Fox Manufactures A Dishonest "War On Coal" Narrative In Ohio
Blog ››› ››› BRIAN POWELL
Coal jobs and coal production in Ohio have increased since 2007, but a Fox News report ignored this fact while claiming that the "universal perception" in Ohio is that the Obama administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) "has made [coal] jobs more scarce." Fox News host Martha MacCallum began the segment by asking, "What has the EPA done to deserve such a bad reputation in this part of Ohio?," which reporter Steve Brown deftly avoided answering.
From the November 1 edition of America's Newsroom:
The report featured plenty of video roll of various "war on coal" yard signs and billboards scattered across southeastern Ohio. But, despite being focused on the community's "universal perception" of the EPA (rather than a reality-based discussion of the coal industry), the report featured no public opinion polls and only a single-question interview with a former coal miner.
Even after Fox News posed the leading question, "Is EPA a dirty word out here?," the interviewee could not articulate any specific EPA actions that have caused harm to his community. In fact, the miner began his answer with a reference to the booming oil and natural gas industry -- a coal competitor that poses a major threat to the coal industry in Ohio regardless of the EPA.
And even as long overdue health regulations from the EPA were enacted, coal jobs and coal production are actually up in Ohio. Politifact Ohio wrote yesterday "jobs and coal production in Ohio have increased" since 2007 "by every measurement we could find."
Avoiding reality to shill for coal industry executives and parrot Republican talking points is nothing new for Fox News. It has been shamefully silent on GOP obstructionism that threatens the health of coal miners and earlier this year, and Fox News starred in a coal industry ad attacking the EPA.

Meanwhile, Carter's 78-year-old daughter Ella Fleming said that her father would not be driving anymore.
As Carter writes, "Within the limits of the energy [Letterman] was now willing to expend, he was still trying."
And the conversion of this onetime supporter of President Carter to a leader of a conservative movement was complete.
"Carter and Obama did indeed come from the far fringes of the American establishment," Carter speechwriter Jerry Doolittle says.
Then Carter saw Mace, ten to fifteen yards in front of the truck, crawling on his elbows, trying to reach them.
She arose as she said this, so Carter had no other alternative than to follow her into the royal presence.
"Ah, sir—Dr. Carter's," returned Gustavus, beginning to tremble.
It was very near the minute appointed for her to meet Carter at the square.
"I guess you've found your enterprise a good deal of work," went on Carter.
Mr. Carter the while sat by, saying nothing, but looking daggers.
"cart-driver," late 12c., from Anglo-French careter, and in part an agent noun from cart (v.).

text: It's hard to believe it has been seven years since Isaiah Washington was fired from Grey's Anatomy. That was an interesting period in the show's history. You had Washington get fired after making homophobic comments about TR Knight which forced TR to come out. Then you had TR and Katherine Heigl both walk away from the show and neither has been the same since. I don't think Katherine and TR speak much either. She was the one who convinced him to go because she didn't want to be the only one. With Sandra Oh leaving at the end of this season Shonda Rhimes decided to bring back her old love interest who left her at the altar for one episode airing in May. It makes sense. One thing I'm wondering though is if this is a one time thing or if Isaiah will get his old job back. The guy has barely worked since being fired and only now landed a gig on the CW in a show called The 100. Shonda giving him this chance is going to open a whole lot of doors that had been closed.

In The News 03-30-2012
Your Weekly Update In The World Of Technology
The Big Break-Up
Phone customers are fickle beings and the stats prove it. According to a study released Monday by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the average phone user drops their carrier and goes to another right after their two-year contract is finished. The new average of 48 months is an all-time low and it has carriers starting to worry and think of new business practices.
The reduction of the customer-carrier relationship is nothing new, but the rate is starting to accelerate. 2010 showed a 59 month average relationship. Since then that number has dropped almost a year. The decline has mostly hit smaller carriers, but carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint are also feeling the pain.
This news may not come as a surprise in an ever-increasingly competitive mobile market. From what phones are offered, to the amount of data that is provided, companies are constantly changing and aiming to provide the "best" options and features for its customers. With the common choice of plans being a 2-year agreement, we may see a slow down in the turnover rate, but that won't stop carriers from being even more competitive.
Hello? Anybody Out There?
In the event you haven't heard of it, news coverage of the Square Kilometer Array has increased over the past week. What is the Square Kilometer Array, or SKA for short, exactly? The SKA is planned to be the world's largest radio telescope with goals of learning more about dark matter, black holes, stars and galaxies, and even the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
The SKA is a combined international effort and to put it simply… it's big. In fact its name is derived from the total collecting area of the 3,000 dish antennas, each at approximately 15 meters in diameter. The total area will equal a square kilometer and its job will be to collect information on radio waves from distant stars and galaxies. Most of the antennas will be located in a core region, while some will be located over an extended area of 3000 kilometers, or 1864 miles. This large area will allow the SKA to be the most sensitive radio telescope in history.
Currently construction is planned to begin in 2016 with two main locations being considered: Western Australia and South Africa. Both locations will ultimately have the array span across their respective continents. The price tag will also come in at a hefty $2 billion.

Through a publicist, Richards declined to comment for this story.
Richards swoops in, telling Brian to record something in the town square, and elopes with Anita in his Bentley.
The eldest of four, Richards says she was a first child "in the good and the bad" ways.
That kind of consensus, Richards enthused, "is so rare in this kind of work!"
It's also much less fraught for Richards to be in that spotlight these days.
The second said, 'Poor Mrs. Richards was so ill: it was the most dreadful thing, she actually threw up a black crow.'
Richards apparently knew how to handle his ship, but as a navigator he was nowhere.
All the survivors then in sight were collected and I gave orders to Lieutenant Richards to keep them together.
They all accepted with the exception of Richards and his wife who refused to leave the Julia.
She looked so bright and happy and promised to visit them if Dr. Richards did not take her home too soon.
masc. proper name, Middle English Rycharde, from Old French Richard, from Old High German Ricohard "strong in rule," from Proto-Germanic *rik- "ruler" (see rich) + *harthu "hard," from PIE *kar-o- (see hard). "One of the most popular names introduced by the Normans. Usually Latinized as Ricardus, the common form was Ricard, whence the pet form Rick, etc." ["Dictionary of English Surnames"]

