Zenoss and the Art of Network Monitoring
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? This the classic query designed to place your mind into the Zen-like state known as the silent mind. Whether or not you want to hear a tree fall, if you run a network, you probably want to hear a server when it goes down. Many organizations utilize the long-established Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as a way to monitor their networks proactively and listen for things going down.
At a rudimentary level, SNMP requires only two items to work: a management server and a managed device (or devices). The management server pulls status and health information at regular intervals from the managed devices and stores the information in a table. Managed devices use local SNMP agents to notify the management server when defined behavior occurs (such as errors or "traps"), which are stored in the same table on the server. The result is an accurate, real-time reporting mechanism for outages. However, SNMP as a protocol does not stipulate how the data in these tables is to be presented and managed for the end user. That's where a promising new open-source network-monitoring software called Zenoss (pronounced Zeen-ohss) comes in.
Available for most Linux distributions, Zenoss builds on the basic operation of SNMP and uses a comprehensive interface to manage even the largest and most diverse environment. The Core version of Zenoss used in this article is freely available under the GPLv2. An Enterprise version also is available with additional features and support. In this article, we install Zenoss on a CentOS 5.1 system to observe its usefulness in a network-monitoring role. From there, we create a simulated multisystem server network using the following systems: a Fedora-based Postfix e-mail server, an Ubuntu server running Apache and a Windows server running File and Print services. To conserve space, only the CentOS installation is discussed in detail here. For the managed systems, only SNMP installation and configuration are covered.
Begin by selecting your hardware. Zenoss lacks specific hardware requirements, but it relies heavily MySQL, so you can use MySQL requirements as a rough guideline. I recommend using the fastest processor available, 1GB of memory, fast enough hard disks to provide acceptable MySQL performance and Gigabit Ethernet for the network. I ran several test configurations, and this configuration seemed adequate enough for a medium-size network (100+ nodes/devices). To keep configuration simple, all firewalls and SELinux instances were disabled in the test environment. If you use firewalls in your environment, open ports 161 (SNMP), 8080 (Zenoss Management Page) and 514 (if you integrate syslog with Zenoss).
Install CentOS 5.1 on the server using your own preferences. I used a bare install with no X Window System or desktop manager. Assign a static IP address and any other pertinent network information (DNS servers and so forth). After the OS install is complete, install the following packages using the yum command below:
yum install mysql mysql-server net-snmp net-snmp-utils gmp httpd
If the mysqld or the httpd service has not started after yum installs it, start it and set it to run for your configured runlevel. Next, download the latest Zenoss Core .rpm from Sourceforge.net (2.1.3 at the time of this writing), and install it using rpm from the command line. To start all the Zenoss-related dæmons after the .rpm has been installed, type the following at a command prompt:
service zenoss start
Launch a Web browser from any machine, and type the IP address of the Zenoss server using port 8080 (for example, http://192.168.142.6:8080). Log in to the site using the default account admin with a password of zenoss. This brings up the main dashboard. The dashboard is a compartmentalized view of the state of your managed devices. If you don't like the default display, you can arrange your dashboard any way you want using the various drop-down lists on the portlets (windows). I recommend setting the Production States portlet to display Production, so we can see our test systems after they are added.
Almost everything related to managed devices in Zenoss revolves around classes. With classes, you can create an infinite number of systems, processes or service classifications to monitor. To begin adding devices, we need to set our SNMP community strings at the top-level /Devices class. SNMP community strings are like passphrases used to authenticate traffic between devices. If one device wants to communicate with another, they must have matching community names/strings. In many deployments, administrators use the default community name of public (and/or private), which creates a security risk. I recommend changing these strings and making them into a short phrase. You can add numbers and characters to make the community name more complex to guess/crack, but I find phrases easier to remember.
Click on the Devices link on the navigation menu on the left, so that /Devices is listed near the top of the page. Click on the zProperties tab and scroll down. Enter an SNMP community string in the zSNMPCommunitiy field. For our test environment, I used the string whatsourclearanceclarence. You can use different strings with different subclasses of systems or individual systems, but by setting it at the /Devices class, it will be used for any subclasses unless it is overridden. You also could list multiple strings in the zSNMPCommunities under the /Devices class, which allows you to define multiple strings for the discovery process discussed later. Make sure your community string (zSNMPCommunity) is in this list.

on windows systems you could install snmp informant http://www.snmp-informant.com/ so you will get more informations
Excellent article for the
Excellent article for the beginner, but this is just starting. The more you work , more you will learn the new features of highly customizable great software zenoss core.
Modification required
Hi, I'm Ty Hahn and one of the biggest fan of LJ.
I really enjoyed this article. While reading, I found a tiny mistake and that's why I'm here.
On page 73, the SNMP configuration file for Ubuntu to change must be '/etc/default/snmpd' instead of '/etc/snmp/default'.
I hope this helps to save somebody's precious time.

