eLearning surfs the cloud: how we got invited to VentureBeat's CloudBeat 2013
In layman's terms, cloud computing is the technology which allows people like you and I to access an online service or product which resides on the internet. Instead of it being housed in a hard drive you have in your home or workplace, it's conveniently stored on "the cloud", available at anytime and using any device that has access to the internet.
What constitutes Cloud Computing? Here are some simple examples:
A good number of everyday internet users only realized what the 'cloud' was when Dropbox came out (if you don't have an account, make sure you check it out!). Soon enough many more services would emphasize the use of the cloud later on. Something you've probably used forever on the internet – email – is essentially a picture of the cloud! You can access it anywhere, from any device and any changes you make on one device will take effect on all of them. Continue reading

Tin Can in action
Introduction to the Tin Can API:
The Tin Can API is a brand new learning technology specification that offers a simpler and more flexible way of capturing learning activities and sharing them with a variety of other systems – opening up an entire world of experiences (online and offline). A wide range of systems can now securely communicate with a simple vocabulary that captures this stream of activities.
The Tin Can API is a product of SCORM evolution – i.e. it's practically the next generation of SCORM – and it eliminates many of the old limitations and restrictions. It is suitable for use in any kind of learning including: mobile learning, simulations, virtual worlds, serious games, real-world activities, experiential learning, social learning, offline learning, and collaborative learning. For a full introduction to Tin Can and how it differs to SCORM please see this post, or read "Tin Can Demystified" by Epignosis' CTO, A. Papagelis.
How it works:
Statements are the 'substance' of the Tin Can API. Each statement corresponds to an experience that has occurred or is taking place right now. The Tin Can API uses (JSON formatted) statements containing any activity that needs to be recorded and sends them to a Learning Record Store (LRS). Each statement uses this simple form: "someone did something" or [actor]+[verb]+[object]. Continue reading

Perry County commissioner may be tied to altercationPublished 11:45pm Friday, July 12, 2013
Perry County Commission member Brett Harrison was allegedly involved in a physical altercation with a young female Wednesday, resulting in him being questioned by the Marion Police Department.
Chief of Marion Police Carlton Hogue identified the female as 22-year-old Kentory Smith. Hogue said after arriving at the scene, Harrison was brought to the Marion Police Department for questioning, but was not arrested.
"At this point our magistrate is looking at both sides of the story and has set a probable cause hearing for Aug. 8 at 4 p.m. in our municipal court," Hogue said. "It will be determined by the judge if there is probable cause to proceed [with the case]."
Perry County Magistrate Kristi Milner will hear the case.
According to Smith's sister, Ruthie Smith, the incident stemmed from an argument Smith was having with her boyfriend. After some time, Smith's boyfriend called Harrison, who is also his employer at Harrison Automotive, to the scene.
"He called the commissioner, which is his boss, to the scene of what was going on," Ruthie said. "He [Harrison] then put my sister in a choke hold, threw her in a ditch, jumped on top of her and put his knees on her."
After the altercation, Hogue said Smith went to hospital, as she is five months pregnant, but was sent home with no serious injuries.
"This altercation happened, I know that," Hogue said. "Harrison was detained and brought to the police department for questioning after that."
Harrison said Friday he would not comment on the events that occurred Wednesday after his attorney discouraged him from doing so. Harrison did admit, however, he did not understand what he was being accused of.
"There have been no warrants issued and I have no idea what I am being accused of and my attorney has advised me not to comment at this time," Harrison said.

This is a very nice retrospective of J.R. Jr.'s work. There are excellent Spider Man, Daredevil, and Iron Man stories, but I never much cared for his Punisher or Hulk works. Also included is an absolutely awful thing called Star Brand. I had a very pleasent and memorable discussion with the bookstore clerk when I was purchasing this; we debated the merits of various father-and-son comics artists.

