More and more teachers and professors are creating original video content to support their flipped and blended learning approaches, and for good reason - it's never been easier.
Educators often start by converting powerpoint and keynote presentations into video resources. This is an easy way to get your feet wet and learn the basics of creating original content for your students (read our blog post for some tips). However, improving the sound and visuals you're able to capture and produce can make dramatic improvements to the overall quality of your videos.
Update (30th June 2014): We recently published an in–depth guide explaining how to create high–quality, engaging screencasts.
Key to this is having access to dedicated screen capture software and a good quality microphone. This allows you to try some more varied production techniques which can help make your videos more engaging, such as:
- Recording yourself explaining a concept can give your videos a personal touch.
- Mixing existing presentation materials with other media (relevant video and audio clips) helps to shift the pace and make the content more visually interesting.
- Adding notes and animated visual elements (like arrows and highlights) to existing materials can help highlight and emphasize content and aid explaination of concepts.
There are hundreds of apps available to help incorporate these approaches into your videos, so it can be a little daunting trying to choose the one that's right for you. Below, we've looked at a range of image and screen capture apps to help take your video projects to the next level and a couple of high quality, affordable microphones to help you record better sound.
Image and screen capture software
QuickTime X
Free and pre-installed with Mac OS, QuickTime X is one of the fastest and easiest ways to record your screen or capture video from your built in iSight camera on a Mac. Just launch the app and click File > New Screen Recording or File > New Movie Recording.
+ Easily capture video from your iSight camera, everything on your screen, or a smaller areas of content.
+ Record accompanying audio from your built-in microphone or another audio input device.
+ Show your mouse clicks in the final recording.
- QuickTime only contains basic 'trim' editing - you'll need to use a video editor such as iMovie (free) to produce more complex projects.
Techsmith's SnagIt is a free screen and image capture app for Mac and PC. With SnagIt it's easy to capture, edit and annotate still images and produce basic screen recordings.
+ Capture both video and still images.
+ Add Crop and annotation effects to still images (add arrows, graphics, text notes and filters).
+ Easily record your entire screen or smart-grab windows and smaller areas of content.
- No video trim or edit capabilities.
SnagIt's big brother: Available for Mac (Camtasia) and PC (Camtasia Studio), Camtasia is a feature-rich video editor, specifically designed around producing screencast-style videos.
+ Robust capture tools for recording your screen (entire screen or a smaller content selection).
+ Powerful and easy to use timeline-based editor makes it easy to combine existing lesson materials with screen recordings, video content, images and audio.
+ Easily add Annotations, transitions, animations and a range of effects to your projects to help illustrate concepts, highlight content and aid visual explanation.
Camtasia is feature-rich but easy to learn, and TechSmith offer some useful training materials for both Mac and PC versions.
A more cost-effective, Mac-only alternative to Camtasia, ScreenFlow is designed to help you record your screen and edit video.
+ Easily record your entire screen.
+ Timeline-based video editor with available effects, transitions and animations.
Voiceover recording
Bad sound is probably the easiest way to put students' off watching a video all the way to the end.
If you're planning on recording yourself speaking as part of producing your videos it's a good idea to get a dedicated microphone to make sure the quality of your recorded audio is up to scratch. We can personally recommend the following products:
Blue's Snowball is an affordable microphone popular with enthusiast musicians and podcasters.
+ Record much better quality audio than your PC's built-in microphone.
+ Perfectly suited to recording spoken word at home or in the office.
- Designed to record audio sources close to the microphone (ie. spoken word) - not a versatile solution for general audio recording.
Apogee's MiC combines a small, simple design with a studio-quality microphone preamp, allowing you to easily record professional quality spoken word, vocals, acoustic instruments and audio for live-action video.
+ Simple, portable and versatile design.
+ The MiC has also been designed to work with Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch products.
+ Can be used to record sound during video production (on a boom pole)
If you're serious about producing great video content for your students it's a good idea to invest some time in choosing the right software (and tools) to help create the kind(s) of videos you want to produce. You'll find that the production process gets easier and the quality of the results should speak for themselves.
Of course, once you've finished producing your videos it's time to share them! MediaCore makes it quick and easy to safely and securely share your videos with students. If you don't already have a dedicated MediaCore site then request a demo today.
We'd love to hear about what kind of content you're already creating for your students, what you have planned next and what you've learned already- send your stories to [email protected].

