Tony Cingrani stuck with basically one pitch in his Triple-A debut on Thursday night. Not one batter came close to touching it.
"I was just throwing it up there, and they couldn't hit it," Cingrani said of his fastball. "I felt pretty good, the ball was coming out of my hand pretty well."
The Reds' top-ranked lefty prospect struck out 14 batters over six hitless innings in his Bats debut and Felix Perez broke a late tie with a walk-off homer off the foul pole to send Louisville past Toledo, 4-3, on Opening Day.
Cincinnati's Minor League Pitcher of the Year for 2012, Cingrani threw 55 of his 84 pitches for strikes and allowed just one baserunner, a leadoff walk to Jordan Lennerton in the sixth. He struck out Quintin Berry to end that frame and his debut, coming up one strikeout shy of a career high.
"I wanted to be the best I could," said Cingrani, who whiffed 15 with Double-A Pensacola on June 26, 2012. "I just threw a bunch of fastballs and located wherever I wanted, just kept putting up zeros."
Cingrani, who made his Major League debut out of Cincinnati's bullpen late last year, went 10-4 with a 1.73 ERA in 26 games (25 starts) at Class A Advanced Bakersfield and Pensacola in 2012. He was in the mix for a spot in the Reds' rotation this spring, but with a crowded staff at the big league level, he knew he was likely ticketed for Louisville.
"I knew I was going to Triple-A before the season started, my mindset was already Triple-A [during Spring Training], but I was competing for a starting spot," he said. "It was good to get back on the mound, I didn't get a chance to attack hitters all winter long."
The Mud Hens were the victims of Cingrani's pent-up strikeout cravings, going down in order in each of the first five innings. Cingrani, 23, struck out the side in the first, second and fifth.
He said he began thinking about a no-hitter in the second.
"That doesn't play into your mind, but you go out and do what you do," he said. "I was getting a little tired [in the sixth], but it wasn't that big of a deal, I knew I was going to hit my pitch limit."
The Reds want Cingrani to continue building confidence in throwing his off-speed pitches for strikes, with the hopes of him remaining a starter. But on Thursday, Cingrani just kept things simple.
"I was just using the fastball, locating it -- I didn't have to go to anything else," he said. "There were some changeups and sliders, but mostly just the fastball."
Cingrani's 10 strikeouts were more than any Bats pitcher totaled in a game in 2012. He fell one K shy of the franchise record, set twice -- Ken Hill struck out 15 on May 10, 1990 against Indianapolis, and more recently, current Reds starter Homer Bailey did it on April 26, 2009, also against Toledo.
Ranked as the Reds' No. 3 prospect this year behind shortstop Billy Hamilton and right-hander Robert Stephenson, Cingrani said he's excited about where his second full season will lead.
"I think we can win the championship. We look like a good team, we have some good pitchers," he said. "We'll see how it goes."
As for Hamilton, who stole a professional baseball record 155 bases last year, the shortstop went 1-for-4 with a double in his Louisville debut.
"It's awesome," Cingrani said of playing with Hamilton. "He's one of a kind, he's the fastest man I've ever seen play baseball."
The game, for all Cingrani's mound domination, also featured some long balls. Veteran first baseman Mike Hessman, a long-time slugger with the Mud Hens, went deep twice in his Louisville debut before Perez, who hit just four homers last year, broke a 3-3 tie with a home run off the right field foul pole against Toledo's Luis Marte. Hessman's two homers marked the second straight year the Bats have had a player hit a pair of dingers on Opening Day -- Paul Janish did it last year.

You're travelling to another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound... but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land, whose boundaries are only that of the imagination... you're entering... the Twilight Zone... What began in 1959 with the great Rod Serling continues into the 21st century with a new host, Forest Whitaker, on a new network and told with completely new stories. Although there are minor similarities to older episodes of TZ, and a remake or two tossed in, these are still new ideas, told with a fresh and modern approach and delivered in that same chilling yet romantic style that still manages to captivate, compel and enchant us all... The show aired on UPN for one season (44 episodes) and it aired double pack episodes every week. The original Twilight Zone series aired from 1959 with host Rod Serling, and continued in 1985 with Charles Aidman and Robin Ward in The Twilight Zone (1985). This was the third screening of the show, but was cancelled after only one season.moreless

Host: (closing narration) The Winslows have finally taken back control of their family, but it cost them one teenage daughter - a deal brokered only in The Twilight Zone.
Host: (opening narration) Meet the Winslows: A family searching for a way to control their troubled teen. How far they're willing to go will take them to a gated community whose address can only be found in The Twilight Zone.

