"You feel nervous and anticipation," Schwader says. "But I think those feelings are good feelings. You feel them when you do something new." »Read Full Article(1)

Junior Oilers fall to Moss Bluff
By John Burson
Sports Writer
The Eunice Junior Oilers fell behind early in Wednesday American Legion Junior Baseball contest against Moss Bluff and could never recover, leading to a 10-3 defeat in a District 7-East contest.
The Junior Oilers dropped to 2-3 in district play as a result of the loss, in a game played at home at Bobcat Field. The Junior Oilers will hit the road on Monday to face Jennings before returning home to host Crowley on Wednesday.
Moss Bluff scored a run in the first inning, then added five in the second as Eunice starter Tyler Fontenot struggled early on the mound.
Billy Sommers had a run-scoring double in the first, while Cody Rider's bases-loaded double in the second was the key hit in that inning.
Fontenot settled down to pitch shutout baseball over the next three innings, giving his team an opportunity to get back into the game. Fontenot worked five innings and scattered five hits. He walked four and fanned six.
It took Eunice until the fourth to push any runs across. Tyler Fontenot led off the inning with a single and courtesy runner Brandon Baquet advanced to second on a wild pitch.
Eunice catcher Trent Vidrine continued the inning when he was hit by a pitch and courtesy runner Jonathan Jannisse replaced him on the bases. Both runners advanced a base on yet another wild pitch. Alex Comeaux delivered a two-run single to score both runners to cut the Moss Bluff lead to 6-2.
Moss Bluff managed to get one run back in the sixth off reliever Jonathan Tucker thanks to a run-scoring single by Chance Terrell.
Eunice cut the lead to 7-3 with a run in their sixth. Comeaux opened the inning with a single and Matthew Bari was hit by a pitch to move Comeaux to second base. Zac Person grounded into a fielders' choice, with Bari being put out at second base and Comeaux advancing to third. Comeaux would score when Person stole second and catcher Matt LeBlanc committed an error on the throw.
Moss Bluff eliminated all doubt about the game's outcome by scoring three runs in the top of the seventh. The Oilers were held scoreless in the bottom of the inning.
Comeaux and Tyler Fontenot led Eunice offensively with two hits apiece.
Justin Dufrene and LeBlanc led Moss Bluff with two hits apiece.

Service Awards
Service Awards recognize employees for their years of service with the company. Individuals are recognized at 5 year increments.
Hall of Fame
Hall of Fame is an annual event in which employees are nominated and recognized for their success in demonstrating the Leadership Effectiveness Factors. Quality of work, commitment to customer service, extra effort, and overall commitment to Kemps long-term success is also considered.
Spirit of Innovation Award
Innovation awards are designed to recognize a team of individuals who have generated very significant business results through innovation. While a large part of There's Got to Be a Better Way (TGBBW) ideas are thinking about and acting on day-to-day improvements, Innovation Awards are reserved for those ideas that are a "step above" what we might expect from a team on a daily basis.
Achieving Excellence
The Achieving Excellence Award recognizes superior individual performance. High performance at Kemps means not only exceeding expectations in one's own job, but also enabling others to do the same through words and actions that are aligned with the Leadership Effectiveness Factors.
President's Award
The President's Award is given to a team or teams of individuals who, through extra effort and working well together, are able to achieve superior results for the company. The President's Awards are based upon three criteria: difficulty of the task, excellence in communication, and results achieved.
TGBBW Award
TGBBW awards are designed to recognize ideas that go above and beyond incremental improvements and commonly acknowledged best practices. While a large part of TGBBW is thinking about and acting on day-to-day improvements, TGBBW awards are reserved for those ideas that are a "step above" what we might expect from someone on a daily basis.
"We work together as a family. We respect and value each other's thoughts and ideas."

BIRMINGHAM, Sep 3 (AP) - India embarrassed England in winning the fourth one-day international by nine wickets at Edgbaston on Tuesday to go into the last match with a chance to whitewash the series.
After dismissing the hosts for a pitiful 206, India openers Ajinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan mercilessly hit England's bowlers around the ground to race to the target in the 31st over.
Rahane made 106 from 100 balls, his first ODI century, and was out 24 runs from victory. Dhawan smashed 97 off 81 deliveries, as India scored 212-1.
Dhawan's 97 included the match-winning six, blasting fast bowler Harry Gurney back over his head to secure the series win at 3-0.
Rahane reached three figures when he glanced a delivery from Chris Woakes for two down to fine leg, and held his arms up and looked skyward as the crowd cheered an authoritative innings. He was removed by Gurney, caught by Alastair Cook in the covers.
"It feels really special but I am really happy for the team," Rahane, who was named man of the match, said. "The bowlers initially worked really well so credit goes to the whole team."
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni also singled out his fast bowlers. England's batsmen struggled against spin in the previous ODIs, but Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami removed England captain Cook for 9, Alex Hales for 6, and Gary Ballance for 7 between them to leave England on 23-3 after eight overs.
"They bowled in the right areas and they were quite patient," Dhoni said. "They made the job slightly easier for the spinners. It was crucial, it was important to get wickets early because that really puts pressure on the opposition. The fast bowlers worked really well."
England never recovered from those early dismissals. Joe Root and Eoin Morgan took the hosts past 100 with a fourth-wicket stand of 80, but their disciplined partnership carved out of 122 balls was spoiled when Morgan fell to Ravindra Jadeja for 32.
Root then top edged Suresh Raina to debutant Dhawal Kulkarni for 44, as England stumbled to 114-5.
Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali looked to forge another lasting partnership, but the normally aggressive Buttler failed to get going, and was trapped lbw by Shami on 11 from 37 deliveries.
Ali offered some resistance with an impressive 67 off 50 balls, including three sixes, and was the only player Cook felt played well on a forgettable day for England.
"The most frustrating thing is when you don't play anywhere near your potential," Cook said. "We have to back our beliefs and work incredibly hard. Moeen is probably the only guy that has had a really good day today. When people don't score big runs or bowl in the right places, you get punished, and that is what is happening."
When Ravichandran Ashwin bowled out Ali, England's tail was exposed, and India duly wrapped up the innings with a sense of routine.
Raina ran out Woakes on 10 with a direct hit, Jadeja struck for the second time by clean-bowling Steven Finn for 3, and Shami finished the innings when he bowled out Gurney on 3.
With the last match in the series at Headingley on Friday, India will be targeting a 4-0 whitewash.
India embarrass England in 4th ODI, take series
BIRMINGHAM, Sep 3 (AP) - India embarrassed England in winning the fourth one-day international by nine wickets at Edgbaston on Tuesday to go into the last match with a chance to whitewash the series.

