TIBCO Consultant & E-Commerce Architect
United States - Last active: 13 days ago - Tests: 2 - Portfolio: 2
Good Day and thank you for taking a moment to read my profile! I started working in IT about four years ago as a technical support representative for Simple Helix, a Magento specialist web hosting company. From there, I had the opportunity to spend a year as a Network Analyst for a local, carrier class, ISP before moving on to a position as a Linux Systems Engineer with a Magento development firm. In the present, I work as an Applications Engineer with a focus on the TIBCO stack, most notably AMX, BusinessWorks, EMS, and SilverFabric. I have a very strong background in Linux/Unix administration and have worked extensively with CentOS, Red Hat, and Debian. I've worked with networks from a physical perspective, as a NOC Technican, as well as logical perspective troubleshooting complex application issues. Over the past few months I've taken the opportunity to learn to code in Java and I've recently attended Red Hat training for JBoss EAP 6. I'm a CPTE (Certified Penetration Testing Engineer) and would happily pursue projects as an E-Commerce Architect, Systems Engineer, TIBCO Engineer, JBoss Administrator, entry-level Programmer, or entry-level Ethical Hacker. I am available for new jobs immediately outside of US business hours.

Generation of Independent Bright Zones for a Two-Channel Private Audio System
Creating private listening using loudspeakers can be achieved by spatial processing such that target regions of the space are made sonically bright (louder) while other regions are made sonically dark (quieter). When two bright regions corresponding to the left and right channels of a stereo signal are placed at the listener's ears, private listening can be enjoyed without disturbing others in the space. The system is based on spatial contrast control feeding a linear loudspeaker array. Empirical results show that 20 dB of contrast is achieved in one-third-octave bands above 1 kHz.

About half of the 80 dairy farms in Ozaukee County are still run by families, but the numbers are dwindling. In 1982, there were 235 dairy farms in the county and the number is steadily declined, said Dan O'Neil, University of Wisconsin Extension agricultural agent for Ozaukee County. "We lose one or two a year, and we don't get back very many," O'Neil said. For Tom Dieringer, 77, his son Gary, 52, and Gary's son Josh, 24, it's a way of life they cherish and are continuing for the fourth generation. It took Josh only three days of working in a factory in Mayville to realize he didn't like it and wanted to be back on the family farm on Highway B in the Town of Belgium. "When you grow up on a farm working with family, it's hard to leave," his mother Leann said. "There is always somebody around to talk to. We're one big happy family. I'm so happy he came back." Josh missed not only the family dynamics, but also the fresh air he was accustomed to breathing. "I just enjoy being outside," Josh said. "I like the variety and the flexibility. Anybody can get away if we know ahead of time." He shoots pool on Monday nights, his father shoots pool in a Tuesday league and Tom bowls on Fridays. Leann and Josh's sister Samantha fill in when needed. The dairy operation has been family owned and operated since Tom's father Thomas Sr. started the business in 1942. He rented 236 acres and a farmhouse from Art Mayer. In 1957, Tom and his brother Francis bought the farm from Mayer. Another brother, Andrew, bought an adjacent farm. Tom and his wife Barbara, a city girl from Port Washington, converted the single-family farmhouse into a duplex. They lived in the lower apartment, where they raised six children, five boys and a girl. Francis lived upstairs. Tom's parents moved to northern Wisconsin to operate a tavern. In 1973, Tom bought out his brother and farmed with his sons. Gary bought the farm in 1995 and later purchased his uncle's adjacent farm, increasing the land to 550 acres. Gary and Leann, who is a postal carrier in Port Washington and provides health insurance for the family, have three children, but only Josh is interested in farming full time. Rachel is a social worker in Milwaukee. Gary's brothers and nephews also lend a hand. But mostly the three men depend on each other to share the work and profits. Gary is the manager and oversees the cows, deciding when each should be bred and the rations each should receive. Josh prefers field work and repairing equipment. "I started driving a tractor when I was 9. I always begged to ride along in the tractor," he said. Gary said his father "works cheap and does a little bit of everything." "When they have a problem they can't solve, they call me," Tom said. "I don't give advice anymore because we all have different ways of doing things. I let them work it out. I have to bite my tongue sometimes." Tom can fix just about anything, does field work and helps with the morning and evening milkings. He and wife recently moved off the farm to make room for Josh and his wife Amber, who were married in May. For the first time in 53 years of marriage, the elder Dieringers don't have children in their house. "We had to move out to make that happen," Tom said. "It's wonderful. It's very quiet and peaceful," Barbara said. "I haven't been back much because I'm still unpacking boxes.
"It was fun living on the farm. Everyone loves going to the farm. The grandchildren love to visit because there is always something going on." The couple moved about five miles away to a former schoolhouse in the Town of Holland. Gary and Leann moved from the upper to the lower flat. Josh and Amber are settling in above them. "I'm still not used to going to the door to the lower apartment. I start heading upstairs," Gary said. Amber is finding places for her things in the flat where her husband has lived all his life. "She changes things around," Josh said. "She moved the toaster, which had been in the same place for as long as I can remember. It's not a big deal. It's just weird." What hasn't changed is the unpredictably of farming, which depends on the whims of Mother Nature and a global marketplace that determines prices for milk and grains. "There have been more changes in farming in the last 15 years than the previous 50 years," Tom said. He's wary of the trend toward large dairy herds, but said that issue is for his son and grandson to work out. Gary decided to add land for cash crops when milk prices dropped and grain prices rose. Milk prices are now about $15 per hundred pounds, which is much better than last year's $10, he said. Gary plans to stay small and continue farming without hiring outside workers. "I have enough headaches with 100 cows, let alone 1,000," he said. "Cows don't talk back and they don't quit on you." The 100 milk cows, calves, young stock and dry cows bring the dairy herd to 250 animals. Beef cattle are raised on the adjacent farm. The cows are milked twice a day in the parlor that Tom and his brother installed in 1961. He was one of the first farmers in the county to have a milk parlor. "We used to have five machines for 10 stanchions, so we would move the machines from one side to the other," Tom said. "Now, we have 10 machines and a two-inch line that is connected directly to the milk tank." Each cow has a tag around its neck that triggers computerized feeders to dispense the right combination of corn and protein. The ratio is based on how much milk the cow gives and is adjusted daily, Gary said. The weather has been ideal for crops, he said. The warm weather and moderate rainfall yielded a bountiful hay crop that has filled the silos. The cows are now feasting on fresh hay cut each morning. The Dieringers are harvesting soybeans this week and expect to start the corn harvest next week. "It's been hot and dry enough that it's drying in the field. We won't have to wait for a frost this year like we did last year," Gary said. Corn prices are high now, so the sooner it gets off the cob, the better, he said. About 60% of the corn and other grains will be fed to their animals, with the remainder sold on the open market. He also grows wheat and soybeans as cash crops. This is the best time of year, he said. "I like it when it starts getting cooler and it's harvest time," Gary said. "You get the family together to help and you see the results of your hard work."

