Yahoo Mail to offer unlimited storage

Google to offer gigabyte of free e-mailApril 1, 2004
Yahoo currently offers 1 gigabyte for its free mail service and 2GB for its premium fee-based service. Google's free Gmail service offers more than 2.5GB of storage, and Windows Live Hotmail offers 2GB for free.
"We are watching the trend lines of how people are using e-mail...and they are sending more photos and videos and rich media," said John Kremer, vice president of Yahoo Mail.
Google began the storage wars in earnest when it launched Gmail in April 2004 with 1GB of storage. Yahoo Mail, which launched in 1997 with 4MB of storage, upgraded to 100MB of storage shortly after Google's Gmail announcement, bumped it up to 250MB in late 2004, and then up to 1GB in 2005.
With 250 million users, Yahoo Mail is the largest global e-mail provider and the largest in the U.S., according to comScore.
The unlimited storage will begin rolling out globally in May, and Yahoo expects to have all of its customers covered within a month, except for China and Japan. "We will continue working with these markets on their storage plans," Kremer said.

- unlimited yahoo mail storage
- I consider Yahoo mail the best of the rest, the extra storage sounds great, especially with all the jpegs and mpegs we send.....now what about the final version of the new yahoo mail including the promising Photo Mail which has been stalled in a beta version far too long? *~*

- It's all marketing
- The same reason Google constantly increases the size. It's all well and good they offer us 2GB+ storage space, but how many people will use it? How many will use half of it? How many will use a quarter? I've had gmail for well over a year and have barely scratched the surface of my available space--and I've made strides to fill it up. I have all sorts of backed up data in there.
In the long run, it's nice that "unlimited space" is available, but no one could or would be able to make much use of the available space.
It's all in the marketing.

- Nice, but...
- I decided to go with Gmail. I wanted to like Yahoo Mail, but it
lacked some features that I really came to enjoy in Gmail. I like
Gmail's conversation/threading and the ability to reply to mail from
the same address that a message was sent to. But, I'm happy to see
Yahoo lead the way with unlimited storage. Perhaps it'll cause
others to do the same.

I think Yahoo et.al. (groogle, Microsoft and others whol follow) will find that they are shooting themselves in the foot by offering this.
Oh well, sometimes BAD descisions are made. I know I will take FULL ADVANTAGE of this offer.
Thanks Yahoooooooooooooooo ;-)

- Just get ready
- Just get ready to send yourself thousands of e-mails with attachments, since you figure that Yahoo will retain a fairly tight limit on size and number of e-mail attachments. Get ready to send 60GB in 8MB increments.
With minimal effort you can automate this, but still it's going to be way too much work for the average user to undertake.

- AOL Has Terrible Customer Service!
- In reply to "roybenyoseph" who works for AOL Mail.
The problem with AOL Mail (or any other department) is that they have the worst customer service of anybody. Just trying to report an issue is almost impossible. Two days ago, I went to AOL Help to report an issue (non-mail related).
First of all, just finding a way to email them with an issue requires going through a maze. If you try the easy way by clicking "contact us" at the bottom of the page ( http://help.aol.com/aimhelp/supportcentral/supportcentral.do?id=m1 ) you will find that the link doesn't even work.
Live help is reserved for ISP members only.
Because they don't provide an email address (at least one that I could find) I finally sent my issue to email@example.com.
That was two days ago and I still haven't heard anything.
But, anybody who has had or had dealings with AOL "support" (I was a member for many years) knows that once I get the reply it will be "canned" answer the most likely will not address the issue, supplied by an outsourced call center, who's job is to answer as many email and phone issues as possible, without regard to actually resolving the issue.
AOL used to be the big dog of the internet, but it has continued to loose market share due, in a large part, to terrible customer service.
I have an AOL free mail account, but never use it because I know that getting any assistance with any issue is near impossible.
I am sure you are proud of your work at AOL, as you should be. But until AOL gets it act together an other areas, such as customer support, AOL will continue to have the reputation of "AOHell".

