text: Price From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For people whose family name is Price see Price (disambiguation). In economics and business, the price is the assigned numerical monetary value of a good, service or asset. The concept of price is central to microeconomics where it is one of the most important variables in resource allocation theory (also called price theory). Price is also central to marketing where it is one of the four variables in the marketing mix that business people use to develop a marketing plan. Conventional definition In ordinary usage, price is the quantity of payment or compensation for something. People may say about a criminal that he has 'paid the price to society' to imply that he has paid a penalty or compensation. They may say that somebody paid for his folly to imply that he suffered the consequence. Economists view price as an exchange ratio between goods that pay for each other. In case of barter between two goods whose quantities are x and y, the price of x is the ratio y/x, while the price of y is the ratio x/y. This however has not been used consistently, so that old confusion regarding value frequently reappears. The value of something is a quantity counted in common units of value called numeraire, which may even be an imaginary good. This is done to compare different goods. The unit of value is frequently confused with price, because market value is calculated as the quantity of some good multiplied by its nominal price. Theory of price asserts that the market price reflects interaction between two opposing considerations. On the one side are demand considerations based on marginal utility, while on the other side are supply considerations based on marginal cost. An equilibrium price is supposed to be at once be equal to marginal utility (counted in units of income)from the buyer's side and marginal cost from the seller's side. Though this view is accepted by almost every economist, and it constitutes the core of mainstream economics, it has recently been challenged seriously. There was time when people debated use-value versus exchange value, often wondering about the Diamond-Water Paradox. The use-value was supposed to give some measure of usefulness, later refined as marginal benefit (which is marginal utility counted in common units of value)while exchange value was the measure of how much one good was in terms of another, namely what is now called relative price. That debate is no longer useful in talking about price. Relative and Nominal Price The difference between nominal price and relative or real price (as exchange ratio) is often made. Nominal price is the price quoted in money while relative or real price is the exchange ratio between real goods regardless of money. The distinction is made to make sense of inflation. When all prices are quoted in terms of money units, and the prices in money units change more or less proportionately, the ratio of exchange may not change much. In the extreme case, if all prices quoted in money change in the same proportion, the relative price remains the same. It is now becoming clear that the distinction is not useful and indeed hides a major confusion. The conventional wisdom is that proportional change in all nominal prices does not affect real price, and hence should not affect either demand or supply and therefore also should not affect output. The new criticism is that the crucial question is why there is more money to pay for the same old real output. If this question is answered, it will show that dynamically, even as the real price remains exactly the same, output in real terms can change, just because additional money allow additional output to be traded. The supply curve can shift such that at the old price, the new higher output is sold. This shift if not possible without additional money. From this point of view, a price is similar to an opportunity cost, that is, what must be given up in exchange for the good or service that is being purchased. The price of an item is also called the price point, especially where it refers to stores that set a limited number of price points. For example, Dollar General is a general store or "five and dime" store that sets price points only at even amounts, such as exactly one, two, three, five, or ten dollars (among others). Other stores (such as dollar stores, pound stores, euro stores, 100-yen stores, and so forth) only have a single price point ($1, £1, €1, ¥100), though in some cases this price may purchase more than one of some very small items. Marxian price theory In Marxian economics, it is argued that price theory must be firmly grounded in the real history of economic exchange in human societies. Money-prices are viewed as the monetary expression of exchange-value. Exchange-value can however also be expressed in trading ratios between quantities of different types of goods. In Marxian economics, the increasing use of prices as a convenient way to measure the economic or trading value of labor-products is explained historically and anthropologically, in terms of the development of the use of money as universal equivalent in economic exchange. However, in an anthropological-historical sense, Marxian economists argue a "price" is not necessarily a sum of money; it could be whatever the owner of a good gets in return, when exchanging that good. Money prices are merely the most common form of prices. Marxian economists distinguish very strictly between real prices and ideal prices. Real prices are actual market prices realised in trade. Ideal prices are hypothetical prices which would be realised if certain conditions would apply. Most equilibrium prices are hypothetical prices, which are never realised in reality, and therefore of limited use, although notional prices can influence real economic behaviour. According to Marxian economists, while all labor-products existing in an economy have economic value, only a minority of them have real prices; the majority of goods and assets at any time are not being traded, and they have at best a hypothetical price. Six criticisms Marxian economists make of neoclassical economics are that neoclassical price theory: • is not based on any substantive, realistic theory of economic exchange as a social process, and simply assumes that exchange will occur; • simply assumes prices can be attached or imputed to all goods and services; • assumes equilibrium prices will exist and that markets tend spontaneously to equilibrium prices; • fails to distinguish adequately between actual market prices; administered prices; and ideal, accounting, or hypothetical prices. • disconnects price theory from the real economic history of the use of prices. • is unable to provide a coherent explanation of the relationship between price and economic value. Austrian theory The last objection is also sometimes interpreted as the paradox of value, which was observed by classical economists. Adam Smith described what is now called the Diamond–Water Paradox: diamonds command a higher price than water, yet water is essential for life, while diamonds are merely ornamentation. One solution offered to this paradox is through the theory of marginal utility proposed by Carl Menger, the father of the Austrian School of economics. As William Barber put it, human volition, the human subject, was "brought to the centre of the stage" by marginalist economics, as a bargaining tool. Neoclassical economists sought to clarify choices open to producers and consumers in market situations, and thus "fears that cleavages in the economic structure might be unbridgeable could be suppressed". Without denying the applicability of the Austrian theory of value as subjective only, within certain contexts of price behaviour, the Polish economist Oskar Lange felt it was necessary to attempt a serious integration of the insights of classical political economy with neo-classical economics. This would then result in a much more realistic theory of price and of real behaviour in response to prices. Marginalist theory lacked anything like a theory of the social framework of real market functioning, and criticism sparked off by the capital controversy initiated by Piero Sraffa revealed that most of the foundational tenets of the marginalist theory of value either reduced to tautologies, or that the theory was true only if counter-factual conditions applied. One insight often ignored in the debates about price theory is something that businessmen are keenly aware of: in different markets, prices may not function according to the same principles except in some very abstract (and therefore not very useful) sense. From the classical political economists to Michal Kalecki it was known that prices for industrial goods behaveddifferently from prices for agricultural goods, but this idea could be extended further to other broad classes of goods and services.

Visiting cardiologist to give public lecture on meditation
Visiting cardiologist to give public lecture at UC on meditation
October 2, 2013
A visiting cardiologist will give a public lecture at the University of Canterbury (UC) next week explaining that people who regularly practice transcendental meditation have 48 percent fewer deaths, heart attacks and strokes.
American academic researcher Dr Robert Schneider is touring New Zealand this month to explain the health benefits of meditation.
``I want to tell New Zealand doctors why the American Heart Association is now recommending transcendental meditation,'' he says.
UC health sciences lecturer Dr Arindam Basu says cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of deaths in New Zealand. Many of the deaths are premature and preventable.
``High blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking and sedentary lifestyles are believed to be major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, in particular coronary artery diseases. Because of this, lifestyle modifications and pharmaceutical interventions are used to prevent and treat heart diseases.
``Transcendental meditation is the most widely researched aspect of mind-body medicine with over 600 peer-reviewed published journal articles to testify its effectiveness.
``Transcendental meditation refers to a simple, psychophysiological procedure practiced for 20 minutes twice a day. The meditation techniques are taught by specially trained instructors and can be practiced in conjunction with most conventional medical treatments.
``This technique not only reduces death and disability from heart diseases, but it reduces significant risk factors of heart disease including cigarette smoking, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
``It is believed that practising transcendental meditation to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease is probably most directly related to its ability to lower psychosocial stress and to correct deleterious effects of stress.
``It's great for the people of Christchurch that Professor Schneider is speaking at UC on October 9 as he is one of the foremost scholars in the fields of use of mind-body medicine,'' Dr Basu says.