Congenital myoblastoma is a rare tumor which is present at birth and usually arises from the anterior alveolar ridge in the region of the future incisor teeth. It appears as a small smooth nodule, 1 to 3 cm. in diameter, which may be sessile or polypoid and have one or more lobes. The overlying epithelium is usually intact, although in some cases ulceration of the surface has occurred. The tumor mass is nontender, firm but not hard, and increases in size very slowly. Occasionally1 more than one distinct tumor may be found arising from the alveolar process. In 1955 Pleasants and Hinds2 reported a myoblastoma involving the gingiva of the maxilla and pointed out that only 12 cases in the newborn infant had been reported to that time and only 3 of them had involved the mandible. Although this tumor is fully discussed in the writings of dentistry

When you have problems with your network and/or Internet connection, don't hesitate to use the troubleshooting wizards bundled with Windows 7 and Windows 8. They are easy to use and they can help you identify what's wrong and how to fix your problems. In this tutorial I will show how to start these network and Internet troubleshooting wizards and how to work with them in order to fix problems.
How to Find the Network & Internet Troubleshooting Wizards
One of the easiest ways to access the network and Internet troubleshooting wizards is to open the Network and Sharing Center and click or tap the "Troubleshoot problems" link.
This is how the Network and Sharing Center looks like in Windows 7.
In Windows 8, the Network and Sharing Center is a bit different. However, the "Troubleshoot problems" link can still be found at the bottom of the window.
This opens the list of Network and Internet troubleshooting wizards available in Windows.
As always, you can also use search to launch these wizards. In Windows 7, type the word "trouble" in the Start Menu search box. Then, click the Troubleshooting search result.
In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, type the word "trouble" and filter the results by Settings.
Then, tap the Troubleshooting search result.
Another way is to type the word "trouble" in the search box found on the top right of the Control Panel.
Clicking or tapping or Troubleshooting reveals the Troubleshooting window, where you find all the troubleshooting tools included in Windows.
To display the troubleshooting wizards we are interested in, click or tap Network and Internet.
You can start any of the available wizards, depending on the problem you are facing:
- Internet Connections - this wizard helps when you are connected to the network but the Internet doesn't work or you have trouble accessing particular websites;
- Shared Folders - use this wizard when you have problems accessing shared files and folders on other computers and devices from your network;
- HomeGroup - when you have problems viewing computers or shared folders that are part of the Homegroup, use this wizard;
- Network Adapter - this wizard is useful when you have problems with your wireless or network adapters. It helps with anything that is related to your network connection;
- Incoming Connections - this wizard is helpful when other computers have trouble connecting to your computer's shared files and folders;
- Connection to a Workplace Using DirectAccess - this wizard can be used when you have problems connecting to enterprise network domains. It is available only in Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 8 Enterprise.
Start the Network & Internet Troubleshooting Wizards from the Command Prompt
The network and Internet troubleshooting wizards can also be started using the Command Prompt or the Run window.
Copy and paste the following commands:
- To open the Internet Connections troubleshooting wizard -
msdt.exe -id NetworkDiagnosticsWeb;
- To open the Shared Folders troubleshooting wizard -
msdt.exe -id NetworkDiagnosticsFileShare;
- To open the HomeGroup troubleshooting wizard -
msdt.exe -id HomeGroupDiagnostic;
- To open the Network Adapter troubleshooting wizard -
msdt.exe -id NetworkDiagnosticsNetworkAdapter;
- To open the Incoming Connections troubleshooting wizard -
msdt.exe -id NetworkDiagnosticsInbound.
How to Use the Network & Internet Troubleshooting Wizards in Windows 7 & Windows 8
Each troubleshooting wizard is a bit different because it solves the specific problems it is supposed to solve. To help you understand how to use a troubleshooting wizard, I ran the Network Adapter wizard in order to understand what is wrong with the wireless network connection on my Windows 8 laptop. Using other wizards works the same way, using the same principles.
At the beginning of the troubleshooting wizard, before you press Next look for a link named Advanced.
Click or tap on it. This reveals some interesting options. For example, the Network Adapter wizard can automatically apply repairs. Check the appropriate box to enable this feature and click or tap Next.
The troubleshooting wizard detects that I have several network adapters and asks me to select the one I want to troubleshoot. In this case, I selected WiFi and pressed Next.
NOTE: The Network Adapter troubleshooting wizard displays also virtual network adapters, if you have installed virtualization software that uses such devices (e.g. VirtualBox).
The troubleshooting wizard starts the diagnostics process and displays a progress bar like the one shown below.
When it detects problems, it also tries to apply the fixes it believes are appropriate and then verifies if the problem still exists.
At the end of the whole process, the troubleshooting wizard shares details about the problem and its status.
In my case, the problem remained unfixed. The Network Adapter wizard proposes additional options via the "Explorer additional options" button. If you want to view detailed information about the problem(s) it identified and what it has done to fix things, click the small link that says "View detailed information".
To close the wizard, click or tap Close
Click on Close and you are done.
NOTE: If the troubleshooting wizard you have used hasn't detected any problems but you still have issues, you may have not used the correct wizard. In this case, try another troubleshooting wizard, which is related to the problem you are experiencing.
Troubleshooting Problems with a Wireless Network
If you have troubles connecting to wireless networks, we recommend reading the following troubleshooting guides:
- Troubleshoot Internet Connection Problems over a Wireless Network - this guide shows how to use the Windows built-in troubleshooting tools, to fix problems when connecting to wireless networks;
- Troubleshoot Wireless Network Connection Problems by Yourself - this is a step by step chart with questions and answers. Answering a series of questions takes you to the most probable root-cause and its solution;
- Fix Troublesome Wireless Connections by Removing their Profile - if you have problems with a wireless network which worked in the past, it can happen that its profile in Windows was changed or corrupted. This tutorial helps you fix problems in such scenarios.
- The Layman's Guide to Solving Wireless Network Interference Problems - an awesome guide, sharing how easy it is to fix problems generated by the signal interference, caused by other networks in your area or by other devices.
Both Windows 7 and Windows 8 provide a complete list of troubleshooting wizards which can help you identify the root cause of your networking problems. When I have an issue, I use these wizards and, in most scenarios, they are able to identify the root cause.
Even when they cannot help me fix the problems I encounter, they provide information that is valuable to technical support staff that can fix things for me.