If you never do, you'll never know
I am a fun guy who laughs a lot and loves to joke. The older I get, the more extroverted and adventurous I become. I am happy to lead the way, and I am never afraid of charging forward towards what I think is right. I am happy to admit when I am wrong, which will be accompanied by a cheesy smile, and a silly excuse. I consider myself a guy's guy, but I am loving, caring, give the best hugs, and I'll always have an encouraging word for you. I am usually putting the needs of others before myself and I see myself a mentor and teacher to those that need me. I am always energetic, but I get the most excited when I get to hear about the passions of others, so come prepared to tell me about yourself. I want to hear everything. I have a ton of hobbies and interests, I am happy to talk about them all, AND I have a story for everything. Everyone has hidden talents or ridiculous stories, what better icebreaker than to share a few? - I can predict the winner of every dating show I watch - I am a natural in front of a video camera - I have been to 17 different countries -I love Christmas decorations, I own too many - I can't spell my way out of a paper bag - Purple Rain is one of my favorite movies. - If a drink is blue, I guarantee I'll drink it - I keep a karaoke list on my phone, and it's really good I am looking for someone who is able to put up with my silliness, but also balance my personality. Someone who is loving and wants to spend time with me. Someone who is intelligent, energetic, enjoys life, confident, and most importantly is an optimist!!! I don't have a type, per se, I think every woman is attractive for their own reasons, but substance is a must. Age is just a number, but I am want to meet someone who wants the same things I do, and is ready for a serious relationship. If you fit the bill, I am looking forward to hearing from you ! If you find me before I find you, go ahead and say hi, assertiveness is so very attractive !

Back to the Future: Evaluating Head Scout Marcel Comeau Part 1
Kevin McCartney
April 12 2013 08:23PM
Marcel Comeau has been the Head Scout of the Atlanta Thrashers and now Winnipeg Jets since 2003. This season will mark his 11th draft with the organization, and as Cheveldayoff continues to preach patience and hope, we will have a look at the man in charge of delivering a hockey team from a list of teenagers.
There are many ways to evaluate a draft, and of course, data continues to roll in all the time. Consider Part 1 a bit of an introduction to Comeau and his draft history. We'll look at his draft record without much context to get our minds around who it is he's been drafting and where the team has traditionally gone fishing for talent. I'll add some thoughts about the prospects on which we still wait.
Weekly Thoughts
Kevin McCartney
April 11 2013 11:22AM
Every week or so, I have a few thoughts. This week I look at the Jets schedule and consider how hard things will be under re-alignment, look forward to the draft to begin our conversation about who the Jets might be in on, and give a preview of articles to come with a chance for you to shape how I look at the data. A smattering of my brainy output below.

After coming off the worst stretch of hockey pretty much imaginable, the Jets have come home and taken advantage of the schedule which, thanks be to the Universe, has brought to Winnipeg some of the biggest patsies in the Leaue. And tonight is no different, as the lowly Florida Panthers visit the MTS Centre.
Stockholm in the Winter: Windows of Opportunity

Prior to this trade deadline, we talked about the idea that the team's actions would give us a tell about the direction of the organization, and about how they perceived their window of opportunity. The action taken? Adding Mike Santorelli via waivers - a bubble player from the worst team in the league this season. I think we all wanted something more decisive, though fans seemed split between buying and selling, and a terrible streak of losing that saw the division title simply slip through our fingers peaked the frustration at our current management group.
We're still left with the question of when this management group will choose to compete, and a further question of what they intend the roster to look like when they do.

