The Marso-Schmitz Plaza, made possible by a lead gift from MSU Foundation president Mary Marso-Schmitz ('68), creates a place for students to relax, study, and meet others. Its design allows for outdoor music performances, as well as community and University events and receptions.
The Jane Rush Gathering Place was created to honor the late Jane Rush's contributions to campus life. Features include an arbor, which is located over the western sidewalk of the plaza, and a small cupola located in the arbor's center.
Minnesota State University, Mankato's Performing Arts Center was completed in 1967, and is so named to suggest the functions of the disciplines of music and speech which take place there. Formerly called the Music-Speech Building, the center contains the Ted Paul Theater, named in honor of Dr. Ted Paul Jr., director of theater at Mankato State from 1950 until his retirement in 1980, and the Elias J. Halling Recital Hall, named in honor of Elias J. Halling, who came to Mankato State in 1936 as vocal music teacher and retired in 1974 as associate dean of the MSU School of Arts and Science. The building also houses scene and costume shops, band and choir rooms, music library, and various studios, classrooms, practice rooms, and related offices.

This use case addresses the On Demand Meter Reading message generated by the CIS system.
An on-demand meter read is issued in the Customer Information System (CIS) for any legitimate reason. The message is sent to the AMI Head-End and routed to the appropriate Smart Meter. When the message is received at the NIC (part of the Smart Meter), it is converted and sent on to the Meter Metrology Board (part of the Smart Meter) which performs the meter reads and sends the data back to the NIC, which sends it on to the AMI Head-End. The AMI Head-End sends the information to the CIS.

- Subjects:Classroom Management, Teacher Tips and Strategies, Technology, Communication and the Internet
Fun, FREE Educational Web Sites for Kids
- Grades: 1–2, 3–5
Kids are naturally drawn to the computer with its fun animations and cool games. It's one stop for shopping, entertainment, fun, and games. Here are a few Web sites that I use in my class to give a little extra practice in a skill for my below level kids, some challenge activities for my top students, and reviews for my on level students. Sometimes, I use the sites as extension activities or for homework. All of the sites are free and some of them have a premium version that includes more activities and some teacher tools. Leave a comment to be eligible for a GIVEAWAY at the end of the post!

Most of the time, I introduce the Web site in the computer lab with all the students and we explore and then play a little bit. Then I send home the Web site URL with the students on their homework packets, write it on my newsletter, and post it to my classroom Web site.
SpellingCity This Web site houses thousands of spelling lists and allows you to add your own. It makes it simple to differentiate spelling words and also allows the student to have FUN while practicing their words. There are pre-tests and post-tests that the computer will read to the student. The basic version is free and many of the activities are printable. If you pay for the premium version, you get a few more games and it will give you a grade book tracking system. Here is a summary of some of the games:
- Hang Mouse: A game similar to hangman.
- Unscramble: Put the word back together from a scrambled set of letters.
- Audio Word Match: Match cards to the words and sounds.
- Match It: Match the word with its proper use in a sentence.
- Missing Letter: Find the missing letter that makes up the word.
- Alphabetize: Alphabetize your words.
WebRangers lets you create your own ranger station as you earn points through activities at various National Parks in the United States. Activities are leveled easy, medium, and hard. If students complete all three activities in one area, they can print the award and send it to the ranger station to get a cool embroidered ranger patch from that park. The top kids can generally do it by themselves; on level and below level kids are asked to visit the site with their parents so they can help them read the activities. Our school has a subscription to Discovery Education and I will usually supplement their visit with an additional video and quiz. If your school doesn't have Discovery Education, CaliforniaStreaming.org has thousands of pictures and videos and offers a free trial for teachers.
eFieldTrips This site includes about 20 tours with a curriculum connection. Teachers can sign up for a free account and you get a password for the field trip that you want to take. The field trip consists of three parts:
- eFieldTrip Journal
- Virtual Visit
- Ask the Experts Web Form
Most of the time, we take the trip together without taking notes, then when they go home, they view the field trip again and come back with their journal entry and a question to post in the forum. We vote on the best questions and combine a few before posting them. The photos are amazing and there is a field trip for every age range. I love going on the butterfly field trip to NABA International Butterfly Park in Mission, Texas. Insect life cycles are a California state standard for 2nd grade, and the kids love this field trip. Most field trips have a social studies or science connection.
Timez Attack In April, 2nd graders in California are learning multiplication and division as well as preparing for state testing. This game has AMAZING graphics, is SUPER FUN, and the base version is FREE! It will even save your games if you register. My kids can't get enough of it! The paid version includes a choice of more background environments and characters.
iKnowthat has several free sample games in each area for each grade level. We use MathBlox and Leon's Math Dojo as well as Monkey Money Mayhem. They offer at-home subscriptions for parents and licenses for classes and schools. The class license allows you full access to all of the games and tracks your students' use. There are good games for every subject and for grades K–6. The graphics are good and the games are easy to play. The app store also has Leon's Math Dojo and phonics apps for the iPad and iPhone!
I know that there are hundreds of Web sites that are wonderful, practical, and fun for kids. This is just the tip of the iceberg. What is your favorite Web site for kids? Leave a comment with the URL for your favorite Web site for kids to be eligible for a giveaway! I am giving away one package of lovely office supplies that includes dry erase markers, pencils, and sticky notes. Read my next blog post to find out who the winner is. All comments must be submitted by Sunday, October 3, 2010. One entry per person.
Join me next week as I get a little crafty. There will be a short video of a simple craft to do with your kids during the Halloween festivities or just to learn about pumpkins. I am going to be including science, language arts, and math activities that are centered around pumpkins. I am also including an October booklist, instructions for some crafts, and some fun party ideas. Stay tuned!
Happy teaching!

