Apple may have snapped up ARM specialist Intrinsity
updated 04:15 pm EDT, Fri April 2, 2010
Intrinisty staff join Apple en masse
Several clues have surfaced that suggest processor design house Intrinsity may have been acquired by Apple. At least 13 engineers at the company, such as Mark Nodine, have either changed their LinkedIn profiles to reflect work at Apple as of April or have said they were starting work as of Thursday. Jim Blomgren is known to have posted the status only to retract it later as a possible hint that Apple may not approve of some of the early status changes.
Rumors have also surfaced that Apple has bought Intrinsity and that the news would become public as soon as this weekend, although neither of the involved companies has volunteered to confirm the details. The company's home page is unusually listed as "under construction."
A buyout of Intrinsity could be a potential coup for Apple in the mobile space due to the former's expertise. It's best known for adding custom logic and optimizations to the Samsung Hummingbird, a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor intended for fast smartphones like the Galaxy S. Intrinsity's efforts help keep the chip running at full speed even at the minimum acceptable power level.
While any developments would more likely use the A9, an acquisition could be a coup for Apple as it would give it further opportunities to improve performance beyond what was learned from PA Semi. It would also deprive Samsung of using Intrinsity's experience for any future processors that find their way into phones either from Samsung itself or one of its partners. [via MacRumors]

Police officer Phung Quang Tuyen said cables on one side of the year-old bridge in Lai Chau province's Tam Duong district snapped, causing the group to fall about 20 meters (65 feet) onto rocks. He said 23 of the injuries were serious.
The coffin containing the body of a village official was thrown into the shallow stream, he said.
"It was a horrible scene," Tuyen said by telephone from the province. "People were screaming and crying."
An investigation into the cause of the accident is underway, Tuyen said.
The online VnExpress newspaper quoted Nguyen Vuong Chien, administrator of the provincial traffic safety board, as saying vibrations from the funeral procession may have set off a resonance in the bridge, causing the cable to break.

NEW YORK (AP) - The nor'easter that stymied recovery efforts from Superstorm Sandy pulled away from New York and New Jersey Thursday, leaving a blanket of thick, wet snow that snapped storm-weakened trees and downed power lines, but didn't appear to add much more to the devastation.
Households from Brooklyn to storm-battered sections of the Jersey shore and Connecticut that had waited for days without power because of Sandy were plunged back into darkness in temperatures near freezing.
"For a home without power, it's great," said Iliay Bardash, 61, a computer programmer on Staten Island ...

Maral Papakhian
Maral, aka, Mud, to those who know her well or have difficulty pronouncing her Armenian name, is a native Hoosier like Nicole. Born and raised in Bloomington, IN, with her three siblings, she studied at Indiana University where both of her parents worked and taught. Maral graduated with a degree in Animal Behavior thinking she would one day work enriching zoo animals' daily lives.
After college, itching for a new adventure, Maral moved to Boston. She began working at Harvard University, while volunteering at the local zoo as she contemplated her next step. Working during the day, she discovered wine classes in the evenings at the Elizabeth Bishop Wine Resource Center at Boston University. Not only were the classes great fun, she was impressed by the vast amount of knowledge to be gained in a field in which she was relatively unfamiliar. Her family, particularly her father, loved a glass of red wine now and again, but coming from the Midwest, there was not a lot of emphasis on wine education. After taking a series of classes, Maral moved to the Bay for a Harvest Internship in Sonoma, learning how to make wine at a custom crush facility.
Since her internship, Maral has continued her journey satisfying her interest in wine and joined the Barnett family and team in August, 2012. While not enriching zoo animals' lives, she thoroughly enjoys enriching others' experiences as she shares the story behind the hand-crafted quality of Barnett Vineyards' wines and Winemaker, David Tate's expertise.

What's up with Chloe:
Chloe's unexciting gig answering the info line at The Daily Planet becomes eventful when an anonymous caller desperately pleads for help. Chloe and Lois trace the call to a phone booth in a seedy section of Metropolis. When they arrive, they witness a car running over a woman. But this not just any woman. The sleuths determine, without much help or support from the Metropolis police, that it is a stripper who was escaping someone.
What's up with Lois:
Lois helps Chloe by posing as a stripper at the Wingate Club, the establishment where they presume the stripper worked. After initially being denied entry, the cousins sneak in. A hesitant Lois proceeds to get in costume and perform. She doesn't expect Clark, who is undercover himself, to witness her first dance.
What's up with Jonathan Kent:
Jonathan's longtime pal, Senator Jack Jennings, visits Smallville to seek the Kents' help. Jennings could use some support from the Kents' farmer friends. He informs Jonathan that Lex Luthor is running for the senate seat as well; it will be a tough race. Then it becomes even tougher when investigators find a photo of Jennings with the recently murdered stripper. Clark and his dad are convinced that Lex doctored and planted the picture, but it soon turns out that the man Clark calls an uncle has a secret of his own.
What's up with Clark:
Clark confronts Lex with the photo of Jennings. Lex defends himself and lets Clark borrow his Wingate Club membership so that Clark can find out more about the girl's death. In the middle of his probe, Clark runs into Lois, who is digging for the truth in a different way - by posing as a stripper!
What's up with Lex:
Lex's campaign for state senate starts off on his side with some rumors about Senator John Jennings and a stripper, but his friendship with Clark once again faces a test when Clark accuses him of starting that rumor.
How it all plays out:
After the Metropolis police force raids the Wingate Club, Lois escapes with a European man, the man the other strippers say picks a girl every night to take with him. Lois soon finds out while in his home that this is the man who killed the girl who called The Daily Planet. She fights him, but his bodyguard tames her with a stungun. However, just as the European man is about to take Lois away in a helicopter, Clark pulls them back with a rope and his strength. Police arrive at the scene only to let the man go; since he is not from the U.S., he is immune. But, due to an anonymous tip, the Interpol arrests him in Europe later.
Senator Jennings is not tied to the crime but admits to falling for the stripper, even though he is married. He bows out of the race because he no longer feels he is the best man for the job. He encourages Jonathan, a man he deems worthy of the position, to run. But could Jonathan defeat someone as powerful as Lex? That remains to be seen.

