Teachers Talking Technology - Going public: student contributions to Wikipedia
Monday, January 24, 2011 (Around 4 years ago)
Our students seek quickly-accessible sources of information. It is critical that our students and the public have access to accurate and engaging sources on biological topics. Because of this need we developed two projects requiring students to communicate topics related to plant or insect biology using Wikipedia. As a result of these projects, students realized how poorly some topics were covered, composed and posted new entries, and expressed pride in their final products — because they were in the public domain. Program runs at 11:30 and at 12:30 pm. Free lunch at Three Crowns buffet, then meet in Heritage Room.

Post by HQ75 on Dec 28, 2012 20:21:07 GMT -5
This is random and a very SMALL part of what is being discussed here but 'Team Will' bothers me. Why are we not allowed to be temporarily upset or frustrated with someone without people saying you 'hate' them? All that does is pit the boys against each other. I'm not on a 'team' I just find that so silly and trivial. I just like these characters and sometimes I might be upset with one vs another, as you might be with your own relationships. Sorry. I like Will, I'm sure I'll still like him afterwards but I still fail to see the motivation behind not telling Sonny, so I am frustrated with him right now.
I'm Team Will because I think what he is going through is horrible and I wouldn't wish it on anyone and I think what Gabi and Nick have done in the past to get their way and what they are doing now is inhumane and I want Gabi and Nick to pay.
Gabi was adamant that Will and she would be in this together, making all the decisions about this baby together but the second Nick offered to "take care of her" she decided Will doesn't matter, the fact that he is obviously struggling and in pain and confused doesn't matter to Gabi.
I have no dougbt that Chad and Sonny love Will and will support him because they know that live is not simple. This situation is not simple and Will has had to make all of these huge decisions alone because of his fear and insecurity. A person can only be where they are. I can wish all kinds of things about Will but at the end of the day, he's a scared 19 year old who is miserable and he feels like he's all alone and can't talk to anyone.
Meanwhile his much older cousin and his ex girlfriend (who are supposed to care about him) are selfishly parading their lying asses all through the Horton and Brady family and have the nerve to basically send Will to hell for having any feelings.
The thing about being young is that you frequently make decisions out of fear and an inability to see other options. In this entire baby scenario, Will has been the one suffering while Gabi just decides what to do and think Nick decides what to do and the two of them manipulate and guilt trip Will into going along not because he's weak but because he genuinely cares about the baby, his baby and is afraid of making the wrong decision.
It's easy to call him weak (as some other people have) because he doesn't automatically know what the right decision is be he's obviously troubled and not happy with THIS decision either.
Also, it's not just HIS baby. It is also Gabi's baby and it's not like Will can just take over carrying the baby and ignore what Gabi thinks or wants.
So I guess that is what I mean by "Team Will" I have never pitted Sonny and Will against each other because for me they are on the same side. They love each other and they should support each other through hard times, not break up every time one of them does something the other doesn't like or understand.
At the end of the day, for me, the more important thing is that Will is going to be a father. Everything else aside, that is a completely life altering, forever thing and he needs support from the people who love him.
Team GACK can go to hell without a handbasket. Gabi and Nick are both criminals and should be in jail. Gabi isn't even sorry about she did to Melanie.
I've thought about Chad a lot recently. About his state of mind when he finally found Melanie about how he must have felt when he discovered that Gabi knew where Melanie was all the time they were searching for her and how horrible it must have felt for him to keep it from Melanie then to immediately have to deal with the other man who kidnapped and tormented Melanie being out on parole and hanging out with Gabi? It's not wonder Chad flipped.
The fact that Nick and Gabi have no remorse, no sense of how their actions effected Melanie or Chad, and now no sense of how much they must be hurting Will, makes them sociopaths in my opinion.
I want to see them pay. Not Nicole "Work in a church for a while with a priest I have the hots for" pay but seriously pay for their ways.