Thanks for sharing!
Karen, first click on the trip you want, then you have to register for it by giving them your email and creating an account. It will email you the password for that particular trip. Then when you log in,you can access that trip. If you have further problems, either try contacting them or your IT dept. I really hope you get the chance to use the site!
Hope this helps, Nancy
The eFieldTrips site wouldn't work for me at all! I'm so disappointed...I really wanted to use that one.
Rachel, Thanks for your comment. I'm looking forward to checking out your suggestion. I love supporting Arts Education in school.
Happy Teaching, Nancy
Great ideas that I will definitely use. For kids who love to draw, and want to learn how to do it better, this site ... http://www.drawinghowtodraw.com/ ... will help them do that with 100s of drawing lessons and an online drawing application to practice with.
Thanks for posting this great article.
Tobin, My kids really like Hang Mouse too. I'm glad you found something that you liked. Thanks for reading!
Happy Teaching, Nancy
The Hangmouse on Spelling City is excellent!!
Mary, I hope you enjoy the efieldtrips. It inspires me to want to travel more after seeing some of these places! Thanks for your comment!!
Happy Teaching, Nancy
Nancy, I like the efield trips. I am going to take my students on the Pearl Harbor and Engery field trips.
Alicia Kelly, Thanks for commenting. There are a ton of games there and good free ones too.
Happy "Teching" Nancy
Kristin, Thanks for commenting. I can't wait to check your website suggestion. It's nice to have prescreened sites that are great for kiddos to use without wading through a million sites.
Happy "Teching" Nancy
Anne, Thank you so much for commenting! I hope you enjoy spellingcity.com It's easy to print our items for in class practice and they can play a few online games too.
Happy "Teching", Nancy
I liked the iknowthat.org site for great games.
ReadWriteThink.org has both tons of great interactive games and tools for kids, but also great, simple projects for parents do to with their kids. Take your kids on a reading hunt, work through a persuasive writing exercise or make comics (plus lots more). (ReadWriteThink is just one partner in Thinkfinity.org, which has a lot of other partners with great tools.)
I enjoyed reading your way of using web sites. I plan on trying SpellingCity.com
Khristi, Thanks for reading my blog and taking the time to post. I am going to check out sightwordswithsamson.com! I am also entering your name into a drawing for some lovely office supplies. Check back next week to see who won the goodies. :)
Happy "Teching", Nancy
Lauren Bridget, Thanks for your suggestion. I love being able to hook kids into a site and be able to use it for homework too. The kids LOVE it for homework. I am entering your name into my drawing for some office supply goodies.
Happy "Teching", Nancy
Alyssa, Thanks for your comment. I am looking forward to checking out every one's suggestions on new websites. I have a ton more, but I will post them later in the year. Discovery is awesome. I am entering your name into my office supply giveaway! :)
Happy "Teching", Nancy
My favorite sight is www.sightwordswithsamson.com I use it at home with my children and with my students. They love it and it really does help the to learn sight words.
Great post Nancy.
A really cool site I use a LOT is http://www.what2learn.com. This is free to access and has literally thousands of ready-made interactive learning games to use right across the subject spectrum.
As well as the games-based learning, the students love the feature which gives them a virtual farm to buy things for and to care for and manage. Doing anything on this farm requires them to spend credits that can only be earned by beating learning games - a great motivational tool that keeps them coming back for more.
As a teacher, my favorite bits are that it is easy to add your own games and that I can quickly and easily see the scores my students get, making it suitable for homework tasks.
Thank you for the ideas. I am new to using technology in the classroom, so look forward to finding new sites. For a little down-time, my students enjoy http://kids.discovery.com/games/whizzball/whizzball.html. There are so many great sites, but this catches the attention of every level in my 2nd grade room. Let the critical thinking flow!
Katie, Thanks for your comment. I am entering you into the giveaway drawing. I am going to check out kidblogs too!
Happy Teaching! Nancy
Erica, Thanks for your comment! Let me know how you like the sites. I will be listing more later on in the year.
Happy Teaching, Nancy
A website I use with my middle school students during novel studies is http://www.kidblogs.org. The great things about this site are that kids do not need an email address to use it, the teacher is in complete control, and you can make it as public or private as you or your district desires. My students love this practice, too! I think one of my 7th grader's described it best when they said "It's like a class discussion, but we all get to talk at the same time without yelling or being talked over! Did you know it was going to be like that? Quiet and full of conversation at the same time?" Everyone's voice can be heard!
Thanks for some new ideas. I already use a few of these sites but I am excited to try the new ones!

