Blackboard Inc. has unveiled a new release of its flagship learning management system (LMS) that includes a tool to help instructors identify and engage at-risk students based on course activity patterns that correlate with student success. The feature makes it easier for instructors with limited time to find effective ways to improve student retention and outcomes.
With the increased influence of popular culture, the report also finds that students are increasingly choosing books with lower text complexity, a concern for many educators.

That Rita Ballou article about Sunny Sweeney was hilarious and thankfully tame by Rita's standards. I will admit to being the internet bootleg source of the advance copy of "Concrete" back in mid 2010 long before the album had a name. I mentioned Rita and her blog to Sunny back when I met her in July 2010 at a concert but I can't remember if Sunny was already a Rita fan back then. When I recently saw Sunny perform at Downtown Disney in Anaheim I wrote out the name of the Engine145 blog and told Sunny it was the 9513's direct descendant hoping she'd come and post here. Sunny, I'm still waiting for you to drop by and give me some sh*t just like old times! (lol)
I'm with Justin Tate in hoping CDs don't disappear entirely from the retail scene. On the other hand if all the legal MP3 downloads were offered at a 320kps bitrate rather than the cut rate 256kps, I wouldn't mind quite as much.
Why Jasmine Rae hasn't crossed the pond to give the US Top 40 country market a serious effort is beyond me. Of all the current young female Aussie commercial country artists, I think Jasmine would fit the most comfortably onto a US Top 40 AirHead Country Radio station playlist. I'd venture a guess that her version of "Look It Up" would have charted higher than Ashton Shepherd's. Even though The McClymont sisters are extremely talented, I think their current effort to conquer the US mainstream country market is a long shot in comparison.
Music City Roots is back in session tonight and will feature The Milk Carton Kids (talk about a warped sense of humor), The Wilders, Elephant Revival (?), Grayson Capps, and a couple of guys from the V-Roys band. Should be…er, interesting! (lol)

Speaking of Sunny Sweeney (whom I like almost as much as Rita Ballou), last week her new single "Drink Myself Single" was among the top 3 most added songs at Mediabase reporting stations. This week that song is doesn't even make the Top 12 on that list! Talk about being fickle! Well at least some stations last week had the good taste to add Sunny's song, I just don't know if that was enough to build any real momentum. Top 40 country radio is not kind towards new artists, and especially solo female acts who didn't come from American Idol. Sunny's last single barely cracked the high 30's and if "Drink Myself Single" doesn't reach at least the Top 20, then Sunny's welcome mat at Top 40 country radio could be pulled back in. I've seen this happen to most of the new female country artists I've really liked since I started paying attention in 2005. Oh well.
Here's this week's "Mediabase Most Added" list (from AllAboutCountry.com):
1 Kenny Chesney/Reality (51 Adds)
2 Brad Paisley/Camouflage (37)
3 Dierks Bentley/Home (29)
4 Billy Currington/Like My Dog (18)
5 Chris Young/You (12)
6 Brent Anderson/Amy's Song (11)
7 Jake Owen/Alone With You (9)
8 Kip Moore/Sometin' 'Bout A Truck (9)
9 Luke Bryan/I Don't Want This Night To End (8)
10 Casey James/Let's Don't Call It A Night (7)
11 Lee Brice/A Woman Like You (7)
12 Zac Brown Band/Keep Me In Mind (5)
Gosh, female artists really face an ever steepening uphill battle at AirHead Country radio these days. (Not that the playing filed has ever been level though.)
Whoa, Billy Currington's cut "Like My Dog?" The Harley Allen-Scotty Emerick song?
That's the one, Jon. It's on the Currington album that came out last year.
And they're playing it on the radio?! There've gotta be some lyric differences from the way Harley sang it ;-). I reckon I need to buy me a download…
Who the hell is Rita Ballou?–A character from a Guy Clark song come to life??
Hmm, no lyric differences, but that Currington version isn't very good – poor tempo choice, mostly; those lyrics need to be savored, not rushed through.