Nylon wore off the beater.
By Janicesue1
from Henderson, TN, United States
I love my KitchenAide mixer. The Only issue is the beater. I would like to purchase a beater without the nylon coating. When I use it like it is, I am always afraid it will come off in what I am beating. Also with it peeling like it is I have a fear of what is in the places that are peeled off and did I get everything that was there.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Arizona Coyotes
Coyotes coach Dave Tippett: Team 'can't rely on coming back'
The Phoenix Coyotes have developed a knack for the comeback this season and that's not exactly a good thing according to their coach.
The Coyotes have trailed in nine of their 14 wins this season, displaying an on-ice manifestation of the organization's official 2013-14 slogan: "Hungrier Than Ever."
While valiant, Dave Tippett says the team's recipe for success isn't a sustainable one.
"To try to come back in a game was almost inconceivable (a decade ago)," Tippett told The Dan Bickley Show with Vince Marotta.
"Now, you can come back, but it's not a good formula," he went on.
"If you think you're going to be a good team for a long time, you can't rely on coming back."
Tippett's team has struggled early in games for much of the season. They have, at times, looked slow out of the gate, as evidenced by their inflated number of comeback wins. And trailing to start a game has generally been a poor omen for the team. The Coyotes have won just a third of the games which they have trailed first in thus far while three of their division rivals -- the San Jose Sharks, Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings -- boast wins in more than half of the games in which they see a deficit first.
Leading after the first period, however, is a different story for Tippett's club. Like just one other team in the Western Conference, the Coyotes are undefeated when they go to the first intermission with a lead. But such games have seemingly been few and far between. Only one other team in the West has less first period goals than the Coyotes, who have 15 such scores.
They're definitely a slow-starting team.
The Coyotes sre second only to the Chicago Blackhawks among NHL teams in third period goals, having logged 28 thus far.
"The ability to start with a hard push and capitalize on chances is a big factor in hockey and I think we've shown that with our team. If we can get a lead, it's a big step in the right direction for us."
All in all, Tippett said the team is on the right track, despite losing each of its last three games and four of its last five.
"There's a lot of parts of our game that we like, but we're making those one or two critical errors at the wrong time," he said.
Early-game performance is presumably not one of those parts, though writing the comeback propensity off altogether isn't something Tippett will do.
"I like the way our guys hang around there and push back," he said.
"But ideally you're not in that situation."

"I used this as a Bachelor/ette wknd invite. It turned out beautiful!!! Very classy looking!!!! I also added a picture to the back of the invite. LOVE THIS you will not be disappointed."
"The invites I chose for my sisters bachelorette party could not have been more perfect!! I have received so many compliments!! Wedding paper divas will be a site I return to in the future and will recommend to anyone looking for the perfect invite for all occasions!! The customer service was awesome too- I believe Jennifer out of Phoenix helped me... Thanks for all the help!!"
"The invitations came out beautiful, and are of great quality. They also came with plain white envelopes, but they didn't feel flimsy and cheap, and were very nice as well. I was also very satisfied with the amount of time it took to deliver them, and all my guests complimented the invitations. I would definitely reccommend to get them, especially if you're doing a Victoria's Secret kind of theme."
"This invitation looks much nicer than shown on the screen. The quality of the paper is great which makes the invitation a bit formal, but still fun. I recommend this invitation for announcing a nice night out with the girls."
"I was so impressed with Wedding Paper Divas! The invitations were high quality and looked even better in person than in the picture. The invitations came almost an entire week early and I couldn't be happier! I will be ordering from this website again!"

Kenmore HE3T quit. I'm glad. Best front loader for the $$?
I've hated this washer from the start and it finally quit.
I think I'm going back to a top loader.
What is the best bang for the buck? We're empty nesters but I'm still doing about 2 small loads a day of minimally soiled clothing. Need to be able to wash a king size quilt.
I have missed clean, soft clothes. That beast I paid a fortune for wasn't the answer....
I love my Maytag Bravos. Its capacity is listed as 5.2 cu ft, and I can easily wash a king-size comforter.
If you want to be able to wash with true hot water (instead of hot water cooled down with cold water), you will need an internal water heater -- unless you buy Speed Queen.
When I was researching washers, SQ didn't have a washer big enough for my family, and their washers are expensive.
My washer has an internal water heater, and does everything I need it to do very well.

