Boris Johnson has been warned to protect the area's pubs or risk damaging to communities.
Steve O'Connell, Sutton and Croydon's member of the Greater London Assembly, has written to the Mayor of London to call on him to recognise the role pubs play in communities and do more to protect them.
He welcomed some measures Mr Johnson has made to protect pubs but said more can be done including making it harder for developers to turn vacant pubs into other things and recognising the value of having a pub in walking distance of community centres.

Wow. Beautiful. I missed out huge time. Sadly I would not have been able to surf anyways with a recent rather annoying neck injury.
I need a debate resolved please. The one pic of the dude going right (hoodless), the wave is head and a half ++, and the dude is flying. Wasn't it pretty cold yesterday, and isn't the water in the 30's? My question: is that really from yesterday in OC? It's cause much debate among my crew (all of whom MISSED IT).
Good to see the sandbars working so well.....and kudos to all who got pitted, we deserved this one and can't wait for the next one.

SMWC receives advertising award
March 20th, 2013 | SMWC
By Lisa Luper
Communications Intern
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College received a silver award from the "Higher Education Marketing Report" 28th Annual Educational Advertising Awards. The full-page ad publicly announced the launch of the College's campaign to build a sports and recreation center titled the Pomeroy Pride Campaign.
The Pomeroy Pride ad captures a powerful moment of SMWC student athletes grasping hands in a show of solidarity and team spirit. The ad published in the Tribune Star in October 2012.
The distinguished award symbolizes the excellence and creativity of the SMWC Office of College Relations and its ability to engage audiences.
" We were honored to learn we earned the silver award," said Kristy Fry, director of publications at SMWC. "The ad's message focused on the meaning of Pomeroy Pride, which is a passion to aim for higher standards on every path in life. It also encouraged our community to join our campaign to build a sports and recreation center and to support the epitome of Pomeroy Pride."
The competition, sponsored by the "Higher Education Marketing Report, is the largest education advertising awards competition in the country. This year, nearly 3,000 entries were received from more than one thousand colleges, universities, and secondary schools from all fifty states and several foreign countries.
The judges, a panel of leaders in the field of advertising reviewed each piece, judging creativity, marketing execution and impact of message. More than 345 institutions were recognized as gold, silver and "Best of Show" winners.

Shure SE530x6 by Unique Melody

Unique Melody SE530x6
Universal Fit item created by jacksonchansf, Sep 19, 2012
- Average User Rating:
- 4/5,
Recent User Reviews
"Good improvement over the Shure Flagship"
- 4.0/5,
Pros - Nice bass, very smooth vocals, and large soundstage
Cons - Trebble could be more extended. Separation more or less good depending on tracks. Sound sometimes a bit veiled.
If you are a fan of the Shure sound and have a broken pair of Shure SE530, or would like to try custom IEM but stay with a familiar sound signature and not spend 1000$ right away, the SE530x6 is the way to go. I am having a hard time finding anything wrong with them as I do not have better customs, but they challenge the best headphones I have (ATH ES10). These IEMs are quite easy to drive, and will sound very nice straight out of a Cowon player (though they sound better out of my iBasso DX100).
Besides, if you have them reshelled by UM (which I totally recommend), you will be guaranteed awesome craftsmanship, great service (with Stephen Guo).
In terms of sound, just imagine the SE530, add better comfort and isolation, better soundstage and instrument separation, more control in the bass, and more extension in highs and lows in general. These are really very musical with high quality well mastered tracks.
Just one thing, if you absolutely want the best of the best, these are not supposed to be as good as the top tier customs...I will tell you more once I receive my Miracle !
The price is 469$ with UM (without special decoration), I added 100$ for Sapphire cables. Impressions are around 50$.cRazYee likes this.

Atheist Christmas Cards : Order of St. Nick's Alternative Greeting Cards
I spent a good chunk of time looking for holiday cards that were neither Christmas or Hannukah themed. I have friends and relatives who are Christian, Jewish, Moslem and atheist. I wish I had known about the Order of St. Nick. They have nice atheist cards for your atheist friends. And they're pretty funny too.

1. Jon Hamm
Don Draper might be a little too high-maintenance for us, but who needs Don Draper when you've got Jon Hamm? Note: The tuxedo is optional.
2. Drake
Aubrey "Drake" Graham's star has rapidly been on the rise over the last year, so of course he'd have to make out list. Rapper? Actor? He's so wonderfully multi-talented. And he's loveable to boot—look at that grin! Even better, Drake digs hugs. Funny thing about that; so do we!

Before The Insane was nerfed, I remember watching my wife farm the single required goblin in Badlands for weeks on end. No movement. No interaction. Just pressing one button to kill this poor, goblin vendor every few minutes. Not long after that she began the arduous process of Shen'dralar and let me tell you, none of that was the hardest part. That came after, she it broke her heart to hear that 4.x was removing the most difficult(and for some, the greatest badge of dedication) aspects of the achievement.
The initial requirements of the title were indeed, insane. Now they're just annoying.

