By introducing microbial fuel cells into the corn stover biorefinery waste recovery process, a team of researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has demonstrated a new way to produce bioenergy from the process waste stream. The process developed by ORNL's Abhijeet Borole and colleagues from the University of Tennessee and National Renewable Energy Laboratory provides a direct alternative to generate electricity compared to a mature but multi-step path that uses anaerobic digestion. Major advantages of the ORNL method include the ability to convert organics, which are difficult to degrade, into electricity or hydrogen. In addition the changes can lead to reductions in the amount of fresh water required in the process and the potential to handle high concentrations of ammonia. Details of the study are available in the paper, titled "Conversion of Residual Organics in Corn Stover-Derived Biorefinery Stream to Bioenergy via a Microbial Fuel Cell," published in Environmental Science & Technology.

April 10 – 16, 2011
This year marks the 27th anniversary of the Victims of Crime Act, a law passed by Congress and signed into law by President Reagan which laid the groundwork for the field of crime victims services. April 10 - 16, 2011 is National Crime Victims' Rights Week. We will commemorate the week with a public ceremony in the State Capitol from 12:00 – 12:30 on April 12. The national theme for the week is "Reshaping the Future, Honoring the Past."
Wisconsin passed the nation's first "Crime Victims' Bill of Rights" in 1993 and the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office was home to one of the nation's first two victim/witness programs housed in district attorneys' offices. The state helped forge a model that has been adopted nationwide to deliver services directly to victims as their offenders are being prosecuted, to secure cooperation and meet victim needs. Today, the Wisconsin Department of Justice – Office of Crime Victim Services provides training and technical assistance to county victim witness offices and administers funds to partially reimburse counties for expenses related to their victim/witness programs. Rights enforcement is inextricably linked to local victim/witness services through reimbursement requirements that ensure victims receive core rights and services in every county.
Wisconsin was one of the first states to legislate a process for rights enforcement to provide victims with a process to redress violations by public officials. While many states passed crime victims rights bills, Wisconsin was one of the first states to provide for the investigation and mediation of crime victims' rights complaints, and to provide remedies if rights were found to be violated. According to state statute, crime victims in Wisconsin who believe their rights have been violated can seek informal mediation through the DOJ's Victim Resource Center (1-800-446-6564). Upon completion of the DOJ review, victims may seek a formal review by the Wisconsin Crime Victims Rights Board (CVRB), the state body responsible for victims' rights enforcement. The CVRB is a quasi-judicial body with statutory authority to review and investigate complaints, conduct fact-finding hearings and issue remedies to public officials for victims' rights violations.
Victims' rights help victims participate in the prosecution of offenders by ensuring victims are fully informed and able to attend and participate in court proceedings. They provide a roadmap for treating victims with dignity and respect and fundamental fairness throughout the process. The DOJ Office of Crime Victim Services works in partnership with victims and criminal justice professionals to promote the meaningful provision of rights and services because without these rights and services, justice cannot truly be achieved.
More information on the Wisconsin DOJ – Office of Crime Victim Services is available here.

Google Glass will it ever be accepted?/
Yesterday Nick Starr posted the following on his facebook page after he was told to take off his Google Glass in a Seattle restaurant
Last night when we arrived we were sat at a table in the middle of the restaurant after our IDs were checked. We begin looking at the menu and a woman who works there comes up to us and tells me that the owner's other restaurant doesn't allow Google Glass and that I would have to either put it away (it doesn't fold up btw) or leave.
I inform her that I am well aware of the policy at The 5 Point Cafe but asked to see where it was policy for Glass to be disallowed at Lost Lake. She said she couldn't provide any and when asked to speak with management she stated she was the night manager. I again inform her that the two venues are different and have different policies. She refuses and I leave.
That isn't too bad, however the content above was followed by the following blocl of text
I would love an explanation, apology, clarification, and if the staff member was in the wrong and lost the owner money last night and also future income as well, that this income be deducted from her pay or her termination.
So this privileged Google Glass wearer wants someone to be terminated (from her job I assume) because he was told he couldn't wear his Google Glass. Get a life man, it will become much worse. Theft of Google Glass will be much worse than stealing someone's iPhone, for one it is much easier...you run by and grab them off someone's head.
I can see people being beat up as well if they refuse to take them off when asked
And no it is not the same as using a camera/smartphone because nobody walks around with their phone in their hand pointing the camera at your face, even when it is turned off, people would have the same reaction, they would ask you to put the phone down. Many stores do NOT allow for pictures to be taken inside the store
Anyway, you can see Nick Starr post here https://www.facebook.com/NickStarr/posts/781394843146
And I grabbed a screenshot for when he takes this down since all the replies he got are pretty much negative
And indeed, he took it down, you can't get to his facebook profile anymore. His twitter account seems to be deleted as well...oh well boo hoo

Perceived Family Competence and Late Adolescence: an Exploratory Look at Affective, Cognitive, and Interpersonal Variables
Date: August 1992
Creator: Swart, Jana L. (Jana Leigh)
Description: The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of perceived family competence on late adolescent problem-solving abilities, family relationships, and affective experience. Specific areas of interest were perceived confidence in problem-solving and approach rather than avoidance of problems; intergenerational intimacy, intergenerational individuation, and personal authority in the family system as the adolescent relates to parents; and level of depression. Subjects were 256 late adolescents whose parents were still married and living together. Results indicated that perceived family competence had an effect on the dependent variables in the expected directions. Specifically, individuals who scored high on perceived family competence were high on perceived problem-solving confidence, approached problem-solving, were high on intergenerational intimacy, intergenerational individuation, and personal authority in relation to parents, and had less depression than individuals low on perceived family competence. Several sex differences were noted. Females had significantly higher approach to problem-solving than did males. Women reported significantly higher intergenerational intimacy with parents than did men. There was a significant interaction on personal authority such that for the high perceived family competence group, women scored higher than men. However, there were no significant differences between males and females in the low perceived family competence group.