American pop/R&B singer and winner of the sixth season of the reality television show American Idol< read all 1 reviews
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
It has been nothing short of a whirlwind: The youngest ever winner of American Idol, Jordin Sparks was just seventeen years old when she won the coveted title. In reflection, it was the best training ground she could have ever had. "I didn't know it when we were doing the show, but all the interviews and behind-the-scenes stuff prepared me for now. Being on Idol was exciting, exhilarating and slightly traumatic. I won the show I was a fan of, what could be better?" Thrown right in to the spotlight, and in to the recording studio, Jordin passed GO and never looked back.
In the three years that have followed, Jordin has released two albums on 19 Recordings/Jive Records. Her self-titled debut went platinum, selling over 2 million copies worldwide, with the first three singles going top 5 and the album's second single, "No Air" selling 4 million digital downloads. Jordin's second release, 2009's BATTLFIELD, debuted on the Billboard Album chart at number seven, with the first single, also called "Battlefield," reaching the top ten on the Billboard Singles Chart and second single, "S.O.S. (Let the Music Play)," topping the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, becoming Jordin's first #1. BATTLFIELD was mostly recorded in New York, Los Angeles and Nashville with marquis collaborators Dr. Luke, T-Pain, Stargate and Max Martin. Sparks also co-wrote four tracks on the album, including "911 ...

ON ROBERT EARL KEEN'S new live album, No. 2 Live Dinner (Sugar Hill), the chants of his adulators sound like those of a crowd swooning over a prizefighter on his way to the ring: "Robert Earl Keen! Robert Earl Keen!" The Bandera resident wants to be taken seriously as a songwriter, and he deserves to be—he writes long, complex songs of considerable artistry—yet on the new album, the audience's whooping and word-for-word singing all but drown him out. Like his Texas A&M University pal Lyle Lovett, Keen cut his teeth on the progressive-country sound of the seventies, a casual blend of country, folk, rock, blues, gospel, and Western swing, and seeing him at age forty you think: This is the new Jerry Jeff Walker. But for Keen, that's not entirely good news. Like Walker, he has ignited in Texas a fervor among educated young kickers and semi-educated kickers and educated semi-kickers—particularly Aggies. After years of beating his head against various walls, he finds himself a cult figure, a top draw at honky-tonks two hundred nights a year. But while cult status carries definite rewards, it can also be a trap.
The duality of the Keen phenomenon was on display in December when he played the Majestic Theater in San Antonio to promote his new single, "Merry Christmas From the Family," a painfully funny novelty song that Newsweek called "a picture-perfect portrait of a dysfunctional holiday." Also on the bill that night were Texas peers Jimmy LaFave and Junior Brown. If the crowd was polite to LaFave and more enthusiastic about Brown, it was obvious that few had heard much of either one; they had come to see Keen. Some fans were middle-aged nostalgists for the bygone heyday of progressive country, but far more were in their twenties—striking women in pricey rodeo attire; postgraduate males in boots, jeans, and sport coats; and a rowdy contingent of the A&M Corps, with close-cropped hair and sloshing beer cups. The young men seated behind me talked about several Keen shows they had driven all over the state to see in the past year.
A wild roar greeted Keen when he walked on stage carrying his guitar. He wore boots, a red shirt, and a loose-fitting black suit. Bearded and friendly, he is a handsome presence, but he's not thin-waisted and antic enough to qualify as a country-western hunk, and his between-song patter suggests a folksinger. Nodding at his fiddler and college roommate Bryan Duckworth, he reminisced: "When we lived in College Station"—another roar—"we used to sit on this old porch on Church Street, right across from the Presbyterian church, and play bluegrass and folk music and talk about girls and where we were gonna move when our parents got our grades. We always looked forward to Sunday mornings there on the porch. We'd crawl out at about eleven-thirty in our underwear, among four or five hundred empty beer cans, strap on a banjo and a guitar, and wait for the Presbyterians to come out of church so we could sing 'em a little gospel music. Give 'em something to think about—on the way to Luby's." Keen's zeal for narrative extends to his songs, the best of which are mini—short stories that sometimes run eight minutes long. But the vocalists behind me didn't flub a line; each number in Keen's repertoire was committed to memory. Not that everyone was charmed by the hootenanny. As I faced a wall in the men's room, a man with some gray in his beard was heard to grumble, "Pretty good show—except for those sonsabitches behind me yelling in three-part harmony."
Crotchety older fans are the least of the barricades in Keen's path to mainstream success. His flat baritone voice can roam so far off key that whiskey jiggers rattle. "I've always been a little embarrassed about my voice," he says wistfully. "I kind of get by. But I wish I could really sing—for one hour—just to know what it feels like. Somebody like Vince Gill. Hit those notes, it must just reverberate in your head." His sound is also too country western to masquerade as rock and roll but too offbeat to fit the seams of mainstream Nashville country, so except for public radio and a few alternative-rock stations, his albums get almost no airplay. And as a lyricist, he shuns the catchy, memorable choruses that make tunes into hits.
Yet Arista/Texas, an Austin-based division of a major label that in its first three years exclusively concentrated on Latino artists, has just signed Keen to a contract and is touting him as the cornerstone of its expansion into the gifted but hard-to-market field of Texas singer-songwriters. What accounts for his long-awaited big break? Formulaic Nashville songwriting reeks of condescension; the slickers who dominate that business cling to an audience concept of rednecks and hillbillies. By contrast, the places and emotions in Keen's lines ring true, and his storytelling at times has a literary quality, especially when he's conjuring up characters on the edge. He has written about honeymooners who take a rowboat across the Rio Grande and fall in with a cowboy on the run from the feds, brothers working on oil rigs and drinking themselves to marital ruin on Corpus Christi Bay, and in "The Road Goes on Forever"—covered by both Joe Ely and the Highwaymen—a hapless, updated Bonnie and Clyde.
Such material has struck a chord among a young crowd that is predisposed to favor country music but does not like to have its intelligence insulted by Nashville hokum. The devotion of those fans has pushed Keen's total album sales up to about 100,000 but also forced on him a dilemma: He found that he needs those noisy crowds and he needs to transcend them. The localism of the cult and its air of juvenilia do not enhance his prospects as a breakout songwriter. But with the signing by Arista/Texas, the music industry has at last given him the chance to prove that his popularity can travel—that it's not just a