Americans Stay Home, and Europe Feels a Pinch
By ALAN COWELL
Published: August 18, 2002
LONDON, Aug. 17— They gather in sneakered gaggles at Buckingham Palace. They swelter in art-hungry lines at the Uffizi in Florence. With their cameras and guidebooks, the foreign tourists rubberneck the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
And, across the Continent -- from the ritziest of hotel foyers to the seediest of souvenir stalls -- Europeans lie in wait each summer to pounce on these visitors' dollars and yen and euros to chase away the winter doldrums.
But, this year, in Rome or London, Paris or Berlin, hoteliers and tour organizers say that one group of travelers is markedly underrepresented -- Americans.
Since Sept. 11, when travel across the Atlantic was briefly suspended, air traffic between North America and Western Europe has recovered only slowly. Scheduled flights are still down 13 percent from last year's levels, according to airline industry figures. In Britain, the number of American tourists is 10 percent less than in 2000 -- the last year before a combination of foot-and-mouth disease and fears of terrorism sent American and most other visitor numbers into a free fall in 2001. In France, tour operators were stunned in April to record a drop-off in American visitors of almost a third.
With stock markets sliding in the United States and economies slumbering in Continental Europe, the stemmed flow of Americans and their dollars has shown that, almost one year after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the economic impact still ripples across the globe. The slowdown in visitors from across the Atlantic was being felt even before this month's disastrous floods in Central Europe devastated tourism in centers from Salzburg, Austria, and Prague to Dresden, Germany.
But what heartens some of Europe's tour organizers is a sense of relief that Americans are beginning to return at all, and that, in some cases, where Americans have stayed home, visitors from other countries have come in their place.
''There are some green shoots beginning to show,'' said Nick Walsh, a senior manager at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England. ''Last year we were only just beginning to recover from the foot-and-mouth outbreak when Sept. 11 happened, and one thing segued into another. But, certainly, there are American accents audible again outside Shakespeare's birthplace, though still not the full number we would expect in summer.''
At the Tower of London, Jacqueline Gazzard, a spokeswoman, said that while there were fewer American visitors this year, there were more Europeans and Asians. ''Today it was Italians,'' she said. ''There were Italians everywhere. The Americans are being more careful because they haven't got as much money. I don't think it's a completely bleak picture. But it's going to be a long haul.''
At least Americans themselves have come to contemplate the possibility of traveling again.
''I've had real angst about flying since Sept. 11,' said John Peixinho, 36, a decorator from Newport, R.I., who had been planning to travel to Germany last year but canceled after the terror attacks.
''But time heals the fear,'' he said in a telephone interview from the United States. ''I wouldn't even consider a trip to Europe last fall, but maybe in a couple of months. I am thinking about Germany in the fall.''
One thing that has endured is America's reputation from the Scottish Highlands to downtown Berlin as a nation of high rollers ready to splurge on fancy accommodations.
''For the country-house type of hotel at the top end, the Americans used to be our best customers,'' said Scott Armstrong, a Scottish tourism executive, with some nostalgia. Indeed, hotels including the five-star Adlon in Berlin, next to the Brandenburg Gate, and the Plaza Athénée in Paris reported a sustained -- if slightly edgy -- revival of American business.
''All I can say is that we've noticed Americans are making more and more last-minute reservations,'' said Veronique Surrel, a spokeswoman for the Plaza Athénée. ''We don't know why. We don't know if this is linked to the economy or a fear of flying.''
In other words, whatever the political differences or trade wars between Europe and America, and however skeptically the Europeans may perceive the Bush administration's policies on issues like war with Iraq, dollars and cents tell a more nuanced story.
At the Tower of London, for instance, up to 40 percent of the more than two million visitors in recent years have been Americans. (That percentage fell to about 30 percent this year.) In Britain, even in a bad year like this one, foreign visitors spent about $7.5 billion in the first six months of the year, the British Tourist Authority said.
In Italy, where the number of American visitors was down 11 percent this year in the so-called art cities of Rome, Florence, Venice and Naples, tourism employs about two million Italians and accounts for one-twelfth of the economy, according to official figures. The slowdown in tourism could cost Italy about $2 billion in lost revenues, partly because of Japan's economic woes but also because there are fewer Americans visiting, La Stampa newspaper reported.