Bill strengthens care, reins in costs
"After a year of debate, studying bills and listening to Arizonans, one thing has been made clear: We cannot sustain the path we are on because health care costs are burdening Arizona families, hurting the economy and slowing the recovery. This package would strengthen Medicare for seniors, maintain TRICARE for veterans, help mitigate the impact of Medicaid costs on Arizona, and make health insurance more accessible and affordable for individuals, families and small businesses. Additionally, it would rein in costs and reduce the deficit."
– Rep. Harry Mitchell, (D) Congressional District 5
More unfunded mandates
"The health care bill is estimated to cost Arizona taxpayers $4 billion in unfunded mandates, while making $500 billion in cuts to Medicare and massive reductions in veterans' health care. Furthermore, the legislation creates an avalanche of new agencies, rules and regulations that will vastly expand federal power over the most intimate aspects of each of our lives. It also contains unsustainable, unconstitutional and unaffordable mandates on the states and on individuals alike, including an unprecedented requirement that citizens buy private insurance policies.
"I support legal challenges to the health care bill's enforcement as well as legislative efforts toward its repeal."
– J.D. Hayworth, (R) U.S. Senate candidate
Positive impact will be immediate
"The impact of this historic bill will be felt immediately by millions of Americans. Insurance companies will no longer be permitted to deny coverage to children and adults due to a pre-existing condition. Insurance companies will no longer be permitted to kick students off of their parent's health insurance when they reach the age of 26. And insurance companies will no longer be permitted to drop insurance for hard-working people all across the country because they get sick."
– Arizona Director Jessica Jones, Organizing for America
Mandatory insurance is unconstitutional
"House Resolution 3590 represents a sweeping violation of these fundamental principles established by the founding fathers. By requiring all citizens to purchase health insurance or be penalized, this bill would impose on the people an unprecedented mandate by the federal government. As emphasized by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office: The government has never required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States. This mandate violates the founders' intent to limit the intrusion of the federal government upon the rights of the individual."
– Gov. Jan Brewer, in a letter to Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi
Victory for parents, families common sense
"Most importantly, today's vote answers the prayers of every American who has hoped deeply for something to be done about a health care system that works for insurance companies, but not for ordinary people. For most Americans, this debate has never been about abstractions, the fight between right and left, Republican and Democrat – it's always been about something far more personal. It's about every American who knows the shock of opening an envelope to see that their premiums just shot up again when times are already tough enough. It's about every parent who knows the desperation of trying to cover a child with a chronic illness only to be told "no" again and again and again. It's about every small business owner forced to choose between insuring employees and staying open for business. They are why we committed ourselves to this cause.
"Tonight's vote is not a victory for any one party – it's a victory for them. It's a victory for the American people. And it's a victory for common sense."
– President Barack Obama
Bill will halt job growth
"Uncertainty is a jobs killer. Companies hold off on hiring when they're awaiting the impact of a new federal mandate or when they're saddled with new taxes. At a time when the U.S. economy is barely treading water, this health care bill could send us in to a devastating double-dip recession."
– Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Glenn Hamer
Historic step
"For years, AARP has fought to improve health care for our members and all older Americans. Today, our nation has taken an historic step in ensuring that Americans have the health security and stability they need. We will continue to work with Congress to finish the job we started so many years ago."
– AARP CEO A. Barry Rand
Cooperation over
"There will be no cooperation for the rest of the year. They have poisoned the well in what they've done and how they've done it."
– Sen. John McCain (R)

The eBook I wrote, Survival Investing with Gold and Silver, discusses the process by which money is created, prices are inflated, and what you can do to protect your purchasing power.
The title of Chapter 4 is "Most People I Know Aren't Preparing. Why Should I?" The sad truth is that most people are locked into a short term view of their finances and seldom see the big picture – which is that exponentially increasing government debt and "money printing" by the Federal Reserve guarantee further inflation and loss of your purchasing power. The people who both see the problems in our economy and are intelligently preparing are rare.
Consequently, most people will suffer a loss of their purchasing power as prices rise far more rapidly than wages. Chapter 4 of my eBook, "Survival Investing with Gold and Silver" addresses the issue of preparing, reasons why most people do not prepare, hyperinflation, the Dow to Gold ratio and other topics.
Take charge of your financial life and do some intelligent financial prepping.