The Influence of Separation, Attachment and Family Processes on the Career Exploratory Behavior of Late Adolescents
Date: December 1992
Creator: Moreault, Anne-Marie
Description: The purpose of this study was to examine the idea that a late adolescent's career exploration activities may be influenced by levels of attachment to and psychological separation from family, family health, and family structure. It was proposed that higher levels of self and environmental exploration would be associated with positive family relationships and adequate levels of psychological separation and attachment. Cognitive and demographic variables were included as control measures. Measures of family health, attachment, separation, family structure, career exploration, career decision making self efficacy, and beliefs in the usefulness of engaging in self and environmental exploration were administered to 304 undergraduates from intact families. Multiple regression analyses were employed to examine the contribution of the independent variables measuring family processes to the variability in the dependent variables of self and environmental exploration, after controlling for the variability associated with the control measures. The demographic variables were age, gender, class standing, and decision status about a major. Results indicated that the best predictors of career exploration in late adolescence were the cognitive variables. Beliefs in the usefulness of self exploration were the best predictor of self exploration, whereas career decision making self efficacy was the best predictor of environmental exploration. ...

Assessing Adolescent Personality and Interactional Style with the Rorschach and the Personality Inventory for Youth
Date: May 1993
Creator: Wheeler, Ann C.
Description: An investigation was undertaken to examine two measures of personality and their utility with adolescent patient populations. The Rorschach, scored using Exner's (1991) Comprehensive System (2nd Ed.), and the Personality Inventory for Youth (PIY; Lachar & Gruber, in press) were explored as to their ability to distinguish inpatients from outpatients, males from females, and diagnostic groups from one another. COP, AG, CDI, DEPI, SCZI, and HVI scores on the Rorschach were utilized, as were the DIS, SOM, FAM, RLTY, WDL, and SSK scores from the PIY.

Detecting Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults: a Validation Study of Selected Screening Instruments
Date: May 1993
Creator: McBride-Houtz, Patricia (Patricia Ann)
Description: The present study investigated the criterion-based validity of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Cognitive Capacity Screening Examination (CCSE), and the Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination (NCSE) in a sample of older adults with suspected cognitive impairment. As cognitive screening tests, the MMSE, CCSE, and NCSE should predict performance relative to a more thorough testing procedure. In the present study, performance on the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery (HRNTB) was employed as the criterion measure. Scores on the General Neuropsychological Deficit Scale (G-NDS), a global performance measure computed from the HRNTB, served as the standard by which to judge the presence of cognitive impairment. The sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of each screening test, as well as how well each screening test correlated with the G-NDS, were investigated. Results of this investigation found that, although the MMSE, CCSE, and NCSE were all significantly correlated with the G-NDS, only the NCSE demonstrated an appropriate balance between high sensitivity and specificity. When a rigorous neuropsychological evaluation was employed as the criterion standard, the NCSE accurately detected the presence of cognitive impairment: in 82% of the cases. The MMSE and CCSE, however, failed to detect cognitive deficits in approximately 80% of the cases. These findings ...

The Use of Coping Strategies in Depressed and Nondepressed Chronic Pain Patients
Date: May 1993
Creator: Henson, C. D. (Connie Dee)
Description: This study investigated the relationship between preferred coping strategies, and major stressors for nondepressed, and depressed chronic pain patients. The subjects for this study were 67 chronic pain patients who are participating in a pain/spinal rehabilitation program. The information collected from the individuals or their records included: (1) basic demographic information, (2) level of activity, (3) level of perceived pain, (4) medication usage, (5) therapist rating of level of stabilization, (6) scores on three inventories including the Coping Strategies Questionnaire, the Ways of Coping Checklist, and the Beck Depression Inventory. Analyses included an examination of the relationship between level of depression and (1) type of stressors, (2) coping strategies, and (3) level of perceived pain. Further analyses included multiple regression with outcome as defined by therapist ratings at the end of treatment, and patients' ratings at follow up as the criterion variables.

Ambiguity of Loss, Anticipatory Grief, and Boundary Ambiguity in Caregiver Spouses and Parents
Date: August 1993
Creator: Rider, Jan, K. (Jan Kathleen)
Description: The purpose of the present cross-sectional study was to examine the effects of ambiguity of loss and type of caregiver-to-patient relationship on anticipatory grief, negative physical and psychological outcomes associated with grief, and boundary ambiguity in family caregivers of chronically ill patients. Questionnaires were completed by 23 parents of ill children and 30 spouses of ill mates. Using an original and a revised concept for level of ambiguity, partial support was found for the prediction that parents and spouses in high ambiguity of loss circumstances would report more anticipatory grief than those in low ambiguity ones. Contrary to prediction, a slight but nonsignificant trend occurred for parents and spouses in low ambiguity situations to report more negative physical and psychological effects associated with grief as well. Level of ambiguity was not found to impact boundary ambiguity as had been hypothesized. Spouses reported more boundary ambiguity than parents, regardless of level of ambiguity of the loss. Contrary to prediction that parents would report less anticipatory grief and more negative physical and psychological outcomes than spouses, generally, no significant differences were found between the two groups. However, using the original concept of ambiguity, parents did tend to recall more past grief than ...