If they wanted to say a specific date, like "May 1st" they would say that. Just as "3Q" is always END of Sepetember as close to October 1st as they can get), then a "May" launch will be almost June 1 bet. Then why not say "around June" then? Because "May" sounds earlier.

Thyroid hormone tests are blood tests that check how well the
thyroid gland is working. The thyroid gland makes
hormones that regulate the way the body uses energy.
The thyroid
gland is a butterfly-shaped gland that lies in front of your windpipe
(trachea), just below your voice box (larynx). The thyroid gland uses iodine
from food to make two thyroid
hormones: thyroxine (T4) and
triiodothyronine (T3). The thyroid gland stores these
thyroid hormones and releases them as they are needed.
hormones are needed for normal development of the brain, especially during the
first 3 years of life.
Intellectual disability may occur if a baby's thyroid gland
does not produce enough thyroid hormone (congenital
hypothyroidism). Older children also need thyroid
hormones to grow and develop normally, and adults need the hormones to regulate
the way the body uses energy (metabolism). The
United States Preventive Services Task Force
recommends that all newborns be tested for congenital hypothyroidism.1
Thyroid hormone blood tests include:

Adultery, fraternization charges at Camp Pendleton courts martial a career ender
Sykes' wife Raquel said her husband is innocent and they have never had problems with infidelity during their 11-year marriage.
"The Marine Corps is his life. It's the Marine Corps first and our schedule has to fit around him and his Marines. That's why I am so shocked that anyone would say this. He has never done anything to any woman, ever."
Sykes appealed to the base inspector general, his Texas congressman and the media because he did not believe he could get a fair hearing at court martial. "No one wants to disappoint the general," Sykes said.
However, a recent case at Camp Pendleton involving a former Marine recruiter that attracted national attention indicates military juries do not always rubber stamp the wishes of the commander who convened the court martial.
On May 3, a jury of Marines who were presented DNA evidence of the crime convicted Gunnery Sgt. Nicholas Howard of raping a woman at a backyard get-together when she was temporarily separated from her boyfriend. Military prosecutors asked for a sentence of five to seven years. The jury, facing no minimum sentencing requirements, stripped Howard of his rank and gave him a dishonorable discharge but no jail time.
When the sentence was announced "the entire chain of command's jaws dropped," Anchorage police detective Brett Sarber, who testified at the trial, told the Anchorage Daily News. "They could not believe it."
Adultery, like oral sex with one's spouse or anyone else, is a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, whose 1950s-era provisions are overdue for an update according to prominent military law experts.
Adultery cases preferred to courts-martial
114 in 2010
104 in 2011
117 in 2012
39 since mid-May 2013
Source: Marine Corps headquarters
But adultery is rarely prosecuted unless other crimes are involved such as drug use.
The added scrutiny of sexual misconduct does not appear to have resulted so far in an increase in adultery charges involving consensual sex. In 2010, 114 adultery cases were preferred to courts-martial; in 2011 it was 104; in 2012 it was 117 and through mid-May, 39, according to figures from Headquarters Marine Corps.
A single service member can be charged with adultery for knowingly entering into a relationship with someone who is married, according to Capt. Eric Flanagan, a spokesman for Marine Corps Staff Judge Advocate Division.
The command recommended that the woman who claimed she had sex with the "Fab Five" be charged with fraternization and adultery. Others apparently decided the woman had enough troubles.
The night before her third suicide attempt, she sent a text to one of the staff sergeants she was allegedly involved with, saying: "I should just burn in hell. I don't want to live and I don't know when to say no because I just want to fit in and be nice. All I want is a nice house a husband who adores me and beautiful healthy children. I just want to be normal and apparently I am an outcast."
Among the others in the Camp Pendleton sex case, Staff Sgt. Tyrell Williams was tried by special court martial before a jury of military peers and was found guilty of conspiracy to commit fraternization. He is serving a 90-day sentence in the brig and was reduced in rank.

