in the Middle East

SYRIA: Cutting-Edge Crowdmap Traces Sexualized Violence in Syria
The Women's Media Center project Women Under Siege has begun a pioneering initiative to map personal experiences and secondhand reports of sexualized violence in Syria. Using crowdsourcing technology from Ushahidi, WomenUnderSiegeSyria.crowdmap.com is able to collect the egregiously untold evidence of sexual assaults in real time as the crisis rages-before much of it is lost to shame and silence, as has happened too often during and after armed conflict. (Women's Media Center, 3/28)
TUNISIA: Tunisia's youth and their fight for the freedom of expression
In Tunisia, a new debate is taking shape. Long suppressed by the authoritarian regime of former President Zine el Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia's free expression movement for many years existed on the fringe, comprised of bloggers, software developers, media aficionados and expats whose frustration at Tunisia's Internet censorship and surveillance regime - in place for over a decade - fomented their activism. (Global Experts, 3/28)

CHINA: China Continues to Add 30M Broadband Subscribers Per Year
China continues to add broadband subscribers at a rate of about 30M per year. MIIT puts the January growth at 2.5M to a total of 152.5M. Of those, about 1.5M were DSL. They don't release fiber counts, but Jeff Heynen of Infonetics is reporting tens of millions of lines of fiber gear are in the pipeline. China has been consistently at 2-3M net adds per month. (CircleID, 3/29)
CUBA: Dissident Cuban Blogger Sees Opportunity in Pope Visit

MALI: With coup, #Mali generates noise on Twitter
On Tuesday, while reporting on breaking news in Mali from studios in Atlanta, CNN Wire Newsdesk Editor Faith Karimi made an ominous observation that presaged the outcome of developments unfolding 5,000 miles away. "#Mali president @PresidenceMali has not tweeted in 10 hours after reports of gunfire and a coup attempt," she tweeted. Earlier - as a mutiny by army soldiers over President Amadou Toumani Touré's handling of a conflict with separatist ethnic Tuareg rebels gained momentum in the Malian capital Bamako - the president's Twitter account had been quick to dismiss reports of trouble.

FrontlineSMS software is designed to be accessible and easy to use 'straight out of the box' without the need for expert technical support. That said, when getting started with using a new piece of software we know how helpful it can be to have some guidance. (FrontlineSMS, 3/27)
New Resource: Using SMS as an Effective Behavior Change Campaigning Tool
Behavior change campaigning is inherently interactive. In order to encourage positive behavior change it is important to not only push campaign messages out to people, but to listen to the responses. To run a campaign which has a real impact, you need to listen to ensure you're being heard. This is one of the main reasons why SMS - as a widely accessible and inherently interactive communications channel - is an ideal tool for campaigning. (FrontlineSMS, 3/1)
Around the Blogosphere
Is Social Media a Fad? Students Are Beginning to Wonder
This week I've been speaking to classes at Central Michigan University about social media and how it relates to mass communications and journalism. At the end of my lecture, I took questions from the audience. A recurring theme among the students has been a level of skepticism that social media is here to stay, or if it will fade out and be replaced with something else. (10,000 Words, 3/22)
How has social media changed the news?
It's a question so big that it's almost impossible to answer, but it's one that a panel at the Social Media World Forum tried to get their teeth into today. (Editors Weblog, 3/28)
IRAN: "We Love You Iranians" campaign on Facebook: War in the Age of Cat Videos
Last night, while I was flipping through Facebook looking for examples of the recent meme where Israeli citizens post the message: "Iranians. We will never bomb your country. We ::heart:: you" over their pictures, I noticed a tweet from fellow academic Katy Pearce, who speaks Armenian, about how the word "pisi" means cat in Turkish, Farsi, Armenian and Azerbaijani. I responded that in Turkish, it was mostly used in baby talk, or to call out to cats: "come here pisi, pisi." (Technosociology, 3/20)
PAKISTAN: How Social Media is Shaping Debate in Pakistan
Historically, Pakistani governments have been known for limiting access to information by their citizens. However with the emergence of social media, the situation is changing. Social media activists are becoming vocal and spreading information that was otherwise impossible to publish in the traditional forms. (CIPE Development Blog, 3/27)
PAKISTAN: Spotlight on Pakistani Journalist Malik Siraj Akbar
Somewhere among rocky hills and dusty towns, where the scent of juniper wafts through the springtime air or snow grips the land with a cold, wintry hand, a 13-year-old-boy once sat writing stories for children's magazines. His town was near the Iranian border in Balochistan, Pakistan's largest province. (CIMA Media Blog, 3/26)

(PBS Mediashift, 3/26)

I have lived and breathed the modern technology Ecosystem of Silicon Valley for the last 7 years- it's a well-oiled machine that keeps on producing innovations that impact the world. In the last few years, we have started to see the culture start to spread across the world. (Afrinnovator, 3/26)
The Pros and Cons of Cyber-English
Social networking, texting, email and digital messages have borrowed the keys to the English language and are joy-riding all over the landscape, smashing body panels and junking up the fancy interior. Many thoughtful people are worried. But it's good for English to get shaken up occasionally-by people who are using it in new ways, not by academics ordaining from on high. (Wall Street Journal, 3/26)
Info somewhat freer in parts of world, panelists report
Even as some countries scramble to clamp controls on the Internet, the picture is bright for freedom of information in many places across the globe, experts said March 16 during the 14th annual National Freedom of Information Day Conference. (First Amendment Center, 3/19)
First European-wide Youth Media Trend Report
Young people are attached to their mobile phones... But do they still use landlines? Is online television as popular as 'regular' television? What is the most popular games console among today's young people across Europe? And what are the biggest differences between European countries in terms of how they use media today? The answers to these questions - and more - can be found in the first European-wide Youth Media TrendReport (2010-2011), which was commissioned by ECF's Youth & Media Programme. (European Cultural Foundation, March 2012)

"I don't know if this recipe works in an older oven or what. I followed the recipe EXACTLY as instructed and ended up with raw meat, except for the ends. I liked the idea of it cooking as the temperature went down. I used 5.47 lbs and kept it in for the time suggested. The taste on the end pieces were great, however we had to put the roast back in..."

