BPO sector sets sights on high-value services
Firms seek share of finance, creative sectors
popular .
After shrugging off a pending anti-outsourcing bill in the US Congress, the government said the country's business process outsourcing (BPO) industry has set its sights on higher-value areas of the industry to sustain the growth started by call centers.
The country's Information and Communications Technology Office (ICTO), an agency attached to the Department of Science and Technology, said the local BPO industry aims to establish itself in the fields of healthcare information management, finance and accounting, human resources and creative processes.
Efforts to promote these sectors would go hand in hand with the continued development of the country's call-center industry now tagged as the biggest in the world.
"We are the world's number one call center provider and we intend to attain market leadership in the United Kingdom and Australia as well," ICTO Deputy Executive Director Alejandro Melchor said in a statement.
"With our new development programs for the BPO industry, we also intend to position the Philippines as a world leader in Healthcare Information Management Outsourcing, Finance and Accounting Outsourcing, HR Outsourcing, and Creative Process Outsourcing. Our goal is to double our market share by 2016 in Information Technology Outsourcing, Engineering Services Outsourcing and Multilingual BPO," Melchor said.
The industry posted over $9 billion in revenues in 2011, or an estimated 5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).
The ICTO said the government target was for this to increase to 8.6 percent of GDP by the end of the Aquino administration.
This translates to about $25 billion in revenues by 2016.
"We are expecting BPO not only to contribute significantly to the GDP in the next five years; its most significant impact would be on employment," ICTO Executive Director Louis Casambre said.
He said the government, through the ICTO, would launch several new initiatives that aim to improve the quality of college graduates in the country who can eventually seek employment in BPO companies.
"Our programs are not limited to that of industry but also improving the quality of our graduates and improve their chances of landing jobs not only in the BPO sector but in other industries as well," he said.
The Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) was equally optimistic about the industry's prospects, noting that the sector could create over four million jobs—1.3 million direct and about three million in support industries such as construction and retail—in the country in five years.
This will be possible, however, "only if the industry can further step up its partnership with government," BPAP chairman Alfredo Ayala said.

I'm 54. For breakfast I normally eat something I call pizza quiche which is basically a baked casserole of eggs and cheese with cream and hot Rotel/pizza sauce and spices along with a cup of coffee with coconut oil and heavy whipping cream added. I really don't have a problem eating the same thing most days for breakfast. Before I went low carb, I ate this Kellogs cereal called Just Right Fruit and Nut almost every day for well over a decade.
For low carb I generally try to get 10-20% of my calories from carbs primarily vegetables along with a little fruit and some nuts although I probably get more than I realize from beer. I try to get 60-65% of calories from fat and 20-25% from protein. Those numbers are my goals but I do stray sometimes like for instance last night when my wife surprised me with some Trader Joe's chocolate-dipped, pistachio-covered toffee as a gift. I'm not perfect but I generally stay in those ranges or close to them.
I try to eat fish particularly salmon at least twice a week which is nice because my wife makes great salmon dishes and everybody else likes them too. I also eat a good bit of baked chicken and other meat I cook on my big steel keg though I'm not adverse to BBQ pork or beef. I don't want my diet to affect the rest of the family so I'll eat whatever is cooked and just avoid things.
I also eat eggs cooked in a variety of ways for breakfast if I'm out of quiche. Lunch, if I eat it, is some combination of meat and vegetables and the same with dinner. I rarely eat bread and avoid potatoes and most other starches though I'll sometimes eat rice. I wouldn't eat any differently if I was playing a tournament than I would otherwise.
That is what I've found works for me. I've been doing it since March of 2011 and I feel great. My recent bloodwork was all good. However, everybody has to find what works for them. Low carb is not a quick fix but a lifestyle change which you commit to for as long as you want to keep the weight off. If I had a nickel for every doofus I've heard say 'low carb doesn't work because as soon as I started eating carbs again I gained all my weight back' my butler Alfred would be the one typing this reply for me. A low carb diet is NOT for everybody. I repeat, it is not for everybody but then again I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all diet that is. Good luck finding what works for you. It only took me 52 years.

By CHRISTINA LOWPhotos by SAMUEL ONG
ONE of Kuala Lumpur's early Malay settlements has been
earmarked for development. Rumour has it that the 200-
year-old Kg Haji Abdullah Hukum in Bangsar has been
marked for a major development comprising condominiums,
office blocks, shopping complex and there is even talk of a
transit hub to be built in the area. StarMetrospeaks to the
residents there to see what they think of the changes that
are coming their way.
For most of the remaining residents of Kampung Haji Abdullah Hukum, it is the sense of closeness to the city and the warm neighbourhood atmosphere that they will miss when they move out of their home of more than 30 years. But they all agree that it is time that some form of development take place in the area.
His shop, situated near the Sri Sakthi Nageswry Amman temple, is shaded by tall coconut trees and has no proper door. It is a popular stop for many seeking to have an economical haircut.
Mani, who followed in his father's footsteps, said he left school and took up the hair-cutting job at 12 and one of his regular customers, Abdul Samad, 62, has been frequenting his shop from day one till today.
"I have got so used to visiting Mani's shop that if he has to leave the village, I would definitely look for him at his new shop for more haircuts," said Abdul Samad who lives in an adjacent village but would often meet up with Mani for tea.
Leong Chong Moi and her husband Lam Kam Chong, who would be moving out of the village with their four children at the end of the year, said they too were happy that the village was going to be developed.
"We heard that a new bridge linking our village and Mid Valley would be built next year and we are very happy over the news," said Leong, who sells vegetables for a living at Brickfields.
Both she and Lam love taking care of their pet dogs and planting fruit trees around their home in the village. After moving into their new home, they felt it would be impossible for them to continue their hobbies.
Traders Mohd Salehan Abdullah and Hashim Othman, who operate a burger and satay stall respectively, felt that the impending development was generally good but they hoped to be able to continue their businesses elsewhere.
"There is no place like home, and this place is just so peaceful and quiet," said Hashim, who returns to his former home daily to prepare ingredients to cook the satay gravy.
"Sometimes I stay here on weekdays and only return to the flats where my family is staying on weekends. This is such a homely place to live in," said Hashim.
He too felt that developing the area was necessary but he would definitely be missing his favourite pastimes such as planting trees and cooking outdoors.
How the village got its name
Haji Abdullah Hukum, whose given name was Muhammad Rukun, came to Malaya at the age of 15 with his father back in the 1800s.
To earn a living he worked as a farmer and a contractor before he started opening lands and villages with the consent of Raja Laut, who was then the Raja Muda of Selangor.
Abdullah was later chosen by Raja Laut to head a mosque in Pudu.
He was also given the authority to start a nursery in Bukit Nanas and to open a village in Sungai Putih (now Jalan Bangsar).
After retiring, he continued to stay in the village in Sungai Putih which is now known as Kampung Haji Abdullah Hukum.