Death: But I should have known I was wasting my time. I'm not even alive.
Dr. Ferguson: Now what makes you think you're not alive, Mister... uh, what?
Death: I already told you. Death. You don't like that one, I answer to plenty of others. Anubis, Thanatos, Yeng-Wa, The Big Sleep, take your pick.

Death: Please. I took out the dinosaurs, he thinks a couple of belts are going to hold me?
Notes (43)
An episode of The X-Files (season 6) titled, interestingly enough, "Arcadia," revolved around several residents who had recently disappeared after failing to comply with the rules and regulations of the community they lived in. The synopsis of this episode is essentially the same, and "Arcadia" was the name on the side of the truck that took Amber Tamblyn's character away.
Interestingly enough, a year later in Amber Tamblyn's show, Joan of Arcadia, she goes to Arcadia High School.
Note the reference to "Maple Street", a possible allusion to the original TZ episode "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street".
This was the premiere episode, although it wasn't the first episode to be produced (that was "The Lineman (1)").
"Death" has been a prominent character throughout many previous versions of TZ, one of the best episodes to feature "Death" was "One For the Angels" in which Murray Hamilton as "Death" informed a sidewalk salesman (Ed Wynn) he would die at midnight. Other TZ episodes to feature "living" incarnations of Death include "Nothing in the Dark" starring a young Robert Redford, and "Stranger in a Dark Place" with Stephen McHattie in a story written by J. Michael Straczynski of Babylon 5 fame.
This was scheduled to be the third episode aired, but was moved to be the second of the two premiering episodes
The idea of a man's race magically transforming to force him to sympathize with others has been explored before in the original TZ episode "A Quality of Mercy," as well as in the first segment of Twilight Zone: The Movie.
The idea of a man creating his dream girl was explored in the original Twilight Zone episode, "A World of His Own."
Trivia (10)
When Jenna confronts her parents about stripping away all signs of her individuality, Julie says that she herself was made to remove her earrings. However, when Jenna woke up she was still wearing two rings on her right hand. Throughout the episode she is seen still wearing rings and earrings.
In the close-up of Jenna before she's put in the truck, the other Winslows follow and stand behind her to watch. In the next shot when Jenna is thrown inside, the Winslows walk up to the truck again.
Jay's last name is mispelled "Fergurson" in Death's book at the end.
Elizabeth Wicker was called Elizabeth Carter by the secretary at the beginning of the episode, then after Sean uncovers her real last name, he uses Wicker when calling the magazine and they never mention the name Carter, so why bring it up in the first place unless someone goofed!
When Marshall is walking up the path to see the new neighbors, we can see a white car parked in the drive next to the house. Earlier, when everyone first came out of their houses, there was no car parked there, and we just found out that the cars don't work.
At the neighborhood meeting when all the phones go off, and the power goes out, we see the window shatter and the punch bowl break. When the camera pans around after the shaking, we catch a glimpse of the punch bowl, fully intact, on the table, then see that the window is fine too.
Trivia: The game the Commander is playing is Halo (2001), where supersoldier Master Chief fights alien villains. It is on the Microsoft Xbox and PC.
Why do Shannon and (once he knows what's going on) Mario keep calling Harry "Harry"? He's not Harry - he's John Holland. Holland is mentioned at the beginning but after that the fact he's the guy in charge is totally ignored.