Howdy hockey people.
A while back, I wrote about how I make hockey highlight packs for Hockey Night in Canada, specifically for the web (cbcsports.ca). The feedback was largely positive, so I want to write about it again.
On top on CBC, I've also recently taken a freelance position at the NHL Network. While there are a lot of similarities between the two jobs, there are some key differences, too.
If you're interested in how hockey highlights get done, here's how we do it.

Sen. Clinton tours SUNY Upstate; offers support for children's hospital and emergency preparedness center
U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton offered her support for the Central New York Children's Hospital and the Center for Emergency Preparedness during a visit to SUNY Upstate Medical University Tuesday, Oct. 7.
During her visit to campus Clinton received updates on the children's hospital and emergency preparedness center plans from Thomas Welch, M.D., professor and chair of the Department of Pediatrics; and Richard Hunt, M.D., professor and chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine. After the briefing, the senator embarked on a 30 minute tour of University Hospital.
Her walk through the hospital included visits to pediatric floors and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. On the pediatric oncology floor, Clinton stopped in the playroom to meet with patients and their families. The senator also toured the pediatric and adult emergency rooms.
Her visit concluded with remarks to about 100 people in a hospital auditorium. She congratulated the SUNY Upstate on the progress it was making in bringing a children's hospital to Central New York and reflected on her successful campaign to bring a children's hospital to Arkansas during her husband's tenure as that state's governor.
She reiterated her support for that project and offered support for the Department of Emergency Medicine's Center for Emergency Preparedness.
She also spoke about the need for greater support for academic medical centers and teaching hospitals, noting that New York state has one of the largest academic medicine infrastructures in the country.
"We are grateful for Senator Clinton's visit to SUNY Upstate Medical University," said SUNY Upstate President Gregory L. Eastwood, M.D. "It allows us to present our plans and concerns to the senator in our own backyard. It also enables us to show the senator firsthand the hard work and dedication of our faculty and staff. SUNY Upstate's relationship and the support it enjoys from its legislative delegation, whether it be at the federal, state or local level, is vital to our success."
Plans for the children's hospital, which would be housed on the top two floors of the six-story addition, call for 50 private patient rooms, family sleep and dining as well as playrooms and a family resource center among other amenities. The addition will increase the amount of space dedicated to pediatric medicine at University Hospital from 18,000 square feet to 87,000 square feet. It is part of the hospital's $87 million vertical expansion.
The Center for Emergency Preparedness would assess and provide the community's terrorism and disaster preparedness training needs while collaborating with governmental departments, professional organizations and private industry in providing a focal point for emergency preparedness resources. The center would also conduct research on emergency preparedness issues.

Back when I decided that I needed to get some experience working with basswood I decided to build this in 1/25 scale.
Everything you see is basswood, except the tire which came from my parts box, and the climbing pegs are Evergreen rod. The slide surface is BMF.
The original was in a 1970s Popular Mechanix Magazine.
The entire set of plans was there with dimensions. I just built it in 1/25 scale instead of 1/1. I got the experience and confidence to work in wood. I've done a few things since, but this was the initial project.

Drug Safety:
Students openly talk about and pass around the drugs used on campus. With such a large number of students, security has a hard time cracking down on drug policy.
Drug Safety:
More than half of student partake in drugs and it is easy for them to access it.
Drug Safety:
I don't participate in this scene, so I can't give a huge review. But it seems like it's under control, and yet it is known that there are students who participate.
Drug Safety:

Drug Safety:
Nobody forces anyone to do anything they don't want to here. If somebody wants to participate in the use of drugs and alcohol, then he or she will find plenty of avenues for that. If a student has no interest in drugs and alcohol, then he or she will have no trouble finding like-minded peers.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Holding the title as one of the nation's biggest "party schools" puts a lot of emphasis on substance use, especially alcohol. Alcohol is definitely the substance of choice at Arizona State and the most influential, as many students hit the nightlife scene on the weekends. The majority consists of drinking, drinking, some drug use, and more drinking. Usually drugs come into play when a major rave rolls into town or a major party is about to throw down. Other than that, low-key drugs like marijuana are usually what most people would see rather than the hardcore drugs. Marijuana is prevalent during kick-backs, some dorm parties (if you can keep it hidden), and at random places. It's one of those drugs that is generally more common. Granted, not everyone is wacked out on drugs or will even come in contact with it. It just depends on who you hang out with and what their character is like.
Drinking and drugs will always come into play at any large party school. If that is your scene, you'd better believe you will not have any problems running into those who can hook you up. Since ASU is a dry campus, drugs and alcohol are not allowed, and if a student is caught with any substance, the consequences can be severe, from a criminal record to expulsion—it all depends on the nature of crime. Those caught drinking underage will usually come out of it with an MIC (minor in consumption) that will go on your record, and of course if drugs are involved, there will be more serious consequences. Obviously, there is a price for these kinds of choices, and ASU does not take these violations lightly.