The Effects of Parental Divorce and Conflict on Adolescent Separation-Individuation
Date: August 1993
Creator: Marsh, Greg (Gregory Gene)
Description: The influence of parental marital status and parental conflict on the separation-individuation process of college students was investigated in the present study. Past studies have suggested that parental divorce and parental conflict accelerate separation. However, no studies have measured more than one dimension of separation-individuation. In this study the process of separation-individuation was operationalized as involving three dimensions: psychological separation from parents (Psychological Separation Inventory); emotional attachments to parents and peers (Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment); and the development of an identity (Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status). The sample consisted of 120 male and 120 female undergraduates between the ages of 18 and 22, one-half with parents who were married and one-half with parents who had divorced in the last five years. Subjects completed self-report measures of parental conflict, psychological separation, attachment to parents and to peers, and identity status. Predictions that parental conflict would affect students in intact families differently than their peers with divorced parents were not supported. Instead, parental divorce and conflict were found to have different effects on the components of the separation-individuation process. Subjects reporting higher parental conflict levels described more independent functioning, more negative feelings toward parents, less attachment to parents ...

Body Image as Mediated by Age, Sex, and Relationship Status
Date: December 1993
Creator: Cooper, Caren C. (Caren Connie)
Description: Traditionally, body image research has focused on young women. However, there are indications of cultural shifts which extend physical appearance pressures to both men and women, as well as to middle-aged and older adults. Two hundred and ten subjects were administered objective body image measures including the Figure Rating Scale, the Body Shape Questionnaire, and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire, as well as projective measures including the Holtzman Inkblot Technique and the Draw-A-Person. The NEO-Five Factor Inventory and the Social Anxiety Subscale were also used to explore variables which might covary with body image. A 3 X 2 X 2 Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) was utilized with social desirability as the covariate.

Our experience while living in this hostel was definitely a positive one.The staffs are very helpful and moreover very nondescript :) You will find your needs and necessities taken care of without seeing them being done :) You will find things when and where you might need them.Also, given the amazing location, going around the city and dropping of stuffs when you are a bit overloaded made it so much more convenient.There was no shortage of the basic utilities with very accommodating neighbours.

When I first arrived without a reservation, they said the hostel was full. Then I made a reservation via this website and *suddenly* there was a free bed for me (in reality they had no guests at all at that time). Furthermore was the staff shouting to each other, the bathroom had a horrible smell, the shower is horrible and the building is quite noisy. I am very, very disappointed in this hostel since it seemed to be so nice according to the reviews. I'd advise people to choose other hostels.

Questions linger on dual duties for Arlington mayor-elect Mike Wissman
While there may be some sentiment in Arlington against Mayor-elect Mike Wissman serving as the town's leader and on the county school board, there apparently is nothing in the suburb's rules to prohibit the dual role.
Wissman defeated three other candidates in Thursday's election to replace Russell Wiseman as Arlington's mayor. The question of Wissman serving on the school board and as the town's leader emerged as a campaign issue in the closing weeks.
The mayor-elect has pledged to keep both seats for Arlington to have an inside view along the consolidated school district path. He also wants to prevent the County Commission from appointing someone if he steps down.
"If the County Commission was to have an election for somebody that would represent (the district), I would leave," Wissman said after the election. "But they are going to appoint, and I'm not going to let that happen."
While some have interpreted a clause in the town code of ordinances as raising questions over whether he could fill both offices, the language doesn't appear to follow that reasoning.
"As far as the town ordinances are concerned, I don't think there is any conflict," Town Atty. Charles Perkins said, emphasizing he and partner Gerald Lawson studied the matter Friday.
"I don't think it's as big an issue as it was at first glance," Wissman said Friday.
The apparent section in question deals with the composition and terms on the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. It states that candidates cannot run for more than one municipal office in an election, and they must resign their office before taking on new municipal duties.
The reason, according to the section, is to prevent "any one (1) person from ever holding two (2) elected municipal offices simultaneously."
The key term seems to be "municipal." While the mayor's office qualifies for that description, the school board position is a county seat, said Wissman, whose district covers a large section of the northeast part of the county, including Arlington, Lakeland and part of Bartlett.
Wissman said he did not check on any conflict with town standards when he stated he would hold both seats. He did ask the county school board legal staff about it and determined there was no conflict of interest.
There have been other people who have served in dual roles on the school board. State Rep. Ron Lollar, R-Bartlett, didn't relinquish his education seat when he won a trip to Nashville. Current school board member Ernest Chism also is a Germantown alderman.
Perkins said that after his review, he doesn't see any problem.
"We don't think, from our standpoint, that that is any problem with Mike Wissman being sworn in," he said.
But, even clearing the legal test, it appears there will be resistance to Wissman's plan. Opponents question him adequately serving a town considering separating from the unified school system while representing the district.
"I think it's a big problem," said Hugh Lamar, who finished second to Wissman. "I think the town is going to come down there and want him out of that school board.
"That's a big issue with the citizens, I believe. It's a conflict."