Blanchard Explores Interfaith Understanding
Alma College Associate Professor Kate Blanchard is among 25 faculty from across the nation selected by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC) to participate in a national seminar on the teaching of interfaith understanding.
The weeklong seminar will take place Aug. 3-7 at DePaul University in Chicago.
"I view interfaith understanding as perhaps the most important contribution a professor of religious studies can make," says Blanchard. "Most students are already quite tolerant of others' religions, but tolerance is not the same as genuine understanding. I want to learn more ways to help students move beyond lazy tolerance toward thoughtful engagement.
"Being informed about some of the diverse traditions and practices that motivate human individuals and groups is, I think, a large component of what Alma College means by 'preparing graduates who think critically, serve generously, lead purposefully, and live responsibly as stewards of the world they bequeath to future generations,'" says Blanchard.
The seminar will be led by two leading scholars: Eboo Patel, founder and president of IFYC, a Chicago-based organization building the interfaith movement on college campuses, and Laurie Patton, dean of Trinity College of Arts and Sciences and the Robert F. Durden Professor of Religion at Duke University.
"Strengthening the teaching of interfaith understanding at colleges and universities is a high priority at a time when college enrollment is becoming more diverse—by religion, as well as socioeconomic factors—just as American society is becoming more diverse," says CIC President Richard Ekman. "Strengthening participation in American life with greater understanding of the distinctive contributions of different faiths is key to America's future success."

AN eyesore in Old Town has been left vacant for seven years and turned into a dumping ground and drug den, according to guest house owner Margaret Byrne.
Margaret, 66, owner of Gables Guest House on Bath Road, is baffled that nothing has been done with the property in a prime location, and says her business is suffering as a result.
Townsend House had formerly been used as a centre by the Girl's Friendly Society, and was left dormant after a failed attempt to turn the property into flats.
Margaret said she has been approached to sell her own property in order for it to be combined with the ailing house, and since refusing has seen it fall into disrepair.
"We have got a big eyesore stuck in the middle of the nicest streets in Old Town," she said.
"It was shut down completely about seven years ago, and since then it has just been used as a tip.
"It used to be a care home years ago, and after that it got turned into flats. But that shut down within three weeks of being opened, and nothing has been done since. Now it is completely derelict.
"The wall next to me was unstable for a long time, and it has since fallen down. It was never replaced.
"In the mean time we have had rubbish being dumped there and squatters moving in.
"There have been people using it as a drugs den and we have seen people doing deals at the back of the house.
"Every time we see a problem, we have reported it to police, but they always get there too late.
"Around that time there was security put around the property, but people have broken in through the padlocks."
Margaret said having the house next door was putting off her customers, and she is unable to move location because she cannot find a buyer.
"When I look at it I ask myself why it should be shut up any longer," she said.
"Any developer would buy that land and build houses on it straight away.
"The council said they were looking to get a business in there last March, but nothing has happened.
"I am living next door to a tip, and I feel very cross because I just see it getting worse and worse.
"It is damaging to my business, because nobody wants to stay next door to that.
"People have been out to clear the mess about 20 times over the last seven years, but it just keeps coming back. Squatters come in and cut the locks and the whole thing starts over. The iron gate outside has been stolen, and it is not even boarded up.
"It is a sin to see that place going to waste. If the council are desperate for money they should just sell it off. It is heartbreaking to see, and I can't wait any longer for them to make their mind up.
"I can't sell my house now, and I am trapped here."
A Swindon Borough Council spokesman said: "We have been pursuing a number of potential uses for Townsend House over the last few years but, unfortunately, none have come to fruition.
"These have included using the building for educational purposes or, more recently, as a base for small commercial start-up enterprises.
"We are currently reviewing all the options for the building with a view to bringing it back into use as quickly as possible."