Walker: The lowly black-eyed pea has an important role in U.S. history
As long as people have been around, eating certain foods on certain occasions has been part of human tradition. Turkey on Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, cakes at weddings, black-eyed peas on New Year's.
But why did the humble pea become a New Year's staple? Unfortunately, there is no single definitive explanation. Most Epicureans and historians agree the tradition has its roots in the South. After that, the disagreements begin. The variations are as follows:
— When General William Tecumseh Sherman made his March to the Sea that drove the final stake into the heart of the Confederacy, he raided all the food supplies he could find along the way, but his troops left the black-eyed peas because they considered them animal feed not fit for human consumption. The peas were left for the Southerners to survive on.
— Black-eyed peas were the only food slaves had for a celebration on New Year's Day 1863 when they were rejoicing at the signing of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
— Black-eyed peas were a staple among Southerners both black and white simply because they stored well through the winter, so why not eat them on New Year's Day?
Other scholars like to make things more complicated. Some say that in ancient Egypt, the Pharaohs sometimes feasted on the lowly pea to show humility before the gods. Others believe Jews were instructed to eat them at Rosh Hashana — again to show humility.
Whichever history is correct, one thing is obvious. Even though the pea has a storied place in human culture, it has never enjoyed the rock star status of, say, lobster or pheasant.
The black-eyed pea is not the only New Year's tradition. Buddhists in Japan have noodles at midnight while Germans feast on herring — as do Poles. Cubans eat 12 grapes and boiled cod is a must in Denmark. Yum. The Dutch have what we might call fritters.
Given the option of boiling up some cod and herring and frying fritters, our humble black-eyed pea suddenly doesn't seem so bad.

But that's not what you said. You said "The writers and the actor were smart enough to keep him consistent." You're inferring that he was consistent throughout the entire series, and he wasn't. His character changed from the beginning of the series to the end because of character development. His character changed throughout the TOS movies as well. His character changed yet again in "Unification," and finally changed again in Star Trek '09. The only consistent thing about Spock's character is its inconsistency
You're associating development with inconsistency. It's not inconsistency if the development is happening along a curve. There's a difference between randomness and progression.
Spock smiles in "The Cage" but the reason for that is solely behind the scenes. Spock was not established as the analytical emotionless character. Number One was supposed to be the analytical one. Spock gained the analytic and emotionless demeanor only beginning with "Where No Man Has Gone Before". So that was inconsistency because the character's parameters had not yet been established. It was simply a reality of television production.
Now, setting aside "The Cage", if we look at Spock's development over the course of three seasons, he mellows a bit. Kirk used to rib him in the first season for becoming more human all the time. Spock did tell Rand a joke in poor taste but Spock did have a sense of humor throughout TOS, a dry sense of humor and Spock would deny it, but it was there.
After the five-year mission, Spock probably felt that he had spent too much time around humans and that it had affected him, and it would make sense for that to prompt him to wish to attain Kholinar to purge all emotion. To "purge" all emotion instead of just submerging it would mean control tighter than ever before. When he doesn't attain Kholinar, returns to the Enterprise, and makes contact with V'Ger he has the equivalent of an emotional release. The reason why he couldn't attain Kholinar is because he could never purge the emotional pressures he wanted to submerge.
By TWOK, he's clearly accepted his two halves. That's not inconsistency. That's character development, getting older, maturing, and reconciling the different parts of who you are.
This all gets reset by TSFS so it takes until TUC to get back to where he was at TWOK and then move on from there.
But Spock's development after "The Cage", when the writers and Leonard Nimoy figured out who the character was, was not inconsistent at all. It's called growth. It happens to all of us. It happens to you, it happens to me, and it even happens to Spock, fictional or not.
OK, fine. We can substitute "development" for "inconsistency" (And I happen to agree with your post, so I'm not trying to make an argument), but the end result is still the same: Spock as a character goes through changes from one aspect of Trek (TOS, the films, TNG, ST'09) to the other. So why is it so hard for one or two people here to accept that Spock Prime is the same as the TOS Spock? It wasn't difficult for me to accept it, and I'm just as much a fan as Warped9.
(Don't answer that. It's a rhetorical question.)

From the author of War Horse comes a gentle, evocative story of a young city boy's summer in 1960s rural Provence.When Yannick learns that he is to stay with his aunt Mathilde and her family in the South of France, he cannot believe his luck. He has rarely been out of Paris, and if the paintings in his mother's beloved Cézanne book are to be believed, surely Provence is paradise itself. So begins an idyllic month for the young city boy: roaming the gentle hills and rolling valleys and daydreaming about his beautiful cousin Amandine; helping at his aunt and uncle's bustling village inn; feeling that he has come to the most wonderful place in the world. But one evening the spell is broken when an important local comes for dinner and Yannick accidentally destroys a precious drawing the man leaves behind. How can the devastated Yannick make things right again — and what surprising discoveries might come of it?