Behind Every Great Man . . .
Hi Everyone!
I've lurked a lot on this forum and finally decided to pose a question:
How true do you find the statement "Behind every great man is a great woman" (however it goes)?
For the guys, do you find that your woman builds (has built) you up and plays a critical role in your personal success and the succes of your family? Or, do you feel like you've done everything for yourself and would be just fine (or better off) without her?
For the ladies, do you find that you have had to push and/or motivate your man in ways you did not expect (or maybe you did expect it). If he had been with you, do you think he'd be where he is in life?
Hello All,
I have been reading awhile, this is my first comment on this forum. When I saw the topic, I had to chime in.
I would not be half the man I am today without my wife. I say this at a time when we are dealing with work issues in regards to my job. Long story short, my employer told me to move into a title 7 years ago, raise included, I saw the title, and noted I did not qualify for the title. They said if you stay in the title for 7 years, you will qualify. Well 7 years is up, I applied to test for the title, and our Personnel Dept. told me that I don't qualify, AND never should have been put in this title in the first place. Now they are moving me out of my title (job duties, section, floor, everything) into a title I held 7 years ago. Alond with a $5,000 cut in pay. (sorry to ramble)
My wife has stood by me this entire time. We purchased a house 6 years ago (which now may be in jeopardy), and a pool last year. My Wifee has made me understand that what has happened was not my fault, and that I am not a failure (although I feel like a HUGE failure). My Wife has spent the last week and a half dealing with my problem, and treating it as "our" problem. My Wife provides me with the backbone that I need to fight this problem, everynight. My wife reinforces to me, my accomplishments. When my DOP section said that the last 7 years of work "did not count toward anything" my Wife was the one who listed my achievements to me, and made me understand that I DID make a difference.
I know this was very drawn out, my appologies. but it does fit the bill, behind this great man, is a Greater Woman.
Billy C, I am sorry to hear about your upsetting job situation. It really does sound like it's out of your control and your wife recognizes that. I hope you are able to find perspective by realizing this isn't your body, your kids, your marriage or anything else that can't be fixed. I'm glad you're blessed with such a staunch wife. I would bet you've been a good husband to her.
Interesting quote, sometimes true I guess. I'm sure it makes a difference. And in some cases, all the difference. (I seemt to remember hearing an old joke about Franklin Rooseveldt being nine tenths Eleanor. Lot worse things to be made 9/10s of, anyway.)
I think in my case, I provide the emotional security and perspective, or try to. I am sure I also provide the motive with my desire for children and expensive tastes :) I am not the Power Behind the Throne or anything distasteful like that, for sure.
Thanks for the kind words and thoughts demeron.
You are 100% correct when you say, "you're blessed with such a staunch wife". Truer words have never been spoken.
I guess the timing of this topic was just perfect. It allowed me to express my thoughts and feelings for my wife, to any and all who would listen. It seemed like "analytical1" was asking me the question directly! (Thank you by the way)
I will say that I broke down a couple of times during this mess (we are still in the middle of it), and it was difficult breaking down in front of my wife. I felt that I should have been stronger. But she recognizes that I am a very sensitive person (M*A*S*H went off the air, and I cried) and she understood that I "needed to get it out!"
The emotional security and perspective that you talk about is so important. I am sure your marriage is a strong one, with open communication as well as faith in each other. I think that is huge, having faith in your partner.
Somewhere on these boards someone said "we are stronger as 1, then our 2 parts seperate" (or something like that). That is my wife and I. Both of us are very strong people, but together, our bond is stronger. I am blessed to have the wife that I have. She has made me a better person.
Hey Billy C! I'm glad that my question was right on time for you. And, you do, indeed, have a wonderful wife. You are also a great man for acknowledging and embracing the role that she plays in your life.
I posed the question initially because a coworker and I had been discussing the topic. She told me that she had truly had to guide, help and build up her man throughout her marriage. It seems to make good sense to me as God created women to be helpmeets to our men. From some of what I hear and read, it seems that some women these days don't believe in that.
To each her own.
Hi All,
Nice to see a topic like this gain a little fire!
Holly K...So glad things are working out so well for you guys. I believe you are right in your thinking, why not help a hand with something that you are better at? To me, it makes total sense. It does prove a point, the sum is greater then the parts seperate. (Again, not sure of the wording, I saw the quote yesterday, but forgot to copy it.)
My wife is providing more support then anything. Just having that reassurance has proved to be a great asset. She keeps me focused, and builds me up, as the "system" breaks me down.
I can relate to your side of it too though. Take our finances, my Wife handles everything, checks, banking, credit cards, everything. My friends ask me, "why don't you handle the money?", simple, I am not good at it. Or let me put it this way, not as good as she is with it! It makes sense for someone who knows what they are doing, to do it. Now, when my Wife needs help writing a resume, or creating an office memo, she turns to me. I can formulate my words better then she can on paper (or electronic). Not saying my Wife can't write, but I can do it better. We both understand our strengths, AND our weaknesses.
Analytical1, I think that is the important part going into a marriage, understanding that. Knowing that you guys are a team, and finding a partner that compliments you as well as you compliment them.
Billy C.
I think it goes both ways I know that my hubby would not be where he is if it weren't for me giving a little reassurance and a boot to the butt every now and then. But then again I would not be where I am without him. He has to give me a boot also and reassurance when I need it. I think a marriage is a team with equal roles (most of the time). Either you work together towards happiness and goals or you don't.