I am 33 years old and I am goinf to compete on April 22nd 2x5' rounds. I am working on a power strenght schedule since 6 weeks, sparring 2x week mma (3-5 rounds) and grappling 2xweek as well (7-10 rounds).
Yesterday I have had an mma session and, after 3-4 min's I totally gassed out. I had to breath heavily and I was no more able to land shots and to take my opponent down (it should me my main strenght).
I have 6 weeks to the fight and my schedule is now changed. I work with half of the weight I used before in my weightlifting routines and I am going to focus to work more with interval training. My coach says it is normal to be tired now, since I have worked a lot on quantity, but my concern is the lack of gas. Probably I am just overtrained.
Any further suggestion? I am still in time to get the proper physical condition?

He's been flying below the radar since the conclusion of "Gossip Girl," and now Chace Crawford is gearing up for a guest spot on the hit FOX show "Glee."

This is beautiful as far as the predictions go. Titans #3 seed going all the way to the conference championship game, love it. Glad we got some believers. As far as the pick, I'm not a fan of it. I like Trufant but CB isn't a need at all. We have McCourty and Verner as the starters combined with Chris Hawkins who played very well last season, Tommie Campbell who was a rookie last season and has gotten high praise this offseason from teammates and coaches, and we also drafted Coty Sensabaugh in the 4th round this year, so I'd say CB is set. Safety on the other hand could possibly be a need assuming we don't resign Griffin.

If the jags are picking this high that means Gabbert was awful. Noticed no Tyler Wilson but, I think number 5 is a perfect spot for him.

If MN has a top 3 pick , I would hope that they take a QB, maybe Bray or Thomas.
DT is a need, but if the team is picking top 3, QB will clearly be a bigger need.

While I dislike the Eagles, the only way they pick first overall is if Vick gets injured, Foles plays poorly/gets injured as well, and McCoy demands another contract extension.

I knew people would give me talk over the whole eagles deal. I am going to make another mock next week and I will scoot them up higher. Trying to start a bit of controversy and they could pick first. It is mostly just a gut feeling. Vick could get hurt or any other type of injury or anything. They started off 1-4 last year so it is possible, but I will make some changes next week. Not to mention I am a giants fan lol.

I'm not really sold on Star.
I would rather see the vikings trade down and get LB Te'o or CB Rhodes.

If the Titans are picking that late I won't really care what we end up getting
That being said, we're good a CB. We need S, interior OL, and a pass rushing DE.

HypopituitarismPituitary insufficiency
Hypopituitarism is a condition in which the pituitary gland does not produce normal amounts of some or all of its hormones.
The pituitary gland is a small structure that is located just below the brain. It is attached by a stalk to the hypothalamus, the area of the brain that controls its function.
The hormones released by the pituitary gland (and their functions) are:
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) -- stimulates the adrenal gland to release cortisol; cortisol helps to maintain blood pressure and blood sugar
- Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) -- controls water loss by the kidneys
- Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) -- controls sexual function and fertility in males and females
- Growth hormone (GH) -- stimulates growth of tissues and bone
- Luteinizing hormone (LH) -- controls sexual function and fertility in males and females
- Oxytocin -- stimulates the uterus to contract during labor and the breasts to release milk
- Prolactin -- stimulates female breast development and milk production
- Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) -- stimulates the thyroid gland to release hormones that affect the body's metabolism
In hypopituitarism, there is a lack of one or more pituitary hormones. Lack of the hormone leads to loss of function in the gland or organ that it controls. For example, no TSH leads to loss of function in the thyroid gland.
Hypopituitarism may be caused by:
- Brain surgery
- Brain tumor
- Head trauma
- Infections of the brain and the tissues that support the brain
- Radiation
- Stroke
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage (from a burst aneurysm)
- Tumors of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus
Occasionally, hypopituitarism is due to uncommon immune system or metabolic diseases, such as:
- Hemochromatosis
- Histiocytosis X
- Lymphocytic hypophysitis
- Sarcoidosis
Hypopituitarism is also a rare complication after pregnancy, a condition called Sheehan's syndrome.
- Abdominal pain
- Decreased appetite
- Decreased sexual interest (in men)
- Failure to release milk (in women)
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Infertility (in women)
- Lack of sex drive (in women)
- Loss of armpit or pubic hair
- Loss of body or facial hair (in men)
- Low blood pressure
- Sensitivity to cold
- Shortheight (less than 5 feet) if onset is during a growth period
- Slowed growth and sexual development (in children)
- Stoppingof menstrual periods (in women)
- Visionproblems
- Weakness
- Weight loss
Note: Symptoms may develop slowly and may vary greatly, depending upon:
- The number of hormones that are missing and the organs they affect
- The severity of the disorder
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
Exams and Tests
To diagnose hypopituitarism, there must be low hormone levels due to a problem with the pituitary gland. The diagnosis must also rule out diseases of the organ that is affected by this hormone.
Tests include:
- Brain CT scan
- Pituitary MRI
- Serum ACTH
- Serum cortisol
- Serum estradiol (estrogen)
- Serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
- Serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)
- Serum luteinizing hormone (LH)
- Serum testosterone level
- Serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
- Thyroid hormone (T4)
Levels of a pituitary hormone may be high in the bloodstream if you have a pituitary tumor that is producing too much of that hormone. The tumor may crush other cells of the pituitary, leading to low levels of other hormones.
If hypopituitarism is caused by a tumor, you may need surgery to remove the tumor, with or without radiation therapy.
You will need lifelong hormone therapy to replace hormones that are no longer made by organs under the control of the pituitary gland. These may include:
- Corticosteroids (cortisol)
- Growth hormone
- Sex hormones (testosterone for men and estrogen for women)
- Thyroid hormone
Drugs are also available to treat related infertility in men and women.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Hypopituitarism is usually permanent and requires lifelong treatment. However, you can expect a normal life span.
Possible Complications
Side effects of drug therapy can develop. In severe illness, failing to take extra corticosteroids can be life-threatening.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of hypopituitarism.
In most cases, the disorder is not preventable. Awareness of risk may allow early diagnosis and treatment.