The Quilts of Gee's Bend
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
PEOPLE SINGING: Swing low sweet chariot…
JEFFREY BROWN: 80-year-old Arlonzia Pettway made her first quilt at age 13. Her first memory of a quilt goes back still further, to age six, and her great-grandmother, brought to this country as a slave.
ARLONZIA PETTWAY: She had a little quilt, not a big quilt, and it made out of red, green, and yellow. And every day she would spread it down on the ground, on the floor, for us to eat down there so she could tell us the story about Africa and how she came to America, and how she was punished and how she was beaten. And she would… every day she would spread that quilt down and say, "y'all come here, and I'm going to tell you my life, a story about my life."
JEFFREY BROWN: Like others in the small southern Alabama community of Gee's Bend, Arlonzia made quilts to keep her family warm. But now, quilts by her and several generations of women are hanging on museum walls — extraordinary work, from an extraordinary place. The exhibition is called "The Quilts of Gee's Bend."
Gee's Bend gets its name from Joseph Gee, the first white landowner here, who came in 1816. It gets its character from its location: A bend in the Alabama River, which surrounds it on three sides. For much of its history, Gee's Bend has been an isolated community, virtually cut off from the outside world. Just one road in and out of town, in one of the nation's poorest counties, people here worked the fields for more than a century. Even today, most are descendents of slaves from the original plantation. Many still carry the slave owner's name of Pettway.
JEFFREY BROWN: Several times in the last century, the outside world looked in. In the 1930s, Farm Security Administration photographers captured the hard times, including this iconic Depression-era photo.
ARLONZIA PETTWAY: I can remember how tough it was. It was real… it was real tough in Gee's Bend at that time. People had to work hard in the field. They had to go to the field sunup and sundown.
JEFFREY BROWN: In the '40s, recordings of traditional gospel music here were made for the Library of Congress. In the '60s, Martin Luther King preached at the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. When he was slain, Gee's Bend mules pulled his coffin. And now, the art world has discovered the community and its quilts.
WILLIAM ARNETT, Art Collector: I'd seen a picture in a book of a quilt made by a woman, Annie Mae Young, whom you've met. And the quilt was so exciting and so remarkable that I thought, I've got to go find this quilt and see if it's still there and see if the woman's still there.
JEFFREY BROWN: William Arnett is a collector, researcher, and promoter of southern African American arts. The quilt he'd seen in a picture was this one by Annie May Young, made in 1976 of denim and corduroy, mostly from old work pants.
WILLIAM ARNETT: The women here, while none of them use the word "art" to describe what they do, they think and they work like traditional artists the world over. They make the same types of aesthetic decisions. What you see coming from Gee's Bend is not accidental. It didn't happen because a bunch of women were just sewing cloth together and happily they came up with something that was beautiful or unique. It was a very conscious thing, and it's been passed down for at least five or six generations.
JEFFREY BROWN: On a recent Sunday morning, 67-year-old Mary Lee Bendolph helped lead the singing at the makeshift quarters of "Ye Shall Know the Truth" Baptist Church.
JEFFREY BROWN: Later in the day, she joined friends at the senior center. Many hands often come together to do the quilting — that is, stitching the top piece to the cotton filling and the backing. But Bendolph says the hard part comes prior to that: Piecing together irregular strips of fabric to make a beautiful design.
MARY LEE BENDOLPH: You have to have a mind made up to piece a quilt. Because if you don't have a mind made up to piece that quilt, it ain't going to never go right. I sew one or two pieces together and lay it out on the floor and look at it and see if that don't work. Sometime it'll work out. Then I get another piece and I sit there and sew, and when I sew it all together and sit there and look, I say, "oh, that look beautiful." Then sometime it don't look good to me at all.
JEFFREY BROWN: It's in the piecing that Gee's Bend quilters achieve such a unique look. John Beardsley is one of the curators of the exhibition.
JOHN BEARDSLEY, Curator: In a lot of quilting traditions, the goal is to follow the pattern, to make a quilt exactly like everyone else's, to show how well you can duplicate the pattern. In Gee's Bend, the goal is exactly the opposite. The goal is to break the pattern. The goal is to look at what other people are doing, improvise on it, change it, substitute materials, change colors, in some way, make it your own.
JEFFREY BROWN: The quilters invent complex variations out of simple designs, like the so-called Housetop.
JOHN BEARDSLEY: You'll see one that is a pattern of concentric squares. Then you'll see others where they've exploded the square and put the edges to meet each other, as in Lottie Moonie's quilt. They can achieve remarkable variety within a very limited means and within very restricted patterns.
JEFFREY BROWN: Available materials are also limited: Old clothes, a cornmeal sack, anything handy. Denim jeans offer many shades of blue: Pant legs that grew lighter from the sun or bleaching, interior pockets that stayed dark. Arlonzia Pettway's mother made this quilt in 1942 out of her husband Nathaniel's old work clothes.
ARLONZIA PETTWAY: He had passed that year. And she said, "Lonnie, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take Nathaniel's old clothes and make a quilt out of it, where I can remember him."
JEFFREY BROWN: Arlonzia kept the quilt for its family meaning. But she says she was amazed when William Arnett first came to her home, and saw art.
ARLONZIA PETTWAY: He said, "oh, this is beautiful." I said, "how can the thing be beautiful? It got mud on the knee. Why, he used to crawl around and dig sweet potatoes and dig sweet potatoes." And he said, "oh, this is beautiful." I said, "Bill, you think that thing's beautiful?" He said, "this is beautiful." It must be, hanging up in a museum.
JEFFREY BROWN: Indeed, it will be hanging in many museums. We joined the quilters as they made the two-hour bus trip to the latest opening, at Mobile's Museum of Art. The exhibition originated at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, then traveled to New York's Whitney Museum, normally a showcase of the finest in contemporary American high art.
The reviews have been ecstatic. The critic for the New York Times called the quilts "some of the most miraculous works of modern art America has produced." The 70 quilts on display, made from the 1920s to just recently, include works by Lillie Mae Pettway, Loretta Pettway, and Lucy Mooney. Alvia Wardlaw is another of the exhibition's curators.
ALVIA WARDLAW: Everything that you respond to in a magnificent work of art is here in these quilts, overlaid by the fact that the texture of the material really brings a sense of history
JEFFREY BROWN: Of course for a lot of people quilting is a craft, not an art. But you don't see a difference?
ALVIA WARDLAW: You see, I don't draw those lines because I think, especially within the African American tradition, quilting, hair design, cooking, singing, the music that these woman create while they're quilting, all of these are expressions of high art to me. And I think that the other thing that is happening with these exhibitions, is that it's once again letting us see the richness of southern culture, especially in the black community.
JEFFREY BROWN: Mary Lee Bendolph has passed on her knowledge to her daughter, Essie, who, at 47, is the youngest woman with a quilt in the exhibition. But Mary Lee often thinks of those who came before, wishing they, too, had received recognition.
MARY LEE BENDOLPH: I wished this could have happened when my mama and the older people was living. They could have seen, but the lord didn't let that happen. But I thank him for letting it be as it is today; that we receiving some of the things they did back yonder, to see where they brought us from. That song that say, "look where you brought me from. The lord done brought us from a long way."
JEFFREY BROWN: For her part, Arlonzia Pettway continues to make quilts — when she's not visiting museums.
You saw the exhibition in Houston and in New York. How did it feel the first time you saw the quilts hanging on the wall?
ARLONZIA PETTWAY: I felt so good. I had the happiest time I had in my life to see our quilts hanging on the wall, and peoples just praising our quilts, and everybody's eyes full of water. And I didn't know what was going on. I really didn't know what was going on. White peoples was crying, and black peoples was crying, and everyone was crying. And I had such a good time and I enjoyed myself so much, I had to ask myself a question. I said, "am I dead and in heaven?"
JEFFREY BROWN: The quilts of Gee's Bend will tour the nation at least through 2006.
JIM LEHRER: The exhibition continues in Mobile through the end of August. Its next stop is the Milwaukee Art Museum.