Cook the farfalle and broccoli together in plenty of well-salted water. In a wide pan, fry the garlic in the oil until starting to colour, then turn off the heat and add the chilli. When no longer sizzling, add the anchovies and crush with a wooden spoon to dissolve into the oil. When the pasta is almost ready, add the cream to the sauce and return to the heat. Drain the pasta (it should be quite al dente and the broccoli soft) and add to the sauce. Cook together until the sauce coats thickly, adding the parmesan and plenty of black pepper at the end.

Lou Reed: Rock 'n' roll poet of the streets
NEW YORK The stare from across a desk was enough for me to question whether my first and only interview with Lou Reed had been a good idea.
He'd already curtly dismissed a publicist who had dreamed for years of meeting his musical hero. Now Reed seemed to be debating whether my admitted sin - I wasn't a native New Yorker - was worth overlooking to get some business done.
Yes, Reed, who died Sunday at age 71 of liver disease related to a recent transplant, wasn't an easy man. New York isn't an easy town. Few artists reflected a city better than he did, and he found it an endless source of inspiration. The 2003 retrospective package we talked about claimed that status as a title: "NYC Man."
As a member of the Velvet Underground and later as a solo artist, Reed chronicled the rough side of a city at a time when it wasn't so hidden from view. Transvestites, drug addicts and prostitutes found a place in his music. Behind a loping bass line, the cinematic lyrics of "Walk on the Wild Side" brought that world to others. For many musicians, their best-known songs aren't necessarily representative of their work. That wasn't the case with Reed.
Many of his most popular songs, like "Sweet Jane," `'Rock and Roll" and "Heroin," dated from the period of the late 1960s into the 1970s with the Velvets and soon after they broke up.
The frequently challenging subject matter didn't lend itself to mass success and, "Walk on the Wild Side" excepted, Reed didn't achieve it. His singing voice didn't help, either; Reed had limited range and sang in a conversational style.
The Velvet Underground didn't sniff the top of the charts when alive, giving rise to a famous quote from producer and Roxy Music founder Brian Eno, who suggested that every one of the few people who bought their records, himself included, later started bands.
Many paid off their debts in tribute. U2 covered Reed's "Satellite of Love," the Cowboy Junkies did "Sweet Jane" and R.E.M. frequently performed "Pale Blue Eyes." His song "Perfect Day" had an extensive life, too.
Reed was an avant-garde artist who wore the black leather of a rocker and played a cutting guitar. Reed and his wife, performance artist Laurie Anderson, were a First Couple of an artistic scene that thrived on taking risks. Sometimes the risks didn't work - his last big project, the 2011 collaboration with Metallica called "Lulu," was widely seen as a clamorous mess - but very few people succeed at everything.
He was dismissive in our interview when asked what he hoped people would say about his work when he was gone.
"I don't give a (expletive)," he said. "Who knows or cares?
"I don't expect anything at all from anything and I never have," he said. "I'm not trying to change anybody's mind about anything. I'm not trying to win anybody over. I'm happy to get up in the morning. I can tie my shoelaces. I haven't got hit by a car. I just love the music and sound and wanted to make it better, so if someone else wanted to hear it, they'd get some bang for the buck."

So, yeah, there's much more to a PBR event than young men confronting massive, pissed-off animals. It's family entertainment in the best sense of the term: Looking around the stands, I saw hundreds of kids, their eyes bugging out at the sight of the wildly bucking bulls, especially post-ride, when the animals would frequently charge the length of the arena, pursued by a lasso-swinging cowboy on a white horse. Rasmussen got a fair amount of comic mileage from one bull's run, which thrilled a bunch of kids at ringside but seemed to spook the burly, full-grown security guard standing right next to them. (Soundtrack: Gloria Gaynor, "I Will Survive.") Oh, and did I mention there was a mid-show event with youngsters no older than eight clinging to the backs of galloping sheep while Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" blared in the background? Yeah, that happened.
Afterward, I met Shane Proctor, the night's winning rider with a score of 91.25 (don't ask me; the bull-riding scoring system is gymnastic-grade inscrutable). He claims to have no particular riding theme—just "any pump-up music there is, like Eminem. A lot of his stuff, just 'cause the beat's uptempo." He says he doesn't think the bulls notice the music, "but I sure know it affects me, and, if I'm excited, it gets them excited."

The promotion will move Vigus to Nashville, Tenn. He and his wife will remain in Newberry for a while and he said he is still committed to working with Newberry Hospital.