Hell all, I have a TAKASHIMA BONSAI and it was doing great for about a month after I purchased it. It went from GREEN to crispy GREEN leaves overnight about 2 weeks back. The only thing I can think of is maybe I fed it too much fertilizer? It gets around 12-14 hours a day of sunlight, never direct sunlight except MAYBE early morning for a little while. Other than that, always in shade. Water it once a day until water comes out of bottom into humidity tray. When I can, I will leave it outside on the nice days in shade to get fresh air. I BABY this plant! Any thoughts? |

what type of soil is it in? is it just lave rocks? if so then you may have really burned it with the fertilizer - they dont need much. It looks like those upper roots are really dry - also sometimes water can run right through if it is all rock and never get enough root saturation |

He loves running and playing with toys and other dogs, but his favorite thing to do is snuggle with his brother and his human family!

Other Pets at LL Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Hoops, a Shawnee Mission Chihuahua puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Shawnee Mission, or seeking a Chihuahua puppy from a breeder in Shawnee Mission.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Shawnee Mission already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Shawnee Mission breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Shawnee Mission paves the way for another one to be saved.

New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now Samuel died; and all Israel assembled and mourned for him. They buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David got up and went down to the wilderness of Paran. | 1 Now Samuel died, and all Israel assembled and mourned for him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David moved down into the Desert of Maon. |
2 There was a man in Maon, whose property was in Carmel. The man was very rich; he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. He was shearing his sheep in Carmel. | 2 A certain man in Maon, who had property there at Carmel, was very wealthy. He had a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing in Carmel. |
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. The woman was clever and beautiful, but the man was surly and mean; he was a Calebite. | 3 His name was Nabal and his wife's name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was surly and mean in his dealings. |
4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep. | 4 While David was in the desert, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep. |
5 So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name. | 5 So he sent ten young men and said to them, "Go up to Nabal at Carmel and greet him in my name. |
6 Thus you shall salute him: "Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have. | 6 Say to him: 'Long life to you! Good health to you and your household! And good health to all that is yours! |
7 I hear that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing, all the time they were in Carmel. | 7 " 'Now I hear that it is sheep-shearing time. When your shepherds were with us, we did not mistreat them, and the whole time they were at Carmel nothing of theirs was missing. |
8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your sight; for we have come on a feast day. Please give whatever you have at hand to your servants and to your son David.' " | 8 Ask your own servants and they will tell you. Therefore be favorable toward my young men, since we come at a festive time. Please give your servants and your son David whatever you can find for them.' " |
9 When David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal in the name of David; and then they waited. | 9 When David's men arrived, they gave Nabal this message in David's name. Then they waited. |
10 But Nabal answered David's servants, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants today who are breaking away from their masters. | 10 Nabal answered David's servants, "Who is this David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants are breaking away from their masters these days. |
11 Shall I take my bread and my water and the meat that I have butchered for my shearers, and give it to men who come from I do not know where?" | 11 Why should I take my bread and water, and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men coming from who knows where?" |
12 So David's young men turned away, and came back and told him all this. | 12 David's men turned around and went back. When they arrived, they reported every word. |
13 David said to his men, "Every man strap on his sword!" And every one of them strapped on his sword; David also strapped on his sword; and about four hundred men went up after David, while two hundred remained with the baggage. | 13 David said to his men, "Put on your swords!" So they put on their swords, and David put on his. About four hundred men went up with David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies. |
14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, "David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he shouted insults at them. | 14 One of the servants told Nabal's wife Abigail: "David sent messengers from the desert to give our master his greetings, but he hurled insults at them. |
15 Yet the men were very good to us, and we suffered no harm, and we never missed anything when we were in the fields, as long as we were with them; | 15 Yet these men were very good to us. They did not mistreat us, and the whole time we were out in the fields near them nothing was missing. |
16 they were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. | 16 Night and day they were a wall around us all the time we were herding our sheep near them. |
17 Now therefore know this and consider what you should do; for evil has been decided against our master and against all his house; he is so ill-natured that no one can speak to him." | 17 Now think it over and see what you can do, because disaster is hanging over our master and his whole household. He is such a wicked man that no one can talk to him." |
18 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves, two skins of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs. She loaded them on donkeys | 18 Abigail lost no time. She took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five dressed sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred cakes of raisins and two hundred cakes of pressed figs, and loaded them on donkeys. |
19 and said to her young men, "Go on ahead of me; I am coming after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal. | 19 Then she told her servants, "Go on ahead; I'll follow you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal. |
20 As she rode on the donkey and came down under cover of the mountain, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them. | 20 As she came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, there were David and his men descending toward her, and she met them. |
21 Now David had said, "Surely it was in vain that I protected all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; but he has returned me evil for good. | 21 David had just said, "It's been useless--all my watching over this fellow's property in the desert so that nothing of his was missing. He has paid me back evil for good. |
22 God do so to David and more also, if by morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him." | 22 May God deal with David, be it ever so severely, if by morning I leave alive one male of all who belong to him!" |
23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried and alighted from the donkey, and fell before David on her face, bowing to the ground. | 23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and bowed down before David with her face to the ground. |
24 She fell at his feet and said, "Upon me alone, my lord, be the guilt; please let your servant speak in your ears, and hear the words of your servant. | 24 She fell at his feet and said: "My lord, let the blame be on me alone. Please let your servant speak to you; hear what your servant has to say. |
25 My lord, do not take seriously this ill-natured fellow, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent. | 25 May my lord pay no attention to that wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name--his name is Fool, and folly goes with him. But as for me, your servant, I did not see the men my master sent. |
26 "Now then, my lord, as the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, since the Lord has restrained you from bloodguilt and from taking vengeance with your own hand, now let your enemies and those who seek to do evil to my lord be like Nabal. | 26 "Now since the LORD has kept you, my master, from bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hands, as surely as the LORD lives and as you live, may your enemies and all who intend to harm my master be like Nabal. |
27 And now let this present that your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord. | 27 And let this gift, which your servant has brought to my master, be given to the men who follow you. |
28 Please forgive the trespass of your servant; for the Lord will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the Lord; and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live. | 28 Please forgive your servant's offense, for the LORD will certainly make a lasting dynasty for my master, because he fights the LORD's battles. Let no wrongdoing be found in you as long as you live. |
29 If anyone should rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living under the care of the Lord your God; but the lives of your enemies he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling. | 29 Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life, the life of my master will be bound securely in the bundle of the living by the LORD your God. But the lives of your enemies he will hurl away as from the pocket of a sling. |
30 When the Lord has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince over Israel, | 30 When the LORD has done for my master every good thing he promised concerning him and has appointed him leader over Israel, |
31 my lord shall have no cause of grief, or pangs of conscience, for having shed blood without cause or for having saved himself. And when the Lord has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant." | 31 my master will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself. And when the LORD has brought my master success, remember your servant." |
32 David said to Abigail, "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me today! | 32 David said to Abigail, "Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who has sent you today to meet me. |
33 Blessed be your good sense, and blessed be you, who have kept me today from bloodguilt and from avenging myself by my own hand! | 33 May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping me from bloodshed this day and from avenging myself with my own hands. |
34 For as surely as the Lord the God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, truly by morning there would not have been left to Nabal so much as one male." | 34 Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has kept me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, not one male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by daybreak." |
35 Then David received from her hand what she had brought him; he said to her, "Go up to your house in peace; see, I have heeded your voice, and I have granted your petition." | 35 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him and said, "Go home in peace. I have heard your words and granted your request." |
36 Abigail came to Nabal; he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; so she told him nothing at all until the morning light. | 36 When Abigail went to Nabal, he was in the house holding a banquet like that of a king. He was in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing until daybreak. |
37 In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him; he became like a stone. | 37 Then in the morning, when Nabal was sober, his wife told him all these things, and his heart failed him and he became like a stone. |
38 About ten days later the Lord struck Nabal, and he died. | 38 About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal and he died. |
39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the Lord who has judged the case of Nabal's insult to me, and has kept back his servant from evil; the Lord has returned the evildoing of Nabal upon his own head." Then David sent and wooed Abigail, to make her his wife. | 39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Praise be to the LORD, who has upheld my cause against Nabal for treating me with contempt. He has kept his servant from doing wrong and has brought Nabal's wrongdoing down on his own head." Then David sent word to Abigail, asking her to become his wife. |
40 When David's servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her, "David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife." | 40 His servants went to Carmel and said to Abigail, "David has sent us to you to take you to become his wife." |
41 She rose and bowed down, with her face to the ground, and said, "Your servant is a slave to wash the feet of the servants of my lord." | 41 She bowed down with her face to the ground and said, "Here is your maidservant, ready to serve you and wash the feet of my master's servants." |
42 Abigail got up hurriedly and rode away on a donkey; her five maids attended her. She went after the messengers of David and became his wife. | 42 Abigail quickly got on a donkey and, attended by her five maids, went with David's messengers and became his wife. |
43 David also married Ahinoam of Jezreel; both of them became his wives. | 43 David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they both were his wives. |
44 Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Palti son of Laish, who was from Gallim. | 44 But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Paltiel son of Laish, who was from Gallim. |

