I think the sweater is great, if not the colors it is crochet in, then in others. I really don't that people should get away with comments like I have read. Have respect for the people around you, so that other people will have respect for you.

Environmental Scientist
Environmental scientists measure and record features of the environment and study, assess and develop methods of controlling or minimising the harmful effects of human activity on the environment.
Metallurgists research, control and develop processes that are used in extracting minerals from ore (rock) for refining metals.
Optical Mechanic
Optical mechanics make precision optical parts; grind, polish and surface prescription lenses and contact lenses; and fit lenses to spectacle frames.
Physicists study the behaviour of the physical world at the most basic level and find practical ways to apply new knowledge gained from their research in areas of science and technology.
Physicists are usually identified within three broad roles:
- theoretical physicists, who develop theories or models of how particular aspects of the world work
- experimental physicists, who test these theories, determining their limits and suggesting new approaches to them
- applied physicists, who apply these findings in practical settings, such as within industry and through the introduction of new technology.
There is interaction between all three roles and physicists generally have skills in each of these areas.

1996 Ford Contour Sedan GL 4dr Sedan
Bought used with 75,000 miles on it. Only at 80,000 miles on it. Goes in the shop at least once every month. Already put $2000 into getting it fixed. Only owned a year. THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND WILL BREAK YOU!
I bought this car in July 2013 from a friend, I'd say less than 24 hours of ownership it overheated, hose blew and split a hose and blew water pump gasket, oil pan leaks now fixed antifreeze leaks with k-seal(does wonders) rear struts are junk, pulls hard right ,poor gas mileage, erratic idle, can't loosen tensioner pulley to replace serpentine belt, THE slowest and least powerful car I've ever set foot in, my old Buick would blow the doors off this. The only positive thing is it's never broke down, only not started once from maf sensor wet, other than that I think about running it into a tree to put this useless excuse of a car out of its misery, also all windows have wiring issues
Hasn't broke down
More power, easier to maintenance, better fuel economy, my old 96 Camry had more power, and better mileage with a larger 4 cylinder engine(5sp ftw)
Like look and feel of contour,but the car drives bad in first gear,scary in traffic.Want to get rid of it A.S.A.P.
Sporty feel to the car while driveing.
Make one that drives in first gear.
Well, I started off the first year with really no issues except the air conditioning compressor blew. Well, the past 4 months have been HECK! The tranny has started to knock, the windows get stuck down, the alternator and/or starter is going, the abs light flashes, the o2 sensor blew, the hood release snapped from the cable, drive side headrest broke, and the engine stalls at stop lights. It's been a good first car,up until now, I just can't wait to upgrade!
The front seats are pretty roomy for a small car. The trunk is HUGE. Engine is pretty peppy for a small car, excellent handling.
Every cheap part put into this car. Transmission, cup holders, seats, hood release.
1996 Ford Contour Sedan SE 4dr Sedan
This car has been a nothing but trouble. Every problem requires a trip to the mechanic because the car is designed so you can't fix anything without special tools and disassembly of the entire engine. The water pump is a constant problem having to be replaced twice as well as the timing belt. Engine is continually running hot because of poorly designed coolant system. Doors creak terribly when opened. The car has terrible fuel mileage compared to its small engine and pathetic amount of power. The only plus to this car is the availability of used parts. You can find several of these cars at almost any junk yard. That is where mine is headed shortly.
Comfortable seats. Trunk space. Turning radius.
Needs a larger radiator. More engine power.

The Underfunded Pentagon
Throughout the twentieth century, U.S. military capabilities were sufficient to protect the United States and its allies. For many decades, the United States has been the global leader in military spending, and it continues to be so today. In the current fiscal year, U.S. defense outlays will total roughly $550 billion, reportedly more than the defense expenditures of the next 40 nations combined. Yet this spending is probably not enough to ensure the security of the United States -- and for something as critical as national security, even "probably enough" is inadequate. Handling the new threats facing the United States will require a significant rise in defense spending; the real questions are how much more is needed, what the new funds should be spent on, and how the money can be raised.
There are undoubtedly excesses in some parts of the defense budget and many examples of wasteful spending, but those are inherent features of any government activity. And unlike some areas of government spending where it is possible to consider privatization or a shift of responsibility to states and localities, defense must remain a federal responsibility, unchecked by the disciplining forces of competition. So one cannot expect to achieve dramatic gains from increased efficiency alone.
Deterring other great powers, such as Russia and China, will require Washington to maintain its dominance in conventional warfare and therefore at least to maintain its current level of military spending. But in addition, the United States now faces three new types of threats for which its existing military capacity is either ill suited or insufficient. First, there are relatively small regional powers, such as North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan, that can or will soon be able to strike the United States and its allies with weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Second, there are global nonstate terrorist networks, such as al Qaeda, with visions of re-creating the world order. And third, there are independent terrorists and groups motivated less by a long-term vision