SIGH. The Yankees won another World Series, an outcome that until recently would have ruined the baseball season for me, as it has ruined so many in the past. Not anymore. My favorite team, you see, had a great year too, with Craig Biggio leading them to a championship. Please don't bother to write and remind me that the Houston Astros flopped in the playoffs and that Biggio, in particular, stunk. I'm not talking about the Astros. I don't even care about the Astros—or the Yankees. The only team that matters to me is the mighty Capitol Punishers, two-time champs of the Ro-Tex-Erie Fantasy Baseball League.
Fantasy baseball is for serious baseball fans only. You join a league, either with friends or on the Internet, select a roster of players from the ranks of Major League Baseball (or, in the case of the Ro-Tex-Erie FBL, the National League only), and accumulate points based upon their regular-season performance in real life. Fantasy baseball is what real baseball would be like if every player suddenly became a free agent and every team had to assemble its 25-man roster from scratch by bidding for players. To make the process fair to all, every team's payroll has to stay within a predetermined league salary cap. Hey, George Steinbrenner, you think you know something about baseball? Let's see you prove it: Join the Ro-Tex-Erie League, where your zillions won't do you any good.
"Ro-Tex-Erie" is a play on "Rotisserie," which was the name of the original fantasy league—a reference to a now-defunct New York restaurant where a group of friends met regularly to talk about baseball back in 1979. The idea for fantasy ball came to one of the group, Dan Okrent, now an editor-at-large at Time, Inc., but then the president of Texas Monthly Press, during a flight to Austin. He typed up the basic rules that night, and they haven't changed much since. "Rotisserie baseball in 1999 is a lot closer to Rotisserie baseball in 1980 than baseball in 1999 is to baseball in 1980," says Okrent, who no longer plays in a fantasy league.
Except that today, thanks to the Web, fantasy baseball is played by uncounted millions. A friend of mine joined an Internet league on the CNN/SI Web site that had 300,000 competitors. He finished in the top 1,600, roughly the top one-half of one percent—pretty impressive, but who can celebrate finishing in 1,584th place? Major League Baseball itself has an Internet fantasy league on its Web site. So do USAToday and ESPN. An offshoot of all this popularity has been the creation of a fantasy baseball industry. Although most Internet leagues cost less than $30 to join and some are free, many participants pay a premium for draft advice and statistical analysis. Every spring the sports sections of bookstores swell with paperbacks and magazines aimed at fantasy league owners, which are crammed with obscure statistical information, projections of player performance, and suggested draft value. These are not very useful; I seldom buy, uh, more than two or three.
The fundamental appeal of fantasy baseball is that it brings participants closer to the game they love. I have followed the sport since I was seven years old, and not since I collected baseball cards have I known so much about so many players. If you're going to be competitive, you have to know not only the difference between first basemen Mark McGwire and Ryan McGuire—that one is easy—but also the difference between middle relievers Carlos Reyes, Dennys Reyes, and Al Reyes (if you have to pick one, you want Dennys). Baseball fans have always pored over statistics and used them to argue the relative merits of their favorite players: Williams or DiMaggio, Mantle or Mays, McGwire or Sosa. Fantasy baseball provides a scoreboard for your judgment.
The crucial question for fantasy leaguers is not "How good is Mark McGwire?" but "How much is Mark McGwire worth?" The less you have to pay for a good player, the more you have left to spend on other good players. Last year, one team in our league, the Jackalopes, won the bidding for both McGwire, who went on to hit seventy home runs, and Greg Maddux, a pitcher who is a future Hall of Famer. Yet the Jackalopes finished near the bottom of the standings. They paid so dearly for the two stars ($45 for Maddux and $41 for McGwire out of a $280 payroll) that they didn't have enough money to assemble a good supporting cast. Good players are known quantities; the precious commodity in fantasy baseball is the marginal player who suddenly blossoms into a good one. One reason the Capitol Punishers finished first in 1998 is we were able to win a fading slugger named Greg Vaughn with a bid of just $10. He bounced back to hit fifty home runs.
Once you have put together a team, you score points in batting and pitching. (Defense doesn't count.) In the Ro-Tex-Erie League, your team's totals in five hitting categories—home runs, runs scored, runs batted in, stolen bases, and batting average—are compared with your rivals', and you get a point for each team you beat. The same is true for pitching, in which the categories are wins, strikeouts, saves, base runners allowed per inning, and earned run average. The more statistical categories a player excels in, the more valuable he is. Thus, the most valuable National League slugger in fantasy baseball is neither McGwire nor Sosa but Jeff Bagwell of the Astros, who scores more runs, steals far more bases, and hits for a higher average than the one-dimensional sluggers. (In fantasy ball, first place in stolen bases earns just as many points as first place in home runs.)
Every night of the season, the Capitol Punishers take the field on my computer screen. Several Web sites carry pitch-by-pitch reports on all eight National League games; I prefer the America Online version because it provides the simplest way to follow all