Hathaway asked when asked about Franco's 'Letterman' comments comparing her to a Tasmanian devi...
It's Love All at Wimbledon: William and Kate Dazzle Courtside (Photos)Posted Jun 27th 2011 at 12:05 PM by Katelyn Mullen
It looks like it's not all work for the future King of England and his elegant bride. Fresh off the formal military ceremony where Prince William awarded medals to soldiers of the Irish Guards, the loving pair took a break to enjoy some tennis. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent some time at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club earlier today to watch their fellow countryman, tennis...

The red and black leather jacket was purchased on June 26, 2011 by Milton Verret, a commodities trader from Austin, Texas at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills. Verre...

We breed Newfoundlands. ( used to )
This image is a few years ago now, was one of our bitches, called Bella.
Love this photo, as no one believes it is a dog, but a fella dressed as a gorilla lol.
Well it isnt it is bona fide.
We had at one point 7 adults, and at times 8 pups too.
Now down to 2 bitches, Coco and Roxy. One brown and one black ( in fact daughter and mother )
We no longer breed, just enjoy these gentle giants. Possibly the very best temperament dog you ever could wish for.Ste
I nearly died laughing when I saw the picture. It looks like a gorilla.
A few days after starting this thread, I got a dog but…..
....on that first day, he got REALLY sick. Of course in the short time I was with him, I had completely fallen in love with him so I had to see it through.
After 10 days at the vets, he was finally well enough to come home last night!
Check out my new puppy and the coolest dog on the planet, Charlie!
Aww he's adorable! Glad to hear he's doing okay now
Charlie, what a cutie! What kind of dog is he?
I hope he is all healed up and feeling better