Help Reduce Storm Water Pollution - Water pollution prevention and control measures are critical to improving water quality and reducing the need for costly wastewater and drinking water treatment. Because water pollution can come from many different sources, a variety of pollution prevention and control measures are needed.Stormwater runoff occurs when precipitation from rain or snowmelt flows over impervious surfaces such as driverways, sidewalks and streets, which prevents the runoff from soaking into the ground.Stormwater runoff can pick up debris, chemicals, dirt and other pollutants and flow into the storm sewer system or directly into lakes, rivers, ponds and wetlands. Anything that enters the storm sewer system is then discharged into bodies of water we use for swimming, fishing and providing drinking water. This in turn can increase costs for treating our drinking water.In an attempt to educate the community on ways to prevent the potential for storm water pollution, we ask that residents be aware of the direct links between land activities and rainfall and snow melt runoff that drains into storm drains and ends up in our rivers and streams. Clean up pet waste to keep it out of street gutters; sweep up grass clippings and rake leaves to keep yardwaste debris from blowing into street gutters; apply lawn fertilizer and pesticides sparingly; control soil erosion on your property by planting ground cover; clean up spilled automotive fluids such as oil, anti-freeze and transmission fluids from driveways and don't hose the spills into the street. Please do your part to help eliminate storm water pollution. For information on disposal of hazardous waste and pollution prevention, contact Kane County at 630-208-5118. For more recycling information, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 630-208-3841.

This was one of the best days out we had in Paphos. It is aimed at children so I wouldn't recommend it for couples. The entertainment was amazing and the kids were constantly busy. The food was lovely and the drinks were cheap. We had so much fun this day. Highly recommended!!
We booked this trip as a treat for my four year old son...and we were pleasantly surprised. We didn't sail a great distance, but had a nice time on the boat. Food was ok, entertainment good and the pirates (Esp Capt. Pigeon) were great. Capt. Pigeon is very comical. A lot of what is said and done needs to be...

Obama at One
Deepak Bhargava
Executive Director, Center for Community Change
The healthcare bill is, for all its flaws, a momentous accomplishment. It is the first major expansion of the federal safety
net since the 1960s, and not only extends coverage to more than
30 million Americans but reverses the conservative string of successes in shrinking the role of government. In light of the economic crisis, President Obama had an easy excuse not to pursue a grand healthcare agenda. Indeed, reports are that some of his close advisers told him to play small ball; that he ignored their advice is a credit to his leadership. Though I wish the president had fought harder for key progressive priorities, holding him solely to account for the realities of the Senate (and a closely divided country) is to forget that he is a president, not a magician. Progressives and community organizers can be proud of the role we played. Had we not outmatched the tea-baggers in our advocacy, and pushed hard for the public option, we would have ended up with a thin gruel or perhaps nothing at all.
On the downside, the president has put together an economic team that has delivered for Wall Street but not for hurting communities. Their caution in light of the unfolding unemployment crisis has created the conditions for a right-wing populism that could be the undoing of a progressive agenda for a generation. Unless we force Washington to reverse course and pursue a bold full-employment agenda, the window for big change could close very quickly. The president's odd decision to demobilize his base in 2009 in favor of an insider approach to governance was a colossal mistake, and underlines the critical role for independent movements to create political space.
Edith Childs
County Councilwoman, Greenwood, South Carolina
My greatest moment of excitement was when Obama was given the oath to be the president, not just the black president but the president. He's not just some people's president but president of all of us, commander-in-chief of all of us.
My low moment has been the stimulus. In South Carolina, the money did not get down as far as it should have gotten. We are thankful for what we did get, but it is not as much as
I thought we should have gotten. I was hoping we could have done better job-wise.
I still have not, will not, give up on him as president, because I know he came into a lot of challenges from the outset, and it's going to take him a while to correct much of what was there when he became president. I still believe that we're going to get through it. And it's not going to take him alone. It's going to take his staff, and the House and the Senate working with him, as well as people down on the state and local level. As I told President Obama during the campaign, we all be "Fired Up and Ready to Go." We're going to work together and do what we have to do to move forward. And that will be what will get us through this recession.
Eduardo Galeano
The highest points have been his incarnation of the fight against racism, still alive after the long battle for civil rights and his plan for healthcare reform.
The sharpest disappoints:
§ Guantánamo, a universal disgrace
§ Afghanistan, a poisoned chalice, accepted and celebrated
§ His raising of the war budget, still called, who knows why, the defense budget
§ His nonanswer to the climate and yes-man answer to Wall Street, a contradiction captured perfectly on a poster outside the Copenhagen conference: "If the climate were a bank, it would be saved"
§ His green light to the authors of the military coup
in Honduras, betraying Latin hopes for change after
a century and a half of US-fabricated coups against democracy in the name of democracy
§ His recent speeches praising war, hymns to the ongoing butcheries for oil or the sacred cause of racketeer governments, so utterly divorced from the lively words that put him where he now sits
I don't know. Perhaps Barack Obama is a prisoner. The most powerful prisoner in the world. And perhaps he cannot notice it. So many people are in jail.