In the 2002 WWE CEO Linda McMahon started the WWE brands because co-owner's Vince Mcmahon and Ric Flair could not get along. After a while Vince was able to get complete control of the WWE, but the brands remained in the Linda's control.Four years later the WWE added a new brand. To this day the WWE still does drafts to, as Vince would say"shack things up again".
Who I Think Will Get Drafted in 2009's WWE Draft
By joey ferrara ,
RAW is the brand that has been around the longest in WWE.
The athletes I think Monday Night RAW should get are:
The Undertaker—He has been on Smackdown for a very long time and has defeated every one on Friday nights. A brand change brings more victims for the Undertaker.
Triple H—Triple H has never wanted to leave the Smackdown roster. With the latest feud however, it would make no sense for him to stay on Smackdown.
MVP—WWE wants Rey Mysterio to go to Friday Night Smackdown, but seeing how he is the IC champ MVP will most likely move to RAW with the U.S. championship.
Alicia Fox—Fox is very talented but she is stuck in a brand that has no division for women or championship is pointless.
Edge—Vickie is on Raw
Jesse-If WWE wants to improve their legacy they should have Jesse go under his real name, Terry Gordy Jr.
John Cena—With Triple H bringing the WEE Championship to Raw, Cena would bring the other world title to Smackdown.
Jack Swagger—The guy has been really impressive on ECW and if WWE needs a top heel for ECW i see no one better then Jack Swagger.
Candice Michelle—Unlike Fox, Candice has been lack luster in the ring ever since returning and she belongs with the eye candy Divas on Smackdown.
John Morrison—Morrison was put on ECW to improve. He has improved and is ready big brand main event.
C.M.Punk—simple Cena vs. Punk
Goldust—Goldust has been in WWE for a long time and has never been used. John Morrison was put on ECW to improve and it did wonders for him. Image what it can do to bring back the '90s.
Festus—There is really no one that can compete with Mark Henry since he is the biggest one on ECW right now. By having Festus join ECW there is now someone can go against Mark Henry.
Mr Kennedy—When he was on RAW he got injured. When he was on Smackdown he got injured. There is a simple answer to his injury problems, put him on the easiest brand.
R Truth—Better career move for him.
Shad—He was really good in ECW as Shad the beast. Then he went to Raw as Crime Time, that ruined him in my opinion. They should put him in ECW under his old gimmick.
William Regal-Regal has been in the WWE for a long time and never had a world title run.also regal is one of those superstars that fans hate to see as champion.so on ecw it would hsve people tune in to see who would beat regal for his ecw title.also a kennedy vs regal fued that started on raw could end in ecw over the ecw title
Possible feuds for Monday Night RAW after the draft:
1. Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho
2. Edge vs. Shawn Michaels
3. MVP vs. Shawn Michaels
4. Batista vs. Triple H
5. Edge vs. Kane
Smackdown feuds:
1. John Cena vs. Jack Swagger
2. CM Punk vs. John Cena
3. Jeff Hardy vs. Rey Mysterio
4. Candice vs. Michelle Mccool
5. Punk vs. Matt Hardy
ECW feuds:
1. Mr Kennedy vs. William Regal
2. Festus vs. Mark Henry
3. Shad vs. Goldust
4. Festus vs. Goldust
5. William Regal vs. Finlay

Trending On Twitter: #BadChristianRapNames
Last night I was in a silly mood. Maybe it was because it was my birthday and I was coming face to face with my ever shortening mortality. Maybe it was because I have some really big decisions hovering over my head and I just needed a mental retreat. Whatever the reason, the sillies were alive in my head. While I had the sillies, I came up with the idea of a Christian rap name "Crawse." It made me laugh to myself and I shared it with some people around me. We all laughed and then...it hit me. "I wonder what other people would add to the discussion of something called #badchristianrapnames."

I was sittin in my chair watchin' the game when my sis come a runnin' in the house yellin'. "My horse broke his leg. What do we do?"
I don't know much about horses, so I called old uncle Jeb and he says. "The only thing you can do is shoot him"
So I got my gun and went out to the field and shot him.
Now I don't understand this shootin' horses when he's got a broken leg. Cause now he's layin' out in the field with a broken and a gunshot wound and he looks terrible. If he don't start lookin' better in a few days. I guess I'll have to shoot him again.

Now this is what we call news, my friends! Around the Dread Central offices it's an endless debate over which was better: "The Twilight Zone" or "The Outer Limits". Personally I have to side with "The Outer Limits", if only because of the sheer amount of monsters and aliens the show hurled at us with reckless abandon. Well, that and the fact that they are controlling the horizontal. They are controlling the vertical.
According to Variety MGM has hired writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan – whose credits include four of the seven Saw films along with the Feast series and The Collector – to pen a feature take on the sci-fi series that aired on ABC from 1963-65.
MGM has been in limbo for most of the past year. It received a sixth extension in mid-July on debt payments from its 140 creditors, who have given the beleaguered studio a forebearance that will expire September 15th. Around the same time as the latest extension, the Lion paid Melton and Dunstan for a feature script based on their take, which is due in October.
Good to see MGM making some strides. Honestly? It's hard to imagine a film landscape without them. That being said … BRING ON THE CREATURES! We'll take our Zanti Misfits extra-insecty please!

text: I finally got to handle one of these yesterday at my lgs and to be honest it was as good or better than the Rock Island match grade, probably the best that Rock has produced to date. The wants 669.00 for it and after handling it that seems fair. Before I pull the trigger on it does anyone who has handled one have an opinion on the quality?

"Reporters from digital outlets and niche publications now hold more seats in the U.S. Senate Press Gallery than reporters from daily newspapers do, according to a new report from Pew." Source
Social media numbers 2016
"Now in the era of 24-hour social media, with both professional and citizen journalists, more people than ever are turning to alternatives to traditional news media for their information. Some studies show that many people trust social media more than the traditional media sources."
A new study finds millenials are strong news consumers, they just take an indirect path. Instead of newspapers or digital home pages, they use social media and search as the two top avenues for finding news. Facebook is the top way of encountering news.