Comments come after rampant speculation that device was about to get the chop.
Apple has "no plans" to kill off the iPod Classic according to Steve Jobs, with the Apple boss forced to respond to a customer query after rampant speculation about the device's future.
The initial email, sent by a MacRumors forum user, said, "I've heard a LOT of speculation that Apple is looking to kill the iPod Classic because it wasn't updated on Sept. 1st [2010], and that a lot of people would rather Touch. The iPod Classic is probably the best iPod in the line. PLEASE DON'T KILL IT!!!"
Jobs' one line reply read, "We have no plans to." The device was the only one of the iPod line not to be refreshed last year, after the iPod touch, nano and shuffle were all given iterative updates.
In recent weeks, talk of the iPod Classic's demise has once again ramped up, with reports that supplies were running low. However, it seems it'll be some time yet before the capacious Classic is given the chop.

R.I.P. Robert B. Parker
Today I learned that one of my favorite authors, Robert B. Parker, passed away.
He is probably best know for his "Spenser" books. These fast-paced crime stories are based in Boston (my hometown) and were the inspiration for the '80s TV show, "Spenser: For Hire." I read every book and loved them all.
He is also the author of the Jesse Stone books which were made into several made-for-TV movies starring Tom Selleck. And he wrote Appaloosa which was turned into a major motion picture featuring Ed Harris.
You can read a tribute to him in the Wall Street Journal.
Bob, you will be missed!
The picture is of me with Robert Parker at his home in 2008. He and his wife Joan hosted a lovely dinner party there for me and 20 of my friends. It will be a night I always remember.

This is the second of a there volume introduction to analysis, which appeared recently in English translation, after two editions in German. It is a wonderful book that distinguishes itself by the clarity of presentation, by the fact that it is self-contained and has many exercises at various degrees of difficulty (among many other great qualities.) The first volume appeared in English translation in 2005.
The book is intended to be used both as a self study and as a textbook for courses in analysis. The consequence of this goal is the thorough treatment (with complete and elegant proofs) of many topics from analysis.
The chapters in this second volume follow logically the ones from the previous volume. Even the numbering of the chapters is in continuation:
There are only three chapters in this book, but the depth of the treatment, the richness of examples and exercises, the rigor of the proofs, make it too long for a one-semester course. Instructors could choose parts of the book to be used in several courses, or (better yet) this book could be used for independent studies, or self-studies by students, or even by more experienced mathematicians in their study and research.
Every student of analysis could benefit from reading (parts of) this book, and every analyst will find useful to own this book, as a reference when teaching an analysis course, or as a source of information.
In summary, we have here a very-very good, self-contained, well written book, including many applications and exercises, that can be used as a text for courses (real analysis, foundations, etc), as self-study, and/or as a basis for research in mathematics or even other disciplines. This book is a wonderful read.

Our media dominated world saturates us with news 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. The news is not good; in fact most of it is terrible. The tragedy of war, the broken bodies carried out of the smoking rubble, those lives now gone. The shooting deaths that have been happening at our schools where far too many innocent victims have perished in what appear to be senseless and tragic murders. The many people that are suffering with illness.
Just about everyone knows someone whose family has been turned upside down by cancer. The loss of a loved one through illness, an accident or as a victim of a senseless tragedy can leave many feeling utterly hopeless. If all we considered was the bad, the repugnant or tragic, the world could become a very dark and very sad place to inhabit. There is far more good in the world than bad if we look for it and therein lays a source for hope.
Notice the teenager that opens the grocery store door for the elderly lady and her response, "why thank you young man." After you have been sitting at an intersection for what seems an eternity, someone looks you right in the eye and motions for you to go as a smile breaks across their face.
When Irene hit the Northeast many people came to help others they knew or didn't know at all, some having lost so much of their own possessions yet willing to share what little they had left.
While we hear about tragedy every day and it can become a heavy weight, it does serve as a reminder that as Cat Stevens sang so profoundly, "We are only dancing on this earth for a short time." No one knows when their last day will be, whether you are eight or eighty-eight, the uncertainty of life does not discriminate, it is real for every one without regard to wealth, power, fame, age, race or religion.

Soroptimist of Hood River is hoping to hear from some of the dozens of women who have received its Women's Opportunity Award in the past 15-20 years.
"We know the women who have won these awards are some of the busiest people around, working, going to school and raising their families, but we'd really love to connect briefly just to know how and what they are doing," says Women's Opportunity Award Committee Chair Kate Dougherty.
Three awards are given annually to women financial heads of household who have chosen to get more training and education in order to better their families' future.
The cash awards of $500 to $1,000 each can be used for anything the recipient needs to make it a little easier to get her education, such as child care, gas, car repairs, food or books.
"We also want to invite them to help us honor this year's three recipients at a Soroptimist event on March 6," said Dougherty.
Former recipients are asked to contact her at 541-386-3850 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Learn to create fire-resistant landscapes
In Southern California, fall means fire season, with vegetation dried out after months of drought providing perfect fuel for fires driven by Santa Ana winds.
The UC Cooperative Extension is bringing "SAFE Landscapes: Sustainable and Fire-safe" workshops to Ventura County as a way for homeowners in the so-called Wildland Urban Interface, where housing abuts undeveloped areas, to learn how to create fire-resistant landscapes. One workshop was held Saturday and another will be offered tonight.
"A couple of the things we like to point out are myths and misinformation about how to create a fire-safe landscape," said Sabrina Drill, a natural resources adviser for the UC Cooperative Extension. "A specific problem is there are a number of plants that have been recommended by experts that we are finding aren't that great from a fire perspective. They're invasive plants that start in the backyard and grow and spread."
Drill said a prime example is ice plant, which appears to be a succulent and therefore not prone to burning, but dead thatch tends to build up under the plants that can be a few feet thick and provide a perfect environment for fires to smolder.
Ventura County Fire Department spokesman Bill Nash said the agency will be participating in the two remaining SAFE Landscapes workshops. "We are at critical fire conditions. The brush is very dry, which is typical for this time of year at the end of summer," Nash said.
"What we haven't had yet is critical fire weather, which consists of high heat, high winds and low humidity. I'm told by the weather forecasters that there is an above-average possibility for Santa Ana conditions to develop in October, but that's pretty far out, so we'll see."
Drill said the workshops focus on creating yards and landscapes that are aesthetically pleasing while using plants that tolerate the Southern California climate and its alternating periods of drought and rain.
"We find drought-tolerant gardens can be very fire safe. Plans that keep moisture content in the plant itself with very little watering are great to use in a fire-safe landscape ... as long as the plants don't build up dead thatch. There are native plant gardens that are fire safe," Drill said
Nash said another topic addressed at the workshops is "ember defense."
"Our part of the workshop is called 'living in the ember zone,' " Nash said. "People don't realize that even though you have homes away from wildland, you can be at severe risk of embers, which can easily blow a mile into a neighborhood. When we look back, we see that houses were lost through ember intrusion, not the actual fire itself."
Tonight's workshop will be 6:3-9 p.m. at the National Park Service Visitor Center, 401 W. Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks. A third session will be 6:30-9 p.m. Sept. 29 at the UC Cooperative Extension office, 669 County Square Drive, Suite 100, Ventura.

