LiveText Now Required
Please note: "Taskstream" has been replaced by "LiveText". As of Summer 2016, you will need a paid LiveText account.
Q. What was "Taskstream"?
A. "Taskstream" was used as an online commercial service application for storing digital course content for certification as evidence of high quality. Taskstream has been replaced with "LiveText".
Q. What is "LiveText"?
A. "LiveText" is now used by the ULM School of Education as an online commercial service application (livetext.com) for storing digital course content for certification as evidence of high quality. In order to receive a course grade in the School of Education, you have to have an active LiveText account.
Q. If I don't have a LiveText account, I won't get a grade for a School of Education course?
A. That's correct. The course syllabus describes this as a strict requirement. If your LiveText requirement is not satisfied, you can only get an "I" or a grade of "Incomplete".
Q. How do I get a LiveText account?
A. It costs money. You need to pay for it. As of Summer 2016, you are required to have one paid active subscription of LiveText in order to receive course credit for School of Education courses. If you have less than two years left until you complete your degree or your add-on endorsement coursework, ULM has negotiated a discounted price.
Please follow the links below for either the 1 or 2 year subscriptions:
Q. Do I need a LiveText account for each of my courses?
A. You need just one active Taskstream account for all of your courses.
Q. When I get a LiveText account, what do I need to do?
A. After you activate your LiveText account, write down your login and password. Then, follow the instructions for registering your account by supplying the requested information.
Q. I need to ask one more time: If I don't pay for a LiveText account, for any reason, does that really mean that I won't be able to get course credit?
A. That's right. This is a strict College policy. You need to purchase a LiveText subscription and successfully submit specified files at the end of the semester for a course in order to get a course grade.

Quality Cycle
Every improvement in quality or achievement involves an "iterative process" or "feedback loop" based on 4 interdependent and distinct steps. Every team that uses this model will become more effective in reaching its goals. Every school that uses the Quality Cycle will become a better place for students to learn and grow.

Instructional Design Best Practices
"Rapid eLearning" Tutorials In Instructional Design
This free website is one of the best sources for current professional practical tutorials of "best practices" in eLearning. You can access video tutorials designed for teachers and eLearning professionals to produce online interactive learning content. . Although this very popular website is supported by a software company called Articulate (Articulate sells GREAT but quite expensive software!), this site by Tom Kuhlman does cover MANY creative and interactive ways to use very popular software applications. You will be surprised what you can do with advanced applications of Powerpoint. This is an EXCELLENT compilation of advanced tutorials for developing practical online eLearning content.
"HOTS" Questions
HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) questions distinguish good teachers from excellent teachers. Simply asking 1 or 2 HOTS questions during each class can transform teaching. Based on the original work during the 1950s of Benjamin Bloom in his taxonomy (classification) of educational objectives, the "cognitive domain" of learning has 6 categories: knowledge, comprehension, analzysis, application, synthesis, and evaluation (mnemononic: "Keep cool at all summer events."). The first two categories, knowledge and comprehension, are based, entirely or mostly, on recall. The remaining 4 categories are considered as "higher order thinking". Here are some "question stems":