I just had to share that the past three evenings I finally felt movement. I "turned" 23 weeks on Wednesday and was lamenting that I still wasn't feeling my baby yet. It's so exciting!! I know I'm definitely a late bloomer in this regard but it was so worth the wait!
Me DH (est. 10/08), DS (11/19/11) (PCOS)
Yay, it's a really special feeling. Enjoy those tiny little kicks now before they start punching you in the ribs and bladder. ;)
Abra, Married to George, Mother to DS 12/03 & DD1 08/09 & DD2 12/11 + Someone New in May 2015! After years of planning, we are finally living our dream in South America!!
Ha ha, thanks! I'll remember that! My ultrasound tech did tell me my placenta is anterior (but it's high) so perhaps that contributed to why I didn't feel it for so long. She was still surprised I was feeling nothing. I am overweight too so maybe that has something to do with it?
Me DH (est. 10/08), DS (11/19/11) (PCOS)
YAY Congrats!!!! I know now that I feel it I make sure that I feel it everyday. She is active so it's not really hard to make her move. lol

What does the future hold in store for alliances and partnerships in the airline world? The global alliances continue to attract new members; market-specific joint ventures are cropping up all over the place – not just among alliance members, but also on a tactical basis with non-aligned carriers; and you only have to look at the tug of war over LATAM to see the impact consolidation may have on existing alliances.
What next for airline alliances and partnerships?
By Graham Dunn on 14 August, 2012 in Uncategorised
It is against this backdrop that airline management consultancy Booz & Company has launched a short survey looking at the future of partnership models in the airline industry. Aimed at industry members with an interest in airline collaboration, its objective is to evaluate the success of the different partnership models ranging from codeshares to alliances and joint ventures as well as minority shareholdings. It also examines some of the key challenges and success factors of different types of partnerships.
The survey should take about 10-15 minutes to complete and all responses will be treated confidentially. Those interested in finding out more about the survey can find it here www.booz.com/AirlinePartnershipSurvey/.
And look out for some of the findings and insights from the survey to be covered in Airline Business later this year.