baxter international inc (BAX*) Top Compensated Officers
baxter international inc (BAX*) Key Developments
The Board of Directors of Baxter International Inc. declared a quarterly dividend of $0.52 per Baxter common share. The dividend is payable on April 1, 2015 to shareholders of record as of March 11, 2015.
Baxter International Inc. provided an update on its gene therapy program, including progress on the Phase I/II open-label clinical trial assessing the safety and optimal dosing level of BAX 335, an investigational factor IX (FIX) gene therapy treatment for hemophilia B, during a sponsored symposium at the 8th Annual Congress of the European Association for Haemophilia and Allied Disorders (EAHAD) in Helsinki, Finland. The trial is assessing the safety of ascending doses of BAX 335 to determine the optimal single dose in up to 16 adult patients with hemophilia B at treatment centers in the United States. The primary endpoint is the safety of a single dose of BAX 335 administered intravenously. Secondary endpoints include evaluation of the optimal dose to achieve stable therapeutic plasma FIX activity, as well as pharmacokinetics and immune response to treatment. As of the end of 2014, a total of six patients in three dosing cohorts have been treated in the trial with evidence of a dose-related response. No patients have developed FIX inhibitors to date. In the two higher dose cohorts, FIX activity levels around 10% or above have been observed in two patients, who also experienced no bleeding events. One of these patients showed elevated levels of liver enzymes indicative of an immune response, which is being treated with oral corticosteroids, per protocol. Immune responses have been reported in previous studies with gene therapy technology.
Baxter International Inc. presented additional efficacy and safety data from the Phase III pivotal study of BAX 855, an investigational, extended half-life recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) treatment for hemophilia A based on ADVATE [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant)] at the 8th Annual Congress of the European Association for Haemophilia and Allied Disorders (EAHAD) in Helsinki, Finland. The new data expand on the previously disclosed topline results from the pivotal trial, which found that BAX 855 met the study's primary endpoint in the control and prevention of bleeding episodes and routine prophylaxis. Patients in the twice-weekly prophylaxis arm of the trial experienced a 95% reduction in median annualized bleed rate (ABR) as compared to those in the on-demand arm (1.9 vs. 41.5, respectively). The study findings supported Baxter's December 2014 submission for approval of BAX 855 to the United States Food and Drug Administration. The prospective, global, multi-center, open-label, two-arm Phase III study evaluated BAX 855 among 137 previously treated hemophilia A patients (PTP) who were 12 years or older. Patients were assigned either to twice weekly prophylaxis (40-50 IU/kg, n=120) or on-demand treatment (10-50 IU/kg, n=17). In addition to a reduced ABR, BAX 855 was also effective in treating bleeding episodes, 96% of which were controlled with one or two infusions at a median dose of 29.0 IU/kg per infusion. Treatment was rated excellent or good for nearly all episodes (96.2%). In the prophylactic group (n=101), 40% of patients experienced no bleeds. The study also showed that BAX 855 pharmacokinetics offered a 1.4-1.5-fold extended half-life compared to ADVATE with a median infusion interval of 3.6 days, supporting the findings from the Phase I trial. No patients developed inhibitors to BAX 855 and no treatment-related serious adverse events, including hypersensitivity, were reported. Seven adverse reactions in six patients, including headache, diarrhea, nausea, and flushing were reported. Baxter's continuation study for patients who completed the pivotal trial and the Phase 3 study among previously treated patients under the age of 12 with severe hemophilia A remain ongoing. Upon completion of the pediatric study, Baxter expects to file for marketing authorization with the European Medicines Agency in 2016. BAX 855 is based on ADVATE, a full-length FVIII molecule with more than 11 years of real-world patient experience. Through a collaboration with Nektar Therapeutics, BAX 855 leverages proprietary PEGylation technology designed to prolong the amount of factor VIII available for use in the body. This proprietary technology has been used for 15 years in a number of approved medicines that treat chronic or serious conditions.