By Janie Mccauley, AP Sports Writer
OAKLAND, Calif. Santiago Casilla was 19 when he became Jairo Garcia.
That's typically too old to attract attention from the baseball scouts looking to sign top young players in the Dominican Republic. So he took the name and birth certificate of a friend who's nearly three years younger. And for the next five seasons, Casilla lived a lie.
"When Americans come to the Dominican Republic, they like young guys," he said. "They're not going to sign guys who are too old."
It was an act of desperation he now regrets, but at the time it seemed like the only way to achieve his dream of pitching in the major leagues. It wasn't even his idea, though Casilla won't say who suggested it.
The Oakland Athletics didn't know the hard-throwing right-hander they'd signed as a non-drafted free agent back in January 2000 wasn't Jairo Garcia. Not until he finally decided to tell the team through his agent two years ago.
When he returned last season as Casilla, many wondered about the A's new pitching prospect. But to his teammates, he was always Willie - his nickname since childhood.
"Willie Santiago Jairo Garcia Casilla," joked David Forst, the A's assistant general manager.
Casilla is far from the first baseball player to fake his age or name to get a foot in the door, though Major League Baseball says the problem has lessened now that visas and other documentation are scrutinized more closely following the Sept. 11 attacks.
"There were a number of cases," said MLB spokesman Pat Courtney. "It was an issue. But after a situation like 9-11, there was an added emphasis from the State Department and others to make sure visas all matched up."
Casilla wants to forget it all now and re-establish himself under his given name. He asked for forgiveness during daily trips to church back home.
The A's have already all but forgotten because Casilla is pitching well at a time their beat-up bullpen needs a huge boost from his strong right arm. Casilla locates his fastball well, has a reliable slider as an out pitch and an effective change-up.
"It certainly changes what you ultimately think his upside would be," Forst said. "How much growth is left for a 26-year-old or a 23-year-old is pretty significant. At the same time, he was a guy who had been throwing 94 (mph) and had some success. He was still a major league prospect."
Casilla turns 27 on July 25. Jairo Garcia turned 24 on March 7.
Casilla has been near-perfect since Oakland called him up from Triple-A Sacramento on June 3. In his first 10 outings and heading into a weekend interleague series with the New York Mets at Shea Stadium, he hadn't allowed a run over 12 1-3 innings, had stranded all seven of his inherited baserunners and saved two games in two opportunities. He also held opponents to a .122 batting average (5-for-41) with 14 strikeouts and just two walks.
Casilla entered with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth inning against Cincinnati on Tuesday night and got Brandon Phillips on a called third strike to escape the jam. He struck out the side in the ninth after allowing Ken Griffey Jr.'s infield single that glanced off Casilla's glove, and the pitcher pumped his fist as he hustled off the mound.
Casilla has reason to celebrate.
He's been a bit of a hard-luck case, making all of nine appearances in the majors the past three years and seeing his 2006 season cut short because of a strained throwing shoulder that ended his campaign last June 21.
"It's going well and I'm very happy," Casilla said during an interview conducted mostly in Spanish. "Before, I thought I could play here and just waited for my opportunity."
Last year, after his name change, Casilla arrived almost a month late for spring training and was sent straight to minor league camp. Forst described the delay as a "homeland security issue" because the pitcher had been in the country previously under the other name.
While the A's are benefiting from Casilla's consistency now, the news about his true identity initially concerned them. Oakland's director of Latin American operations, Raymond Abreu, heard from Casilla's agent and then contacted director of player development Keith Lieppman, who immediately sent out an e-mail to the A's brass.
"Guys will do anything to get an opportunity here," said manager Bob Geren, also Casilla's skipper during winter ball two years ago when he went back to his real name. "He's not the only one. It didn't hurt him. He's still young. A 26-year-old who throws 94 or a 24-year-old who throws 94, there's not much difference. Look at Roger Clemens now."
Casilla wasted no time showing the A's he had potential.
In his first professional season in 2000, he went 6-2 with a 3.26 ERA in 11 appearances and 10 starts in the Dominican Summer League - holding opponents to a .189 batting average.
By 2004, he had jumped from Class-A Kane County to Triple-A Sacramento and then the majors, but he lasted just four outings with Oakland after giving up eight earned runs on five hits with three home runs while walking nine batters in all of 5 2-3 innings.
During the '05 season, his final year as Garcia, he made three appearances for the A's.
That winter, Geren managed Casilla in winter ball in the Dominican Republic. A's minor league pitching instructor Ron Romanick was the pitching coach on a team that also included major league pitchers Francisco Cordero, Rafael Soriano, Julio Mateo and Fernando Rodney.
Geren praised Casilla for his work ethic and dedication then, a time when many players take their share of days off to rest. Casilla showed up to work out in the gym every morning and didn't miss a road trip. That was just the start of his transformation from Jairo Garcia.
"For him, I'm sure that was kind of an unfortunate situation," Oakland pitching coach Curt Young said. "But in our eyes, you kind of have respect for what he was trying to do. You're at a point where baseball is going to be your life and you'll do anything."
On Tuesday, Casilla spent some time in the dugout before a game with 13 Spanish-speaking sixth- and seventh-graders from Oakland, part of the "A's Amigos" program. Both the pitcher and kids laughed and smiled throughout the session.
Casilla said his faith got him through the tough times, and he's pleased he ultimately made the choice to tell the A's the truth.
"It's in the past," he said. "I want to do everything as Casilla. That's it. I feel badly about it. I'm happy now, and I feel clean."

Internship profile: World Relief case worker
January 08, 2014
Elizabeth Johnson's internship working with refugees and immigrants
made her more confident about her career goal of mission work.
|Elizabeth Johnson with friends from World Relief.
Johnson was a case worker intern for World Relief, a not-for-profit agency serving Western Illinois and Eastern Iowa. Every day, she would take people to health clinics and grocery stores, to apply for food stamps and to attend orientations to help them learn about their new home in the Quad Cities.
"Most days I would spend a fair amount of time in the office doing administrative work and teaching job classes," she said. "I was also put in charge of teaching a particular family English, which I especially loved."
Johnson, a senior, is majoring in anthropology major and minoring in Africana studies, so many of her classes prepared her for dealing with people from other cultures. She also spent a term in Ghana, Africa, where she learned about the various religions and cultures of other countries.
"I loved the other interns and the employees of World Relief! Johnson said. "They challenged my creative abilities and stretched me beyond my comfort zone, and I'm so thankful for that.
"I also really loved the connections I made with the refugees in the community. Teaching English helped with that, but just being able to spend quality time with them really opened my eyes to the trials some are forced to endure."
She said her internship affirmed her career goals of pursuing some form of mission work, although she was surprised at the amount of paperwork involved.
"Working at a non-profit Christian organization helped me see the ins and outs of what a job like that would look like," she said. "I now have a better understanding of every aspect of World Relief, which will be extremely beneficial when applying to work there after college."

What is the attraction? Spend an afternoon taking a leisurely drive around Lake Tahoe, stopping off in small towns and at turnoffs to see beautiful new views of the lake.
What is there to do? After recently returning from a trip, I was surprised to learn several people who have spent days or weeks in Tahoe have never taken the time to simply drive around the lake. I have done it twice, once in the winter and once in the summer.

Global make-up company Estee Lauder has launched legal action against Target, claiming the retailer sold fake cosmetics at its stores and online from at least August 8.
In the Federal Court yesterday, David Studdy, SC, for Target, said Estee Lauder's claims that the products were fake were just allegations at this point. ''We just don't know and we're obviously making urgent inquiries,'' he said.
Target took the products off its shelves on August 28 and had been making attempts to get information from the supplier since August 30, Mr Studdy said. ''They may be parallel imports or it may be slightly older stock.''
But Richard Lancaster, SC, for Estee Lauder, said Mr Studdy was ''just guessing''.
He said 34 out of 34 products bought from Target stores had been shown to be counterfeit in testing. He said it was important that customers who bought M·A·C from Target were made aware that the products were fake.
Estee Lauder is also concerned that orders cancelled by Target may end up being sold elsewhere in Australia.
Estee Lauder, which bought the New York-based M·A·C in 1998, said the make-up was advertised at prices 40 per cent below those of authorised retailers David Jones, Myer and its own stores.
The hearing continues.