Investments in small-sized companies may involve greater risks than in those of larger, better known companies. Returns on investments in stocks of small companies could trail the returns on investments in stocks of larger companies.Although subject to the risks of common stocks, low volatility stocks are seen as having a lower risk profile than the overall markets. However, a portfolio comprised of low volatility stocks may not produce investment exposure that has lower variability to changes in such stocks' price levels.

Natural gas infrastructure upgrades continue
Five years after TransCanada applied for a permit for its controversial Keystone XL pipeline, oil and natural gas pipeline projects are underway throughout the country.
Keystone has been delayed because U.S. State Department approval is needed for the 10 feet of pipe that would cross the border with Canada. Pipeline projects that remain entirely inside the United States need no such approval and are underway from North Dakota to the Gulf Coast and from California to New York.
While most of the industry's attention over the past five years has been focused on oil, companies still are finding new sources of natural gas and are turning to new pipes to transport that fuel from the well to the customers.
Bitterly cold weather in recent weeks has led to surging demand and rising prices, refocusing the country's attention on natural gas.
Even without this year's winter weather, domestic natural gas supplies are expected to grow 56 percent between 2012 and 2040, according the the U.S. Energy Information Administration's 2014 annual energy outlook.
Thousands of miles of pipe are needed to service that new production.
More than 2,900 miles of new natural gas pipelines with a capacity of about 22 million dekatherms per day is expected online by 2018, according to SNL Energy.
About 5.6 million dekatherms of capacity is expected to be operational by the end of this year. A dekatherm represents the amount of heat energy released from burning roughly 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas.
Another 1,773 miles of pipelines with a capacity of about 7.7 million dekatherms are planned, but without a scheduled in-service date.
Twelve natural gas pipeline projects are in advanced development or under construction, according to SNL Energy.
The second-largest on that list is the Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline, a 1 million dekatherm per day pipeline jointly owned by Tulsa-based Williams Cos. Inc. and Calgary-based Veresen Inc. that would move natural gas 230 miles across southern Oregon.
Along with new pipeline capacity, the country's natural gas industry also is adding to its storage ability.
The country's appetite for natural gas has increased steadily over the past few years, led by an increased use in electricity generation and a growing popularity as a home heating fuel, particularly in the Northeast.
About 405 dekatherms of new storage capacity is expected online by 2018, according to SNL Energy. Another 258 million dekatherms of storage capacity is planned, but does not yet have a confirmed in-service date. About 61 percent of that is considered to be in advanced development.
The country's current working storage capacity is about 4.4 billion dekatherms.
The more than 10 percent boost in storage stocks promises to allow supply and demand to grow while minimizing seasonal price swings.

