3 Musketeers Cherry & Raspberry
Mars has done everything it can with Skittles (chocolate anyone?), Twix (a home run with the Java!) and Snickers so they've moved on to the 3 Musketeers.
Last fall they introduced the seasonal Autumn Mini Mix that had Strawberry, French Vanilla and Mocha Cappuccino. I was quite surprised that I liked the Strawberry and was rather excited to hear of the new flavors coming out this year: Cherry 3 Musketeers for Valentine's Day and Raspberry 3 Musketeers for Easter.
Like the new 3 Muskteers Mint (not a limited edition item), these are covered in dark chocolate.
I admit that I approached these with a bit of trepidation. I'll also admit that my strong dislike of cherry flavored candies has dissolved into the "don't prefer" column. I eat cherry things in service of my reviews and sometimes when no one is looking.
This little morsel is quite cute. They smell very strongly of maraschino, even before I bit into it. They center on this one is very strongly pink, almost fuschia courtesy of my nemesis Red 40.
The center is fluffy and has the slightest salty hit to it that offsets what is otherwise an ordinary cherry flavored fluff. The dark chocolate shell is pretty thin, but passably creamy.
There are a few varieties of the little wrappers for the individual candies. Some are pink, some are silver with little hearts. They also feature little "conversation" sayings like, "Hug Me", "Be Mine" and "Crazy 4U". Kind of fun, though until I read the package I didn't realize they were there.
When I was offered this preview of the new 3 Musketeers flavors by some PR folks for Mars, it was the prospect of trying the Raspberry 3 Musketeers without having to search five or six stores to find them.
The format here is the same, dark chocolate covering a raspberry flavored fluff center.
The package here specifies that it's a Limited Edition item and has some crocus on the front in addition to the freakishly glossy raspberry close-ups.
The individual pieces are also pink, though two different shades. They don't have any sayings on them, as I don't think Easter really lends itself to such things and usually sticks with symbols of spring like bunnies, chicks and eggs.
These do not smell quite as strongly as the Cherry ones, but are still sweet and fragrant. The scent is rather like flowers and a bit like berries with a little woodsy component that I can only say smells like raspberry seeds. It also smells like chocolate, hooray!
The interior fluff is only lightly lavender (Red 40 and Blue Lake 5 in here!). It has the same fluffy texture, very sweet but with a good airy melt on the tongue. The raspberry flavor is all on the sweet side, no tangy bite.
I preferred the Raspberry by a longshot, but I still think as a fruit 3 Musketeers go, I liked the Strawberry from last fall best. I think these work well as minis, but I doubt I would be able to stomach a full sized bar or even the pair of smaller bars like the Mint 3Musketeers in these flavors. The small size is ideal.
Honestly I would have preferred a mix of flavors like the Autumn Mini Mix. Strawberry, Raspberry and Cherry all in one bag would have suited me fine.
I've heard from readers that the Cherry ones are now appearing in stores with the Valentines merchandise, so keep your eyes peeled. The Raspberry should go on store shelves after Valentines (but you never know, I found Russell Stover Maple Eggs in with the Christmas stuff at Walgreen's this year).
UPDATE 2/17/2009: The Cherry & Raspberry returned for 2009. Raspberry is on the shelves with the Easter merchandise.

Hershey's Mint Truffle Kisses
As I tried to document back in October, there are about 100 different varieties of Hershey's Kisses, all issued this year in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Kiss. Some are inventive new flavor combinations, some are rather poor executions of good ideas and still others are just different wrappers.
While it appears that Hershey's has not reintroduced their seasonal favorite, the Mint Kisses, they did do a wide release of the Mint Truffle Kisses. They're obviously a winter or holiday item with the snowflakes on the package. While I've been looking around for the vexingly hard to find Malt Crunch, I've had no trouble finding the Mint Truffle, so I waited to buy them at the best price.
The Kisses come in either a silver foil with green writing or green foil with silver writing. Inside there's a minted dark chocolate shell with a light green minted truffle filling.
As with many of the other filled Kisses, these are a little greasy on the outside. (The Coconut Creme were huge offenders on this front.) They feel a bit cool on the tongue, that could be the huge dose of peppermint going on there but they also melt pretty easily as well. The truffle center isn't super smooth, it's more like a really soft and creamy mint frosting. It has a bit of a salty note to it, much more noticeable than the chocolate shell, this cuts through what would probably be a super-sweet Kiss. I like the little pop it gives it.
There are no partially hydrogenated oils in here but 40% of your RDA of saturated fats in just 9 Kisses. This bag also seems to be more generous than some. It has 11 ounces in it, most recent bags of limited edition Kisses are 8.5 ounces (of course that could just be the size that the other stores I frequent choose to carry).

Junior Mints Peppermint Crunch
I was really excited about the idea of Peppermint Crunch Junior Mints. Then I started reading the package and somehow it was pushing all my irritation buttons.
First, the description: Real Junior Mints (tm) made with a real candy crunch. Are there fake Junior Mints (tm) out there ... is this an issue? There are other dark chocolate peppermints out there, sure, but is there anything that's trying to occupy the Junior Mints (tm) niche? What makes them Junior Mints anyway? Is it the dark chocolate and flowing fondant? Because the Junior Mints Deluxe had the Junior Mints name. So it's not size or proportion.
The thing I have the real hangup on is the "CRUNCH!" that they advertise. The little image on the box shows what looks like a Starlight mint, which is basically a hard candy with peppermint flavoring ... they're good crunched up and put in things (see my list o' uses for Candy Canes). At first I though they were nonpareils, which are little spheres of sugar found on SnoCaps.
But on closer examination they weren't. They're too irregular. So I read the ingredients: Sugar, Semi Sweet Chocolate, Corn Syrup, Flaked Corn, Yellow Corn Flour, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Corn Starch, Confectioner's Glaze, Modified Food Starch, Peppermint Oil, Invertase, Invert Sugar Syrup, Artificial Color (Red 40) and Corn Syrup Solids.
In an effort to figure out what these nibbles are, I've boldfaced those ingredients that are not found in regular Real Junior Mints (tm). Seems like we have some red polenta or something. Definitely not crushed Starlight Mints (like those little candy flakes on the Peeps Peppermint Stars). One thing I'm quite sure of, they're not that tasty. They don't dissolve like a bit of candy crunch should, but they do remain crunchy no matter how long you roll them around in your mouth!
They just don't look that good. They look like they fell in something. I like traditional Junior Mints, they're pretty! Usually so slick and dark, these are lumpy and malformed. The taste is pretty much the same but the crunch isn't crunchy enough, doesn't add any pep to the whole thing. If it was real candy (you know something that you'd actually buy and eat separately ... tell me you'd eat flaked corn, yellow corn flour, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and corn syrup solids!) then I think they'd have something. I haven't been particular fond of the other versions of Junior Mints so far: Pastel, Inside Out or Heart Shaped (only because the red ones tasted weird). I think I'll just stick with the Real Junior Mints from now on.
Nicole of Baking Bites reviewed them earlier this month.