Thanks guys!
The general consensus on his breed is that he's a Golden Retriever/Sheltie/Collie mix. I rescued him from a kennel so your guess is as good as mine!
Fyi Golden Retrievers are one of the most intelligent dog kinds in the world. That's why I chose my beautiful dog from that category

Yeah cool dogs.
As a water rescue dog, could you find better ?
Fearless, strong and naturally life savers
did I mention strong ?
oh and lol… loveable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odmEFD1aMYg
good with Kids ?
Slow Motion Newfs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_66sBjxisF4
i can only recommend, as they are very loveable beings, but remember: no matter how big your backyard is, or how small the dog is, you HAVE TO WALK it every day at least once. so if you are the lazy kind, betterget a cat or fish, or whatever. a dog in the house is like a new family member, only with very special needs. keep that in mind, and you will have a happy dog.
Cat owner myself. Any animal is great (until they get diarrhea ). Highly recommend getting one.
Glad to hear that you actually went to a kennel and gave that little guy a new home. Good on you Jami!
Huge animal lover myself…i have a cat, a dog and…................a lionhead rabbit!

Our guide was excellent, the tour was a little less than I had wanted, but my friend has problem walking and I thought a tour less rugged was best.

The White House continues to urge holding the threat of a military attack over Syria's head as an inducement for President Assad to give up his chemical weapons. Just after President Obama's recent address on Syria, U.S. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut reiterated that he is adamantly against any attack. Murphy said he's heard from his constituents, and that they overwhelmingly agree with him. One Syrian national living in Connecticut disagrees, and says Syrian-Americans do as well.

She falls in love with Vijay in director A. L. Vijay's just released Thalaivaa, though it's one-sided. But for Mumbai-based actor Ragini Nandwani, it is a role of a lifetime. "I play a north Indian who doesn't know Tamil. When Vijay comes to Mumbai, circumstances bring us together and I fall head over heels in love with him. But, as we all know, his love interest in Thalaivaa is Amala Paul. For me, after the lukewarm response to my debut film Dehraadun Diary, this is a major breakthrough and although the release is delayed, I am already having over 14,000 followers on my FB page," says Ragini whose entry into the film industry was through the Zee TV serial Mrs. Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuein. "I have been getting some good Hindi and Tamil offers of late and will have to scrutinise them properly before signing on the dotted line."
Engineer turns filmmaker
So what's an aerospace engineer who aspired to be a Senator in Maryland, U.S., doing in Tamil films? In 2006, Jay Bala stood for Maryland State Senate elections from District 28, but lost. Originally from Sri Lanka, Jay Bala married a girl from Madurai and migrated to the U.S. in the 1980s, where he hobnobbed with leaders in the IT industry. Now he has made a movie in Tamil employing Hollywood techniques. Wondering how? He has familiarised himself with the filmmaking techniques in almost every sphere — cinematography, screenplay and direction. "When I came up with the story for Suvadugal, I knew that I could fit into the role of the protagonist. I knew it was going to be difficult because I was also directing and filming. In most of the instances, I would automate the camera, instruct the trolley operators to carry out the movements and enact my role. Consequently, I was able to employ techniques that enabled me to incorporate several elements into a single sweeping shot, reducing a 20-minute sequence to 3 minutes. As for the music, I sought the services of M. S. Viswanathan whose compositions are dynamic, full-bodied orchestral sounds with a contemporary feel. I have recorded all the songs by bringing in a leading Hollywood recording engineer, Tim de Paravicini of EAR-Yoshino Ltd, U.K. The mixing and mastering of the songs were done at his studio," says Bala.
Tale with twists
Unnodu Oru Naal will be the second outing for Gibran, after Bale Pandiya. Gibran plays Madhav with whom the heroine Priya falls in love. She then ditches him and hooks up with his friend Karthik. A heartbroken Madhav decides to leave for foreign shores to forget Priya. And, Karthik marries Priya. Unnodu Oru Naal is a short and sweet story with a happy and sad ending. But do our filmmakers leave it at that? "No!" says Gibran, "but you will have to wait and see the twists in the tale. I have enjoyed playing the role tremendously. Meanwhile, in S. J. Suryah's Isai, I play an illusionist who comes to haunt him. I took on this role so I could learn a lot from Suryah. He is such a committed artiste whose energy and professionalism rubs off on you."
Keywords: Ragini Nandwani, Thalaivaa, Jay Bala, Unnodu Oru Naal, Gibran