Team Chevy Racing
Spirit of Daytona Captures Second Win of the Season and Fifth Consecutive Victory for Corvette DP in Rolex Sports Car Series Competition
Westbrook and Valiante Score Dominating Victory at Mid-Ohio
LEXINGTON, OHIO (June 9, 2012) – Richard Westbrook and Michael Valiante put the No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Corvette DP in victory lane at Mid-Ohio Sports Course in the EMCO Gears Classic for the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series. It is the second victory of the season for the Troy Flis-owned team to give Corvette DP its fifth consecutive win in the first six races of the 2012 season.
"Congratulations to the No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Corvette DP team on capturing their second win of the season," said Jim Lutz, Chevrolet Grand-Am Program Manager. "Mid-Ohio didn't disappoint in producing hard, competitive racing. Michael Valiante put the team in a great position near the front during his stint, and Richard Westbrook did a masterful job of holding off the competition in the final dash to the finish. It is testimony to the hard work by everyone involved in this program to again have two Corvette DPs on the podium with the No. 5 Action Express Racing Corvette DP finishing third.
"It has been a great season thus far for the Corvette DP in the Rolex Series with five trips to Victory Lane. With the level of competition in Grand-Am Road Racing, the challenge is going to be to keep the momentum going in the championship chase."
Westbrook and Valiante combined to lead a race-high total of 87 of the 111 laps in today's race.
"I'm speechless," said Valiante. "I mean how many people can win two races in one day within a couple of hours. I've got to give it to the team, Chevy - it was a great drive by Richard (Westbrook). It was so nice to come back after the disappointment last weekend and win this one. It's awesome."
"It's really satisfying," said Westbrook. "I'm really relieved. This is where we should be. We came off the grounds a bit after Barber. Now we're back on. A big thanks to Mike (Valiante) he drove awesome today. He put the car into the lead and then I just had to finish off the good run that he had done. He put us in this position today, really thanks to Michael."
David Donohue and Terry Borcheller brought the No. 5 Action Express Racing Corvette DP to the checkered flag in third to give Chevrolet two of the three podium positions. Last week's winner, the No. 9 Action Express Racing Corvette DP, was scored sixth in the final order.
Pole winner No. 99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing Corvette DP jumped into the lead at the drop of the green flag of the 2.75-hour race and stayed at the point for the first 17 circuits around the 2.258-mile course. However, the string of disappointing luck continued for the two-time Rolex Series champions. A power steering issue put them in the pits for repairs that cost two laps to the leaders. But after returning to competition, the team battled back to finish one lap down in seventh position.
The No. 10 SunTrust Racing Corvette DP was in contention to battle for the win, but with 11 laps remaining in the timed race, on-track contact sent the two-time 2012 winners to the garage, unable to continue.
In GT, the Stevenson Motorsport Camaro GT.R driven by Robin Liddell and John Edwards scored their fourth consecutive podium finish crossing the finish line in third place in-class.
The No. 88 Autohaus Motorsports Camaro GT.R was ninth in-class and the No. 31 Marsh Racing Corvette finished 14th in-class.
In the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge race, Lawson Aschenbach and Eric Curran brought the No. 01 CKS Autosport Camaro GS.R to the finish in second place with a very strong run in the 2.5-hour race. Also scoring a top-five finish were Matt Bell and John Edwards in the No. 9 Stevenson Motorsports Camaro GS.R.
Lutz concluded by saying: "We are proud of the No. 57 Stevenson Motorsports Camaro GT.R team and drivers John Edwards and Robin Liddell on their podium finish in GT, as well as the second place run in GS by Lawson Ashenbach and Eric Curran in the No. 01 CKS Autosport Camaro GS.R. Now we have a week off to get prepared for the always-tough Road America."

Manchester - EADS Defence & Security Systems Ltd. announced the expansion of synthetic modeling capabilities to encompass solutions aimed at UK homeland security applications. By providing an innovative synthetic simulation environment, UK emergency services and other first response' organizations can now design, develop, evaluate and scale responses to an infinite range of emergency scenarios including terrorist threats, major accidents and natural disasters.
"Synthetic modeling enables homeland security agencies to generate interactive scenarios which evaluate the performance and interoperability of existing and future homeland defense capabilities in a network centric facility. All without the need to undertake expensive and disruptive real-life, large-scale exercises," commented Philippe Meleard, head of public safety, EADS DS. "Today, threats to homeland security are an increasingly global phenomenon and ensuring the safety and security of country borders, urban areas and of critical infrastructures such as data centers and power supplies has become a challenging mission for everyone concerned," he added.
EADS' Network Centric Operations Simulation (NetCOS) experimentation centers combine the latest simulation and data fusion technology in order to synthetically reproduce realistic military and civil management and crisis-management scenarios in national and international contexts. EADS' NetCOS centers -- based in Germany, France and Newport, South Wales, with a fourth scheduled for delivery in Spain during 2006 -- provide a common environment called NetCORE offering methodological tools, synthetic environment and a simulation tool together with infrastructure platform for the design and execution of experiments in support of large system integration. By merging and presenting data from a variety of sources in a virtual environment, EADS can create a precise, realistic picture of a specific tactical or strategic scenario.
"With governments establishing Network Centric Organizations to efficiently exploit information technology, and integrating sensors, decision makers, weapon systems and support capabilities, facilities such as those offered by EADS become indispensable for testing and perfecting sets of innovative defensive moves suited to today's homeland security challenges," concluded Meleard.

Oktoberfest! Prost!
October 04, 2012
Name: Maria Bonvissuto
Age: 20
Year: Sophomore
From: Nashville, Tennessee
Major: English
Hobbies: Guitar, running, theater, writing.
What is your favorite class or professor? My favorite professor would probably have to be Prof. Mark Wunsch, because he's a very engaging teacher who also really takes the time to get to know his students. Before coming to Christendom I was dreading having to take philosophy, but Prof. Wunsch made it such an enjoyable experience that by the end of the year I loved it, and I learned a lot!
What extra-curricular activities do you participate in? I'm a member of the Christendom Players, a student Ambassador, a staff writer for The Rambler, and I also work for Christendom's online newsletter, The Chronicler. Last year I played intramural volleyball and I hope to do it again. The extra-curricular activities at Christendom have really allowed me to branch out, try fun things that I never would have done at home, and especially to meet new people and form some amazing friendships.
Why did you choose Christendom? I chose Christendom because it provides an incredible environment for me to pursue my passion in the humanities in an environment where I could grow in my faith and be supported by peers who believe the same things that I do.
What surprises you the most about Christendom? The fun variety of people here and the fact that the majority of them take their faith very seriously. It's very inspiring to me.
What are your plans after graduation? I'd like to either go to grad school for journalism or get into the book publishing/editing business. It's still a way off though, so things could change!
Any parting words of advice for a prospective student? Get involved and take advantage of all the great spiritual, academic and social opportunities that Christendom offers. The college years are some of the best years of your life, so live them to the full!
Last Wednesday evening, Philosophy Professors Mike Brown and John Cuddeback hosted the first "Fireside Chat" of the semester in St. Catherine's "Glade." "Fireside Chats" is a reinstated program that hopes to bring students together around a campfire through song and conversation. Conversations pertain to a particular theme for the semester and are led by a faculty member, who gives a short reflection about some aspect of the Christian life.
This semester's theme is on mercy, and Dr. Cuddeback kicked off the conversation on Wednesday with a discussion of "looking for mercy in the right places." Mr. Brown and Dr. Cuddeback led students in several fun folk and Irish songs, and the Student Activities Council provided s'mores for everyone.
"I thought it was so awesome that over fifty students came to the bonfire to sing and listen to Dr. Cuddeback," says Sophomore Peter Romanchuk. "My favorite part of the night was when everyone joined in singing 'Irish Rover.'"
Dr. Jenislawski and Mrs. Stanford will be giving the reflections at the next two "Fireside Chats" this semester.
Students gather 'round the fire for conversation and s'mores.
Last Thursday, Christendom College's Blood Drive Committee held its annual blood drive in the Crusader Gymnasium. Sponsored by The Red Cross, students, faculty, and residents of Front Royal, came to the campus to give donations.
"It was great to see everyone come and willingly donate. This was the first blood drive of the year and I am very happy about the turnout," said Faith Leopold, the head of the committee.
In the United States, alone, there is constantly a need for blood donations, meaning that each drive held helps those in need daily. One donation saves three lives!
Faith Leopold with Sophomore Peter Deucher—ready to give blood.
As dusk settled over campus Friday evening, the lawn behind Regina Coeli lit up with music and games galore at Christendom's first Folk Festival. Student performers provided live entertainment for their peers, playing on an impromptu stage consisting of Coeli's back porch. The audience enjoyed listening to a wide variety of music, with everything from folk music to pop songs to country and even a few original songs being played by students from all grades.
For sophomore Andre Moreau, one of the best parts of the event was the festive atmosphere. "I felt as if I was at a county fair from the funnel cakes to the folk country music," he said.
When students weren't listening to the constant music, attendees challenged each other to rounds of corn-hole and Bocce Ball or socialized around one of several fire pits set out for the occasion. The gazebo in the center of the Quad was festooned with lights and served as a concession stand where students lined up all night to enjoy refreshments such as root beer, freshly grilled burgers and hot dogs, and especially the handmade funnel cakes.