Andes Mints & Dessert Indulgence
One of my favorite candies as a teen were Andes Creme De Menthe Thins.
I'd buy them by the tray, which was usually about 99 cents at the IGA that I rode my bike past on my way home from my art class on weekends. They seemed a suitable treat for a budding artist. Wrapped in pretty foil ... named for a mountain range in Peru, but called by the French liquor flavor creme de menthe. At that time in my life I despised alcohol, except for a drizzle of Creme de Menthe on vanilla ice cream.
Over the years those tray package became more expensive and they started putting fewer candies in there. I recently bought a box for $1.00 and it had a scant 2 ounces in it ... but hey, it was back to the original price point! The candy is mockolate with a mint confection in the middle. They make a pretty cross section of dark looking chocolate flavored coating and the light green stuff in the middle. They have a cool feeling on the tongue and of course a pleasant mintiness that doesn't overwhelm.
Restaurants that serve them with the bill may even be perceived as classy. (Well, it's classier than getting nothing at all!) The Tootsie site even claims that Andes Mints are the number one selling after dinner mint. I wonder what the number one before dinner mint is? I give them a solid 6 out of 10 as an adult, but back when I was a kid they were probably an 8 out of 10.
Andes has come out with a few other versions over the years ... none that I've tried. But I saw a display of the new Andes Dessert Indulgence at the All Candy Expo and was fixed up with ample samples. The Limited Edition Dessert Indulgence array comes in an 8.5 ounce bag with an assortment of three flavors: Raspberry Cream, Lemon Meringue and Key Lime.
Each piece is individually sealed in a plastic wrapper instead of wrapped in foil. They're substantially bigger than a standard Andes Mint as well. Why? I have no idea. But the base ingredients are still the same: sugar and partially hydrogenated oils.
Key Lime has only two layers, a base of light green and then a top level of a lighter green with little flavor crystals which is kind of like faux zest. The scent is fresh, like limes. However, as most folks who have had both key limes and more commonly used Persian lime there is a difference. Key Limes have a deeper flavor and a strange thick consistency to their juice. Persian limes have a high intensity and clear flavored tartness and a wonderfully bitter zesty flavor. This tastes like Persian lime ... or Lime Blossom candles.
Lemon Meringue flavor should be characterized by a nice tart custard with a balancing toasted meringue that is less that a sweet complement and more of a fluffy cooling bath for the mouth. The Lemon smelled, like the lime, a bit floral and pleasant enough for me to want to stick a wick in it. The texture evoked similar feelings, as it wasn't nearly as creamy as I'd hoped. It did have a pleasant tartness to it, but not that toasted, almost marshmallow flavor to complement it.
Raspberry Cream was such a disappointment. It smelled really strong ... too strong. The ingredient list does boast "freeze dried raspberry puree" and I have no doubt about that. The waxy texture and overly sweet start is then met by a strong taste of chopsticks ... or dried grass clippings. I know what the taste is, it's raspberry seeds. It's that taste you get when you puree unstrained raspberries and the seeds get in there, but in this case they became a really noticeable flavor. Hey, maybe it added some fiber!
Sometimes I like "white confections" but in this case, I felt pretty sick after eating five of them while typing them up (I've had about 10 total since I took the photos over the weekend). They just didn't sit well with me. I really wanted them to be something else, which is always a bad idea. I should just accept them unconditionally for what they are. But they don't have cocoa butter in them and the flavors are just ... well, not satisfying to me, not enough to get me to eat any more of them. So into the Limited Edition Giveaway they go! They only get a 4 out of 10.
Each piece contains 50 calories (regular Andes Mints have only 25 each).

Sixlets & Limited Edition Dark Chocolate Flavored Sixlets
Here's one of those candies that I only saw in my Trick-or-Treat haul: Sixlets. Oh sure, they were probably in stores that I frequented. They come in a variety of packets, including the "changemaker" size that holds eight little candy spheres and used to sell for a two cents.
The big reason I shunned Sixlets was I was never quite sure what they were. Are they like M&Ms? Are they candy coated peanuts? Are they a jawbreaker?
Eating them never really answered those questions. They definitely don't have nuts in them, but taste a little nutty. They're not like M&Ms, though there is a chocolate-like center. They're not jawbreakers, in fact the shell is pretty thin.
Sixlets are currently made by Oak Leaf, who makes bubble gum and other confections in Canada that are usually sold in bulk and dispensed in gumball machines that are sold by the handful. Before that they were made by Hershey's, which purchased the Ovation brand that made Sixlets under management of Leaf (they also made Whoppers, which Hershey's kept).
Sixlets are certainly cute. They come in vivid colors: Yellow, Green, Red, Orange and Brown. They're spherical and consistent looking, with a shiny candy shell. The center is a malty-flavored mockolate. Made from partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, sugar and milk protein, they're not really that appealing as a confectionery item to eat on their own. Cocoa powder is way down at the fifth position on the list of ingredients. The candy shells are pretty ordinary, except for the orange one, which has a light orange flavor to it (just as Smarties from the UK do). The mockolate barely has a chocolate taste, and the whole thing is a little grainy and a bit greasy.
What they lack in taste they more than make up for with economy and portion control. What other candy comes in little tubes of 8 pieces? Not to mention the fact that each little tube has only 35 calories!
Why Oak Leaf came out with the Limited Edition Dark Chocolate Flavored Sixlets is beyond me. The regular ones barely taste like chocolate and any health benefits of "dark chocolate" will be ruined by the use of partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.
The package is attractive, the Sixlets mascot is some sort of an insect ... well, maybe he's an insect, he only has four legs. And he wears glasses ... and wants us to eat one of his segments.
These little packets were unmarked. Just generic clear cellophane tubes with little unbranded spheres inside.
They are similarly attractive to their original counterparts, with a light brown shell in the mix instead of a yellow one. The orange is also orange flavored here as well.
The taste of the "dark chocolate" isn't really noticeably different from the regular Sixlets. They're just as disappointing as the regular Sixlets ... except that I paid for this whole bag (I picked the other little guys up at the All Candy Expo).
There are differing stories about why they're called Sixlets. The current packaging has them in tubes with 8 pieces or 20. Some folks say that they used to come in tubes that had six for a penny. Others say that they came in boxes that had six individual boxes in each package and that's how they were written up in the wholesale catalogs. It could be that someone just thought it sounded like a good name ... maybe they were into numerology. The number six represents "Reaction/flux. Responsibility" according to Wikipedia. If anyone else has any theories, I'm happy to entertain them.
Caitlin at Candy Addict has a great fondness for them and Bad-Candy.com, well, thinks they're bad.
Like them if you will ... just don't call them chocolate. They might be good for decorating ... the rest of these are going in the Trick-or-Treat bowl (don't worry, I'll give the kids something good and just slip these in while they're not looking).