Amanda Bynes attends an appearance at Manhattan Criminal Court in July 2013 in New York City. / Neilson Barnard, Getty Images
LOS ANGELES - Amanda Bynes has pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving after she clipped a Los Angeles County sheriff's patrol car.
District attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison says Bynes entered the plea Monday through her lawyer. The actress was sentenced to three years of probation and three months of alcohol education classes.
Bynes was arrested in April of 2012 on suspicion of drunken driving after the cruiser was hit in West Hollywood.
The 27-year-old actress already is on probation for driving with a suspended license. She received psychiatric treatment last year after authorities said she started a fire in the driveway of a Ventura County home.
Bynes also was ordered to get counseling after she allegedly threw a bong out of a Manhattan window last year.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Winslet "were so young when Titanic came out, so it's fair to say they basically grew up together, professionally at least," a source tells the Sun. "Kate has always really adored Leo and feels like she can tell him anything," the source continues. "He's been a rock for her." They last starred together in Revolutionary Road—right around the time Winslet's marriage started going south. Meanwhile, the Mirror reports Mendes has found his own special friend: actress Rebecca Hall, whom he cast in two of his plays. Though there's no sign of cheating, the relationship bothered Kate and was "one of the factors" leading to the demise of the marriage, a friend says.

Press Release No. 16/02
Who would have thought quails' eggs, baby carrots and coffee powder would adequately illustrate how differently people cope with adversity? Well, for Ms Carena Chor Phui Ling who teaches employability and life skills in ITE, there can be no better example! Her creative and lively lessons draw students to her classes like bees to honey.
Then, there is Ms Beatrice Tan Li Khoon, an entrepreneur turned teacher, whose 'business' plan is to touch the lives of students and to turn shy and self-conscious 17-year olds into confident, poised 'entrepreneurs'. She saw the fruition of her plan when a group of her students from the Entrepreneurship Club presented their business plans in a youth entrepreneurship competition and emerged top five in the nation-wide contest.
Gordon Seow Seng Loi sees a direct correlation between achievements in CCA and academic results. This spurs him to spend most of his free time guiding students to excel in externally-organised competitions and, on weekends, organise robotic competitions so that students can have fun whilst learning new technologies.
A champion of the virtual classroom is what Ruhazat bin Adnan must be. His on-line technical lessons are such a hit that students can't wait for the next new topic to be posted on-line.
And to cap it off, there is the teacher who adds MAGIC to the classroom. How else to encourage creativity and innovation if one is not? Tay Khee Wee sets out to show students that a creative and innovative mindset is everyone's birthright. He sets the example by tweaking technology in interesting ways so that teaching and learning can be fun, rewarding and magical.
2 These teachers, together with 4 other colleagues will be honoured in a Ceremony on Saturday 31 August 2002 for their outstanding contributions to the teaching profession. The 9 recipients of the ITE Best Teacher Award 2002 are:
2.1 Ms Carena Chor Phui Ling (Excellence in Teaching);
2.2 Philip Tan Boo Hock (Excellence in Teaching);
2.3 Ms Beatrice Tan Li Khoon (Excellence in Teaching);
2.4 Ms Ler Ai Choo (Caring for Students' Well-Being);
2.5 Gordon Seow Seng Loi (Co-Curricular Activities Contributions);
2.6 Ms Eunice Chua Lay Tin (Instructional Materials Development);
2.7 Ruhazat bin Adnan (Instructional Materials Development);
2.8 Tay Khee Wee (Innovation in Teaching and Learning); and
2.9 Cheong Fook Loy (Innovation).
Profiles of the teachers are at Annex A.
3 Many successful ITE graduates have attributed their success to their teachers - the unsung heroes of ITE. First started in 1994, the ITE Teacher Award is an annual award given to outstanding ITE teachers who have made significant contributions to the teaching profession and the development and care of their students.
4 Members of the media are cordially invited to interview the recipients of the ITE Best Teacher Award recipients. For more information and arrangements, please contact Ms Liang Hwee Ming, Head/Media Relations, or Ms Tham Mei Leng, Head/Board & International Relations, on Tel: 67720805 or 67720744.

Of Quails' Eggs, Baby Carrots and Coffee Powder
"You're just like my mum....except she doesn't play the way you do."
This statement, told to Ms Carena Chor by one of her students, aptly describes the kind of teacher Carena is. For she is fun loving and highly creative during her Academic Studies lessons. And, at the same time, she shows motherly care and concern for her students, which draws them to her.
Students at Carena's class at ITE West (Dover) have learnt to expect the unexpected whenever they step into class. For the strangest objects have turned up there - whistles, bottle caps, soccer cards, hot water flasks, quails' eggs, baby carrots and coffee powder - just to name a few.
"It is not easy to get and sustain students' attention, so I often rely on 'props'," said Carena. "For example, to get students to pay attention in class, I use whistles, or any of my National Day items which make noise. It is very effective."
Carena also uses her 'props' to illustrate what she wants to teach. She said: "For example, during a module on Personal Effectiveness, I poured hot water into flasks containing quails' eggs, baby carrots and coffee powder. The idea was to illustrate how different people coped with adversity. Some people 'crumble and dissolve' during adversity, as shown by coffee powder. Others 'grow weaker' like baby carrots which soften with hot water. But there are yet others who 'harden and become tougher', just like quails' eggs."
Besides interesting illustrations, Carena also believes in experiential learning. Students in her Personal Effectiveness and Communication Modules have opportunities to participate actively in classroom learning. They play word games and even fill in lyrics of songs.
Said Mohamed Fedlie bin Mohamed Nor, first-year student at ITE West (Dover): "Madam Chor's lessons are lively and interesting. We are involved in discussions and games. We even take over the teacher's role sometimes because she wants us to learn better. In class, we can be expressive and she welcomes our views. In fact, time flies during her lessons. We enjoy them so much that we wish the lessons could just go on and on."
Carena often tells personal stories, to illustrate her point. "I tell them my own personal experiences with life. Also, I've got an eighteen-year-old son, so I would tell them stories about him." These stories struck a chord with the students, who would listen raptly.
Carena feels that a good teacher is one who "mustn't dread walking into a class." "Even when I feel down or tired, I don't transfer my feelings to my students. That's why I always project myself as being on top of the world when I enter a class."