On Saturday, Christendom College's pro-life student club, Shield of Roses, participated in the local Crisis Pregnancy Center's "Walk for Life" fundraiser in Front Royal, Va. More than 50 students and professors joined in the walk with over four hundred participants. Students touted pro-life shirts and led the walk with songs and high spirits.
"I am really impressed at the number of students who came out for the walk," sophomore Mark Turner says. "It is an important witness to America, especially with the elections coming up so soon."
Turner is a member of the College's varsity soccer team, which participated in the walk as a team. The Walk for Life raised money for an ultrasound machine for the Pregnancy Center—a much-needed addition that will help the clinic reach out with greater impact to women in the local Front Royal area.

On Sunday, a group of about 30 students left the College early in the morning to first attend Mass in the town of Front Royal and then headed south to enjoy a day at the amusement park King's Dominion. Once the van's arrived at the park, students naturally separated and went off to enjoy the beautifully sunny day on all of the attractions.
"It was great to be able to leave campus and enjoy a fun time with friends. Who doesn't love roller-coasters?" said Freshman Elise Litterio.
Luckily, the rain held off and the day filled with roller coaster thrills and delicious park food, was an enjoyable one.
Sophomores Angela Wimmer, Alexis Witiak, Karolyn Pondo, and Rebecca Neltner enjoy some ice cream at the end of a long day.

On Saturday, against a backdrop of twinkling lights and a rapt audience, student pianists gave a magnificent concert at Christendom's annual Piano Night. The semi-formal event took place in the Commons, which was decorated in a timelessly elegant style for the occasion.
"It was a really classy, elegant event," said senior Rachel Milani. "Everything looked great."
Senior Matt Camp started off the event by giving a short introduction and presenting the first musician. From Debussy to movie scores, the performers played their hearts out, giving an impressive show of talent. Highlights of the evening included variations on the tune "Mary Had a Little Lamb" by Sean Connelly and a comical duet by Seniors Rachel Kujawa and Matt Camp. The show was split into two halves by a brief intermission, during which the audience and pianists mingled and partook of an amazing spread of sparkling cider, cheese and crackers, and chocolates. Attendees all enjoyed the experience of attending such an upscale event and hearing the work of their talented peers.

Christendom College's annual Oktoberfest celebration took place this Monday evening, on October 1, in the St. Lawrence Commons. There was a feast of German food, including hot pretzels, pork schnitzel, bratwurst, and sauerkraut, as well as German beer for those 21 and over. English Professor Dr. Robert Rice led a group of students in singing the Bavarian National Anthem to begin the night. Many students, faculty, and staff members proudly wore traditional German dirndls and lederhosen to show off their German heritage.
"I had so much fun dressing up for Oktoberfest this year and getting into the German spirit," says Senior Sarah Barren. "It's awesome that Christendom celebrates so many different cultures throughout the year."
The night came to a conclusion with a mix of polka and contra-style dancing, which is always a favorite part of the night for students and for children of the faculty members.
There is always some singing in German at Oktoberfest.

IIn order to raise funds for this year's senior class gift, students have gotten creative with a raffle that will be launched this weekend during Homecoming. The prizes include three custom Christendom Corn Hole sets and a pair of VIP/Backstage passes to see Scythian perform live at 9:30 Club.
Sean LaRochelle built the custom Corn Hole sets and was assisted by Julie Wells, Bernadette Sartor, as well as, Angelica and Maria Cintorino with the painting and design. If you're interested in participating in the raffle contact senior class president David Townsend at [email protected]

The Academic side of Christendom's semester in Rome is composed of two variations of class days. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are Art and Architecture Lectures and Tours, while Tuesday and Thursday are "in the classroom" classes. Though every day in Rome is a little varied (the city offers many different adventures) a typical Tuesday/Thursday would be:
6:00 – Alarm goes off for an early morning jog
There are obviously many places to run in Rome–along the Tiber, in the city parks, even to the Coliseum–but running around the Vatican is a must. How often can you brag about running laps around an entire country?!
7:00 – Morning Mass in Saint Peter's
As the Vatican is a few minutes walking distance from Residence Candia, the only thing slowing you down would be your morning shower. Mass is offered by the college later in the day, but there's no better way to start the day than celebrating Mass in the heart of Christendom.
8:00 – Breakfast: the other best part of the morning
Some prepare food in the apartment kitchens at Residence Candia. Others, if running late, grab a cappuccino and breakfast pastry on the way to class. Good luck choosing from the numerous delicious looking croissants, muffins, and rolls!
9:00 – Announcements at the Instituto Maria SS Bambina (the convent that hosts the classes)
The Rome director, Miss Ott, runs through important information for the week–when and where the next tour will be; travel plans for the upcoming weekend; sometimes relative, local politics (recently Italian workers went on strike, canceling our museum tour for the day).
9:30 – Roman Perspectives
The first class of the morning and one of the best. Reading classics like Livy's The Rise of Rome while in Rome makes homework pretty fun. Take the book, ride the bus or metro to a random place in the city and experience history on site.
11:30 – Mass with Christendom
Fr. Bergida celebrates Mass at the Instituto chapel, in the same building as classes. Having Mass in English is a nice break after the usual Italian. It also gives students an opportunity to altar serve, lector, or sing in the choir during Mass.
12:00 – Pranzo (lunch)
This is at the Terminal, a metro/train station near the Instituto where we eat lunch together in the cafeteria between Tuesday/Thursday classes.
13:30–17:20 – Moral Theology (offered the fall semester) followed by Elementary Italian
17:20 – Free time!
After classes finish, gelato is a nice reward. Old Bridge Gelateria, conveniently located on the walk back to Candia, is a favorite with the girls… if you're friendly enough with the gelato boys, you get extra ice-cream!
Evenings hold a host of opportunities. For dinner, eating in Candia is the best way to save money with the bonus of showing off culinary talent. Sometimes different rooms in the dorm will host other rooms for meals. There's also the option of packing picnics or buying food (mini pizza!) and enjoying the meal out in Rome at a piazza, park, or historical monument. Add wine, and it's dining as a local. Once a week, all the students gather on the terrace roof of Candia for a potluck. At the Front Royal campus, when dining is always together, its easy to underestimate the pleasure and community formed through shared meals. After dining in small groups throughout the week, the potluck is always a hit.
Following dinner, the wise student spends the rest of the evening doing homework. The rest go explore the city at night, maybe busking in piazzas. Others relax in the dorms, perhaps making plans for an upcoming travel weekend. However the evening ends, the next day is sure to hold as many exciting adventures and opportunities…. so sleep is a good investment of time.