September 17 is the 96th birthday of late President
J.R. Jayewardene :
Remembering the most dominant Lankan political figure
by Padma Edirisinghe
President J.R. Jayewardene was born in 1906 and passed away in 1996. The JRJ Centre has organised a seminar and exhibition of photographs, documents and books and other items aligned to his long life. The writer who is a co-organiser of this exhibition here reveals to the readers some obscure facts about the life of this great statesman as gleaned from these documents.
The Jayewardene family is initially of Chetty descent. The source is a Government Gazette itself issued on May 15, 1830, three months after the death of Don Adrian Jayawardena, a powerful progenitor of the Jayawardena family. The government not only publicised the death but went on to give a full account of the family history.
Here is a quote, 'The Mudaliyar (Don Adrian Wijesinghe Jayawardena) descended from a respectable family of the Chetty and merchant caste. At the early period of the Dutch possession of the country his ancestors migrated from the Coromandal coast (of India) and settled down in Colombo.'
The account goes on to narrate how two or three generations later this family intermarried with a Sinhala family named Jayawardena living in Welgama off Hanwella. After this the Chetty members soon adopted not only the Sinhala names but the Sinhala customs and ways, substantiating the 'myth of Race' for which 10,000s are killed all over the world.
This unusual eulogy of a citizen in the Government Gazette later made the Jayewardenas unpopular with the patriotic genre. The criticism also was made that the British praised Adrian jayawardena to the skies since he had helped in the capture of the king of Kandy which is almost baseless as already the king was in the hands of Ekneligoda and his retinue when the ancestors of the Bandaranaike and Jayawardena families accompanied the British contingent sent over. Actually these two had been very courteous to the King and Queens.
The Jayawardena family were initially Christians. As the Chetty religion is not Christianity their adoption of the Anglican religion would have been motivated by the lust for top posts in the State, a tendency shared by many of the top low country families as the Bandaranaike and Soysas. Adrian Jayawardena was made Mudaliyar of Chilaw by the British and by the act of appointment 1803 was made Mudaliyar of the Guides or Thombi Mudaliyar.
The similarity of the word Thombi (current Dutch Indian term for guide) to Thambi (Moor) made his enemies ascribe Moorish origins to him as was freely done during the Kelaniya elections of 1940 & 1947. Junius Richard Jayewardene himself was baptised as a Christian for his father, E.W. Jayewardane, great grand son of Adrian Jayawardena too was a Christian. Ten children were born to E.W. by his matrimonial alliance with Agnes Helen Wijewardena and subtly as E.W. was embroiled in his law profession and politics as ward member of New Bazaar, Agnes Helen converted all the children to Buddhism except one girl who remained a Christian. Agnes Helen came from a deeply fervent Buddhist family.
In fact her mother Helena Wijewardena of Sedawatte walawwa who was also the mother of D.R. Wijewardena (founder of Lake House) was the chief benefactress of Kelaniya temple who raised the temple from the rubble into which it was decimated by the Portuguese into the grand edifice it is today. JR in addition to his mother's influence also became fascinated with Buddhism due to his extensive readings. Many are unaware that he has authored a number of books on Buddhism. Corbett Jayawardena, one of his brothers was ordained as a Buddhist monk by the name of Sedawatte Seelakkanda thera.
Brilliant student
JR was a brilliant student. He not only excelled in the varied fields as sports, drama, music, but was also the editor of the Royal College magazine and ended up as the Head Prefect. Earlier he attended Bishop's College as a Primary school child.
From Royal he went over to University College and then to Law College. The legal profession was almost a family legacy.
JR baptised Junius Richard (Junius after a paternal uncle and Richard after the maternal uncle DR) apparently hated his two names. He began to call himself Ravee. But only he called himself that. Not even his mother called him so. His friend called him Dickie. In his youth he formed a Club with political motives.
It was called the Push Cannon Club and had only four members. In a fit of patriotism he later changed its name to 'Priya sangamaya'. In all the documents issued by this Club he had signed his name as Ravee. He later mollified himself by naming his son (only child) Ravindra and called him Ravee.
At one phase of his life JR even exhibited Marxist tendencies. Perhaps this explains his helping to transport tarmacar strikes during the famous tram car strike. He had used his father's car for this purpose. The reception he got from home that night can only be imagined.
JR was a great admirer of the Indian Swaraj Movement and adored Mahathma Gandhi. He was responsible for the 'Very rash act of hanging' Gandhi's picture in the Law College library. The Ramgarh assembly of India that he attended proved a turning point in his career, making him emulate Indian freedom fighters.
It can be surmised that JR picked up his patriotism mostly from his mother, Agnes Helen. Though an old student of Musaeus College and quite fluent in English she had spoken in English only with foreigners. With her husband, children and others she always spoke in Sinhala.
The early death of his father threw the burden of shouldering the family responsibility on JR who was the eldest. One of his sisters too died at the age of six.
The family was almost doomed to face a troubled phase for E.W. had taken a huge loan to build the palatial Vaijayantha mansion (with a room for each of the ten children and a massive library) when he suddenly passed away. But JRJ's Home parliament plan and the smart way he payed off the debt thus retrieving family fortunes is too known history.
In the Kelaniya Sate Council elections his uncle, D.R. Wijewardena took the side of his opponent, Mr. E.W. Perera due to a pact made earlier. Yet JR won the Kelaniya seat.
JR was almost a fanatic collector. He collected not only his school texts and exercise books, his prize books, his trophies but later all documents relating to his foreign travels as invitations received, newspaper clippings, and even bills paid. All these can be viewed at the exhibition.
The plea he made at the San Francisco Conference for a merciful attitude to Japan (on the aftermath of the second world war) quoting Buddha's words 'Hatred ceases not by hatred but by love' earned him the eternal gratitude of Japan. A statue is said to be erected in japan in his honour while the Sri J'pura Hospital was a gift made in recognition of this service. He quoted the exact number of beds he needed, 2001.
JR's diary
JR made a diary entry in his later life giving the directions as to how his funeral should be conducted. He requested that he be cremated on the banks of the Kelani river within the sight of the site of the Kelaniya dagoba which according to legend has been sanctified by Buddha's presence. This diary entry too is on display at the exhibition. Till his death, his gracious wife Elena Bandara Rupasinghe Jayewardene stood by him, like his very shadow and went along with him thick and thin through all the vicissitudes of his long and multi faceted life.
He lived in four houses, the Grandpass Walawwa (built by Adrian Jayawardena on dowry property got from Kolombage Christofell Corea) Park House, Colombo 7, Vaijayantha Mandira and finally 'Braemer' Ward Place that he received as dowry. Weerakesari Press is housed in Grandpass Walawwa today.
JR could be dubbed the leading political figure of the 20th century. His political career spanned from 1940 to 1989 except for four years (1956-1960).