I felt joyous and exuberant through the inevitable exhaustion of the Democratic primary campaign, as I had felt in Wyoming and West Virginia in 1960 for Jack, and in Indiana and California in 1968 for Bobby. "No one said we couldn't have a little fun!" I shouted to a Latino crowd in San Antonio before belting out "Ay Jalisco No Te Rajes" in my version of Spanish. I had so much fun that I sang it again in Laredo. By mid-May, Obama had won the crucial North Carolina primary and had taken the lead in committed delegates. Some commentators were declaring the race already over. I certainly intended to keep on campaigning for him through the late spring and summer, but there was time to steal away for a few sails on Nantucket Sound.
On May 16 I took part in a ceremony at a favorite historic site of mine, the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, where I joined Massachusetts congressman Barney Frank and others to cut the ribbon at the Corson Maritime Learning Center. Barney and I had secured appropriations for repairs and other improvements to the building after it was damaged in a 1997 fire. I felt especially good that day, and threw away my prepared remarks to speak from my heart about my love for New Bedford, and the sea, and for the connection to our history that the park represented. Vicki told me afterward that Barbara Souliotis, our dear friend and the longtime chief of staff of my Boston office, who was sitting beside her, turned and whispered, "He's really on today!" I certainly felt "on." Change was in the air. And tomorrow, Vicki and I would enjoy our first sail of the year.
But that next morning, everything changed.
I had just meandered through the living room and had come within two steps of the grand piano that my mother, Rose, used to play for the family more than half a century ago as we gathered for dinner. Sometimes Jack, young and thin in his customary rumpled pullover, would stand at about the spot where I passed just then, and sing a solo to Mother's accompaniment.
Suddenly I felt disoriented. I moved toward the door leading to the porch, where several spacious chairs face the lovely prospect that I've known since childhood: a view to Nantucket Sound and the several masted boats at anchor in the nearby harbor. "Well," I told myself, "I'll just go outside and get some fresh air."
I didn't make it outside. Everything seemed hazy. I walked past the front door and into the dining room, where I lowered myself into a chair. That's the last thing I remember until I awoke in the hospital.
I learned later that I'd been discovered almost at once by Judy Campbell, our household assistant. Judy called out for Vicki, who was still in the sunroom, waiting for me to return. When Vicki saw me, she ran to my side and instructed Judy to call 911, and then my physician in Boston, Dr. Larry Ronan. As she waited for the local rescue team to arrive, Vicki wedged herself into the chair beside me and cradled my head. I was not aware of it then, but she held me tenderly, kissing my cheek and patting me and whispering, "You're going to be okay."

Currently, our database uses Win1252 as the only character encoding. We will have to support Unicode in the database tables soon, which means we have to perform this migration for four databases and around 80 Delphi applications which run in-house in a 24/7 environment. Are there recommendations for database migrations to UTF-8 (or UNICODE_FSS) for Delphi applications? Some questions listed below. Many thanks in advance for your answers!
- are there tools which help with the migration of the existing databases (sizes between 250 MB and 2 GB, no Blob fields), by dumping the data, recreating the database with UNICODE_FSS or UTF-8, and loading the data back?
- are there known problems with Delphi 2009, dbExpress and Interbase 7.5 related to Unicode character sets?
- would you recommend to upgrade the databases to Interbase 2009 first? (This upgrade is planned but does not have a high priority)
- can we simply migrate the database and Delphi will handle the Unicode character sets automatically, or will we have to change all character field types in every Datamodule (dfm and source code) too?
- which strategy would you recommend to work on the migration in parallel with the normal development and maintenance of the existing application? The application runs in-house so development and database administration is done internally.
Update: From InterBase discussion forum thread: Unicode Databases in InterBase - Really? (it is not a thread by me but it shows that some problems still exist in InterBase XE).
Here are some reports I've submitted: QC#92867 - String fields are blank coming from Views only if the View includes a Union, and when using a ClientDataSet. This was found as missing data on a few of my reports, which no longer work.
QC#91494 - IB Character column data Character fields (eg: Char(1)) are padded with blanks when retrieved through a stored procedure. Tests fail - eg: If Active = "Y". I make heavy use of stored procedures with forms and these do not work.
QC#91355 - IBSqlMonitor fails. The output of IBSqlMonitor is somewhat garbled making this tool useless. (So, even my shovel is broken!)
Unreported - Persistent fields in TClientDataSet fail for TWideString.
Other related QC entries:
QC#94455 SQL Unicode Char Type Failure (InterBase XE)

Day at leisure
We love this resort so much that we decided to stay another day and night. The photos of Pocatky were taken from a 16th. century bell tower. We were inside at 12 noon but the bells didn't ring. Thank goodness.
Photo of the time keeper's "nest" are included.
We both had massages today.
Drive Time
Left our Prague apartment this morning and drove to this fitness resort. Foot massage for 2 (that's people not feet) at 6 PM. Horseback riding at 10 AM, full body massage at 2 and Jacuzzi at 7:30 tomorrow. We should really be relaxed by Tuesday!!
Great weather, great time.
Day 18 - Our Last Travel Day
Our last travel day (not including tomorrow's long flight home) began at 8:30 after breakfast at the hotel in Prague.
Not too much to report here.
We stopped for a break at the town of Tabor, Czech Republic, where we had about 45 minutes to stretch our legs and grab a coffee. Our last chance to get rid of our Czech Crowns (Money).
From there we completed our trip back to Vienna, Austria, with a stop for lunch along the way.