With MAX coming up, I'll be a bit more active than I have been lately. To kick things off, I'd like to go in-depth into the MXML and ActionScript editors in Flash Builder. I'll break this up into a few parts, starting with my favorite and yours: Code Hints and Auto-Import.
Code hints, content assist, intelli-sense, whatever you call it, is an essential part of any IDE. Here's an in-depth guide into how Flash Builder 4 implements code hinting.
Here's a quick rundown of what I'll cover:
- Activation – There are many different ways to implicitly and explicitly open the code hints pop-up in ActionScript and MXML. Since I've claimed to be an expert at this tips and tricks thing, I'll go through all of them.
- Auto-Importing – This applies to ActionScript import statements as well as MXML namespace prefix declarations.
- Preferences – There are a few ways to tweak the code hints behavior.
- Tips and Tricks – I've covered a few of these already, but this will be the comprehensive list.
Activation and Context
There are 2 ways to activate code hints: (1) explicitly via CTRL+Space (Mac and Win) or (2) implicitly based on the last character typed and/or the current context. In some cases, contextual code hints are displayed automatically based on the application of a previous hint. These rules apply to both MXML and ActionScript with very few exceptions.
Here are the many ways to implicitly activate code hints:
Tag Names (MXML)
In MXML, pressing "<" will show context-sensitive code hints. Here's the list of contexts that Flash Builder hints for:
- Components – When inside a container (mx.core.Container, mx.core.Repeater, spark.components.supportClasses.GroupBase), code hints shows all mx.core.IUIComponent and mx.core.IVisualElement classes in your project's library path.
- Default Property – If a component defines DefaultProperty metadata, the first tags shown will be tags that are type-compatible. For example, when inside <s:List> with the default property dataProvider:mx.collections.IList, code hints shows ArrayCollection, ArrayList, etc.
- Property Tags – In MXML, properties can be specified as attributes (<s:Button label="…") or tags (<s:Button><s:label>…</s:label>).
Attributes (MXML)
In an MXML tag, pressing space inside the start tag will open property hints for the tag. In Flash Builder 4, we introduced proposal cycling which allows you to filter property code hints in 5 different ways: all, all properties, events, effects, styles. Pressing CTRL+Space will advance to the next filter.
When dropping in an attribute name with [Insepectable] metadata, the popup will automatically show the enumerated values. For Boolean properties, the popup will automatically show true and false.
Type declarations (ActionScript)
In a type declaration "<identifier>:<type name>", pressing ":" will activate the code hints popup with class and interface names in scope, sorted alphabetically. Also, package names show up below the type name list for use with fully qualified references. This activation rule applies to all type declaration statements such as variables, function return type, and function arguments.
Vector type declarations go into this bucket too, e.g. "Vector.<type name>" (the brackets are part of the syntax in this case). When you type out "Vector.<", code hints will open after pressing "<".
Member access (ActionScript)
In a member access expression "<expression>.<identifier>", code hints will show all declared and inherited properties and methods that are visible in the current scope. An expression can be a variable name, class name, function call, literal, etc.
A detailed discussion on ActionScript and MXML scope is beyond this post, but briefly, here are the factors that determine what is hinted for member access expressions:
- Scope of the identifier
- Scope of the current file
- Opened namespaces in the current scope (e.g. "use namespace mx_internal")
When using the "use" directive, code hints will show all namespace-scoped identifiers without the need to explicitly reference the namespace name. For example, if "use namespace mx_internal" is declared above a class, you can type "myUiComponent." and see mx_internal scoped methods like "$addChild". Without the "use" directive, you can explicitly see namespaced scoped members by typing "myUiComponent.mx_internal::". When typing the second ":", code hints will only show members that are in the specified namespace.
Flex 4 States
States and state groups are hinted in MXML when using Flex 4 states syntax as follows:
- State specific property value – label.myState="…" or <label.myState>…</label.myState>
Pressing period after a property name will automatically show state hints if states are defined for the current file.
- State specific elements – <s:Button includeIn="…" or excludeFrom="…"
Dropping in includeIn or excludeFrom will automatically show state hints if states are defined for the current file.
MXML Keywords and Extras
MXML has a number of special cases that are supported in FB, mxmlc, or both.
- implements attribute
Special syntax for implementing interfaces in MXML. Code hints will show interface names and drop in fully qualified references. These hints are automatically shown after dropping in "implements" from code hints.
- Vector type
Code hints will hint for all types inside the type attribute of the <fx:Vector> tag.
- FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication
Member access hints off of FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication will display identifiers from your main application as defined in your project settings. For example, if I define a public function foo in my main Spark Application MXML file, foo() will appear in code hints without an explicit cast of topLevelApplication.
- Styles and Themes
The [Style] metadata tag has an optional theme property that allows a style property to be specified for 1..N themes. If a style does not specify a theme, it is allowed in all themes. "themeColor" in UIComponent is an example of a halo-specific style that would result in a compiler error when using the Spark theme.
ActionScript Keywords
- extends
In a class or interface declaration, typing "extends<space>" will automatically open the list of classes and interfaces to extend.
- implements
In a class declaration, typing "implements<space>" will automatically open the list of interfaces to implement
- new
In a variable declaration "var foo:MyClass = new<space>", typing space will trigger type hinting with the declared type at the top of the list.
- override function
In a class body, typing "override scope function<space>" will automatically propose a list of functions in the specified scope to override for the current class. For example, in a UIComponent, to generate a function stub for updateDisplayList, type "override protected function<space>" and code hints will list protected functions including updateDisplayList. Selecting a function will generate the correct function signature.
- package
If the current file is in a package, but doesn't have a package declaration, typing "package<space>" will show the package name a code hint.
Import Statements
Automatic Importing via Code Hints
For any package-level definition (class, interface, namespace, function or variable), double-clicking or pressing <enter> on a code hint proposal will automatically insert an import in the correct sort order.
Automatic Importing Without Using Code Hints
Some folks are more productive typing a name rather than using code hints to select it from a list. If you're one of those people, you can still get imports automatically added as long as the code hints popup was open when you finished typing the name. It's easier to see this one for yourself.
In a new class, type "var foo:", wait 100ms for the popup, then type "UIComponent;" without actually selecting anything in the popup. You'll see that UIComponent was inserted automatically after typing ";". Pressing <space> instead of ";" will have the same affect. If 100ms is too long to wait, you can specify your own duration in preferences (Flash Builder > Editors > Auto-activate after).
Again, this only works if the popup is open. If you dismiss the popup, you will not get an auto import.
Explicit Auto-Import
The typical use case for explicitly auto-importing is copying and pasting code. If you have a statement like "var foo:NotImportedYet<cursor>;", pressing CTRL+Space at that <cursor> position will automatically import "NotImportedYet" as long as it is unique (i.e. there isn't a type named "NotImportYet2").
Stay Tuned
In Part 2, I'll wrap up the code hints discussion covering the following: skinning, item renderers, MXML namespaces, CSS, preferences, what's missing, known bugs and probably some tips and tricks. Send me a comment if you have a question or want to suggest a topic.
Coming Soon
We've been working hard at our next release, Flash Builder Burrito. While there's been some general public discussions about upcoming features, only certain pre-release customers have had access to the early builds so far. One unofficial way to figure out what we're working on is to search our public bug database at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex.
A slightly more official means is to go to the Flex Team Blog at http://blogs.adobe.com/flex where product manager Andrew Shorten has started posting video sneaks of upcoming Burrito features.Share on Facebook