A new teacher mentoring program in the Storm Lake School District will be starting soon, with approval of Storm Lake's application for four mentors close to being granted, according to Superintendent Bill Kruse.
The Iowa new teacher mentoring program is designed to help first-year teachers make the transition to the classroom by working closely with veteran educators. Funding for the program was approved last spring by the state legislature.
The Storm Lake School District already has a teacher-trainer program for all new teachers to the district, but with the new teacher mentoring program, the district will have "mentors" working specifically with teachers in their first year of teaching. This year it has four first-year teachers.
Sevond Cole, a first-year teacher at the Storm Lake Middle School, thinks the program will help him and fellow new teachers.
"Any time you're a first-year teacher the more help the better. It can be for simple things as well as big projects that I'm going to need someone - that's definitely going to help," he said.
Having graduated from Buena Vista University last December, Cole now teachers 7th grade social studies. While not familiar with all the details of the new mentoring program, he said he hopes it builds on the success of the teacher-trainer program already in place in the district.
With the teacher-trainer program, Cole and the other teachers new to the district work seasoned teachers from everyday procedures to special situations.
"For any new teacher to the district in need some type of guidance, those are the people we can go to get some help," Cole said. "So far it has been very successful - it's helped me out a great deal."
Cole found himself using the teacher-trainer program in the first few days. "You go there for everyday things, like finding where certain software is," he said.
While the district plans to maintain its teacher-trainer program for all teachers new to the district, it has applied to receive state funding for the new teacher mentoring program.
The new teacher mentoring program is part of a teacher compensation plan approved by the state legislature and signed into law by the governor earlier this year.
The legislation invests $2.4 million this year and an additional $4.8 million the following school year to fund a two-year statewide mentoring program.
The Storm Lake School District has applied to the state for funding for the new teacher mentoring program.
The Storm Lake School District has adopted a formal mentoring program and has developed a list of goals for the Beginning Teacher Mentoring and Induction Program in the district.
When Storm Lake's application is approved, the state will pay the district $1,300 per new teacher for each of the teacher's first two years. Mentors would be paid a minimum of $500 per semester, and the district can use the remaining dollars to offset other costs.
Already the district has a "teacher-trainer" program which teams up all teachers new to the district with a veteran educator.
The teacher-trainer program connects not only new teachers, but also new teachers to the district with current staff members for mentoring and adjustment to the district.
"If our mentoring plan is approved, our four new teachers will have mentors. We're trying to support both teachers new to the profession and those new to the district with the teacher-trainer program," said Assistant Superintendent Larry Parman.
Current faculty were welcomed to apply to become mentors, and all four first-year teachers in the district will have mentors. There is a special training session Saturday for the newly-selected mentors.
Storm Lake's first-year teachers look forward to the mentoring program, and note help will be appreciated with the upcoming parent-teacher conferences.
"We'll get into a lot of detailed sessions, and especially with conferences because the 7th grade does conferencing different than other grade levels," Cole said.
Cole said he was uncertain what role the teacher-trainer or mentoring programs were going to have, and was afraid they may even serve as "monitoring" programs. That is far from the case, however.
"Since we've been involved in the program it has helped tremendously," he said.
Judy Jeffrey, administrator with the Iowa Department of Education, said the program is about providing support.
"The purposes of the Beginning Teacher Mentoring and Induction Program are to promote excellence in teaching, enhance student achievement, build a supportive environment within school districts, increase the retention of promising beginning teachers, and promote the personal and professional well-being of classroom teachers," she said.

Walter J. Renken, 82, of Le Mars, died Saturday, June 25, 2005, at Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City.
Walter John Renken was born Jan. 21, 1923, on the family farm in Grant Township, Plymouth County, the son of Gareith and Reaka (Oetken) Renken. He was baptized and confirmed at Christ Lutheran Church by the Rev. F.O. Bunge. He attended country school in Grant Township. Walt was united in marriage to Edith Berkenpas on Sept. 20, 1945, by Rev.

Walter was preceded in death by his parents, Gareith and Reaka (Oetken) Renken; two brothers, Garieth and William Renken; and a sister, Luella Hoppe.
Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday at St. John's Lutheran Church, E.L.C.A., with the Rev. Gary Landsness officiating. Interment will be in Christ Lutheran Cemetery, Grant Township.

for i=1:8:height-7
for j=1:8:width-7
patch = I(i:i+7,j:j+7);

DVD "value packs": Sorry, Wal-Mart (WMT - Get Report), Target (TGT - Get Report) and Best Buy (BBY - Get Report), but you're all notorious for packaging DVD and Blu-ray discs together for a low price and not offering them separately for a proportionate price. Wal-Mart, for example, is offering a Nicholas Cage three-pack featuring the money-troubled actor's work in Con-Air, The Rock and Gone in 60 Seconds for $20. Let's say that, as a consumer, you like one or even two of the three but either own or can't stand the third film. Can you buy the discs separately for less than $7 a pop? Absolutely not, but you can get Con-Air alone for $14.

Philosophically, I knew from an early age that gold was sometimes found in trout streams. Practically however, there is a real difference from "book learnin" and actually discovering something yourself. I think the difference was something Socrates discovered about 400 years B.C.

To paraphrase Robert Frost; "Something there is that doesn't love a calf" specifically wolves, coyotes, mountain lions, and bears, just to name a few.