Jessica Simpson: A Wedding Breast Reduction?
Is Jessica Simpson considering downsizing her chest in preparation for her wedding to Eric Johnson?
-Lucia Peters
Jessica Simpson has always been known for a particular set of double-D assets, but those assets may be about to go the way of all things: The singer is considering getting a breast reduction. The reason? Her wedding to former NFL player Eric Johnson is fast approaching, and she's worried that her massive chest won't look terribly attractive in a wedding dress. Interesting, no?
While it's possible to dismiss the whole thing with a simple, "Oh, she just wants to look thinner—like EVERYONE ELSE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY," keep in mind that it's far from rare for large-busted women to have breast reductions. Imagine having all that weight strapped to your front. Back pain? Yep. Neck pain? You betcha. Body image issues? Oh yes. An "inside source" has been quoted as saying, "She thinks if she downsizes her breasts, she will look smaller. She's never loved having a huge chest." And this is understandable: Many women with huge breasts feel like they ARE their breasts—and that the world sees them this way, too. You know that old adage of wearing your clothes, not letting them wear you? It can apply to other assets, too. And I can totally understand wanting people not to see you only as your bra size.
Read Awkward Travel Stories: Kris Humphries Stuck On Plane Next to Kim K's Ex
Furthermore, I can't help but wonder if it's taken Jessica this long to opt for a breast reduction simply because she's made her career in an industry where looks really, REALLY matter. The entertainment industry loves big breasts, and it's possible that she, her managers, or any number of other people thought that her boobs were one of her selling points, and that to shrink them down might hurt her career. This, to be blunt, sucks. To be a slave to your chest because of some weird, twisted standard of beauty? Not so good. So if the impetus for Jessica to finally get rid of something that's been negatively impacting her self-image for so long is to look and feel good at her wedding, I say good for her.
Tell us: What do you think about Jessica's decision to go under the knife?

A year after Teddy Roosevelt suffered defeat in his 1912 run for the White House, the audacious adventurer determined to renew his broken spirit with an investigative trip to South America. What began as a relatively mundane float down previously mapped terrain, however, became a much more dangerous journey into the unknown -- an expedition down a locally feared tributary of the Amazon known as the "River of Doubt."
Millard's account of Roosevelt's unprecedented feat propels readers straight into the heart of the Amazon -- a place filled with hazards of every conceivable description. From vines, poisonous snakes, and piranhas to cannibals and duplicitous guides, Roosevelt was forced to bushwhack a path much more perilous than that of 20th-century politics, and faced unspeakable hardships. Poor planning led to improper food supplies and inadequate boats, and a succession of bow-breaking rapids meant days lugging supplies through the dense jungles.
Roosevelt and his fellow explorers faced constant illness and disease, fear of attack from hostile tribes, drowning, starvation, and even mutiny within their own ranks. A raging, flesh-eating infection that reached its peak at the most treacherous point in the journey brought Roosevelt himself to the brink of death. But the expedition's labors would forge a new map of the world as well as a previously unplumbed strength of character, necessary for survival. (Holiday 2005 Selection)

Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados overcame turnovers in their first two possessions, before rallying behind seniors Michael Crumbaker and Derek Church on their way to 39-13 halftime lead, defeating the visiting Edward Waters College Tigers in Brevard's 2010 home opener at Asheville High School, 53-27.
Brevard's (1-0) rushing attack led the way for the Tornados as the team recorded 331 yards on the ground, picking up 15 of their 20 first downs through carries. Freshman Kelvin Jeter opened up his collegiate career with a big game, gaining 121 yards on five carries to go with a touchdown, while preseason All-SAC second teamer Neville Bryce also broke the century mark, gaining 110 yards on 14 carries, while finding the end zone once. Church and Crumbaker also crossed the goal line twice for the Tornados on the ground as five Tornados ball carriers reached the end zone.
Through the air, Crumbaker was picked off in his first pass attempt, but responded with a six completions in nine attempts stat line for 128 yards and a touchdown, with junior Eric Watts the recipient of three of those passes for 66 yards. Senior placekicker Chase Henry added five extra points in the game to surpass John Taylor's record and become the modern BC scoring leader, with 94 points in his career as a Tornado.
On the defensive side of the ball, Christian Lumbu led the Tornados with eight tackles in the game from his defensive end position, while Chris Spencer, Salonik Amos and Rufus Jenkins each recorded five stops. Phillip Curcio also recorded a fumble recovery for the Tornados in the contest in his first collegiate start for Brevard.
Edward Waters' offensive attack was led by sophomore quarterback Brandon Turman as he went 18 of 28 through the air with a touchdown. Junior wide receiver Samuel Charles was his favorite target on the afternoon, snaring five passes for 35 yards, while senior Antonio Bellamy had three catches for 78 yards, including a 64 yard pitch and catch for a touchdown. On the ground, Antoine Nabors led all Tigers rushers with 20 yards and a score and Turman also found the end zone on the ground with a one-yard plunge.
Defensively, Edward Waters was led by sophomore Ashlon Smith as the sophomore led all tacklers in the game with 12 stops in the contest. Betram Balfour was the recipient of the lone interception in the contest and also had a fumble recovery in the end zone for a touchdown for EWC, while Rashaan Barton also added a fumble recovery.
The Tornados won the opening coin toss and elected to receive, but after a three-yard loss by Jeter, Brevard took to the air, where Crumbaker's first pass of the season was tipped and picked off by Balfour, giving the visitors their first possession of the game. The Tornados defense held the Tigers to a three-and-out on defense and Jerry Martin's punt landed inside the Tornados 10-yard line, where it was fumbled by Jeter and the Tigers pounced, with Balfour landing on the ball in the end zone to put Edward Waters up early, 7-0.
The ensuing kickoff was a short one collected by Church at the Brevard 29, and the senior fullback rumbled his way up field, shedding several tacklers before finally being brought down on the Edward Waters 35 yard-line. Four straight runs by the Tornados, including an 18-yard scamper down the left sideline by Jeter led to Crumbaker's first touchdown of the game, a five-yard quarterback keeper as Brevard evened the score with 10:44 to play in the first quarter.
A second three-and-out by the Brevard starting defense led to great field position for the BC offense as the Tornados were awarded the ball on the EWC 35-yard line following a personal foul after Martin's punt. The Tornados again capitalized, striking quickly as Church found a hole in the defense and carried the ball all the way into the end zone for a 32-yard score, putting Brevard up by seven.
Edward Waters put together their first drive of the game in their next possession, marching down the field in 10 plays, covering 56 yards capped off by Turman's one-yard sneak to bring the score back within one, but a failed two-point conversion kept the Tornados ahead with 3:12 left in the quarter, 14-13.
Brevard's next drive also found pay-dirt as the Tornados took their drive down the field, pounding away at the defense with 10 straight running plays before capitalizing on Bryce's three-yard plunge, but Henry's extra-point attempt was pushed wide, keeping the score at 20-13.
Turman took to the air in the next Tigers' possession, marching Edward Waters down the field to the Brevard 18-yard line with a series of swing passes and drop-offs to his tailback as the Tigers converted two third-downs, however a miscommunication between Turman and his tailback led to a fumble which was recovered by Curcio at the Brevard 27 to end the drive.
On this next possession, the Tornados overcame a long gain negated by a holding penalty as Jeter took the ball and went 63 yards down the right sideline for the first touchdown of his collegiate career and put the Tornados up 26-13 with 7:05 remaining in the opening half.
Brevard would score twice more in the first half as Church again found the end zone with a six-yard carry and Crumbaker and Watts connected with a three-yard fade in the right corner of the end zone as the teams went into the locker room with the score 39-13 in favor of Brevard.
In the second half, Crumbaker led the Tornados on a 10-play drive in their opening possession, before scoring on a one-yard keeper to put the score at 46-13, but Edward Waters responded in the first play their next possession as Turman found Bellamy on a crossing pattern and the senior broke several tackles on his way to a 64-yard score to put the score at 46-19.
Xavier Johnson found the end zone for the final Tornados score with 5:01 left in the third quarter, rushing for three yards off the left tackle and Nabors carried the ball in from 10 yards out for the final score of the game for the Tigers as Brevard opened the 2010 season with a 53-27 victory.
Brevard continues the 2010 season on the road, as they head to Boiling Springs, N.C. to take on FCS opponent, Gardner-Webb University on Saturday, September 4th. Kickoff for the game between the Tornados and the Runnin' Bulldogs is set for 6 p.m. in Spangler Field.

I am very distressed over what the President said on this video. It shows a profound disrespect for God and for the American people.
He is one of those folks who "haven't been reading their Bible." He doesn't know the meaning of the following verse. But I think that he's beginning to experience it.
Be not deceived. God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7
Anybody who wants mock God is free to do so. But, they have to take everything that goes with it, which is, of course, the judgment of God. But what about us, the people of America?
Are we being judged for what our President does? I sure looks like it. Look at the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It's destroying the livelihoods of many Americans, and destroying the earth. But it's just another one of a long list of catastrophies that have taken place on President Obama's watch. It looks like his mouth is overloading our behinds.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Proverbs 29:2

Chatham County Special Needs Registry (In the Event of Hurricane Evacuation)
In the event of a major storm hitting our area, you may require transportation and/or special medical assistance during a hurricane evacuation if you have no other resources such as family, friends, neighbors or church members who can help you. Those on this registry will be evacuated to an American Red Cross shelter (not a hotel) that will likely be a gym or similar setting. It is important for the county to know where the most vulnerable residents are so they can provide needed help in the event of a severe storm. Individuals who should apply for this registry include those who may need services to maintain their independence in a shelter: children and adults with physical, sensory, mental health, and cognitive or intellectual disabilities affecting their ability to function independently without assistance. Others who should apply: women in late stages of pregnancy, the elderly, and people needing bariatric equipment.
To register you can call 912-353-3255 or visit www.gachd.org/emergency-preparedness
It is important to note that people living in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and personal care homes are NOT eligible for this Functional Medical and Needs registry and must follow their facility's emergency plan.

Carpal tunnel biopsyBiopsy - carpal tunnel
Carpal tunnel biopsy is a test in which a small piece of tissue is removed from the carpal tunnel (part of the wrist).
How the Test is Performed
The skin of your wrist is scrubbed and injected with medicine that numbs the area. Through a small cut, a sample of tissue is removed from the carpal tunnel. This is done by direct removal of tissue or by needle aspiration.
Sometimes this procedure is performed at the time of carpal tunnel release.
How to Prepare for the Test
Your doctor or nursemay ask that you not eat anything for a few hours before the test.
How the Test Will Feel
You may feel some stinging or burning when the numbing medicine is injected. You may also feel some pressure or tugging during the procedure. Afterward, the area may be tender or sore for a few days.
Why the Test is Performed
This test is usually done to see if you have a condition called amyloidosis. It is not usually done to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome.
Normal Results
No abnormal tissues are found.
What Abnormal Results Mean
An abnormal result is a sign of amyloidosis.
- Bleeding
- Damage to the nerve in this area
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
If the carpal tunnel biopsy reveals a problem, your health care provider may suggest a carpal tunnel release procedure. Additional surgery to correct or improve the problem may be recommended.