"It's not what you do; it's why you do it" : Green Economy Leadership Training Week 1
Posted by Brandon Knight in Building Positive Alternatives, Guest Posts on 10th June, 2011 | No Comments
Written by Cory Connolly, aka, "the Finisher" Why is it that the green economy, in many ways, remains intangible? Why must those who are passionate about people and the environment choose between doing what they want and between living comfortably? What does a green economy look like in the country's most devastated communities?

We welcome and encourage members of the local, regional and national media to visit our University to cover campus events and to pursue other timely stories of interest. Just as public access to information is important, we seek to balance this with our educational mission to carry out good teaching and research with limited disruptions; maintain the safety and well-being of members of the Franklin Pierce University community and visitors at all times; protect the privacy of students who live and learn on our campus, as well as the privacy of faculty, staff and administrators; and ensure the privacy of academic, personnel and other records as required by state and federal law.
The University requires all members of the news media to contact the University's Office of Communication before visiting campus to engage in interviews or gather other information for a story. In the event of a developing after-hours news story, members of the press are asked to check in with the Department of Campus Safety in the St. Peters Building, and should be able to produce valid press credentials, prior to parking on campus.
Under no circumstances will photography be permitted inside residence halls, dining halls or classrooms without receiving prior permission from the Office of Communication 603-899-4221.
All visitors and guests are required to check in when arriving on campus, but don't need to do so when attending an event open to the public, and the same is true for media. For any event where a news release has been issued by the University——such as a sporting event or artistic performance— there is no reason to contact anyone prior to arriving on campus to cover the event, though news reporters are asked to identify themselves and their respective news outlet, when attending these events on campus and engaging in interviews with students, staff and others.