Teacher Learning That Supports Student Learning: What Teachers Need to Know
Today's schools face enormous challenges. In response to an increasingly complex society and a rapidly changing technology-based economy, schools are being asked to educate the most diverse student body in our history to higher academic standards than ever before. This task is one that cannot be "teacher-proofed" through management systems, testing mandates, or curriculum packages.
What do teachers need to know to teach all students according to today's standards?
What Teachers Need to Know
First, teachers need to understand subject matter deeply and flexibly so that they can help students create useful cognitive maps, relate ideas to one another, and address misconceptions. Teachers need to see how ideas connect across fields and to everyday life. (Shulman, 1987.)
Interpreting learners' statements and actions and shaping productive experiences for them require an understanding of child and adolescent development and of how to support growth in various domains -- cognitive, social, physical, and emotional. Teaching in ways that connect with students also requires an understanding of differences that may arise from culture, family experiences, developed intelligences, and approaches to learning. Teachers need to be able to inquire sensitively, listen carefully, and look thoughtfully at student work.
Teachers need to know about curriculum resources and technologies to connect their students with sources of information and knowledge that allow them to explore ideas, acquire and synthesize information, and frame and solve problems. And teachers need to know about collaboration: how to structure interactions among students, how to collaborate with other teachers, and how to work with parents to shape supportive experiences at school and home.
New Strategies for Teacher Learning
Acquiring this sophisticated knowledge and developing a practice that is different from what teachers themselves experienced as students requires learning opportunities for teachers that are more powerful than simply reading and talking about new pedagogical ideas. (Ball and Cohen, in press.) Teachers learn best by studying, doing, and reflecting; by collaborating with other teachers; by looking closely at students and their work; and by sharing what they see. This kind of learning cannot occur in college classrooms divorced from practice or in school classrooms divorced from knowledge about how to interpret practice.
Better settings for such learning are appearing. More than 300 schools of education in the United States have created programs that extend beyond the traditional four-year bachelor's degree program. Some are one- or two-year graduate programs for recent graduates or mid-career recruits. Others are five-year models for prospective teachers who enter teacher education as undergraduates. In either case, the fifth year allows students to focus exclusively on the task of preparing to teach, with year-long, school-based internships linked to coursework on learning and teaching.
Studies have found that graduates of these extended programs are more satisfied with their preparation, and their colleagues, principals, and cooperating teachers view them as better-prepared. Extended program graduates are as effective with students as are much more experienced teachers and are much more likely to enter and stay in teaching than their peers prepared in traditional four-year programs. (Andrew and Schwab, 1995; Denton and Peters, 1988; Shin, 1994.)
Many of these programs have joined with local school districts to create Professional Development Schools. Like teaching hospitals, these schools aim to provide sites for state-of-the-art practice and for teacher learning. Both university and school faculty plan and teach in these programs. Beginning teachers get a more coherent learning experience when they teach and learn in teams with these veteran faculty and with one another. Senior teachers deepen their knowledge by serving as mentors, adjunct faculty, co-researchers, and teacher leaders. (Darling-Hammond, 1994.)
These new programs envision the professional teacher as one who learns from teaching rather than as one who has finished learning how to teach.
Professional Learning in Practice
Countries like Germany, France, and Luxembourg have long required two to three years of graduate-level study for prospective teachers on top of an undergraduate degree in the subject(s) to be taught. Education courses include the study of child development and learning, pedagogy, and teaching methods, plus an intensively supervised internship in a school affiliated with the university.
In France, all candidates now complete a graduate program in newly created University Institutes for the Preparation of Teachers that are connected to nearby schools. In Japan and Taiwan, new teachers complete a year-long supervised internship with a reduced teaching load that allows for mentoring and additional study. By Japanese law, first-year teachers receive at least twenty days of inservice training and sixty days of professional development. Master teachers are released from their classrooms to advise and counsel them. (National Commission on Teaching and America's Future, 1996.)
In their study of mathematics teaching in Japan, Taiwan, and the United States, Stigler and Stevenson note: "One of the reasons Asian class lessons are so well-crafted is that there is a very systematic effort to pass on the accumulated wisdom of teaching practice to each new generation of teachers and to keep perfecting that practice by providing teachers the opportunities to continually learn from each other." (1991)
Without these supports, learning to teach well is extremely difficult. Most U.S. teachers start their careers in disadvantaged schools where turnover is highest, are assigned the most educationally needy students whom no one else wants to teach, are given the most demanding teaching loads with the greatest number of extra duties, and receive few curriculum materials and no mentoring or support.
After entry, teachers are expected to know everything they will need for a career, or to learn through occasional workshops mostly on their own, with few structured opportunities to observe and analyze teaching with others. As one high school teacher who had spent twenty-five years in the classroom once told me: "I have taught 20,000 classes; I have been 'evaluated' thirty times; but I have never seen another teacher teach."
Some school districts have begun to create new approaches to professional development that feature mentoring for beginners and veterans; peer observation and coaching; local study groups and networks for specific subject matter areas; teacher academies that provide ongoing seminars and courses of study tied to practice; and school-university partnerships that sponsor collaborative research, inter-school visitations, and learning opportunities developed in response to teachers' and principals' felt needs.
For example, at Wells Junior High, a Professional Development School working with the University of Southern Maine, the whole notion of staff development was turned on its head. The emphasis shifted from outside consultants to in-house experts. Collaborative learning groups replaced the traditional lecture/demonstration format. Problem-posing and problem-solving supplanted the recipes and prescriptions for effective schools that teachers had heard for years and never managed to implement. (Miller and Silvernail, 1994, pp. 30, 31.)
Similarly, at Fairdale High School in Louisville, Kentucky, teachers' research coupled with shared decision making produced major changes.
As part of a self-study, ten teachers followed ten children through a school day. When it was over, teachers said things like, "It was boring," or, "You know, this isn't a very humane place to be." Teachers read and began to trade articles from the Kappan, Educational Leadership, and Education Week. Even before participative management was initiated at Fairdale, the teachers started changing things. "Make no mistake about it," [the principal] said, "we are building a professional culture." (Kerchner, 1993, p. 9.)
Professional development strategies that succeed in improving teaching share several features. (Darling-Hammond and McLaughlin, 1995.) They tend to be:
- Experiential, engaging teachers in concrete tasks of teaching, assessment, and observation that illuminate the processes of learning and development;
- Grounded in participants' questions, inquiry, and experimentation as well as professionwide research;
- Collaborative, involving a sharing of knowledge among educators;
- Connected to and derived from teachers' work with their students, as well as to examinations of subject matter and teaching methods;
- Sustained and intensive, supported by modeling, coaching, and problem solving around specific problems of practice; and
- Connected to other aspects of school change.
The Benefit for Students
Growing evidence suggests that this kind of professional development not only makes teachers feel better about their practice, but it also reaps learning gains for students, especially in the kinds of more challenging learning that new standards demand. (Darling-Hammond, 1997; NFIE, 1996.) Creating a profession of teaching in which teachers have the opportunity for continual learning is the likeliest way to inspire greater achievement for children, especially those for whom education is the only pathway to survival and success.