'Romeo and Juliet' a stirring romance
City Ballet lives up to ambitious work
Other standouts were Alvarado, Emily Kirn and Sayaka Otani as whirling, flirting harlots, and Kimberly Roberts, a former lead dancer with the company, as Lady Capulet.
William Pitkin's sets, rented from the Sacramento Ballet (as are the costumes), are unfussy and elegant, primarily arches and stairways; the same background is turned by Stephen Judson's lighting into either the market square or a magenta-hued ballroom.
The balcony set in particular is enchanting. It's simply a balcony structure, with no attempt to suggest a house behind it; rather, a dreamy Juliet is framed by a backdrop of a night sky filled with stars.
Janice Steinberg is a San Diego dance critic.

Octopuses have no bones but a lot of hard muscles which have to be tenderized. The first thing fishermen do in Greece when they catch an octopus is to keep beating it on rocks or on the shore, if there are no rocks, for about 40 – 50 times. All the fibres break apart and the octopus is tender and succulent. It also helps if it is dried in the sun for 2 – 3 hours.
I've seen my nephew do this many times. He knows all the tricks about octopus. He usually finds them near rocks but if there aren't any rocks he knows other tricks as well. One day when we went to the beach in Samos, where we used to live, he said I'll be back in ten minutes. He came back with an octopus. He found a can, opened the top and left it in the deep. Octopus like to hide so he knew that if there were any octopuses there he would get one.
Octopus is a Greek word. "Okto" meaning eight and "pous" is the ancient word for foot. Having eight feet (tentacles). In the middle of the tentacles there is a beak and above the tentacles is a sac which includes the inc sac, stomack entrails and the remaining organs.
I usually cook frozen octopus which is always clean inside.
However, if you have a fresh one, cut the head from the tentacles.
Remove the beak by cutting it round the tentacles.
The remaining part is where all the organs are. Just above the beak there is a hard part, which is where the skull is and cut this and discard it. Then turn it inside out and pull away anything that is inside, trying not to break the ink sac. Wash inside well, then turn it over again.
I usually remove the outer skin from the head only. Wash again all the octopus.
Htapodi Ladorigani (octopus in olive oil and oregano dressing)
The best way of eating an octopus is grilling and serving it with an olive oil and oregano dressing.
Octopus Risotto
Although Risotto is an Italian traditional dish, I have made this recipe "nistisimo" which means that it does not include any dairy products or eggs or other meat in the recipe, in order to have a variety of dishes during the fasting period of Lent.
Both recipes are included in my cookbook Mint, Cinnamon & Blossom Water, Flavours of Cyprus, Kopiaste!

How much do girls like sports? A lot! Would you believe even more than texting, TV, or going to the mall?
That's what 3,000 girls said in our recent survey about sports. Girls who like sports said they'd like to play sports more than they already do. Many girls said they play five or more sports and started playing when they were as young as 4.
They say they love sports because they like getting in great shape, getting better at their sport, and playing with friends.
Here are some of their greatest sports moments:
But what about girls who say they don't like sports? They said that they're not good at sports, that sports are boring, and that they haven't tried any sports that they like.
This is key because there are tons of sports, from swimming to cheerleading to running to basketball. All are very different, so just having a bad experience on your first soccer team might not mean you don't like sports, period. It's kind of like saying you don't like food because there's one dish you tasted and didn't like.
But the good news is that 60% — more than half of the girls who said they didn't like sports — said they wanted to get better at sports. In other words, they were willing to try again.
Try these steps if you're a girl who wants to give sports another try:
Think of it like this: Maybe you just haven't found your sport yet. To encourage you along the way, here's what girl athletes said they'd tell a friend who isn't sure about sports.