Blocking a fire hydrant is against the law, in case that is not clear to anyone. As I was exiting our housing tract, I noticed that the owner of the house at the corner of the entrance had once again parked his large SUV (is that redundant?) in front the fire hydrant in front of his house. It is not possible for the truck to be there without either blocking the hydrant or blocking the driveway, both of which are against the law in this city.
I thought about calling the police to report this, since the truck is parked there at least once a week. Some weekends it is there for 3 days. My first thought was that if the neighbors around them don't complain, why should I. My house is not at risk, theirs' are. However, too often we don't do things because we think, or hope, someone else will. That way we are not the snitch or inconvenienced by all of the hassle that goes with reporting a crime.
As I was about to call in this infraction, I noticed that I was going "above" the speed limit in remote stretch of road. It made me think about something I wrote in Chapter 2 of Maps for Modern Magellans: Charts for Captains of Commerce -"Mind Your Own Business" in which I use Kipling's 6 serving men to encourage a lot of questioning. One of the questions is: "What is Negotiable?"...
Different people have a different sense of what they will or will not compromise; in other words, the rules that they are more willing to bend and how far they will go. The "What is Negotiable Target" represents the range things open for discussion. Rules, laws, or behaviors at the center are unchangeable. We all cheat a little on speed laws. When people take greater liberties the question is then one of intent or disregard.
Did the people, or person, who approved the use of lead paint on toys do so intentionally? Was it just a rule that was not that important to keep? The workers who "soil" vegetables with human waste - are they careless or willfully endangering lives? The accountant who takes a little extra from clients - disregard or criminal conduct? Is it different?
Seth Godin recently wrote about a Home Depot center where they posted a sign - Saw not working - because they did not want to be bothered. It was not a lie. They did not say "Saw Broken" but it was still dishonest. Often our rationalization is based on a feeling that the rule is not important. Is that really true? Alternatively, is it a case of our feeling that we are more important and so we do not need to obey this particular rule?
This map makes for a very useful exercise: The center is where you place the 100% non-negotiable. Moving away from the center, you put those things that are increasingly negotiable. When you reach the edge, you are at the range of things that you not only do not care about, but things that are probably disregarded.
There will be subtle differences between the things that absolutely cannot be compromised and what can be compromised. Deciding what can and cannot be placed in the center, the most non-negotiable things, will say a lot about you and, if you use this in a corporate setting, what is important to the company.
Try this exercise with your family, team, new hires, and potential hires. The exact center is 100% non-negotiable and it will actually be fairly empty. The next ring is 75%, then 50%, then 25%, and the outside represents those things that are completely negotiable. Ask people where they would place various things such as rules, integrity, and so on. If their placement does not agree with your placement, there may be a problem to resolve. Someone who considers payroll taxes highly negotiable may not be the safest person to have as a CFO. Wearing a hard hat on a construction site might be negotiable to some but the liability issues should make that a 100% non-negotiable item.
Before we go about casting stones - it is a useful thing to check our moral compass. Jon M. Huntsman, a very successful entrepreneur, chairman and founder of Huntsman Corporation, and father of the current Governor of Utah, wrote a book, a very easy read: "Winners Never Cheat". In this book Huntsman describes how easy it is for little things to become big things. That the little violations we allow teach others that they can have bigger violations without penalty. Parents who abused drugs as teenagers have a hard time reprimanding their children for the same issue even though they now know how harmful they can be.
How far have we allowed behaviors to drift from the center? Look at how many athletes want to excuse Michael Vick - "He's such a gifted man" Do we regularly reinforce the importance of rules in the workplace? Do we explain the reason for the rule and do we hold everyone to the same standard? If not, then that is the place to start.
What rules can be bent in your shop?

A former teen beauty queen who once appeared on ABC's hit reality TV show Wife Swap has been arrested for allegedly having sex for pay with a Rochester, N.Y., lawyer. Police say the attorney, 54-year-old James D. Doyle was found "slumped over asleep" in a Pembroke rest area on Monday with the 20-year-old Alicia Guastaferro in his car. Doyle, who for a time served on the Greece Town Board, has been convicted of DWI twice in the past. Now, he's charged with driving while intoxicated, patronizing a prostitute and unlawfully dealing with a child for giving alcohol to a minor. Guastaferro is charged with charged with criminal impersonation for having a fake ID, prostitution, and possession of a controlled substance. Doyle claims that he is a friend of Guastaferro's family and that there is nothing sexual between the two of them. Guastaferro, however, allegedly told police that Doyle pays her $500 to $700 for sex twice a month.
Guastaferro's mother was the wife 'swapped' on the family's 2008 reality TV debut; Guastaferro herself appeared as a bratty, spoiled teenager who spent much of her time wearing a tiara. In 2010, Guastaferro sued ABC for $100 million, claiming that the unfair representation of her on the show led to suicidal tendencies and depression.

I am doing a section of a formal bed in pale yellow, mauve, pink and coral - only one problem. Cant seem to find any coral roses - looked on helpmefind, no luck. The new JP rose Catalina looked in the catalog picture like it might work, but I just cant think of any coral colored roses.......any ideas? Thanks!