Solar stability and emerging markets
Emerging markets are forecast to help bring stability to ailing solar industry in Europe, with up to 12 GW of new photovoltaic (PV) capacity added in 2017 up from just 1.6 GW in 2012, according to research from IHS.
View the full-size chart. Credit:IHS.
The research found that up to 30 GW of cumulative PV capacity will be added in emerging markets over the next four years, helping to stabilize the industry amidst incentive cuts in core European markets.
Given the uncertainty of emerging solar markets, two scenarios were forecast in the research which predicted that 2.1 to 3.5 GW of new PV capacity will be added in 2013, growing to 2.9 to 12.2 GW in 2017.
The research evaluated number of criteria, including macroeconomic factors, potential market size, project profitability, near-term policy and project pipelines, and found that markets with the most potential could be South Africa, Thailand, Chile, Romania and Brazil.

Bishops' Advisory Commission on Doctrine
Parish Development Working Group
Added on 09/10/2012
The Christian faith was talked about in a 'positive and real way' as Connor Diocese did Synod differently at St Brigid's Church, Glengormley, on 4 October 2012.
Judge Derek Rodgers, Chancellor, with Synod Members Robert Buckley and Jean Glenholmes from Kilwaughter and Cairncastle with All Saints, Craigyhill, and the Bishop of Connor, the Rt Rev Alan Abernethy at Connor Diocesan Synod in St Bridgid's, Mallusk.
In a break from the norm, the formal business of the Synod was conducted prior to the evening meal. Standing orders were suspended for the second Synod session which moved Connor's Vision Strategy to the next phase by looking at how the vision can work in real situations.
Speakers included Dr Paul Coulter from Belfast Bible College and Tim Magowan from Tearfund.
A key part of the evening was interviews with a panel including the Rev William Orr, Muckamore, Killead and Gartree; the Rev Roger Cooke, St Patrick's Coleraine; and Peter Blake, St Paul's, Lisburn. They spoke about how they had re–connected with their local communities
Bishop Alan's presidential address in the earlier part of Synod was largely focused on the three strands of the Connor Vision Strategy – engaging communities, empowering ministry and effecting change.
He said the Church instead had to find more creative and imaginative ways of being church in the city, and paid tribute to 'those who have kept the faith and enabled parishes to continue in some very difficult circumstances.'
The Bishop said: "We are at a critical point in the life of the church and it is very important that we continue to seek the wisdom of God as we wrestle with the many issues facing us."
He added: "The speed of change in the last few decades has been rapid and the cultural backcloth to the mission and ministry to which we are called is very demanding."
Change would not be easy, he said. "At the same time there is the recognition that we have to do something to re–engage with many who no longer believe that the church has anything important to say or do," the Bishop added.
"Change is always painful and stretching, but when handled carefully, honestly and with consultation it can and will bring new hope and energy.
"The journey has begun and there is no blueprint for where we need to go but I hope that there is the desire to discover what it is we are being called to do and to follow. That will mean many conversations and much prayer as we journey together."
He said his role was not to tell people what to do, but to listen, encourage and enable.
Bishop Abernethy said the Church of Ireland had faced a difficult year. "The Cavan conference was a positive experience but General Synod was not so comfortable. The central issue that has caused this deep division is not resolved and we have to find more creative ways as synodical church to deal with such controversial and divisive issues," he said.
Closing Synod, Bishop Alan said: "One of the joys for me this evening was to sit and listen and to be encouraged." He added: "This is a Synod that has been talking about the things that matter."
The panel interviewed at Connor Diocesan Synod. From left: Trevor Douglas, Parish Development Officer; the Rev Roger Cooke, St Patrick's, Coleraine; The Rev William Orr, Muckamore, Killead and Gartree; Peter Blake, St Paul's, Lisburn, and the Rev Barry Forde, chaplain at QUB, who conducted the interviews.

Robert, using your Internet Strategy we launched 8 landing pages less than 4 weeks ago and 3 of them are now on Page-One of Google. I could have spent $1,500 per month as a retainer to some SEO firm that doesn't know HALF of what you do.

We were recommended to contact Robert from "On the Mark" to set up a new website. Needless to say – it's fantastic!!

The Standards
High School: Geometry
Geometric Measurement and Dimension HSG-GMD.A.3
3. Use volume formulas for cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres to solve problems.
Just about everything is in 3D nowadays. We're not saying that math is a trendsetter or anything, but these volume formulas speak for themselves.
Basically, as long as students know these formulas, what they mean, and how to use them, they should be good to go.
Students should also know that oblique solids deserve obliqual—er, equal—treatment. Cavalieri tells us that even though oblique solids are tilted, we can calculate their volumes using these same formulas. Well, he would tell us that if he were still alive.
If students need some hands on activities to really cement these formulas into their brains, you could always bring empty (and clean!) plastic containers from home. Mustard bottles, pickle jars, cake pans, or your favorite coffee mug.
Have them measure these containers and approximate their volumes using the formulas. Then, have them check their results by measuring the volume of water the containers actually hold. (Warning: your classroom may or may not become a splash zone.)