Leek Town Council congratulate Leek Rugby Club for best season yet
Posted: May 22, 2014|
A town council has congratulated a sporting team for their 'best ever season' with a civic reception.
Members of Leek Rugby Club were invited to the Foxlowe Arts Centre in Leek, by Leek Town Mayor John Fisher and his wife Pat for the special event.
A buffet was laid on for around 90 guests and the evening saw councillor Fisher present Leek Rugby Club with a Leek Town Crest.
The gesture was returned by president of the sporting team, Gareth Jones, who presented the town council with a photograph of the team, and captain of Leek Rugby Club Gary McDermott presented Mrs Fisher with a bouquet of flowers.

The celebration came after the rugby club, which was formed in 1923, had its most successful season this year with the club winning the Midlands Two West (North) Division with a total of 95 points, having won 20 of its 22 fixtures. They also made it to the RFU Intermediate Cup Final at Twickenham, narrowly losing 22-19 to Trowbridge.
Mr Fisher said: "This has been the best year the club has had and I thank Leek Rugby Club for putting Leek on the rugby map.
"You narrowly lost at Twickenham but it is wonderful that the club got to play at the home of English rugby.
"I just want to salute you on your courage, tenacity, stamina and strength."
Mr Jones, who has been involved in Leek Rugby Club for more than 40 years, thanked the town council for hosting the civic reception. He added: "This is fantastic to have the fellowship and support from Leek Town Council.
"What a fantastic season it has been.
"Thanks go to everyone involved, from the lads and all the supporters and to family members, coaches and the washer-uppers."

The speculation and apocrypha surrounding "cover curses" in sports go back at least as far as the "SportsIllustrated cover jinx." In the age of video games, the "Madden Curse" has taken up the mantle as the most hotly-debated superstition in sports marketing.
Close behind "Madden" in the curse department is "NHL," which has had rumblings about a curse since the late 1990s. Sports Illustrated themselves even devoted agallery to it.

Insulator makes electrons move in an ordered wayMedia Releases Research Using Synchrotron Light Materials Research Matter and Material
Researchers at the PSI, the EPFL and the Chinese Academy of Science, have proven that the material SmB6 shows all the properties of a so called topological insulator – a material with electric currents flowing along its surface with all of them being polarized. Here, the property is very robust, i.e. the only current that can flow is spin polarized and is not easily destroyed by small irregularities in the structure or composition of the material. Spin polarized currents are necessary for spintronics, electronics using the electrons' spin.

Tiny Magnets as a Model SystemMedia Releases Matter and Material Materials Research Research Using Synchrotron Light
Scientists use nano-rods to investigate how matter assembles
To make the magnetic interactions between the atoms visible, scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have developed a special model system. It is so big that it can be easily observed under an X-ray microscope, and mimics the tiniest movements in Nature. The model: rings made from six nanoscale magnetic rods, whose north and south poles attract each other. At room temperature, the magnetisation direction of each of these tiny rods varies spontaneously. Scientists were able to observe the magnetic interactions between these active rods in real time. These research results were published on May 5 in the journal "Nature Physics".

How stabilised cell fibres prevent cancer cell divisionMedia Releases Human Health Biology Research Using Synchrotron Light
Anti-cancer drugs are used under the heading of "Chemotherapeutics" to prevent cells from dividing. Because the cells in a growing tumour divide more frequently than others, tumour cells are damaged more severely. Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute and the ETH Zurich have now clarified the exact mechanism of action of one class of these drugs. The data acquired is so accurate, that targeted drugs could now be developed that are even better suited to fulfil their task.

The evolutionary origins of our pretty smileMedia Releases Biology User Experiments Research Using Synchrotron Light
Until recently, it was not obvious whether the earliest vertebrates (animals with a backbone) which had jawbones already possessed teeth or not. Now, an international research team has shown that the jaws of the prehistoric fish Compagopiscis already had teeth. This means that teeth appeared at the same evolutionary time as jaws – or at least shortly afterwards. The leaders of this project were scientists from the University of Bristol, England, who carried out their decisive experiments at the SLS at PSI.