STANDARD & Poor's (S&P) said on Wednesday bank revenues in SA could be threatened by slow economic growth, high household debts and unemployment.
Sticky impairments from mostly unsecured loans could also potentially affect profits, said S&P's South African bank primary credit analyst Matthew Pirnie.
"Revenue growth will be slow in this economy for the next couple of years," he said in a joint interview in Sandton with Bernard de Longevialle, S&P's head of analytics in Europe, the Middle East and Africa region.
Mr De Longevialle said the return on equity for local banks was much higher than that of their European peers. "Their performance has been one of the most strongest in emerging markets ." Mr de Longevialle said South African banks still had some of the strongest balance sheets in emerging markets. However, they would not escape the contagion of the global economic uncertainty and the eurozone crisis.
The CEOs of the big four banks say revenues continue to grow at a modest pace although there is concern about dampened demand for secured loans, rising costs and a possible worsening of credit impairments. Also, economic uncertainty was affecting the confidence of companies, which have cash balances of more than R540bn.
Mr Pirnie said a sustained economic downturn could force banks to consider "repositioning" and restructuring poorly performing mortgage portfolios, which would affect profits. While restructuring was inevitable it did not solve the "problem of nonperforming loans".
"Unsecured lending is an issue and has been growing quite robustly. But consumer indebtedness has been going up and consumers are affected by joblessness and inflation which is edging its way up," Mr Pirnie said.
S&P also said in a new report the global banking industry was still clouded by uncertainty four years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers. "The global economic recovery remains precarious and the eurozone has fallen back into recession," the report said.
"Banks are still in restructuring mode with some on government and central bank life support, especially those in western Europe," S&P's report said.

The summary below is from the full report titled "The Quality of Medical Care Provided to Vulnerable Community-Dwelling Older Patients." It is in the 4 November 2003 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 139, pages 740-747). The authors are N.S. Wenger, D.H. Solomon, C.P. Roth, C.H. MacLean, D. Saliba, C.J. Kamberg, L.Z. Rubenstein, R.T. Young, E.M. Sloss, R. Louie, J. Adams, J.T. Chang, P.J. Venus, J.F. Schnelle, and P.G. Shekelle.
A growing proportion of Americans are older than 65 years of age and are at risk for functional decline because of health concerns that lead to increasing dependence in carrying out their daily activities. High-quality medical care might help to prevent or postpone the functional decline that often accompanies aging. However, many efforts to evaluate quality of care have focused on hospital care or general medical conditions rather than on conditions that specifically affect people older than age 65 years.
To evaluate the quality of care provided to older patients who were at risk for functional decline.
420 patients enrolled in 2 managed care organizations who reported health information indicating a risk for functional decline. Patients were 65 years of age or older, spoke English, and lived in the community as opposed to a nursing home.
The researchers used quality indicators developed for the Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders (ACOVE) project. There were 207 quality indicators that addressed 22 conditions. The quality indicators focused on medical conditions that are common in this age group (such as congestive heart failure and diabetes) and on geriatric syndromes that can have a substantial influence on people's ability to care for themselves (such as falls or incontinence). Quality indicators are statements about what should happen in the course of care for specific patients, such as, "ALL vulnerable elders should have documentation of the presence or absence of urinary incontinence during an initial doctor visit." The researchers reviewed patients' medical records and interviewed patients or their caregivers to obtain information about each of the quality indicators relevant to each patient. They then examined how often and in what types of situations care met the quality standards.
Quality of care varied substantially by condition, being worst for end-of-life care and best for stroke. Care aimed at treating an illness was more likely to meet quality indicator standards than care aimed at follow-up, diagnosis, or prevention. Quality of care was better for general medical conditions (such as heart disease or diabetes) than for common geriatric conditions (such as memory problems or falls).
The results might not apply to other care settings. The study relied heavily on medical records, which were not available for some patients and possibly incomplete for others.
Patients older than age 65 years are likely not to receive care that meets quality standards for several geriatric concerns. We need to develop ways to ensure high-quality care for common conditions that may have a large negative impact on the functional status of older patients.

Red Rose tail intact at Trent Bridge
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
Lancashire last-wicket pair Kyle Hogg and Simon Kerrigan carried their bats through a drastically reduced third day of the LV= County Championship clash with Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge where rain and bad light restricted play to 12.5 overs.
The duo were unbeaten on 44 and 22 respectively and had put on 70 by the close as the County Champions reached 321 for nine, 29 runs short of a fourth batting bonus point having serenely collected their third.
The final day is likely to be given over to further points chasing as two days of inclement weather have left little prospect of a result unless both sides can agree on declarations and a contrived run chase.
Nottinghamshire seamer Andre Adams, who completed a five-wicket haul yesterday having claimed match figures of 10-50 in last month's victory over the same opponents at Old Trafford, limped off the field after going over on his right ankle in delivery stride just four balls into his spell.
Indications from the home side's management suggest the damage is not too severe.
Lancashire resumed on 272 for nine as the hosts sought a quick final breakthrough with the second new ball.
But the expected movement through the air or off the pitch failed to materialise for Harry Gurney, Andy Carter and Paul Franks as Hogg and Kerrigan proceeded at a brisk rate.
Both played with increasing confidence and left-hander Hogg was particularly comfortable, dispatching Carter to the boundary in successive overs.
Kerrigan more than doubled his aggregate total of runs for a season in which he been dismissed for ducks on three occasions and twice more failed to contribute a score as the not out batsman.