1. African Beverages Industries Water Savings Initiative (ABIWSI)
Based on the outcome from a sector study, a framework analysis and an in-plant assessment that were carried out under the African Brewery Sector Water Saving Initiative (ABREW) in four African countries and in the context of the African Water Vision, the African Beverage Industry Water Saving Initiative (ABIWSI) was formulated. The potential to reduce water consumption in the beverage industries in Africa is considerable, considering that they exceed international bench marks for water consumption significantly. This also indicates that there are opportunities for Cleaner Production measures to reduce water consumption in these industries. The main objective of the programme is to promote efficient utilization of water and reduction of water discharge from African beverage industries and through this contribute to the fulfilment of the African Water Vision. In March 2010, the Regional Office for Africa organised a regional workshop on the African Beverages Industries Water Saving Initiative. With this regional workshop the programme for implementation of water saving initiatives in the different beverage industries started. The workshop was attended by participants from eighteen beverage companies in seven countries and seven National Cleaner Production Centres. A follow-up national meeting was held in Addis Ababa in January 2011 during which the 5 participating companies presented the progress being made in implementing ABIWSI. The programme is ongoing and the companies involved are currently implementing various measures in order to reduce their water consumption.
2. Implementation of the Joint UNIDO-UNEP Programme on Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) in Africa
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and UNEP cooperate to promote the transition towards sustainable industrial systems in developing and transition countries. This is part of their broader programmes on promoting Green Industry and Green Economy, respectively. Specifically, the joint Programme on Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) aims to improve the overall resource efficiency and environmental performance of businesses and other organisations. UNIDO and UNEP therefore develop and strengthen national capacities for delivering support services for RECP implementation to businesses, governments and other organisations. This enables them to implement RECP concepts, methods, techniques and policies and thereby improve the efficiency of their use of natural resources (energy, materials, water) and reduce their pollution and waste intensities. In addition, UNIDO and UNEP support the establishment and efficient operation of a global network with regional chapters that facilitate the effective transfer of RECP knowledge and technology and foster both South-South and North-South cooperation.
3. Application of PRE-SME and Responsible Production toolkits in the African region
UNEP's project on Promoting Sustainable Consumption and Production in Developing Countries for Poverty Alleviation led to a number of products and guidelines including the development of the Responsible Production Handbook for Chemical Hazards Management in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), the Toolbox for Analysing Sustainable Ventures in Developing Countries entitled Towards Triple Impact and the Guidance Framework on SCP Indicators for Developing Countries. Another project on Promoting Resource Efficiency in SMEs (PRE-SME) in Developing Countries has led to the production of a toolkit on promoting resource efficiency in SMEs. The Responsible Production Handbook has also provided a valuable input to the toolkit on PRE-SME, which is being developed in the broader context of the Global Programme on Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production that is being implemented with the active participation of the Network of the National Cleaner Production Centres (NCPCs). A Regional Training on Resource Efficient and Responsible Production has been organised in June 2010 in Cairo, Egypt as part of scaling-up the dissemination and utilisation of the above tools to enable NCPCs and other technical service providers to use them as part of their technical support service tools in the region. As a follow-up, the toolkits are being applied in six industries in three countries in the African region as a demonstration project. The objective is to further demonstrate the potential benefit that industries can achieve through RECP improvement programmes and to generate feedback on the use and applicability of the PRE-SME resource kit. The PRE-SME resource kit and training handbook are now available on UNEPs dedicated PRE-SME website: http://www.unep.fr/scp/presme
4. Preparation for CSD-18, CSD-19 and Rio+20
During the second meeting of the Steering Committee on the African 10-YFP on SCP, the regional preparatory process for the subsequent cycle of the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD), which will be focusing on sustainable consumption and production, has been discussed. The meeting decided that the regional preparatory work for Africa should be carried out in the context of the regional follow-up of the African 10-YFP. Subsequently, support was provided for the preparation of the regional assessment report on SCP in Africa as an input to CSD-18 as well as for e regional expert group meeting that reviewed and finalised that report, including input for the UN Secretary General Report on SCP. In addition, contribution was made to the draft Marrakech Process Progress Report as an official background document for CSD-18. For the next cycle of the Commission on Sustainable Development in light of its 19th session (CSD-19) and Rio+20, it will be deliberated on the progress that has been made so far on developing the 10-Year Framework of Programmes and deciding on the way forward including global implementation mechanisms. The Sixth African Roundtable on SCP recommended the further consolidation of Africas achievement through a coordinated regional input to CSD-19. Consequently, support will be provided through the Marrakech Task Force on Cooperation with Africa for the preparation of the regional assessment report on sustainable tourism as an input to CSD-19 and Rio+20. Meetings, briefing seminars and side events in the margins of CSD-19 as appropriate to disseminate the outcomes of the Marrakech Process will be organised, and links and consultations to build political support for CSD-19 decision on a 10-YFP. Input will also be provided to emerging discussions on Rio+20, support to regional and national initiatives on SCP and follow-up for Rio+20.
5. Sustainable Buildings Policies in Developing Countries (SPOD)
The SPOD project builds on the work done jointly by UNEPs Sustainable Buildings and Climate Initiative (SBCI) and the Finland-led Marrakech Task Force on Sustainable Buildings and Construction, and will be closely coordinated with UNEPs and UN-HABITATs (United Nations Human Settlements Programme) common work on sustainable urban development. The project aims to assist governments at national and local levels, and in particular in developing countries to develop policy tools in support of mainstreaming sustainable construction and building approaches, also resulting in reduced carbon footprint from buildings. The project is set up by SBCI in cooperation with the Marrakech Task Force on Sustainable Buildings and Construction and will be implemented in two pilot cities in Africa. The objective of SPOD is to create the capacity for countries to establish a policy foundation for mainstreaming sustainable construction and buildings, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and to assist developing countries in efforts of poverty alleviation, social equity and economic prosperity through policies for sustainable construction and buildings.