Your Two Favorite Educators
As Emily and Aubrey look back over the week they use their razor sharp wit to discuss QR Codes revisited and Bring it On!
1. Why is it so significant to choose tech for the classroom that can be used in a variety of ways?
Emily: Students learn in different ways. Providing flexibility in assignments, materials, texts, and technology is important to help students learn more effectively.
Aubrey: I think "flexible" tech provides teachers the ability to become experts. Part of what scares all of us away from using technology in the classroom is whether or not we can use it again and again. If the answer is no, I'll never use this medium again why bother? I want applications that can serve in a variety of capacities.
2. Why is it important that we revisit past lessons we've share via www.wheretheclassroomends.com ?
Emily: I think it is extremely important. When working on a post I am often overwhelmed with everything I could incorporate. As a result, there are many weeks when I say to myself "I'll just have to do another week of this topic." I think it is really important to revisit QR codes (and really anything technology based). Technology keeps expanding and our knowledge of how to use it in the classroom keeps expanding. It isn't like teaching Shakespeare, which never changes. Technology evolves so rapidly that we need to keep presenting ideas and ways to incorporate it into the classroom.
Aubrey: I feel the same way. Revisiting areas of focus proves that culture, technology, current events–all of it plays a huge part in what shapes a humanities class is shaped. I would be worried if we didn't revisit ideas and lessons.
3. Does the QR code enhance daily life? Or, is it simply a detractor that provides too much extra and unnecessary information for the individual?
Emily: It certainly makes things easier. However, I don't think they "provide too much extra and unnecessary information." Instead, my biggest fear with QR codes is just how easy it makes research. QR codes make me curious about the ways in which students' research abilities could be compromised. Of course, this is years away and achieved through more things than just QR codes, but it is a long-term concern of mine.
Aubrey: Love it. Don't care if it provides me with too much information. I want to know everything if only for a second. Now, it is clear to me that after I look up this information I will immediately forget it and then be forced to look it up again later on. This matters very little to me. I need to know.
4. Are QR codes just a fad?
Emily: I know I'm not supposed to say this, but I do think they are a fad. They keep popping in and out of trend reports. I feel like they are seen more now but dwindled in use in the winter months. I like the efficiency of them and think they are helpful in navigating directly to a page but just don't know how lasting they are.
Aubrey: Actually I think they're a fad too. I'm fairly certain we won't be talking about them in 10 years. They are a fun little gadget and they're good for directing students to material but I do find them somewhat ugly.
5. This week I've provided several model assignments focusing on student choice and QR codes. Please participate in the model lesson below.
Pop Culture via QR Codes
Please choose one of the QR codes below. Review the material and construct a response that identifies the tone and big picture importance.
Emily: I choose QR code #2: Bring It On the Musical. This play came to Chicago and I begged my friends to go with me. They refused. I am now without the musical interludes of Torrence Shipman. I will never forgive them for this. I can't focus on the tone because I'm blinded by how perfect the musical is. It highlights the capitalistic nature of our society through the rise of a poor school being able to compete at Nationals. Bring It On is the true American classic. Bottom line.
Aubrey: Hah! I knew you'd choose two. I on the other hand am much more interested in Adam Levine & Christina Aguilera's feud. Don't tell anyone but I like to watch The Voice. Usually in secret. It's shameful but there you have it.

Foreclosures, which for years have been synonymous with the Inland Empire, are becoming less of a presence in the region's housing market.
The Inland Empire was widely called the foreclosure capital of the nation for a few years following the housing boom. From January of 2007 to December of 2008, repossessed homes on the market went from 57 to 4,664 in San Bernardino County.
Today there are 317, according to Jerry Gusman with Realty Executive Experts in Rancho Cucamonga, a real estate radio show host who gave a presentation on the market for the Southern California Real Estate Investors Association in Ontario this summer.
Redlands, Loma Linda and San Bernardino had 383 active home listings on Friday and just 26 were foreclosures and 70 short sales.
In April, San Bernardino and Riverside counties had the most foreclosure activity in any of the nation's 20 largest metropolitan areas.
Where was the Inland Empire in 2009?
Back then, 75 percent of the inventory was distressed - either foreclosed or short sold.
"Foreclosures on the market have dried up significantly," said Donald L. Mowery II, owner of 1 Advanced Realty and Appraisal Inc. in Upland.
The decline in foreclosures is also the case in San Bernardino County's West End.
Rancho Cucamonga, Upland and Ontario had a combined 371 active listings. Of those, 29 were foreclosures, 66 were short sales.
"The foreclosure market is hot,' said Todd Picconi, an agent with Blackstone Realty in Rancho Cucamonga. "When we see a foreclosure come on the market now, it's a parade house."
Mowery offers four reasons for the decrease in foreclosures:
Investors are buying the majority of the property in auctions on steps of Inland Empire courthouses. The houses are not even turning into foreclosure listings.
Fannie Mae now allows bulk sale purchases to large investors. For example, an investment company just bought 970 homes in one transaction in the the U.S. Southwest. Large investors either rent out or flip the homes.
Lenders are making good on offers for substantial loan modifications.
The convenience of cash buyers.
So when a foreclosed home makes its way onto the market, investors flush with cash are ready to pounce.
But if you are a regular buyer, don't get your hopes up that you'll be able to grab a sweet deal.
"Investors are getting them," said Lon Mapes, owner of Orangehill Realty and president of LDM Commercial Brokerage in Redlands. "Somebody buying with an FHA, putting 3.5 percent down, is going to have a very hard time buying a foreclosure because the inventory is so low. Cash is king."
But when investors buy the houses, the consequence is an increase in rental homes and a decrease in owner occupancy.
"Eighty to 90 percent of the time, if you're buying cash, you're an investor," Picconi said. "Most of them are buying to rent, not flip.
"Investors are also buying some standard sale properties, if the numbers make sense for a positive cash flow using it as a rental. The rate of return is better than with (some other investments)."
A high percentage of owner occupancy is good for property values, so it may be a logical conclusion that investor-dominated activity will impede the real-estate market's recovery in the area, but Mowery says the low inventory is countering the effect so far.
"Those rentals have not come to market yet," he said, "but eventually the supply of rentals is going to impact the market. It hasn't yet."
Turning the houses into rentals by investors also contributes to the overall low inventory and decrease in owner-occupied homes.
"In a healthy real-estate market," said Redlands real-estate agent Patricia Hicks, "we should have about six months' inventory. The last 90 days we have only a two-month supply of homes."