Dedicated Teacher Brings Out the Best in His Students
Teach Calculus at breakfast time? Why not! Philip Tan, a Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Design (MEED) Training Officer, would spend several of his Saturdays at the Burger King restaurant at Liat Towers or Raffles City, teaching Calculus to small groups.
"I offered to teach my students in a fast-food restaurant. Somehow, this idea appealed to them very much. The students asked many questions and absorbed concepts far better in this informal environment. I'm proud to say that a high 95 per cent of them passed the subject," said Philip.
Such is the dedication of Philip, who is concerned for his students' academic results, as well as their well-being.
In class, he ensures that his students have a good grasp of his lessons. "I try to give my students as much hands-on and practical experience as possible. For example, during the subject of Electrical Drafting and Design, I brought students on a campus tour to see the actual installation in the campus. I also brought actual electrical drawings for them to view, so that they get an idea of what 'real-life' MEED work is about," he said.
In 2001, Philip formed the MEED Club. "I wanted this to be a club for MEED students to get together and develop strong bonds. I encouraged my students to organise social and community activities in this club," explained Philip.
It was through this club that students who show leadership potential blossom.
One of these students was Lin Yifang, currently a second-year Ngee Ann Polytechnic
student. Recalled Yifang: "I used to be a very shy and reserved girl. But
Mr Tan became my form teacher during my second year, all this changed. He appointed me Vice-President of the MEED Club and gave me areas of responsibilities. I began to organise many of the club activities. Through his guidance, I even gained courage to give numerous talks to large groups - something I never imagined I would dare to do! " Quiet Yifang became one of the top MEED students in her course and even obtained the Lee Kuan Yew Model Student Award before she graduated in May 2002.
Besides Yifang, Philip has groomed a number of students with good potential and a number of these students went on to win awards at ITE and beyond. Recalled engineer Tan Teck Chuan, who graduated in 1989: "Mr Philip Tan is a lecturer who has demonstrated great enthusiasm. Many past graduates, including myself, have developed our academic interest, thanks to his continual encouragement. With him as our strong supporter, we were encouraged to demonstrate the 'never-give-up' spirit found in us ITE students. " Inspired by Philip and other ITE teachers, Teck Chuan furthered his studies and obtained First-class Honours at Cardiff University, U.K, 1995.
In terms of professional development, Philip's forte is in AutoCADD software. He has a strong interest in this area and would attend seminars to update himself on the latest in AutoCADD. He has mentored staff from his department and conducted seminars and workshops on the latest CAD updates. He also markets and teaches customised AutoCADD classes to public members.

"Every Student Has a Story to Tell
When she joined ITE four years ago, she wanted to make a significant impact on the Business Studies students.
Said Beatrice Tan, Training Officer in Nitec Office Skills: "Being in the teaching profession is indeed a calling. I felt the calling to teach in ITE because I felt that the students there tend to be less privileged than others in the education system. Hence, they need us more. I want to be a teacher who can make an impact on my students. "
She added: "The students I teach are very sincere. Every one of them has a story to tell, and it is my job to find out what that story is and how to guide them from there. I try to impart life skills to them and also give them encouragement and motivation to go further in life. "
She has, indeed, made her impression on her young charges. ITE graduate Eirinta bte Mat Nawi remembers Beatrice well. She said: "Ms Tan taught us Business English. Although some of us struggled with the subject, she never gave up on us. She taught us the very basics and slowly built up our foundation. She was friendly and approachable and we really liked her. "
Eirinta pointed out that it was thanks to Beatrice's encouragement that she has progressed in her studies. "She would always motivate me to go further, " recalled Eirinta who took up a Higher Nitec Accounting course before she entered Ngee Ann Polytechnic to do Accountancy.
A former entrepreneur, Beatrice injects interest into her lessons by providing her students with real-life anecdotes and useful tips about setting up their own businesses.
"I used to run enrichment classes for children. Now, as a teacher of the Entrepreneurship module of the course, I tell my students how I ran my business and what were some of the 'hardships' I endured. I also explained to them that having the right attitude is all-important. As a businessman, you have to be very customer-oriented, treat your customers well and know that every customer matters," she said.
As the teacher in charge of the newly-set up Entrepreneurship Club, Beatrice hopes to cultivate a spirit of enterprise in her students. "I want to nurture an entrepreneurial spirit. We have exciting plans for the club, including our first attempts to run our own businesses here in campus," she said.
Her greatest joy comes from seeing the average students develop to their full
potential, with the right guidance. "I remembered this particular group
of students who were very shy. Yet they were able to take part in a nation-wide
business competition and compete among those in the Polytechnics and Junior
Colleges. During the competition, they had to present their business ideas to
large audiences. I watched them become more and more confident and self-assured.
They emerged among the top five groups in the competition. I was very proud
of them."