1. Introduce the MPA problem scenarios and project-based learning challenge.
Use the MPA Management Plan Case Study Vocabulary List to pre-teach the vocabulary. Distribute copies of the Gulf of Castellammare Fishery Reserve and Arctic Fishery problem scenarios, as well as the Problem Scenario Notetaking worksheet. Read aloud the directions and the problem scenario challenge for the activity from the notetaking worksheet. Remind students of the work they did in prior MPA, case study, and stakeholder activities in this unit. Tell them that they will need to use all of the content and strategies they learned to be successful in justifying the creation of the MPA and developing an effective management plan. Explain that successful MPAs require well-designed management plans that address important species monitoring, MPA effectiveness, enforcement and compliance, public communication, outreach and long-term education, and analysis of the social and economic costs and benefits. For homework, have students read the two problem scenarios and complete the notetaking worksheet.
2. During the next class period, discuss the MPA problem scenarios and the completed notetaking worksheets.
Divide students into pairs. Have pairs exchange their completed notetaking worksheets and discuss the information that they recorded in their comparison charts. Instruct them to add important information that they discovered during their discussion. As a whole class, discuss the similarities and differences between the two MPA problem scenarios. Address any questions that students may have.
3. Have students select one of the MPA problem scenarios to explore in depth.
Tell students that they need to decide as a class which MPA problem scenario they will focus on for their project challenge. Set a time limit for discussion and explain to them that they will need to come to a consensus. Once the class has selected its MPA problem scenario, tell students they are going to work in small groups to gather information that will help them justify the designation of the MPA and develop an effective management plan. Explain to students that after each small group has developed its management plan component, they will regroup as a class to compile the components into one, comprehensive site management plan and present the plan to a fictitious MPA stakeholder approval committee.
4. Have students work in small groups to develop the five components of the management plan.
Divide the class into five small groups and assign each group a component from the following list:- Group 1: List of Biodiversity and Species Monitoring Plan
- Group 2: Management Overview and Site Specific Goals
- Group 3: Social and Economic Impacts
- Group 4: Compliance and Enforcement
- Group 5: Education and Outreach Strategies
Distribute a copy of the Management Plan Components handout to each student. Read the directions aloud, including the problem scenario challenge. Allow students time to read through all of the management plan components. Address any questions they may have. Then distribute a copy of the Project Evaluation Criteria rubric and explain that this criteria will be used to evaluate students' work. Remind them that as a class, they must accomplish two primary objectives:
- Justify the creation and designation of the MPA
- Develop and present an effective management proposal for the MPA
Provide groups with butcher paper, colored markers, and poster board. Some groups will need to collaborate and share information. Facilitate groups in sharing their work as needed. For example, Group 1 should complete its species list first and share it with Group 5 so they can make their food web; Groups 3 and 5 should collaborate on how the MPA may address cultural resource preservation and education; Groups 2 and 4 should collaborate on stakeholder identification, management goals, and compliance/enforcement strategies.
5. Discuss and integrate each group's management plan component.
After small groups have completed the management plans for their assigned components, regroup as a class. Have students compile, discuss, and revise their plans, as needed, so that all of the components together make up one comprehensive management plan that will be used during their final presentation to the MPA stakeholder approval committee.
6. Have students use media to develop their formal MPA management plan presentation.
Explain to students that the next step is for them to turn their MPA proposal and management plan presentation materials into a formal presentation using their media of choice. Examples of presentation formats include presentation software, public service announcements, websites, blogs, e-posters, paper posters, tabletop placards, brochures, songs, or educational games/activities. Explain that students are playing the critical role of advocates who are "selling" the idea of creating the MPA in order to preserve valuable cultural and ecological resources. The media they use to present their proposal and management plan must be an appropriate format to convey the essential information about their problem scenario MPA. Remind them that their work will be evaluated based on the project evaluation criteria: quality, organization and clarity, creativity, evidence of science content learning, and effort exhibited.
7. Have students present their proposed management plan to the "MPA stakeholder approval committee."
Select a day and time for the class to present their MPA proposal and management plan to an audience that represents the MPA stakeholder approval committee. This could be a group of their peers, parents, school administrators, or a public group. Allow 30 minutes for the presentation, with an additional 15 minutes of time for questions and answers. Let the class decide what format they want to use to present the justification for the creation of the MPA and the management plan. Make sure that all students have some role in the presentation planning and development, including the invitations and promotion of the presentation. Provide copies of the complete management plan and the Project Evaluation Criteria rubric to all presentation attendees.Peer Evaluation
Use the Project Evaluation Criteria rubric to evaluate student projects. Distribute the rubric to the audience representing the stakeholder approval committee and have them evaluate student work. Then, share the evaluations and feedback with students and ask them to respond to the feedback, either verbally or in writing.
Extending the Learning
Have students use the same problem scenario format and criteria to develop and present a proposed management plan for a nearby protected area. The protected area chosen can already be designated as a protected area or one that students want to newly designate. Set up an audience and forum for students to share their work with their peers, parents, school administrators, or a public group.