Designed by Filipino sculptor Melencio Figueroa, the series has started to gain momentum and long deserved recognition as evidenced by climbing prices (which are mostly still bargains considering their scarcity) in recent years. Beautiful, and still very affordable (at least for the moment) considering their scarcity, these coins tell the story of America's brief colonial empire at the start of the 20th century. The series contains examples of coins struck at the only U.S. mint ever authorized outside of the U.S. mainland – the Manila Mint. In addition, these coins are distinguished as being America's only bi-lingual coinage, having the smallest U.S. denomination ever produced, and the first (if not only) series to feature a sitting U.S. President. The complete Phillippines set is as AMERICAN as much as it is Philippine and is an integral part of U.S. numismatics.
Notes: The complete variety set requires the varieties documented by Lyman L. Allen in his book U.S./Philippine Coins. This set has bonuses. Please see the Set Composition for a listing.

Clare Buswell
Hi! My name is Clare Buswell. I live in the south-west of Ireland in the countryside with Niall and our lovely 5 year old daughter Isabelle.
I've always been creative in some form or another, I studied graphic design at art college. I only discovered the whole world of paper-crafting after the birth of my daughter when I had little time but longed to be creative again. Card-making was the perfect answer for me and is now my passion. I also really love to make 3D paper projects. I love stamping, quilling and making my own embellishments, especially paper flowers! I love trying out different techniques and coming up with my own. I also love to paint with acrylics and watercolors.
I've been lucky enough to have my work published in Paper Crafts, CARDS and CardMaker magazines in the US and I design regularly for Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine in the UK.
When I'm not paper-crafting I love to spend my time gardening, baking and with my family.
I'm really excited to be part of the Core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock design team!

Kate Nolan-Denham
Hello! My name is Kate Nolan-Denham, but I answer to Katie, Mom, and Mimi, too. I live in Maine with my dear hubby (Scott), our youngest daughter(Lily) and two dogs(Lexi & Ryder). Our oldest daughter(Kass) lives nearby with our two grandsons(Chase & Seth). We are so lucky to live in a small community that is situated only 45 minutes from the ocean and the mountains. By day, I am an Office Manager for a Speech-Language Pathology Center. I love my day job because the women I work with do great work and have huge hearts! I was encouraged to start scrapbooking by a dear friend who insisted that scrapbooking was "so me." She was right! Twelve years later my love of paper crafting has evolved to include scrapbooking, card making, stamping, altered art, and a dabbling of mixed-media. My style is clean and colorful (most of the time). I have had the honor of being on several design teams during the last few years, but I am especially excited about joining the Core'dinations team. Now I can check it off my bucket list!

Hello! My name is Tracy and I have been crafting since I was a little girl. I started scrapbooking when I was in high school and card-making about 3 years ago. I am currently going to college for Graphic Design and work part-time at a local scrapbooking store.

Hi there! My name is Jill Lebbin. I am a wife, mother, craft fanatic, and DIY blogger at Every Day is an Occasion.com My husband and I have been married for five years and love living in our small town in Indiana with our two sweet and spunky children.

Suzanna Lee
What can I say? I'm just a woman who is obsessed with her husband, her 2 kids, her camera (a Nikon!), living life to the fullest and preserving our memories as we go! Michael and I have been happily married for 14 years. Together we are raising two amazing children—Nikolas, 10, and Mia,almost 7.
I am very diverse when it comes to styles and techniques. I can't claim any one as a main stay in my projects. I range from clean and simple to layered and packed with little details. The paper and photographs speak to me and I do what feels right. New styles, techniques, products, etc. are some of the major things that offer me inspiration. I am always excited to try new things and new opportunities, in life and with paper crafting.
When I'm not hiding behind my camera or cutting and creating both mess and beauty, I'm a physical therapist. I love what I do and love that it helps fund my hobby and collection! Who needs purses and shoes when you can have paper and embellishments?!

Gail Linder
My name is Gail Lindner and I live in sunny Queensland, Australia. I have a wonderful, hardworking husband, a beautiful (and energetic) 5 year old daughter and gorgeous 20 month old baby boy.I've been scrapbooking for over 12 years now and I can't imagine my life without it! I started scrapbooking in 1999 on a trip to the USA. I picked up a scrapbooking magazine and the rest is history! I immediately knew it was the hobby for me as it encompasses everything I love – memories, photos, memorabilia and (let's face it) pretty things! I'm mostly inspired by my photos and the stories I want to tell. I love the idea of conveying my thoughts and experiences in my scrapbooking for my daughter to read in the future. I like to keep my layouts fairly uncluttered and balanced, with the photos the main focus. My style includes lots of distressing, inking, layering and sewing. Apart from scrapbooking I enjoy blogging, organising and shopping (all related to scrapbooking of course!)

Kim Moreno
Hi y'all! My name is Kim Moreno and I am excited to once again be joining the Core team!
I am a mom of 5 kids ranging from 17 to 11 year old twins… 3 boys and 2 girls! You will see them show up all over the pages I create. I have been married for almost 20 years to my retired Air Force husband.

Shaunte Wadley
I am a 30-something, chocolate-loving, SAHM from Utah. I have been scrapbooking since 1997, the dreaded era of photos cropped with deco scissors. Since then, my work has evolved into a clean, linear, photo-focused style. I have been published a few times, been to a few trade shows, taught a few classes, worked for a few design teams…but have not yet lost the love for this hobby. I love it for the creative outlet, and the good people I have met along the way. My favorite subjects to scrap are my husband and five kids (I never lack for subject material ) I especially like making mini-albums of our many trips together. When I'm not scrapping, I am traveling, blog-hopping, reading, or editing photo shoots. And doing laundry. Always laundry.