here you go, the results from an advanced search on HMF roses... Becky |
Here is a link that might be useful: coral ht's at HMF
Note: I tried searching all of the coral variations in one search (on HMF), but the advanced search got bogged down, telling me to reduce the search factors. So, I will post the results separately. |
Here is a link that might be useful: salmon-coral ht's at HMF
Here are some salmon-pink roses from HMF. I do recommend Color Magic. But I am not familiar with your zone. Color Magic did very well in my garden, although I gave it away because it was too coral toned for my garden!!! I get to see it at my neighbors though :-). Very substantial petals that held up well in the heat of summer and in the vase, HUGE blooms, and a very lovely coral pink color blend!!! I hope this helps. Becky |
Here is a link that might be useful: salmon-pink roses at HMF
In my climate a lot of the so-called "orange" roses are really coral. Tropicana and Folklore are a brighter coral, big healthy bushes with perfect bloom form. The little floribundas First Edition and Dickie are blooming fools and have lovely mounded shapes. The polyanthan Golden Salmon Superior blooms in big trusses of small blooms with white eyes. The old J&P floribunda, Cherish is coral pink, but is no where near as vigorous or productive as the others I've mentioned. A note, I love Color Magic, love it. It simply is so winter tender that it rarely thrives even in my climate. People actually do buy it and plant it as an annual because they love it so much. |
- Posted by diggerdave Montana 4/5 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 20, 08 at 8:26
First Edition is a blooming fool for us too. Brigadoon is my favorite in this color. We must live in the twight zone though. Color Magic has made it through 2 winters and is one of Deb's favorites. |
I have always loved Brigadoon colors. Honeysweet and Clementina Carbonieri. Darn, I need to arrange my pics. If I can find Honeysweet, I'll e-mail it. Carla |
'Tournament of Roses' is very nice. Helpmefind calls it pink, but it is more of a coral. |
First Edition and Dickie are the exact color I have in mind! Becky, I wasnt able to pull up the link on HMF. When I searched there, I wasnt able to come up with much - roses I had never heard of that werent the color I was looking for. Tivoli Gardens posted a photo a year or so ago that gave me the idea for this bed - lovely pastels, like an Easter basket - and a coral rose set the whole thing off. I am getting my rose order ready for Roses Unlimited - they have both of these....going to get them. Digger, I read your glowing comments on First Edition on helpmefind. I am sold! Judith |

Bill Warriner is nice and there are the climbers America and Dreamweaver. |
Alameda---this is very strange, because those HMF links worked last night after I posted them--- I checked!!! If still interested, you can do a special HMF search using the HT and color search as I did above. The color search for salmon-pink yielded the most selections (6 pages of roses, if I remember correctly!!!). Some familiar names, some not. A rose that I've seen (but not grown), is Comtesse de Provence (aka Liv Tyler)--VERY pretty!!! A light to med. coral color, feminine looking and great scent!!! Becky |

I grow the coral climber, America (a good rebloomer in my garden) and Salmon Impression. My Silver Jubilee has a coral tint to it also. |
Judih - I grow the Buck "Honeysweet" and it is a strong coral color. The rose is always in bloom and the blooms are large and hold their color very well. I haven't had much problem with BS either. I like this rose so much I havae two in my garden. Mixes well with pinks and yellows also. -t |
Mother's Rose, Spellbound, Ladybird Johnson are all beautiful. Good luck! |
"Gemini' blushes coral on the petal edges and is healthy and productive in my garden. It's one of my favorite hybrid tea roses: |
Here is a link that might be useful: Gemini
Touch of Class, Folklore, Paris de Yves St. Laurent are coral to my eyes in my zone 8 garden. Imperatrice Farah, Gemini have corals on the petals' edge. Waikiki is a bi-color coral with a lighter reverse but this rose is very blackspot prone. |

Hi Judith, Last year I bought an older floribunda called Spartan from Lowes and it was a gorgeous coral color! |
Julie......you wont believe this but I had a Spartan in my hand at Walmart today.....I didnt buy it because I wanted to look it up. I liked what I saw.....and back I go tomorrow to buy it. Becky.....I did go back to helpmefind and did as you suggested - lots of roses came up. I found one called Charm of Paris that is lovely, may order it. Its the right coral/salmon color I am looking for. Honeysweet is one I want - Chamblees was out when I went this weekend, but will have it later. I think it would look good in the bed I have planned. Am studying the other suggestions too......thanks so much, I was really at a blank when trying to come up with coral. Judith |
Sonia is a great bloomer. I used to have one but didn't like the color. Now I do. I got Anisley Dickson ( Dickie) last year and it was a great bloomer from day 1, and seems vigorous and healthy. It's a medium, not washed out coral and the blooms last pretty well. Liv Tyler ( Comtesse de Provence) is one of my favorites and is a strong grower, prolific bloomer and really beautiful. Linda |
- Posted by cypressmom z8b Tx (My Page) on Thu, Feb 21, 08 at 8:57
Oh, that is funny. I'm glad you're going back to get it. It is a lovely formed bush and has very full blooms. Almost like a DA rose. I need to check my WM. ~ Julie |
America is my favorite coral rose. Nancy Reagan is my favorite peach rose. |
America is one of my favorites, too. Just bought Nancy Reagan, looking forward to that first bloom. Bought Spartan today at Walmart....hope its not too orange but will be fun to see it bloom. First Edition and Anisley Dickson seem to be the color coral I was looking for, like sea coral beads....to match with the pastels in the new bed. Honeysweet is gorgeous, and might work there. Now if it would just stop raining so I can dig! Supposed to be nice Saturday, and I plan to spend the day in the yard - my SO is going fishing early, so no interruptions!! Judith |
- Posted by mike_in_new_orleans 9a/ coastal LA (My Page) on Fri, Feb 22, 08 at 23:55
I love America in the spring, and it's definitely "Coral." My problem with it is that I can't seem to keep it from losing most of its lower leaves by mid-summer. Might be the climate here, but I've heard others repeat the complaint. Great clove fragrance, though! I want to second Carla's recommendation of Brigadoon. What a terrific eye-catching rose! Really a blend, not a solid coral color, but if you're looking for overall coral "effect" I think it qualifies. Nobody's mentioned Artistry, that I noticed, anyway. An ARRS winner in the late 1990s, definitely coral orange, and easy to grow. Not much fragrance, but hey! it makes up for it by practically propagating itself. Mine actually sent up new sprouts from spreading roots (it was an own-root plant). Just so-so bloom form, though. |
- Posted by liane_z4_canada 4 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Feb 23, 08 at 6:18
My favorite with out a doubt is Folklore however it is a blend with a coral colour on the top of the petal and a butter yellow on the underside. I also liked America. Liane |