This is a lower cost alternative to the more expensive products. The audio quality is amazing, even in a noisy rig. It is a very durable and reliable product. The dual-sided head allows for hearing a greater range of sounds. The only downside is you have to ensure the head is turned to the proper side for what you are doing, otherwise you hear nothing. At first it possbile to wonder why you cannot hear anything, but a simple 180-degree turn of the head followed by a distinct clicking into place allows you hear. Once you are used to it, however, it becomes a non-issue. I would recommend this to anyone, especially in EMS.

Comments about 3M Littmann Classic II S.E. Stethoscope:
I bought this stethoscope when I decided to go to school for my CNA, I tried several other brands and found I couldn't hear out of most of them, I hear everything load and clear with my Littmann. I plan to move on to nursing school and I'm sure I'll be glad that I bought a quality stethoscope to begin with.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I got this stethoscope as a gift when I was in the U.S. Navy in 2003. It served with me until I got out in 2007, working in every place in the hospital and every climate. Just last year, my earpieces fell apart. I have placed an order from my new earpieces.

I bought my Littmann based on recommendations from friends, and I'm glad I did. I used a classmates stethoscope (another brand) during SIM Lab and found that my Littmann was much louder than their stethoscope. Upon inspection, I also determined that the quality of the Littmann was superior to that of the other brand. After we compared pricing, I was surprised to find that I only paid around $15 more for my Littmann. My friend took her stethoscope back the next day and exchanged it for a Littmann and she couldn't be happier.
This product is easy to use and it is effective.

Sometimes you get what you pay for. I own a cheap stethoscope, and it does the job, but sometimes I struggle to hear sounds in the back of the ambulance. Not nearly as much problems with the new Littmann. You can instantly feel the quality and the functionality. I know I won't have to buy an new one anytime soon.
What a difference in sound quality!
By MidwiferyStudent
from Twin Cites, MN
I upgraded to the Littmann after many years using the bargain basement BP/Steth set I got in school. When it finally broke I decided to splurge, and it's totally worth it. The quality of sounds I can hear, and the comfort of the ear pieces is fabulous.
This is a good basic product.
By Nattrass
This was my first stethoscope I used in nursing school. I was having a difficult time hearing all I needed to hear. I would recommend this product for beginners.