Love it but
By Luv2Homeschool
from Mesa, AZ
About Me Educator, Parent
Love the product. Although the stacks can be a little difficult for little fingers to pull apart at first but great storage and cards. Like the stack don't know how well snapping will hold up over time. BIGGEST CON: ONLY thing I wish as with all products like this is there was enough to actually build all lower case or upper case letters in the Alphabet at the same time. I know it wasn't intent but would be awesome one time if a child could complete an entire A to Z collection and put in order.
Great learning toy
By Cynara
from Northern Jersey
Have used this in my 4-5 year old room with great success for 2 years. The children love to create structures as well as letters. It leads to incidental learning while they are creating. I did laminate the cards that came with the set and put them on a ring to make sure they stayed together. I will get a second set someday.
Love it
By MamaTom

This was very engaging for a students with Autism. The precise nature of the activity and the color coded examples were just what he needed. It will coordinate with handwriting resources that I frequently use.

Not as easy as it looks
By Cynthia
from Sandpoint, Idaho
I am using this with 4/5 yr. olds. Putting the curves and lines together is not as easy as it looks for little hands. I do like how it is a hands-on activity for showing the curves and lines necessary to make the letters. I would not have purchased this had I known how difficult it is for little hands.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

In Rare Vote, NAHJ Rep Wins as Unity Leader

NABJ's Ciara Sees Effort to Deny Her Group the Top Job
In a contested election that is rare for the board of Unity: Journalists of Color, Joanna Hernandez, a Washington Post multiplatform editor who represents the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, was elected president of Unity on Sunday.
She defeated Barbara Ciara of the National Association of Black Journalists, the current Unity president who was seeking a full term. Ciara told Journal-isms she felt a "gentleman's agreement" was violated: that she would win the seat unopposed.
"Obviously, there were other agendas," said Ciara, an anchor and managing editor at WTKR-TV in Norfolk, Va. She said she was told "there were those who felt that NABJ shouldn't have a second bite at the apple." The vote was 11-6.
Unity, a coalition of the national associations of black, Hispanic, Asian American and Native American journalists, has rotated its leadership among the four groups. Since Unity's first convention in 1994, it has worked hard to overcome the cultural differences among the associations.
Still, it has been a challenge to ensure that each group feels fairly represented despite the varying sizes of their memberships. Within NABJ, the largest of the groups, there have been consistent grumblings that it was not receiving its due, considering its size.
The back story on Sunday's vote began a year ago, when Rafael Olmeda, former president of NAHJ, stepped down as Unity president, citing personal reasons. Ciara, who had been NABJ president, was chosen to complete Olmeda's term, which ends Dec. 31, and Hernandez was picked as Unity vice president. John Yearwood, world editor of the Miami Herald and chair of the Unity nominating committee, and Michaela Saunders, a reporter at the Omaha (Neb.) World Herald and board secretary, confirmed that Ciara said at the time that she did not want to give up the chance to run for a full term as president.
Traditionally, according to Ciara, the heads of the various associations would consult and agree on someone to run for each of the offices.
This year, when the board put out its call for candidates, Hernandez said, "I just took it at face value." She said she knew nothing of a "gentleman's agreement." As one who had been laid off by the New York Times in 2007, she said she believed that Unity needed to "get back to basics" — jobs, increasing diversity in newsrooms and "focusing on communities of color," she said.
"I'd like to go out to the mainstream media and get them recommitted to diversity," she said. "I'll reach out to the online world." She noted that there were contested elections in all the journalist of color elections this year and that this was a healthy development.
Ciara said she was given a heads-up a few weeks ago about a whispering campaign to deny NABJ the presidency.
"I am happy to serve in any capacity" that puts to use what she's been told are her leadership skills, Ciara said, especially as Unity prepares for its 2012 convention in Las Vegas. The convention was one reason that she sought the Unity presidency, Ciara said. No NABJ representative has presided over a Unity conference.
Ciara remains on the Unity board as a director. She said she would consult with NABJ President Kathy Times to find out how she can best serve.
Also elected to the Unity board were Leisa Richardson of NABJ, assistant metro editor of the Indianapolis Star, secretary; Sharon Chan of the Seattle Times, outgoing president of the Asian American Journalists Association, vice president; and Saunders, of the Native American Journalists Association, treasurer.
Fox news analyst Brit Hume said of Juan Williams, above, on "Fox News Sunday," "The standard that was applied to Juan Williams is [manifestly] not being applied to other NPR people."
Fox Finds Others on NPR Who Have Expressed Opinions
Fox News Channel Sunday accused NPR of hypocrisy in firing news analyst Juan Williams for expressing opinions, showing tapes of other NPR news employees expressing their views.
In a celebratory exchange on "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace told Williams, who has signed a three-year contract with Fox reportedly worth $2 million:
"In March, Cokie Roberts wrote a column about Glenn Beck in which she said this: 'Beck is worse than a clown. He's more like a terrorist who believes he has discovered the one true faith and condemns everyone else as a heretic. And that makes him something else as well — a traitor to the American values he professes so loudly to defend.'
"That's Cokie Roberts in a column. And then there's Cokie reaction on 'This Week,' the ABC show, to a Supreme Court ruling on partial-birth abortion."
In a video clip, Roberts says, "I'm just saying that, you know, women would be protected from regret later in life. There are a lots of moral decisions people make all through their lives where they regret them. And the idea that the court is going to stop that for women is something that I think is just offensive."
Continued Wallace, "Somehow NPR didn't seem to think those opinions were objectionable. . . . "
He went on, "Brit, we also have the case of Nina Totenberg, who's not an analyst, but NPR's legal affairs correspondent. Besides a few years ago wishing that the late Sen. Jesse Helms would get AIDS for —
"BRIT HUME, FOX NEWS ANALYST: Or his grandchildren.
"WALLACE: Or his grandchild for opposing AIDS government research. We also have just in the last month her reaction — remember, she covers the court — to the court's ruling on Citizens United, a decision that said that corporations could get more involved in political campaigns.
"Let's watch."
"NINA TOTENBERG, NPR COMMENTATOR: Well, you know, really, this is the next scandal. It's the scandal in the making. They don't have to disclose anything. And eventually, this is the kind of thing that led to Watergate."
"WALLACE: And again, this is a reporter who covers the court."
An NPR spokeswoman did not respond when asked for comment. However, Alicia Shepard, the NPR ombudsman, said on the public radio show "On Point" Monday that she had begun to receive complaints about Totenberg and that having NPR newspeople in the role of news analysts "just doesn't seem to work. I hope they phase out the role," she said.
NPR has not responded to questions about whether Williams will be replaced.
Meanwhile, Vivian Schiller, NPR's chief executive, said she was sorry for how Williams' dismissal was handled — but not for firing him, David Bauder reported Monday for the Associated Press.
"Schiller sent an apology to National Public Radio staff members on Sunday night and wrote to managers at NPR stations. Her dismissal of Williams for saying on Fox News Channel that he gets nervous when he sees people on a plane with clothing that identifies them as Muslim became a 'public relations disaster,' NPR's ombudsman said."
The National Association of Black Journalists addressed the diversity issue.
"Whether you side with Williams' right to speak his opinion or National Public Radio's decision to part ways with the veteran, his firing creates a void at the network. Williams' was one of the few African American male voices heard on NPR," it said in a statement.
"That is the area that remains a key concern for the National Association of Black Journalists. Our leadership met with NPR executives in 2009 after releasing an open letter criticizing the network's lack of diversity in management. We took this opportunity to call NPR for a progress report.
"The network has made some progress since last fall's meeting. At the time, the network had one African American vice president. Today, there are three.
"Since our meeting, NPR has hired an NABJ member — an African American male. He is a national correspondent for NPR's digital platform. An NPR spokesman says another black male hire is in the works, but it is too soon to disclose details.
"Should NPR get a passing grade for this progress report? NABJ truly believes diversity is good for business, and we won't rest until NPR's on-air and management reflects the diversity of America."
Asked what role Keith Woods, vice president of diversity in news and operations, played in the Williams situation and the questions about diversity that followed, spokeswoman Anna Christopher said, "Keith is a member of the executive committee, and so of course is engaged in all major issues at NPR."