SMET 101 Course
Course Description | Course Philosophy and Approach | Instructor Training and Support | Course Goals and Ourcomes |
Teaching and Learning Outcomes | Contact Information
Course Description
SMET 101: Introduction to Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology is a course taught in some of the partner community colleges around the state. The course is an introduction to the science and engineering disciplines for students who want to explore which science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) fields to enter and develop concrete pre-transfer plans for achieving their goals. The course is designed to promote active engaged learning in a seminar setting. With some elements of the Freshman Year Experience (FYE) model, SMET 101 involves academic skills development, but with a significant departure from the traditional FYE curriculum, the course uses the context of extensive planning and career exploration in the STEM disciplines to teach these skills. The course works to promote independent critical thinking skills with a personal learning portfolio called the Academic Achievement Plan (AAP). In the creation of the AAP, the course development team set out to build on the philosophy of FYE to "assimilate new students in to the college environment" (Hankin and Gardener 1996). As part of that philosophy, primary emphasis is placed on assisting students to become engaged students who take responsibility for their own learning, academic planning, and professional goals. Thus, several tools for increasing students' awareness of and sense of control in making academic/professional choices and decisions are also included. Importantly, the AAP curriculum is unique in that instructors at various institutions can tailor activities and formats to appropriately meet specific needs of their students
Course Phylosophy and Approach
The course highlights degree planning, critical thinking, and problem solving, using a writing-to-learn approach. Through short, impromptu, or otherwise informal writing tasks, students learn to think through key concepts or ideas with the use of the writing-to-learn approach, a key learning tool/strategy of the course. Based on various theoreticians and practitioners (Adams, Britton, Bruner, Emig, Fulwiller and Young, Herrington, Knowblauch and Bannon, Odell, Parker, and others), this approach to learning promotes and fosters critical thinking, and as Fulwiller and Young assert in Language Connections: Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum, language provides us with a unique way of knowing and becomes a tool for discovering, for shaping meaning, and for reaching understanding (p. x). Thus, writing is used in various assignments and with different strategies to engage students through writing, one of the most effective ways to develop thinking. In addition to this approach, the course adopts a model first developed by Dr. Mary French as part of an NSF-supported astronomy project. This model Techniques for Increasing Thinking and Learning (TILTS) is based on Blooms Taxonomy of Higher Order Thinking Skills and provides a heuristic for students to think through challenges and decisions. The model is comparable to general processes of academic inquiry and is specifically discussed with students in terms of its similarities to scientific method and engineering design process. With this technique, instructors are provided strategies for helping students get the most from their study materials, activities, events, and experiences. With the techniques of summary, questioning, anticipation, application, reflection, evaluation, and articulation of the subject at-hand, the TILTS helps students to break things down for better understanding, leading to the ability to think more critically and view things from various perspectives, an essential skill in problem solving.
Instructor Training and Support
Instructors in STEM are provided training to teach the course in a one-day orientation session held at various locations around the state. This 'Instructors Institute' provides an opportunity for instructors and project staff to review course materials and assignments, and discuss instructional approaches, such as writing-to-learn. In addition, the training provides a focus on strategies and techniques to foster critical thinking skills in students with the TILTS. With this technique, students are provided strategies to see gain better understanding of their class experiences, such as assigned readings and videos of NMSU's SMET 101 professional and successful student panel videos sent to instructors throughout the semester. New Mexico AMP provides ongoing support to instructors on a regular or as-needed basis and provides the AAP, the curriculum for the course.
Course Goals and Outcomes
The ultimate goal of the SMET 101 course is to increase confidence in the academic pathway students select by broadening their knowledge in the STEM professions and its disciplines and by strengthening the academic and professional skills required to succeed in any STEM career. With considerable emphasis on promoting articulation and transfer of students from community colleges to the various state universities, a major aspect of the vision for SMET 101 is to assist instructors to help students personally, socially, and academically. With the goal of assisting students to assimilate into the culture of academia, SMET 101 helps students early on when they tend to feel more lost with respect to the major. And in community college, where students live off campus, SMET 101 helps to orient students to the resources and help that is available, thus encouraging retention.
Teaching and Learning Ourcomes
Interviews with community college instructors who have taught SMET 101 revealed many positive outcomes of teaching the course in five different areas: pedagogy transfer, modification of teaching methods, writing-to-learn, critical thinking/problem solving, and assessment. Eighty-two percent (82%) of the instructors concurred that there is substantial transfer of skills for students, which include writing skills, critical thinking skills, and problem solving skills. In addition, these instructors noted that in class activities that required problem solving and critical thinking, students verbalized their thinking processes and appeared to be making good connections with the TILTs approach. Instructors further noted that student writing and use of critical thinking and problem solving skills improved gradually throughout the semester as students practiced these skills; therefore, it is probable that these skills will transfer into their academic and professional lives. In addition, instructors gained a personal benefit from teaching the course by the transfer of pedagogy and modification of teaching methods. The most prominent pedagogy transfer occurred in the areas of writing and problem solving/critical thinking, and modified understanding of learning styles. Particularly significant is the contention that instructors make about writing pedagogy. Although only 27% of the instructors maintained previous knowledge and training in writing-to-learn, all of them stated that this pedagogy would transfer to their teaching of other classes. Also noteworthy is the assertion that many of the instructors make that writing-to learn strategies help them to teach connections between subjects and strategies in all of their classes. One instructor referred to this as "looping," meaning the connection of subject matter and strategies. Instructors contended that writing is a remarkable "tool" that helps students discover how to think and solve problems in all of their classes. One-half of all the teachers noted they are much more aware of how to engage students with critical thinking and problem solving skills, which transfers to teaching in all of their classes. Specifically prominent was the perspective that teachers view the TILTs as a technique that helps students to synthesize information and see the entire picture better. The questioning technique of the TILTs particularly helps students to challenge assumptions, act in the role "devil's advocate, which helps students see various sides of an issue or topic and generate ideas.