Judith, last year I bought two 'Sweet Promise' (a HT by Meilland, 2007). The blooms are old-fashioned, very full of petals and fragrant. It's foliage deserves a special notice: it is healthy, shiny and new leaves are of beautiful burgundy color. Marina |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sweet Promise @ HMF
Loved the photos of Sweet Promise! And found its sold by Teas Nursery - that calls for another trip to Houston. They also have Liv Tyler [Comtesse de Provence] also suggested, which looked enticing. Too tempting! Folklore is beautiful also....there are more coral choices than I thought! |
- Posted by puppyscruff 7/NC (My Page) on Thu, May 29, 08 at 10:21
I have an own-root Dicky also which is very vigorous. The color is quite rich and truly coral. I do not have 100% sun, so I would categorize this rose as disease resistant claire |
My fragrant cloud looks coral to me. My plant is very healthy and the smell is fantastic...... |

I have a climber that was called Coral Dawn when I bought it. It has gorgeous coral blooms and has grown up my deck. And survived some bad winters. |
Dickie is available at Roses Unlimited.....I feel an order coming on....I really like Countess Celeste also. These roses are going to go in a new formal bed I am planting.....really like this color. Like Artistry also.... Judith |

From the subject line, I though you had mistakenly posted on the wrong forum :-) What the heck are "water bulbs"?? If they are anything similar to the water retention polymer crystals. I wouldn't use them with a JM. In fact, I don't recommend them with any type of container planting other than hanging baskets. They just hold too much water in the soil and promote rots. Baskets, since they are so exposed to heat and wind, dry out so fast and the crystals seem to help to reduce watering to only a daily chore rather than 3-4 times a day. |

watering bulbs are those stakes that you put in your potted plants with the bulbs on the ends that are filled with water... the plant drinks when it needs it. |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 28, 07 at 13:12
I wouldn't waste my money. May be somewhat appropriate for smaller houseplants, but not anything I'd advocate for outdoor containerized plantings and certainly not something that needs the carefully watering attention of a containerized Japanese maple. It is far better to water less frequently but very thoroughly (so that water saturates the container medium and flows freely from the drainage holes) than to provide small amounts more frequently, or in the case of the water bulbs, ominpresently (or until they run out and you don't notice). |

ominpresently...Oh ya I do like that one GG... I will have to practice spelling it a bit to use it though ;>) OOOPS just checked it with aol spell check should be omnipresently actually they divide it into two words but I think it is correct as one ... I can tell ya spelling is not easy for a dyslexic ( had to look that one up too ;>) ) who never could spell and an old dislexic YIKES David |

Sorry about the typo :-) Yes, it is omnipresent or omnipresently. I do try to proof and edit before posting but I often miss something. Poor spelling and grammar is a bit of a pet peeve of mine so I try to be careful. Spellcheck won't work for me when signed on to GW. |
- Posted by myersphcf z6a IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Jun 28, 07 at 20:57
Yes it is one problem with most forums and feed back sites they should all have spell check ...if I am not sure I pull up my aol mail and type the word in the fake email and check it that way... of course if one word has two differnt meanings and spelled differntly then I am in a pickle the only time when it is supposdly acceptable is IM'ing...which is understandable since it is fast ...David |

Looking through the modules on the site Wheel and Deal looks interesting, but I've found that I can't stand to play without Soldier Tokens. Any suggestions on how to modify Military, I was thinking you roll 1d3 and add it to your total/subtract it from others' but is that too powerful?

You could submit two soldier tokens instead of one and choose which one to keep, or simply ignore the military option. All of the scenarios were made before the expansion came out so some tracks do tend to stand out in some scenarios.

I like that 2 soldier token idea, I'll go with that.

I am installing a sewage pump pit for a basement bathroom. The only vent connection I can attach to is 40 feet across the basement and up near the ceiling where the builder installed a capped cut in. Can I run a pitched pipe across that size run and up to the connection? A contractor I inquired with told me to vent it out the side of my house. Its a walk out basement so that vent would be at first floor level? I know its against code but would it work? I prefer to do the run across the basement wall behind an existing wall( it has a chase so I do not have to open any walls) and up to the builders cut in .Suggestions? |

Sewage ejectors are required to have a separate vent through the roof. The plumbing codes expressly prohibit connecting a sewage ejector vent to any existing vent in the DWV system. Due to the rapid change in volume inside the sealed receiver vessel when the pump is running it causes a negative air pressure in the vessel which can have very detrimental effect on normal venting. In addition, if a vent line is greater than 40' overall length the diameter must be increased by one nominal trade size for then entire length of the run. |
So can I cheat and run that pit vent out the wall to open air on the first floor? I know its not code but does it serve the purpose or will there not be enough air like a roof vent with the wind, etc? |
- Posted by lazypup (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Sep 20, 06 at 8:08
Venting sewer gasses is one area where it is never advisable to deviate from code standards. Sewer gas is primarily composed of Hydrogen sulfide, Methane, Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide, all of which are asphyxiants in relatively low doses. In addition hydrogen sulfide and methane are both highly flamable and potentially explosive at relatively low levels. To add further complication Hydrogen sulfide quickly paralyzes the bodies ability to detect the odor. Under the International Residential Code they will permit through the wall venting providing the point of termination is 7' above the terraine within 10' of the opening and it is a minimum of 10' horizontal from any door, window or other opening into the structure and the vent opening may not be below a vented soffit however. Through the wall vent openings must also be equipped with screens to prevent birds or insects from nesting in the pipe. (In most jurisdictions, even though they may permit side wall venting , they do not permit venting a sewage ejector through the wall). Personally, i would never risk venting a sewage ejector through the wall. |
"Personally, i would never risk venting a sewage ejector through the wall." Exactly. Code is designed to protect the occupants. Circumventing code can prove dangerous...and can even result in death. Case in point; the nightclub fire in Rhode Island a few years back...that killed 100 people...because the owners used cheap flammable foam for sound proofing on the walls...supposedly because they didn't "know" is was flammable....and, they wanted to save money. I'm sure those who did it would do anything now to turn back time, perform the proper due diligence in terms of finding out which material would be safe by consulting a licensed professional…… as opposed to perhaps an internet message board......and not be tempted to "cheat". yankee1, PLEASE consult your local code official for the proper and safe way in whcih to handle this....for your sake as well as those who may also live in the home. |