Importance of Visiting Campus
The college decision process can be a daunting task. Despite a lot of research, students applying to Christendom still might be left wondering if it's the best fit for them. The only way to be truly sure of this is a campus visit. Thanks to a variety of options offered by Christendom's Admissions Department, it's easy for anyone to experience what it's like to be a student here.
Prospective students can come on a designated Visit Weekend during which they stay with a student ambassador, sit in on classes and meet the faculty, enjoy meals in the Commons, and take part in all the social events taking place at Christendom that weekend. Visitors can also just tour the college for a day. Additionally, our Open House held in October (Columbus Day) allows the entire family to see what Christendom has to offer.
Freshman Maryann Riccardi was deeply influenced by her visit to Christendom.
"It is important for prospective students to visit Christendom before deciding to go here because it is so utterly different from other schools," she says. "Every experience, from classrooms, school events, or just spending quality time with friends is so unlike other schools. I would greatly recommend visiting Christendom—you will not regret the experience."
Another slice of Christendom life can be found at the Experience Christendom Summer Program held for rising high school seniors. These popular weeklong sessions allow prospective students to get an up close and personal view into what it's like to be a student at Christendom. In the case of Sophomore Stephen Hyland, the Summer Program was a deciding factor in his decision to attend Christendom.
"I first came to Christendom during the summer program of 2010," he says. "I was skeptical at first, but by the time I got settled in, I was very glad I came. The classroom sessions at the summer program were highly engaging. There were several professors teaching core subjects that gave me a glimpse of the actual college experience. Also, I made many new friends over the course of just one week, most of which are in my class today."
Whether it's a few hours or seven days, every moment spent on campus counts in the college decision—so come visit and experience for yourself what Christendom is all about.
Volleyball Victories
When sophomore Julie McMahon stepped to the line to serve with game point on the line, there was little doubt in the Crusader Gym what would happen next as McMahon successfully completed the three set sweep over Trinity University with an ace.
This dominating victory over Trinity came fresh off Monday's resounding win against Appalachian Bible. On Monday, the Lady Crusaders took three of four sets to win the five set match. Another McMahon sister, this time freshman Bridget McMahon, starred in the Monday night game.
"Bridget McMahon had a great game and was huge at the net," volleyball coach Josh Petersen said after the game.
The always consistent, and team leader in kills, junior Bridget Vander Woude put in another solid performance, complimented by fellow Captain Anna Harris. Harris, coming off a strained LCL, gave a superb performance en route to the Crusader victory.
The victory over Trinity on Tuesday had special importance for the team since the last time the two teams met it took five sets to decide the winner. The Christendom team won the match, but with Trinity coming to "our house" the Lady Crusaders vowed the result would be swifter!
"Tonight everyone played a key part in the victory," sophomore Gabbi Muskett said. "We all played our absolute best."
The Lady Crusaders got off to a fast start, taking the first set 25-13. In the second set things got tighter, but once again the Crusaders would pull out the 26-24 victory. In the third—and what would prove to be the final set—the Crusaders pulled away to a 25-11 win capped off by the McMahon ace.
With their record standing at 6-7 with three matches to go, the Lady Crusaders take to the hardwood once again tonight at 7pm as they play host to Penn State Mont Alto and then Davis College on Saturday at noon. The next three home games will be the last games for seniors Anna Harris, Lisa Hill, Bridget Lademan, Katie Wunderlich and Theresa Jalsevac.

Q. I was looking through your list of majors on your website and was interested to see that all the ones I am looking for you do not have. I had been thinking of applying to Christendom, but now that I see the lack of majors, I am not so sure. Are you going to add any more soon because I really want to be able to get a job when I graduate.
A. If one of your goals of a college education is to find gainful employment post graduation, well, Christendom meets that goal. If one of your goals is to study a very narrow and specific subject area and then major in it, such as advertising, accounting, education, or communications, then we do not meet that goal. But, you can still get jobs in advertising, accounting, education, and communications with a degree from Christendom, if you want.
Christendom grads are employed in just about every field possible. We have alumni who have degrees in philosophy who are financial analysts and teachers. We have alumni with history degrees who are marketing professionals and officers in the military. Theology majors are now electrical engineers and computer software programmers. We have alumni who are doctors, lawyers, physical therapists, accountants, managers, nurses, educators, salesmen, graphic artists, editors, entrepreneurs, project managers, tradesmen, builders, carpenters, priests, religious, music teachers, art directors, drama teachers, missionaries, real estate agents, insurance salesmen, architects, dentists, college professors, Montessori teachers, computer scientists, and everything in between.
Additionally, Christendom has a full-time Director of Career Development, Mr. Mike Mochel, and he is very helpful to our students as they discern their career choices throughout their years at Christendom. His focus is on helping students figure out what types of employment they might enjoy, which grad schools they might wish to attend, and helping them be prepared for their jobs by aiding them with interview skills and resume writing. His office is located in our Student Center and his door is always open. Here is a link to our Career Services page on our website.
The liberal arts education that Christendom offers is good and useful in and of itself, but it also makes our graduates very employable. Our graduates are easily able to adapt to an ever-changing work environment and they have all the most sought-after skills, as evidenced by the following information:
- Liberal arts students advance more quickly to middle and senior management positions than their colleagues who pursued other fields of study . . . these graduates become employees that are ready to learn (AT&T Management Study).
- The liberal arts are more effective in teaching communication skills, general knowledge and information, an understanding of people, an appreciation of ethical concerns, an ability to organize and prioritize, and vital leadership skills (Fortune 500 study).
- Business leaders value liberal arts grads for their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, strong writing and speaking skills, self-discipline, exposure to diverse ideas, and global perspective (Hobart & William Smith Colleges study).
- Strong communications skills are the single most important attribute a candidate can have – and also the one most lacking among job applicants (Poll of hiring managers by the National Association of Colleges and Employers).
- A broad liberal arts education is preferred for future CEOs – blending knowledge of history, culture, philosophy, and economic policy, with international experience and problem-solving skills (The Wall Street Journal).
- Employers focus on finding graduates with the right skills rather than the right major, as a new employee with the right skills can easily learn the specifics of an industry. Employers desire transferable skills, skills employees take with them to any job, such as written and verbal communication skills, the ability to solve complex problems, to work well with others, and to adapt in a changing workplace–and these are characteristic of a liberal arts education (Survey by National Association of Colleges and Employers).