Limited Edition Hot Cocoa Kisses
At All Candy Expo the Hershey's booth was highlighting their international flair in one corner giving out all sorts of Asian Kisses (a candy, not a different version of French Kisses) and bars. It's nice to feel so global and try them, but of course I wanted to know what we could get here in North America.
The Hot Cocoa Creme Kiss is the newest edition to the celebratory line of Limited Edition Kisses marking the 100th anniversary of the confection. I'm not sure if they're coming out with 100 versions or not, they may be getting close.
These molded Kisses sport light gold wrappers with gold wigglies on them. The little flag says Hot Cocoa instead of Hershey's Kisses.
I wasn't really sure what they were and the young woman at the Hershey's booth was really no help, but I snagged a cup of coffee and a few handfuls to take back to the Candy Blog labs to see if I could answer the questions myself.
Inside is a chocolate creme, not unlike the Chocolate Truffle Kiss (now a regular item) creme. Except this one was a little lighter in flavor, perhaps a touch of malt-taste and a little saltier. In fact, they are saltier than the Truffle Kiss, which has 45 mgs of salt per serving. The Hot Cocoa Kiss has 55 mgs of salt per serving. Just enough to be perceptible.
They don't do much for me. I think they're pretty, but I certainly wouldn't buy them. These are available in stores now (I saw them in Walgreen's over the weekend).
The ones that Sera and I were most excited about were the Matcha (Green Tea) Kisses that they had out for two days. They sport a green foil wrapper with darker green squiggly stripes.
I don't know what they're really called, as the little flag on them just said Hershey's Kisses. They smell like jasmine. The chocolate is sweet as is the creme center. The creme is distinctly salty at first, then develops into a grassy, green tea melody. Then comes the harsh truth of matcha ... a strong bitter note at the end that's barely cut by the sticky sweetness of the rest of the Kiss.
I found them interesting, again, a novelty that I don't know that I'd want to eat regularly. If I'm going to have something Matcha, I'm probably going to go upscale.
The other Kiss they were offering samples of was a Strawberry Creme Kiss. Again, I'm not sure if it's the right name as the little flag didn't say. The pink foil wrapper already smelled of strawberry. Like strawberry ice cream. The chocolate is sweet and the creme center had a nice authentic taste of strawberries. This center was, as well, a bit on the salty side. I kind of liked how that helped to focus the strawberry flavor.
The strawberry wasn't terribly strong and on some of them I missed it completely. It certainly tasted better than some of the other strawberry flavored efforts Hershey's has put forth in the past (but I admit that I liked the white chocolate Raspberry bar they did). Since I was pretty fond of the strawberry and chocolate ice cream from the Neapolitan mixes, this felt familiar and friendly.
Other Limited Edition Kisses you might see around, these may not have shown up yet or may have come and gone. I doubt I'll try them all, but feel free to pipe up in the comments if you think they're worthy:

Java Twix
One the much anticipated Limited Edition items at the All Candy Expo (at least for me) was the new Java Twix.
The cookie and caramel covered in chocolate combination is pretty flexible and creating new versions of this doesn't mess with the essential Twix-ness (just like there are many different cream and chocolate variations for the KitKat).
I've been searching for a good coffee flavored candy bar for years, for a country so obsessed with coffee it's rather surprising that we don't have one. (Yes, I'm aware of the Coffee Crisp and it just doesn't do it for me.)
The bar is the standard construction: a chocolate cookie with a stripe of coffee-flavored caramel covered in milk chocolate.
It smells sweet and a bit like caramel and graham crackers but not much like coffee at first.
Once broken in half and the caramel revealed it has a pleasant roasted-coffee aroma. The caramel is a bit salty with an actual authentic-tasting coffee flavor to it (in addition to the natural and artificial flavors they list espresso ground coffee as an ingredient). The chocolate cookie is crumbly and crunchy with it's own salty contribution. The milk chocolate on the outside is super sweet but pulls it together.
I didn't like the bar much when I first tried it out on the floor (I split a package with Ginny). But I have to admit that it was day two and I'd really only been eating candy for 36 hours (except for an awesome pile of shrimp at a party the night before).
But with the clarity of a lone bar on my desk without the clutter of a gagillion other flavors in my mouth and a billion other conversations flitting by on the show floor ... I really like this bar. I think it's the best Twix bar I've ever had. Yes, it's still a little sweet for me, but in combination with some nearly black coffee, it's growing on me.
You can expect these to start showing up later this year (reported release date is December 2007). In other news, if you were a fan of the Triple Chocolate Twix, it's actually back in the miniature form. Mars released a few "autumn mixes" this year (that included the Vanilla, Strawberry & Mocha 3 Musketeers). The Twix one has regular Twix, Twix Dark Chocolate and Twix Triple Chocolate. I found them at RiteAid in the Halloween candy aisle.
I hope the Twix Java at least finds its way into a seasonal bag ... and in dark chocolate please!
UPDATE 9/29/2009: Mars has announced that TWIX Java will become part of their permanent line of candies. You can expect them in stores starting in April 2010.

M&Ms Razzberry - Limited Edition
I'm a little late to this Limited Edition Milk Chocolate Razzberry M&Ms story, but mostly because I couldn't find them anywhere in Los Angeles. I tried all my usual haunts (RiteAid, Walgreen's, Von's, CVS, Target & 7-11) and finally found them Wednesday night at the Dollar Tree in Harbor City on my way to San Pedro.
The bag felt a little light, and it is. It's only 1.5 ounces instead of the usual 1.74 ounces for the Peanut variety or 1.69 ounces for the Milk Chocolate. (Of course the Pirate Pearls ones were similiarly scant.)
The bag is a pleasant hot pink and urges me to "Get Razzed" ... which as far as my understanding of the lingo that the kids use these days, that means, "Get Harassed." Okely Dokely!
At first when I dumped these out to take their photo I thought I got a bad bag. The color looks completely off. Now if you just handed me a bowl of them, I might say, "Oh, what a lovely muted pink color!" But because of the brightness of the package, this feels like it clashes, which makes me feel like it's unintended. But looking around at other photos on Flickr of the candies, it seems like they're supposed to be this way.
The size and shape is also irregular. Some are the same size as typical Milk Chocolate M&Ms and others are as big as the now-discontinued Mega M&Ms. I rather like the regularity of M&Ms when spread out on my desk when eating them, but these just didn't please me as much with their appearance.
The candies smell, like, well, someone spilled a bottle of raspberry after-bath spritz. I've spent a lot of time with fresh raspberries. When I was a kid, for several years when we lived in Ohio we had a raspberry patch in the back yard which was absurdly productive. While they weren't wild berries, they certainly weren't like the commercial ones sold in stores today. They were on the small side but bursting with flavor, a combination of sweet, tart and floral. By the time I was a teenager and we moved away, I was so spoiled by the real thing that I couldn't stand raspberry flavored things or bring myself to spend $5 for a teensy little portion of watery-tasting fresh berries at the grocery store.
The Milk Chocolate is okay, for some reason it tastes sweeter than the regular Milk Chocolate M&Ms (remember, I've eaten a lot of those lately), it could be the larger size of most of them that gave a bigger hit of the ordinary chocolate center. The chocolate simply wasn't creamy and I have to wonder if these were stored properly. Southern California experienced a wicked heat spell around Labor Day weekend and there were sporadic power outages all over which means that these could have bloomed in some way.
M&Ms stressed in their press releases about these that they're the first fruit flavored M&Ms ever given full distribution. (I guess they were ignoring those super exclusive fruity ones they did last year.) I'm sad that they didn't do orange, as I think that'd be a good place to start. It's easy to get an authentic orange flavor with chocolate. But then again these aren't raspberry M&Ms ... no, they're razzberry M&Ms, here to mock real raspberries (and us) with their fakeness.
Other views: Candy Addict gave them a mixed review and Gigi Reviews. If you like Raspberry Frangos, you'll probably like these.