1993 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Pickup 2dr Regular Cab SB
Was my first love and first truck and the best I've ever had so far, I had to put a lot of work into it only because I drove the thing so hard, it was like the little engine that could it just kept going and going. It was a 4 cylinder 5 speed stick working heat and air when I got it the body was dent free but it had its share of rust, I wish that the brakes didn't go out on it and had a tragic death in a ugly accident but may it rest in peace.

My 1993 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Pickup has been a good truck. My mother bought it brand new. She gave it to me when I got back from training in the army. I drove it from Augusta, GA to Nashville, TN once and it performed fine. It's been a very good truck for the past twelve years. We've been keeping up on most repairs.

1993 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Pickup 2dr Regular Cab SB
I bought this truck 10 years ago and it
has been a workhorse. It was a basic
model: no ac, no power locks or
windows, no power steering, manual
transmission; it didn't even have a
radio or rear bumper! I added those.
But this Mighty Max has been the most
reliable of all the cars I've owned in
the past 10 years. Just needed the
usual new battery, alternator, tires,
brakes, etc. I've got 120k on it now,
and I don't plan to sell it. We use it
for hauling everything. Don't know
what we'd have done without it. It's
just now starting to show its age, but
I hope I can keep it at least another
five years. Great little truck!

RAEFORD — The start to the second-time through the Southeastern Conference wasn't much better than the first one for Richmond Senior.
ROCKINGHAM — There is no official name or nickname associated with it, but the second pass through the conference could be called the "Revenge Tour."

This puppy is almost 15 years old, but the question about that beautiful pearl edged mirror reminded me that I'd done this.
Mind you, this was pre-internet. I had no idea how to mosaic or tile or anything. I just got an idea and ran with it. I started with a pre-cut round of plywood (you can find them at Lowes and Home Depot). I painted the plywood gold and silver. A glass company cut the round center for me out of 1/4" mirror. They gave me scrap mirror for free to do the rest which I cut using plain old stained glass cutters. All the mirror was simply glued to the painted plywood. Instead of grouting, I piped clear silicone in the spaces, mostly to protect against the sharp edges. I edged the mirror with plain old copper tape you buy in the garden area for keeping slugs off your plants. I'm surprised at how well this has stood the test of time, since I seriously had no idea what I was doing. But it is a testament to indoor projects. They are far more forgiving than outdoor projects. You have much more freedom of techniques and materials when you don't have to worry about the elements. Hmmm, I'd love to do a new mirror now that I'm a little more seasoned. Add that to my loooong list of projects! LOL (Oh, and further proof of how clueless I was: I did this whole project at my dining room table....over carpet...with a toddler running around. Sheesh!) |

If you don't beat all!!!!!! LORI - it's a beautiful job and I bow to your ingenuity. I love the shapes of your mirror shards. You just jumped in and had an idea and ran with it. That's what's called talent and a creative mind. Congratulations. This reminds me of one of my first mirror projects. I was so afraid to grout all the shards that I used a cake decorator's bag to pipe in the grout around all the shards. It's been on my front porch these nine years. I used plywood too. Can't believe it hasn't fallen apart, but there's no evidence of harm YET. Hurray for newbies at mosaics. |
Aww, thanks, SLOW. I confess, I'm a little surprised it's held up so well after all these years. It's only a pain to clean the mirror, because that silicone still has a "stickiness" to it. You can't just run a paper towel all over it. And I'm a lot more daring with color than I used to be (as you can tell from the red wall, lol). In retrospect, I wish I'd done a vibrant purple instead of that gold and silver. Ah well. That's what the next project is for, LOL |

I LOVE red walls - have one myself - even have a purple one, and the rest are golds. Hey, you can still paint your mirror. Silicon is paintable, so why not??? But if you are like I am, you never go back to a project and do maintenance or a re-do. Onward and upward. |

Aww, thanks everyone. SLOW, yes, I'm much too impatient to go back and re-do something old. But it's good to know you can paint over silicone. I didn't know that! I should never say never. Some day, it will be old enough to "repurpose". LOL Calamity! |