Winning Students Over with Heart Work
For Alice Theng Mee Choo, first-year Nursing student at ITE East (Bishan), her form-teacher, Ms Ler Ai Choo, Training Officer/Nursing/ITE East (Bishan), is someone with a heart of gold. "I'm a mature student, but Ms Ler has won my heart over as one who is dedicated to her profession. In class, she is firm but humorous, and outside class, she is our mother and our friend." Her students pour accolades on her excellent teaching skills and dedication, but what won their hearts was the way she cares for them.
Said Edgar Tan Chih Hsueh, also a first-year Nursing student, "Ms Ler is like a mother to us. She goes on the extra mile for us all the time. Whether it is in the preparation she puts into the Biology lessons, or in the way she cares for us. She goes beyond her job scope." Edgar must know, for his grades in Biology which was taught by Ms Ler, has improved from borderline pass to 'A'.
"I see every student as a starfish to be saved, and I want to save as many as I can," said the sprightly mother of a grown-up daughter. "For me, I know that if their emotional needs are met, academic performance will follow. So, I take good care of them. I talk to them like they are my children, and they know they can approach me, no matter how serious or private their problems". And many students have taken her words seriously: they'd wait for her after class; others would call her on her handphone. No wonder then, a normal day for this nurse educator, which begins at 7:30 am, would not end till 8:00 pm almost every night.
Her dedication has led her to visit students' homes after school, to talk to parents to discuss their children's performance, at her own time. In class, she shares with students her own life and experiences to give depth on issues which affect them or patients whom they would be dealing with. "It gives me great pleasure to see my students completing the Nursing course successfully. For me, it's like I've contributed back to society. I tell every student, to have high expectations of themselves and to be proud of who they are. In service, they should put themselves in others' shoes so that they will bring pride to the profession."
In the same way, this nurse educator who has been training student nurses for
the past16 years has not lost that fiery commitment she carries with her when
she first joined the profession. Of her commitment to students and their well-being,
she says, "Use your heart to guide them. You won't go wrong with that."

The Competition Expert
He works quietly behind the scenes, guiding his students and helping them to excel in external competitions. He spends long hours and laboured through many weekends organising robotic competitions of his own.
Gordon Seow Seng Loi, a Mechatronics Training Officer at ITE West (Dover), does this enthusiastically and with a great sense of pride.
Organising robotic competitions is what Gordon excels in. These competitions, conducted during special occasions like Open Houses, are invaluable for drawing crowds to ITE campuses. The competitions help to generate fun and excitement among ITE and secondary school students.
"I search websites for new ideas on robotic competitions organised by other countries, like Japan. I then adapt these ideas and tailor them to competitions which will suit the level of ITE and secondary school students," he explained.
Gordon supervises the competition from the start to the finish. He will plan the logistics of the competitions, run the actual competitions and do the follow-up work, such as the announcement of results.
The competitions he organises include the Auto-Guided Vehicle Challenge, Track Runner Competition, Tape Guided Robot Competition and Obstacle Avoidance Robot Competition. These competitions require participants to use simple programming to enable robots to travel along a path, either on a track or in maze.
Mr Lim Peng Koon, a Design & Technology teacher from Teck Whye Secondary, had students who participated in Gordon's competitions for the past three years. He recalled: "Mr Gordon Seow is an excellent organiser. He is very responsible and would call up my colleagues without fail before the competitions to check if they have any queries. During the competitions, we could see him in the thick of things, making sure that each aspect of the competition runs smoothly. And he is very patient and most pleasant to work with. "
Gordon also plays an important part in motivating his students to do well in external competitions. These competitions include the Singapore Robotic Games, Singapore River Raft Race and Dominoes Competition organised by Mediaworks. Much of his free time is spent helping students to work on their competition projects.
"My greatest satisfaction is to see the pride and joy in my students' faces when they represent ITE in competitions, or help me out when I organise events. These activities have helped them to develop their confidence, self-esteem and a sense of pride in ITE. In fact, the students who do well in CCAs also tend to improve on their grades, because they feel motivated to excel, not just in their CCAs, but their studies as well."

Undaunted by Setbacks to Achieve Dream of Developing New Courseware
It all started with a dream - to develop useful online lessons for her Accounting students.
Within two years, Eunice Chua Lay Tin has achieved more than she could imagine - not only has she successfully developed innovative online courseware packages, she also created a virtual learning community filled with useful resources for ITE teachers. A commendable achievement, indeed, for this Training Officer from ITE West (Clementi) with virtually no programming background.
Eunice, who is currently doing a three-year Bachelor of Multimedia programme at Griffith University, wrote in an email interview: "My greatest joy was at the final moment, when I saw my dream turned into a reality - the feeling was simply beyond description."
She started her first project on courseware development on 'Costing Module I - Introduction to Costing' in July 2000. Her learning package - which involves a setting up of a virtual factory based on Costing Practical Case Studies to provide the learners a realistic learning context - took Eunice eight months to complete. Developing this courseware package from scratch was no easy task. Eunice pored over the Internet for hours, searching for information to include in her virtual factory. She also needed to hone her IT skills. "There were times of discouragement, frustration and doubts. I'm glad I didn't give up," she said. Undaunted, she pressed on.
The final product was well worth the effort. "The students indicated that the package is interesting and it challenged them to exercise their thinking, communication and collaboration skills. Through the process of being engaged in the various learning activities, they gained a better understanding of the business operations of a manufacturing concern," wrote Eunice.
The project was subsequently presented at the Asian Media Information & Communication Centre (AMIC) Regional Conference on "eLearning - The Future of Education" in September 2001. Eunice received positive feedback from conference participants.
Encouraged by the success of her first online project, Eunice developed another module - Material Costing - Inventory Control - which was an extension of the virtual factory concept. She has also inspired other colleagues to follow in her footsteps.
As the Chairperson of the eLearning community at ITE West (Clementi), Eunice spearheaded several IT initiatives in the campus. One of these was the creation of a virtual eLearning community, which was set up in July 2001 to provide staff with resources for teaching and learning. "The virtual eLearning community became a platform for me to share with my colleagues the available online resources on eLearning. I hope it could inspire more staff to adopt more innovative teaching methods, " she wrote.
When the eTutor Learning System started in 2002, Eunice was able to help her colleagues from Clementi campus adapt quickly to this new mode of learning. "I saw myself as the facilitator, providing directions, encouragement, guidance and technical support," she recalled.