They're the Cynthiana Hookers—but in the literal sense—they like to hook rugs as a hobby.
The Cynthiana Hookers club was formed about a year ago.
Local women in the community such as Rita Glascock and Judy McKinley found out they shared a similar interest in hooking and decided to get a group together to hook.
Rug hooking is similar to crocheting in that a piece of fabric is pulled through a burlap or linen pattern with a hook to form a rug.
In March 2010, Mary June Brunker was appointed by the Kentucky Education Commissioner, Terry Holliday, to the Harrison County Board of Education to complete the term of Lucy Vanhook, who resigned in December 2009. In April she announced her intention to seek election to continue in the 2nd division seat.
Law enforcement officials continue to investigate last Thursday's US 62 West wreck that killed two drivers.
Miranda L. Walters, 30, was traveling westbound in a 2009 Toyota Camry around 5:43 a.m., when police say she struck an oncoming 2004 Toyota Corolla, driven by Matthew Herrington, 21.
According to Sheriff's Deputy Dean Hutchison, Walters crossed the center line of the highway, striking Herrington's vehicle head on.
Harrison County is set to receive $36,570,000 in road improvements over the next two years.
The state's two-year highway plan, which was adopted during the legislature's special session earlier this year, became effective July 1.
"I think this is the biggest total for our county since I've been in Frankfort," said state Rep. Tom McKee, during a telephone interview on Tuesday.
There were five fewer people on Harrison County School District's payroll in 2010 than in 2009.
According to Julie Asher, district financial officer, 673 people were paid during the fiscal year that just ended.
Kentucky law requires school districts to provide a complete listing of school salaries to the newspaper in August. The decision to print that list is left to each newspaper. The Cynthiana Democrat has for several years published school salaries as well as Cynthiana and Harrison County salaries.
The Marching Thorobreds performed at the Montgomery County Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 18, finishing in second place in the 4A classification and earning a proficient rating.
This rating qualifies the band for the regional quarterfinals of the Kentucky Music Educators Association State Marching Band Championship Series.
The Color Guard not only won the Best Color Guard award for class 4A, but it also received the highest preliminary score of all competitors.
The Georgetown woman accused of shooting her ex-husband's girlfriend on Friday afternoon is in jail.
Police charged Sandy Southwood with multiple charges, including attempted murder after she allegedly shot Amber Florence.
Florence was at the home she shares with fiance Charles Arnold on Confederate Drive when Southwood showed up shortly after 4 p.m. Friday and allegedly began firing off several shots from a 9mm handgun.
Deportation procedures are underway after one Harrison County man is arrested following a Saturday night wreck.
Alberto Lopez, 23, was traveling northbound in a 1997 Ford Contour on US 27 around 11:20 p.m., when the vehicle crossed the center line of the highway, striking a 2008 Ford Focus, driven by Kyle Caldwell, 18.
"He was struck head-on," Deputy Robert Peak said.
Caldwell, who had been traveling southbound on US 27, suffered from a leg injury and was transported to Harrison Memorial Hospital by Browns EMS. He was released later that night.
At a salary of $57,706.22 for fiscal year 2009-10, Gary Royalty, public works/utilities director, is the highest paid City of Cynthiana employee.
Cynthiana salaries were released last week through an open records request. County government salaries appeared in last week's Cynthiana Democrat and the Harrison County school district salaries were published Aug. 19.
Totals for each of the employees reflect what they will pay taxes on, which includes any overtime and incentive stipends they may have earned.
The Harrison County School Board is taking advantage of low interest rates.
"Interest rates are real low right now," Joe Nance, bond specialist for Ross, Sinclair & Associates, told the school board at its Tuesday evening meeting.
The refunding of school revenue bonds, at a new interest rate of 1.15 to 3.25 percent, would save the school district $6,400 per year for 11 years, Nance said.
The savings would total $70,405.
The previous interest rate for the set of bonds issued in 2001 was 4.7 to 5 percent.

Subjects: Ethics , Semantics and Pragmatics
This book develops in detail the simple idea that assertion is the expression of belief. In it the author puts forward a version of 'probabilistic semantics' which acknowledges that we are not perfectly rational, and which offers a significant advance in generality on theories of meaning couched in terms of truth conditions. It promises to challenge a number of entrenched and widespread views about the relations of language and mind. Part I presents a functionalist account of belief, worked through a modified form of decision theory. In Part II the author generates a theory of meaning in terms of 'assertibility conditions', whereby to know the meaning of an assertion is to know the belief it expresses.