CSULB's Geoscience Diversity Enhancement Project (GDEP) recently received a $1 million commitment from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The grant will support mentoring and outreach efforts to encourage students in ethnic groups underrepresented in the geosciences to pursue college degrees and careers in the fields of geology, physical geography and archaeology. Funding runs through 2011.
The new grant, referred to as GDEP Track 2, will build on the original GDEP which ran from 2002-04. The program will offer an in-depth mentored summer research program for selected high school and community college students, which was the primary activity of the original GDEP. In addition GDEP Track 2 will offer community outreach field trips throughout the academic year for larger numbers students and their families. The field trips introduce students to the physical environment of Southern California as well as inform them of career opportunities in geology, physical geography and geoarchaeology. Additional summer field trips will be conducted with the campus chapter of the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP). CSU-LSAMP is sponsored both by the NSF and the California State University, providing a statewide program for the enhancement of math and science skills for minority students majoring in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). GDEP Track 2 will also work with local government agencies, NGO's, and corporations to create internships for graduates of the summer research program.
"This program is good for the university and for the geosciences as a whole," said principal investigator Chris Lee, a georgraphy professor at CSULB. "The components are designed to increase the diversity in the geoscience related programs at CSULB. We have seen small but promising changes in the student demographics of the Geology, Geography and Anthropology Departments as a result of the original GDEP. Our overall goal is to increase our diversity to more closely reflect the campus and community populations we serve. Beyond that, on a national level, it is important to have more diversity in the sciences. CSULB can be a spearhead for that. The components of this program were designed to create a model that will be transportable to other universities."
GDEP Track 2 builds on unusually strong intercollege and interdisciplinary activities among 16 faculty members from CSULB's geology, geography, geoarchaeology and environmental science disciplines to create a working prototype for an integrated academic and workforce development program. The program utilizes collaborative partnerships with high schools (Cabrillo, Lakewood, Long Beach Polytechnic, Millikan, and Wilson) and community colleges (Cerritos, Compton, El Camino, Long Beach City, Orange Coast, Saddleback and Santa Monica) to promote education and careers in the geosciences. A select student population from partner institutions will participate in focused field research and supported internships while a larger number of students and their families, as well as CSU-LSAMP students, will be exposed to the geosciences through classroom visits, workshops and community outreach field trips. Through these partnerships, CSULB will leverage its scientific and educational resources to attract, retain and better prepare students for opportunities in the geosciences.
Lee explains that for him, one of the program's biggest appeals is the opportunity to work with high school seniors and university undergraduates. "It's great to work with students who are just getting going in their academic careers when it is still possible to expose them to academic and career possibilities they may not have known existed. It is my goal to get as many undergraduate and graduate students as possible out there working in situations that give them experience which leads to employment in geoscience related fields."
From 1999-2002 Lee directed a NASA Regional Earth Science Application Center (RESAC) tracking wildfires, which he brought from his previous position at CSU Dominguez Hills.
One benefits of the original GDEP was its role as a confidence booster. "When students see they can take on new, and sometimes complex tasks, they are more confident," he said. "Students put together posters on their research and there is even support in the new grant to send students to regional conferences to present papers and posters. Several students each year are asked to return as mentors. An assessment component of the both the original and the new grant also tracks students once they have completed the program. You really do see that the program has touched these students and changed their lives. We are looking forward to building on the legacy of the original GDEP by reaching even more students through GDEP Track 2. "

Take the Pledge (And Plunge) For Computer Science Education Week
By Kevin Hart December 6, 2010 3:16 pm
Did you know that the number of high schools offering introductory computer science education courses dropped from 78 percent to 65 percent from 2005 to 2009? Or that women and African American students are under-represented in AP computer science classes, even though computer science is expected to generate 800,000 new, good-paying jobs by 2016?
If your knowledge of the current state of computer science in our schools could use, well, an upgrade, this is the week to do it.
From December 5-11, schools across America are celebrating Computer Science Education Week. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution endorsing this week as Computer Science Education Week in the hopes of generating discussion on improving access to quality computer science instruction in America's schools.
Computer Science Education Week is being chaired by Debra J. Richardson, who is the founding dean of the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine. The staff of the National Center for Women and Information Technology are also lending support.
If you're looking for information and resources to help you participate in Computer Science Education Week, just click on over to the Computer Science Education Week Web site.
You would expect the Web site for Computer Science Education Week to be cool, and this site doesn't disappoint. There are resources for students, parents, teachers, administrators, higher education, and business leaders. You can take a pledge to get involved, or find an event happening near you.
Events run the gamut from a computer science teacher appreciation night at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst to a California high school field trip to Raytheon. There's something happening in every part of the country.
If you're doing anything special for Computer Science Education Week, we'd love to hear about it. Just post below. And if you want to tweet during the week, just use the hashtag #csedweek.

Sarah Ida Shaw and Eleanor Dorcus Pond founded the Alpha Chapter of Delta Delta Delta at Boston University in 1888. They founded the fraternity, wrote the rituals and constitution, and jointly decided upon a name for their new society. Eleanor suggested a three-letter name while Sarah chose the Greek letter of Delta, forming Delta Delta Delta. Soon after Sarah and Eleanor founded the Alpha chapter of Tri Delta, two more of their fellow senior classmates joined the chapter, Isabel Morgan Breed and Florence Isabelle Stuart. These four women are now known as the founding sisters of Tri Delta.
The Gamma Psi Chapter of Delta Delta Delta was chartered at Wofford College in the fall of 2000. Tri Delta collegiate members from the surrounding area such as Furman, USC, and Clemson facilitated our rush. A national field consultant, Bethany Stout, lived in Spartanburg for our first semester and oversaw all of our new member education. The National Executive Board came as well and ran our initiation, which occurred on November 11, 2000. With the help of Tri Delta field consultants and collegiate members, the 23 initial members of Gamma Psi held officer elections and later established by-laws and policies that are still used today. The Gamma Psi Chapter for Wofford College has only continued to grow throughout the years.
We have since been honored for having the highest GPA on campus almost every year, both in our pledge class and overall. We have members who are a part of Campus Union, Wofford Ambassadors, Residence Life, Twin Towers, athletics, as well as other service fraternities on campus. Our sisters are motivated to get involved and many take leadership positions within the sorority. Together, we are ensuring that Delta Delta Delta is a place where we can make both a difference and lifelong friendships.