Irwin 32 Citation
Hi, I just bought a 32 Citation. I can find only limited information on this model. My question is; the aluminum bars from the dodger are right in front of the winches, and they prevent you from useing the winch handles.. Is this factory or did some fool who knows nothing about sailing just put them there??
Sorry for not noticing your question earlier, but no that is not factory, that is an after thought of a PO. The only advantage is that you have a dodger (wish I had one) and the winches are two speed Lewmars where you can go back and forth.

Even if you are consistently posting the most prescient, insightful information on your social media profiles, people will likely notice your picture before they start paying attention to what you have to say. First impressions matter, and they are almost always visual.
Like it or not, you need a good profile picture – a picture of you, not your dog or your child or your favorite beach. And you need a quality picture – one that does not look like it was taken in a cave with a camera phone. If the first thing people see on your profiles is a turn-off, then they may never recognize the value that you have to offer through your professional activity and services.
Why put time into your profile picture?
You want to portray an accurate professional image. A good profile picture should achieve a balance between being eye-catching and appropriate for your industry and position. In the world of first impressions, there is such a thing as negative attention. Pictures that are poor quality or too casual can cast you in a negative light.
People may be looking for you. While it has become much less common on professional networks, some people still use pictures of things or animals instead of themselves. People you have met at networking events may be looking for you. If they do a search for John Smith that produces multiple results, some of which are trees and dogs, they will have to guess which profile belongs to you. Do not miss out on connections because of an inappropriate photo.
Humans are visual creatures. Most people think and remember primarily through visual cues. And most people also have very short attention spans. Giving people the right visual cues immediately is critical to getting their attention and gaining their trust.

Press Council of India Chairman Markandey Katju's recent comments on the necessity for minimum qualifications to be a journalist drew flak from many. He said in a press note, "Very often, persons with little or inadequate training in journalism enter the profession, and this often leads to negative effects, because such untrained persons often do not maintain high standards of journalism." He has now set up a committee to determine the minimum qualifications for a journalist.
According to him, given the scenario of journalism in India, it is time that some qualification is prescribed by the law. Some eminent journalists shot back saying that mastering journalism can happen only on the field. A small fraction does feel that a classroom approach with the right curriculum and pedagogy can make all the difference.
Here is what journalism students say they want from their classroom course.
Nishant Bharadwaj, M.A., St. Joseph's College, Bangalore
My experience as an intern threw me at the deep end of covering press meets on issues ranging from cloud computing to real estate. But with the help of the right mentor, it gave me the real-world, hands-on experience. While the basics may be gleaned in class, the finer nuances are learned on the job. I believe that theory can take you only as far as your first job; what you put into value addition is what is important. It is not the theory that matters, it depends on how well you apply the theory that you have learnt. I think the best way to improve a journalism course is through practical teaching only.
Priyanka M.B., B.A. Journalism, Jain College, Bangalore
I think it is important to provide awareness to people on what exactly is journalism and the opportunities in the field. There is a wrong notion that journalism is a dangerous job. Colleges must make it a point to stress on the need for practical knowledge more than theory. The whole theoretical system should focus on developing news and events around the world. What is the whole point of studying about Gutenberg and his printing machine when it is time to focus on new media? I think media law and ethics should be a part of the syllabus in a very serious manner. I think if budding journalists are aware of these ethics, then news value would not be sidelined. I believe that a course like journalism cannot be taught inside a classroom alone. If colleges can devote half-a-semester for practical learning, the quality of education can be improved.
Sarah Fazal, final year BA, Mount College, Bangalore
I don't want to study the theories of journalism or theories relating to how to write a good report or how to write a good feature. I think each student must have a good knowledge about the practical side of journalism rather than its theories. If I have to apply for a job, no one is going to ask me to list the main points that are to be considered while writing a feature. They will ask me to write the feature, so I think journalism must never concentrate on theories alone. I also feel that media colleges must conduct a media fest so that even non-journalism students can get to know how interesting the course is.
Suzania Sharma, MS Mass Communication, St. Joseph's College, Bangalore
Even though we have practical classes in each semester, I don't think that is enough. In the first year we had to write articles for our monthly newsletters and in the second semester we were taught the practical side of broadcast media. But I feel that these practical classes must be held for a specific time period. Journalism cannot be restricted to writing articles alone and it is important to go out on to the field and report incidents as a part of the curriculum. As a part of external assessments, practical work of this kind must be practised. I also feel that professors teaching journalism must have practical experience. For me what you learn in class is not the reality. So, for academic purpose, theory is important but when practical work is included, the course becomes interesting and wholesome.
Sanjana Raju, BA, Christ College, Bangalore
I feel it is important to focus more on theory as it gives detailed description of the subject. Practical aspect is also necessary but it can be balanced along with theory. Every college gives an opportunity for its students to have practical knowledge through internship, so theory must be learned well. But I feel that more workshops and industrial visits must be provided by the college so that students get to understand more about the work atmosphere.

Ill. mom has second child outside hospital
A paramedic in Lombard, Ill., says a local woman gave birth in her home, 18 months after she had another child in his ambulance.
Paramedic Jack Shafer said when he arrived at the home of Jennifer Stringer and Rick Tresselt Monday, he immediately connected the house to a March 2008 incident that ended with Stringer giving birth on the way to the hospital, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Wednesday.
I looked at the house and I said, 'not again.' I just had to shake my head, Shafer said.
Shafer said when he and his partner arrived, Stringer, 37, and Tresselt, 38, had already delivered their third child.
Tresselt also was surprised to see Shafer show up.
I just screamed out, 'you gotta be kidding me,' Tresselt told the Sun-Times about his reaction to seeing the paramedic he met 18 months earlier.
The couple's new daughter, Devin Leigh Tresselt, was doing well after the home birth.