Reporters are being asked to do more like at this Georgia chain that eliminated its photographers. (So have have the Chicago Tribune and Sports Illustrated, to name a few). So you need to know how to avoid the cliche photo. The right photo (taken on an iPhone, edited using Instagram) can take off. And Instagram (and iPhones) are replacing fancy cameras.
The Golden Globes Instagram stunt and the great photo ideas you can have. Like @mynytimes.
The size of social media images
Jonas and Instagram. A good photo tells a story. A lot of reporters are using photos/words together in new, interesting online combinations. Or breaking news photos. Or using multiple photos to accompany a word story. Or the Washington Post's visual stories. Photos are a key role in Soundslides productions. Slideshow from Venice floods does what words cannot. NPR mixes iconic photos and words in a look back at Chicago public housing. And of course the standalone photo blog like Humans of New York and its Facebook page. Or mobile news providers like NowThis.
14 Instagram Photojournalists. See this example of Washington Post reporters using Instagram to upload photos from the campaign 2012 trail. And an AP photographer returns to Vietnam using only Instagram. Using Websta to search Instagram.
Using photos on your blog examples: You can share others photos; you can use them to illustrate your post. Photos can provide really creative posts. FYI you can embed a photo from Instagram on your beat blog.
For a little fun, the 12 most cliche photos on Instagram
Be careful of the liberties you take and the ethics behind photos.
Example Instagram pages: Purdue Exponent, Indy Star. Chicago Tribune invites participation with Theme of the Week instagram and Fayetteville Flyer (an online only publication) does, too. (This is creepy or cool?)
Flickr still has pages: U.S. Department of State.
Daily Assignment 1 (Day 2): If you don't have it already, download Instagram onto your smartphone (it's free). Same with Photo Express or Snapseed or Vintique or another editing app. Send me your account information so I can follow you.
Daily Assignment 2 (Day 2): Let's judge some of these photos people uploaded for the weeklong Instagram assignment.
Major assignment I: Using your smartphone, take photos to accompany a post to your beat blog (or to just serve as a post). Due Week 6. (This counts as one of your beat blog posts for the week). See assignment details here.
1. You must have a minimum of four photos.
Edit them using Instagram, or Photoshop Express app. (Use the best application for the job).
Then create a Wordpress slideshow. Sample 1 and Sample 2 from students (these were Flickr but you get the idea). Grade this attempt from last year with me. What about this one?
4. Don't forgot to check the grading checklist for this assignment.
Major assignment II: Using your smartphone (or camera), you must maintain a professional beat presence on Instagram for one week. See assignment details here. Due Week 7.
1. You must have a minimum of one post per day.
Edit them using Instagram.
3. Photos must be beat-related, professional and of good quality.
4. Don't forgot to check the grading checklist for this assignment.
Day 3: Taking good photos
Photo tips. (Illustrated in this awesome video). Two great articles a former student found: Disney advice on taking pictures with your cellphone and on framing. Remember to use hashtags on Instagram! The 5 types of photos that make great photos slideshows.
Infographic on photo sizes on social media
Options other than Photoshop program for editing on your computer include the free Photoshop Express Editor , the new Photoshop Fix and Pixlr and Webresizer.com and Picasa. And for those of you interested in creating GIFs. And cool apps like Colorsplash for your smartphones. And to share Report for Instagram app.
Wordpress and photos: Aligning images, resizing images and using galleries. Great use of gallery for a "job" site.
It's not just the photos. You need to pay attention to the cutlines as well.
The feature photo feature on Wordpress (changing the main image on individual posts). How photos can aid a blog post.
Let's grade those two Slideshow samples now.
Daily Assignment 1 (Day 3): Keeping in mind the photo tips we discussed in class, take two photos with your smart phone that in your view "illustrate" Purdue. These must be photos you take now, not photos you have previously taken. Sample from last semester. Edit using Instagram or Photo Express (or other app). Upload to Instagram before class. We will be discussing these in class next class period.
Day 4: Images
Let's have a look at those amazing photos you took!!
Week 6 – Facebook/Pinterest
Readings:Reporter's Guide to Multimedia Proficiency, Section 1, Reads Blogs and Use RSS, pgs. 2-3; Mashable's Facebook guide;
Day 1: Facebook
FB Newswire and Instant Articles
"About 30 percent of adults in the United States get their news on Facebook, according to a study from the Pew Research Center. The fortunes of a news site, in short, can rise or fall depending on how it performs in Facebook's News Feed." Source
When to post:
How often should a news organization post?
Facebook had some advice to media firms: Post more. Facebook worked with 29 media sites over a seven-day period recently and found a greater number of posts "frequently" increases referral traffic by more than 80%. At some point, you can overload fans with too many posts. Media properties will have to figure that out on their own. Shoot for 5-10 if a news organization.
Business/organizations not more than two, usually.
What to post:
Writing the Facebook post
Let's look at a few on NPR?
The Pew Research Center in 2015 released a 14-page report examining how people use Facebook and Twitter to consume and share news. It found more people are turning to Facebook and Twitter for news — but the report also draws an interesting distinction between the two social networks.
The report says that slightly more Twitter users reported seeing a diverse mix of news topics than Facebook users did. Of the Twitter users surveyed, 67 percent said they regularly saw at least six of 11 common categories of news, compared to 57 percent of Facebook users. Although users of both platforms saw roughly the same amount of news about science, the environment and local government, Twitter users reported seeing more news about sports, business, national news and national politics.
A study of engagement with journalists' pages reveals that incorporating personal analysis (opinion) increased sharing of posts by 20 percent. In addition to commentary or analysis, posts need to be more informal and conversational, and invite people to participate (ask questions, provide suggestions)
Remember our "Next Journalism" (service to citizens)?:
You can really really write on Facebook, too.
The types of stories that get shared most on Facebook:
More Facebook uses:
Don't forget our other uses from Day 2:
Facebook pages you need to be following: Social Media Today and Mashable
Facebook has lists, too
Some local Facebook page examples:
Other issues:
Daily Assignment 1: In class today, find an upcoming event related to your beat or an article to share (you can use last week's events/articles). Come up with a Facebook post you might make about the event if you had a professional Facebook page (i.e., you were a beat reporter for the J&C and had a Facebook page in that capacity) or you wanted to share this new information. This is NOT a link to your blog post about the event. The post must include a URL. Next, make a post touting one of your beat blog posts and link to the blog post. Take screenshots of both these posts and post them to your in-class (Tumblr) blog.
Daily Assignment 2:
In class today, find 5 new Facebook accounts you want to follow (I suggest Social Media Today and Mashable be 2 if you aren't following them already). If you want, you can create a Facebook list. Share these 5 on a post on your in-classa (Tumblr) blog. Then, on one of these accounts, find what you think is a great Facebook status. Share it via screenshot on your in-class blog. Answer these questions about it: What was its main use? Was it creative? Did it generate any comments or shares?
Day 2: Pinterest
Readings: Mashable's guide to Pinterest; Learn Pinterest (from a Pinterest page!!) Pinterest basics and beyond
As before with Twitter and Facebook, verify whose Pinterest you are actually viewing.
It's not just recipes!!!
A study from Gigya, a social login provider for many media companies, including ABC, NBC, and FOX, found that 20% of all "media/publishing"-related content shared to social networks in Q3 was shared on Pinterest. Facebook (40%) and Twitter (30%) maintained leads in the category, but Pinterest gained some ground after accounting for 18% of media and publishing shares in Q2.
Uses of Pinterest
Pinterest's article pins were big news for news organizations (so you can Pin a blog post if there is a photo in it ....)
News organization use of Pinterest