PNG Electoral Offce fails NCD By-Election
July 11 2006 at 1:36 PM
Informal VoterMan
Over the last couple of days we have all heard about the chaos involved in the ncd by-elections. We have heard that many registered voters although enrolled did not vote because the names were simple not on the new common roll.
Inaddition, polling in many areas started very late. In some cases, polling began at 2 pm. In other areas for example, Moresby Northeast, there was no polling station at the Rev. Sioni Kami United Church when it was clearly shown to be one of the polling stations and confirmed in the national papers. Andrew has failed in his duty to ensure his people are on time and ready for polling.
Moreover, the most basic of the common was not adequately updated. It was mentioned that approximately 128000 people registered to vote. It won't be surprising half or less than half of the votes are casted and many as informal. I know of a family living in Moresby northwest electorate for last 10 years had their names in Moresby south common roll. Andrew has again failed his duty to provide a reasonable common roll.
For the PNGEC lawyer John Kongri to come out and say that the right court or forum to take this court ruling is the Court of Disputed Returns is a cope out by the PNGEC, its boss Andrew Trawen and its lawyers. It this seen as passing the buck when in reality the buck stops with Andrew Trawen to ensure elections are done fair starting from the most basic common roll, to polling and to counting.
This is the worst election or by-election ever conducted by the PNG Electoral Commission under the LPV system. The comments by Andrew Trawen that there will be hiccups is uncalled for and if he had foreseen these hiccups he should have prepared his organisation to cover as much ground as possible. It would have been honourable to make recommendation to the prime minister and parliament that pngec was not ready and that the ncd by-election not to take place at all. Instead divert the resources to get the commission geared up for 2007 general elections. He has failed in his duty to make a genuine honest recommendation to the government and the people of ncd.
Using NCD as the benchmark and NCD been one of the bigger and powerful seats in PNG politics what guarantee do we have from the PNGEC under the leadership of Andrew Trawen to give the people, voters, candidates, the private-public institutions and foreign observers that 2007 General Elections will be fair and a success???? I doubt Andrew Trawen is capable of running this institution that gives our great nation its democratic identity.

Voting irregularities throughout PNG have been getting steadily worse through the years. Yet all we do is complain after the fact, forget about it, and let the next election turn out even worse. The public ALWAYS could have demanded international observers in our elections. We never do. We get what we deserve and complaining about it after the fact achieves nothing and means nothing, because we could have predicted that all this would occur ahead of time, couldn't we?

its valid to complain because the PNGEC has never learned from its mistakes. They have 5 years to plan and they wait until the last 24months to get off their backsides and work. WHAT A DISGRACE ANDREW TRAWEN!!!!!!!

Tonight: Rowan Ricardo Phillips at McNally Jackson
November 12, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
New York: tonight at McNally Jackson, Rowan Ricardo Phillips will read his latest basketball column—so new, in fact, that I haven't even seen it yet. (If you haven't heard, Rowan is our new, and also first-ever, basketball columnist.) He appears tonight as part of the bookstore's weekly variety show, with Michael Cunningham, Billy Hough, Alex Mar, Adam Sternbergh, and Michael Robbins there to cover any and all non-basketball-related portions of the evening. The event begins at seven tonight. If you're not in New York, you can livestream it from McNally Jackson's Web site.
This Tuesday: Paul Beatty and Lorin Stein in Conversation
March 9, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
New Yorkers: join us tomorrow at McNally Jackson, where our editor Lorin Stein will appear in conversation with Paul Beatty. Paul's new novel, The Sellout, is out now; the Guardian calls it "a galvanizing satire of post-racial America," and Sam Lipsyte noted its "spectacular explosion of comic daring, cultural provocation, brilliant, hilarious prose, and genuine heart."
The event begins at seven P.M. See you there!