Your Online Electronic Portfolio ("eFolio")
Updated: Spring 2013: HTML Webpage "eFolio" Template
This eFolio template describes a project for a course called EDIT "6083". This online "electronic portfolio" example is by James Truxillo, a graduate student. (Thanks, James!) Consider it as a template that you may freely adapt.
Notice that the eFolio design is very visual with active linked images that "light up" when the mouse rolls over them ("mouse rollovers"). You will find it includes "internal links" by using "anchors". Here is the organization of the eFolio template:
Click here to view the detailed visual tutorial for editing and uploading the eFolio template as your own online eFolio.
Notice that the images used in the eFolio are "image captures" of project files; the image files are located in the img folder. Notice also that the actual project files are stored in the bin folder. Finally, notice that the images actively link to the project files. So, when someone clicks on an image of a project file, that particular online project file opens.
Common Questions About Your eFolio
Q. So, I replace the files in the "bin" folder with my own project files, right?
A. Right! Copy your project files into the "bin" folder. Use simple file names (alphanumeric characters, no punctuation characters, all lowercase letters, with no spaces).
Q. Is there something I can look over to get the "basics" for "uploading" files to my ULM website account?
A. Yes, there is something you can look at. Just click on the following link: The Basics: Uploading A File To Your ULM Student Website Account
Q. Then, I replace the image files in the "img" folder with my own "image captures" of my project files and saving them as image files in the "img" folder, right?
A. Right! You should have one image file of each of your project files; all of your image files should be in the img folder..
Q. Then, I do some editing of the index.html file with Kompozer, right?
A. Right! Insert your images into the HTML file. Then, link each image to that particular project file.
Q. Is there something I look over to get an idea how to use the free "Kompozer" HTML editor?
A. Sure! Click on this link: Advanced: Editing HTML With "Kompozer", A Free HTML Editor
(Note: The visual tutorial is older than this new eFolio template. Just keep that in mind when you see a link to download the old template.)
Q. When I'm finished, I upload the entire folder (using a folder name of my choice) to my ULM website account. Right?
A. Right! Your eFolio folder contains folders and files. When you use an "FTP" application, you can copy everything at once by "dragging the folder" into your online website account public_html folder.
Q. I forgot the name of the "server name". What is it?
A. When you want to upload your files to your online account, you need to specify the "server name". The name of the server for ULM student website accounts is warhawks.ulm.edu
Q. How can I view my eFolio on the Internet?
A. This is the "URL" of your your eFolio:
Just replace yourlogin with your ULM login and replace yourfoldername with the name of the eFolio folder.
Visual HTML "Webpage" Templates That You Can Adapt
Note that the templates describe Praxis resources with linked visuals. The "templates" consist of several folders that contain files. Note that when you edit this example, you'll need to keep the folders together in a common folder because the folders and files "work together".
Of This Template
Q. What should I do first?
Q. What do I use to edit the HTML file called praxis.html?
Q. Should I really just "play" by editing the
template... and make lots of attempts to edit it?
Q. Will I make lots of mistakes?
Q. Should I use the forums to get and provide assistance?
Q. Eventually, will I be expected to create captured
images of my visual reflections and actively link them to my own
online files?
Q. Is this really hard to do?
Try it! Then, play with it. Then, rename the folder and the html file.... in a series of explorations... of editing and re-uploading.... As you do this, always use the "F5" key on your keyboard or the "Refresh" icon to refresh your browser. After you are convinced you know how it works, then, continue editing.

This is a useful resource for evaluating websites:
Sample Newsletter
Feel free to use and adapt this newsletter template, designed for a unit of instruction. Notice that you can edit many features by copying, pasting, and editing. Also, you can select "objects" and use the CTRL key and the up, down, left, and right keyboard arrow keys to "move" the object exactly where you like.
"Active Worksheet"
This template is a sample "active worksheet". An active worksheet is a powerful tool for incorporating technology. In this example, website credibility is addressed. Students access websites easily and type their answers on the sheet. This is a very highly recommended technique that can be applied for any type of curriculum .

Stirring And Evocative: Accessing A Challenging Resource
Just providing a link can open minds to new perspectives and challenges. For example, if you are a high school teacher and the topic of Martin Luther King comes up, you could ask students to access a famous letter that Dr. King wrote from a Birmingham jail. Simply directing students to the online resource could provide an instructive and uplifting opportunity to feel and understand history from a different viewpoint. Here is a link to the famous letter that is considered by many as a beautifully written treatise on justice: http://www.uscrossier.org/pullias/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/king.pdf