Canada and Netherlands do battle in the tournament opener for both teams at the 2012 ICC T20 Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Dubai. Canada will be looking to improve their standing in a tournament where they have only 2 wins across the first 2 editions. Canada beat Netherlands in 2008 on the way to a 5th place finish but were upended by the Dutch in 2010 on the way to a winless tournament.
Netherlands, who beat England in the 2009 T20 Cricket World Cup, are one of the teams favoured to cause a stir in this tournament.
They built up valuable experience in this year's CT20 where they defeated CCC, and that squad will be reinforced by the return of key batsman Tom Cooper, a verteran of South Australia.
Canada have struggled for wins lately but can draw a measure of confidence with a victory over Sri Lanka 'A' prior to heading to Dubai.
Rizwan Cheema and Parth Desai have joined the team in Dubai to bolster the squad ahead of the tournament start.

AIR 2 includes, among other new APIs, the ability to launch and communicate with sub-processes via the NativeProcess API. The API can launch executables bundled with your application or installed separately. On Windows, it turns out that the latter can be trickier than expected when running on a 64-bit system.
64-bit versions of Windows can run both 32-bit and 64-bit processes. This makes it possible for users to transition to 64-bit over time, keeping their 32-bit applications with them until 64-bit versions are available. This is why AIR applications, which for now remain 32-bit applications, can run on 64-bit versions of Windows. Most of the time, this works seamlessly.
In order to ease porting 32-bit applications to 64-bit Windows, 64-bit applications continue to use the %windir%\system32 directory for 64-bit libraries. This is great for 64-bit applications, which continue to work, even with explicit references to this directory. However, it would break all 32-bit applications, as they can't load the 64-bit libraries.
To work around this, Windows automatically redirects most accesses to this directory from 32-bit applications running on 64-bit Windows to a different location: %windir%\SysWOW64. (WOW64, despite its name, is the subsystem that runs 32-bit applications on 64-bit Windows.) Again, most of the time this works seamlessly.
This approach will if you're trying to launch an executable from %windir%\system32 if there is no 32-bit version of the same executable in %windir%\SysWOW64. In this situation, you can see in Explorer that the executable exists in %windir%\system32, but when you check the same location via your 32-bit application, the file, due to redirection, will not be present. If this happens to you when using the AIR NativeProcess API, you'll get an error (3214) that the executable you're trying to use is invalid.
The workaround to the workaround? Starting with Windows Vista, you can force direct access to the 64-bit directory by using %windir%\sysnative. It's not a real directory, but it is recognized by the redirection logic and pointed to the real %windir%\system32 directory. For Windows XP, you'll have to resort to system calls to turn off redirection. For a complete description, see the MSDN File System Redirector documentation.