From the Publisher"In recent years the term 'creolization' has been much evoked but little studied. This fine set of essays—crossing the fields of anthropology, history, linguistics, and cultural studies—offers the first systematic effort to historicize the term 'creolization' and the processes it names, as well as assessing the term's usefulness for contemporary cultural theory. Readers will find vigorous debate between the participating authors, who by no means adhere to a single editorial line, allowing their differences of approach and emphasis to illuminate just what is at stake. In sum, this is a really valuable collection of essays, sure to become the first reference point for discussion of creolization." —Peter Hulme, University of Essex
"At last, a brave collection of essays on creolization. Framed by a skillful, remarkably even-handed introduction, the volume addresses the rich and controversial histories of the construct, and pushes valiantly to disentangle it from related terms, often used as synonyms, such as hybridity, globalization, transnationalism and transculturation. Best of all, the volume seeks out an exciting array of critical voices, both recent and long-standing, in its presentation of debates about cultural and linguistic mixture. It is sure to become a touch-stone work on these thorny but urgent subjects in anthropology, history, sociology, linguistics, comparative literature and cultural studies, as well as in the many vaster conversations now taking place across disciplines." —Janet hart, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
"As we try to grasp the organization of human diversity, globally as well as in varied regional contexts, creole concepts have been good to think with - in different and sometimes conflicting directions. Read this book, and you will have a very clear idea of the perspectives and the controversies!" —Ulf Hannerz, Stockholm University
"This innovative volume constitutes a major contribution to the on-going debates around the meaning of creolization. Bringing together contributions by scholars in anthropology, history, linguistics and literary theory, it provides both new empirical studies and fresh theoretical insights on some of the most pressing questions of identity facing us today." —Megan Vaughan, Cambridge University
"This work is most unique in its interdisciplinary connections...and its geographical scope as it expands our sense of creolization beyond the Caribbean basin....[W]hen does a theory become overdetermined? Aisha Khan believes that this occurred for creolization when its role as a model that describes historical processes of cultural change and contact became conflated with the model that interprets them (238). By instigating the reversal of this particular instance of overdetermination, this valuable collection both recovers the power of this crucial term and clears theoretical and rhetorical space for new research and forms of knowledge." - Postmodern Culture

Dealing with China
hi guys
planning a trip from england to hopefully australia, planning to leave mid to late july from the UK and I've just come across the fact that i need a guide throughout the whole of china, previously i thought it was just for a couple of provinces. that said however i cant find an official website that actually states a guide is needed so if someone could link me to something like that it would be much appreciated so i know what im actually dealing with. more to the point of this post however, what is everyones plan of attack for china with regards to the guide. im doing this trip on a very very small budget but one that i think is doable. the price of a guide for the whole of china is getting me rather worried however so whats the cheapest way to go about it. is it going to be easier for me to leave the bike in Kyrgyzstan cross the border by foot and then buy another bike when i get to china. im yet to buy a bike, i got to france to purchase one in a couple of weeks time and im only looking for something around the 800euro price tag so its not a huge loss if i have to dump it and buy another bike.
i dont particularly wish to be chopping and changing my bike however so hopefully one of you very smart and knowledgeable people on here will be able to guide me throughout this.