Windows Users
If you use Windows, please use the free WinSCP application; directly below is the link to the "portable version" of WinSCP as part of a "kit" of free "portable applications". If you use Windows, this "portable publishing kit" contains "portable" applications that can run off your USB flash drive as a complete publishing kit. Download and "unzip" this 34.7 megabyte file containing a kit of free portable applications by clicking HERE. A "portable" application can run on nearly every computer that runs Windows without installation. This kit includes Kompozer, Audacity, WinSCP, MP3Gain, and CDex. Note: Will this software work on a Mac? No.
Mac Users
If you use a Mac, consider using "Cyberduck". (There have been mixed feelings expressed by Mac users who used this software in the past. You will need to edit your own Internet addresses or "URLs" after you upload your files.) If you are a Mac user who intends to use Cyberduck, please view this excellent online video created by Carol Osgood: http://www.screencast.com/users/Osgoodca/folders/6028/media/0b32ea14-a76b-4568-b237-be363566a717
Q. Where can I find and download Cyberduck so I can
install it on my Mac computer?
A. Use this link from this trusted website: http://download.cnet.com/Cyberduck/3000-2160_4-10246246.html#editorsreview
|File Name
|Folder Name
|Subfolder Name
(A "bin" is another name for the word "container". In this example, we'll use this "bin" subfolder to store files like documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and other "non-HTML" files.)
|Subfolder Name
Use this subfolder for storing images like .gif, .jpg, or .png files. (In this example, however, we won't need to use this subfolder.)
|Subfolder Name
Use this subfolder for storing audio files; these are .mp3 audio files. (In this example, we won't need to use this subfolder.)
|Your Login
|This is your ULM username or login. (This is what you use to access your myULM account.)
|The "URL" or
"Internet Address"
|As you can see, the "URL" or Internet address
includes your login,
the folder
you created for the course and another folder called "bin"
as a storage folder for non-HTML files like documents,
presentations, spreadsheets and other types of
files) using the exact
names of the files. After you upload a file like "proposal.doc" to
your ULM website, you can actively link to the online
file from a document or presentation,
Q. Can I put any files I want on my ULM website account?
A. Technically, yes. Always use your website account responsibly, according to stated ULM policies.
Q. Is a "URL" or Internet address "case sensitive"?
A. Yes. If you type INDEX.HTML instead of index.html, for example, the link WON'T work. Tip: It's a very good idea to only use lowercase letters for your filenames until you become proficient with HTML.
Q. If I include www in the URL or Internet address, will the link to my file work?
A. Yes. On the ULM website, "www" is optional; you may safely not use it.
Q. If I put my files online on my ULM student website account, can I say that this is a "website"?
A. Not really. It just means that you have online files that you can access from your online account. A website requires creating and editing HTML pages, or webpages, that link to each other.
Q. I'm interested in making my own website. Is it hard to do?
A. No, it's not hard. But, it's not easy, either. It does require that you use some free software, or edit a "template", and then upload linked files, to your ULM website account. The most common HTML file to edit is index.html
Q. What do I need to know to use an "FTP application" to upload a file to my personal ULM personal website account?
A. If you have already installed an "FTP application", you need only three things to upload files to your personal ULM website student account:
1. The "server name" or "host name" for ULM student accounts is on a "server" or "host" called warhawks.ulm.edu
2. Your ULM email login. Your login is what you type before the "@" symbol: firstname.lastname@example.com
3. Your ULM email password. This is the password you use for your myULM account and other ULM online services.
If you have this information, you can use any FTP application that works on your computer. It does not matter which FTP application you use.
Q. Should I be careful how I name files before I upload?
A. Yes. Naming files that go online require special attention; unexpected errors can be avoided by going over these guidelines for naming online files. You can save hours of frustration by naming your files properly. Why? Every Internet address depends on the exact text of file names. Unless you name your online ("uploaded") files properly, the links won't work.
An Example, Part 1: Getting Ready To "Upload" Your File To Your ULM Website Account
In this example, let's "upload" or "copy" a file from your computer to your personal ULM online website account using an FTP application. Let's say you want to put a document file online. Let's say that the document name is about-me.docx
Just follow these steps:
A. In this case, the folder you will create is called 4567. (Of course, this folder name is just an example. In your course, the folder name is named after the course number.)
Q. Do I create the 4567 folder inside of the public_html folder of my website account?
A. Yes. This is very important. You need to open the public_html folder of your website account first.
Q. Then, I create a folder called bin inside of the 4567 folder. Right?
A. Right! This is the folder structure:
Q. What type of file can I "upload" to the bin folder?
A. The bin folder is a convenient place to store many types of non-HTML files. The word "bin" is just another word for "container". You can store a variety of files in this folder like Powerpoint presentations, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and other types of files.
Q. Can I upload as many files as I want to my ULM student website?
A. Technically, yes. But, please avoid uploading large mp4 video files because video files can consume a great deal of storage. There is a limit on file storage and it is possible to exceed your quota if you store many video files on your ULM website account. Still, the storage space is quite large. To avoid any chance of exceeding your quota, please store all of your mp4 video files on your free screencast.com account. Here is an active link to an online Powerpoint file that includes visual directions for uploading your own mp4 video files on the Internet using your own free account on "screencast.com". The tutorial was used in a state-wide educational video contest; please ignore the references to the video contest and just focus on how to create your own free "screencast.com" account that you can use to upload your own "mp4" video files (created with Snagit!). So, upload your video files to your free screencast.com account; your video file will be available to view on the Internet using a URL provided by screencast.com.
Q.So, is it possible to exceed my quota?
A. It is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY that you can exceed your quota if you upload your video files to your screencast.com account. Always upload your video files to your free screencast.com account. Then, just use a URL link to your online video file or files. Links use nearly no storage space!
An Example, Part 2: Naming The File You Want To Upload
Make sure that you name your file without special characters or spaces. Use lowercase letters, numbers and the hyphen character. Don't include punctuation characters. There should only be one period in a file name.