Rebels internationals set to sign off
ESPN Staff
May 22, 2013
Welsh international Gareth Delve has made an impact with the Rebels both on and off the field © Getty Images
Melbourne Rebels will part ways with international players Gareth Delve and Ged Robinson at season's end, with both foundation players fulfilling their three-year commitments with the club.
With more than 80 Super Rugby Caps between them, the Welsh international and Junior All Black will part the Rebels with a lasting legacy. Delve won the Club's "Pursuit of Excellence Medal" in 2012 and Robinson claimed the "Spirit of Weary Dunlop Medal" in his rookie season.
Rebels CEO, Rob Clarke, spoke of Delve and Robinson's contributions to the club as a significant one, going well beyond the full-time whistle.
"The Rebels were very grateful that the ARU (Australian Rugby Union) allowed special dispensation for Ged and Gareth to remain at the club beyond their two-year window, as part of the international marquee rulings," Clarke said.
"Gareth has been an inspirational leader since he arrived from the UK in 2010. We all know the impact Gareth has had on the rugby field, but what many people don't realise is the significant impact he has had within the Victorian Rugby community, travelling throughout Victoria promoting rugby, visiting schools, clubs and local charities. He has been a true leader in the Five Star Engagement program.
"Ged arrived and quickly stated himself as the club's standout rake. He has been a fantastic player and very passionate about the game here in the community and has really embraced Melbourne, playing in the local Dewar Shield Competition with Harlequins and supporting Diabetes Victoria, a charity that is very close to his heart."
Rebels Head Coach Damien Hill echoed similar sentiments about the pair.
"One of the club's finest moments was seeing Gareth take the field in his beloved Welsh colours in Canberra. The fact that so many Melbourne supporters travelled to see him play shows the impact he has had on this city," Hill said. "Knowing them both, they will want to leave this club winners and they have plenty more to play for, with the Lions match in June, and three local derbies against teams we have not beaten."
The in-form Robinson spoke of his love for the club and the city of Melbourne, with his ambition to play for his country the contributing factor in returning home to New Zealand.
"It is a boyhood dream to play for the All Blacks, so I want to go back and give it a crack and put my name in the hat," Robinson said. "I would hate to look back on life and say I had a chance but didn't give it a go, so we will see how I get on over there. Playing regularly here has given me so much more confidence as a player and a person, and I am just so grateful to everybody at the Rebels for the opportunity presented to me."
Robinson and Delve will join Nick Phipps and Wallaby tourist Richard Kingi who confirmed he will leave Australian rugby to play for French glamour club, Stade Francais, along with James King who also heads abroad.
"Richard is a very special player, his versatility is like no other in Australian rugby," Clarke said. "He has been part of many great moments in this club's short history and we were all very disappointed to see his season cut short through injury last month."

AdWords Express has been a super powerful tool we've used to get more new clients for our creative agency. It's gotten to the point where we turn it on / off as needed. On = contact form submissions almost instantly start rolling in. Off = schedule is full and we're saturated with work. If you've never heard of it, it's Google's "smart", automatic version of AdWords that's for people like me who hate keyword research and would rather bang my
Rocking your first year as a freelance designer (Months 1 & 2)
in Freelancing
Honest thought: I love fresh pieces of online advice just as much as the next guy. Especially if they're about business. Especially if they're actionable. There's no rose without a thorn, though, and much of the stuff you can find out there is aimed at folks that already have their systems set in place. For instance, if I have a good working machine for getting freelance design leads then any tip on how to make it more efficient is gold to me! But
4 Big freelancing mistakes I've made and what to learn from them
in Client Advice, Freelancing
Whether you're a new freelancer, a freelancer-to-be, or a freelancer with a few (okay, a lot of) years under your belt, one of the most efficient ways to learn is from mistakes…preferably some someone else's. But that's not always easy to talk about. (How many peers do you feel comfortable asking about their biggest mistake(s)? Chances are, not very many, if at all.) So here's a list of my biggest mistakes I wish I had learned from someone else (hopefully,
Three client-types that are guaranteed to bring tons of business

Last time I checked, 74% of our new business came from word of mouth referrals. That's just downright staggering isn't it? Pretty much three quarters of our clients came from people jibbering on about how awesome we are (or something to that effect, we'll just go with that to stroke my ego okay?) You do good work, you deliver great results, clients rave about you and you get more great clients. And so continues the blissful cycle of never having
How we solved almost EVERY problem a freelancer can face