"The first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning is whether today is going to be the day I lose her," said her mother Kerry Okines. "The only way I cope is by saying to myself that Hayley's going to be the one to prove the doctors all wrong."
Hayley and her parents have been hopeful ever since she joined the progeria drug trial, which is testing a pill originally developed for cancer, which could reverse the dramatic instability in her cells. She believes she sees small signs the pill is working.
"I've got eyebrows and I've got eyelashes and I've got hair on my arms," she said.
Despite progeria, Hayley sees herself as a person not a disease and has all the interests of an average pre-teen, including fashion, photography and a crush on pop-star Justin Bieber.
The Okines, the Ratcliffes and the Halkos hope that the ongoing clinic trials and research will unlock the secrets to their daughters' medical mystery and the process of normal aging.
"The evidence is growing, that the same glitch these kids have that causes them to produce a protein that makes their cells unable to keep dividing, that same protein is being produced by all of us," said Collins. "It looks as if this maybe part of a program that prevents humans from being immortal."
Every year, the three families raise money for the progeria research, typically through walk-a-thons.
Kaylee is very aware of the high cost of research and participating in clinic trials. She told Walters that she hopes "that I have thousands of dollars to buy my medicines."
The families all say there is no preparing yourself for the probability that you will outlive your child.
"It scares me. Not much scares me, but that does. Even thinking about it [scares me], so I generally don't allow myself to go there," said Joe Ratcliffe, who tattooed the Progeria Research Foundation's logo of a child's handprint and dove on his arm as a symbol of hope. "That's what we fight for. Without awareness we have nothing."

Person of the Year
PERSON OF THE YEAR....In a shocking surprise, Time has named Barack Obama their person of the year. Yawn. I would have voted for one of those cheesy group picks, in this case "America's mortgage bankers and Wall Street rocket scientists." I mean, if touching off the 21st century version of the Great Depression doesn't make you person of the year, what the hell does it take?
Runners up were Henry Paulson, Nicolas Sarkozy, Zhang Yimou, and, in a tremendous diss to poor old John McCain, Sarah Palin. Feh. Tina Fey would have been a more deserving choice.

Continuing and Professional Education - Rubric
You are here
The Continuing and Professional Education (CPE) Rubric is tailored to assist in the design and evaluation of instructor-led, mentored, or self-managed online and blended courses that have pass/fail, skills-based or other completion or certification criteria, but do not carry academic credit.
How Do I Obtain Access to the Rubric?
The fully annotated Continuing and Professional Education Rubric is available with Basic and Individual Subscription Options. Institutions and organizations with current QM Higher Education or other subscriptions may add a subscription to the CPE Rubric for $500.
Download the Standards from the QM Continuing and Professional Education Rubric**.
** Please note: This document requires you to sign in using your MyQM account credentials. If you do not have a MyQM account please create a MyQM account to view content.
When Do I Use the Rubric?
The Continuing and Professional Education Rubric (CPE Rubric) is intended for the design and evaluation of online and blended courses—facilitated, mentored, or self-managed—that may have pass/fail, skills-based, or other completion or certification criteria but do not carry academic credit. Based on this definition, the rubric may be used to evaluate and improve college-based, non-credit courses; massive open online courses (MOOCs); and professional training and personal development courses offered by various sponsors, including businesses, professional and vocational organizations and associations, government agencies, and special-interest societies. There is no limit to the course-sponsoring organizations and courses to which this rubric is applicable. Additionally, courses to which it applies may be either instructor led or self-paced; either way they must be structured and have completion criteria.
How Was the Rubric Developed?
This edition of the rubric was developed in collaboration with the University Professional and Continuing Education Association (UPCEA), through the participation of the UPCEA Mid-Atlantic Regional organization. A joint QM/UPCEA Steering Committee and Working Group was established. Over a 12-month period, the Steering Committee defined the range of courses to which the CPE Rubric would apply, approved the Rubric development plan, and appointed the working group. The working group sponsored a preliminary set of non-credit course reviews based on the existing QM Higher Education Rubric, conducted a fit-gap analysis of the results of the preliminary reviews, and added annotations to the Rubric wherever the standard annotation did not adequately address the elements of non-credit courses. The revised Rubric was then tested on a range of non-credit courses, and the joint committee approved some further fine tuning. Once approved by the Steering Committee, the CPE Rubric was reviewed and endorsed by the Quality Matters Academic Advisory Council.

LaRue County High School head football coach Josh Jaggers had mixed feelings as he discussed the status of this year's Hawks varsity team.
"I really like our depth, to be honest," the coach in his second year at the Hawks' helm said. "We are deeper with available bodies than we were last year, but that depth is just so young and inexperienced."
Among the positive points is the effort he's seeing from his two quarterbacks, Koy Lindsey and Hunter Griffin.