Notes from a Bookshop: Early Summer, or Six Months In
July 3, 2013 | by Kelly McMasters
Wear the old coat and buy the new book. —Austin Phelps
When I tell people I run a bookshop, they often respond with envy or admiration. But first, a funny look flashes across their face—sometimes fleeting, sometimes not. A look that says, Poor girl. A look that says, She must be daft.
I am not daft. It's no secret that the bookstore industry is in trouble, and, six months into this experiment, I still don't know if this dream is viable. Aside from the question of whether people will buy books or will simply use the shop to browse and then order from Amazon when they get home—or, as Michele Figlate's fantastic Center For Fiction piece flays, order from their iPhone on the spot using our free Wi-Fi—there are the more prosaic reasons I may not be cut out to run a small business, like quarterly taxes and mopping the floor. But people's love of books is not something I lose much sleep over.
I'm a romantic, but I'm also a pragmatist. I did not open Moody Road Studios and assume it would pay my home mortgage or student loan, or even for my dark chocolate habit. Like many writers, I survive by keeping a dozen lines in the water. So I write. And edit. And review. And copyedit. And teach. I love each of these things and feel fortunate to be able to do work that I love and get paid for it. And I knew that in order to open this shop, I would need to continue to do all of these things in order to make it work. I won't necessarily make money, but I can't afford to lose any money either.

Two 'Paris Review' Events Not to Be Missed
March 6, 2012 | by The Paris Review
This week, The Paris Review takes over New York!
Tonight, editor Lorin Stein will be at McNally Jackson with Sarah Manguso to discuss her new book, The Guardians: An Elegy. David Shields rhapsodized that The Guardians "is very pure and elemental, and I wanted nothing coming between me and the page." Don't let anything stand in your way, either; stoke your excitement for the discussion by reading our excerpt of the book here!
Then, on Friday, Geoff Dyer and John Jeremiah Sullivan, both contributors to our two-hundredth issue, discuss their books Zona and Pulphead at 192 Books. A man whom Zadie Smith dubbed a "national treasure" and our Southern editor in one room? We can't imagine anything better.
We hope to see you there!

Larger than News; Professional M.F.A. People
July 1, 2011 | by Lorin Stein
Hi Mr. Stein. I went to a talk you gave many months ago at McNally Jackson about The Paris Review. You said something that has stayed in my mind, especially now that President Obama has said that we will be withdrawing from Afghanistan. You said that you believe what you're doing with The Paris Review (and literature in general) was just as important as the coverage a newspaper like The New York Times gives to the wars in the Middle East. Can you explain? I see in some ways how you are making a point, but I can't help but think that literature has to weigh a little bit lower on the scale of important things, especially against war.
Yikes! I hope I didn't say that—I certainly don't think it! What I can imagine saying is that, in one person's tiny life, it is possible for art to loom larger than the news of the day. I can also imagine saying that this strikes me as a good thing. There are people the country needs to hear from regarding military strategy, and people it doesn't. I, for instance, am someone with whom there's not much point discussing troop levels.
Your question makes me think of Roberto Bolaño's comic novel The Third Reich, all about a writer who sacrifices everything—love, friends, home, job—for a board game ... a board game in which he restrategizes the entire Second World War so the Nazis will win. Writers are like that. They are, among other things, people for whom the unimportant outweighs the important. What's more (at least in Bolaño's fiction), they are people you wouldn't want to see involved in foreign policy, because they'd screw it up, or play—as often as not—for the wrong side.
What do you think of M.F.A. programs? A. R. Ammons says in his Paris Review interview that "it sometimes happens that these professional M.F.A. people are also poets, but it rarely happens." Do you agree with Ammons, or do you think these places can play a meaningful role in nurturing poets and other writers? Yours, E. M.
I think A. R. Ammons is using the word poet in a special way. Poets often do. He means there are not many great poets in writing programs. It's true: but then, there are not many great poets anywhere. That doesn't mean you can't learn something about poetry in a writing program. And most of them are nothing if not nurturing. For me the question is whether nurturing—whether being part of a caring community—makes for better work or for poems that people will actually want to read out there in the cold, hard world. For others, being part of that community is a powerful incentive to write. For these people, I think an M.F.A. makes all kinds of sense.

Today Labour are forcing a vote in the House of Commons that on the issue of the so-called 'Granny Tax', which will see millions of low and middle income pensioners across the country lose out significant amounts of money while the Tory/Lib Dem government cut taxes for the richest 1% of society.
Given that Bradford's Liberal Democrats have made a big issue on their election leaflets about the rise in pensions from the government, a rise that was entirely expected and due to it's link to inflation rather than from any majestic campaigning from the Liberals, can we expect them to come out against the granny tax and perhaps call on their Bradford Lib Dem MP, David Ward, to vote with Labour against the government's tax raid on pensioners?
I've asked Bradford East MP, David Ward if he'll be voting with Labour and will let you know the result.
Meanwhile perhaps the Lib Dem candidates in the local elections in Windhill & Wrose and Baildon particularly could make their positions known, as it's only fair that their potential constituents know their position on the Granny Tax among the number of other tax hikes George Osborne sneaked into his budget last month.
UPDATE: The Granny Tax motion was defeated by the government, no word yet on whether David Ward rebelled or not. He has not replied to my tweet.
UPDATE 2: Only one Lib Dem MP voted against the government and it wasn't David Ward. It's unclear whether Ward voted with the government or bottled it and abstained. He has still not replied to my tweet but he will have to spend the next three years explaining to his constituents why he refused to back pensioners on this issue.