One of the most powerful lessons I've ever learned came from my first mentor, my half-brother Steve. I called him complaining about some clients and the crazy revisions they wanted and he said… "You know, dude… When stuff like this happens, there's really no one to blame. It just means you're missing a system to deal with it." And he was right. We'd never outlined any sort of revision process with our clients at that point in time. We never

In my last post I got into the basics of selling the heck out of your design services. That post left off with how to shift the conversation from email to phone. Why? Because on the phone, you're going to sell more high-ticket items with much greater ease. And low-ticket items are a piece of cake. (All that and more is explained in the last post, here.) Today, I'm going to talk about how to handle your phone calls with
How I found the perfect work/relaxation balance as a freelancer
in Entrepreneurship, Freelancing
So you're having yet another 12-hour long work day. Just like yesterday, and with very little hope for tomorrow to be any different. Sounds familiar? What happened? Wasn't freelancing supposed to be this dream job allowing you to work whenever you want and wherever you want? How did you let this overworking thing happen? This will be something uncommon for a blog author to say, but I really hope that the above resonates with just a small part of you.

Tiny Little Eggplants...
First year in FL from IN, and so far my garden is a "mixed bag"... some things better than ever... others not so much. Problem 1 - EGGPLANT. Planted two kinds (Hybrid Twilight & Florida High Bush). Beautiful plants! But fruits are TINY. Delicious when bright and shiny, but they go to bronze and tough at less than half size. Planted seed around Jan 1 and in the ground Mar 15. Full of blooms, setting fruit well... but quick and tiny produce. Recommendations? "Par for the course" here? HELP!
Hi Pastor Steve
Welcome to the Florida garden forum!
I don't have experience with those eggplants that you mention but I prefer small eggplants rather than huge ones full of seeds or bitter. Did you amend the soil before planting? They also like to be watered often same like tomatoes. If you want to try another variety, there is still time to get some oriental ones, they always produce well for me and they are available at the big box stores.
Interesting. I just asked exactly the same question about my Black Beauty eggplant in another gardening forum. (No replies yet.)
I have the healthiest, lushest eggplant bush I have ever had. It is loaded up with buds, blooms and setting fruit. And today I had to pick the first one because it was starting to turn dull. It was only 3 oz, just a little bigger than an egg.
It's growing in an Earthbox, so it has consistent nutrition and moisture. No disease or bug damage.
I am scratching my head on this one. Is it possible that I need to thin the blooms/fruits? I've never heard of thinning eggplant, but I can't think of anything else that would cause undersized fruit on a gloriously healthy plant.
If you're planting in ground @ a new house, how can you know what's in the soil - perhaps weedkillers, etc.were used? It's unfortunately not uncommon here in FL for folks & their yard services to nuke the heck out things to make pretty landscaping.
I've had probs w/ Earthbox & fruiting plants too - we grew grape & pear tomatoes & tho plants grew lushly & flowered profusely, not many of the blooms set fruit & it wasn't very tasty either. My hunch is the fertilizer that comes w/ the EBs is not appropriate for fruiting plants...lacking adequate phosphorus?
Hmm...I don't use the soil or fertilizers sold by the EB people. This box was filled with MG potting mix with 2 cups of pulverized limestone mixed throughout. I used granular 10-10-10 for the fertilizer band. This is exactly the same setup I've always used and I haven't had a problem with undersized eggplant fruits before. Mine have never gotten quite to the huge sizes you see in the stores, but they were plenty big enough for slicing and stuffing.
By the way, the eggplant is setting fruit well. Time will tell if these later fruits are also small; the one fruit was from a bloom that opened almost two weeks before any others did. (Maybe it was inadequately pollinated?)
Also, the bell peppers I am growing in the adjacent Earthboxes with exactly the same setup are doing great, lush and healthy, loaded up with nice big peppers. I can't say how they taste yet, since they are still green.
You could be right that the eggplant is lacking phosphorus, but I am not sure why the problem would crop up this year when it hasn't before. If the next few fruit are also small, I can supplement phosphorous and see if it makes a difference in the later fruits.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for the help. The plants are the best I've ever grown, about 18" apart, but close to the tomatoes. The blooms are still coming on, but if you don't grab the small ones at shiny purple/black, they're going bronze and green the next day! Next time I'll try them further out and do a bit more research on the best FL varieties... Good news is my tomatoes are almost to the 'bragging' stage... I've never had plants put on loads of fruit like this. The earlier ones just starting to ripen and are tasting great. If the rest just go on without problems, this first try will be a win. Looking forward to sticking my nose here in the forum and learning as I go. All the help appreciated...