It's not true.
Been proved as false.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!

Bryan Broaddus of DallasCowboys.com disputes reports that the team has interest in free agent RT Eric Winston.
Broaddus has strong knowledge of the Cowboys' intentions. He indicated on Twitter that Winston's name is only being linked to Dallas for agent-driven purposes. Winston's agent is Drew Rosenhaus, who has a history of using teams to attempt to drive interest in his clients. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram is also reporting that the Cowboys are "not in contract talks" with Winston.
I'm fine with this, this draft is very deep at cb and ot are two weakest positions

Recipe by Kikkoman
"Pork is stir-fried with peppers, carrots, onions and pineapple in this version of the classic dish. Easy to make, and delicious."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon
Kikkoman Soy Sauce
1 pound
boneless pork, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
carrots, thinly sliced
onion, chunked
green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
1 cup
Kikkoman Sweet & Sour Sauce
1 (8 ounce) can
pineapple chunks, drained
(Serve on hot cooked rice) Make rice and cut up everything before you strart. Mixing soy sauce and cornstarch doesn't work to coat the pork instead marinate the pork in 1/2 cup soy sauce, then just dredge in 1/2 cup cornstarch or enough to coat all the meat lightly and fry in enough hot oil to get a nice crisp coating, turn in pan to fry evenly - No water added. Remove the cooked meat, or move to side of wok or large skillet and add oil to the pan and cook the veggies, (I like to parboil the carrots just to soften a little, drain and add to fry pan - then add pineapple and sauce. You can make your own sauce by mixing the following: The reserved pineapple juice, 1/3 c. sugar 1/3 c. ketchup and 1/3 c. white or cider vinegar, 4 Tb soy sauce and 1 Tb cornstarch - only add a little water if needed.Hint: Sharp kitchen shears work great for cutting pork loin meat into small cubes or strips!
Had to change to sweet and sour sauce II from this site as I really do not like Kikkoman.
48 Ratings
This was very very good! I didn't have enough sweet and sour sauce on hand, so I added some pineapple juice to what I had to make a cup. I cut baby carrotts in matchstick pieces (it was all I had on hand) and I omitted the green peppers because I didn't have any. I served with Jasmine rice. Even my very picky 7 year old ate this! It's a keeper!
great recipe. Fast and tasty. With vegies it makes a complete meal or I had a side dish of rice.
My husband made this for the two of us and our three children tonight. Everyone agreed that it was a delicious recipe! It was very easy and quick to prepare, and our three picky eaters(the youngest of which claims to despise sweet and sour anything!) all cleaned their plates! Can't ask for more than that! Served over white rice, this recipe is a keeper for sure! Thank you!
Very easy to prepare. My family really loved this!!!!
I really loved this quick and simple recipe. I served it with jasmine rice and my husband loved it. I used fresh pineapple because I had it on hand.When I buy a boneless pork loin, I cut part of it in chunks for dishes such as this.
made this dish exactly as called for and it was fantastic. will be making this many more times.