Did you know?
Namaqualand is most famous for its carpets of flowers that bloom each spring. The most prolific orange and yellow Namaqualand daisies grow best in land that has been ploughed or disturbed.
The Caracal Eco Route in the Northern Cape provides a grand old adventure: the mountains are grand; the ocean is grand; and the grassy plains, silent expanses and beautiful spreads of thousands of different species of flowers are grand.
As you journey along this 4x4 mountain-to-ocean adventure, which is offered by the Namaqua National Park in the remote and sparsely populated western side of the country in the Northern Cape province, you may be lucky enough to come across the world's smallest tortoise – the Namaqua speckled padloper – crossing the path in front of your vehicle. (Padloper means 'road walker' in Afrikaans, the predominant language of this area.)
And that's when you realise that grand comes in large and small packages – for this unobtrusive creature has made its way through the centuries, surviving the harsh, arid conditions in its stoical way.
The complete route takes six to eight hours; longer if you take your time and book into the accommodation offered by the park, such as the Luiperdskloof Guest Cottage or a choice of on-the-beach camping sites along the 50km West Coast stretch that comprises the coastal section of the Namaqua National Park.
Wildlife-wise, you're in for a diverse, arid feast, from the long, straight-horned antelope known as the oryx (or gemsbok as it is called in South Africa), to the succulent plant species known as the 'vygie' with its neon-bright flowers, to the seabirds circling the waves.
The route is named after the caracal, a medium-sized cat species (much bigger than a domestic cat, but smaller than the big cats such as lions and leopards) that thrives in arid mountainous terrain. Hopefully you'll spot one along the way, although they're shy and mostly nocturnal. You can be sure, though, that more than one has spotted you as you make your way up the Soebatsfontein or Wildeperdehoek passes, and down into the grassy plains.

Email: email@example.com
How to get here
To get to the Namaqua National Park (you book in for the Caracal Eco Route at the park's Skilpad office, where you will be given your permit and eco-route booklet), take the N7 from Cape Town to Kamieskroon (490km). Turn into Kamieskroon, then immediately left past the hotel. Follow the gravel road (which passes underneath the N7) for 21km to the park.
Best time to visit
August and September are Namaqualand flower season, but the route is a wonderful experience all year round.
Around the area
The West Coast is a wonderful, enigmatic part of South Africa that requires a good few days to explore.
Get around
Self-drive 4x4 is the best option for getting around.
What will it cost
Chalets cost from about R500 to R800 per night, depending on the season, and an additional fee of R200 per night per adult staying and R100 per child per night. Camping is much more cost effective, and will cost a maximum of R115 per site per night, with an additional fee of R64 per adult and R34 per child per night. There are additional daily park fees of about R60 per day per overseas adult visitor and R30 per child. Check the SANParks website or call SANParks for more details.
Length of stay
The route takes six to eight hours if driven in one go, but is best done over two or more days.
What to pack
All your food, water and refreshments, and camping equipment if you are going to camp; rugged clothing for warm and cold conditions; hiking boots; hats; sunscreen; binoculars; cameras; and bird and animal books.
Where to stay
Stay at the Namaqualand National Park's main lodge, the Skilpad Rest Camp, or the remote Luiperdskloof Guest Cottage in the mountains, or take your pick of camping sites such as Platduin, or Kwass and Skuilsklip on the coast. You need to book in advance with South African National Parks (SANParks).

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - St. Augustine's Francis Field will be the site for one of the stops on Mumford and Sons' concert tour this fall.
"The Gentlemen of the Road Stopover" tour, as it's been dubbed, is already striking the right note for St. Augustine's economy.
On Sunday night, the internationally-acclaimed English folk rock band won a Grammy for album of the year. Hours later, tickets to the two day concert in St. Augustine were nearly sold out.
The band's tour is linked to St. Augustine's 450th Commemoration. City leaders say they're already hearing cash registers ringing.
"Destination awareness, of course. Everybody knows where St. Augustine is now through Mumford and Sons, and some of the other marketing and some of the other advertising and promotional things we are doing. Economic impact is the second most important objective. We want visitors to come and to stay longer and of course spend more money," said Dana Ste. Claire, director of the St. Augustine 450th Commemoration.
September is considered a slow month in St. Augustine, but most hotels around the area are already sold out for the fall celebration. Some hotels are offering packages that include concert tickets. Those packages range in price from $799 up to $1,649.
"Mumford is playing Saturday night. The opening act for Mumford is Fun. Yeah, another Grammy award winner. So the planets have aligned wonderfully," said Ste. Claire.
For more information on the 450th Commemoration festivities, visit St. Augustine's web site.