Sherman Greer to run as a Democrat against Ungethiem for commissioner post
EVANSVILLE - Sherman Greer, former director of the Evansville-Vanderburgh County Emergency Management Agency, will face Republican Bruce Ungethiem in the Nov. 4 election for Vanderburgh County Commissioner from District 2.
Greer, 66, was EMA director from 1990 to 2013, when he was forced to resign by Republican Mayor Lloyd Winnecke. He was first appointed by Democratic mayor Frank McDonald II.
Ungethiem defeated Marsha Abell in the May 6 Republican primary. No Democrat filed for the race in the primary election State election rules allow parties to fill vacancies on a general election ballot.
Winnecke in July 2013 cited issues with an EMA employee's overtime pay and other concerns when he requested Greer's resignation. Winnecke said Greer allowed about $18,000 over overtime pay, 1,100 hours worth, over many months, and he also said Greer bought a vehicle when funds for it were not included in his department's 2013 budget.
Greer acknowleged errors in judgment in the overtime matter, although he said he went through all proper channels before buying the vehicle.
On Tuesday, though, Greer said those issues are in "the rear-view mirror" and his 23 years with EMA prepared him for a shot at elected office. He's a first-time candidate.
"I'm not looking back, I'm looking forward," Greer said.
Greer mentioned three priorities in his upcoming campaign for county commissioner -- improving the condition of county roads, which he said has gone "from bad to worse" since the rough winter; reforming a local education roundtable that had been a project of former Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel; and crafting a plan for "smarter" Vanderburgh County growth.
"As director of the EMA, I brought people together under times of extreme stress to formulate and execute a plan for dealing with difficult situations," Greer said. "I will do the same as a Vanderburgh County Commissioner."
Rob Faulkner, the chairman for the Vanderburgh County Democrats, said precinct committee members voted to give Faulkner the authority to choose a candidate for the county commissioners race during a party caucus in May.
Faulkner said the party also plans to field candidates for three Vanderburgh County Council seats. While Stephanie Terry, D-District 3, filed for re-election, the party has not yet placed candidates on the ballot for District 1, 2 or 4.
Faulkner said he doesn't have any candidates lined up for the council seats, but hopes to have candidates selected before the June 30 deadline for parties to fill ballot vacancies.
Republicans running for Vanderburgh County Council include John Montrastelle for District 4, and incumbents James Raben, R-District 1, and Tom Shetler, R-District 2.

The versions are obtainable within a varied budget. There are bikes costed as low as up to Everything from the tubes and elements to the components has been created keeping aerodynamics in mind. This permits faster movement with much less effort from the cyclists. This is remarkably advantageous with regard to road bike sporting enthusiasts.
To summarize, Bottecchia is analyzed as one of the handful of legends with the bike industry. The truth is, Bottecchia is now manifested all over European countries with 300 dealers in Italy in addition to dealers within Germany, The kingdom, France, Norway, Denmark, Britain along with Slovenia.

Within that will range you will find different varieties, and the finest mountain bike brands will use the very best and most expensive gear system.
The foot brake cables I acquired were double ended - one side is made for use on mountain bike type braking mechanism levers (it looks just like a excess fat lollipop) and the opposite end is for use on road bike type brake levers. It should be easy to figure out from the size the hole in the brake cable tv holder the end you need to use.

So I'm deciding to unify the WWE and World Heavyweight titles as they did in real life (except with my CAW instead of Randy Orton). However, I don't plan on my CAW holding the title forever, obviously, and at some point I'm going to want the brands to be completely split again as the roster will seem too big. Any ideas on good ways to split the titles back up? I'm looking for something really creative because nothing is coming to mind for me.
You could bring ECW back and create a war that will cause a split.
PSN: The_Blaster_Kid
I haven't even thought of that... bring back the ECW Championship. Thanks :)
You should bring back wcw, theres so many great wcw champions already in the game. Goldberg, Kevin Nash, The Giant, Scott Steiner, Macho Man Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Ric Flair and of course Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
There are also wrestlers who were not champion but big time players in wcw like Eddie Guererro, Ricky the Dragon Steam Boat, Chris Jericho, Scott Hall, Curt Hennig, Rey Mysterio, Rick Rude, Ultimate Warrior, Ted Dibiase, Syxx, Virgil and Dusty Rhodes.
Then there are even wrestlers people didn't know were actually in wcw for a short time like Edge, Undertaker and Triple H.
After a while you can reintroduce them to wwe for an angle and make the invasion ppv and either have them upstage the WWE or have them beaten back to whence they came.
For that you can use the logo for Invasion ppv which is pickable for a ppv as well as Clash Of The Champions and Starrcade which were both wcw ppv's
You can also use the nWo logo for nWo souled out.
You can use the wcw tag team, cruiserweight, united states, hardcore and world championships. Plus the nWo belt. Thats 6 belts to choose from for wcw.
You really cant go wrong with bringing back wcw.
Take your hair to the limit.

Stone Cold Steve Austin stared his career in WCW but was underutilized and was let go from the business. WWF/Vince McMahon saw something in Stone Cold and decided to offer him a contract, turned out to be a good thing after changing his persona and give him a whole new gimmick.

WCW cut him because he was hurt, then Heyman signed him with ECW, then he went to WWE. I think Heyman had more play in the Stone Child personality in letting him do the promos he did. Plus Nash/JR, convinced Vince to sign him. I wouldn't give Vince much credit, other than selling the evil boss gimmick. Especially since he signed him as another Virgil.

yes but notice i said WWF/Vince McMahon which means the ppl BEHIND the scenes in the WWF as well as Vince McMahon saw something in Stone Cold. yes he went to ECW, but he didn't get big until the WWF/E. and yes, Vince did sell the whole "evil boss" thing BUT that was after the WWF/E Universe didn't accept Stone Cold as a heel like the original plan was. Instead he stayed a face and was one of the biggest faces in company history, he carried them for a long time just through his name. I'm not saying ppl like Shawn Michaels, Brett Hart, Undertaker, HHH, The Rock, APA, and countless others didn't play their parts also. BUT during the Attitude Era, and even know with the older people who remember those days (i grew up watching the late 80s, early 90s superstars), when the WWF/E was mentioned, the first name that came up 90% of the time was Stone Cold as he was the "face" of the company back then. again, you are right Heyman does deserve credit for the personality of Stone Cold coming out, but if not for him going to the bigger company i seriously doubt he would of made AS big of an impact as he did

EEG Technology Course and Class Descriptions
Electroencephalography (EEG) technology courses prepare students to use and adjust equipment for EEG tests, as well as recognize the test results. Such courses are usually taken as part of a degree program or postsecondary non-degree award program.
Essential Information
EEG technology classes are usually part of a 2-year associate's degree program in electroneurodiagnostic technology at a technical school or community college. However, they may also be part of a one-year professional diploma or certificate program, preparing students more quickly for a career as a registered EEG technician. These shorter programs may be offered at a medical facility. Some institutions award a diploma halfway through the completion of a degree program so that students can begin working in the field. Typical of all programs is extensive hands-on practice through clinical internships and labs.
Individuals enrolled in an EEG technology program complete basic coursework in human anatomy and physiology before actually taking EEG coursework. The most basic EEG courses introduce students to medical ethics, patient care and common uses for EEG testing. Students later learn to place electrodes, use EEG monitors and adjust the equipment when performing tests. Their advanced coursework prepares them to interpret readings and familiarizes them with injuries and illnesses that can affect these readings.
Overview of Classes
Descriptions of possible EEG technology program courses are shown below.
Human Anatomy and Physiology
This is a class that must be completed prior to enrolling in EEG technicians courses with EEG coursework. Students receive a broad overview of major body structures, including the respiratory, excretory, nervous, muscular, endocrine and skeletal systems. They also study major organs and tissues, especially those essential to performing EEG tests. Students usually attend lectures and classroom demonstrations and participate in related lab work.
Basic Medical Terminology
Another required class, this course introduces EEG students to relevant vocabulary, including prefixes and suffixes that are crucial to understanding commonly used terms. EEG technicians need to be familiar with this specialized terminology in order to communicate effectively with doctors regarding EEG exams and to understand patients' medical records.
Fundamentals of Electroencephalography
Lectures and labs explore the principles of neurophysiology, the theory and practice of electroencephalography and the theory and use of EEG technology. Lessons incorporate studies of medical ethics and professional standards, including patient care, first aid and emergency care. Students are introduced to common conditions normally diagnosed through EEG testing.
Electroneurodiagnostic Instruments and Electronics
EEG technician courses introduce students to the use of various types of EEG monitors and instruments, including the placement of electrodes. This class includes strategies for making the necessary instrument and testing protocol adjustments for working with infant, adult and geriatric patients. Coursework typically includes lectures, classroom demonstrations and clinical work.
Advanced EEG Technology and Applied Skills
This class familiarizes students with the effects of illness and injury on EEG readings. EEG technicians learn to recognize the influences of medications, including anesthesia, on EEG readings. Students learn to recognize the differences between readings from patients with acquired and congenital conditions.