I was in the Pacific Ocean miles from shore. It was dark and cold. The boat was rolling back and forth. My stomach was churning. It was all I could do to keep from doing you know what overboard.
We had been on the open sea for almost seven hours Tuesday night and all I could ask myself was, "What am I doing here?"
Then the answer came. It was like a gray ghost gliding quietly by in the misty morning air: the USS Iowa, BB61, once one of the world's most powerful battleships. The ship is almost as long as three football fields and weighs more than 57 tons. And there wasn't anyone on board the great ship. What a sight!
I had left the Marina Shipyard with 11 men with stronger stomachs than mine at 10 p.m. Tuesday. The idea was to meet up with the mighty Iowa as it was being towed from San Francisco and shadow the ship to its temporary anchorage 3 miles offshore from Long Beach. We were in an 85-foot "crash" boat designed for the Army Air Force as a high-speed offshore rescue boat used in World War II.
Of the 140 crash boats of that size built, most were converted to fishing craft or yachts. Only one, P-520 - the boat I was on - has been restored to its original configuration by Bud Trotter and his son Jerry, owners of the Marina Shipyard at 6400 Marina Drive.
Our stalwart group was led by Nate Jones, owner of Jones Tires in Signal Hill and one of the founders and directors of the Pacific Battleship Center, a nonprofit organization which, after years of struggle, lobbied and won the bid to permanently berth the ship in San Pedro.
After several hours of rolling with the waves in P-520, someone shouted excitedly, "There she is!" For a moment, I was too groggy to enjoy the sight, but it didn't take long to forget the nausea and join in the applause. We were the first to welcome the battleship to offshore Long Beach and Seal Beach.
Jones was especially moved. He called Marge, his wife, and Mildred, his 97-year-old mother, on his cellphone to tell them everything was going OK.
"I've been on the Iowa, but this is the first time I've seen her on the open sea in my hometown, Long Beach, the city I love. This is so special," Jones said.
Others applauding on P-520 included John O'Flaherty, Larry Schlich and Nate Jones Jr., who works with his father; Jeff Ryan and Tony Wesson, who work for Marina Shipyard; Don Broker and Glenn Dobbs, longtime friends of the Shipyard's Tretters; David Rosner, a professional videographer; and Jeff Stickler, president/CEO, Catalina Adventure Tours.
Jerry Tretter captained the boat despite suffering from an infection following foot surgery. During the night, he had to get an IV injection to keep his strength up.
"That's real dedication," Jones said, patting Tretter on the back. Tretter's father, Bud, had wanted to go too, but he had a more serious illness and couldn't make it.
Bud Tretter was assigned to a crash boat during the Korean War along with a pal, Joe Placente, who flew from his home in Tom's River, N.J., to be aboard P-520.
After the initial sighting and hurrahs by the crew, news helicopters showed up, followed by media and sightseeing boats.
While waiting for the Iowa to drop anchor, Jones talked about how he fell in love with battleships, especially the USS Missouri and the Iowa.
"I got hooked on battleships when I was 10 years old and went to the Long Beach Naval Shipyard to see the USS Missouri," he said. "An officer took us all over the ship. I became a Missouri junkie and got a chance to actually steer the ship years later in the open sea. I was so nervous I froze at the wheel. It was an awesome experience."
Jones and others tried to get the Missouri, and later the Iowa, to berth in Long Beach, but those efforts fell through.
But Jones and the Pacific Battleship Center succeeded with the Iowa going to San Pedro, where they want to establish the battleship as a museum for its educational, historical and financial benefit.
Jones is especially interested in using the Iowa and the P-520 in his nonprofit work teaching young people hands-on skills such as mechanics (the organization is called Kids, Hands and Minds Together).
"Too many young people don't know how to use their hands to do things," he said. "They're afraid to get their hands dirty."
As the Iowa anchored for three to four days for hull cleaning before moving to San Pedro, the sun finally broke through and the P-520 and its exhilarated crew headed for its berth after a memorable night at sea.

|Information for:
|Campus Communicators
Auburn University assistant nursing professor Libba McMillan has turned what was once a simple class assignment into a way to provide nursing students a chance to use their classroom knowledge to influence people across campus.
During the fall semester, McMillan had students in the Professional Concepts in Nursing course research various health topics facing military veterans returning home and translate that new knowledge into a 10-page paper and a poster for possible use on campus.
"The goal isn't for students to be professional graphic designers, but rather to be able to communicate to different audiences via various mediums," McMillan said. "This ability to be versatile is important for future nurses as the health care system becomes more patient-centered."
Nursing student Jake Ray admitted he had no idea that Auburn enrolled nearly 300 military veterans and more than 400 dependents of veterans, or had a Veterans Resource Center. He also knew little about veterans and traumatic brain injuries.
"You don't really think about anything when they come home, except for post-traumatic stress disorder because that's the only thing you really hear about," he said. "But there is so much more than that.
"I think I'll be more conscious now of the different problems they could have and that will be a good thing to take with me."
Johnny Green, director of the Veterans Resource Center, appreciated the work done by McMillan's class so much, he asked to use a number of the posters at the center's new office, 217 Foy Hall.Ā Some of them also have been used for display outside the university.
"These are all issues that I have encountered with our veterans," he said. "I think our veterans will appreciate the posters because they can see that people do understand what's going on with them and it makes it a little bit more bearable. They're not as shy about seeking help."
Posters covered various topics such as PTSD, depression, drug abuse, animal-assisted therapy, phantom limb pain and suicide.
"I chose the veterans topic this year because I really wanted the students to be able to identify and understand the perspective of a different group, to really increase their understanding and exposure to the types of patients they are going to be interfacing with when they get out in their jobs and also in their clinical experience," said McMillan.
For the past few semesters, McMillan has worked with Eric Smith, director of Auburn's Office of Health Promotion and Wellness Services, to use the class project to address various students' health issues across campus.
"The posters represent the ability to translate this massive information into a concise message that captures what our patients can understand in a limited amount of time, and also what the public can understand," she said.
At a Young Life camp last summer, nursing student Katherine Whitmore met military veterans who struggled to leave the regimented military lifestyle behind to once again interact with their children or spouses. Between that experience and researching PTSD for class, she said she is more knowledgeable and confident in her ability to impact the care of this population as a nurse.
"I definitely feel like this project will help me in the future, mostly by understanding other people, what they're going through and definitely for having a good appreciation of how I can help the veterans who have given so much to us," said Whitmore. "I'm really thankful for this project."