Developing Enriching Courseware Which Students Love
"Sir, will your next lesson be as interesting as the one we just had?" asked a student of Ruhazat bin Adnan after a lively Industrial Robotics lesson.
This is a typical remark which Ruhazat, a Mechatronics Training Officer from ITE East (Tampines), comes across during his classes. For his students love the online courseware that he has developed. They enjoy its animation features, interesting graphics, self-assessment features and even multi-level games which Ruhazat has specially designed for his students to help them understand their subject matter better.
Ruhazat's journey in online courseware development began in 1998, when he, together with two other ITE East (Tampines) teachers, pioneered the 'Campus Online' project. This new project aims to develop web-based learning materials for students. Students use the courseware to supplement classroom teaching, and also as a means for them to revise their work.
Ever since then, Ruhazat has become a champion for online learning in ITE. He has since developed about 30 curriculum hours of courseware in the Industrial Robotics module at the Higher Nitec level. He also developed an eLearning courseware package for the Flexible Manufacturing System module using Authorware and Dreamweaver software.
"Web-based learning is ideal for ITE students, who are IT-savvy. The lessons are self-paced and students can revise them many times over. Lessons are also enriching, as we can include additional resources not found in textbooks, for students who want to learn more," said Ruhazat.
His courseware was carefully developed based on the constructive feedback from his students. "Each time I develop a new topic, I will try it out on my students and get their feedback," he said.
Ruhazat constantly keeps himself updated on the latest in instructional technology. He has attended a five-week course in Instructional Technology at the University of Minnesota - Crookston, USA, in 2001. He also took up an eight-month distance learning courses in Instructional Technology from the same university and has completed the course in February 2002.
He hopes to encourage more of his colleagues to use online learning as a new educational tool. "I hope that my colleagues and friends will be able to shift from traditional classroom teaching, to learning in the virtual classroom," he said. He has conducted a number of sharing sessions with his fellow colleagues on IT Animation and Web-Page Development.

Magic in the Classroom
"I think about how I can teach a topic or module more effectively wherever I am. Whether it is waiting at the bus stop, or just looking out at the rain, I never stop to observe, to marvel, or to let my imagination run. In my mind, I'd always be toggling questions like: How can I teach this well? How can I make it more interesting or, perhaps, simplify it for my students?"
And if you do have a chance to look at the basket of projects he has developed over the years, you would notice that they are not merely innovative teaching aids, but also gadgets and software he has developed to make lessons more interesting or lively. Amongst them: software for electronic score boards, 'quick pick' for quizzes and even an electronic timer for classroom games. "Our mind works in mysterious ways. Our creativity and quest for knowledge are stimulated by different experiences. I hope, by providing students with a creative environment, I'd be able to light that spark of creativity in them, too, " he said.
Not surprisingly, his students have also come up with a number of quality projects short-listed for internal and external awards. Amongst them include projects using SMS technology to control home automation or to initiate rescue operations in emergency. Others include a SOS Wand, which uses simple theory and circuitry to create SOS messages with a single row of LED emitters.
And to 'Professor Tay', as he is fondly known to staff and students in ITE West (Dover), how else can one encourage innovation than by being innovative yourself? Among the many innovative teaching aids he has developed, is the modular auto-guided intelligent car he developed for teaching complex engineering concepts in Mechatronics engineering. Aptly named MAGIC, this easy-to-build vehicle enables students to focus on learning one aspect of engineering theory at a time, while being able to see the vehicle moving and functioning.
"Unlike conventional teaching methods where all topics have to be taught before students put a project together, with this particular aid, by concentrating, for example, on how micro-processor programming is done, students get the thrill of having the whole picture while focusing on one part of the vehicle. This, I found, encourages students to be curious about other areas of knowledge involved as well." The project and its concept paper titled "An Innovation in Project-Centred Learning" was presented at the Innovation 2002 Forum organised by the League in Innovation for Community Colleges, USA, in March this year.
Winning the ITE Best Teacher Award a second time, the first being in 1997, in Instructional Media Development, did not cause him to rest on his laurels. In fact, it has spurred him onto greater heights. "Winning the Award in 1997 told me that Management recognises the work I did, but it also meant I cannot stop improving to bring honour to the organisation. "

Iron Sharpens Iron
How would you like to have a utility meter that not only tells you how much your electrical bill will be for the month, but will announce the amount as well? Well, if that is what you need, then, welcome to TUMM; a battery-operated talking meter that consists simply of an LCD display, a speaker, an optical sensor and a chip. Developed by Mr Cheong Fook Loy, Training Officer/Mechanical Engineering/ITE West (Dover) and his students, the Talking Utilities Meter Meter (TUMM) was awarded a Merit Award in a nation-wide contest organised by Microchip Technology and Temasek Polytechnic.
While TUMM is fascinating, this is but one of the many award-winning innovative projects Fook Loy, winner of this year's ITE Teacher Award 2002 for Innovation, has developed in recent years. Other award-winning ideas that brought honour to ITE include the Intelligent Piggy Bank - a charity box intelligent enough to "sing, see and talk", Intelligent Charity Box and even a Wonder Hanger. By encouraging his students to apply their knowledge in creative but practical ways, Fook Loy has managed to successfully combine his love for teaching with his love of technical project work.
Said Fook Loy: "I find satisfaction in solving technical problems. I think about how to improve on projects wherever I go. How to make it interesting - both for myself and for my students." His latest project : a Multi-Purpose Vision Inspection WorkStation is a teaching aid he spent one year building with 3 students. "With this WorkStation, I hope to enhance the teaching of the Quality Engineering specialisation we have in Mechanical Engineering. This project has won the ITE Alumni Outstanding Student Project Award. "
In his usual humble and unassuming manner, Fook Loy would always credit his students and colleagues for the awards which he together with his students have won over the last 3 years. These include a Silver Award in the prestigious Tan Kah Kee Young Inventors' Award (Open Section) in 2000 for the Intelligent Charity Box and a Spirit of Young Enterprise Award for the Intelligent Piggy Bank.
For the teacher who, in the early years had found teaching ITE students tough,
he has today found a niche in his career. "I believe iron sharpens iron.
Just as I have the knowledge to share with students, they have ideas I'd never
have thought about. For me, I'd do anything I can to help them so that students
can experience success; and, if by any chance we win an award, that to me, is
bonus. "