J Street Responds to Santorum's Comments on West Bank
January 6th, 2012
WASHINGTON—In response to Senator Rick Santorum's comments regarding the status of the West Bank, J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami issued the following statement. "The majority of American Jews and Israelis support a two-state solution because it is the only way to ensure that Israel will not have to choose between remaining a democracy or Jewish homeland. Whether by force of ignorance or recklessness, Rick Santorum seems willing to forsake both principles to burnish his 'pro-Israel' credentials. Read More...

January 6th, 2012
By Melanie Harris, J Street Northeast Regional Director January 5th was a cold, gray day in Manchester, New Hampshire. I drove the hour from Boston to meet up with four J Street supporters from New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Together, we were on a mission: To deliver nearly 10,000 petitions to the headquarters of three Republican presidential contenders -- Gingrich, Romney, and Santorum--- in order to make it clear that pro-Israel Americans won't stand for their attempts to turn support for Israel into a political football.

To the Editor,
Sheila Marcotte voted to rescind partnership benefits for same sex couples when she was on the Eastchester town board, and she has brought that same Tea Party mentality to the county cegislature. With Rob Astorino, she has put partisan politics above serving the people who elected her, voting to cut much-needed funding for daycare and choosing to sue the federal government over the HUD ruling rather than collaborating to find a workable solution. As a result, young children and low-income families are struggling and Westchester has lost millions of dollars in federal block grants.
That's why I support Mary Jo Jacobs for county legislator. Mary Jo shares my values: She supports equality for all and she has a proven record of fighting for our most vulnerable citizens, working to improve programs for the learning disabled. Mary Jo Jacobs knows that we can keep taxes low without penalizing those in need by streamlining government and making it more efficient. What's more, she has the skills needed to make that happen, combining valuable experience from her professional background with her work as a community activist.
Mary Jo Jacobs is the best choice for District 10. She will work hard to make sure that the people of New Rochelle, Eastchester and Tuckahoe have a real voice in county government.
Barry Kramer,

Snow has covered provinces in northeast China since Saturday, affecting traffic and closing expressways in the region.
The National Meteorological Center issued a yellow alert for a blizzard at 06:00 on Sunday, forecasting heavy snow in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces.
Snow started to fall on Saturday night and continued into Sunday in Heilongjiang's provincial capital Harbin. The Heilongjiang meteorological department issued a blue alert for a blizzard on Sunday morning as the average precipitation is expected to reach five to eight millimeters.
While the snow forced the closure of three provincial expressways, it has not affected flights at Harbin Taiping International Airport as they have all been able to take off and land as normal.
About 500 snowplows and 10,000 cleaners have been dispatched to clear the snow.
The blizzard is expected to stop on Sunday night and heavy snow is expected to fall in many parts of the province on Monday.
Snow also fell in the city of Jiamusi on Saturday night, resulting in closure of the Jiamusi-Hegang Expressway. Snow removal remains crucial as the weather department has forecast heavy snow in the coming 12 hours.
Snow and low temperatures in Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province, froze the road and caused 90 percent of its expressways to close. Street cleaners worked overnight to clear the snow to ensure traffic safety.

Looters stormed Ivory Coast's national museum during the country's bloody political crisis earlier this year, plundering nearly $8.5 million worth of art including the institution's entire gold collection. Five months later, the museum's gates still open and close at the posted hours, but empty display cases gather dust. A lone set of elephant tusks sits in the dark in the museum's main exhibition room. (AP Photo/Emanuel Ekra)

A Look at Mr. Red by Dave Grob
Growing up in Cincinnati and being the grandson of German immigrants, the little guy always seemed just like a member of the family. He bespoke the city's cultural and sports history for just over a decade spanning the 1950s and 1960s. No, I am not talking about the clean shaven version Bob Howsam brought to the City in 1968, but the "Original Mr. Red" with his handlebar mustache and Turn of the Century pillbox cap. In local Cincinnati parlance he is also frequently referred to as the "Bürgermeister Man". ("Bürgermeister" is roughly the German equivalent of a mayor, not all that surprising for a ball club also referred to as the Rhinelander's).