Researchers have succeeded in generating detailed three-dimensional images of the spatial distribution of amyloid plaques in the brains of mice afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. The new technique used in the investigations provides an extremely precise research tool for a better understanding of the disease. In the future, scientists hope that it will also provide the basis for a new and reliable diagnosis method. The results were achieved within a joint project of two research teams – one from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zurich, the other from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).

Physicists observe the splitting of an electron inside a solidMedia Releases Matter and Material Materials Research Research Using Synchrotron Light
An electron has been observed to decay into two separate parts, each carrying a particular property of the electron: a spinon carrying its spin – the property making the electron behave as a tiny compass needle – and an orbiton carrying its orbital moment – which arises from the electron's motion around the nucleus. These newly created particles, however, cannot leave the material in which they have been produced.

Creating magnetism takes much longer than destroying itMedia Releases Matter and Material Materials Research Research Using Synchrotron Light
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute are finding out how long it takes to establish magnetism and how this happens. Establishing a magnetically ordered phase in the metallic alloy iron-rhodium takes much longer than the reverse process of demagnetization. The result comes from basic research, but has relevance for the computer industry, as it shows which processes limit the speed of magnetic data storage and where improvements might be made.

How the body distinguishes between self and non-self – important structures explainedMedia Releases Biology User Experiments Research Using Synchrotron Light
Like a shredder, the immunoproteasome cuts down proteins into peptides that are subsequently presented on the cellular surface. The immune system can distinguish between self and non-self peptides and selectively kills cells that present non-self peptides at their surface. In autoimmune diseases, this mechanism is deregulated. However, inhibition of the immunoproteasome may alleviate disease symptoms and progression. With the help of measurements taken at the Paul Scherer Institute, scientists have now succeeded in determining the first structure of an immunoproteasome.

Using heat for storing dataMedia Releases Matter and Material Research Using Synchrotron Light Materials Research
An international research team has demonstrated a new way to record information on a magnetic medium without the use of a magnetic field. Instead, they found that they could record information using only a heat pulse. This method of recording might allow one to record Terabytes (1000s of Gigabytes) of information per second being 100s of times faster than present hard drive technology, and consumes much less energy by using heat without the need for a magnetic field. Using modern lithographic methods and x-ray microscopy, researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute contributed considerably to this work.

The basic structures of sight decipheredMedia Releases Matter and Material Biology Research Using Synchrotron Light
At the beginning of the process of sight, light interacts with a protein molecule called Rhodopsin. This molecule contains the actual light sensor that is stimulated by the incoming light and changes its form, in order to trigger the rest of the process. Researchers have now managed to determine the exact structure of the Rhodopsin molecule in its short-lived, excited state. From this, they have obtained a precise picture of the first step of the process of sight.

Studies on protein structures – understanding the basic building blocks of lifeHuman Health Biology Research Using Synchrotron Light
Proteins are the building blocks of all living organisms. In the living cell these complex molecules perform countless tasks. The precise function a protein performs is directly related to its structure. Researchers at the PSI investigate a wide range of proteins, in order to understand their structures and functions, often to lay the foundations for developing new drugs. In addition, researchers explore new techniques for determining protein structure – in particular with synchrotron light at the Swiss Light Source (SLS).

The Swiss Light Source SLSMatter and Material Research Using Synchrotron Light Large Scale Facilities
The synchrotron light in the SLS is emitted from electrons, which move at a velocity of almost the speed of light along a circular path with an overall circumference of 288 metres. The synchrotron light is emitted tangentially to the trajectory of the electrons, i.e. in the same direction as sparks would fly from a grindstone, or a hammer from the hands of a hammer thrower.
The production of synchrotron radiation makes use of the fact that electrically charged particles emit light as they move along a curved path. Bending magnets keep the electrons on their curved track, as a magnetic field deflects fast-moving electrically-charged particles.