A couple more tips:
List of newspapers on Pinterest.
The Pinterest browser button
Daily Assignment 1:Let's create your Pinterest account (if you don't have one). If you need help as you get going, the Pinterest help page is just that, helpful. Download the Pinterest app to your smartphone if you want. Create a board for your beat. Put some thought into the topic. You might need a narrower topic than your overall beat. a) Pin at least 15 photos and add your own description for them. b) Find at least 5 people/accounts to follow and repin at least 1 photo. c) Add the Pin it button to your blog sharing d) Embed a pin or the board to your blog to let your followers know it's there.
Week 7-8 – Twitter & Hootsuite
Twitter Guidebook from Mashable and Steve Buttry's Expanded Twitter Tips?
Twitter Day 1:
Whose using Twitter?
Social media is still "reporting"
Journalists make up the largest category of Twitter's verified users, according to a report from Triggertrap CEO Haje Jan Kamps published on Medium.
The report, which is based on a sample of 15,000 verified Twitter accounts, shows that journalists make up nearly a quarter (24.6 percent) of the service's authenticated users. The next-largest category is sports teams and athletes (17.9 percent) followed by actors and entertainers (13.6 percent).
Although journalists make up a significant proportion of the Twitter's verified userbase, they have relatively few followers (140,000 on average) compared to their higher-profile counterparts in music (more than 1.2 million on average) and acting (more than 400,000 on average).
The report also says journalists and news organizations are the most active group on Twitter.
So Twitter has a blog, fyi.
Remember our new "getting the message out" use of social media? Detroit school teachers do. Or our "interview" use. Helps in a snow apocalypse. As does using social media to find reaction:

Let's get you a Twitter account if you don't have one.
How to write a good tweet:
What should you tweet?
Researchers found that followers rated only 36 percent of 43,000 tweets worth reading. The authors conclude with a list of "best practices" for Twitter content: "[Posters should] embed more context in tweets (and be less cryptic); add extra commentary, especially if retweeting a common news source; don't overuse hashtags and use direct messages (DMs) rather than @mentions if more appropriate; happy sentiments are valued and 'whining' is disliked, and questions should use a unique hashtag so followers can keep track of the conversation."
Source: Who Gives a Tweet?
What does the most annoying tweet look like? Watch overusing the hashtags and sharing personal, stale info. The best tweets: informative and funny.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Jay Rosen's types of tweets
Study: Here are the factors that impart the least credibility to a tweet:
Another study found an author's influence, topical expertise, and reputation all enhance a tweet's credibility; other perceived markers of credibility include the public profiles of tweeters and how often their posts are retweeted.
And just for Ryan:
Twitter resources from Journalist's Toolbox
Daily Assignment 1 (Day 1): Sign up for a twitter account and customize it. (If you don't want course materials on your Twitter feed, sign up for a separate account) Email me your Twitter handle. Obviously, I think you should have the Twitter app (free) on your phone.
Daily Assignment 2 (Day 1): Let's see how you are at recognizing the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. You and partner are to do this assignment together. You will turn in your assignment, so please write this down. But we also will hopefully have time at the end of class to go over these together, so work judiciously.
Day 2: Tweeting live
Online reading: A case study in using Twitter on breaking news and Andy Carvin test pilots Twitter journalism
Everyone can tell a story using Twitter
Live tweeting Sochi and non-hotel related. Great examples of transparency, of using Twitter to give us an inside look.
The ethics of live-tweeting
Be quick but try to avoid a grammatical error that has people giggling:
And of course the errors that come from tweeting a live disaster
The Joplin, MO, tornado coverage by New York Times' Brian Stelter: "It was, after all, the place where my latest reporting was being posted. … Looking back, I think my best reporting was on Twitter. … People later told me that they thought I was processing what I was seeing in real-time on Twitter. I was." He archived his tweets on his Tumblr.
Tweeting Live notes
Live tweeting poses particular problems for students (and anyone, really); their regular followers can feel spammed when they're suddenly exposed to a stream of live tweets.
Leslie Thornton (@ljthornton) suggests that students let their followers know that they'll be live tweeting. "It should be clear why you're flooding Twitter with tweets," she said. "If you can, give people who want to follow all those tweets a hashtag to follow."
Andy Bechtel (@andybechtel) agrees: "If you are going to tweet frequently from a live event, give your followers a heads-up with an introductory tweet. That way, they'll be ready for a lot of tweets from you in a short period. (Example: "I'm at a social media workshop. I'll pass along the best tips as I hear them.")
The Twitter mute button can help during live tweets.
Using Twitter to mass communicate: Angie tweets her abortion and this:
How did Ron Wilkins handle the MLK celebration on Jan. 18?
The J&C livetweets a press conference. Sports live tweets can be tricky. Tweeting before and other non-event items.
How did a former student do at the polar plunge? And Nick's Flicks. And "Fault in Our Stars" speech.
Twitter chats. When live Q&As on Twitter go very wrong
Programs like TweetChat can help. Search for them on Twitter.
Major assignment, due Week 8 or 9:
Day 3: More Uses
Reading: What Twitter teaches us about writing short well ; How to guide on Twitter Lists
Uses for Twitter:
A reminder of our Uses of Social Media from Day 2. 9 Breaking News Tweets that changed Twitter
Twitter can actually be a tool for some great writing
The NYTimes experiment with tweetable text and LA Times suggested tweets and the PR "click to tweet" movement (Wordpress.org has a plug-in for this). It never really caught on.
What is transparency?
A growing argument in new media is that quality journalism in all its new forms can distinguish itself by being transparent. First, it can aid credibility and distinguish itself from rumor and unchecked information by being transparent, revealing how information was obtained so audiences can see its origin, help correct errors, etc.
It can also give more insight into the reporters themselves (and thus aid their credibility, relatability) with more sharing of behind-the-scenes information. A recent study found female journalists were significantly more transparent than males. "They revealed more about their jobs, personal lives and everyday activities, and linked to more external websites, all indicators of greater transparency."
Source: Transparency and Other Journalistic Norms on Twitter, Volume 13, Issue 3, Journalism Studies
Using Twitter in news coverage
Twitter will be useful to reporters and other journalists in a variety of ways:
Careful what you retweet. Should journalists verify before they retweet? See's AP's rules And how to verify tweets. In addition, tweeting gets erroneous news out there more quickly.
Source: Steve Buttry and 10 Ways Journalists can use Twitter
Twitter troubles and hacks
Daily Assignment 1 (Day 3): Set up Twitter lists. Find at least five people you want to follow on Twitter related to your beat and create a Twitter list. Post this list to your in-class blog. Tell me why you chose to follow this account. (Besides following people and retweeting is a great way to get more followers). In addition, make sure sharing on Twitter is an option on your beat blog posts. Twitter has dozens of tools/apps (including Click to Tweet) that you might check out on your own and see if they are useful to you.
Daily Assignment 2 (Day 3): It's time to Tweet. Come up with a couple of Tweets from your "beat" that encompass two uses. Let's use a common hashtag so we all can see #com407. Do you need another hashtag? Send them flying from your account. Don't forget to use URL shorteners like bit ly and tinyurl.com and Google's shortener and WordPress.com has its own (when a reader hits the tweet button on the post it provides a shortened URL) Previous class efforts: Nick found something unique to share; as did Sarah (very creative wording) In addition, retweet from at least 1 of the Twitter accounts you chose to follow.
Day 4: Hootsuite and Tweetdeck
Readings: Beginners Guide to Hootsuite; Beginners Guide to Tweetdeck;
So Hootsuite has a blog to keep you updated
Study: When should you tweet?
On Twitter, the best window is 1 to 3 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. Facebook was hot at 1 to 4 p.m. And Tumblr is a night owl, with posts doing best after 7 p.m.
Normalizing Twitter:
Through a content analysis of more than 22,000 tweets on Twitter, a study found that journalists more freely express opinions. To a lesser extent, they provided accountability and transparency. Local media more likely than national "elite" to provide information about their jobs, engage in discussions, write about personal lives or link to external websites.
Source: Volume 13, Issue 1, Journalism Studies
Funny Twitter reax to Superbowl blackout and #lightswentout
Daily Assignment 1 (Day 4): If you don't already have one, let's sign up for a Hootsuite account. Add your Wordpress blog and your Twitter. It's a good idea to have the Hootsuite app (free) on your smartphone.
Daily Assignment 2 (Day 4): It's time to tweet again. Go ahead and come up with two tweets "related to your beat." Remember what makes a Good, Bad and Ugly tweet. But instead let's use Hootsuite instead. Fire off one right now and schedule one for later.
Major assignment, due Week 11:
Week 9 – Aggregation & Curation & Storify; Interviewing
Day 1:
Readings: Sharing other people's content. For review, the Storify tutorial
Aggregation & Curation:
What is the difference? Curation vs. Aggregation
A recent example of curation: Keisha and this farm blog curates
"Aggregation and curation are techniques of using content from other sources to provide content for your audience. They occupy overlapping spaces on a spectrum with original reporting at one end and mechanical aggregation at the other." (Buttry)
Curator sites: Upworthy
Journalists as Community Managers:
"Journalists will not longer focus exclusively on gathering information and producing a story. Now they're managing and amplifying the conversations the community is having; conversations that will happen with or without them.
Journalists will also have social content creation more integrated into their workflow, whether that means creating content for specific platforms or using the content from that platform for the purposes of curation."
Source: The Future of Social Media in Journalism
Link, attribute, add value:
Aggregation can be done ethically if you follow these guidelines:
Examples: Giant Panda slideshow (no photos by WP photographers), Huffington Post, (See how Huffington Post curates reaction at end of Bachelor story), data analysis. And Mediagazer.
What is Storify? It's the compiling of social media (Twitter, YouTube, etc.) to tell a story (without or without comments). (Think Buzzfeed) Storify sifts through all that's out there. There's even a bookmarklet under tools (bottom of page, just like the Pin It button).
The 5 types of stories to use storify on.
So: Breaking news: The Purdue shooting Storify & Newtown Shooting (he only used Twitter). Or Storifying local news events. Or a a live tweet.
And it can be humorous: Alec Baldwin.
It can be used to instruct or recap a meeting/class
You want to be:
*long enough
*ask people to use a hashtag
*make use of at least transitions for readers:
Colorado theater shootings
You don't have to lose your voice. You can "write a story" : Gay Girl in Damascus.
2014 Storify Year in Review and even companies do a year in review
Other entries: Rebelmouse has followers. Example. And Medium.
Twitter has Curator but it only allows curation of tweets.
Newsrooms say referrals from Reddit are increasing. But Reddit also has a reputation problem. Mashable's beginner's guide to Reddit (at end)
Daily Assignment 1: Your storify assignment. Some nice efforts from students with interesting ideas: Rain Delay and Oscar Wedding Influence. Unfortunately, Wordpress.com does not support the embed code from storify. You will need to export, HTML, and just pass along the URL to readers.
Day 2: LinkedIn
Readings: Complete guide to LinkedIn etiquette; and Beginners Guide to LinkedIn
Status updates vs. Posts on LinkedIn
A year end review on Storify promoted on LinkedIn. LinkedIn's curation of LinkedIn is Pulse
LinkedIn and mistakes to avoid on your LinkedIn profile. How journalists use LinkedIn. Also what college students should have on their LinkedIn. Now on LinkedIn, video and photos to illustrate your work. Here's how.
You can use the LinkedIn bookmarklet to share articles on your account.
And don't forget you can use LinkedIn to share your blog posts just like you do othe media:
Daily Assignment 1:If you don't have one already, create a LinkedIn profile. If you do, 1. look for new contacts and send out requests or find a new company/group to follow. 2. Share a post from your class blog as either a LinkedIn post and/or upload (or link to) a sample of your work 3. Find two ideas for future blog posts. Once you do all this, just let me know on your Tumblr what you did/who you followed/what you found.
Week 10 – Spring break
Week 11-12 – Interviewing; Snapchat & Video
Day 1: Interviewing
Reading: Don't be Boring & Attribution rules
The Richard Sherman interview
How to interview:
You get information: Listen to these answers. Why did he use these clips?
You are going for the "Oh."
What makes a good soundbite?
Think about the medium and purpose. I love the interviews in this story about McDowell County, W.Va.
"Another great trick for audio interviews is to have your subject re-enact the story. It makes for good sound and helps you avoid having too much of your own narration later on."
The best:
Terry Gross and Fresh Air on NPR. Look at her interesting questions and follow-ups.
Humans of New York's Brandon Stanton at SXSW
Daily Assignment 1: Take 10 minutes. Review your previous posts. Determine one that could benefit from an interview. Who would it be? How would you find them? What would you ask them? We'll come back together and discuss this.
Daily Assignment 2: Think of a post topic. Then, think how a "real person" interview would aid that topic. Then find a classmate to interview. You should not pick the person next to you. You should not pick a friend. Try to find the best person. So for example you have a book blog. This week is Dr. Seuss' birthday. Your post idea is to list his most popular books by sales. That is the main point of the post. You could ask classmates what their favorite Dr. Seuss book is and why, and weave those responses into the post. (You can interview one or more than one if you'd like to go for a "list" post or a post that needs more reaction). Record on your smartphone to make sure you get the actual quote. You decide and you decide the questions. Then, evaluate the answers you receive and chose one. You don't have to do the post in class, but it must be included in a post this week. This counts as one of your assigned blog posts.
Day 2: Snapchat & Video & Apps & Alternatives:
Readings:Reporter's Guide to Multimedia Proficiency, Sections 12-15, pgs. 28-38
Five shots, 10 seconds
Inserting YouTube video into Wordpress.com blog
10 Excellent video editing apps and Editing iPhone in Adobe Premiere or the new Premiere clip app for iPhones
How to download Snapchat, etc. video to your iPhone
Periscope and Facebook live:
You can be creative:
Snapchat:Yup the prez is on Snapchat now. Here's how to use it, Poynter says. And tricks everyone should know. And the Snapchat chat function is a useful reporting tool. It's becoming more mainstream because of Snapchat Stories. Article on Snapchat stories. Yes, even the New York Times and The Washington Post are experimenting. One result. It's important to help readers out with some new apps. Ron Paul's snapchat interview and Washington Post reporter uses it on campaign trail (example) In Norway, news stations are reaching young people with Snapchat. Oscars and Snapchat
Periscope for beginners
Why Video?
Laying off photographers in favor of video. In response some papers, like the WSJ, created an app that allows reporters to use cellphone video to report. The result is Worldstream.
Key findings were:
Irony: A reporter from a competing newspaper must get video for a story on how photographers at rival paper laid off so reporters could do their job, including getting video.
Video notes
The action shots:
Five shots, 10 seconds
The interview shots:
What journalists need to know about interviewing for video. Studying commercials for narrative storytelling.
Poynter chat on mobile video skills
Social media "selfie" videos
What is a video illustration? It's the simplest type that complements or illustrates a text story. It enhances the print story by showing something that is not as effectively described in print as by video.
Let's look at some examples. The Chapel Hill shooting. Examples from Worldstream (WSJ) (This is a lot like your major video assignment, both interviews and illustrations).
Let's look at these example together.
Why we do it:
Brussels raw (even with the photog's finger) and raw interview
The Apps to do it:
Options for editing: Videolicious (free, let's you record yourself, narration over videos, add music, can't really edit), and iMovie for iPhone ($4.99) or WeVideo for Android allows more editing. Splice is another recommendation. Voddio is a multi-track editor (more advanced).
Alternatives to regular video like Instagram video (or visually) and 10 editing tips vs. Vine video and tips of effective Vine videos . Vines and Instagram videos can make good, quick "on the scene" news shots. Downloading videos from these to your phone. They are also good for PR.