Hi Raven. I live in Anchorage. I also would like to meet more people here that are Raw. I have 1 friend that is 100% raw and is an awsome preacher of the Raw foods. But, I am overweight and have a family and am trying to get going on raw. I would like to meet others that can give me encouragement and share their experiences with Raw. I see you have been Raw for awhile. Where do you live? Are you interested in Meetups with other Raws?
Cool. I did 5 days 100% and felt so good, but 2 things happened, I found out I am allergic to raw almonds and I had 2 meds that collided a few days after I started that caused extreem drowsiness. This was right before Thanksgiving and I didn't want to disapoint my wife (She cooks huge every year). So now I am getting back on.
The problem that I have with the raw food is it is so expensive and difficult to get fresh here in Anchorage. Carrs is expensive and Costco is great but sometimes limited on the selection. But I try to get my stuff there first.
I also have issues with the internet meetup on a one to one, Check this out. I think that if we were to meet up as a group (There are 10 people on the Meetup web site) that it would be safer and there would be a whole lot more experiences to share. http://rawfood.meetup.com/cities/us/ak/anchorag…
There is also a few on the Anchorage Freecycle list that are raw or vegitarian anyway. Good group of people for the most part. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/freecycleanchorage/
Anyway, I have to go get some sleep as I work nights. Have a good day.

Significance and Use
4.1 EC glazings perform a number of important functions in a building envelope including: minimizing the solar energy heat gain; providing for passive solar energy gain; controlling a variable visual connection with the outside world; enhancing human comfort (heat gain), security, ventilation, illumination, and glare control; providing for architectural expression, and (possibly) improving acoustical performance. It is therefore important to understand the relative serviceability of these glazings.
4.2 This test method is intended to provide a means for evaluating the relative serviceability of EC Glazings as described in Section 1.
4.3 The procedures in this test method include (a) rapid but realistic current-voltage cycling tests emphasizing the electrical properties, and (b) environmental test parameters that are typically used in weatherability tests by standards organizations and are realistic for the intended use of large-area EC IGUs.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the accelerated aging of electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units.
1.2 The test method is applicable for any electrochromic device incorporated into sealed insulating glass units (IGUs) fabricated for vision glass (superstrate and substrate) areas for use in buildings, such as sliding doors, windows, skylights, and exterior wall systems. The layers used for constructing the EC device and electrochromically changing the optical properties may be inorganic or organic materials.
1.3 The electrochromic (EC) glazings used in this test method are exposed under use conditions to solar radiation and are deployed to control the amount of radiation by absorption and reflection and thus, limit the solar heat gain and amount of solar radiation that is transmitted into the building.
1.4 The test method is not applicable to other chromogenic devices, such as, photochromic and thermochromic devices which do not respond to electrical stimulus.
1.5 The test method is not applicable to electrochromic (EC) glazings that are constructed from superstrate or substrate materials other than glass.
1.6 The test method referenced herein is a laboratory test conducted under specified conditions. The test is intended to simulate and, in some cases, to also accelerate actual in-service use of the electrochromic windows. Results from these tests cannot be used to predict the performance with time of in-service units unless actual corresponding in-service tests have been conducted and appropriate analyses have been conducted to show how performance can be predicted from the accelerated aging tests.

It's squid kids and ink blasting abound in Nintendo's exceptionally fun new online shooter.
Mortal Kombat X moves forward with a snappier version of the previous game's fighting and some cool new characters, but the story and other features around the edges feel a bit rough in spots.
The ways that Axiom Verge resembles Metroid help set up and drive home the ways that Axiom Verge is most definitely not Metroid.
Alex, followed way behind by Rorie.
I'm really enjoying Brad as host. He's not as smooth as Ryan but who is? He has good rapport with the rest of the crew and I love his fascination with Dan. Most importantly, his stint as host has unleashed Jeff in a big way which always makes for better shows than those awkward months of Jeff capably hosting but being too busy keeping the show on track to really let loose.
No, he didn't fit into the scene but it was the early 80s and there really wasn't a celebrity video game advocate. The whole show was a bit of an odd duck. It's just amazing to me to see how far gaming competitions and their audiences have come over the course of thirty years.
I was saddened by the passing of Geoff Edwards who was the host of Starcade for most of that show's run. Most people here won't remember the show but it was a video game competition show and each episode's big prize was an arcade cabinet. It ran on TBS for two or three years in the 80s. I always wanted to go on that show as a kid. Apparently G4 ran reruns of it at some point as most of the Youtube embeds have a G4 watermark.
It's probably not the fashionable answer but I use a Cuisinart CHW-12 and never have any complaints. It has a coffee brewer and hot water station and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. But I'm the kind of guy who just grinds his beans and makes a pot. If she's a serious coffee drinker, Bonavita and Breville both make really good, high quality machines.
It doesn't bother me much but the PS Blog comments section is going nuts. I had no idea so many people used their PS3 as their primary media server. It's a real shame for those folks.
I don't care because I subscribe to PS+ already. I understand that some fanboys lose a talking point because of this but I've had Gold and Plus and, for me at least, the two services don't compare in terms of value. I'll be PS+ for the life of the console provided the service continues to offer "free" games and, better yet, steep discounts.
Patrick seems like a guy I'd have a beer with but I do think he has a bit of a "me too" complex when it comes to discussing games, especially during the Bombcast. It's a roundtable discussion but Patrick's seeming need to have an opinion about everything gives his opinion less value (to me at least). Yes, they all talk over each other but make Patrick's constant interruptions can be aggravating, so much so that I can hear that aggravation reflected occasionally in the voices of Bard and Jeff in particular. Still, on a personal level, he seems like a cool guy; just maybe not the kind of guy to whom you make a flippant remark about a subject he's passionate about while standing in line at Starbucks.
I'm excited for the sale. LBPK and Tiger Woods 2013 are retail releases I never would have pulled the trigger on at retail but I'll give both a shot at ten bucks each. Also, I was holding off on Unfinished Swan because I was assuming it would show up as a "free" PS+ title (and probably still will) but for $3.75 I don't want to wait any longer. Good stuff.
I've never been a fan of Rooster Teeth. I listen to quite a few gaming podcasts but I can't bring myself to put that one in my regular rotation. I'll check out a few of the others listed but of the nominees I recognize, Bombcast is my favorite. I think that and Rooster Teeth are the most popular on the list so they both have a fair shot. Indoor Kids is Nerdist Industries so they may also have a chance even though they've gotten further and further away from games during the meat of their shows.