|Oil price shocks and stock market behavior: empirical evidence for the U.S. and European Countries
|Park, Jung Wook, 1968-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|This dissertation analyze the relationship between oil price shocks and stock market for the US and 13 European countries with monthly data from 1986.1-2005.12. Three countries (Denmark, Norway and the UK) among 13 European countries are oil exporting countries. Unrestricted multivariate Vector Autoregression (VAR) with 4 variables (interest rates, real oil price changes, industrial production and real stock returns) is estimated as well as impulse response function and variance decomposition. With regard to impact of oil price shocks on the stock market, in most oil importing countries oil price shocks have significantly negative effect on the stock market in the same month or in one month, while among oil exporting countries only Norway shows a significantly positive response of real stock returns to oil price shocks. Comparing the impacts of oil price shocks and interest rate (monetary) shocks on the stock market, in most oil importing countries oil price shocks have a greater impact than interest rate shocks, except for a few countries where monetary policy responds systemically to oil price shocks by raising interest rates, which leads to a decline in real stock returns. Therefore, taking into account the response of monetary policy to oil price shocks, oil prices play a crucial role in the stock market of oil importing countries. On the contrary, in oil exporting countries oil price shocks have a smaller impact on the stock market than interest rate shocks, and monetary policy does not respond to the oil price shocks. According to the literature, oil price shocks have an asymmetric effect on economic activity and the stock market in that oil price increases have a greater impact than oil price decreases. However, in this dissertation, the asymmetric pattern is a little different. In the sub-sample period (1996.5-2005.12) when oil price increases more frequently than oil price decreases and the average magnitude of oil price increases is smaller than that of oil price decreases, stock markets in most countries are more influenced by oil price decreases than oil price increases in the variance decomposition analysis. In particular, statistically significant evidence at the 5% level is found that oil price decreases have a greater impact on real stock returns than oil price increases after the mid 1990's in the US.

Signs and Symptoms of Cancer
In most cases, the best time to diagnose cancer is before it produces any signs or symptoms at all. But, if this is not possible, it is important to know what kind of clinical findings may indicate cancer. A sign is an objective indicator of an abnormality or problem usually detected and interpreted by a physician. Examples include blood pressure, temperature, masses, and weight loss. A symptom is a subjective report provided by the patient. Examples include pain, dizziness, and headache. According to the National Cancer Institute, the most common signs and symptoms of cancer include:
- Thickening or lump in the breast or any other part of the body, including persistent swelling in the lymph nodes
- Conspicuous change in a wart or mole
- Sore that does not heal
- Nagging cough or hoarseness
- Persistent changes in bowel or bladder habits
- Persistent indigestion or difficulty swallowing
- Unexplained changes in weight (up or down), or change in girth
- Unusual bleeding or discharge
Certainly, in most cases these symptoms are not caused by cancer. They may be due to infections, benign tumors, or other medical problems. However, if you are experiencing any of these symptoms, your doctor should be the one to make the determination.
Your doctor will take a complete medical history and perform a routine physical examination. The history will include important information such as a detailed description of your current symptoms, past and ongoing illnesses, family history of cancer, or exposure to known or suspected cancer causing agents. During the physical exam, your doctor will carefully check for any suspicious abnormalities such as masses, alterations in the skin texture or color, or an unusual swelling in the lymph nodes or other organs. To learn more about the possible causes of cancer, see the causes of cancer section in Cancer 101.
Your doctor will combine all the information from your history and physical exam to determine the likelihood of cancer. Based on this assessment, he or she may either perform specific tests designed to detect the cancer or, if a cancer diagnosis is unlikely, teach you what signs and symptoms to look for in the future.

Area Teachers Learn New Technology
By Ben Jipson
NOV. 10, 2006--Nearly 140 K-12 teachers from nine local school districts spent a recent Saturday at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls learning new and innovative technologies to apply in the classroom.
The 2006 Technology Integration Workshop was held at the Wyman Education Building and the Chalmer Davee Library on Nov. 4 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
The purpose of the workshop was not to just teach educators to use software, but to explore how to integrate technology into their classrooms and their students' lives. Mary Manke, assistant dean of the UWRF College of Education and Professional Studies, says that positive learning and teaching opportunities that result from well-equipped classrooms, but problems can arise if teachers aren't taught how to use the technology.
"Historically, it's been easier to get funding to put technology in schools than it has been to help teachers see how to use it effectively," Manke said.
Students in today's K-12 classrooms are a technology-oriented generation of kids, explained Manke, and proper training is essential to keep up with the constantly evolving technology. Not only has interest in technology education grown because of teacher motivation, but also because school administrators are encouraging teachers become familiar with the latest teaching strategies.
Presentations by teachers who have shown excellence in the area of technology in teaching were the central focus of the day, and there were also presentations led by members of UWRF's Technology Leadership Cadre (TLC). Presenters showed teachers how to use and put to use software programs including Inspiration, Kidspiration, Smart Board, PhotoShop, iMovie, as well as Microsoft PowerPoint, Word and Excel.
Most of the 90-minute sessions were held in the Wyman Education Building's high-tech classrooms and Technology Education Center, and others were held in the computer labs at the Chalmer Davee Library.
The following area teachers participated:
Boyceville : Angela Hellman, Mary Kay Kryshak, Rochelle Olson and Katie Ouellette

Metadata can be defined literally as "data about data," but the term is normally understood to mean structured data about digital (and non-digital) resources that can be used to help support a wide range of operations. These might include, for example, resource description and discovery, the management of information resources (including rights management) and their long-term preservation. In the context of digital resources, there exists a wide variety of metadata formats. Viewed on a continuum of increasing complexity, these range from the basic records used by robot-based Internet search services, through relatively simple formats like the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES) and the more detailed Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) header and MARC formats, to highly specific formats like the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata, the Encoded Archival Description (EAD) and the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) Codebook.