Contiguity is the process of adding multimedia elements and combining them with text at just the right place in a story. The most effective multimedia story quickly provides key connections between text, video, polls, etc. Research shows that readers will spend more time on a site when it includes text explaining how all the story's elements relate to one another. And users learned significantly more from the contiguous stories.

Daily assignment 1: Sign up for a YouTube.com account. You should have an Instagram account already.
Daily assignment 2: Upload iMovie (or this later version) or whatever app you plan to use. View a how-to video. Become familiar with it. Shoot some test videos. Edit them using the app. When video is done, upload to YouTube from your phone.
Day 3: Your video assignment
Major assignment, due Week 13:
Daily assignment 3: For next class, Take an "action" video that "relates" to your blog. Embed it in on your class blog. This counts as a blog post. We will be viewing these posts in class, so make sure you have uploaded the post to Wordpress by class time
Day 4: Your video shoot
Let's see those videos you shot.
(Bring headphones next week to class!)

What is a Podcast?
Podcasts are audio programs that are broadcast over the Internet. They can be downloaded onto your phone, etc., or played on your computer. You can download one or many, for free (generally), or you can subscribe to an RSS service for downloads so you can be alerted when new postings are made available. The name podcast comes from compounding the words iPod and broadcast.
They can be longer, like Slate.com's podcasts or NPR's or ProPublica's or from newspaper reporters like The Guardian's (long and short) or informational like the Office of Inspector General's or the White House's or CDC's, or entertaining like BBC's. Did you listen to Serial?
Why podcast?
For those of you who want to record and post audio to SoundCloud from your phones, Retronym's new AudioCopy app (Here's a how-to video) or VC Audio Pro – VeriCorder Technology's $6.99 VC Audio Pro app was designed for broadcasters, but is a powerful and functional tool for anyone that needs to record and edit audio with their iPhone. Itools or IExplorer for getting your Voice Memos off iPhone to computer (I actually email it).
Daily Assignment 1: Let's practice. Sign up for a Soundcloud account. Then, interview a classmate, trim their answer using Audacity, and upload it to Wordpress. (Here's how to upload to Wordpress. You have to save it first onto your Soundcloud).
Daily Assignment 2 (you will need to bring the audio to class with you):
Do's and don'ts of slideshows.
Some slideshow examples: Dying business is an example narrated by the reporter. A Decade in Space is narrated by the subject. Chinese ball and Biking and The Clarks is just slides and text (no natural sound, interviews or narration) as is the Hula Hoop History. This Vegas slideshow with no sound doesn't even use captions. And a little fun with slideshows from the New York Times.
Should we add music?
This is what you will do. Combination natural sounds/interview. Example Soundslides projects: Baptism and Beekeeper and Niki's Ability (interview only). Notice here in the Guitar Lady how captions are used. Compare to Baseball School.
Combining slideshow with other elements (video and words)
Let's critique some efforts from previous semesters
Even "magazine-length" slideshows
Go back and review your tips for good photos.

The schoolfriends dreams generally just involve being chased by or chasing around people in groups or sometimes just hanging around. I don't have them much now, more about 5 years ago at their height I think.

I don't get actual nightmares so much any more though (apart from what I've said above, and I think they're more warnings than anything else) since I've been working on lucid dreaming. Maybe you could try that? At least then you'd have more power and be able to fight if you wanted to, or change the dream

I had a nightmare about the Duggars brutally slaughtering everyone in the world except five people, but then the Duggars trapped them inside a building and burned it down.

Is anyone else been bullied/harassed/etc by figments of their own dreams? Is it a sign that part of me hates me? Am I just losing it (even more)? It could be just secret desires to find all my "enemies" and get revenge in some way or form because I think I am more reactive or retaliate more now....but my sub-concious telling me "yeah right".
I had a falling-out with a close friend of mine a while ago. But after that happened, I would have dreams that I would run into her at some place somewhere. We'd talk, and then eventually she'd get angry and slap me. Another time, she and her friend would circle me, and her friend would walk up beside me and say in my ear, "You're dead."
The peculiar thing is that these two people are not violent like that at all. The one who verbally threatened me would never raise a finger to anything (she wouldn't hurt a fly). The other girl, I think could have slapped me in real life if the situation presented itself, but it would still be something rare to happen.
But what I got out of that was that I felt guilty. I feel like I'm in trouble with them. Even if I happen to see them in a store or someplace now, I'm afraid and I kind of sneak out and hope I wasn't seen. It's a pretty direct message that I just feel guilty and I feel like they're incredibly angry at me. Whether or not they actually are is a different story. That I have no idea.
As for yourself... It could just be entirely random (dreams sometimes are just products of a bored brain). But alternatively, maybe there's something you wanted to do in college that you never got around to doing. Maybe there was a major you actually wanted to go for but did not pursue for reasons of practicality? Maybe you left someone high-and-dry at some point? Maybe you're stressed out over something else and you don't even realize it? Do you feel dread or guilt or anger?
Dreams... I'm not sure how much of an indication they are of anything. They're just ideas in the brain. And you are the person who ultimately decides what it means or what you would like it to mean. Otherwise, it could literally just mean nothing.
I like nightmares, these days. They can help me to realize things about myself, or they can present some really bizarre and interesting ideas. I've had dreams that I was a "sociopath" several times. It was peculiar because people were actually afraid of me. >____> That was interesting...