Atalanta captain Cristiano Doni is in shock over his three-year ban for his alleged role in Italy's betting scandal.
The forward was suspended for three and a half years, while teammate Thomas Manfredini earned a three-year ban for their part in alleged match-fixing.
Their actions will see the club begin this Serie A season from -6 points.
"I am disappointed and cannot stay silent," Doni wrote on Atalantini.com. "The sentence condemning Manfredini and myself left me open-mouthed with shock. Reading the reasons given for the bans had me speechless.
"We want justice. We don't want to pay the price for what is an exemplary ban warning others. We want those who made the mistakes to pay.
"We have nothing to do with this whole affair. I don't know any of the characters in this saga, but am being punished because I was friends with Nicola Santoni.
"Believe me, if I was guilty, then I would pay. I wouldn't even go to defend myself.
"Just the idea that someone in Bergamo can think I'm involved in something that would hurt Atalanta truly hurts me inside."

Suddha U
This tour was amazing!
It was really fun. Nikko is beautiful. But the lunch was terrible. I suggest you to skip the lunch. There are cafes next to the place where the tour take you to have lunch.
Excellent tour with plenty to see. A must-do in my opinion. If you're deciding between this and Mt Fuji, do this one as the sights are more... remarkable.
Britt B
Excellent guide with lots of information. It was clear but windy and very cold. Learned a lot and all questions
were answered. I never felt rushed. A great tour.
Japanese people are very organized. So no need for more coments. Tour is fantastic.
Nikko is one of the most beautifull places in Japan. I visited it in winter time and the landscape with the lake and the waterfall were impressing in all this snow.
Very well organized and executed tour. The English speaking tour guide "Hiro" was highly knowledeable and informative. Icing on the cake was the good snowfall that welcomed us at the foothills of Mt. Nantai. Could not spend much time at the lake due to cold and snowfall; but the natural beauty of accumulated and falling snow compendated for everything else....Thanks.
Julie Ann G
We loved our Winter day trip to Nikko. The World Heritage sights are amazing and we had time to explore on our own. Loved the traditional Japanese lunch.
great trip
Best Tour of the whole trip it's a must do. There is a lot of walking but its well worth it. The lunch was incredible, tasted things I've never had before. The places and scenery were spectacular.
Very well organized tour with excellent itinerary and good lunch.
This tour was amazing!
Ala E
The beauty and rich culture of Japan in one day? Sure, and the knowledgable tour guide provided a rich set of information regarding all aspects of the trip.
This was one of the best trips we have ever done. The Shrine is spectacular and unbelievable. The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and gave us an excellent information about the sites we visited. This is a very scenic place and I strongly recommend taking the trip.
Loved this tour. Nikko was lovely and a beautiful national park. Great tour.
I enjoyed the tour a lot although I was really looking forward to seeing the Futarasan Jinja up close but we just passed it by bus. The tour guide was amazing, informative and very polite. The only drawback was the lack of lunch options but that did not bother me at all.
Great tour!
Excellent day trip to Nikko!
Wonderful day. Filled with historical background and magnificent sights of the shrines and holy places. Our guide was knowledgeable and easy to talk with.
Excellently organized, knowledgeable guide, interesting sites.

PARRY SOUND – The warm weather has awoken the bears from their winter...
HUNTSVILLE – Kyle Nelson is a calm, gracious, down-to-earth, young man – until he steps into the octagon and unleashes "The Monster."
The featherweight is looking to make his professional MMA record 5-0 on March 8 in London, Ontario. And he wants a definitive win with a knockout.
"When you win there's always a lot of excitement. But generally if you win with a knockout, it's a lot more exciting and it feels better," said Nelson. "It's final, that's that, you won the fight. Winning with a submission feels pretty good too. But a decision, depending on how the fight went, you're usually like, 'I could have done this better or that better.'"
His last fight was won with a split decision, a TKO before that, an arm-bar submission prior to that and his first professional fight was won with a unanimous decision.
When Nelson first started training in MMA about nine years ago he preferred his ground game, but over the past six months he's been working hard on his stand-up ability and feels more comfortable with it now.
"I'm becoming more comfortable with it and the fans usually like the stand-up game a little better," said Nelson.
The Monster moved to Hamilton last September to train more with House of Champions and Parabellum MMA to concentrate on his stand-up. He still comes home to Muskoka on the weekends and trains with his long-time coach Bill Quinn at Muskoka Kickboxing in Bracebridge.
"I'm getting a higher level of training and I feel a lot better in every area," said Nelson.
He trains daily and kicks it into high gear about six to eight weeks prior to a fight, putting in the same amount of hours but exhausting himself a little more each session.
"You always have to work on everything, it's just how you prioritize each session for each fight," he said. "The fighter I'm going to fight looks more like a ground fighter, so I think my stand up will be better so I want to keep it at the level it's at."
He's also working on his defense and getting back to his feet from the ground, as his opponent, Alex Halkias, will be looking for takedowns. Halkias has a pro record of 4-1.
His goal, like many aspiring MMA firefighters, is to make it to the top and have a contract with the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship).
"UFC is kind of the pinnacle of the sport right now," he said. "I hope to make enough fighting so I don't have to work."
The UFC is the fastest growing sports organization in the world. It got its start in 1993, revolutionizing the world of MMA fighting and providing competitors with lucrative contracts.
His top three favourite fighters are Sam Stout, an exciting striker, Mark Bocek, a good ground fighter, and Canadian superstar Georges "Rush" St. Pierre (GSP), who is on an indefinite hiatus from the sport, as an all-around fighter.
Nelson watches these fighters closely to see how he can improve his game.
"He has nice setups to take people down with, he's in great shape and doing really well at the highest level," said Nelson of GSP.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals DC looking for rookie Jamell Fleming to 'grow up'
Arizona Cardinals cornerback Jamell Fleming has hit a rough patch late in his rookie season.
Defensive coordinator Ray Horton described Fleming's play early in the year as "spectacular," but thinks the corner since has had "a sense of lull" or "complacency" as of late.
"I think he probably thought there is nothing to this league. I don't have to prepare, I don't have to study, I don't have to challenge myself and you really do every day or you get run by," Horton said.
The Cardinals selected the former Oklahoma Sooner in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, but Horton doesn't want the young cornerback to act like a rookie anymore.
"I need him to grow up, mature, be a professional and in my opinion, he is not at that point yet," Horton said. "We had a long talk yesterday, so it will be interesting to see how he performs."
Fleming said that he had no argument with what Horton told him.
"Him being honest is what I want," Fleming said. "I don't want him to lie to me and tell me something I want to hear."
Horton said he challenged Fleming to be a very good special teams player and wanted to see what the rookie could do on Sunday.
"Whenever they put me in, that's where I am going to make my mark," Fleming said. "I'm just trying to get better."