As Terry Caven returns to his prep school alma mater – LaRue County High – to coach tennis, he brings with him experience that includes regional and college championships.
LaRue County's Ivy Brown played in the girls' junior All-Star team over the weekend.
The Kentucky Junior All-Stars were defeated (70-67) Friday at Greenfield-Central High School in Indiana. The Hoosiers won again Saturday 77-57.
In the first game, Indiana seized control in the final moments of the first half and never relinquished it.
Kentucky made a brief comeback early in the second half, but Indiana responded with a burst capped by a 3-pointer by Warsaw's Nikki Grose for a 62-47 edge.

GREEN BAY, WI - JANUARY 20: Lineman Chris Snee #76 of the New York Giants lines up in the NFC championship game against the Green Bay Packers on January 20, 2008 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Giants defeated the Packers 23-20 in overtime to advance to the Superbowl XLII. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Giants' Pro Bowl OL Chris Snee returned to practice yesterday after missing last week's game with a concussion – the first of his football life. from Mike Vorunkov of the Star-Ledger: Now, rested and back to health after a bye week, the Giants have regained something that has been unfamiliar to them as of late: an offensive line in place with all five starters. And just in time as the Miami Dolphins come in fresh off a seven-sack performance Sunday against the Denver Broncos. "It'll be a good thing," said coach Tom Coughlin, also Snee's father-in-law.

In the past, cardiac rehab was offered only to people who experienced
a major cardiac event, such as a heart attack or bypass surgery. But cardiac
rehab is now known to benefit people who have long-term heart problems, such as
heart failure. You may benefit from a cardiac rehab program if you have had one
of the following conditions or procedures:
Not all people who have had the conditions or procedures listed
above may be appropriate candidates for cardiac rehab. You may have other
medical concerns that prevent your doctor from recommending cardiac rehab.
But almost everyone with heart disease or risk factors for heart disease
would benefit from some form of risk factor assessment, activity counseling,
and health education.

American Idol's finale was a flop?
The answer is simply this: American Idol is competing with itself. It's expected to exceed its highs year after year, and generally speaking in television, that just doesn't happen. Older shows decline, and yes, even superhits like American Idol can't stay on top forever. Look at ER or CSI.
American Idol: We have a winner!
At long last, the season 8 finale of American Idol has arrived! It's been fun watching all of the Idols grow in their musical prowess (that's a Paula word), especially Adam Lambert and Kris Allen, the final two performers who couldn't be more different, but are both awesome in their own way.
Ryan started things off by introducing the judges, along with a funny video clip for each of them -- Randy Jackson saying "For Me" throughout the season; Kara DioGuardi saying "sweetie" and "honey" to people who didn't make it past the audition process; Paula's round-up of colorful adjectives (vocal prowess, masterful and effortless, palette, etc.); and Simon's issues with hearing what people say (as in, he could probably use a hearing aid!).
American Idol: Finale part 1 - Adam and Kris perform
"Two are left standing, but only one can take it all." Seacrest breaks it down for us this evening, just in case there was anyone who didn't know what was going on. Each contestant is performing three songs tonight: a song that they've already performed on the show, one chosen by Idol producer Simon Fuller, and the winner's single, co-written by judge Kara DioGuardi.
And what a winner's single it is. Hoo boy. I had no idea a song could be that awful. It truly plumbs the depths and nearly ruins the entire night. Luckily, the guys have two previous performances that hopefully people will remember instead of the final one. Because, wow. Just, wow.
Fox gives Glee a top-flight launching pad
Ryan Murphy's musical comedy series Glee is getting the post American Idol finale hour. And yes, it is a musical comedy TV series. After American Idol crowns its new winner on May 19, all those millions of viewers, the ones who stay on the network, will see a special preview of the show about a struggling high school glee club.
Which is the best American Idol finale?
Anyway, last night's epic battle got me thinking about past American Idol finales and whether any of them were this much of a contest. It seems like we've gone into most of the American Idol finales with obvious winners. Here's a breakdown of the past American Idol finales, and whether they stack up to last night's performances:
Oddsmakers pick a David for Idol's Winner
Okay, is someone holding down Jeff Archuleta? According to E! Online, the oddmakers at BetCRIS.com have chosen David Cook to take the title Wednesday night. As per the online bookies, Cook has a 74% chance of winning this season of American Idol.
But E! Online makes a good point about Archuleta's young quick-dialing fanbase: "Of course, last we checked, Gambling 101 was not a part of a grade schooler's course load, meaning the actual voting demographic might not jibe with the oddmakers' pick and it still could be anybody's contest."
So, who are you voting for? Who do you think will win American Idol? Better yet, who do you think deserves to win American Idol this season? Check back with TV Squad for our review of the big night.
American Idol: Elliott & Elvis are BFF
It's always been a dream of mine to take a road trip to Tennessee to visit Graceland and Dollywood -- a white trash pilgrimage of sorts. I don't foresee that happening any time soon, so I'll make do with American Idol's homage to Elvis, and keep my fingers crossed for Dolly's night next season.
Everything about tonight was backwards -- the favorites sorta sucked, and Elliott finally found his moment to shine. My crappy internet connection keeps going out, so enough of the pleasantries...let's do this!