For how long have I believed I've been as the song goes "Alive with the Glory of Love", while in fact I have been nothing more than a zombie. Blue Beauty… strangely enough I'm looking for a girl that does take my breath away.
Blue Beauty… breathing stops
I'm unable to speak
You're so damn hot
Is this a dream?
A girl, a woman, a queen
Has found me this day
Can it be?
Blue Beauty I crave
Heartbeat drops
To nothing
Then it's over the top
You make me weak
Yet I sneak a peek
There has to be a way
Don't you see?
Blue Beauty I crave
Think I might pop
Such is my deed
Telling your pops
Exactly what I think
His daughter I need
How I hope and I pray
Beg you please
Blue Beauty I crave
Just you and me
Will you stay?
I believe
Blue Beauty I crave

What Do You Like Making Vs. What Sells
Posted 24 March 2014 - 04:04 PM
Posted 25 March 2014 - 09:34 AM
What I enjoy making most are raku fired figures of animals, which as it turns out is what i sell the most. My figures are wheel thrown, handbuilt and extruded "bullets" with added features such as eyes, ears, snouts, feet, tails, etc. That is where each gains its own character, and where the buyer can start to "see" an animal they have stored in their mind. Most I fill with a few pieces of broken up bisque for a little user interaction via noise when shaken. Tugging hard on those heart strings ups the perceived value of a inanimate object and sells.
Like Marcia Selsor, I also like making orbs as canvas for decoration or alternative firing techniques. Also mostly not fulfilling any function either. There is something about taking 3-4 pounds of clay and seeing how wide, and tall, you can make something without it collapsing, that i find irrestible.
My functional work sells, but not nearly as well. They probably don't have the potter's "spark" within.
Posted 25 March 2014 - 11:58 PM
I like to make huge show stoppers. But I mostly get orders for large pots.
Posted 26 March 2014 - 07:18 AM
What are huge show stoppers ?
Posted 26 March 2014 - 09:02 AM
Large highly embellished art peaces. A lot of times I will do some glass work with them. A show stopper will stop people and draw a crowd.

About Me Experienced
They are the best
These are by far the best guitar cables i have ever used and I have tried many from the cheep generic Guitar Center ones to the really expensive DiMarzio, Mogami etc. Thes make changing guitars quickly and without the annoying pop very easy and the sound quality is the best in my opinion. Also as someone with a kid, I love the fact that when my daughter accidently kicks or steps my cord the cord detaches as opposed to my guitar flying accross the room.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

After receiving triennial, unannounced visits from The Joint Commission this summer, Arbour-HRI Hospital, Pembroke Hospital and Westwood Lodge (including Lowell Treatment Center and The Boston Center) received positive survey results in response to the review of its standards.
The Joint Commission (TJC) is dedicated to continuously improving the safety and quality of the nation's health care through voluntary accreditation. TJC's on-site survey of Arbour-HRI Hospital occurred in July and the survey for Pembroke Hospital and Westwood Lodge took place in September.
The Hospitals were evaluated against a set of national standards by a team experienced in the delivery of behavioral health care services. These standards address the organization's level of performance in key functional areas, such as patient rights, patient treatment and life safety, and infection control. As part of protocol, the hospitals have 45 and 60 days from the conclusion of the surveys to follow up with corrective actions for direct and indirect findings, respectively.
"There are always areas of compliance that you learn from and new standards every year," explained Lisa Pappone, director of clinical and quality services. "Overall, I think both surveys went well."
All three hospitals received limited direct impact findings, and The Joint Commission provided positive feedback on patient care at each facility. At Arbour-HRI Hospital, TJC was impressed with the structure of patient rounds on the inpatient units, as well as its revisions and continued upgrades to its electronic medical records system. The survey team was also impressed with the Hospital's Cultural Diversity training, which was described as "one of the best."
At Westwood and Pembroke the surveyors were especially impressed with the continued commitment and facility and clinical improvement throughout the facilities, including patient care and treatment planning processes.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - The Boston Red Sox have acquired Mike Carp from the Seattle Mariners for a player to be named later or cash.
Seattle designated the 26-year-old Carp for assignment earlier this month, and the Red Sox were able to work out a deal for him. Carp can play both first base and left field. Boston and Seattle announced the move Wednesday.
Carp was drafted by the New York Mets in 2004 and traded to Seattle in December 2008 in a deal that sent reliever J.J. Putz to New York.
The 26-year-old Carp was designated for assignment on Feb. 12 to make room on the 40-man roster for starting pitcher Joe Saunders.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- The Shelby County Commission has delayed a vote to purchase two tiny remote-controlled drone helicopters that can be used for finding criminal suspects and investigating traffic accidents.
The drones were included in the Sheriff's Office request for other gear that also included scuba equipment.
The Commercial Appeal reports the commission voted 10-1 on Monday to delay a final vote on the purchase of the helicopters.
Some commission members questioned the sheriff's chief administrative officer about whether the drones could be used to look into people's windows or backyards without a warrant.
About 60 public and private entities across the nation have sought federal certification to fly drones, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an advocacy group for privacy and free speech.
That includes Mississippi State University, Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro and police in North Little Rock, Ark.