In my country, we don't call courses "majors". But the "bullying" was only featured at school (of the 5 - 16 sort that everyone hates), not college. I'm not sure what you mean by "high-and-dry", I did lose contact with a "best friend" at school (secondary school) after we finished the GCSEs and of course left school but also was the last I had to deal with any of my enemies/haters. At school I was very "to-myself" and strange so quite a few bigots hated me because I wouldn't fit in or change my ways. At college however, people were more accepting or tolerant but the barrier still existed and I became more cold and distant in the last year or so, because I was tired of it all and socially drained. The only thing that fits is that I feel powerless against them (based on my memories) despite now being a lot more defensive and retaliate more than I was when I was 16 and under.

Recently I decided that I do not want to go to medical school. I have decided that I want to work with dogs! I have a natural way with dogs, and they bring out something in me that I never knew I had. My goal is to open my own dog daycare/boarding facility that would double as a dog psychology center. I want to take dogs that everyone else deems lost causes weather because of aggression or another behavioral problem, and rehabilitate them and find them loving homes. I've even been considering going to veterinary school lately! I just got a 2nd job working at a veterinary hospital!
I like hanging out with friends and enjoy making people laugh. I'm all for going new places, meeting new people and trying new things. I have 2 tattoos one on my right arm and the other a devious smiley face. I would like to get another sometime soon.
I enjoy beers with friends, movies of all kinds, computers, video games, being outside, camping, going for walks, cuddling and of course being with dogs.
I am big into fitness, i go to the gym 2-3 days a week and I'm considering training for the next upcoming iron man competition. I'm not good at talking about myself like this, so if you have any questions ask. You would find out more that way.I just want to make it known that this won't be a typical "about me biography," because I am not a typical guy.
My dog, chili, is of major importance to me. If you don't like animals, probably best not to message me.
I use words like gangrenous is my everyday vocabulary.
My best friend is a woman, I confide in her about everything, and we have a pretty fucked up relationship. So if that bugs you then I'm sorry, this probably won't work out.
I'm big into cooking! I make a mean steak dinner, and I enjoy doing it too.
Comedy, what do you think of when you hear the word comedy? I think of any Seth McFarlen movie or tv show. Amazing. End of story.
If you want to know more, a message won't hurt. But make sure it's thoughtful and not something ridiculous and mediocre like "hey" or "what's up?" If you send me that I'll know you didn't take the time to read this.

2003 Buick Regal Overview
2003 was a year for downsizing in the Buick Regal. Not in dimensions or trunk capacity (16.7 cubic feet) or engine power (a 3.8-liter, V6), but in standard equipment, most notably in the base LS model. The 2003 Regal is a mid-size sedan that shares its style and platform with the Century, but offers better performance and a sportier suspension in an attempt to woo younger buyers.
This year, some safety features that were standard on the LS, such as ABS brakes and traction control, are now optional. They are still offered with the GS. Heated mirrors are now only optional on the GS. And the handy split-folding rear seats will now cost you extra. Does the 2003 Regal make up for this with anything new? It does get a better starter and bundles options together in more packages, a new Luxury package and a Leather and Wheel package, which adds leather seats, the split-fold, and 15-inch aluminum wheels to the LS. A 195-hp V6 powers the base LS, while the supercharged GS hits 240-hp, both with a 4-speed automatic. The GS comes standard with 16-inch wheels, a stiffer suspension, and rear stabilizer bar, which is optional on the LS as the Gran Touring package.
The 2003 Regal is a good domestic alternative to the more popular foreign mid-size sedans, and owners like the still long list of features (power driver's seat, cruise, keyless entry) even in the base model. They also feel the engine is reliable and durable, with good 20/30 gas mileage. Handling is a breeze, and the GS acceleration power hints at street racer potential. Downsides include some dash rattles, an outdated interior (especially the faux wood trim), wind noise, and cupholders that get in the way of the shifter.

Caltech's core curriculum is designed to prepare students for the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary research in science and technology and requires that they complete what amounts to a class each quarter in the Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS). The Los Angeles Times recently focused the spotlight on this aspect of the Caltech experience, featuring several of the division's students.
Caltech graduate student Melissa Yeung has been selected as one of 21 students nationally to receive a Department of Energy (DOE) Computational Science Graduate Fellowship. The honor covers up to four years of support for graduate studies in fields that focus on the use of high-performance computing technology to solve complex problems in science and engineering.

A New Gar Bay Opens In HK!
I know that's like saying, "New yogurt place opens in the Village," but this one is special since it's brought to you by the owners of Pieces, the long-running gay Cheers on Christopher Street.
It's Hardware, a sleek hangout in an old hardware store where the guys now have to provide their own tools and figure out how to work them.
You enter into a long, narrow bar scene (the tenders all wear matching muscle Ts, by the way) that leads into the main room, where the stage provides the chance for drag shows upon drag shows.
At the VIP opening on Saturday, drag star Rhea Litre added some sparkle, co-owner Eric Einstein beamed when I called the place "Son of Pieces," and Gary Hall (aka Shequida) told me he's the entertainment director and has lined up the following schedule:
Upcoming Events
Wednesday: The Pep Factor with Peppermint
Thursday: The Shequida Show (No, it's not just nepotism. It's good.)
Saturday: Rockin' with DJ Scotty Roxx
Sunday: Open Call with Brandon Cutrell
Tuesday: Glamorati, which is very East Village meets HK drag.
There will be stuff on the other nights too, but please, people--let me have some quality time at Pieces too!