Posted on 05/02/2011 11:30:44 AM PDT by Justaham
The Obama administration has photographs of Osama bin Ladens dead body and officials are debating what to do with them and whether they should be released to the public, officials tell ABC News.
Theres no doubt its him, says a US official who has seen the pictures and also reminds us that OBL was 64.
The argument for releasing them: to ensure that the public knows and can appreciate that he's dead. There is of course skepticism throughout the world that the US government claim that it killed bin Laden is true.
The argument against releasing the pictures: theyre gruesome. He has a massive head wound above his left eye where he took bullet, with brains and blood visible.
In July 2003, the US government released photographs of Saddam Husseins dead sons Uday and Qusay Hussain but not until after theyd been touched up by a mortician, making them look not quite real.
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.abcnews.com ...
Why does this administration have such a problem with releasing key, absolutely essential information?
These photos have to be released, and they need to be released soon.
It's hard to release what doesn't exist.
Osama has probably shrunk a bit...and I think it was at night. He would be 6-3 at the most.
Show the pictures.
I remember the Uday and Qusay pics were released to show proof.
They're being photoshopped by the same person who did the birth certificate.
We may go from Obama Birthers, to Osama Deathers.
They faked election results
They faked birth certificates
They faked a raid on a home in Pakistan
They will fake pictures of a dead OBL
They need to show those photos. Of course bammy and his bunch will play this out for a while.
What rubbish. They can release the photos with a warning about their grisly nature. But these photos are essential to bringing closure to the world about OBL's fate.
Obama needs to understand that his credibility is always suspect, and that failure to provide these photos will always encourage speculation — particularly among global jihadists — that the US is playing tricks.
Quit wasting time and release them. We are all grown up, idiots.
Why are they even thinking about it?? Release the damn pictures. Such a bunch of as******.
Well, then that's enough for me. /sarc.
Supposedly Obama ordered to stop the bombing of said compound since March, so we can bring home evidence.
How does that jive with the current coy action?
I believe they cleaned the boys up first. Nevertheless, we were denied nothing by the Bush administration.
Pretty sure Osama's hut was the target of that Chinese missile that was launched near Catalina.:)
Hell, you already splattered his brains all over his fine a$$ bedroom set.
Hell, you've already thrown his body in the sea to be chum. Hopefully some swabbie threw in a pork chop for good measure.
What are they afraid of?
Enflaming the "Arab Street"?
Who Cares!
(Let them hate so long as they fear.)
Most of us saw some pretty gruesome photographs after 911. I think we can handle it.
Bush kept the people informed every step of the way. Obama plays games.
As someone else posted on another thread elsewhere, I too find it strange how when Saddam was found, there were pics galore of his hiding place and capture, all the way up to a video of his hanging.
But with Osama, only Obama has the picture? That's too odd for me...
What the HECK does his height have to do with it?? What am I missing?
Why is there a debate??
The age of the internet does not allow for keeping this stuff under the rug.
No photos leads to suspicion, speculation, and then conspiracy.
The "A-rab Street" will no doubt jump at the opportunity to call our bluff with bluster. People at home will then wonder what is the deal, and then all heck breaks loose.
Any presented evidence for his death will simply be taken as confirmation that the conspiracy goes even deeper than originally thought.
Hey we do have to respect the presidents religion after all.
I would have liked to see the body. Pictures, especially digital pictures, aren't enough. Now I didn't personally know Osama, but how many tall bearded Arab guys with big noses, wearing white robes, and escorted by armed men, have we already killed?
How convenient.
release the photos of the islamic ceremony will they seeing as obama was more intent on granting islamic law to UBL.
that makes my frigging blood boil, oabma gives him a muslims send off while American bodies lay their rotting
They can release the out takes from the moon landing too.
Last night FOX said it had pictures but wouldn't be releasing them because of the gruesomeness. But that was shortly before they came out and said the picture on the web was a fake so I suspect FOX had that picture and not the real deal. IIRC, Hussein's sons had been cleaned up a bit so they would be more recognizable. It's possible pictures were taken of OBL after his religious washing in preps for the sea dumping. However, with this administration, I take everything with a 5 pound bag of salt.
OBL was the ONLY muslim who was 6'4"!!!!!!
Didn't you know that?!
There is a photo of the dead Osama on www.blogdelnarco.com now. It sure looks like him with a bullet through the left eye. The text is in Spanish.
It is unusual to b e that tall in certain parts of the world. I read he was shot above the left eye, and brains are visible.
Sounds like the head shot will suffice
Would you really believe faked pictures of a faked death released by a fake president?
It's all a big ruse to give Obama political cover and give Osama, if he is still alive, cover from being pursued by US forces.
For all we know, Osama could be living large on an Obama family compound in Kenya, Indonesia or even Hawaii.
Based upon the the conspiracy nuts here and elsewhere I say release them. And no .PDF copies.
Being a sissy pregnant girl I sure do not want to see them. But I want everyone ELSE (not kids) to see them! I want you of strong constitutions to all become convinced it's true, and tell me! Show the pics but show them carefully. Graphic warnings, etc.
It's amazing what some people will believe a government is capable of doing, even after they've visited the cluster-f**k that is ANY US post office. It's positively the definition of cognitive dissonance.
Thanks for that comma.
I saw that photo on Gateway pundit last week. It is shopped
That is the 8 mo old photoshopped photo.
The whole thing smelled fishy last night when within minutes of the press announcement there were thousands of young males in front of the White House, complete with flags and posters.
Slams head on keyboard. ;)
Still wondering what it has to do w/the RELEASE of the photo... But hey.
WAIT! I GOT IT! The Seals were to hold the body UP for said picture and we have no Seals over 6'!
/HEAVY sarcasm
Obama is only 6'1". 3 inches less muslim than Osama.
Do you think I enjoy being a conspiracy nut? Release the damn photos.

I am unable to get Solaris dbx to follow a child process after a
simple call to fork(). I have tried all manor of combinations of
setting follow_child modes without success.
I am using version 5.8 of solaris and Sun Dbx Debugger 7.2 2004/02/18
in SunStudio8
It would be helpful if someone can tell me if Im doing something
wrong or If I have unrealistic expectations of dbx.
I have the following simple program m.cc which crates a simple object
then forks a process and prints which process the current execution is
I think I should be able to easily step through both execution paths
using dbx.
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
class Ptr
Ptr(double d) : mydouble(new double(d))
printf("made double %lf at address %p\n", *mydouble,
printf("deleting double in %lf in pid %d at address %p\n",
*mydouble, getpid(), mydouble);
delete mydouble;
mydouble = 0;
double* mydouble;
int main (void) {
pid_t p;
Ptr x(42);
printf("Original program, pid=%d\n", getpid());
p = fork();
if (p == 0) {
printf("In child process, pid=%d, ppid=%d\n",
getpid(), getppid());
} else {
printf("In parent, pid=%d, fork returned=%d\n",
getpid(), p);
printf("about to destroy in %d\n",getpid());
Which is build with this makefile command
CC m.cc -o ptest -g -mt lpthread
I dont think all of these flags are required, but I have tried
various options here to make the dbx work.
I use SunStudio8 to debug the program, putting a break point on the
If I set the follow_fork_mode to parent. I can set through the parent
process. This works ok.
If I set follow_fork_mode to to child, I cannot step into the child
process. After the fork dbx displays the message : dbx: warning:
stepping up to a function with srcline info.
It appers that dbx does not step into the child process as if I do a
where l, it shows it is still in the fork.
(dbx) where -
[1] libthread.so.1:__fork(0x2bdd, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0), at
[2] libthread.so.1:_fork(0xff31d668, 0xff31d660, 0xff31d678,
0xff31c000, 0x281e0, 0xcc), at 0xff307a20
=>[3] ptest:main(), line 30 in "m.cc
Trying to step or continue at this point makes the program run on
until its completed. This applies even if there is a breakpoint in the
childs path and the setting that child inherits parents breakpoints
is on. Looking at the output of the program in the console, the child
route does not get executed (e.g. displayed). Its as if the child just
terminates or the output is lost.
If I set the follow_fork_mode to both then I am asked which path to
follow but neither of them work. They just do the same as the child
process above.
I think this should work. I should be able to set a breakpoint in the
childs path and have dbx break at that point in the child, or just
set into the child after the fork.
Any help appreciated.