Predators are but one of the many obstacles that are faced daily by cattlemen

Mildred Rogers
Jamerson Rogers
Pisgah Forest - Mildred Jamerson Rogers, 85, of Pisgah Forest, NC passed away on March 15, 2013 at her residence.
She was a daughter of the late William Andrew Jamerson and Alma Jean Crowe Jamerson. She was preceded in death by her husband; Robert Clifton Rogers, two brothers; Charles and Larry Jamerson and a sister Idell Berry.
She was a native and lifelong resident of Transylvania County. She is described by her family as a homebody. She was always available for family and friends to drop by at anytime. She always had Sunday lunch ready for family and anybody that wanted to stop by. She was encouraged to move several times and her response was "How would anyone find me? I better stay put because everyone knows where I live." Her happiest times were when she had grandchildren and great grandchildren by her side. She was by far the greatest "Nanny" ever.
Having worked at several convenience stores during her life, she has met many people whom all enjoyed seeing her and talking to her. Whenever out in public people would stop her to say hello and tell her how much she was missed at Quickway. Her boss wouldn't let her retire because she was like a permanent fixture there. Customers threatened to not shop there if she wasn't working.
She is survived by four sons; Mike Rogers (Maria) of Pisgah Forest, NC, David Rogers (Beth) of Charlotte, NC, Andy Rogers of Brevard, NC and Kenneth Rogers of Atlanta, GA, one daughter; Annette Rogers of Rosman, NC, two brothers; William Jamerson of Walton, IN, and Robert L. Jamerson of Rosman, NC, six sisters; Ophelia J. Rogers of Wahalla, SC, Siva J. Rogers of Greenville, SC, Ruth J. Aiken of Rosman, NC, Shirley J. Ashe of Pisgah Forest, NC, Brenda J. Mahoney of Rosman, NC and Janet J. Ponder of Penrose, NC, grandchildren; Daniel Rogers of Pisgah Forest, NC, Jessica Rogers of Brevard, NC, Cassidy and Kennedy Rogers of Charlotte, NC, Tab Dobbins of Etowah, NC, Jared Rogers of Brevard, NC, Sabrina Dobbins of Etowah, NC, Darcy Dobbins of Sapphire, NC, Ariel Baynard of Beaufort, SC, Will Baynard of Rosman, NC, Chad and Kendra Galloway of Brevard, NC, Andrew and Shania Rogers of Brevard, NC, Taylor and Melissa Rogers of Brevard, NC, Brady Rogers of Liberty, SC, and Tanner Rogers of Brevard, NC, great grandchildren; Jayden Logan of Brevard, NC, Jimmy and Grace Gash of Etowah, NC, Cade Dobbins of Etowah, NC, Ethan Dobbins of Sapphhire, NC, Jack Bradley of Sapphire, NC, Mikayla Dobbins of Sapphire, NC, Aiden Cunningham of Sapphire, NC and Maddux Walker of Beaufort, SC and Numerous nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held 4:00 PM Thursday, March 21, 2013 at Moore Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Tommy Owen officiating. Burial will follow at Blue Ridge Gardens of Memory. The family will receive friends from 6:00PM - 8:00PM Wednesday evening at the funeral home.

Browns mailbag: Offseason priorities
By Pat McManamon
At the risk of developing a relationship with everyone in the Twitter-sphere -- admit it, it's a scary thought -- today marks the debut of the (drum roll, please) Browns Mailbag, named partly in honor of David Letterman.
Post your Browns questions on Twitter. Just send them to me
with #BrownsMail on the post. I'll sort through and find the best and give as honest an answer as I can, time and space and legalities permitting. Your tweets will be embedded in the post, so please, keep them appropriate.
This wouldn't be me if I were entirely serious, so quirky questions are welcome, provided they pass the personal taste test, standards enacted by Sir Laurence Olivier and me.
On to the first edition of the (drum roll, please) Browns Mailbag.