ITSC develops and supports a range of useful tools to continually develop the education experience at HKUST. Key systems are highlighted below:
Student Feedback Questionnaire (ASSET)
The ASSET student feedback system provides an effective, user-friendly, custom-made online survey tool for collecting data at the end of a course to help to improve future programs and course delivery. The system supports major web browsers and iOS and Android devices. More information is available at http://asset.ust.hk/about.html.
Peer Evaluation System (iPeer)
This peer-to-peer student evaluation system provides a useful platform for teaching staff to design and conduct evaluation on group projects and encourage students to participate in groupwork. It was adapted from an open-source system. Teaching staff can develop four different types of surveys: point distribution, rubrics, rating scales and commendation. Enrollment records are retrievable from the student records system and evaluation results available in an Excel file. The Center for Enhanced Learning and Teaching offers regular workshops on iPeer. Visit http://celt.ust.hk/technology-enhanced-t-l for more information.
Learning Management System (LMES)
LMES is based on the open-source learning management system Sakai. The system makes it more straightforward for teaching staff to communicate with students, disseminate information and conduct out-of-class activities. The Center for Enhanced Learning and Teaching provides regular workshops on LMES. For more details on the system, visit http://celt.ust.hk/technology-enhanced-t-l/#lmes.
Multiple Choice Marking System
This document scanner is located in the ITSC Special Facilities Area to assist users to quickly and accurately score and analyze multiple choice tests, exams and surveys. Various reports can be generated. Data may also be exported to spreadsheet or statistical software for further analysis.
|Scanner Model
|Sekonic SR-2300 and Sekonic SR-6500
|PC Configuration
|Core 2 Duo E8300 / 2GB / 150GB / DVD-Rom
|Operating System
|MS Windows XP and MS Windows 7
|Application Software
|TestAnyTime v3.9
|Multiple Choice Forms Supported
Secure Online Assessment System (Questionmark)
A pilot of the Questionmark Perception assessment management system has been deployed to update the earlier secure online assessment system (SOAS). The SOAS system was previously set up to meet location constraints for examinations in courses of over 600 students. The move to the new four-year undergraduate curriculum with higher enrollment general education courses, along with rapid changes in technology and programming, has now provided an opportunity to update the existing system due to greater potential demand.
Questionmark Perception allows instructors to:
- Author questions and organize them into exams, quizzes and tests
- Deliver assessments via web browsers or secured browsers
- Analyze and distribute meaningful reports
General Purpose Survey System (Survey Tool)
Survey Tool offers a easy way for teaching and administrative staff to design their own surveys, select and distribute them to target groups, collect feedback and generate reports from the system. It has been adapted from SelectSurvey commercial software. The Center for Enhanced Learning and Teaching offers regular workshops on Survey Tool. Visit http://celt.ust.hk/technology-enhanced-t-l for more information on the system.

SSR2013 - MIB OID not working - No such object
I'm trying to work with OID's for Symantec to take up the slack from our RMM system which has not integrated its management features with Symantec System Recovery as effectively as I would have liked. I'm hoping by using OID's rather than an event log check the results maybe more concise.
Anyway my issue is this. I have found the .MIB from the Symantec download (60 day trial). Input it into the my MIB browser and it gave me the OID. I have enabled SNMP in System Recovery told it to report everything. Warnings, Errors & Critical - Any messages.I have completed a backup job giving it something to report upon.
It is running on a HP ML350 G4 server running Windows 2008R2 with SNMP Service running and public read only attributes. I'm running HP Insight manager and the monitoring agent by GFI. GFI currently monitors the RAID array via SNMP very effectively as soon as I eject a disk it tells me it has become degraded and when I reinsert it it tells me its rebuilding and when the system is ok. So I know SNMP is working fine from that front.
I'm getting messages that there is no such object from my GFI dashboard. I've tried playing around with the OID values in the dashboard but to no avail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
It appears that the SNMP traps sent by SSR are not recognized by HP InsightManager. There was some known issues with SSR and the MIB. However, to properly track this incident, please contact Symantec technical support to open a support incident.

Chennai Adoption Drive is holding an event this Sunday
"To be greeted by someone at the door is wonderful", says Jairam Seshadri who recently relocated to Chennai from Canada. After making the decision to adopt, the long-time dog lover got in touch with two young volunteers who had rescued and vaccinated an abandoned Indian puppy. "Adoption is the best thing to do – why not save a dog that's in need of a home?" says Jairam who adopted Rani, a dark brown female mongrel with liquid eyes whom he refers to as a daughter. He recalls that the rescuers (sisters Deepa and Padma Ramesh) and the puppy were all anxious about parting ways. He took the girls and the puppy to a local coffee shop for a chat to ease their minds and assure them of his commitment, and then took Rani home. "I also wanted to thank them for giving me a dog", he says with a chuckle.
Rani transitioned quickly from a timid pup to a family member, and keeps Jairam's 87-year-old father company while he's away. "They're like children, and shouldn't be treated any differently" he says, adding that he believes that those who treat their dogs badly are likely to do the same to people. "She's been a positive influence in our lives", he says. Jairam is now considering adopting a companion for Rani who often studies her reflection in the mirror, possibly believing that the image is another pup.
Says Aishvarya Prakash who is bringing a rescued 2-month-old kitten to Sunday's adoption drive – "Kittu was rescued by a security person who found her severely injured", she says, revealing that timely veterinary help saved the kitten's life. "She was such a fighter and wanted to live", says Aishvarya. Kittu is now a playful, independent kitten who hopes to find a forever home on Sunday – one that will keep her indoors and give her the love she richly deserves.
If you're looking to adopt a kitten or a puppy, visit Chennai Adoption Drive's event on Sunday, 28 July between 10 am and 3 pm at 78/1, McNichols Road, Chetpet (landmark: below Chetpet Bridge). There is no adoption fee and vaccination records will be given to new owners. Call 8939311148 or email email@example.com for details.

Despite the FBI's generation-long public relations campaign to bury the image of the corn-fed, crew-cut G-Man, the Bureau's legacy as a white man's redoubt remains largely intact. It was not until the month after J. Edgar Hoover's death in 1972 that the FBI training academy (located on the Marine base at Quantico, Virginia) admitted its first female applicant. When Jane Turner attended the academy in 1978, sherecalls, "They still counted race and gender. I was female agent number 100-and-something. And I was in class with the number 6 Native American."
According to Turner, the modern FBI takes care to put women and minorities in visible positions such as media liaison at HQ and in the field offices. Outside public view, the picture has changed less than the Bureau might like to suggest. The following numbers were compiled from the 2000 U.S. Census and from employment data at the FBI's website dating to June 30, 2003.