8 Tips and Tricks to Redesign Your Classroom
Editor's Note: Author David Bill is a designer and educator who consulted with The Third Teacher+ on the Remake Your Class project highlighted in the videos below. The tips in this post go along with the companion video. We are excited by the simplicity (and low price tag!) of this great redesign. Hope you'll share any of your own tips in the comments area below.
If you're thinking of completing your own classroom remake project, good for you. I have been helping teachers redesign classroom spaces for the past three years, and have seen this process work for projects of all sizes.
The tips below can be used for smaller scale remakes right way. If you want to do something bigger, you can start planning immediately and schedule some time over a holiday or long weekend. Either way, much of the prep work can be done now, and incrementally over a few weeks as a lead-up to a larger remake project.
Whether you are looking to reorganize one corner or redesign the entire room, here are eight tips that may help you throughout the process.
1. Get Students Involved
Students are your primary users and should be at the center of such a remake process. To begin building excitement, reach out to them early and invite them to a weekend session at school (or someone's garage) where they can be involved from the beginning. Here are some specific ways to involve students:
Create Visual Inspiration
Ask parents, colleagues or friends to donate a variety of appropriate magazines. Have students find and add magazine pictures to create a visual wall of spatial inspiration. The pictures can portray any space at all -- not just schools. The goal is to include any and all places that stand out for students. When complete, have them use sticky dots to indicate the places that stand out and why. If you're strapped for time, find and post the images yourself.
Digitally, you can utilize Pinterest as a way for to create a "board" of inspiration. As you or your students find items or spaces that stand out, they can be pinned to your board. Students then comment on the "pins" that they appreciate.
Students Define Pain Points
Is there anything unsatisfying about the present setup? To find out, use a whiteboard to draw a map of your current classroom, and visually identify the various sections. Students then use sticky notes to write a word or two that indicates how they feel or what types of actions take place while spending time in that section of the classroom.
With the students, define several questions that address your classroom remake project. Then have students talk with ten different people in ten different places and bring ten different stories. Use that research to provide insights into what spaces people like and why.
Student Helpers
Later, when you're building out your redesign, ensure that the students play various roles in building the actual room. Whether it's painting, putting casters on tables, or moving boxes, the more they are involved, the more ownership and pride they will take in the classroom.
2. Research and Brainstorming Methods
You don't need to be a "designer" to engage in this process. All you need is the ability to conduct the research and do the brainstorming that is essential to this process. When remaking your classroom, the first step is to define the right "need" and then ask the right questions.
For example, when defining your need, you might ask, "How could we create more collaborative space in our classroom?" As you identify needs, activities like those mentioned below will help you collect data and then examine the challenge through a different perspective.
Word Association
Place butcher paper on several tables. Break the participants into several groups with each group at a separate table. Write a different random word in the center of each piece of butcher paper. Based upon that initial word, have the individuals write the first word that comes to their mind, and then repeat the process for each subsequent word. Do this for a few minutes. The table participants should then rotate and quickly build upon their group members' words. Once that is completed, have the group select their two favorite words. Those two words must then be used to create a quick prototype that addresses the stated "need."
Classroom Flow
Find a colleague or student who has a free period when you teach, and ask him or her to come and observe how you and your students move about the classroom. Print a diagram of the classroom, and as your observer watches, have him or her draw where you and your students move. One color should be used for tracing your movement and another for the students' movement. The sheet of paper with the tracking will help you determine what areas are used most heavily, and where items should be placed to better support fluid movement throughout your class.
Sticky Notes
After conducting your initial research, determine the areas that need the most focus (e.g. clutter, collaborative space and teacher workspace). For each focal point, have participants draw or write an idea related to the topic on sticky note. The ideas should be posted on a whiteboard. When all the ideas are on the board, they should be sorted and grouped to determine which ideas overlap and which can move forward. These brainstorming rules and guidelines will be helpful in setting up such an experience.
3. Tips for Organizing and Managing Volunteers
When assigning tasks and responsibilities to your volunteers, use something very simple. If the various individuals and groups helping you remake your classroom have regular online access, use a Google spreadsheet. If access is problematic, create a printable spreadsheet with the tasks and responsibilities, and pass it out to all parties involved in the project. The key to such a process is ensuring that it's easy to identify and know who is handling each task and responsibility.
4. Tips for Clearing the Clutter
One of the keys to any classroom remake is removing all of the unnecessary items. Spend some time considering what you most frequently use and where those items should be in relation to where you spend most of your time while in class. Once you define those needs, begin to search sites like Lifehacker for some tips on how to reorganize your materials.
5. Tips for Obtaining Supplies and Support
Once you've defined your required materials for the remake, reach out to your locally owned stores and tell your story. In many cases, the owners may donate or discount certain supplies. And -- oh, by the way -- it wouldn't hurt to bring a few of your students when you are making the ask.
If your project is going to require a bit more money, an Indiegogo campaign may be a viable option. Partner with some of the students and perhaps your media teacher to create a video that will draw in some interest and support.
6. Ideas for Repurposing Materials You May Already Have
Many items in our classrooms and homes are sitting idle when they could easily be repurposed. Do you have old plastic containers from the grocery store, milk crates or old hardbound books? Use them as storage containers in your classroom. Have old CDs? Make them into art. Lacking inspiration? Again, Pinterest may be a great resource for how to reuse your materials in your classroom. If you can't find the types of materials you're looking for to organize things, your town or city may have a group like SCRAP, Urban Ore or Goodwill. Check out those locations, as they will have plenty of reused materials. Also, explore Craigslist, a veritable goldmine for used materials.
7. Organizing Your Tools
Organize your tools in groupings based upon usage and frequency. Consider using containers or boxes that you or you students can easily identify and access, as these will be two of your biggest concerns. Use some color and visual labels to ensure that the containers stand out. If there are doors on your cabinets, consider taking them off so that everyone can see the containers with ease.
8. Additional Resources
- School Architecture Projects: a series of schools built by the Danish architect Rosan Bosch.