Jazz Setlist, April 24-30: Return of the Son of JazzApril
Thursday, April 24
Since the mid '90s, there's really been one predominant figure on the jazz piano: Brad Mehldau. "Predominant" is not to say that he's the greatest pianist going (though he's certainly up there), but certainly he's the most visible and influential of his generation. Jazz educators tell of a decade meeting legions of young piano students, all of them arriving at conservatory trying to sound like Brad Mehldau. Little surprise. Mehldau combines the sounds of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, two of the most lyrical and atmospheric (and similarly influential) piano players of the last 50 years, and blends that combination with his own heavy touch, idiosyncratic approach to composition, and refreshing interpretations of jazz standards and rock songs (most famously, his takes on the oeuvre of Radiohead). He also leads an exemplary and long-lived trio, with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballard, that works wonders. They perform at 8 p.m. at the Sixth and I Historic Synagogue, and if I have to give you the address of that one, then you wouldn't be able to find it anyway. $35.

My favorite composer in the jazz idiom (and probably any other) is Charles Mingus. Mingus had the ambitious scope of Duke Ellington, and perhaps beyond–he was completely comfortable and conversant in the longer-form, classically inspired works that Ellington sometimes struggled with. (Mingus was deeply knowledgeable in classical music, and in the beginning phase of his career was a part of what would become known as the "Third Stream" movement of composition.) But in the early days, when critics and colleagues suggested he'd pursued this music at the expense of the African-American aesthetic, he responded with swing so hard, and blues and gospel and gutbucket so deep, that the critics were silenced. (And Mingus added them to his long-form palette.) That's without taking his multicultural explorations into account. But Mingus was also a brilliant bassist, of course, and so it's fitting that another brilliant bassist—Michael Bowie—leads the week's all-star tribute to Mingus with trumpeter Thad Wilson, trombonist Paul Carr, saxophonist Paul Carr, pianist Andrew Adair, and drummer Lenny Robinson. They play beginning at 6 p.m. at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 4th and I Streets NW. $5.
Monday, April 28
It's one of the most delightful annual traditions here in D.C., beautifully timed to coincide with the end of Jazz Appreciation Month (or JazzApril) and Duke Ellington's 115th birthday on the 29th: the Calvin Jones Big Band Jazz Festival, the springtime summit of the D.C. area's university big band ensembles. Allyn Johnson directs UDC's Jazz Ensemble (for whose founder the festival is named); Fred Irby III directs the Howard University Jazz Ensemble; and Chris Vadala directs the University of Maryland Jazz Ensemble. All of them are gloriously swinging bands with a firm command of the repertoire, offering spectacular glimpses of the city's rising jazz talents (such as the remarkable Steven Garrison of the Howard ensemble). There aren't very many good reasons to sleep on this one. The Calvin Jones Big Band Jazz Festival takes place at 8 p.m. at UDC's University Auditorium-Theatre of the Arts (Building 46 West), 4200 Connecticut Avenue NW. $20.
Wednesday, April 30
It's been a busy few weeks for Nasar Abadey. The dean of D.C. jazz drummers celebrated his birthday last week in a bash at Blues Alley with his band Supernova, played a gig backing Andrew White and Bob Mintzer at the same club, and played another Supernova gig at Smalls in Manhattan. We haven't seen his chamber orchestra iteration of Supernova in quite a while, but Jason Moran wants us to. The jazz piano star and Kennedy Center artistic advisor for jazz has apparently made a special request for an International Jazz Day performance by Abadey and his 10-piece ensemble, which puts into practice the musical concept that the drummer refers to as "Multi-D" (because it is both multidirectional and multidimensional). It's wondrous music and it's being performed without even so much as a door charge. Nasar Abadey's Supernova Chamber Orchestra performs at 6 p.m. at the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, 2700 F Street NW. Free.