Hi there! I'm in Arizona and found this thread through a web search about the same problem. Has anyone found a solution yet? My sole plant is four years old and has always been a very heavy producer. This year the fruits are turning yellow while they're still very small, too small to eat. I've only been able to harvest one edible one this season. Right now she's got at least 20 fruit on her and is still covered with blossoms and growing new branches. In all honesty, the only fertilizer she's ever gotten is fish emulsion and that's only been two or three times in the four years of her life. I'm going to go ahead and remove all the small yellow fruits and give her some "food" and see what happens. Please update if you've gotten any results! Thanks!
This cause & effect is going to sound very very strange indeed......
Because of the solar cycle of high sunspot activity with it's peak in 2012 it is affecting certain plants in strange ways. You will notice the complaints are coming in from all across the country. The best way to limit the 'sunspot' effect is to lightly shade your eggplants with a bit of window screen suspended above the plants. This limits the effects of the 'sunspot' rays hitting the fruit on the plants.
You can buy the window screen at Lowe's or Home Depot.
Try it and see....
Well, I haven't done anything and I just harvested a second fruit that was about a half-pound. Still nowhere near grocery store size, but big enough to be worth slicing and grilling, or stuffing. If they start consistently coming in at that size, I will probably just let it be. If I start getting more of those 3-ouncers, I may try light shade like Lou suggested or a phosphorous supplement like Carol suggested.
Lou, about the sunspot cycle, did you experience or witness these problems at the last solar peak? The last solar cycle was more active than this one, so if there's merit to the sunspot theory, problems should have been evident then. (Not trying to knock you, I am just a natural skeptic.)
L in FL,
During the last sunspot cycle I was still busy with the move to my Florida farm (no garden) so I cannot reference that. When I hear people in different parts of the country with the same complaints and they have grown eggplants year after year I ask what could be the common cause of small fruits not limited to local weather. I've also noticed smaller fruits on my plants with no departure to the way I grow them. People not having problems could have partial shading naturally (trees, bldg, etc.). I could only come to one conclusion (there may be other factors). Window screen shading for mid day sun is a very cheap solution test worth a try so I suggested trying it.
Since mine are in an Earthbox, I might be able to move them near a small tree I have. (That would be free, which is even better than cheap, right?) I need to scout the shade it casts during the day tomorrow and make sure the spot I have in mind will work. With the summer getting even hotter, a couple of hours of midday shade is probably good for them anyway.
My plant is at the canopy edge of a large tree and gets shade from mid-day to late afternoon, so I don't think that's the problem. We have had some temperature fluctuations in the 15+ degree range up and down over the past month, so that could definitely be a factor. I'm leaning toward the plant just being generally overtaxed and will be adding some compost and seaweed or fish emulsion, as well as removing most (if not all) of the fruit currently on it. We'll go from there...
This is my second year growing eggplants and we are having the same problem with two different varieties. The only difference I can see is that this year there are many more blossoms and fruit on the plants at the same time. I wonder if thinning is the way to make them grow larger. Last year it seemed like there was no more than five in various stages at a time. This year closer to twenty.

Overall I would say this product is excellent and very versatile, I just can't wait to use it when camping!
As a bonus, with the lantern removed and utilizing the camera adapter, the tripod legs can be used to hold a point-and-shoot camera.
Therefore, it only works inside the lamp enclosure (as the enclosure itself will keep the battery cover closed).

Someone in the article compares it to federal minimum wage, and I think that is a good comparison. Should the government be able to regulate how much or how little we each get paid? If so, why can't they regulate how many sick days we get?
I dont think the federal government should be able to tell an employer how much an employee should be paid, but thats a discussion for another day. I
d much rather have the policy my company has of personal days that can be used for anything you want, rather then have a certain number of them set aside that I can only use if I am sick and for no other reason. If an employer wants to offer sick days thats fine and can even be an advantage in getting people to work there, but that should be the choice of the employer if they want to offer that benefit.
My company does both. We have 10 days set aside for anything we want (sick days, optional days, bereavement, whatever), and we also have 10 vacation days. At times it makes no sense to me why we would have two separate groups.