I have some experience on Linux, but not much. But I need to use Kismet to gather statistics on the use of WEP and WPA. Kismet does see networks. The next step is to connect my GPS to Kismet. I have googled and youtube'd for days. And I am not much wiser. I do need some guidance.
Articles and forums tell me that I need to find it in BackTrack first. Ok. I haven't the slightest clue as to where to look for it. But my google quest has brought me to this.
command: lsusb
answer: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1390:5454 TOMTOM B.V
also: If my GPS stops after a while and I restart it, everything in this command stays the same except Device which can change.
Further googling and BackTrack forums gives me this:
"This is so easy. All you have to do is "dmesg" and there you go". Ok.
command: dmesg | less
answer: pages and pages.
Question: What am I looking for? Bus? Device? TOMTOM? ID? I certainly cannot find TOMTOM.
Yet, further googling gives me this:
"Usually it's at /dev ttyUSB0". Ok. I have no ttyUSB0.
Question? Is this what I want? Or need? Do I have to make a ttyUSB0 or can it be somewhere else?
For the fun of it, I did try a "/etc/init.d/gpsd stop .. and restart and it seemed like the GPS connected in some way with a JSON response.
I did do a ls command on gps and gpsd and there are plenty of pages that pop up. So I guess everything is installed for this to work.
For the experienced this is probably simple. Or at least they might know what to search for or the correct google strings to get somewhere. I have tried plenty. Googling, YouTubing, different forums including BackTrack and Kismet.
Please, guide me in the right direction. What am I looking for?
Using a Toshiba Satellite M645 with BackTrack 5 R1 installed on the harddrive. KDE 64-bit.
GPS is a TomTom (1005 - Norwegian number).
The end result is off course that it connects to Kismet. Yes, I have read the forum rules and right now, Kismet is not the problem. Finding it in BackTrack is the main priority.
Thank you for responding. I did come across this tutorial and I thought YES! And the first thing it says is that to get the GPS module assigned and activated we need to do the folowing command:
command: gpsd -N -n -D 3 /dev/ttyUSB0
answer: gpsd: device open failed: No such file or directory
answer: GPS device /dev/ttyUSB0 nonexistent or can't be read
Like I stated earlier; lsusb with the GPS insertet gives me one extra line
" Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1390:5454 TOMTOM B.V. " where the device number can change.
I did get a hint on another forum. DMESG with and without the GPS inserted and find the difference.
I did. I don't quite know what I am searching for, so no chance for a grep. But I copied the text unto
KWrite, side by side and found identical lines and deleted. After hm... 8 hours I ended up with these extra lines of text, extra in the dmesg with GPS inserted.
" Magic number: 15:728:249 " They where in both, but the number was different.
" acpi device:5f: hash matches "
" Freeing unused kernel memory: 1760k freed "
" usb 2-1.2: new high speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd "
" cdc_ether 2-1.2:1.0: usb0: register 'cdc_ether' at usb-0000:00=1d.0-1.2 CDC Ethernet Device, 02:04:06:08:0a:0c "
"usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether "
So, lsusb gives me Device 003 and DMESG gives me device number 3 and I have a line of text saying usb0.
I am still not sure what to do with this, but at least there is a USB0.
Then, reaching for straws, I googled ehci_hcd and cdc_ether. And somewhere along the search there was a
command: config -a which showed USB0. So I tried.
And amongst eth0 and wlan0 comes USB0. YIPPI.
USB0 comes when the GPS is connected. And nothing when the GPS is not connected.
But there is no /dev/ttyUSB0. There is also no rfcomm0 which Kismet shows.
And when I do a;
command: "locate tty" or anything else inside dev, tons of things pop up.
command: "locate USB0" or rmfcomm0, nothing. The cursor moves to the next line and waits for further instructions.
But I know USB0 exists, which is a step in the right direction. I did get one of those silly AHA experiences doing this. Inserting and taking out the GPS, nodding and hmmm, ok. So I am guessing that whatever connects to the USB port first, becomes a USB0. And for now, that's the GPS. Ans lsusb gives me TOMTOM.
So I am doing my homework. Googling and YouTubing. But not quite sure where to take it from here. Where is USB0 located in my system? Why not in /dev? Why do I need it?
And now that I know the answer to the extra lines of text is DMESG, I thought I would grep my KWrite file, just to see what would pop up if I grep'ed the ubs0. But the file need an ending. But all it states is that it's a plain text file. Haven't tried .ptf, but nothing seems to work. I tried googling that too, but haven't put too much energy into it yet. My Linux skills are horrible, but I am getting there, and finally using the tab button to have Linux write out the words for me.
So, like I said, Thank You for your advice. Much appreciated, but even though I have come a bit further, I still need some guidance.
Did you try:
gpsd -N -n -D 3 /dev/USB0
also try ls /dev |more and what is there.
Disclaimer I have no GPS devices
I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss
Pretty sure your tomtom isn't going to work, actually I can pretty much guarantee it. You need a gps that outputs nmea data.
Here's a good list to choose from. Should be able to pick one up pretty cheap on flea-bay.

Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Bofh28: Thanks. I did try it but to it was still a no-go.
Barry: You are absolutely right. I did eventually find this page, but I wish I had found it sooner. I bought my TOMTOM only to use for wardriving. I looked around the internet and talked to other people. My conclusion was that since it was brand new it would work. But that was purely my mistake. I didn't search well enough and I didn't talk to the right people. And since this wardriving project is part of a bachelor project which has a ending date in the end of the year, I panicked a little. So, I have now bought the ND-100s, which is on this page, and it came yesterday. It's on USB0. Now I got to try to get it to work with Kismet. I think the conf file is correct. And I do get a JSON connect. But "GPS not connected". So I'll search a little more. But thank you for the effort. I am at least getting closer.