We provide new two-variable fits describing the variability of the Haser scale lengths of CN and its parent molecules. As in our previous reports on this subject we use the heliocentric distance and the 10.7-cm solar radio flux as independent variables. Such description reduces the error bars and avoids the systematic behavior observed in the residuals of the one-variable fits with only the heliocentric distance. The data for the CN parent scale length include 56 reported values from different comets over a period of two solar cycles. On that basis, using the connection between true and Haser scale lengths, we discuss the possible CN parents HCN and C2N2. These two molecules have been separately highlighted in different papers as the most probable candidates for a major CN parent. Our two-variable fit implies a brightness distribution of CN which may be explained under the assumption that the C2N2 molecule is the single CN parent.

Bob Wilber (born 15 March 1928) is an internationally recognized American jazz clarinetist, saxophonist and band leader living in Chipping Campden, England. Although his scope covers a wide range of jazz, Wilber has been a dedicated advocate of classic styles, working throughout his career to present traditional jazz pieces in a contemporary manner. He played with many distinguished jazz leaders in the 1950s and 1960s, including Bobby Hackett, Benny Goodman, Sidney Bechet, Jack Teagarden and Eddie Condon. In the late 1960s, he was an original member of the World's Greatest Jazz Band, and in the early 70s, of Soprano Summit, a band which gained wide attention. In the late 1970s, he formed the Bechet Legacy Band and remains an active player, composer, and teacher.
Wilber was active in jazz education, including working as director of the Smithsonian Jazz Repertory Ensemble. He has written for films, including The Cotton Club. In his autobiography, Music Was Not Enough, he recounts his privileged childhood, pivotal meeting with his mentor, Sidney Bechet in 1946, and subsequent struggles as a musician in the 1950s and 1960s.
Early life[edit]
Robert Sage Wilber, a "superb soprano saxophonist, a classic clarinetist, a gifted arranger and composer, and an invaluable preserver and enhancer of jazz tradition," was born in New York City on March 15, 1928.[1]:45 Robert "Bob" Wilber grew up in a musical household and first became interested in jazz when, at the age of three, his father brought home the original Victor recording of Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo." In 1935, Wilber moved to Scarsdale, NY and at the age of thirteen he began formal clarinet study under his first teacher: clarinetist Willard Briggs.[1]:46 At that time, he began listening to jazz from New Orleans, Kansas City, and Chicago by such greats as Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Eddie Condon, and Frank Teschemacher. Wilber began playing jazz in high school and with his jazz-loving friends formed a "hot club," listening and jamming to records.
Bob Wilber graduated from high school in 1945. While his parents wanted him to pursue the "Ivy League route," Bob was set on becoming a musician. Bob attempted to further his education and compromise with his parents by attending the Eastman School in Rochester, NY in the fall of 1945.[1]:47 However, after one term at the Eastman School, Bob decided to drop out and move back to the city, to "hang out on Fifty-second Street and in the Village."[1]:47
Bob Wilber's Wildcats[edit]
In 1945, Wilber moved to New York City and soon formed his own band, the Wildcats, which included pianist Dick Wellstood and trombonist Ed Hubble. The Wildcats were the first jazz group in New York to "do what Lu Watters and Turk Murphy had been doing on the Coast – playing the music of the Hot Five and the Red Hot Peppers and the Creole Jazz Band."[1]:47 The group performed regularly at Jimmy Ryan's club over the next two years, and was recorded in 1947 by Ramp-art Records.[2] Over the next few years, Wilber played and recorded with some of the best traditional jazz musicians of the era. Among them were Muggsy Spanier, Baby Dodds, Danny Barker, Bud Freeman, Pee Wee Russell, George Wettling, Jimmy McPartland, Wild Bill Davison, and James P. Johnson.[3]
The Sidney Bechet Connection[edit]
The legendary Sidney Bechet, one of the most accomplished and influential musicians of the post World War I period, played the clarinet and soprano saxophone. Viewed by many as the best clarinetist of his time, Bechet's primary instrument eventually became the soprano saxophone. In 1944, Bob Wilber had become fascinated with Sidney Bechet's sound on soprano saxophone and later that year, when Wilber was sixteen, he was introduced to Bechet through Mezz Mezzrow. Wilber then found out there was an opening for a pupil out at Bechet's house in Brooklyn and so Wilber became a "Bechet pupil."[4] In the spring of 1945, Wilber began studying both clarinet and soprano saxophone under Bechet and eventually lived with him for several months. Wilber often sat in with Bechet at Jimmy Ryan's and they often performed duets. In 1948, Bechet sent Wilber to Nice, France in his absence to perform at the first-ever jazz festival.[1]:48–49 At the festival, Wilber's group shared the bill with Louis Armstrong and his Allstars. Wilber recorded for Columbia, Commodore, and the Circle label with Bechet and with his own group in the late 1940s.[5] With Bechet's guidance, Wilber was on the road to becoming a skilled musician of both the clarinet and soprano saxophone and developing his own unique style.
Boston Era[edit]
In 1948, Bob Wilber formed a trio to play at intermissions at the Savoy Café in Boston. The trio featured traditional New Orleans-style jazz. Eventually, Wilber expanded the band to a sextet and was booked as the main attraction: Bob Wilber and the Dixieland Band. This group featured Wilber on clarinet and soprano sax, Henry Goodwin on trumpet, Jimmy Archey on trombone, Dick Wellstood on piano, Johnny Fields on bass, and Tommy Benford on drums.[6] Wilber gained a strong following in Boston and the Savoy gig lasted through the better part of 1949. The Savoy also led to other opportunities to play in the New York City area through 1950, most notably at Jimmy Ryan's and the Stuyvesant Hotel.