First, let me start by saying that I am cognizant of the fact that neither peanuts nor chickpeas are nuts.
Both are legumes, but they possess a certain nutty quality. And not just because they think "Jaws 2" was better than the original and sandals with socks are a good look.
So Thanksgiving dinner has been served, eaten, and cleaned up. Most of the relatives have gone home, and you're reclining, semi-comatose, on the sofa. Then Aunt Minnie from Altoona begins talking about Christmas shopping, and she Wants.To.Start.Tonight.

Recently, I've learned something.
I've realized why my mom is so eager to have Petey and me visit, and why she doesn't like it when we show up late, or leave early.
Normally my spouse and I enjoy each other's company, and lead a relatively strife-free existence. But right now, I'm a little bit ticked off at Petey.
It's well known that I'm no fan of the energy draining heat and humidity of our North Carolina summer. I watch for the subtlest of changes to leaf colors the way a middle school boy looks for whiskers on his upper lip.
Even though it was a dog biscuit, anything that smells that good baking has got to taste amazing, right?
Well, we'll see.
Y'know, I should probably back up a bit here.
I've always felt that there are two kinds of people who frequent tea parties (not counting little kids and their guests drinking imaginary tea out of thimbles).
First, genteel ladies and gentlemen who like to get dressed up, and be around other fancy types. I don't know a whole lot of those people; I mainly hobnob with the sweat suit set.
The sad, grubby little clipping had been stuck on the fridge forever. I'd torn the recipe from some magazine months, or even a year ago.

That was the Newtonian-level reasoning behind Olive Garden's policy of cooking pasta in unsalted water.