Neighbor: Fort Hood suspect emptied his apartment
FORT HOOD, Texas An Army psychiatrist suspected of opening fire on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood cleaned out his apartment in the days before the rampage that left 13 people dead, a neighbor said Friday.
The neighbor, Patricia Villa, said Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan came over to her apartment Wednesday and Thursday and offered her some items, including a new Quran, saying he was going to be deployed on Friday. She wasn't sure if he was going to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Authorities said Hasan went on a shooting spree later Thursday at the sprawling Texas post. He was among 30 people wounded in the spree and remained hospitalized on a ventilator Friday. All but two of the injured were still hospitalized, and all were in stable condition.
Investigators were still trying to piecing together how and why an Army psychiatrist facing deployment allegedly gunned down his comrades in one of the worst mass shootings ever on an American military base.
"This was an individual who took it upon himself to attack and murder his colleagues, people who were on the base with him," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Sky News from Brussels, Belgium. "That investigation is under way by law enforcement authorities, and let's let that be the No. 1 priorty in terms of ascertaining what motivations he had."
An imam from a mosque Hasan regularly attended said Hasan, a lifelong Muslim, was a committed soldier, gave no sign of extremist beliefs and regularly wore his uniform at prayers. Hasan is of Palestinian descent.
The family of the suspected Fort Hood shooter said in a statement "the actions of their cousin are despicable and deplorable." His actions don't reflect how they were raised in the U.S., the family statement added.
Soldiers who witnessed the rampage reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" — an Arabic phrase for "God is great!" — before opening fire, said Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the base commander. He said officials had not yet confirmed that Hasan made the comment before the shooting spree.
Villa, who recently moved next door to Hasan, said she had never spoken to him before he came over to her apartment.
She said Hasan gave her frozen broccoli, spinach, T-shirts and shelves on Wednesday, then returned Thursday morning and gave her his air mattress, several briefcases and a desk lamp. He then offered her $60 to clean his apartment Friday morning, after he was supposed to leave.
The motive for the shooting wasn't clear, but someone who used to work with Hasan said he had expressed some anger about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Retired Col. Terry Lee told Fox News said Hasan had hoped President Barack Obama would pull troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq and got into frequent arguments with others in the military who supported the wars.
But another neighbor said Hasan appeared to be OK with his pending deployment, which he said was supposed to be to Afghanistan.
"I asked him how he felt about going over there, with their religion and everything, and he said, 'It's going to be interesting,'" said Edgar Booker, a 58-year-old retired soldier who now works in a cafeteria on the post.

I know this is anecdotal evidence from just one person, but to me it's absolutely real. I am disheartened when I read posts that hold the politically-motivated blathering of Rush Limbaugh and his ilk in higher regard than actual observations of scientists and other people with meaningful experience.
If we are talking about ocean life, you really need to get off your boat and get your face down where the fish live.

The Fault in Our Stars, a novel that I have recently read and instantly fell in love with, is the subject of this blog. If you haven't read or even heard of this amazing novel by John Green, you should find a copy as soon as possible. The story is narrated by a young cancer patient named Hazel Grace. She takes you through her journey with her newly found love, Augustus Waters. Augustus uses his clever and quite witty personality to give Hazel a new perspective on her complicated life. Before meeting Augustus she had to be pushed out of the house by her parents, she didn't have anything to live for or to be excited about. But after her first time meeting Augustus her whole life took a turn for the better. This book is full of emotional content, some moments will make you laugh out loud, while others will make you start to cry your heart out. You may think I am exaggerating, but ask anyone who has read it; they will most definitely back me up.
During the novel you will travel to Amsterdam with Hazel and Augustus to seek out answers from Hazel's favorite author. While in Amsterdam, Augustus tells Hazel life altering information that inspires her to make the most out of her life. The trip to Amsterdam created a lifelong memory for both Hazel and Augustus. After the once in a lifetime trip Hazel's life gets more complicated; her health and the health of some of her new found friends start to influence her decisions and the way she spends her time. I don't want to spoil too much of the plot, so I will leave it to you to find out the rest of the story for yourself. All I can say is, you won't believe the connection that will develop between you and the characters in this story. You will fall in love with their unique personalities and views on life. Soon enough you will talk about them as if they were old friends! You can tell that the author cared about each character as if they were real people, and strived for you to make individual connections with each one.
The Fault in Our Stars is most definitely on my list of top 10 books that I have ever read. This book is what I call a true page turner. I read this book in less than two days, and it is over 300 pages! If that doesn't prove the awesomeness of this novel I don't know what will. This book will not let you down; you will instantly fall in love with the characters and the thought behind the plot. But just a warning, you may want a box of tissues by your side while reading this book, for your happy tears and the not so happy tears. If you haven't yet realized it, I truly believe that you should read this book as soon as possible. So pick up a copy on your way home or from the library, and start reading! You will be glad you did. Once you have finished the novel, you can rent the recently released movie that depicts the novel as well as any Hollywood production can. Happy reading!