SALEM - City Councilman Rick Drummond said he'll host a meeting later this month to discuss ideas for a community-driven skateboard park.
He made it clear, though, that a project would need to be self-funded and self-maintained by the users.
The skateboard park topic came up at a recent city council meeting when a woman questioned what kids can do in Salem and asked about a skateboard park. The Parks Committee of city council, led by Drummond, discussed the topic Thursday night.
If a group of people came forward and members of the community worked together for a skateboard park they would take care of themselves, he said he didn't think the city would have a problem with that.
Anyone interested in stepping forward can contact Drummond at his council-dedicated number at 330-277-5668. He said he'll schedule the meeting for the end of June.
The city had a skateboard park area at one time at Waterworth Memorial Park, but it only lasted about 10 months, according to Parks Director Steve Faber.
"The short story is it became a nuisance," he said.
The skateboarding area had been located near homes near the playground and the duck pond. He estimated the police department received 73 calls to the skateboard park in 56 days. He said there were issues with the neighborhood and noted it was built more like a competitive type of skateboarding park, which was different than what the kids were used to on the streets. There was also an issue with bicycles vs. skateboards.
When asked by committee member Councilman Jeff Cushman what the parks position would be in regard to a skateboard park, Faber deferred to the city Parks Commission, saying he can't speak for them, but he thought they would listen. When asked by Drummond if he would consider having another one in the previous location, Faber said "absolutely not."
Faber suggested putting it "right around here," referring to city hall.
Drummond said for the idea of a skateboard park to move forward, they would need residents to work together and those wanting the park to become involved. He said the most successful parks are the ones controlled and maintained by the users.
Councilman Clyde Brown, who attended the meeting but isn't on the committee, talked about a previous effort by a resident to resurrect a skateboard park and the time and commitment put into it. He said there are skateboard parks in a lot of places and they all have one policy: take care of it or lose it.
"These kids need something," he said. "You want to keep them in Salem? Give them something to do."
He said they owed it to the kids to give it some consideration.
City resident Scott Cahill said he agreed with Brown and has talked with some of the young men who paint on the graffiti wall and do skateboarding and hears frustration from them. He said they felt like the skateboard park was given to them and then taken away because of what a few did. He said he would do anything he can do to assist.
In a matter pertaining to the graffiti wall at Waterworth Memorial Park, Drummond said he'll be happy to facilitate a community meeting regarding finding more opportunities for street artists to use their talents.
Drummond said an issue was raised concerning the size of the graffiti wall at the park, with questions about whether it can be expanded or even have one put in another one of the parks to give the artists more space to display their work.
Faber said it could be expanded and that's something the parks personnel had discussed but had not had the time to do. He said the parks commission wasn't approached about it when it was put up - it was done internally using material donated by Councilman Brian Whitehill.
Councilman Jeff Cushman, a member of the committee, said he was disappointed the wall was tucked away behind the maintenance building, but was impressed with the quality of the artwork. He asked if it had been considered to put one at Centennial and offered to donate material to expand the one at Waterworth.
Faber said the location makes a difference, explaining it was near the maintenance building so there could be some supervision. He said they could double the size to start, but said it should be brought before the Parks Commission.
City resident Lisa Cahill said she was happy they were considering the topic and talking about doubling the size, but said the location is a bit of an issue, saying the street artists would like their work to be seen.
She suggested maybe working with building owners along the alleys downtown where material could be mounted and the artists could create some artwork in the alleys and "make it almost an alley gallery."
Drummond said that could be another community-driven project. He said he'll be happy to set up the meeting regarding street art if there's interest, also later this month.
The meeting dates will be announced once they're established.


text: Rasputina, God and evolution can absolutely co-exist. I find it terribly frustrating when people act as if believing in a God negates a belief in natural selection and evolutionary change. It is bizarre to me to pick and choose through the Bible which parts will be taken verbatim and which with a grain of salt. If you don't believe that I should head next door and stone my neighbors to death for wearing cloth of mixed fibers or that it's Ok for me to have slaves (as long as they aren't Canadian or Mexican) and you think it's OK for people to get divorced...why take Genesis (Old Testament) as, well, the gospel?

The four students in adjunct professor Joe Perrone's "Advertising Campaigns" class worked this summer to sell a piece of the future.
They created a full campaign for a new model of Tesla, the electric car that's causing some nervous shudders around the automotive industry, slated to be released in 2016. It will be the next offering from the company that made its electric sedan available to the masses in 2009.
Students Chris Hutton, Alex Lynn, Meaghan Stuski and Hershey Walton spent the first summer session identifying the brand's strengths and weaknesses and devised tactics to garner the public's interest so the Tesla will end up in more American driveways. It's the first time this type of work has been done for Tesla; the company has never hired an ad agency, Perrone said.
He selected the Tesla brand because of its pervasiveness in the news.
"It's everywhere. Every channel that you turn to," Perrone said. "If we're going to talk about it, let's get to know a little bit more about the company."
Working a couple of years in advance of the scheduled release date presented its own share of challenges, since the students had to consider how our perception of this technology will evolve and what Tesla's competitors might have on deck.
After weeks of research, including a visit to the Tesla showroom in King of Prussia, the students presented their ideas to a panel of judges that included Dana Saewitz, interim chair of the Advertising Department and small tech business owner Mike Inskeep.
Lynn called the Tesla "the case student that future cars will be based on."
Making a splash in Times Square
They planned a huge launch event in Times Square that would be broadcast live in cities around the world. Their television commercial, led by the star power of environmentalist and Tesla owner Leonardo DiCaprio, shows how the electric car can fit into the lifestyle we're all leading by showing a series of people plugging in all types of devices commonly used in daily life. It ends with DiCaprio unplugging his Tesla.
Saewitz thought their commercial's concept was a clever to show that the electric car can fit into a customer's lifestyle.
"People view electric cars as very complex and scary proposition because it's so foreign to us. We're used to plugging in all of the devices that are important to our lives, so this is just one more device," she said.
Following the formal presentation, the students and judges dove deeper into their proposal, with the judges offering advice on aspects of their campaign and their presentation.
"What I liked most was collecting the information and delivering as well as creating the spots for the campaign," Hutton said. "I enjoyed the judges giving their insight on the campaign presentation. I feel as though I can utilize their informational feedback, as well as my skills, to better myself overall in this field."
Saewitz said advertising students will work on a full campaign in their "Introduction to Advertising" class, but in this advanced class, the capstone of the department, "the expectation is that the campaign is on a near-professional level." The final project encompasses research, strategic planning, transitional media plans, social media and public relations for real brands that have included Comcast, Tastykake, the Boys and Girls Club and Campbell's Soup. The hope is that the client will take some of the class's ideas and put them into action.
"If they graduate and go on to work in advertising, this is exactly what they'll be doing," Saewitz said. "It's a very realistic mirror of what they will encounter when they enter the professional world."