The Jordan Education Initiative Michelle Selinger, Cisco Systems 1. Background The Jordan Education Initiative (JEI) commenced in June 2003 as a public private partnership involving the Government of Jordan, the international private sector, local private sector, NGOs and donors under the auspices of the World Economic Forum's Global Education Initiative (GEI). It ran until November 2006 in this format, and has now been established as a NPO with an all Jordanian staff (http://www.jei.org.jo). The principal contact is Haif Bannayan, who serves as Executive Director of the JEI. The initiative was focused around improving education in 100 Discovery Schools, developing the technology industry and providing effective life long learning for Jordanian citizens. Education is a key catalyst and enabler for social and economic development in countries throughout the world. Recognizing this, business leaders from the IT and telecommunications sectors at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in 2003 presented the World Economic Forum with a mandate to launch an action-oriented initiative to leapfrog education reform in a selected pilot developing country using a new framework for public-private collaboration and partnership. Jordan, with a committed, clear, and aggressive strategy for education reform was selected as the pilot country for the learning initiative. Formally launched in June 2003 at the Extraordinary Meeting of the World Economic Forum at the Dead Sea, the JEI aims at accelerating education reform through a public-private partnership model that drives innovation and capability. The Initiative was developed in partnership between the Government of Jordan and the World Economic Forum and to date incorporates over 17 global corporations, 17 Jordanian entities, and 11 governmental and non-governmental organizations as stakeholders in achieving its goals. 2. Goals Poor in natural resources and lacking a well-developed industrial base, Jordan is dependent on human resources to drive its economy. Despite some recent growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita remained low and, with 38% of Jordan's population under 15 years of age, current rates of job creation were not rapid enough to provide employment opportunities for the next generation of workers. Unemployment was likely increasingly to become an issue unless action was taken. In response to these challenges, the government of Jordan, with support from the World Bank and international donors, implemented the major Educational Reform for a Knowledge Economy (ERfKE) to create the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for the global market. The program's objectives include curriculum reform, teacher training, adoption of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as an enabler of learning, and upgrading school ICT infrastructure. To strengthen this government-led reform, John Chambers, Cisco CEO, invited business leaders at a World Economic Forum meeting in January 2003 to join Cisco in creating a high- quality education program that would harness technology to reduce the gap between developed and developing countries. The Jordan Education Initiative was subsequently launched in June 2003 and gained support of 45 organizations, including local and international companies such as 1 Cisco, Computer Associates, Microsoft, Intel and HP, Jordanian government departments, global government donors and NGOs. The goals set for JEI were to achieve educational reform in order to develop a knowledge economy, stimulate economic growth and provide future employment opportunities. The Jordan Education Initiative aimed to do this by: • Improving the delivery of education to Jordan citizens through public-private partnerships; • Enhancing the quality of education through the effective use of technology; • Building the capacity of the local technology industry • Creating a global education program model for replication in other countries 3. Inputs The Jordan Education Initiative (JEI) developed new models of technology-empowered education and built local competences to scale and sustain those models nationally. Its challenge is to achieve a step change in learning outcomes matched to the current and emerging competence requirements of the global economy. JEI also needs to test its innovative public- private partnership model to make it replicable across the developing world. The 45 organizations involved in JEI worked together to transform the experience of learners at all levels and achieve a highly educated workforce able to compete more effectively in the 21st-century economy. JEI also aims to advance lifelong learning and to foster development of the local ICT industry. In this way, JEI could position Jordan strongly as a burgeoning knowledge economy in the global market, helping the Jordanian government achieve its vision of education as a catalyst for socio-economic development. To facilitate the expansive and complementary aims of ERfKE and JEI, the government installed a National Broadband Learning and Research Network that will connect 1.5 million people at schools, colleges, universities, and community centres via fibre optics. JEI was conceived as a fast-track project first executed across 100 specially selected 'Discovery Schools'. A small project management office (PMO) was set up and, in consultation with the Ministries of ICT and Education, the PMO developed a policy of holistic educational change through electronic content, teacher training, and technology - all within a controlled change management process. This initial phase was intended to inform the future nationwide program and to demonstrate what can be achieved when the corporate sector work together in a holistic way with a government The e-curricular development strategy was a main focus for JEI and centred on improving the quality of education through interactive, media-rich content. ICT would help to communicate complex concepts to students more effectively, build confidence, encourage critical thinking and applied learning, to instil motivation for learning, and to support individual learning styles. Relevant and quality content was perceived as the key to education together with well trained teachers to unlock students' potential. The JEI pedagogical approach was to be based on collaborative learning models and supported by a curriculum aligned with the best in the world. ICT was to be integrated throughout the teaching and learning process, to raise the quality of lessons, student tasks, assessments, and feedback. Teacher-led learning in the classroom, supported by teacher laptops and data projectors would enable technology to support 80% of student learning time. This model was selected in preference to the computer lab which provides one-to-one learning but also gives far less overall access to technology. However computer labs were also provided for further consolidation of individual learning. Teachers would be trained in a 'blended learning' approach, and shown a range of ways in which they could integrate ICT into everyday classroom teaching so that students 2 can have increased exposure to high-quality learning resources including multimedia simulations and video clips. 