Network Crews Covering Haitian Cholera Outreak
"Over the weekend, word spread that an outbreak of cholera has sprung up on Haiti, the island nation that was devastated by an earthquake nine months ago," Alex Weprin wrote Monday for TVNewser.
"While the pictures may not be as dramatic as the ones viewers saw during the earthquake, the disease has the potential to kill or seriously affect thousands of people.
"The TV news organizations have dispatched a number of correspondents and producers to the area to cover the outbreak.
"CNN has chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta in Haiti (he left the U.S. on his birthday) joined by his senior producer Danielle Dellorto.
"CBS News has its medical correspondent, Dr. Jon LaPook on the island, where he will give his first report on the 'CBS Evening News' tonight.
"ABC News medical editor Dr. Richard Besser is in the country covering the outbreak, and filed a report for 'Good Morning America' this morning. Video of that report, after the jump.
"NBC News' chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman was in St. Marc, which Snyderman calls 'the epicenter of the cholera epidemic.' "
San Diego Paper Forms Latino Advisory Council
"A group of Latinos and the editor of The San Diego Union-Tribune are teaming up to bolster coverage of the region's ethnically diverse population," Steve Schmidt wrote Saturday for the Union-Tribune.
"The newly formed Editor's Latino Advisory Council will examine how San Diego County's largest media company can better reflect that diversity on its news and opinion pages, and in its hiring practices.
"Leading the panel are retired municipal government mid-manager Olivia Puentes-Reynolds and Editor Jeff Light, who was named to the top newsroom job in February. . . .
"Light said the panel would help the newsroom address bias and perceptions of bias in its coverage. 'This is an opportunity for us to broaden our perspective,' he said. 'Making the editor's office accessible to more of San Diego is fundamental to our success.'
"About 3.2 million people live in the county. Just under half are white, while 31 percent are Hispanic, 10 percent Asian and 5 percent African American. The Union-Tribune also is read in Tijuana and other parts of Baja California.
"Puentes-Reynolds said the idea for the advisory group grew out of a meeting between Light and Latino leaders following a round of newsroom downsizing in June. Several Latino journalists and other minorities were among those laid off."
Univision Could Become Nation's Largest TV Network
As the demographic balance of the nation tilts away from an Anglo majority, the largest TV network in the country will soon be Hispanic. Univision CEO Joe Uva is confident they're on target to achieve this in as little as three years. But will advertisers follow?," Steve McClellan asked Monday in Adweek.
"With double-digit ratings growth so far this season, Univision is off to a better start than any of the major English-language nets. Uva believes he has the wind at his back in the ratings race.
"The new Census is expected to show a nearly 45 percent increase in the number of Hispanic Americans since 2000, to a total of 50 million. This couples with continuing audience erosion at the major networks and Univision's recent deal with Mexican programmer Grupo Televisa, which locks up the source of much the network's popular programming for at least another decade.
"Just a few years ago, the notion of Univision catching and surpassing them would have had mainstream network executives rolling in the aisles with laughter. They're not laughing now. And they're not talking publicly about it either: When asked to comment last week, all four nets refused."