Almost ten years ago, there were a few riders, who just sneaked into China, and some even rode there without big problems. But I think now is different, the only way probably is with a guide.
My advice would be to head to India, then if you have time (and patience!) try your luck at the Burmese border (India to Thailand by bike has actually been done within the last 12 months, but still, do NOT expect it to be easy to get your bike into Burma!)..and if that fails, then ship the bike by air from Chennai (or Kathmandu, could actually be a better place to ship from) to Bangkok. There are no ferries.

unfortunately india is out of the equation, im trying to do this without a carnet. the bike will be a permanent import to australia as i live there so i wont need a carnet to get into aus and im gonna try my luck when i get to malaysia and if i cant cross the border ill ship to aus from there. any ideas on "swaping" the bike at the chinese border, what are the regulations regarding a chinese drivers license?

" what are the regulations regarding a chinese drivers license "
I'm no expert, but I believe they do not recognize either of the two versions of International Driving Permit. You'd have to get a Chinese license, to ride there legally. This is probably not easy, if you do not speak Chinese.

In your case, it looks doesn't easy to get Chinese drivers license. It depend on the police station of border port. What I know is some big border port can change your drivers license to chinese drivers license, of course there's some paper work need to be done, but normally the police or the soldier of border don't know how to fix the problem.
You don't need worry too much if you can not get a Chinese drivers license, but you must have a drivers license in your country, and bring it when you ride a bike in China.
You should say sorry to the police officer and tell him that you have a license in your country, but you don't know how to get a Chinese drivers license. You'd like to do it if you know how to do.
Normally the police officer will tell you be careful and let you go at the end if he can understand your situation.
The worst thing is the officer will charge some money as forfeit, You must asking invoice otherwise you can refuse pay money. Trust me, The officer will not put you in jail. Of coruse you should gentlemanly when you talk with the police officer.
In Chinese law, if you ride a motorcycle without drive license, the officer can charge you 200RMB to 2000RMB(about 25EUR to 250EUR), and put you in jail less then 15 days.
I never saw or heard police officer put foreign tourist in jail because no driver license. You will be famouse all over China if so, because you will show up on frontpage on TV, newspaper, radio...

You must pay attention to the motorcycle certificate when you buy a motorcycle in China, and the motorcycle need has insurance within the validity period.

Some time ago rental car companies like Hertz / Avis in China were able to obtain temporary driving license for foreigners (short term visitors) renting a car through them and the temporary driving license was interlinked with the rental car and actual rental period. They only issued temporary China driving license for cars - not for motorcycles!!!
Do not listen to any so called "visa / driving license agents" in China offering to assist or help out, they provide you with fake documentation for thousands of RMB (Chinese Yuan) and some of them driving licenses look like drawn with a black crayon by a five year old.....
Own motorbike, only legal way as of today is either going solo (very expensive) with a government appointed guide through a licensed tour operator for China travel and / or find a group of foreign China travellers that did all the ground work already and join them to lower the costs involved.
Be warned, TIC = This Is China and everyone is after your $$$$'s....

No blog entries have been posted here. Boring yes, but as confucius says - if you have nothing good to say, why say anything at all? Check back later, perhaps something exciting will pop-up and be worth blogging about, like season 3 of the teletubbies.
Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!

Actor Mackie charged with drunken driving in NYC
Sunday - 11/10/2013, 8:50pm EST
NEW YORK (AP) -- Anthony Mackie has been arraigned on two misdemeanor counts of drunken driving in New York City.
The 35-year-old actor was arrested in Harlem and was released after appearing in Manhattan Criminal Court on Saturday. His next court date is Dec. 19.
A publicist for "The Adjustment Bureau" co-star had no comment. Mackie also has appeared in the Oscar-winning "The Hurt Locker," in "Pain & Gain" and numerous other movies.
A criminal complaint charges him with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and while impaired by alcohol. It says Mackie had the smell of alcohol on his breath, bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. The complaint says he told an officer he'd had one beer.
It says Mackie refused to take a Breathalyzer test to measure his blood-alcohol level.