Today a woman diagnosed with Stage 1 or Stage 2 breast cancer has a 98% survival rate. Thanks to digital mammography, breast cancer is being diagnosed much earlier than allowing the tumor to grow up to 7 years before it is felt. This hasnt always been the case.
I had the pleasure of working with breast cancer research patients 25 years ago and remember consulting with them on clinical trials. At that time we only were treating 20-40 year olds so they had spouses, children and parents as their support. Their conventional treatments had failed and they came to Duke University Medical Center for experimental treatments. These treatments included self-donated bone marrow transplants, stem cell research in its infancy, cell growth factor stimulating factors, and hormonal blockades.
These wonderful women warriors who were willingness to participate in clinical drug trials then have made it possible for those diagnosed today to have a higher survival rate.
I often would ask those women why they wanted to participate in those trials and they would almost always reply that they didn't think it would help their prognosis, but hoped that it would help their grandchildren. While the researchers and fundraising organizations collaborated to hold the trials, this was at a time when I was lobbying to get mammograms covered by insurance.
Breast cancer survivors are the most resilient group of women that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. They have battled surgery, chemotherapy and radiation and come out on the other side changed but not defeated. These women have organized and explored resources to improve the journey for their kindred sisters to follow. Their positive attitudes and sense of giving has definitely made others paths a bit smoother.
The breast cancer survivors in this community continue year after year thanks to the fundraising efforts of Moms on the Run, American Cancer Society Relay for Life and Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Through their efforts, women have the support they need when diagnosed.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men and the second leading cause of cancer death. The American Cancer Society estimates 241,740 new cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed, and 28,170 men died of prostate cancer in 2012. While 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime, microscopic evidence of prostate cancer is found at autopsy in almost all elderly men following death from other causes. These findings, and the fact that prostate cancers generally grow slowly, suggest that not all prostate cancers are life threatening if untreated.
There have been advances in the treatment of prostate cancer with improvements in both efficacy of cure and minimization of side effects. However, not every prostate cancer requires immediate treatment, some cancers may be carefully monitored for years, and some cancers may not require treatment at all. Our goal here at the Columbia University Department of Urology is to use our experience with most effective treatments to help guide our patients in deciding which option best meets both, their medical needs and personal preferences.
What is active surveillance?
Active surveillance is an alternative to immediate treatment and involves the careful monitoring of 'low-risk' prostate cancers, and initiating curative treatment at a more appropriate time point, if necessary at all. Men with higher risk prostate cancer are more likely to experience progression if not treated immediately and therefore are not suitable for active surveillance. There are two important factors for a successful active surveillance program:
1. Accurate identification of men with 'low-risk' prostate cancer
2. Thorough and careful monitoring of men on active surveillance to recognize if and when a man requires and would benefit from treatment
Who is a candidate for active surveillance?
Only men with cancers that are considered at low risk for spread or growth beyond the prostate are amenable to active surveillance. Higher stage and risk prostate cancers have a higher likelihood to progress and spread beyond the prostate if treatment is being significantly delayed.
As there are no definite rules as to who should or should not choose active surveillance, the physician's recommendation is based on an individual patient's age, clinical findings, and the patient's preferences. Criteria that help guide in the risk assessment of an individual's prostate cancer are based on levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood, microscopic evaluation of the prostate biopsy specimen, and imaging studies such as trans-rectal ultrasound, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Why active surveillance?
With the implementation of PSA-screening in the mid-1990s, prostate cancers have been diagnosed more frequently and in the earlier stages. Given the slow growing nature of prostate cancer, several reports have criticized the wide-spread use of PSA-screening leading to an over-diagnosis and subsequent over-treatment in the United States. As mentioned, not every prostate cancer requires immediate treatment. The surgical and radiation treatment options can be associated with side effects (e.g. decreased erectile function and urinary incontinence). These problems do not occur in all men, but they are a risk with all treatment options, such as surgical removal of the prostate, cryotherapy, radiotherapy, or hormonal therapy. For patients with low risk prostate cancer who wish to maintain their current quality of life and defer intervention until they stand to benefit from treatment, active surveillance is an excellent option.
Who can I contact if I have questions regarding active surveillance and would like to schedule an appointment?
Ultimately, the decision to pursue treatment or active surveillance is one that needs to be made together with the help of an experienced Urologist. Several of our faculty members are specializing in the diagnosis, surveillance, and treatment of prostate cancer, and can help guide you in your decision making.

National Football Conference Championship: Futures Odds NFL 2014
Try as we might, we can't really recall the last time that the major League Baseball All-Star break lasted four full days. That's the case this year so today we are going to look at the futures prices to win the 2014 National Football League NFC Championship. Super Bowl XLVIII is just 198 days away and NFL Opening Night Kickoff is 48 days away, on Thursday, September 5, 2013. Action at online betting boards is really starting to heat up!
San Francisco 49ers Top 2014 NFC Championship Chalk
After sleepwalking through the first half of Super Bowl XLVII (not to mention the first play of the third quarter a Jacoby Jones 108 Kickoff Return TD) it took a power failure at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to jolt the 2013 NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers to life. It was little to late as the Baltimore Ravens hung on for a thrilling 34-31 World Championship win. The bookmakers at sportsbook.com are obviously impressed with the Niners as they have the defending NFC Champs posted as +350 favorites to repeat the feat. You have to go back 17 years, to the 1996-97 Green Bay Packers, to find the last back-to-back NFC Championship football team.
Four of Six NFL 2013 Playoff Teams Garner NFC 2014 Favorite Status
Along with the Niners, the young and dynamic Seattle Seahawks (+450) the Green Bay Packers (+800) who are perennial top chalk, and the rock solid Atlanta Falcons (+900), all made the playoffs last year. Those clubs make up the top four favorites in the NFC. As for the other 2013 NFC playoff squads, some have questioned whether RG3 can stay healthy in Washington and the Redskins have dropped to +2000 odds while the one hit wonder Minnesota Vikings have plummeted to a +3000 price . Only St. Louis (+3500) and Arizona (+12500) have a longer line than the Vikings. Yours truly makes ONE heart bet a year. Give me the Lions at +2500 ML odds to win the NFC Championship for a Franklin at Sportsbook.com! It's going to pay off – maybe soon!