Xbox Live Rewards isn't giving me credit for... well anything other than the survey I took in January
It seems to be considering me 'non-gold' event though I'm an XBox gold subscriber.
I should have earned:
2/20/13 Survey - 20
2/20/13 12-month Live Gold - 200
1st Purchase on Xbox LIVE Marketplace - 100
Activate and Use a New Netflix Subscription on Xbox LIVE - 100
February: rent or buy five HD Movies, seven HD TV Shows - 200
Also, I have 3000+, and should be a contender.
Hello JMSmitty123! Your January and February survey Points are under Pending at this time. Rewards Points are only scheduled for a deposit when your each 100 Points Pending. We are sorry to inform you that you did not receive Points for this 12-month Gold subscription, as you were not eligible. Since this was your 1st Gold subscription purchase, you would have needed to make the subscription purchase online via the Marketplace to qualify for the Rewards Points. It looks like this subscription was via a prepaid card, so for that reason you will not receive the 1st Gold purchase Rewards Points. When it comes time to renew, you can renew via prepaid and have the opportunity to earn Rewards Points. Just make sure you renew within 15-days of your previous subscription expiring, and you should be set. Xbox LIVE free and trial memberships do not qualify for Rewards Points. In order to qualify for the Rewards Points for Netflix, your first usage and activation of Netflix must take place while you are a Rewards member. You must also keep the service for one month before you see the Points under Pending. At this time we are not seeing that you have fulfilled the one month requirement. Keep using Netflix, and you will surely see the Points. Finally, February offer Points will be seen under Pending by March 15th. Thanks!
Xbox Live Rewards Squad@XboxLiveRewards
February offer Points are not provided until next month.
Are you positive it was actually your very first purchase on the market place?
Also if you had used Netflix at all on your console before you were an rewards member you will actually no longer be eligible, This happened to me. :(
Your 12 month renewal give 96 hours to appear on points pending, 4-5 days just to be safe before you become worried about them.
Not sure on the contender
But I can be sure that XBLRewards5 will be by soon enough to give you official answers and let you know if any of these were not qualified for. or push your points through for you.
Goodluck -Listed
I read through the TOS as well and to add to Lm510 comments on Netflix. You lose your points/credit for downloading and watching a movie on Netflix if you had downloaded the app onto an XBOX using your Live profile and then activated an account before November 2010. I remember Netflix used to have different TOS with customers who signed-up using the XBOX instead of going online etc.... If you get a new profile name or have closed and opened a new account you should be able to receive credity but lose any unclaimed rewards from prior account. Also there is a one week grace period to allow for renewals between activations.

The Swedes hit La Madelene
Just finished a wonderful week here hosting Lars Rystadius's wine tasting group from Sweden - 11 wine fans who have been touring European vineyards and tasting wines together for the last 13 years…what a wonderful bunch of people and what an appetite for life and wine. The pics show our visit to Domaine Montirius - watching Eric Saurel punching the cap on his bio-dynamic Vacqueyras, lunch in the late September sun at Verger des Papes washed down with a magnum of Bosquet des Papes and the bottle haul from our last evening's drinking together: for the record…Bernardins dry muscat, Rabasse-Charavin Rasteau 2004, Gigondas Goubert cuvee Florence 1999, CDP Beaucastel 2000, CDP Grand Tinel cuvee Alexis Establet 2000, CDP La Nerthe 1994, and Bernardins Muscat de Beaumes de Venise which went down well with the pear and almond tart. Lars thanks for everything…you are all most welcome back very soon. The last pic shows the team singing happy birthday to Jude in Swedish…amazing!

Naomi Campbell's track record doesn't really hold her in good standing. She's accused of 'channeling her rage', to put it politely, on to anyone who dares cross her. This includes Naomi's two assistants and a housekeeper, the paps, her driver, and television reporters. Throw in some dubious biz involving Naomi and a blood diamond and we've got it almost covered. Because with the supermodel, the hits keep coming.
This latest brouhaha doesn't deal with Campbell beating down on someone. It's to do with her other alter ego – that are-you-kidding-me diva. The one that has her in all those crazy feuds with models. The ego that rivals the size of that blood diamond that's getting her into trouble. Miz Naomi refused to walk up a set of stairs, hence she canned an appearance that was necessary to promote her perfume line. In a filed affidavit, her former agent Carole White said the supermodel swanned out of a televised awards show in Australia after finding out the elevator was broken and she'd have to walk up two flights of steps. White stated, "Her failure to show was not only embarrassing, but caused friction with [the] Wella [perfume] people in Australia."
It get's worse…White's co-director at the Moodform Mission, Chris Owen, said Campbell was a nightmare traveling companion on the promo- tour. Not only was she constantly late for meetings, but she once tried to attack him with a bottle. BTW, Moodform is that company that's suing Campbell for backing out of their 12-year-old perfume deal.
But if Naomi's going down, she's going down swinging. In court documents Campbell has said that she treated White like "a surrogate mother," and that she'd sign whatever White put in front of her without reading it. Apparently that's how she got stuck with a deal that she didn't have information about. So now, she's counter-suing, saying that Moodform got money it wasn't entitled to, and that White concealed her role in the company. Her spokeswoman has said, "Ms. Campbell is shocked and outraged by the false allegations made by her former agent and cohorts . . . who have made a fortune off of her."
White's lawyer, Daniel Bright, has asked the judge to throw the case out. In response, he's written, "The human element that brings the parties before the court is clear: greed, ingratitude and a grotesque sense of entitlement on the part of Campbell that, in her mind, justifies her doing anything she wants to do, including stealing her business partners' money and then lying about what happened." However this goes down, we're going to tell Naomi what we always tell her… don't hit anybody.