Family Cabins: Family life
If the hotel experience is too 'public' for your tastes or you have kids who need space to run, try the family cabins. They're located south and east of the Nature Center. Anywhere from 1/2 mile to 3/4 miles from the State Park Lodge. The 'small' cabins sleep 4 down and 2 up, although we only put 2 up and 3 down. Downstairs is a room with a double bed and a room with 2 bunks (up and down). Upstairs is a single room (wall comes out from the wall with a bed on each side. The kitchen, living room and bathroom are on the 1st floor. If the weather's bad, it can be a bit tight. There are two screened in porches that offer fresh air and room to spread out is warm weather. Of course, there's the great outdoors all around.
The 'large' cabins are 4 down and 4 up. The only difference is that upstairs there are supposed to be 2 rooms with 2 beds each. We've never stayed in the large cabin, so we're not really sure. From the outside, they look the same size.
Each cabin has a charcoal grill and picnic table outside. Some overlook the golf course and the others are set up along the woods (wetlands). There's plenty of room between cabins. A few are connected by a boardwalk, so that larger groups can rent 2 cabins and have them 'linked'. The area is quiet and traffic is minimal and slow. The kids have plenty of room to play in the grass.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
From Staff ReportsLaw and order Topping a list of notable stories and headlines in Henry County for 2007 was the tragic and untimely deaths of two Henry County teenagers. The case stemmed from the deaths of two teenage girls at a high school graduation party in June. Sixteen-year-olds Molly Cohran and Yahshika Frye suffered fatal gunshot wounds at a party June 2, at the clubhouse at St. Ives Crossing Apartments in Stockbridge. Later that month, Henry County Police arrested two men in connection with the deaths. Police say 18-year-old Labaron Devon Curry, of Stockbridge, shot the two girls with a gun handed to him by Dewayne Ivory, 18, of Locust Grove, as a fight was breaking out in the clubhouse. Ivory was released from the Henry County Jail in August, on $50,00 bond. Curry is being held without bond in the Henry County Jail. A McDonough man is now serving eight years in prison for arson, as a result of an attempt to avoid being caught for a probation violation. In February, McDonough Police arrested Anthony Jahvon Harris, 20, for setting fire to a temporary probation office in October 2006. At the time of Harris' arrest, McDonough Police Chief Preston Dorsey said Harris had been on probation for drug-related charges, and set the fire because he was trying to avoid a probation violation after taking a drug test. Harris pleaded guilty in November to arson in the first degree and was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with eight to serve in the state penal system. Charges are still pending against 18-year-old John Devin Dobson, of McDonough, the man police say drove Harris to the probation office the night of the fire. In July, a former Henry County Police officer was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with four to serve, for child molestation and statutory rape. Randolph Christman Cobian ,Jr., 30, pleaded guilty to the charges. In 2005, the father of a teenage girl found the officer with the girl at her home. According to Henry County Assistant District Attorney Jim Wright, sexual activity was "evident" between Cobian and the girl. Maintaining Cobian's innocence at sentencing was attorney Lee Sexton. He said Cobian's actions were "wrong, but not illegal," because the former officer did not have sexual relations with the girl before she turned 16. Several child abuse cases garnered attention in Henry in 2007, as well. In April, Henry County Police arrested 43-year-old Sandra Lewis, of Ellenwood, and charged her with burning her two adopted sons with a hot cooking pot. In June, defense attorney Rodney Zell said Lewis, a medical technician, did not seek medical attention for the boys' injuries because she thought she could take care of the injuries herself. Less than a month later, police arrested a Hampton father for burning his children as an act of discipline. Bruce Edward Ennis was arrested May 15 and charged with aggravated battery. According to Henry Police Capt. Jason Bolton, Ennis burned the hands of his children, 11 and 14, as punishment for an alleged shoplifting incident. Both Lewis and Ennis have pleaded not guilty to their respective charges. Charges are also pending against a McDonough couple suspected of committing acts of child cruelty against their two adopted children. Earl Thomas Dinkler, 42, and Deborah Williamson Dinkler, 41, were arrested in August. McDonough Police say the couple caused "excessive" pain to their children, ages 13 and 11, over a four-year period by forcing them to do strenuous exercises, and beating them when they refused. The Dinklers, who waived arraignment Dec. 12, are currently free on $100,00 bond each. Henry also experienced its share of tragic, accidental deaths. In April, a 15-year-old from Stockbridge was killed in an accident just days before he was set to perform in a production with the Henry Players. Christian Benitez died in Conyers April 1, when the car he was a passenger in, veered off Ga. Highway 212, hit a tree and a utility pole, and caught fire. Two others also died in the accident. In May, the law enforcement community in Henry lost one of its own. Henry Sheriff's Deputy Marvin Scarlett, 42, died May 20, in an accident on Interstate 75. Since Scarlett's death, numerous fund-raisers and related events have been conducted by the sheriff's office and the police department in his memory. In government. Some of McDonough's city officials voted in favor of a video taping resolution to prohibit video recording equipment at City Council, Board of Zoning Appeals, Planning Commission and Historic Preservation Commission meetings, unless the equipment is authorized by the city. The city had to pull the resolution about a week later, after the former city attorney, Scott Bennett, admitted that he provided the council with the wrong advice. The city is currently researching different avenues to record their meetings by hiring an outside party or partnering with the county ... The Henry County Board of Commissioners debated for over an hour in a regular public meeting about whether to impose a one-year residential rezoning for Henry County. Commissioners Johnny Basler, Reid Bowman and Warren Holder voted against the moratorium. Commissioners Elizabeth "BJ" Mathis, Randy Stamey and Chairman Jason Harper voted in favor of the moratorium. The tie vote sunk the proposal. Mathis hopes that an economic impact study of the county will encourage commissioners, who were against the resolution, to change their minds ... The Henry County Communications department launched Henry TV 14, the county's very own cable channel in April. The channel airs county news events, information channels and county commission meetings. Only Charter subscribers can view the channel. In the future, the department hopes to expand the communications department and add more people to the staff ... Henry County voters passed their third round of the Special Purpose Local Option Sales tax program. The county SPLOST is a 1-cent sales tax that will continue the county's previous program. The tax allows the county to collect money for improvement projects. County officials estimate that SPLOST III will generate $300 million in revenue. Chairman Jason Harper said if SPLOST III did not pass the county would lose $50 million each year that it is not place ... Henry County is the fastest growing county of the decade according to the Atlanta Regional Commission. In 2006, the county had the highest growth in the state: five percent. It had an 8,800 population increase from 2006 to 2007. Atlanta's 10-county region is also expanding. The region includes Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Rockdale and the city of Atlanta. The 10-county region had a 104,000 population increase between April 2006 and 2007. In schools For the Henry County School System, the year was marked by financial rewards and restraint, school growth, and the announcement that its chief officer would be retiring with the school year. In January, officials were surprised to learn the school system would receive a $500,000 check from the Henry County Board of Commissioners as reimbursement for tax collection fees that were unequally imposed. "It was just an issue of fairness," said Board of Commissioners Chairman Jason Harper. The reimbursement came after an audit of the county's tax collection fees to determine how much the school system owed the county for collecting its share of property taxes. The school system had received about 61 percent of the county's property and ad valorem tax revenue. But paid more than the equivalent in fees. The news came as a positive twist to the Henry County Board of Education's more cynical outlook on its budget for the 2008 fiscal year. Earlier in 2007, the board projected it would receive more than $3 million in state funding cuts for education before dipping some $2 million into deficit for the fiscal year of 2008. Several months into the 2008, $301 million budget, those projections are apace, said Jeff Allie, system finance director. "In our current ... budget, expenditures [will eventually] exceed revenue by $2 million," Allie said. "In the coming months, we must continue to adhere to our very conservative budget to ensure that expenditures do not exceed budgeted amounts." What has helped the board's finances in recent years has been the inclusion of the county's 1-cent sales tax for education. In March, Henry County voters supported the continuation of the sales tax, also known as SPLOST III. The SPLOST III referendum received about 72 percent of the favorable vote, before provisional ballets, with less than 5 percent of the county's more than 100,000 registered voters turning out. The referendum extended the county's five-year tax for education through 2012 to raise an estimated $300 million in collections. School officials said the money would be used to help construct new classrooms to address overcrowding in the county's schools. In 2007, the school system opened five new schools to relieve crowding at various area schools. The school system grew by more than a thousand students in 2007, but came up about a thousand short of its previous projection of 40,145. Rounding out the year for the school system was the resignation of its chief officer. In October, Superintendent Jack Parish announced his retirement from the Henry County School System. Parish said he believes his successor will have to be able to demonstrate an ability to effectively work in a fast-growing, diverse school system. "I believe the next superintendent of schools must have varied experiences as a professional educator with knowledge and understanding in the areas of curriculum and instruction, administration, and finance," he said. "The person should have excellent leadership qualities, with a vision for the future of the school system." Parish, who was a finalist for Georgia's 2008 Superintendent of the Year, has served 30 years in education. His retirement officially begins on July 1, 2008, after which he says he may consider teaching in higher education.