NO: Introduction.docx
YES: introduction.docx
Why? Don't use uppercase letters in a file name until you get proficient with HTML.
NO: my introduction.docx
YES: my-introduction.docx
Why? Don't use spaces in your file names. Instead, use a hyphen (-) character.
NO: mike's-introduction.docx
NO: mike-introduction!.docx
YES: mike-intro.docx
YES: mike-introduction.docx
YES: mikes-introduction.docx
Why? Don't use special characters. The apostrophe (') and the exclamation point (!) are special characters. All punctuation characters are special characters.
NO: my.introduction.docx
YES: my-intro.docx
YES: my-introduction.docx
YES: myintroduction.docx
Why? Don't use an extra period in a file name. Also, never use punctuation or other special characters (,:?!@#$%^&*()+).
An Example, Part 3: A File Called "introduction.docx"
Another Example, Part 3: A File Called "proposal.docx"
Q. OK. I have uploaded two files to my ULM website account using a free FTP application. One file is called "introduction.docx" and the other file is called "proposal.docx". They are both located in a "bin" folder. The bin folder is inside of a folder called "4567" (for a course called EDIT 4567; of course change this for your needs). How do I access the files?
A. You can access your online files by using these URLs or Internet addresses. Notice the structure of the "URL" or "Internet address" for each file:
So, as you can see, the "URL" or Internet address includes your login, the folder you created for the course (in this case EDIT 4567), a "subfolder" called "bin" as a storage folder , and the exact names of the files (introduction.docx and proposal.docx).
Q. Let me get this straight. In this example, I would "upload" introduction.docx and proposal.docx into a subfolder called bin. That bin subfolder in inside of a folder called 4567. Finally, everything is inside of the public_html folder. Right?
A. Right! You got it! You use an "FTP" application to "upload" or copy files from your computer to your online account.
Q. What is the connection between "uploading" and getting my file(s) on the Internet?
A. Any file that you upload inside of the public_html folder is on the Internet.
Q. So, any file that I upload inside of the public_html can be viewed on the Internet using a URL or Internet address?
A. Yes. That's right. That's how it works. Anything inside of your public_html folder is shared on the Internet... with everyone else.
Q. Why is uploading files to my ULM student website account useful?
A. When you upload a file to your ULM website, you can actively link to your online file from any email message, forum posting, Twitter "tweet", document, presentation, spreadsheet, blog, wiki, and more... In other words, with an active link, anyone can click to view your file, directly from your website account. Here's how to link directly to an online file from your document or presentation.
Q. Is a "URL" or Internet address "case sensitive"?
A. Yes. If you type Proposal.docx instead of proposal.docx in the "URL" or Internet address, for example, the link won't work. The text that you type for a URL must be exact. So, don't use capital letters for file names until you know how to use HTML very well. Not naming a file properly is one of the main reasons people have trouble with uploading files.
Q. If I include "www" in the URL or Internet address, will the link to my file work?
A. Yes... but you don't need to include "www." in a URL or Internet address. The link (in almost every case) will work without the "www" in the Internet address.
Q. Again, how do I "upload" files to my ULM account"?
A. Again, if you use a PC, the free WinSCP "FTP" application is easy to use. If you use a Mac, you might want to use the free "Cyberduck" application. You can use any FTP application you like with these three things: the server or host name (warhawks.ulm.edu), your login (your own login for ULM email), and your password (your own password for your myULM) account.
Q. Am I responsible for the content I upload to my ULM website account?
A. Yes. Remember to always use your website account responsibly, according to stated ULM policies.
Advanced: Editing HTML With "Kompozer", A Free HTML Editor
Using the free "Kompozer" HTML editor, you can edit a file called index.html that allows you to create a webpage that can link directly to your files. Kompozer runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Here's a detailed visual tutorial: http://ulm.edu/~beutner/k2/
Advanced: Creating Visual Links To Your Files
With the free "Kompozer" HTML editor, edit the template file called index.html that allows you to create a webpage that can link directly to your online files by actively linking "captured" images of your files... to open the same files. It's easier to do than to explain! This is required in Instructional Technology graduate program courses.. You can edit the index.html HTML file and link directly to the files located in the "bin" folder.
Q. How do I access the free webpage template?
A. Here it is: http://ulm.edu/~beutner/2011/Student-Website-Skeleton-01.zip
After you "download" the file and save it to your computer, you will need to "unzip" this "zip file".
Q. How do I edit the free "template"?
A. After you view the template, it will be apparent that you can make a webpage that links to your own files using links from your own "captured images": http://ulm.edu/~beutner/tut/Kompozer-Editing/
Q. Is it possible to create a linked list of resources?
A. Yes! Here's an example of a single page of links to online resources: http://ulm.edu/~beutner/research/research.html
Q. If I need help, what should I do?
A. Just send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with your phone number. Or, call (318) 342-3142 during office hours and leave your phone number twice.)
Q. Is there an example of how the Internet addresses of "project files" for a class project would look?
A. Yes. Here's an example of a list of Internet addresses for some "project files" of a course project (Thanks, Vance!). Notice the structure of the links to the online project files. (Of course, you would change the name of the 5018 folder with a different folder name, depending on the course you are taking. ) NOTE: These links do NOT work now because this student's online account was deactivated after Vance graduated! Still, notice the structure of the links and how the files are named.)
Review: How To Access An Online File With A "URL" Or "Internet Address":
Review: The "URL" (or Internet address) includes your own login, the folder you created for the course (in this example, "4567"), a "subfolder" called "bin" as a storage folder, and the exact names of the files (introduction.docx and proposal.docx).
Q. Does the text for the Internet address ("URL") have to be exact?
A. Yes. The URL text has to be exact. Otherwise, the link will NOT work.
Q. Is the file name an essential part of the Internet address ("URL")?
A. Yes. The file name, in part, makes up the URL. If a file name is not named properly, unexpected errors may occur.
Q. Are errors caused by not naming files properly?
A. Yes. Here is a guide for avoiding common errors in naming files.
Q. So, if I want others to access one of my online files, I need to provide a URL or Internet address. Right?
A. Right!
Q. Is there a unique URL for every single file on the Internet?
A. Yes! To access any online file, you need to use a unique Internet address or URL. Every URL is unique.