4. Implementation The PMO were the day to day link with the government officials, the schools and the partners and the donors. The 100 Discovery Schools covered the whole of the school age range from years 1 to 12, The PMO was staffed by a small team that went from four to eight including 2 secondees from Cisco, one to support the in-classroom technology implementation and one part time to help drive curriculum integration, links with ERfKE and teacher development. The program manager was seconded to the project by Computer Associates. Cisco also brought in a program strategist to help architect the fundamentals of the program, including the strategies for use of technology and electronic content, organising the project management office, setting up an independent evaluation, and managing change. Alongside Microsoft, Intel and HP, Cisco has also contributed to the establishment of a Schools Technology Innovation Centre which is developing and showcasing new learning solutions. The PMO ran 6 monthly update meetings and reported to an executive steering committee which was latterly chaired by the Queen of Jordan. Weekly meetings were held with the stakeholder committee who oversaw the everyday operations of the JEI. A Master Plan was also developed that looked at each stage of e-curricular development, piloting and roll-out. The program structure is outlined in the Figure below: Independent Stakeholder Committee Academic Advisory Evaluation Board Executive Steering Learning Impact Committee PPP Program Management Office (PMO) E-Curricula Training In-Classroom Change Lifelong ICT Industry Technology Management Learning Development Discovery Schools JEI Program Structure JEI developed e-curricula for key subjects: mathematics, science, ICT, Arabic, civics and English, each sponsored by a private sector partner. Local companies were used for software development, ensuring local ownership and accountability, and also facilitating the transfer of knowledge and capacity to Jordan. These companies in turn employed Jordanian teachers to help create the e-curricula. Building the capacity of the local ICT industry ensures the development of future innovative learning solutions and thus the sustainability of the reform. To ensure some uniformity of experience and that the e-curricula met the ideals for curriculum development, Cisco funded expertise to create a set of curriculum guidelines and standards Cisco also initiated and funded the first of the e-curricula – 'Mathematics Online' - and the Cisco Learning Institute (CLI) developed the content with Rubicon, a Jordanian IT company. CLI's experience from the Cisco Networking Academy played an important role in the creation of Mathematics Online. Approximately 30 Jordanian teachers and supervisors, who were assigned by the Jordanian Ministry of Education to work on the development of the mathematics e-curriculum, received training and support from Cisco education specialists Cisco Learning Institute and 3 Rubicon. In September 2004, Mathematics Online was deployed across the Discovery Schools in grades 1 to 12. 5. Outcomes Overall five main success factors can be identified from the JEI experience: • Experience of dealing with large corporations through the development of Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships and in educational reform; • The Ministries of Education and ICT have gained expertise around the implementation of technology based learning solutions influenced strongly by the JEI partners; • There has been an acceleration in the deployment of internet connectivity and computers in schools; • The JEI has helped the Ministry of Education to gain a greater understanding of the importance of linking the training programmes available to teachers and staffed by Jordanians with proper funding support; • The e-curricula have drawn attention to the blending of traditional learning resources and have exposed teachers to new ways of teaching and have raised awareness of the potential of using ICT to enhance learning and to improve the quality of the learning experience. Probably the single most important factor for the success of the JEI at the school level was its anchorage within two major existing national programs (ERfKE and the National Broadband Learning and Research Network (NBN)). In contrast, the relative failure of the JEI Lifelong Learning track was probably largely due to the fact that potential partners (both international and local) were not able to tie their offerings to an established national agenda even though there was a physical network of publicly accessible "Knowledge Stations" across the country that provided a great starting point for the program. The local ICT industry will gain new revenue sources if the electronic teaching materials created in Jordan are sold to other countries. Developing local ICT businesses ensures the sustainability of the solutions implemented in JEI and furthers the national economy. A McKinsey Report ('Building Effective Public-Private Partnerships: Lessons Learnt from the Jordan Education Initiative. An Initiative of the World Economic Forum', 2005) estimates that approximately US$3.7 million has been transferred from global partners to local companies as a direct result of JEI programs. There have also been indirect benefits as JEI has encouraged global companies to take a closer look at Jordan by creating a favorable environment for investment. For example, in August 2004 Cisco Systems formed a strategic partnership with Estarta Solutions to develop a Cisco Technical Support Center in Amman, Jordan, that will serve enterprise customers in Europe and the Middle East. Approximately US $ 22m was spent on the JEI either though financial contributions or in kind payments with funding streams obtained from stakeholder in the proportions indicated in Table 1. 4 . Local Private Sector NGOs Jordan Govt Global Private Sector International Donors A baseline study was undertaken, but it was too late and was also incomplete. However, here have been a number of small studies of the impact of the final products by the e-curricula developers and the Academic Advisory Board carried out interviews with key stakeholders in March 2006 which was reported back to the executive committee and at an update meeting of the JEI in June of that year. This carried a number of recommendations that would help improve the outcomes of the JEI and included more work on change management particularly with Discovery School principals. Monitoring is undertaken through the stakeholder committee and led by deliverables of the JEI Master Plan. A thorough impact assessment funded by USAID has been scoped out with the PMO focusing primarily on student achievement in core curricular subjects and in the process investigating the impact on teachers, administrators and the overall education system. This is being led by the US-based organisation, EDC. A quick impact assessment of Mathematics Online is being carried out by a local company, To-Excel, in order to obtain a snapshot impact assessment of deploying e-content. The results of this study were meant to have been available in May 2007. 5.