Smart devices that turn down household heating when energy prices peak can not only save consumers money but also ease the load on power grids.
The US Department of Energy equipped 112 homes in Washington state with meters that receive updates on energy prices every 5 minutes. Homeowners also received devices which could regulate their heating systems. They programmed in an ideal temperature and how many degrees they were willing to have it vary in response to a price change. The system - called GridWise - combined this information with thermostat and price readings and switched the heating off and on in response.
GridWise saved households 10 per cent on electricity bills over the course of a year and reduced peak demand on the energy grid by up to 15 per cent.

"White Reggie Bush" Cody Paul Now Rising H.S. Senior
In our latest look at college football recruits, we check in on Cody Paul, who rose to YouTube fame in 2007 when he was dubbed the "White Reggie Bush." - Anthony Olivieri
The hype machine started early for Paul, who made a habit of leaving opposing Pop Warner youngsters slumped on the turf after ankle-breaking moves.
Just take a look at the video evidence. But being a YouTube sensation before hitting puberty has its perils, including the creation of unrealistic expectations for a player so young.
So, where is Paul now?
He's at Los Alamitos High School in Southern California, an annual football power, where he is a receiver and running back.
Now a rising senior, Paul isn't the center of attention anymore but remains an effective play maker. As a junior, Paul scored eight touchdowns for Los Alamitos.
There are similarities to his younger days – Paul's best attributes are his speed and shiftiness, which allow him to be a dangerous player in space and show off his big-play potential. It's just that those big plays don't come as often for the 5' 6", 155-pound Paul, whose size is an issue – at least, in terms of his future in big-time college football.
After his sensation spread on the Internet, Paul was rumored to have fielded a scholarship offer from USC, but those whispers were unfounded. Now, according to many of the top recruiting sites, Paul isn't on many schools' radars.
That could all change after Paul's senior year, when he no doubt hopes to carry the full load in the backfield for Los Alamitos. As a junior, he gained 652 yards and averaged 6.8 yards a carry.
But he wasn't used as the primary running back, allowing Los Alamitos to move him around the formation and even benefit from his speed on special teams. Paul had six rushing TDs, one receiving and one kick return for a score.
Remind you of anyone? No, not Reggie – but Danny, as in Woodhead, the pint-sized New England Patriots running back who made it to the NFL via Division II Chadron State.
At a generous listing of 5'7", Woodhead went undrafted in 2008 before finally flourishing with the Patriots last fall. Paul, pending a growth spurt, may face the same obscure college football future despite the lofty expectations surrounding him as a child. Before Woodhead supporters go bonkers, it is obvious Paul has yet to remotely resemble Woodhead's record-breaking ways in high school. But similarities exist nonetheless.
So, could Paul go from being the White Reggie Bush to the Next Danny Woodhead? Sure, it's a stretch. But let the hype begin.

It think that Domain Specific Languages will be the future, but I

Haskell sounds interesting. And, it seems that this is what gives

Looking for laughs
Sunday night was the first of the major entertainment awards shows, and I'm not interested in commenting on something as subjective as winners and losers. I do want to reflect on one category of the Golden Globe-nominated films, however.
Did anything seem unusual to you about the choices for best comedy or musical?
Let's see, there was "American Hustle," whose leading characters were valueless cons with no integrity. There was "Her," the touching profile of a man so desperately lonely that his only meaningful relationship was with a machine. Another kind of isolation was the subject of "Inside Lllewyn Davis." The main character was a performer living with rejection in the early days of the folk music boom. And there were laughs in "Nebraska," but there was also the lingering shadows of senility, dementia and greed.
Now that's a trio of giggle makers, isn't it? And the final nominee in the category of comedy or musical, "The Wolf of Wall Street," which was three hours of doing it, snorting it and stealing it. There was music in all of them, but that's also true of "12 Years A Slave." Perhaps it's time to re-examine what we think is funny anymore.
I'm Pat McMahon.