USF2000: ZSports Signs Enerson for National Class Title Effort
ZSports is very pleased to announce young up-and-comer RC Enerson as its first driver for the 2012 edition of the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship powered by Mazda.
The highly-regarded teenager will make his series debut as one of the youngest drivers in championship history, piloting a Van Diemen Zetec in the National class.
With the goal of not only challenging for top honors in its return to full-time USF2000 Championship competition, but also continuing its proven history of helping train and develop talented young racers, ZSports has joined forces with Enerson for the upcoming 2012 season. As part of a multi-car effort - which includes an additional National class car and a Championship class entry - the soon to be 15 year-old will pilot one of the team's race-winning Van Diemen RF02 cars with Zetec power in the National class of the Mazda Road to Indy series. The Team E Racing-backed driver impressed both the ZSports crew and onlookers in his inaugural off-season test at Sebring International Raceway, highlighting the belief that the Skip Barber race winner is poised to be a USF2000 National class title contender in 2012.
"Everyone at ZSports greatly looking forward to working with RC this season," stated team principal Steve Thomson. "He showed a lot of speed and very good car control in testing, we think he is a true talent behind the wheel. The goal now is to challenge for National class wins and the series title."
"I am so excited about getting my IndyCar license and racing in the USF2000 Championship with ZSports," commented Enerson. "I think the championship is the right place for me to develop as a driver, and I am looking forward to starting my Mazda Road to Indy career with a great result in 2012. I would really like to thank my driver coach Jonatan Jorge at JJRD for his incredible help to get me to this level, and most importantly, Team E Racing."
A native, of New Port Richey, Fla., Enerson joins ZSports in the USF2000 Championship with a good deal of success behind the wheel, despite his young age. The son of Indy Lights Team E Racing owner Neil Enerson, he initially made his mark in the karting ranks, winning numerous races. Making the transition to car competition as a 12 year-old, Enerson continued his development via Skip Barber Racing and Formula 1000 testing, culminating in two Skip Barber Racing Regional wins at the age of 14.
The chase for top National class honors in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship powered by Mazda commences for Enerson and his ZSports squad on March 15-16, with Rounds One and Two as part of the prestigious 60th Annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh from Florida event. Prior to the season-opening doubleheader in central Florida, the race-winning pro F2000 team will continue to evaluate potential drivers and commence its season-long testing program. Drivers interested in competing in either the Championship or National classes of the USF2000 Championship are encouraged to contact team principal Steve Thomson. SCCA Club Racing and testing programs are also available.

"bea[u]ty and magnifficence"
"I had scarcely infixed my eyes from this pleasing object," wrote Lewis—referring to the "handsom fall,"
During his survey of the falls on June 19, Clark calculated the south end of this "pleasing object" was "N 86° W. 135 poles," or 2,227 feet upstream from the "2d great falls," or "handsom falls." Sometime in the 1880s Paris Gibson, the founder of the city of Great Falls, named it for John Colter, who was a member of Clark's survey party.1
This photo probably was taken in late 1908. To gain a sense of the scale of this waterfall, find the six workmen at right of center (pass the cursor over the image). They are building a shear dam to divert the river away from the north side of the channel so that work can begin on the intake, power house, and tailrace for the Rainbow Dam. Since 1910, when the dam was completed, Colter's Falls have been hidden from view beneath the reservoir's surface.

The stories of the Zimbabwean situation, particularly those of the urban townships of Bulawayo, are poignantly narrated through the voices of family members recounting their personal circumstances and what they perceive as the primary factors contributing to their repressed positions in the socio-economical hierarchy. Using an insider's perspective, Professor Moyo goes behind the scenes in order to dismantle the simplistic blame game which asserts that the deterioration of Zimbabwe was caused solely by the current ZANU-PF lead government. The study details the historical context and interpretations of history, which led to the much-discussed Zimbabwean political and economic crisis. Socio-economic policies that shape, and continue to shape, the complex livelihoods of the Zimbabwean people are also attributed to current and future conditions. The author argues that within the Zimbabwean situation these contributors and their counters have not encouraged the prioritization of the needs of the most vulnerable population groups, but rather, that they have a tendency to hinder their general well being by limiting fundamental resources such as access to basic necessities, freedoms, affirmation of communality and individuality. Through the narratives of the Zimbabwean people, Professor Moyo highlights some of the acute strategies they and their families have used to survive as a way to explore future policy avenues that take into account people's agentiveness (the capacity to overcome unfavorable conditions by utilizing what little resources are available), Zimbabwe's greatest asset..