Ocean Literacy Essential Principles and Fundamental Concepts
- Principle 5c: Some major groups are found exclusively in the ocean. The diversity of major groups of organisms is much greater in the ocean than on land.
- Principle 5d: Ocean biology provides many unique examples of life cycles, adaptations and important relationships among organisms (such as symbiosis, predator-prey dynamics and energy transfer) that do not occur on land.
- Principle 5e: The ocean is three-dimensional, offering vast living space and diverse habitats from the surface through the water column to the seafloor. Most of the living space on Earth is in the ocean.
- Principle 5f: Ocean habitats are defined by environmental factors. Due to interactions of abiotic factors such as salinity, temperature, oxygen, pH, light, nutrients, pressure, substrate and circulation, ocean life is not evenly distributed temporally or spatially, i.e., it is "patchy". Some regions of the ocean support more diverse and abundant life than anywhere on Earth, while much of the ocean is considered a desert.
- Principle 5h: Tides, waves and predation cause vertical zonation patterns along the shore, influencing the distribution and diversity of organisms.
- Principle 6b: From the ocean we get foods, medicines, and mineral and energy resources. In addition, it provides jobs, supports our nation's economy, serves as a highway for transportation of goods and people, and plays a role in national security.
- Principle 6c: The ocean is a source of inspiration, recreation, rejuvenation and discovery. It is also an important element in the heritage of many cultures.
- Principle 6d: Much of the world's population lives in coastal areas.
- Principle 6e: Humans affect the ocean in a variety of ways. Laws, regulations and resource management affect what is taken out and put into the ocean. Human development and activity leads to pollution (such as point source, non-point source, and noise pollution) and physical modifications (such as changes to beaches, shores and rivers). In addition, humans have removed most of the large vertebrates from the ocean.
- Principle 6g: Everyone is responsible for caring for the ocean. The ocean sustains life on Earth and humans must live in ways that sustain the ocean. Individual and collective actions are needed to effectively manage ocean resources for all.

New, direct from Microsoft Hardware, the Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse Artist Edition Year of the Dragon is an intriguing mix of cultural art and computer gear, in a limited edition mouse designed for the 2012 Chinese New Year. Up-and-coming artist Lin Xu Pan has emulated a paper-cut style in his interpretation of a classic Chinese dragon, imprinted on the Arc Touch palm rest. This five-claw crouching dragon, symbolizing nobleness, was traditionally reserved for royal use—no longer! The portable Arc Touch is already well-known for its flex design—pop it into an arc to turn it on, flatten it to turn it off and store—and features touch scrolling. Once again, Year of the Dragon is a limited edition.

I had someone from Saudi Arabia find my site via the 19th(!) page of a Google search for "dirtygirl", which I had mentioned as a character from the webcomic OrneryBoy (though I doubt that's what he was looking for)
Actually, the patch just removes his sunglasses.
It's an awful let-down.
Nude patch? Would JC Denton's sunglasses be on or off?
I was a minute and a half late in making that entirely obvious joke. You win this round whitebrice. You win this round.