Actually did not end up staying at this hostel due to them messing up the dates I was suppose to stay there. I program applications and websites for a living and the only way they would have messed this up is through user error. They attempted to lead me to believe the system booked me in for a month later despite all my print outs from Hostelworld.com and all my emails clearly stated the correct month. From what I could see, the hostel looked pretty decent though despite this mix up.

The proposal from developer Merlone Geier would redevelop a 16-acre portion of the shopping center at San Antonio Road and El Camino Real, replacing Rite Aid and Sears with 100,000 square feet of additional retail space, including a new Safeway grocery store, several shops, restaurants and large retailers. Mixed-use buildings with 350 apartments are also part of the proposal, along with a long park along the Hetch-Hetchy right of way.
Among the impacts cited in the draft environmental impact report, there are "significant and unavoidable" impacts in regards to air pollution and climate change caused by car traffic and new building construction.
Numerous nearby intersections along San Antonio Road would continue to operate with a "D" level of service rating (just shy of the worst "F" traffic rating) under the proposal. The only significant traffic impact, according to the draft EIR, would be to the Miller Avenue and San Antonio Road intersection, currently rated "F", which would suffer "significant impacts" but could be made "less than significant" by prohibiting left turns onto Miller Avenue from San Antonio Road.
For a closer look at the 312-page report, a PDF file can be downloaded on the city's website at tinyurl.com/SACstudy.
Comments on the draft EIR can be made until Jan. 14, addressed to Mountain View senior planner Scott Plambaeck or e-mailed to email@example.com.

This fall sports season made for an historic one full of highlights and championships in a variety of girls and boys sports. From the Tokay-Lodi water polo matches under the lights to the grand reopening of the Grape Bowl to the passing of a legendary coaching icon, this fall will be one to remember.
Here are the five picks as the Richies most memorable moments this fall:
Grand reopening of the Grape Bowl — After all the delays, blame game and fingerpointing, everything was almost instantly forgotten when the 1940's-era stadium reopened on Nov. 17 when it played host to the first high school football game when the Lodi Flames beat McNair 48-16 in the second round of the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs before an estimated 3,000 fans. With its gorgeous all-weather FieldTurf, poured concrete ramps and modern lighting, the reborn Grape Bowl will be the new crown jewel of the city's sports facilities when construction is complete.
2010 Lodi High football team — This team went farther into the playoffs than any other Flames football team ever did except for one and this team did it the hard way by playing all but one of its games on the road while the Grape Bowl was under construction. Lodi head coach Todd Dillon, this season's San Joaquin Athletic Association Coach of the Year, guided the team to a 9-4 record, a second-place finish in the SJAA and a pair of playoff wins before losing in the semifinals to top-seeded Pleasant Grove.
Lodi-Tokay water polo matches under the lights — Sparked by an idea from the Tokay Aquatics Boosters Club, an estimated 500 people attended a match at the Tokay pool under the glare of portable lights on Sept. 22 to watch the Lodi Flames sweep the Tokay Tigers in the boys and girls varsity matches. It was the first time in over a decade or so that the matches were played at night in hopes of raising community awareness of prep water polo and by all accounts, a major success.
The Grape Bowl Trophy rediscovered — Lodi Football Boosters Club member Bob Tigert helped spearhead the effort to restore the trophy, which had languished in a corner of the Flames football weight room for 26 years. The two-foot tall trophy with a wooden base adorned with red and purple tin plates on which sits a metal bowl showcasing a football player in a Heisman Trophy-like pose, is awarded annually to the winner of the Lodi-Tokay football game, a tradition that last happened in 1984.
Don Womble — The long-time cross country and track and field coach was a beloved fixture in the Lodi sports community for nearly 60 years. Womble, who passed away from leukemia at age 84 on Nov. 23, was adored and revered by athletes, students, parents, coaches and administrators alike. Naming the track and field grounds Womble Field at Lodi High is a great idea as well as an annual Don Womble Cross Country Classic at Lodi Lake.
The common bond that unites all of these picks is a sense of family, school, individual and community involvement throughout the season. And for that, a special "Richie" award goes out to the area's citizens for their support of our local prep athletic programs all year.
This was evident in the attendance at those "home" football games on the road, at the water-polo matches under the lights, at the grand reopening of the renovated Grape Bowl and even the Flames football section playoff semifinal loss to Pleasant Grove at Elk Grove in which Lodi fans easily outnumbered the Eagles fans.
All of these are shining examples of our local community coming together in the best and worst of times. Thanks for your support and we look for more of the same from now into the New Year.

Professional Development Past Events
2015 Early Childhood Summit: Supporting Children's Social and Emotional Growth
More than 100 professionals from the field of early childhood participated in the 2015 Early Childhood Summit in Vail, Colorado, June 15-17, 2015. Attendees were team members and individuals representing early interventionists, preschool special and general educators, and parents/family members as well as those serving in child care, Head Start, and other community partnership roles, all there to share and promote innovative and promising approaches in social emotional development for all children birth through 5 years of age within the context of their families and communities. Mary Louise Hemmeter, Professor in the Department of Special Education at Vanderbilt University, provided guidance and inspiration in 2 ½ days of large- and small-group activities in the development of collaborative, community implementation plans, encouraging participants to think, discuss, and plan for effective use of current practices within a community of learners. In addition, panelists from a variety of state agencies shared information and resources with the group. Participants left with action plans in hand, enabling them to meet the needs of each infant, toddler, or preschooler in their respective learning environments.

2014 Early Childhood Summit: Language, Early literacy and Family Engagement
Carol Trivett, Orelena Hawks Puckett Institute, North Carolina, interacted with attendees as she provided insight and strategies for innovative and promising approaches to working with all children, birth through 5 years of age, in all professional roles. She addressed support of individual needs of each infant, toddler, and preschooler while emphasizing collaboration among early childhood stakeholders and families. Along with Dr. Trivett, a panel of stakeholders presented their perspectives on stimulating and sustaining an intellectual community of learners to effectively implement strategies for working with the early childhood population. Participants attended as individuals, as a member of their professional team (early childhood teacher, early intervention provider, early childhood special education provider, early childhood administrator, special education administrator), and/or a family member and worked collaboratively each afternoon to develop an action plan they could immediately implement in their respective roles.
2014 Special Education Directors' Academy: Leadership Performance, Management and Results
The Bresnahan-Halstead Center, together with the Colorado Department of Education, hosted the 2014 Special Education Directors' Academy. Jean Crockett, University of Florida, shared leadership strategies for performance management and results with a group of approximately 40 directors of special education programs in Colorado BOCES and school districts. Attendees also heard from a panel of building principals as they described their experiences in working to promote the success of all students in the classroom. Formal and informal group discussions and reflection provided direction for attendees as they prepared for the upcoming academic year.

2014 Bresnahan-Halstead Symposium: Instructional Excellence for Improving Learner Outcomes
The 2014 Bresnahan-Halstead Symposium offered participants the opportunity to hear and interact with leading experts in the field. Don Deshler, Stevan Kukic, Michael Epstein, Harvey Rude, and John Luckner shared strategies that blend good practice with cutting edge research and leads to "Instructional Excellence for Learner Outcomes." The week-long session included such topics as instructional coaching, engaging families, and designing instruction using the MTSS framework. Not only were participants able to actively engage in discussions with the presenters in this intimate setting, but also, as a result of these discussions and on-site activities, attendees left with action plans they developed in which the innovative strategies presented could be implemented to produce the outcomes that provide success for individuals with disabilities.