There is a missionary meaning to this parable in this Year of Faith. We are seed, in His Holy, blood stained Hands, being spread into the world He still loves. That world which he created, is being re-created in and through Him. We are living seeds of the Kingdom in the garden of the world.

Published in Year of Faith
Keywords: mustard seed, sower and seed, light of the world, leaven, yeast, parables of the kingdom, year of faith, new evangelization, Deacon Keith Fournier
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - The Gospel for Daily Mass on Tuesday, October 30, 2012, is taken from St. Luke's account of the parables of the Kingdom of God:
"Jesus said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in the garden. When it was fully grown, it became a large bush and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches."
"Again he said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch of dough was leavened." (Luke 13: 18 - 21)
The images of leaven and seed reflect our reality. St. Jose Maria Escriva wrote: "May Our Lord be able to use us so that, placed as we are at all the cross-roads of the world - and at the same time placed in God - we become salt, leaven and light. Yes, you are to be in God, to enlighten, to give flavor, to produce growth and new life. But don't forget that we are not the source of this light: we only reflect it." (St. Jose Maria Escriva, Friends of God, 250)
St. Matthew elaborates on the challenges we face: "Hear then the parable of the sower. The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the kingdom without understanding it, and the evil one comes and steals away what was sown in his heart."
"The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy. But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away." "The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit. But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold."(Matt. 13: 1-23) We are both the soil and the seed. The Living Word has been sown within us and we are to cultivate the ground of our hearts so that we can be transformed in the Lord and more fully and completely reflect His Image and Likeness.This is the Christian vocation. We are all called to grow in holiness and progressively reflect the risen life of Jesus Christ. There is also a missionary meaning, of special importance as we consider our call to New Evangelization and the Year of Faith.We are seed, in His Holy, blood stained Hands, being spread into the world He still loves. That world which he created, is being re-created in and through Him. We are living seeds of the Kingdom in the garden of the world. Other images used by the Lord to communicate this issionary insight are also found in Matthews Gospel, salt and light: "Jesus said to his disciples: "You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden." "Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father." (Matt. 5: 13 - 16) The reference to light is meant to call to mind the words of the Lord, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12) We are bearers of the light of Christ who have been sent into a world which is walking in the twilight. We have been baptized into Jesus Christ. He now lives His life in us - and we live our lives in Him. We live in the heart of the Church for the sake of the world. The Father still loves the world and gives His Son to save it. (John 3: 16) That gift continues through you and me. As Christians we are called to love the world as God loves the world. Jesus Christ continues His redemptive mission in and through us! He has placed us in the world with a purpose. Jesus now walks into the world through His Body, the Church, of which we are members. We live in the Church and go into the world. One of the titles that the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council ascribed to the Church (found in early patristic literature) is the "the world reconciled." That same Council reaffirmed the ancient Patristic Image of the Church as a seed of the kingdom. Some of the confusion concerning our relationship to the world comes from the remnants of one of the early heresies in Christian history, Manichaeism. The followers of that error believed that all matter was evil. That is NOT the Christian belief. We profess in our Creed a belief in a bodily resurrection and the coming of a new heaven and new earth! Yet this error of viewing matter as evil and the world, by extension, as a place to be avoided, still infects and can lead to a kind "ghetto mentality" whereby Christians withdraw from the world. Some of the confusion can also come from failing to understand the differing ways the phrase "the world" is used in the New Testament. There is "the world" that God created and looked upon and said "it is good". (See e.g. Genesis, chapter 1). That world is still good. It is filled with beauty and reflects the Divine artist and architect who made it. That world He entrusted to the crown of his creation - man and woman. Then there is a system, the culture of death and use, which has squeezed God out of His rightful place and substituted idols. That system is also called "the world" in the bible. (See, e.g. James 4:4). We are not to "love" that world, in the sense of giving ourselves over to its dominion. We are to reject that system in order to free those enchained by its lies. The Father wants to bring the entire human race back into a relationship with Him through His Son Jesus Chris, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Those who live in Jesus Christ, by living in the Church which is His Body, are sent on mission into the world in order to bring all men and women into the new world of the Church. The power to effect redemptive change in the world comes from the life of God within us. It is amazing how little leaven it takes to raise a loaf of bread. That is because within those little particles of yeast is found the power to ferment, to change the lump of wet dough into a loaf of aromatic, tasty, nourishing bread. However, the power contained within that yeast is not activated unless it is mixed and kneaded into the dough. Once you work the leaven in, it is still hidden to the eye but how it transforms that loaf! So it is with Christians within human culture! The power within us is the very same power that raised Jesus from the dead (See Romans 8:11)! All we are asked to do is to mix it up. We have to get in the loaf. We must be in the world - where Jesus is - in order to be used to accomplish His ongoing work of redemption. Leaven that is not used in time spoils and loses its capacity to ferment that dough; it must be active or it becomes useless. That leaven must be in the dough to effect its extraordinary change. So it is with all of us. We must be "in the world" to effect its transformation. Once hidden in the loaf, leaven always raises the dough. It also takes human effort - it must be kneaded and worked into the loaf. So it is with our lives of faith. Faith is a verb, it must be exercised. By living in the heart of the Church for the sake of the world we bring the world back to God. This kind of missionary mindset has inspired great missionary ages in the past and brought extraordinary changes to entire cultures. It can once again! However, it always begins one person, one grain, at a time. The seed of the kingdom, the living Word, has been planted within us. And now, we become the seed, the salt and the leaven for the Divine Sower who continues His redemptive mission in a world waiting to be reborn in Him.He now spreads us in the field of the world to bear a harvest for the Kingdom to come. We are called to live at the crossroads of the world as leaven of the new world of which the Church is a seed and sign. This way of life is what the New Evangelization is about. This new reality should guide our participation in the Year of Faith.