Update: Abp. Dolan backs Bp. Tobin, demands Rep. Kennedy apology
A small proviso - President Obama has never said he wants to protect the helpless baby in the womb.
Over this past weekend, several people mentioned to me Representative Patrick Kennedy's blast at bishops for allegedly dividing the nation on the issue of healthcare; you can view the video here. His remarks were sad, uncalled-for, and inaccurate.
The Catholic community in the United States hardly needs to be lectured to about just healthcare. We've been energetically into it for centuries. And we bishops have been advocating for universal healthcare for a long, long time.
All we ask is that it be just that -- universal -- meaning that it includes the helpless baby in the womb, the immigrant, and grandma in a hospice, and that it protects a healthcare provider's right to follow his/her own conscience.
This is what the President says he wants; this is what we bishops say we want.
Bishop Thomas Tobin, Representative Kennedy's bishop, has a good point: Mr. Kennedy owes us an apology.
I'll repeat my action items from yesterday's post on this same issue:
- Contact Rep. Kennedy (through his press secretary email@example.com) and demand he apologize to Catholics for his ignorant and hateful comments
- Contact Bishop Tobin (through his communications director - email@example.com) and thank him for standing up for Catholics, and for the truth.

Inside Nature's Giants (9 p.m., PBS/Ch. 7): Lions and tigers - no bears, oh my.

Please Read- Big Rush On This!!
quick question-
what are the major differences between the ride society 08 version (red) and the new 09/10 version? is it worth the extra 40 bux?
also can a size 12 boot fit on the board? ( size 11-13 nitrane contraband bindings)
PLEASSSSEEEE help me here, need to order my board either tonight or tmrw.
As far as I know, not much changed.
And with a size 12 I kinda doubt it.... The Society has a fairly deep sidecut. Unless your boots have a seriously small footprint, I would recommend a midwide or a wide board.
Could get a wide DH... It's geared a little more towards all mountain riding but it's still a fun stick.
are u 100% sure that the shoe size wouldnt fit?..i wanted to get ride anthem's size 12... and i was pretty set on the society, sorta seemed like the perfect stick for me.
Each boot is different so I can't be positive.... But I would HIGHLY recommend doing your research on what width of a board your boots work with.
11-12 is the grey area on whether or not you need a wide board. And with this board having such a deep sidecut/narrow waist I personally doubt you're going to fit on it without having issues dragging your feet. You could always buy risers if you're set on this stick, but there's to many options in this world to settle and get risers imo.
Burton V-rocker
So, the society seems to be a no-go..bummer =/.. decided on the burton v rocker 159, does that sound about right? im 5'11..still growing to probably 6'0 , and about 160.. is the v rocker wide enough for size 12 boots? and also can the nitrane contrabands go on the v rocker?
wow... start off needing a quick answer on a certain question, then don't listen...
unfortunatly, people like you and me are on the cusp of mid to wide boards. the best bet is to bring your boots into a shop and get it done that way. might not save you that 40 bucks, but come one. a couple years worth of proper riding is worth it.... i hope. don't settle for an internet choice when a real life person will give you a better response.

After reading the reviews for this set as well as for its sister metric set and especially how one reviewer was able to remove the bolt off his own brake caliper, I bought this set and tried it today on my own rounded-off rear brake caliper bolt of my toyota avalon--it gripped it tightly and the bolt came right off with my torque wrench, just like the experiences of many of the other satisfied reviewers!! I am obviously very happy with the result, despite having a little difficulty getting the bolt off the socket (it eventually did come off with a vise plier, screwdriver, and hammer), and will keep this very useful set for future potential problems!!

this seems like a good product but only 3/8 drive. should be 1/2 inch. look, there's a reason the bolt head is rounded. you rounded it trying to get it out but it's stuck so you're gonna need something a little more substantial to get it loose. i was trying to remove a lug nut and broke one 3/8 ratchet and two 1/2 in. adapters when i used the breaker bar. the socket did bite in really well and stayed in one piece while my other { name brand } tools broke.

Extractor Sockets had A Great Bite On The Bolt Head. No Complaints There However It Didn't Get Bolt My Out. It Did Round Out The Head Fully But The Bolt I Was Trying To Remove Was Very Stubborn. I Am Keeping The Set And I Do Think They Worth Having Around.

See all my reviews
These work perfectly for removing damaged and rusty nuts and bolts... I do a lot of restoration work, and ALWAYS have rounded off bolt heads to deal with- these make quick work of them. I just used them today to remove a rounded off lug nut on my Bronco- It took longer to get it out of the tool box than it did to remove the nut!They seem well made, and should last. You can't beat the price, They are less than half what comparable sets are elsewhere.
Better than a tire shop
By Vic Peters
from Flint, MI
I had a lug on a wheel of my Focus that was stripped by the tire installer. When I took it back they told me they could not get it off and I would have to go to the dealer. I tried 3 different tire stores. nobody could take it off. I purchased the set and removed the nut in the parking lot on the first try. It was 11 degrees. I did have to put pressure on it and tap it with a hammer to get it to bite. But then it came off. I had to drive the nut out after but there was not any damage to the socket. Great tool. Don't know why every tire store does not have them.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
The oil pan bolt on my son's car was way over torked and the bolt head was rounded off.I just tapped the closest fitting socket on to it, and I could feel the socket biting into the bolt as I turned it. Worked great and saved me a ton of time compared to drilling it out!

Best thing since sliced bread
By JJM
from Raleigh, NC
Cousin and I (He's a pro, I'm a do-it-yourselfer), fought with a nut on a torque converter for a couple hours at my place... He finally gave in for the day and went home. I bought this set a few days later, and had the nut off in 10-15 minutes - including crawling under the car and getting out a few other tools. This set is worth it's weight in GOLD!!! Tapped it on, and the set grabbed the rounded-off corners like they were still there.