Cloud-based Transition Portfolio: Implementation of a 21st Century Cloud-based Transition Portfolio using Smartphone and Mobile Electronic Technology
The Weld RE-4 School District has partnered with High Ground Consulting Group Inc. to develop a unique method of maintaining transition-related records and materials in a highly mobile and sharable format using Spyderlink Snaptag technology. The Bresnahan-Halstead Center provided financial support to provide professional development and training to Windsor High School students, parents, and staff on the utilization of a cloud based electronic transition portfolio which will enhance those individuals' skills and knowledge related to an evidencebased self-determination practice. This method allows students and their families to manage their critical information, including medical information, securely in the cloud where it is safe from loss, theft, fire, flood, or general accident. This product and process could speed up the process of sharing critical documents exponentially while also empowering youth with disabilities to manage the flow of information electronically.
EDSE 530: Family/Professional Partnership in Higher Education
The EDSE 530 is a required course for students seeking license and/or M.A. degree in Early Childhood Special Education. The course promotes in-depth reflection on collaboration with families of young children using a case method of instruction. The Bresnahan-Halstead Center supported hiring a co-instructor for the course, Mr. James Brennan, a parent of a child with a disability. One of the best ways for professionals to develop effective familyprofessional partnership skills is during pre-service training. With the perspective of Mr. Brenanan, this course provides students in the course with the family voice.
CPI Instructor Certification
The Bresnahan-Halstead Center supported professional development for Jennifer Lieber to obtain certification in CPI's Nonviolent Crisis Intervention, which encourages proactive and positive strategies to diffuse aggressive and disruptive behavior. As an instructor in UNC's Special Education teacher training program, Dr. Lieber is now able to train present to and train teacher candidates in the use of these strategies for working with students in the field.

Subject: [TGF] Publishing Online: What Do You Do and Why?
Date: Wed, 19 May 2010 09:54:31 -0700 (PDT)
This is, in some ways, a follow-up to the discussions last week about word processing vs databases, figuring out what to do with my old notes and copies, etc. It dawned on me that as part of my planning I need to have a clearer picture of how I wish to "publish" my stuff. In an ideal world, I'd write a lot of books, have several articles published in NGSQ, etc., but that isn't going to happen. I have a tentative plan for what will happen to my paper files, but I would like to have a more specific plan for publishing online.
What method have you chosen for publishing your family history online and why? What are the pros and cons of your choice?
Generic web page?
Rootsweb Worldconnect?
Genealogy software generated web page?
PDF narrative files linked to a web page?
Something else I've not thought of? (I will not use Ancestry Public Trees or other paid database sites).
Is there software that provides for proper footnoting and source citation on a blog or other web-page? I've hand-coded web pages in the distant past, to include superscripting so that I have what appear to be footnotes, but I'd prefer to avoid that laborious task.

I've been lucky enough to have access to a pre-publication electronic version of the new Unicode Standard 5 book, and though I've been terribly busy just lately, I've carved out a little time to read and even use some of it. And I like what I see.
I've always thought the Unicode book was a really useful thing to have if you need to understand the ins-and-outs of Unicode for implementation purposes, or if you are simply interested in how scripts work. It has always been relatively easy to read, and more like a guidebook than a standard, if you know what I mean. The good news is that that seems to be even more the case in the latest version. There are lots of small edits that improve the clarity of the text and make it more readable.
There are, however, some more significant changes that are also very welcome. For example, I've been looking at first-letter styling in CSS recently, particularly in the context of Indian scripts, but despite a lot of searching I was unable to figure out where the Standard actually told me that a default grapheme cluster didn't cover a whole Indic syllable. The grapheme cluster concept is really quite an important one for implementations, and it was frustrating to see it described so poorly.
All that has changed with extensive additions to Chapter 3. Now section 3.6 Combination contains a substantial amount of new text that explains grapheme clusters quite clearly. Again, don't be put off by the dour-sounding title for Chapter 3, Conformance. It contains lots of useful definitions and explanations in the typical clear and succinct style of the book.
I have to admit to a tinge of disappointment that the Standard Annexes which are now included in the book have simply been added as appendices, rather than integrated into the text proper. My evaluation copy didn't actually contain this text, so I can't comment further, however.
Also, I had decided a short while ago that I need to finally get to grips with Tibetan script, and some urgency has been added to that given that I will visit Bhutan in January. I was disappointed, therefore, to find that the section on Tibetan script had not been edited at all. That section has always been substandard, to my mind, in terms of clarity and writing style.
On the other hand, I see that useful additions have been made to existing block descriptions elsewhere (such as a useful additional section on Rendering of Thai Combining Marks in the Thai description). I see similar additions to block descriptions such as Lao, Gujarati and Gurmukhi, and the Bengali block description seems to have been largely rewritten. I'm looking forward to getting my teeth into those and also the numerous, enticing new block descriptions, such as Phags-pa, N'ko, Sumer-Akkadian (cuneiform) and the like.
So would I recommend it? Certainly. The Unicode Standard is a mine of useful and accessible information if, as I said, you are implementing Unicode-based applications or you are interested in how scripts work. And it's worth replacing your previous version, not only because the new smaller format will make it much easier to handle and keep on your bookshelf, but because of the value of the many useful additions. I'll be picking up my copy at the Unicode Conference in Washington next month.

I received a nice note from Julie Allen, Senior Editor and Project Manager, Unicode, Inc. which contained the following information:
"Thanks for your very nice review of Unicode 5.0. We appreciate your support. As the editor, I especially appreciated your kind words about the clarity and readability of the text. We work hard on that. And I'm glad you noted the many script descriptions and other parts we rewrote."
"Of course, you'll see the book for yourself soon, but I wanted to comment on the integration of the annexes and your comment about Tibetan. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how nice the annexes look. It is true that they are not fully integrated into the book, but we worked very hard to edit them and get them to the same level of quality as the rest of the book. Because they are still published both as HTML on the web and in the book, this process was relatively complicated. We also decided to add the annexes very late in the publication schedule. While it would have been ideal to index them as part of the main book, this would have been impossible to do without throwing off the publication schedule, which was extremely tight even before adding the annexes. Overall, I think the result turned out well. (BTW, Asmus was the one who handled the annexes, and he spent considerable time on them.)"
"You're right that Tibetan hasn't changed from 4.0 and is probably not our strongest script description. Tibetan was an extremely difficult script to reach consensus on with the various groups who helped draft the description. If memory serves, it was one of the last pieces of text we completed for 4.0, so it probably got less scrutiny than some others that we completed earlier. If someone steps forward, maybe we can improve the text next time."

I just got my (printed) copy. At nearly 6lb, it is a pretty hefty book 🙂
I browsed a little, and it looks good. But I always thought that writing systems are both beautiful and fascinating.
I'm looking forward to the weekend when I'll be able to do some serious reading. Your review just makes me want to get there faster…