Re: Why are the Ladies silent on Sailnet?
i have been a member for several years but almost exclusively lurk, partially because i am timid about asking for help and partially because i am afraid of being beat down or jumped on if I say anything. I find it upsetting how quickly people jump all over posters for saying things that i don't think are really meant to be offensive, and the convo kinda degenerates. Ouch, now i am hiding under the keyboard in case i get shelled for that.
I do want to say how incredibly helpful i have found these forums- i have read literally thousands of threads and have used so much of the wonderful expertise and experience people have shared here.
I had been looking to the hersailnet as a possible place where i could talk with fellow female sailors, especially any who like me are relatively underconfident in their technical skills. I am in the process of a fairly major refit of my boat and for someone who previously regarded changing a lightbulb as a challenge, this is scary stuff. Especially as I am doing it in east africa where there is a real shortage of skilled people who you could hire as teachers or consultants. My club here is heavily british and south african, so being a yank female skipper makes me feel pretty isolated.
I would love to hear from other women who have taught themselves to work on their boats e.g. rewiring, re-doing standing rigging, etc. and how they did it! My husband is an absolute darling but isn't interested in sailing in the least, and isn't handy, so i am starting from scratch here.....
any words of wisdom from women out there who taught themselves to fix their boats or at least learned and did it on their own? any courses you could recommend? I am a decent sailor, but am looking at doing some of the ASA or RYA courses especially navigation to further my skills, but i don't see much in terms of courses for repair/maintenance.
oh well, that was my rant. I will probably be looking for the retract post button soon......

Theo Walcott says Arsenal have the ability to win the Premiership this season.
"If we all believe in ourselves, all believe in our team, I am sure we can do anything," he told Sky Sports News. "All you have to do is put your mind to it.
"Considering we haven't got a big squad, I think it is quite good in a way that everyone can gel together, we know how we play and it is easier when only a couple of players come in, they can just settle in."
On his own aims for the coming season Walcott admits he wants to concentrate on just getting into the side.
"The main goal is to start the first game of the season and build from there really," he continued. "I am only going to be judged on goals and assists, but as long as I come back from each game knowing I have given 100 per cent that is all I can ask of myself."

State Rep. Todd Hunter says bringing a cruise line to the area is a top priority
Cruise ships have big economic development potential
CORPUS CHRISTI - A cruise ship line for the South Texas coast could boost the region economically, which is why state Rep. Todd Hunter says making it happen is one of his priorities.
Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, said he will file legislation later this year to help attract cruise lines and encourage cruise lines to take a closer look at South Texas.
"Here is an opportunity that can bring positives to our area," said Hunter who started a series of town hall meetings Tuesday. "I have never understood why we don't have any cruise lines. Today they have good sized ships in the northern part of Texas. Rather than talk, it is time to take action. I have made the commitment to take this on in our region."
More than 200 people, including area county and city leaders, showed up. And more than 100 reserved seating for a meeting at the Padre Isles Country Club on Tuesday night, Hunter's staff said. Meetings also will be planned in Aransas, Calhoun and San Patricio counties at later dates, Hunter said.
"I am going to form a working group in the district," Hunter told the crowd. "My plan is to make direct contact with various cruise lines. My role is to give you the opportunity to meet with these folks. I can't tell you what the time frame is, but I am going to push this and include various state agencies. I am going to gather your comments and take information to state agencies and the cruise lines."
Hunter pointed to a driving population of millions coming from an area that stretches from Austin and San Antonio to the Rio Grande Valley and northern Mexico. Hunter, Texas Travel Industry Association President David Teel and many in the enthusiastic crowd believe tourists would be willing to come to the Coastal Bend to catch a cruise.
They would stay in local hotel and motels, eat at restaurants, buy gasoline, shop and help the growth of the Corpus Christi International Airport and other tourism related businesses, Teel said.
When Hunter asked for comments and ideas, hands shot up around the room.
Area resident Ronnie Holliday said he started looking into bringing a cruise company to South Texas in 1993, and he still thinks it is a good idea.
He said the cruise companies told him that the region did not have enough population and was not a hub for airlines. But the area has grown since then, audience members said, and South Texas has more to offer.
Several people offered ideas, including shorter, cheaper cruises and land and water packages that could originate in San Antonio, which has multiple tourist destinations and a bigger airport, before a ship launch from the coast to places such as Cancun.
Richard Gonzales with the Gulf of Mexico Foundation, an environmental group, added that the area could start a new, hybrid nature-based cruise to take advantage of eco-tourism opportunities such as viewing endangered whooping cranes or Kemp's ridley sea turtles.

The UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) is a multi-centre, prospective, randomised, intervention trial of 5100 newly-diagnosed patients with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus which aims to determine whether improved blood glucose control will prevent complications and reduce the associated morbidity and mortality. Newly presenting Type 2 diabetic patients aged 25–65 years inclusive, median age 53 years, median body mass index 28 kg/m2 and median fasting plasma glucose 11.3 mmol/l, were recruited and treated initially by diet. Ninety five percent remained hyperglycaemic (fasting plasma glucose > 6 mmol/l) and were randomly allocated to different therapies. In the main randomisation, those who were asymptomatic and had fasting plasma glucose under 15 mmol/l were allocated either to diet policy, or to active policy with either insulin or sulphonylurea aiming to reduce the fasting plasma glucose to under 6 mmol/l. Over 3 years, the median fasting plasma glucose in those allocated to diet policy was 8.9 mmol/l compared with 7.0 mmol/l in those allocated to active policy. The Hypertension in Diabetes Study has been included in a factorial design to assess whether improved blood pressure control will be advantageous. Patients with blood pressure ≥ 160/90 mm Hg were randomly allocated to tight control aiming for < 150/85 mm Hg with either an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or a Beta-blocker or to less tight control aiming for < 200/105 mm Hg. The endpoints of the studies are major clinical events which affect the life and well-being of patients, such as heart attacks, angina, strokes, amputations, blindness and renal failure. To date, 728 patients have had at least one clinical endpoint. Surrogate endpoints include indices of macrovascular and microvascular disease detected by ECG with Minnesota Coding, retinal colour photography and microalbuminuria. The studies also aim to evaluate potential risk factors for the development of diabetic complications such as smoking, obesity, central adiposity, plasma LDL-and HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, insulin, urate and other biochemical variables. The studies are planned to terminate in 1994, with a median follow-up of 9 years (range 3–16 years) for the glucose study and 5 years (range 2–6 years) for the hypertension study.

Projector - Magic Lantern, Lampascope, circa 1899 Reg. No: HT 3805
- Summary:
- A beautiful magic lantern produced for home use. The lampascope was designed to fit on top of a domestic oil lamp to utilise its light and thus did not require its own illuminant. Lampascopes such as this were a product of France and appear to date from 1861. The majority were globular in shape, such as this particular model. Many were coloured using an alcohol based varnish, often in an array of exuberant colours.
The Lapierre family and Louis Aubert were the two most prominent producers of this type of lantern, however there were many other producers, both large firms and individual craftsmen. This lamp is very similar to the Lapierre produced 'Boule' lampascope.
The glass lamp incorporates a 'Kosmos' burner, developed by the Berlin company of Wild and Wessel in 1865. This kerosene burner utilizes a flat wick which is folded into a tube. The distinctive chimney has a restricting 'pinch' which helps with air flow. In 1899 the company was taken over by Brökelmann, Jaeger & Co. The logo on the wick winder knob dates the burner from this latter period. This company did not necessarily produce either the lamp or the lantern, as burners were frequently sold on whole-sale.
While the invention of the magic lantern is generally seen to be in the 17th century, its greatest popularity as an optical projector spans the late 18th Century to the early decades of the 20th Century. It was used both as a means of entertainment and education.
This lantern projector is part of the Francis Collection of pre-cinematic apparatus and ephemera, acquired by the Australian and Victorian Governments in 1975. David Francis was the curator of the National Film and Sound Archive of the British Film Institute as well as being a co-founder of the Museum of the Moving Image in London, which was operational between 1988 and 1999.