I would love to have a team come help with a makeover- sign me up. I have spent 3 of my last 4 years teaching creating a classroom that allows for flow, collaboration, comfortable focused instruction, and warmth. I took out my "teacher desk", bought fun seating and comfy pillows, curtains, a big screen tv for viewing...but when I read this article I was reminded of my frustration that it comes out of my pocket and my free time. I am a tenant and my district is the landlord, and there is some basic maintenance and upkeep that falls to me if I care about our physical space at all- and that is not right.
We are delighted to have David Bill join us at NoTosh, from this summer, to bring more of this kind of work to schools across the country. We've already got some incredibly exciting projects launching this school term, which we'll share as they progress. Hopefully there will be plenty of new ideas to 'steal' for readers' own schools, wherever they are!
I love the detailed ideas of involving students in the classroom renovation process! It definitely supports the classroom modeling concept that I believe in which is "Grow as you go". So many times teachers "clutter" their classrooms for the first day of school and it leaves no place for growth or student input in it's development. I personally start the year off with a blank room with simple sections that blossoms with the students!
As a "greenie" #6 resonated with me as well! Will definitely be using some of those ideas to re-purpose some old items.
Here is a pinterest link with some more ideas of RRR:
Great post as school is starting in the next few weeks!
Thank you for the ideas, it really inspired me to change my classroom design.
A smaller idea from Facebook. I thought this was worth sharing since it's easy and cheap to implement:
Anthony Fitzpatrick, Educator:
A smaller idea would be to get the "contact paper" rolls that are similar to black or white boards. I transformed the walls into collaborative space with minimal cost and no construction issues.
There are tons of ways to get the concepts of these changes in a classroom. I'm completely inspired by this and love figuring out how to make it fit the limitations of my reality.

brilliant hack!!!!
Shake every students hand and make eye contact!! Repeat their name back to them. They are welcome and important!
A teacher was inspired by these videos to redesign a space for her students. In her own words:
After watching your recent post on innovative ways to transform a teaching space, I was inspired to share my DIY classroom adventure.
I was given the opportunity to introduce art to the students of a high needs school for the first time since 1989. With this blessing came a challenge: an open space to hold court. But I saw the potential, and now the school and the students are more colorful.
So for those who can only be offered a space: if you build it, they will come...smiling!
Watch the video here: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10203449014358424
This is great, David! I love that you pointed out that the students should be at the center of the remake as the primary users. My firm's 2nd annual Project Classroom effort takes a 1st year public school teacher's wish list for her classroom and (Extreme Home Makeover style) transforms the space over the weekend. The photos are "pin-worthy" and inspiring so I thought I'd share: http://www.ksqthegarret.com/?p=495&cat=7&aID=true
Holly - Thanks. Great work yourself. Love what y'all have been doing with the project. Kudos. I look forward to following along!

THE GILLARD Government has accused Victoria of playing "pass the parcel" with schools, warning that $1.2billion was now at risk after Ted Baillieu announced his own plans for education funding in defiance of Canberra.
In the latest sign of the diminishing relationship between the state and federal governments, Victoria has decided to go it alone on the Gonski school funding reforms, arguing that the Commonwealth's model would not deliver better results for students.
Federal Education Minister Peter Garrett slammed Mr Baillieu for trying to "pick and choose" how schools are funded in a bid to mask his own government's education cuts.
"After two budgets which saw $550 million cut in education, now the Baillieu Liberal Government wants to pass the parcel to the Commonwealth government and produce funds to support their cuts. It's simply not on," a furious Mr Garrett said this morning.
"Today the Premier and his education minister are producing a new pick-and-choose funding model, which is less than the amount that would be anticipated under the Gonski reforms, expecting the Commonwealth to pick up part of the tab. And they haven't even bothered to discuss it with the Commonwealth."
Victoria's plan would require about $400 million in state and federal funding, and Victoria wants it be phased in from despite next year – despite not yet having any funding commitments from the Commonwealth.
The proposal is based on three components: increased equity funding for all schools; more consistent disability funding; and a proposed voucher system where money would flow to disadvantaged students, regardless of what type of school they attend. However, Mr Garrett described the announcement as an "unnecessary distraction" and accused Mr Baillieu of playing politics. With $1.2billion in federal funding earmarked for Victoria over the next five years, he also warned that this funding had now been placed at risk.
"The fact is that by picking and choosing this model, and walking away, it seems, from a national plan for school improvement, Premier Baillieu is putting at risk potential long term additional support for Victorian students that our plan would deliver," Mr Garrett said.
Mr Baillieu said Victoria had chosen to go it alone after receiving very little information from the Commonwealth about its own plans, despite repeated requests. He said the state's funding proposal was affordable, sustainable and in line with the needs-based principals of Gonski review.
Opposition federal education spokesman Christopher Pyne welcomed the proposal, and said the federal coalition would "look closely at the details".
"The Baillieu Government has now responded to the Gonski review and offered a detailed proposal with meat on the bones, something Federal Labor hasn't managed after five and a half years of promises," Mr Pyne said.
But Mr Garrett said voucher system would not work, arguing that extra resourcing for students with disabilities should go into schools, teachers and modified equipment to assist pupils. Under the Gonski model, there would also be a recurrent loading for students with disabilities, he added.