The Avengers sequel has its villain. James Spader will play Ultron in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Marvel announced today online. A fixture of the Marvel universe for decades, the evil robotic Ultron has repeatedly fought the Avengers collectively and individually in attempts to take over the world. At Comic-Con this year, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige announced the title of the upcoming Avengers tentpole and who the villain would be. Disney will release the Joss Whedon-directed sequel on May 1, 2015. Last seen on the big screen in Lincoln, Spader returns to the small screen September 23 as the star of NBC's new drama The Blacklist. Spader is repped by ICM Partners and attorney Melanie Cook at Ziffren Brittenham.
James Spader Joins Marvel's 'Avengers' Sequel As Ultron
28 Comments
Genius move!!! CANNOT wait
So Ultron abducts Molly Ringwald and The Avengers have to team up with Ducky to rescue her in time to get to Prom.
While Andrew McCarthy stands there pouting.
I like that. Great reference of all 4.
I like this casting.
And screw the haters, I liked CRASH. The good one, not the one that won the Oscar.
EXCITING! Although some fan speculations had guessed that the Paul Bettany computer-butler JARVIS was going to be written as ULTRON, I am glad to here (for the sake of respecting the source material AND seeing a new actor as a Marvel villain) they went with a fresh-face
OHMYGOD! OHMYGOD! OHMYGOD! *fanboy squeal*
This will be voice work only, correct? Surely Ultron will have to be entirely CGI. Nothing remotely human about him/it.
I'm guessing he's going do motion capture for the role? Would it even be a voice over role? He can't physically play the part…
Genius move from Marvel. The Blacklist pilot is strong and the series could be the breaking drama hit NBC desperately needs.
Shitty casting. They couldn't have gotten someone better? I like Ben Affleck better then this.
Totally on the same page with Joe and DeadPool. Spader IMO is an excellent choice if we're talking mo-cap or voice over. Curious to see what they have planned.
I just read the Age of Ultron and have always been a fan of James Spader. Intelligent casting. Just hope the film is as intense and dense as the comic event.
Come to think of it, this could be a tie in since Age of Ultron and X-Men Days of Future Past have Wolverine as one the main character…we will wait and see.
The "Age of Ultron" movie has nothing to do with the recently ended comic book mini-series of the same name.
Won't happen since the X-Men movie franchise is controlled by Fox just as the Spider-Man movie rights are held by Sony. Though it's not impossible, especially if it's profitable. Someday, when Fox and Marvel/Disney are looking to reboot after running through the current cycle of movies, I could at least imagine a partnership where they pool their respective Marvel characters for a mega-blockbuster. Perhaps Sony and Fox could team up with their Marvel characters. Spider-Man Meets Wolverine? Spider-Man Vs. the Fantastic Four?
It's not based on the 'Age of Ultron' comic series; Marvel's only using the title.
Nope, we're still getting two different Quicksilvers it seems.
the backlash is the continued exclusion of Hank (ANT MAN) Pym from THE AVENGERS, the founding member (with THE WASP) of THE AVENGERS, who defeated Loki and coined the name of the group in issue #1, and who created ULTRON in the first place!..blasphemy!!
Backlash? Enough with these comments about Hank already, people. Look, I read Marvel comics too, but I don't give a damn if Hank Pym and Wasp are in The Avengers movies or if the movies follow the comic books at all. The point of the movies is to create something new and different from Marvel concepts that entertains people, not to copy the comic books development by development. What would be the point in that? It'd be boring.
As for casting James Spader: Cool, I'm up for it. Villains seem to be his thing. More for it than I was for Batfleck (which, again, we'll have to wait to see the actual movie to see if he's any good).
you think maybe this is a way to introduce hank & his wife? seems to me this is the perfect setup to debut these characters. i know they were planning an ant-man movie with MCU cycle #1 and are still planning for it to start cycle 3 and if he's in A2 it could serve as a prequel/origin story, my guess is they've seen little excitement from the non-comic geek portion of the movie-going population for an solo ant-man flick. from what i hear, it may be a comedy/action flick.
"It's the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not the comic book universe" – Kevin Feige
And people thought Ben Affleck as Batman was bad
Spader is one of the most interesting actors of his generation. What's your issue? You're allowed to include some insight or analysis after the snark.
James Spader is an engaging good actor. You diminish the awfulness of Affleck with this remark.
I'm sorry but if you really think the the comic event Age of Ultron was good you have some issuses. It was a cluster f*ck of an event the story was all over the place and half assed. Joss has already stated that the movie only shares the same name as the comic event, and thank god does not follow the plot of that craptastic event.
It better be only for 100% voice acting or else this will be awful.
Great, great choice. Boy, Spader is red-hot! Bravo!
Can't wait for The Blacklist – it looks great … and, original!
Ben Affleck says thanks very much!
Spader is an excellent choice as he has a lot of range as an actor. Nice job by Joss.
As for Hank and Janet not being in the Avengers movies, I too would like to see them both in the films. My first issue of the original Avengers was issue 9. I did manage to find the other 8 in 1964 and I feel Ant-man/Giant-man and the Wasp are simply absent friends who will soon arrive.
Make Mine Marvel!!