Jim married Gloria Faber on December 26, 1969, at St. John Catholic Church, Bancroft, and their marriage was blessed with two children, Eric and Marla. Jim was called to serve in the US Army from 1969 to 1971, and coached at Spalding Catholic High School in Granville, where his 1971 baseball team won the Fall AA State Baseball championship. From 1972 to 1977 he taught and coached at St. Edmond High School in Fort Dodge. In 1978 Jim began his college baseball coaching career at Briar Cliff College in Sioux City, where he initiated its baseball program. Among the numerous honors received during his teaching and coaching career were being named Iowa High School Baseball Coach of the Year in 1977, Iowa College Baseball Coach of the year in 1980 and being inducted in 1983 into the Iowa High School Baseball Coach's Association Hall of Fame. From 1986-1992 Jim established a second respected and winning baseball program, this time at University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. From 1992 until December 2011 when illness forced Jim to retire, he taught at the East Central and North East ISD Alternative Schools. From 2000 to 2011, he was also an adjunct instructor at UIW, teaching Dimensions of Wellness courses. Always a man to keep himself in excellent physical condition, he regularly outran and outlasted his much younger college students. He found great joy in teaching young adults how to become and stay physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually fit. Jim read constantly, knowing that learning and education were life-long pursuits.
Jim taught and lived by example his life philosophy: be positive, do your best and never give up. His acceptance of every person for who they are, his quiet integrity and his compassion for the less fortunate were part of his character readily apparent in how he lived his life. He was a gentleman and a gentle man.
Jim's greatest legacy was raising a happy and loving family. He was an exemplary and loving husband, father of two and grandfather of five. A life-long Catholic Christian, he practiced his faith and tried to live the Gospel of Jesus each day of his life. Despite his busy work schedule, Jim found time for hobbies that included, running, hiking, following the St. Louis Cardinals and the Iowa Hawkeyes, creating and maintaining a beautiful yard and koi pond, reading, traveling to historic sites, doing antique shows with his wife and spending time with his children and grandchildren.

His parents, Art and Mary Ellwanger, his Ellwanger and O'Rourke grandparents, and a niece, Nancy Loew, preceded him in death.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, November 3rd from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at Corpus Christi Church in Fort Dodge, followed by a Mass in Celebration of Jim's life at 10:30 a.m. at Corpus Christi Church.

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 660 Ti 2GB Reference Video Card Review
Unigine Heaven Benchmark
Version and / or Patch Used: 2.5
Developer Homepage: http://www.unigine.com
Product Homepage: http://unigine.com/press-releases/091022-heaven_benchmark//
New benchmark grants the power to unleash the DirectX 11 potential in the gift wrapping of impressively towering graphics capabilities. It reveals the enchanting magic of floating islands with a tiny village hidden in the cloudy skies. With the interactive mode emerging experience of exploring the intricate world is ensured within reach. Through its advanced renderer, Unigine is one of the first to set precedence in showcasing the art assets with tessellation, bringing compelling visual finesse, utilizing the technology to the full extend and exhibiting the possibilities of enriching 3D gaming.
Looking at Heaven performance we can see that compared to the GTX 580 we've got some really nice gains and against the AMD Radeon line up of cards we're sitting around HD 7950 levels with the card losing the lead it had when moving to 1920 x 1200. Compared to the GTX 670 we see that performance isn't nearly as close.

The impact of dry ice maceration (DIM) and oak cask fermentation (OCF) on characteristics of Tempranillo wines elaborated in a warm climate has been studied as an alternative procedure to traditional red winemaking (CT) to obtain highly coloured wines. Oenological and colour parameters were measured to determine the influence of these techniques on wines along the winemaking process. DIM and OCF techniques were found significantly different to CT for colour intensity and percentage of blue. Moreover, both induced easily perceptible changes in CIELAB coordinates (lower L*, higher a* and values) than CT and also affect main wine's sensory attributes (e.g. increased polyphenols extraction in DIM and to a lesser extent OCF, and therefore produced wines with higher colour than CT). Although differences tend to decrease with ageing, these practices seem feasible alternatives to improve quality characteristics of young red wines from grapes grown in warm climates.