Sorry, guv'nor. Won't happen again. :x

the second result is a TF2 article from here also so i think it was before too
Sorry, that was my fault, putting that comment into the DE3 thread.
Quoting Mr. Meer's Eurogamer review of MINERVA has left me with some entertaining search terms from amorous dyslexics.
"sexey girl", "last week sexey moves", "sexey back side", "sexey bits", "sexey girls of big hears", "sexey human", "somthing sexey", "tickling testicles"…
… What was that from?
"portal, can i save my companion cube?"

Kid's Horse Information
A lot of children love horses, and rightly so. Horse riding is a very enjoyable family experience and it is best to educate children at a fairly young age as to the correct way to behave towards and around horses. Explain to them about horses and their characteristics. Having such a large and powerful animal around children obviously has inherent dangers. This article will teach you the basics about horses (in case you are not sure yourself) and the correct way to pass this horse information on to children so they can stay safe and enjoy their experiences with horses.
The Rules of being around Horses
There are set of rules that should be taught to children before allowing them to go near a horse or stables etc. Make sure that the child knows them and can repeat them on request. These include things like they should never run or make loud noise in the barn or the stables. Children are naturally quite excitable so you need to make sure that they understand about horses.
Stay in Front, or to the Side of a Horse
A horse cannot see what is behind it and they get very nervous and jumpy if they sense that something is behind them. Any movement, no matter how slow can startle a horse and it will kick out. Show children the safe distance that it is ok to walk behind a horse as well as showing them the hoof to explain how dangerous it would be to be kicked by a horse. Teaching children about horses and how they behave is an essential piece of horse information that could save them from getting hurt.
Information about Teaching Children to be Calm and Quiet around Horses
Children should know to show some restraint and calm when around horses. Children should know about horses and any movement should be done in a slow and deliberate manner. Any talking, either to the horse or to another person, should be done in a quiet, calm and low tone as much as possible because hearing is one of the horse's most acute senses. Horse trainers and known as Horse Whisperers for a reason. One of the best ways to make children understand all this horse information is to show them it first hand. With an assistant, use a horse that is well trained and fairly calm and show them the difference between the way a horse reacts to loud, sudden noises and movements and then the way it reacts to a quiet and calm person.
Patting a Horse on the Nose
It is a common misconception that a horse enjoys being stroked and patted on the nose, this is not true. In fact, a horse's nose is one of the most sensitive parts of their body and it is not normal behaviour for a horse to be touched on the nose. It is much more common for them to greet and touch each other in the area where the neck meets the shoulder. Again, this is useful horse information to know as it will change the way the horse reacts to the child in the future.

Hi: 11° Lo:4°
THE youngest members of Blythe Barracudas Swimming Club got their first taste of competition at the Birmingham Water Festival Open Meet held at Stechford Cascades.
Organised by the Swimming Action Group, this is an important event in the swimming calendar as it gives novice gala swimmers experience of competing.
Blythe were well represented with 27 swimmers taking part and achieving some outstanding swims.
Ten-year-old triplets Benedict, Giselle and Jacques Barker excelled, taking home ten medals between them. Jacques struck gold in the 100m IM, 25m butterfly and 50m breaststroke; he also took silver in the 50m backstroke. Giselle impressed with silver in the 50m breaststroke and bronze in the 50m backstroke and 25m butterfly whilst sibling Benedict achieved bronze medals in the 100m IM, 50m backstroke and 50m breaststroke.
It was gold all round for the nine-year-old girls with Jennifer Paris collecting a double in the 25m butterfly and 25m breaststroke, Maria Long in the 100m IM and Erin Molloy in the 25m freestyle.
Other notable swims came from eight-year-old Lily Reel who achieved her first gold in the 25m butterfly; ten-year-old Hannah Devenport who took silver in the 25m butterfly, 50m freestyle and bronze in the 100m IM and nine-year-old Olivia Arnold who won bronze in her 25m backstroke event. Jennifer Paris added a silver to her haul in the 25m freestyle event.