I found that the statements in this article are true. Teachers today need to read journals, articles, books, and take classes to become highly effective and to fit with the requirements of NCLB. In order to be a highly effective teacher one needs to continually learn and use that knowledge to help his or her students to succeed. In this ever-changing world of education, it behooves teachers to be life long learners.
I thought this was a wonderful article. Even while going through my education classes, I felt that there should have been more to it. I love the idea of having an entire school year to work under and collaboratively with a master teacher. I would almost go back and do my whole student teaching over again if that were the case. There isn't enough time spent in schools observing other teachers and actively working towards furthering our own education. Sitting in another seminar and listening isn't my way of learning. I, too, would like to know more.
After reading this article, I know why I need to be enrolled in a master's program! Teachers are isolated in our classrooms on a daily basis. Creating a support system for teachers, both new and established, will help with moral, retention and increase student academic performance. We need to implement a system that supports new teachers and enables them to be successful --not overwhelmed!
I thoroughly agree with the description of the teacher training process in Japan's public schools. I observed this when I taught in a Japanese middle school for five years as a partner teacher in English classes from 1995 through 2000.
Another tool that was new to me back then was the teachers' home visitations of their homeroom students that took the place of American-style parent conferences at school. Meeting student and his/her family at home was an ideal way to understand the student that shows up at school.
This was a wonderful article and I agree with most of the information in it as well as with the comments of the teachers. Just like professionals in other fields, we also need to keep abreast with the latest trends and information dealing with education. We are in our classrooms a lot and need time to commincation with other educators.
I enjoyed the article and the most interesting part of it was the lack of experience received before entering the classroom. During my undergrad studies, I did have the privilege of spending a great deal of time in the classroom prior to having my own classroom. But despite the time in the classroom, my first year was still really difficult. My mentor was responsible for her class and often I felt lost and confused. It was much more overwhelming than I expected. Also, things had changed so much since I had been in a classroom. I was 40 when I started to teach and I did not know such behavior existed amongst young chldren.
Many teachers enter the profession with only content knowledge in the subject to be taught and subsequently complete their training which is specific to the art of teaching. I am in total agreement with the stance taken by Germany, Luxembourg, France, Japan and Taiwan. I believe that just as other professionals like doctors and lawyers cannot begin their practices without an intership period, no teacher should be allowed into a classroom before completing some preparation programme.
I was also pleased to read that teacher as lifelong learner is viewed as an asset to the teachiong profession and that opportunities should be provided for teachers to remain current with respect to research and issues in education.
I believe that the article is very comprehensive and should prompt policy makers to make more informed decisions about what is best for the education system.
As a senior teacher, I am in agreement that we deepen our knowledge by mentoring these new educators. I am currently mentoring a novice teacher and enjoying the many new approaches that she's able to share with me.
All teachers need continual learning to stay abreast of currents trends and procedures. Teachers are never too old or too experienced to learn a better way to help students achieve success.
Angela, I am happy that you shared your experiences and indicated that you were overwhelmed despite having had some practice. Just imagine how a novice teacher must feel. When I entered the teaching profession I was given a time-table and books. There was no mentor. I learnt by trial and error and quickly figured out strategies to engage the students.
Yes the students are more outspoken than in previous years but we have to channel that energy into learning. How did you cope? What methodology did you use? What innovations have you utilised?
Joan, I am in agreement that we teachers are never to old to learn. Often we want to keep abreast of the innovations in education but this would require us to use personal funds. Some schools do not make provision for the teachers to attend conferences, worksheets or join professional organizations. The schools that encourage professional development have administrators who are of the opinion that the students will be beneficiaries when teachers have a greater body of knowledge about pedagogy.

In-Chan: Northern Thai Cuisine in Van Nuys
Wednesday, October 31, 2012 | 2 years ago
It would be very easy to walk into In-Chan, order pineapple fried rice, pad see ew and chicken satay and happily conclude that it was no different from any other Thai restaurant in the Valley. Unless you were a regular — or chose to address your waiter in fluent Thai — until you asked for it specifically, you probably wouldn't be offered the small, supplemental menu of about 15 dishes hailing from the city of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. Read the story.