The first thing I did was to turn the power off to the stove by turning the Stove circuit breaker off at the Main breaker panel. I next removed the 4 burners by pulling them out of their plug-in blocks. I then removed the four screws that held the top of the stove to the body so I could access the bad plug-in block, the screws were located under each of the burners drip pans. I next removed the screw holding the bad block. I lifted up the top of the stove so as to relocate the bad block, with wires connected, through the opening of the back burner. The bad block was located in the front rt part of the stove and by rerouting this to the back I could lay the top down and have easy access to what I needed to replace. I next used the knife to make a cut down the length of the old shrink tubing so as to gain access to the old splice. I next removed the old wire nuts which allowed the removal of the bad block. I then install the new clips into the new block. I installed one each shrink tubing onto each of the pigtails from the new clips and twisted the one new wire to the stove wiring harnes were the old wire was connected . I connected the seconded wire in the same manner. I pulled on each wire to verify that they were tightly secured together. I then positioned each shrink tubing over each wire nut (you have to fold the wire nut and wires down against the wire so as the shrink tubing will slip over the wire nut) and used a heating tool (hair dryer on high) to shrink the tubing around the wire nutted connection. I next installed the metal clip that would hold the block to the stove top. I placed the new block back to the location where the old block came from and secured it with the new screw provided by the kit. I re-installed the four screws to hold the top down, plugged in the four burners, turned the power on at the breaker box and turned the burner on to test that it work.

Photos: David Shafer, MD, Develops the World's First Plastic Surgery Themed Apple iPhone Application
NEW YORK, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ — Manhattan-based aesthetic plastic surgeon, Dr. David Shafer, announces The Shafer Plastic Surgery App, the world's first plastic surgery iPhone Application.
To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/shaferplasticsurgery/40564/
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20091014/NY91954 )
The interactive program taps into Dr. Shafer's informational database of over 1,000 FAQ's covering invasive and non-invasive plastic surgery procedures and treatments. For example: "Is liposuction better than tummy tuck?" Answer: "It all depends on your body. If you have good skin elasticity, but a moderate amount of fat, then liposuction may be best. If you have loose skin and poor abdominal tone, then abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) may be your best option. . ."
The "lite" version, which is a free service, gives users the ability to look at a sampling of existing questions and answers. The full version of the app runs for $2.99, and in addition to full database access, allows people to ask questions directly to Dr. Shafer. Relevant questions and answers are then added to the database. Both versions feature an "About Dr. Shafer" section and provide direct links to Dr. Shafer's website and office email.
Dr. Shafer created the app for the modern plastic surgery patient, who he says is "sophisticated, inquisitive and information seeking." Since the app is continually updated, the database is constantly growing and evolving to showcase the most up-to-date info available. As an aesthetic plastic surgeon, Dr. Shafer works to stay on the cutting edge of technological and surgical developments to offer his patients the best possible treatment and advice.
Dr. Shafer is developing a similar Palm application.
Dr. David Shafer is trained in all aspects of plastic and reconstructive surgery, specializing in aesthetic plastic surgery. He trained at The Mayo Clinic, a facility consistently ranked best in class for hospitals and surgical training. He was selected to continue his education as an Aesthetic Surgery Fellow at the Manhattan Ear, Eye & Throat Hospital (MEETH) in New York City. Following medical school, Dr. Shafer began his surgical residency at the Arizona Burn Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
Dr. Shafer has contributed to a number of peer-reviewed articles and chapters of facelift techniques, Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, and anesthesia for plastic surgery. He continues to operate at MEETH and teaches plastic surgery residents from New York University, Columbia University, Cornell and Lenox Hill Hospitals.