Advanced Math/Science Research Update
by Dr. April Burch, Director of the AMSR program
January 15, 2013
Since our last update, Berkshire School hosted student researchers from Belmont Hill, and all-boys prep school outside of Boston, for a 1-day mini-symposium on Student Biomedical Research. The goal was to foster collaboration, communication and community outreach with our students. AMSR students Liza Bernstein '13, Sissi Wang '13, Lars Robinson '13, Elsie Guevara '13, Ernest Yue '13, and Nate MacKenzie '14, gave short talks about their work in the new Bellas/Dixon Math and Science lecture hall. The talks were followed up by break-out sessions where Belmont Hill students described their research projects and students discussed commonalities between the projects and future goals.
The second semester of AMSR started with some terrific news. The AMSR program was awarded a grant from The Chinchester Dupont Foundation for the purchase of an EVOS fluorescence microscope. This piece of equipment will expand the types of experiments and analyses that can be done by AMSR students this and future years. The microscope should arrive shortly, and Dr. Burch has invited everyone to stop in for a look next time they are on campus.
One new, exciting project that is underway in the winter season of AMSR in the afternoons is being spearheaded by Elif Kesaf '14. Elif is from Turkey and seeks to identify novel viruses of non-pathogenic strains of Legionella bacterium from travertines in Pamukkale. In collaboration with Dr. Sunny Shin at the Perlman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, she will be working to isolate viruses of this bacterium with the hope of identifying new agents to combat Legionnaires' disease caused by a pathogenic form of Legionella.
Look for more news from Dr. Burch in the next issue!
College Writing: A Class Like Any Other?
Berkshire School offers many academic courses, including a variety of electives. One of the choices to earn English credits at Berkshire School is College Writing, available for juniors and seniors. This course is challenging and pushes students to their limits and beyond. Although this class is academically demanding and thought-provoking, the students will benefit from the course in the long run. The reasons student chose this course, what happens during class periods and how the course is prepared every day: these aspects are essential to getting a full idea of College Writing.
There are twelve students in this class, hailing from all over the country and world. Although the reasons for choosing this class fluctuate for each student, a common theme is improving writing skills. Sam Sabin, a senior in this class said, "I signed up for the CW because I wanted to improve my writing arsenal and become a successful writer in college." This sums up a lot of what the scholars mentioned about the course. Sam Clougher, a post graduate from Ireland, added that, "I signed up for the College Writing Workshop so I could spend a semester simply focusing on improving my writing. I felt I needed a break from studying literature, and College Writing was the best way to do this."
Moving on from the reasons that Berkshire juniors and seniors selected this class, we can consider what actually happens in the classroom. This class meets four times a week, and in each class period, we start by going over what is planned for the day. We then undertake a short blog entry of a relevant topic to get our brains working and thoughts flowing. The rest of the class period depends on which assignments that we're working on, amongst other factors. Olivia Mason had this to say about what goes on in College Writing: "We have discovered how to write many different types of assignments, such as expository research papers, group analytical papers, informative power points, and our most common, a reflective daily blog. We also incorporate modern technology to improve our writing skills while also learning about current and historical affairs." This is basically what goes on in class; you might wonder though how this prepared each student in this class for college.
The name of the class, which might seem self-explanatory, itself attracts attention. This has to incorporate some sort of writing to prepare you for the level of college English assignments. I can attest that this approach has prepared me to write better in college. When I entered this class, I was a decent writer, having good ideas but not able to organize my ideas and formulate them in the way I want them to sound on paper. It was helpful that we have gone over combining sentences and how to structure thesis sentences. Also, practicing different types of writing such as essays, research papers, speeches and other types of writing helped me develop as a writer. My close friend Creedy Acosta agreed, noting that, "I have felt more confident after taking this course. It has allowed me to develop my writing skills to a greater extent. I have even had people, including teachers, read different assignments and mention how my writing has improved."
College Writing, taught by Dr. Kohlhepp, who himself taught various courses at the university level during his graduate training, is a great course with many benefits. A word of warning: Although this is a great course, if you are not up to challenging yourself every day in Room 212, you might want to pick a different course. This class is chosen by students and taught like no other, preparing each of us for life beyond the semester exam.