Sometimes it is completely necessary to take information from a text message you revived and use it in another app and it is usually impractical to copy the entire message text..
On the stock you would tap on the received message bubble then long press on the area you wanted to highlight the tap to add to clipboard..
On a stock evo you would just long press the area of the text you wanted to highlight Would changing the kernel fix this? Is there any work around? I like this rom but I will have to flash something else if I cant fix this

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Much anticipation has been building as the PAHS Class of 2011 prepares to present the 60th Variety Show, this year titled "Long Live Our Dreams."
As everyone from the senior class is able to come together in one of the last activities as a group, the 2011 Variety Show will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the PAHS auditorium.
Throughout the nights, the audience will view 12 skits, including "Beiber Fever," "Phil Club" and a ballet dance that show the seniors have dedicated much of their time and efforts to performing.
BROOKVILLE — The Jefferson County Solid Waste Authority recently discussed the likelihood of policy revisions that could help the authority's funding predicament.
In particular, the authority has lobbied the state to again implement administrative fees, which could be used to reimburse the authority for every ton of waste material collected.
The annual Run/Walk for Someone Special will be held Sunday, April 10, at Town Hall in Sykesville, with registration beginning at 1:30 p.m., and the race starting at 3 p.m. Participants may register to take part in one of three activities: A two-mile fun run or walk, a five-mile race; or a half-mile wheelchair race. For a form to collect donations, enter the event or more information, contact Erin Cameron at email@example.com; Stacy Hanzely at email@example.com; or visit www.jcarc.org. Pre-registration can be done at www.firstgiving.org. Just search Run or Walk for Someone Special.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — A descendent from a long line of family hunters and former Punxsutawney resident, Richard "Dick" Lingenfelter of Haines City, Fla., has found coyotes to be an unending public annoyance.
For Lingenfelter, hunting was a lifestyle as well as a family tradition.
His late grandfather, Hillis Lingenfelter, was a former fur buyer. However, after his grandfather passed away, the family business of fur trade was conveyed to his uncle, Frank Lingenfelter, who continued buying furs, as well as becoming a bounty hunter.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The many public service announcements on television featuring the sad faces of abused and neglected animals that bring people to tears are heartbreaking and hard to miss.
In an effort to end animal abuse, a newly formed group, Amend Pa. Humane Enforcement (APHE), has begun to hold workshops throughout Pennsylvania in order to educate the public on why amendments are needed to the way current animal anti-cruelty laws are enforced.Â
The proposed amendments would turn anti-cruelty laws into first-class laws in the state.

School Boys Use a Live Wire For a Shocking Machine
BIG RUN — Big Run Borough Council dismissed its code enforcement officer and hired a new one during its monthly meeting.
Council President Nick Lantz called for an executive session near the close of last Monday's meeting to discuss the status of code enforcement officer David Rouch.
Following an executive discussion by council members, the meeting reconvened, and Lantz announced that council would replace Rouch due to his unavailability. Council then approved a motion to relieve Rouch of his duties and send him a certified letter informing him of his dismissal.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Richard Peirce won't take credit for the idea to use his 1991 Cadillac DeVille to bring a message from God to people everywhere.
"God put this idea in my mind," he said.
And if you haven't seen the vehicle, you're not looking hard enough.
With yellow lettering emblazoned against the car's maroon body color, the message is clear and startling: Judgment Day is Saturday, May 21, 2011 — eight weeks from today.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The fences are up, funding has been approved, and the demolition of the existing buildings is set to make way for the construction of Grace Place, a 24-unit housing complex for moderate-income seniors.
Tim Spence, a member of the Jefferson Area Lutheran Social Ministry (JALSM), said the $6.5 million project will be constructed at the corner of Pine and Gilpin streets on the site of the former Parente's Pool Hall, directly across from First English Lutheran Church.
JALSM is constructing the apartment complex in partnership with TREK Development of Pittsburgh.
BROOKVILLE — A former Punxsutawney man was sentenced to a maximum of nine years in a state correctional facility after pleading guilty to a variety of charges, including identity theft, with a total of $99,000 owed in restitution.
Michael J. Lainey, c/o the Jefferson County jail, pleaded guilty to numerous counts of identity theft, access device fraud and various other charges mostly involving Gilman Lainey of Punxsy, the defendant's father, from whom he stole $90,771.

I had IPL on my entire face exactly 1 week ago. I woke up this morning to find this small indentation on my forehead. Could IPL have caused this? Is it fat loss? I had IPL 8 months ago with no complications. Last week, she wanted to "turn it up a notch" and I did have some undereye swelling for two days post IPL, but that has resolved. My spots are really dark (which I know is good) so I feel confident they will disappear as they did the first time I had IPL. Could this be fat loss?