The New Horizons Multicolor Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) took this image of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io at 04:30 Universal Time on February 28, 2007, about one hour before New Horizons' closest approach to Jupiter, from a range of 2.7 million kilometers (1.7 million miles). Part of the Ralph imaging instrument, MVIC is designed for the very faint solar illumination at Pluto, and is too sensitive to image the brightly lit daysides of Jupiter's moons. Io's dayside is therefore completely overexposed in this image, and appears white and featureless. However, the Jupiter-lit nightside of Io and the giant plume from the Tvashtar volcano are well exposed, and the versions of the image shown here have been processed to bring out each of these features.
The nightside of Io (left panel) is illuminated brightly enough by Jupiter to reveal many details in full color to MVIC's sensitive vision. The nightside color has been corrected to account for the greenish hue of Jupiter's light as seen by MVIC so the colors approximate what the human eye would see in daylight illumination. The image shows Io's reddish-brown polar areas and the yellow and white colors of its equatorial regions, mostly due to various forms of sulfur.
Several dark volcanic centers are also visible -- the most prominent, appearing as an elongated spot just above and to the right of the disk's center, is called Fjorgynn. Near the disk center, just over the night side of the terminator (the line separating day and night), is a row of three or four pale yellow patches, which likely are volcanic plumes catching the setting sun. These features have caught the attention of New Horizons scientists because no major plumes have been seen previously in this region of Io, and it is rare for Io's plumes to cluster so closely together.
The right panel shows the bluish color of the plume from Tvashtar, rising above the overexposed edge of Io's disk at the 11 o'clock position. The plume is blue because it contains fine dust that preferentially scatters blue light, in the same way that smoke appears blue. The red line on the edge of the disk, below the plume, is an artifact caused by the overexposure of Io's surface.
The image is centered at Io coordinates 26 degrees west, 6 degrees south, and is produced using MVIC's blue, red and near-infrared filters. In the original image, the overexposure of Io's dayside hemisphere caused extensive electronic blooming. of the image toward the left and bottom edges of the frame, and this has been removed from the versions shown here.

CRESTVIEW — Receiving the Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce president's gavel this evening is a natural extension of her community outreach as North Okaloosa Medical Center's physician liaison and community programs director, Alicia Booker says.
"It's fortunate to have a job that allows me to be out and about in the community, and that corresponds to what the chamber does," Booker said. "It was a good fit for me; it was a natural fit."
Becoming the chamber's first black president was not something Booker said she gave any thought to, but on reflection, realized her position can inspire minority business owners.
"Definitely you want your chamber, as with any body, to reflect in leadership roles the population of the community," Booker said. "There is a minority component to the community.
"The chamber is not an exclusive club. There is something for everyone to do," Booker said. "If you want to be involved, if you want to be in a leadership role, there's an open door to come in and get plugged in wherever you fit."
Lights! Camera! Action!
Following outgoing President Dennis Mitchell's "Let the good times roll," Booker's theme is "Lights! Camera! Action!" Each component is symbolic, she said.
"'Lights' represents the glow of the chamber illuminating the path for businesses," Booker said. "We all have a glow that leads other people."
"The camera helps us focus on our members and on what members' needs are."
"'Action' is a call to action on everyone in the chamber to be of service in the community and help people achieve their goals.
"When you help someone else be successful and reach their goals, you've found you have reached yours."
Booker and her board intend to develop personal relationships with chamber members, enhancing a program begun earlier this year by membership director Joe Units.
"One of the things we want to focus on is letting members know we're there to assist with their growth within the community," Booker said.
Family affair
Booker said the chamber gets more than just her leadership. Her entire family — husband Miguel and children Alex, Ean and Amber — comes with her.
"People in the chamber know we're a package deal," Booker said. "It is a commitment and lot of time, so my family comes with me."
As Booker assumes the chamber of commerce presidency at this evening's installation dinner, she looks forward to the many ways the organization can enhance Crestview and neighboring communities.
"I love our partnerships with the different (community) organizations because it's important not just from a business standpoint, but for the quality of life for the community," Booker said.

I meant to post an update about this. I can't thank you enough, Jay. You are a gentleman's gentleman.

Let me paint you a picture:
It's August in Colorado. You're in an old gold rush town, already a little bit drunk, walking with a some new friends down Main Street, where the sounds and smells of coal-burning steam locomotives and gasoline-belching Harley-Davidsons intermingle in the cool night air. There was rather large inflatable penis at that last bar, but you choose to ignore it for the time being. You enter another bar a block down - the door is on the corner of the building; the doors are that old saloon-type swinging door that you only thought existed in spaghetti westerns, and yet, here it is, and you're walking through it. There's an older gentleman at the upright piano wearing white and black, really cranking out some ragtime. The whole place appears to be lit as if by candlelight; the men behind the bar are dressed in the same white long-sleeve shirts and black vests, but with the addition of thick waxed mustaches, they look every bit their part. Attractive women in feathers and tight corsets that shine like fish scales in the dim light roam amidst the tables, taking orders and fetching drinks. You and your friends decide that such a place requires a good whiskey of some sort, and you settle on Buffalo Trace, straight; one for each of you. The piano man calls at you - you'd requested Maple Leaf Rag, remember? He doesn't really know it, yet somehow makes his way through the best rendition of the Scott Joplin tune that you've ever heard someone-who-didn't-know-it pull out of his ass. And the bourbon is good. And life is good.
And that's why I like bourbon.
. Can I be your friend?
Did I mention that I really like gin? I like gin a lot. I just got some export strength (47%) Bombay Sapphire when I came back from Miami, which is a great mixing gin. My favourite in the world though is Williams Chase which is truly exceptional. That's the one I had at the Hilton after the LDS, people who were there...some of you tried it I think?