Weiner: Close PLO Office In Washington
Representative Anthony Weiner has introduced legislation to close the Washington D.C. office of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Despite a history of supporting terror in the Middle East, the PLO is currently allowed to occupy an office on K Street, minutes from the White House and U.S. Capitol.
Last month, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas invited known terrorist groups, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, to join the PLO coalition, making them eligible candidates for the next Palestinian Authority election. Over the last four years, Palestinian terrorist groups like Hamas have claimed the lives of more than 1,000 innocent civilians, including more than 40 Americans.
The State Department has repeatedly documented the participation of PLO factions, such as Tanzim, Fatah, and Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade, in these acts of violence.
Weiner's bill calls for the closure of the PLO office in Washington, D.C., until the Palestinian leadership commits to disarming terrorists and bringing violence in the Middle East to an end.
"The PLO has a history of supporting violence and stalling the peace process," said Rep. Weiner. "Until Palestinian leadership proves willing and able to stop the violence, the PLO should not be welcome in our nation's capital."

Dissertation Topic: Effect of Hypervelocity Impacts and UV Radiation on the Mechanical Performance and Fracture Behavior of Selective Aerospace Materials
Major Professor: Dr. Heshmat Aglan, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Associate Dean, College of Engineering, Architecture and Physical Sciences

Dissertation Abstract:
Materials used in aerospace and aeronautical applications are some of the most advanced materials. Aerospace materials are exposed to extreme environments and come with some of the most rigorous safety requirements. Depending on the location of the spacecraft, the exterior surface materials of the craft are exposed to several harsh environmental hazards that can degrade these materials. Structures launched into low earth orbit are particularly susceptible to thermal cycling, atomic oxygen attack. ultraviolet radiation, and impacts from orbital debris and micrometeoroids. The focus of this research is to investigate the property effects of the space environment on aerospace materials.
The materials studied in this work were: (1) metals - an aluminum alloy and tungsten, (2) polymers - neat and nano-structured phenolic resin, woven carbon phenolic, woven aramid phenolic composite; neat and nano-structured epoxy composites, aramid epoxy composite, and (3) ceramic - silicon carbide. The nanofillers used were multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and alumina nanofibers (ANF). Materials were fabricated and/or machined and exposed to hypervelocity impacts (HVI) to simulate meteoroid/orbital debris in low earth orbit. In addition to meteoroid/orbital debris, some of the polymeric materials were subjected to ultraviolet radiation. The microstructure, mechanical performance, fracture resistance, and/or failure mechanisms of the systems were evaluated after hypervelocity impacts and ultraviolet radiation exposure; these properties were compared to those of the virgin materials. In some cases, attempts were made to correlate the test conditions to the associated damage in the form of crater size, penetration depth, cracking, etc. Although the majority of the work reported focuses on hypervelocity impacts, a low velocity impact experiment was conducted on structural ceramic tiles to better understand the impact phenomena and attempt to establish any correlation between low velocity and hypervelocity impacts.
The mechanical performance of the neat and nano-reinforced phenolic systems was similarly affected by UV radiation interacting with these systems. Gradual losses in flexural strength were observed in the neat and nano-filled phenolic systems after long term UV exposure. The type of reinforcement had more of an effect on the mechanical behavior of the epoxy based systems. All of the epoxy systems experienced losses in ductility, but the neat and ANF reinforced epoxy systems retained their ultimate strength after long term exposure; the strength of MWCNT filled epoxy decreased after the second month of exposure.
The effects of HVI on materials are primarily dependent upon the thickness of the target and the size and speed of the projectile. HVI typically manifest through cratering and/or perforation. Micron-sized, plasma driven particles produced the following effects: in the aluminum alloy, impact craters with ductile failure features and evidence of target-projectile interaction resulted; craters formed in phenolic resin had brittle fracture features (rough crater wall and spallation surrounding the crater); evidence of perforation by the projectile was seen in the woven carbon phenolic, along with fiber breakage and matrix cracking (indicative of brittle failure); and in the silicon carbide, large craters with brittle features (conical and radial lines, surface spallation) were formed. The performance of the materials were as follows upon impact of 1.5 - 3 mm diameter particles driven by a two-stage light gun: in the aluminum alloy, the impact-produced hole diameter increased with increasing target thickness; the tungsten displayed brittle fracture features (severe spallation around the circumference of the crater/hole) and crater/hole walls partially coated with deformed projectile debris; fiber breakage and delamination were observed in the area surrounding the penetration holes in the woven fabric thermoset composites; and brittle fracture features (large ridges emanating from the center and surface spallation) were observed in the silicon carbide.