CROSSLING Symposium: Language Contacts at the Crossroads of Disciplines
University of Eastern Finland, Joensuu
February 28-March 1, 2013
The goal of this symposium is to bring together scholars working on language contact, cross-linguistic influence or contact-induced change and variation within different disciplines. The symposium aims to promote cross-disciplinary and cross-methodological discussion in the study of language contact and strives for genuine discussion and cross-pollination between various disciplines and research traditions, their theories, methods, and data, and between researchers of different languages.
The invited speakers of the symposium are:
Gaëtanelle Gilquin (Université catholique de Louvain)
Svenja Kranich & Viktor Becher (Universität Hamburg)
Anna Verschik (Tallinna Ülikool)
The participation fee is 50 euros or 30 euros (students and PhD students).
The symposium is organized by CROSSLING, a young cross-disciplinary research network set up at the University of Eastern Finland. The network has received funding from the Kone foundation (
). The researchers of CROSSLING combine different areas of research which deal with language contact: contact linguistics, second language acquisition research and translation studies, and they work with different languages and language pairs. For further information, see
The CROSSLING Organizing Team:
Helka Riionheimo (chair), Minna Haapio, Sanna Hillberg, Franka Kermer, Maria Kok, Leena Kolehmainen, Minna Kumpulainen, Marjatta Lehtinen, Lea Meriläinen, Pirkko Muikku-Werner, Heli Paulasto, Esa Penttilä &Laura Piironen
For all correspondence concerning the symposium, please contact crossling
Final Call for Papers:
We welcome contributions focusing on language contact, SLA, translation studies and other possible areas of research and welcome scholars who wish to acquire novel cross-linguistic, cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary and cross-methodological impulses for their own research. We would like to encourage scholars working on different languages and language pairs to give presentations. The focus may lie on linguistic data as well as on theoretical issues.
Possible topics for talks include (but are not restricted to) the following:
- Language contact and language attrition
- Multiple causes of language change and variation: interaction between contact-induced and language-internal developments
- Connections between contact linguistics and SLA
- Receptive multilingualism
- Cross-linguistic influence in heritage language acquisition
- Cross-linguistic influence in translation: evidence from corpora, process research or history of translation
- Interfaces between translation studies and contact linguistics: translation as a type of language contact
- Possible parallels and interfaces between learner universals, language universals and translation universals
The working language of the symposium is English.
Abstract Submission:
Please send your abstract (500 words maximum, excluding possible references) for either a section paper or a poster presentation to crossling
uef.fi by 1 October 2012. Abstracts will be evaluated by the members of the organizing team. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by 1 November 2012. The book of abstracts will be published on the web pages of the symposium.

Four Charged Following Drug Bust
Four individuals are in custody following a search that was carried out Tuesday morning.
According to police, investigators from the Jamestown Police Department executed a search warrant at 11 a.m. Tuesday morning after an investigation revealed that crack cocaine was being sold from an apartment located at 633 E. Second St. in Jamestown.
Jose L. Maisonet, 18, of Jamestown, Tariq Johnson, 19, of Buffalo, and Randall L. Johnson, 26, of Erie, Pa., were all charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance after they were found to possess a quantity of crack cocaine that was packaged for sale. Ronquike Maisonet, 35, of Jamestown, was charged with seven separate counts of endangering the welfare of a child, as well. All four individuals were taken into custody and transported to the city jail where they are being held pending arraignment. The investigation is continuing and more arrests are expected.

Technical difficulties
First off, congratulations to Tyler B. for finally picking a distribution. Nobody else has been as careful and diligent with this (nor documented their process nearly as well!) as he has. I'm looking forward to testing the same distribution as he is, mostly so that he can help me and my n00b self out.
Secondly, some of you may have noticed slowdowns with the site recently; we sure have. Please keep with us as our hosting service – provided by the always-fantastic Dreamhost – is moving our site to another server due to technical difficulties. Everything should be back to normal within the next 72 hours.
My third (and final) point for the evening? Spread the word! We here at The Linux Experiment loves us some word of mouth. If you like what you're seeing and want to pass it on, link to us! Blog about us! Follow us on Twitter! Our job is to get the word out about what we're doing.
Happy reading!I am currently running Gnome 2.26 on top of Fedora 11 (Leonidas). Check out my profile for more information.