Online Schools is at the "peak of inflated expectations" – Larry Cuban
I read a blog post by Larry Cuban talking about the hype of online learning especially at high school level and what drives the hype. He referred to the news coming from Stanford University where the Stanford Online High School graduated 30 seniors this year.
What struck me was the explanation of the hype cycle and the causes. Many have commented on his post and as expected there are many who are not fully convinced on the promises of such technological innovation and radical changes to the teaching and learning.
As a classroom teacher, I feel like taking the side of the teachers but as a technology enthusiast and learning sciences researchers I am somewhat convinced that technology can make a difference and teachers need to learn to live with it. That being said, I agree that teachers will and should play a vital role in the learning experiences of high school children regardless of the medium( virtual or in a physical classroom). Effective teachers should and would be able to teach with or without technology.
final post on field project
Reflections on my project:
This semester long project has been a "growing" experience for me. This project not only gave me different insight into implementing technology in higher education setting with adult learners but I also successfully mastered the Google Page Creator tool. I faced with number of difficulties including having to change the tool from new e-portfolio tool to be implemented at Lehigh to this free online tool from Google. I think this is an eye opening experience for me or anyone else who is working in this field. In reality instructional technology projects are very much like many other information technology projects and hence there are very few projects that are implemented on time and with-in the budget.
Another important learning experience for me in this project was dealing with adult learners especially student teachers. I working with student teachers is as challenging as in-service teachers. May it is something to do with the name "Teacher". As teachers most of us still feel that we should be an authoritarian and be always in control of our learning as well as classroom. Both as a technology student and teacher, I came to understand the important of trusting technology and using them like the way adolescent students would. Unless we, teachers or adults try it that way, we will always be two generations behind the technological development and instructional technology will not succeed in schools.
This project also taught me a lot about e-portfolios and this will be one of the area I will continue my research. Hopefully, after I graduate, I will be able to help the pre-service teachers in Maldives to create their online portfolios.
Comment on Classmates project:
Discusses a classmate's project that you found particularly interesting and that you'd like to learn more about. Perhaps you liked the technologies involved, or you thought the application of the technology to the learning goal was especially creative, or you thought interesting issues arose during the implementation.
I liked Tim's project because he was able to really get the teacher and students participation. Also he had the opportunity to continue with his field project and get it supported by school principal. Its is these kind of projects or endeavors that are likely to be successful and adopted in schools as there is backing from influential people in the school. According to Tim he worked on what the teacher wanted and gave her suggestion as to how other technologies will be of use for the task. I feel this is a better approach than those teachers who expect everything from technology person because teacher is also playing an important part in the project and therefore will be more likely to be motivated to work for its success.
project update: nov. 24th
I worked on the final documentation of the project over the thanksgiving break. It seems like it is not as easy as I thought when I submit the first draft. I was not very sure if I can write in first person, but writing in third person is challenge since I am trying to describe what I did for this project. The other issue I ran into was on making a decision wheather or not to write some sections such as context analysis in pont form rather than long paragraphs. As of now, I have the context analysis section in point form and I am planning to make changes to it as I add content to other sections.
I hava also created evaluation survey with nine questions on surveymonkey.com and emailed to the class and professor to get some feedback.
Also, last week I attended a meeting with Dr. Waddel and IT team leader and IT consultant for College. During the meeting we talked about the portfolio creation and how things will proceed once the new eportfolio system is in place hopefully next semester.
field project updates(Nov 12)
This past week, I was waiting to hear from the teaching intern class. Although, I didn't get any email requesting for help, I am positive that they will have some questions and need help once they start working on their portfolio Websites. As for the project documentation, I will be working with Lifang on some parts since we are working with the same class with two different approaches. I talked to Dr. Hammond about collaborating with Lifang on the project documentation and he agreed to my suggestion.
Project Updates ( Oct 29 – Nov 5th )
This week I presented Google Page Creater (GPC) during Dr. Waddel's class on Tuesday. I tried to demonstrate how to create a portfolio using GPC and I ran into some issues with browsers on my macbook. Both Firefox and Safari on my macbook didn't allow me to use some functions of GPC that requires pop-ups. So I finally demonstrated using IE 7 on windows xp which was the test environment I used before when I created the how-to document.
Unfortunately, all the students in the class on Tuesday, had already designed their portfolio's using Dreamweaver and they had more questions on how to use dreamweaver. In spite of this, I was still able to demonstrate to them how easy and useful GPC is for creating portfolio Website. Some students said they plan to re-design the entire portfolio, so I am hoping that some of them will use this tool.
Also I am hoping to assist those two students who are not in the class on Tuesday as they are my intended audience for this tool since they have not yet created portfolio Website.
Records of activities for the week (Oct 15- Oct 29 )
This week Lifang and I met Dr. Hammond at his office to test drive what we will present during next week tuesday at Dr. Waddel class. Here is what we will likely be doing on wednesday 30th October, when we meet the teaching interns at Mac Lab.
- Show everyone's Lehigh website?
- Ask: In five years, where will your portfolio be?
- Go over the rubric, ask people to score their website or that of a classmate
- Find out who is
- using Mac vs PC
- working from campus vs from home
- Organization for the session:
- FTP'ing files — everyone needs to know this
- Mac or Windows
- Understanding file location in FTP vs. file access via URL
- Google Pages — two different ways to view this (starting portfolio or moving portfolio)
- Q&A time — Dreamweaver, etc. OR Word-PDF conversions
- Review what you covered
- Provide contact info
- …set follow-up date if necessary?
Also during our meeting Dr. Hammond gave us very useful suggestions on how we should write our how 2's. Here is the first draft of document I prepared on "How to use GPC to create portfolio Website".
Reflections on pattern of use of technology
Let me start by writing how I use technology until this semester and how or what has changed during this semester.
In the past I very much enjoyed using technology to keep in touch with family and friends and use it as a library of resources for class work. I spend several hours everyday talking to my friends in MSN messanger, writing emails, reading online news papers or blogs. Even though I used technology for learning and created some online content through blogs and wikis, for me technology is good tool for social connectivity with a clear recognition that online resources are a great way to learn new things.
Since the beginning of this semester, I started using technology especially Internet differently. I came to know a number of new as well as familiar tools from our class tools presentations that persuaded me to use these tools. Also I started using some new tools for another class I am taking this semester: Bugeting, Managing and Maintaining Technology in Schools. I started contributing or publishing online more than ever through weekly blogs, wikipedia, wikibook project for class.
In addition , I started learning new tools and ways to use technology for instructional purpose from my internship at Library Technology Services(LTS). It is amazing for me ,at times to listen to, how much technological resources are available for us and how different get influenced to start using technology. Some times its a from a presentation, some times its from a one-to-one demonstration session of the tool/technology , or some other conditions that forced them to use the technology. As for me I get influenced in many different ways. For example I stated using deli.cio.us social bookmarking tool and RSS after listening to our class presentations. Also I try to test and start using any new tools/technology that I feel will be useful for me in the future.
field project podcast
Here is the podcast that gives an overview of my field project including what I have done so far.
what exactly a student does these days?
This is a fascinating video from Introduction to Cultural Anthropology class at Kansas State University, Spring 2007. It shows what exactly students do these days and how some student experiences are changing.
There are some socking findings from this study which was compiled using a Google Doc with 367 edits by 200 collaborators. Here are some of the stats from 133 students surveyed:
- "My average class size is 115."
- "18% of my teachers know my name."
- I complete 49% of the readings assigned to me. Only 26% … relative to my life
- I will read 8 books this year." "2300 web pages" "and 1281 facebook profiles"
- "I will write 42 pages for class this semester." "And over 500 pages of email