About FDA
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Critical Path Institute (C-Path) (hereafter termed "the Parties") formalizes an agreement between the two parties to develop collaborative activities in the areas of applied research, training and education to enhance safe and efficacious medical product development. The appropriate formal agreements will be executed as required by law for any activities that result from this collaboration.
I. Purpose
The purpose of this MOU is to renew the overarching framework for collaboration between the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and Critical Path Institute ("C-Path"). This MOU and the collaborative framework it provides will facilitate existing and new mutually agreed upon programs and activities, consortia and consensus development between the Parties. Data and outcomes of said programs may be used by stakeholders to inform medical product development. The Parties intend to leverage their expertise and resources across diverse disciplines including therapeutics, biological sciences, engineering and medical devices, and diagnostics through applied research and training/education programs.
II. Background
The FDA is responsible for reviewing clinical research to ensure that marketed human medical products (drugs, biologics, and medical devices) are safe and effective. In a 2004 white paper now known as the Critical Path Initiative, the FDA called attention to an alarming decline in the number of innovative medical products being submitted for FDA approval. To bridge the gap between basic scientific research and medical product development, the FDA created The Critical Path Initiative with a goal to develop improved testing methods and processes to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new medical products. In 2005, and with a planning grant from the State of Arizona, C-Path was founded as a 501(c) (3) corporation based in Tucson, and with offices in Phoenix, Arizona and Rockville, Maryland.
In 2007, Congress authorized the FDA to enter into Critical Path Public-Private Partnerships in Title VII, Section 603 of H.R. 3580, the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act. This legislation created an opportunity to expand FDA authority and resources to engage in collaborative research and regulatory science through public private partnerships.
Dedicated solely to implementing the FDA's Critical Path Initiative, C-Path has forged key partnerships and created collaborations that include FDA, European and Japanese regulatory agencies and private industry. These consortia create an environment where multiple stakeholders including scientists from academia, industry, government agencies, and non-profit organizations formally agree to share information, develop scientific consensus and make findings available for public use.
III. Substance of Agreement
This MOU may facilitate joint collaboration through public private partnerships with the goal of
developing new evaluative tools to inform medical product development. The areas of collaboration would include but are not limited to:
Consortia: Parties will jointly create and participate in activities of complementary interest that are important to the public health, which may include but are not limited to: imaging, biomarkers and biosignatures, proteomics and genomics, quantitative disease progression models, clinical trial design, and other areas that will enhance medical product development.
This work may be executed through collaborations and consortium activities in public health priority areas such as the:
l) Preventive Safety Testing Consortium
2) Patient Reported Outcomes Consortium
3) Coalition Against Major Diseases Consortium
4) Tuberculosis Regimens Consortium
Training/Education programs: Parties will develop joint activities arising from complementary interests, and offer these activities to academia, industry, and others as identified needs arise. The Parties will disseminate information through mutually agreed vehicles including training activities, meetings, and symposia.
IV. Resource Obligations
This MOU describes in general terms the basis upon which the Parties intend to collaborate. It does not create binding, enforceable obligations against any Party. All activities undertaken pursuant to the MOU are subject to the availability of personnel, resources, and appropriated funds. This MOU supersedes the MOU executed on October l7, 2005, but does not affect the ability of the Parties to enter into other agreements or arrangements related to this MOU.