God, I love this part
Yes, you learn by the wasted hours doing things the hm.. "hashes" way. When you don't quite know what to search for, that's what you end up with. Anyway, I have eventually learned that the 8 hours could have been reduces to a few seconds with "dmesg | tail".I did get a hint on another forum. DMESG with and without the GPS inserted and find the difference.

Just mentioning it, BackTrack is working fine with ALFA external network card and GPS. I have scanned the access points needed and this part of my project is finished. Now they have to be analyzed by Wireshark and then set up a testlab with Aircrack-ng towards my own router and the practical parts of my bachelor project is done.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by The Realist, Dec 17, 2012.
1) Kwann Short NT
2) Kahled Holmes C
3) Stepfan Taylor RB
4) Margus Hunt DE
5) Michael Williams TE
Short is not a NT in a 3-4. Have you seen him play, if anything in a 34 he would be a pass rushing DE. Plays to high and doesn't hold blocks. Much more if a gap shooting 43 DT.
Last time I checked we have zero pass rushing 3-4 DE's.
Gotta say I think both of your first 2 picks would be reaches. And sc8 is right, short isn't a NT. In the NFL, if he's successfull, I see him doing so at less than the 320 he's listed at.
Holmes is only ok. As nauseating as it sounds, I'd go with Costa/Cook in 2013 and draft a guard in round 2 over taking Holmes in round 2 (would consider him later (rated as a mid third rounder by CBS).
RB I could do without. I'd rather get a vet in free agency or if he's cheap enough, I'd re-sign felix over drafting one in round 3.
Hunt is a guy a lot of people like. I'd be willing to take a flier in round 4.
And I would be slightly disappointed if we took Williams in round 5. Blocking TEs usually go very low or undrafted. I'd rather sign a cheap one in free agency.
Hatcher. He isn't a great pass rushing DE, but he's good at it. unfortunately that's it.
Agreed, but I think OL and NG are higher up on the need list. If that dude is there and is far and away better then the next best guy, we should take him though.
I don't hate the Short pick as much as most. He's definitely an end, but he's got some very impressive athleticism for a man of his size. Would be a welcomed addition to the defense.
Do hate the Holmes pick though. I honestly don't think he would beat out Costa in camp next year for the starting C job.
Would absolutely love Taylor and Hunt is my pet cat of this draft so obviously a great pick in my book.
I have been very limited with my ability to research these players lately, but let me throw my mock in there.
1. T. Lewan, OT.
2. C. Lemonier, OLB.
3. Will Sutton, DT.
4. K. Holmes, C.
5. S. Ware, RB.
In this situation, we have released Free, re-signed Spencer, and have added a veteran guard, and a safety in free agency. Ware is getting up in age, so we need depth at OLB. Will Sutton is undersized, but could be a real steal in the third as a rush end. Lewan is Free's replacement. I don't love Holmes, but maybe there's something there to develop. In the two games I watched, I liked Spencer Ware.
This would be a pretty bad draft tbh.. Top 2 picks are reaches, and Short is not a NT. Hopefully we trade back in the first and pick up another 2nd, and then go O-Line with the first pick and O-Line and NT in the 2nd. Then more D-Line, S and RB with the remaining picks.
Have to LOL those that think Costa is better then Holmes. Or even close. Now I think costa is STRONGER then Holmes but that is the only area. Holmes is quick and precise and moves very well. Costa does none of those
But you have him as a NT. I wouldn't mind him as a DE.
I'd have no problem taking Holmes round 3 or after. I see him by the end of 2013 being better than the trash they currently have at C.
Since we switched to 3-4 we have targeted exactly one 2 gap run stuffing NT, and that was a 6th round dude out of Louisville. We have looked at guys who are more athletic, and that have position and scheme versatility.
G, etc higher priorities? Yes, hence we don't have JJ Watt lined up next to Ware.
If Ratt/Lissemore can play 3-4 NT, I think Short could adapt too. Then you would have 3 or 4+ DL that can get after the QB....Hatch, Short, Lissemore....Rat, Crawfish.
Holmes a reach in the 50's?
Come on man!
Most early reports are that Khaled Holmes is a third-round prospect at best.
Beware of the "early" rankings.
From 2012:
(nflds early rank) Actual Pick
(64) 19 Shea McClellin
(77) 237 Cam Johnson
(109) 15 Bruce Irvin
(180) 54 Ryan Broyles
(199) 36 Derek Wolfe
(285) 129 Miles Burris
I like the idea of a dlineman in the first round, just not as high on Short. He seems to be a guy who disappears for stretches.
Holmes in the second is a large reach. Barrett Jones might drop into the second round and would be a far better option.
I like Taylor as an every down back, and the Cowboys obviously need a backup to Murray, who is not a guy you can count on for sixteen games.
Hunt in the fourth is well worth the risk. Though they should nab another olb, as this draft is very deep in quality players who might eventually replace Spencer.
Guy named Demarcus Ware was a 4th rounder at best in early draft rankings.
If yall want a NT in the first round then Jonathan Jenkins out of Georgia will probably be right in your range on draft day
why did you not include the 6th round?
I would prefer DT Brandon Williams in the 5th. But since you picked Short and Hunt, I can see why you didn't go DL in the 5th.
I got bored at 5 and I thought we were missing a 6 but had a 7.

Well Done to Nisar who was promoted to Brown Belt tonight by Wilson Junior.
Nisar has been training for 8 years and is an old school member of the team.
He has been coaching at Carlson Gracie Camberley since he was awarded his Purple Belt and the success of that group rests largely on his shoulders.
An honourable man,always ready to help people,and also always ready to triangle people.He is a credit to our team and i consider him to be a firm friend and training partner.Just sparring with Nisar has helped me develop my own game and i feel privileged to be on the same team as him.