Race Car Driver Drags Another Driver Outside Of His Car – VIDEO
This is video of race car driver Derek Stoltz dragging competitor Mike Robertson outside his car during a race last Saturday at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston Salem, North Carolina.
Apparently Stoltz collided with Robertson, who wasn't o happy about it, and decided to let Stoltz know it.
Unfortunately for Roberston, Stoltz wasn't in a real talkative mood.

Merkel to stump for Sarko?
- By Kedar PavgiKedar Pavgi is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy is facing a tough reelection campaign as he struggles to contain the unraveling economic situation within the E.U. His opponent, Socialist candidate Francois Hollande is leading in the polls. So who should Sarko call to help him out in his campaign? Why, none other than his good friend, German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Over the weekend, Hermann Gröhe, the general secretary of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) announced that Merkel would appear at campaign events with Sarkozy as he looks to retain his place in L'Elysee. From the Global Post:
"France needs a strong president at its head, and…The UMP and France are in good hands with Nicolas Sarkozy, who has demonstrated foresight," Gröhe said, according to Le Figaro.
Merkel's announcement caught Paris by surprise, least of all because Sarkozy has yet to officially declare his candidacy, Business Insider reported.
The close relationship between "Merkozy" has been well documented, and the two have been at center stage to contain the ongoing debt crisis. Of course, this new arrangement hasn't gone without raising a few eyebrows. In an interview reported by the Wall Street Journal, Sarkozy seemed more embarrassed by the announcement, and questioned if Merkel "voted in France." Though, as the AFP reported, Sarkozy did support Merkel back in 2009 during her own successful reelection campaign.
While the announcement may have caused some talk amongst the chattering classes in Europe, having foreign leaders interject themselves into political campaigns is nothing new. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin had the very vocal backing of then-Ukrainian presidential candidate Victor Yanukovich in 2004. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez' took it upon himself to comment on the 2006 Peruvian election, and the recent election of President Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua.
Merkel is an accomplished leader, but she is far from the "hyper-president" that Sarkozy is, and certainly not the type of campaigner that the French electorate are used to. Perhaps she could take a page out of the Herman Cain playbook and use a Pokemon quote in a speech.

Mark Brand Video
I have worked with Mark Brand Architecture on several projects from 2010 to present. I hired the company in 2010 in order to build a state of the art dental office from a raw space, the end result was incredible. The budget was accurate, the deadlines were spot on and his team conducted themselves with professional conduct and amazing attitudes.
I have continued to work with Mark on several other projects including my personal residence.
We loved working with Mark and his team when we remodeled our home in Mill Valley. They listened to our input, challenging appropriately when needed, and incorporating what we then jointly agreed upon in the design. Mark's team brought numerous good suggestions to the project.Read more ...

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I am just wondering ... Are you just one person?? LOL! I just don't know how in the world you have so much time to sew. Life gets in my way of sewing way too much.
Oooooo, those ARE pretty! You have been a busy person. ANd your quilting is, of course, perfect in every respect. I love this place, such talent just abounds, and your quilts are perfect examples of that.
Ooooo I love them both!!! :D :D :D
both are so pretty and I am so impressed with your quilting. I LOVE your sailboat block. Your delectable mountains are wonderful! I still don't have borders on mine I started years ago. Your beautiful quilts inspire me to get busy. :D
I have health issues that keep me pretty much home bound,and I am un able to do a lot of my house work. I can sit and sew so thats why I have so much time. I am blessed with a wonderful and helpfull hubby.