John Bertrand AM, World Champion, Olympic sailor, Winning Americas cup skipper, Australia's most famous yachtsman.
John and his team recently used a 5.8R VSR RIB during his campaign for the 2009 Etchells world Championship.
'I'm in awe of these new VSR Ribs. Their design and construction are a break through in terms of sea going capabilities. They've totally revolutionized light displacement high speed powerboats. To think that you can travel at nearly top speed on a 20 knot seabreeze day with 5 foot seas, not get wet AND stay in control is amazing!
John Bertrand'
Giorgio Gjergja(Aus Maid), winner of the 1996 Sydney Hobart, Australian winning team 1996 Kenwood cup, large fleet owner.
Hi Tim,
As you know I have a number of boats including the Couta boat, the Chris Craft and an electric boat. I used to have an aluminium runabout that I replaced with a VSR Rib.
I have to tell you that it is the best investment I could have made and is one of the boats that I enjoy most of all. I use it to go to my 55ft motor yacht, to commute to the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club, to go to Queenscliff, to take family and friends around the shores of Portsea all the way to Rye and Dromana.
It has just been a fantastic and versatile boat; very, very safe and even if it is windy, I can go out on this boat and not get wet. At 10 knots, 20 knots and 30+ knots I still don't get wet!
It is easy to drive and for the level of investment, provides very versatile usage. It is even good to go calamari fishing in!
I have tested the boat in all sorts of different conditions in the bay and have always felt safe; even in 1.5 meter waves I don't get wet!
A fantastic craft and congratulations; I'm glad I bought one.
Kind regards
Wooden Boat Shop recently supplied two 5.8C VSR ribs to the organising committee of the Perth 2011 ISAF world Championships. The event scheduled for 3 - 18 December 2011 is the biggest Olympic class sailing regatta on the world calendar. It is expected that most of the teams representing nations at the championships will be using VSR ribs.
"For our Emerging Nations Program that we are running as a lead up to Perth2011 we needed two RIB coach boats. From a coaching point of view the vertical bowed VSRs were an obvious choice. They are capable of keeping up with a RSX board sailing over 20 knots and at the same time keep the coach dry. They are well built, economical and even came in our aqua blue colour." - John Longley AM event Director.
The emerging nations program that is an initiative of the Perth 2011 committee intended to give emerging sailing nations a leg up in the sport. The idea of this program was a key factor in the success of Perth's bid for the events.
4.9 VSR Technical Specifications
The smallest model of the VSR boats. Model dedicated to serve for small sailboats classes operations and support.Small regarding the size, but rich on room onboard. The unique hull shape and seagoing ability are parameters resulting in good proportion of inertia and levels of deceleration working over a prolonged periods of time. This pays off as less stress to human body, safer and comfortable handling and use of the boats itself. The boat is characteristic with dry ride over the sea increase the crew comfort.
The low weight and specific hull design makes perfect weigh/power ratio the boat performs great with power range around 25HP maximum to 40 HP outboard engines heaving low fuel consumption.

33 Products to Brighten Your Look (and Your Day)
Tietjens used Vani-T's Rapid One Hour Spray Tan. The color is universal
and customizable. Since the goal was a light bronzed look, Tietjens
recommended showering one hour after application. "You can leave it on
longer depending on the depth of the tan you want," she said. "The
formula is super hydrating and natural (it has vitamin C, A, and E) so
it won't get streaky on your skin. And best of all, the color itself is
rich and chocolatey, not orange."
Tietjens advised prepping skin by exfoliating it with either a mitt or a body scrub. "Make sure to pay extra attention to elbows and knees," she said. "Those are the places on our bodies that can be drier, and you don't want the color to settle there."
Pro Tip: To make your tan last longer with frequent shaving, try a razor that has blades surrounded by moisturizing strips. The moisturizing strips will help keep the skin hydrated and make it less likely that you will shed the color you've applied. We like the Schick Intuition Plus Razor.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated February 2nd, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: Look, there are many web pages all based on hatred, all based on war, conflict and treachery. My brother, you must espouse love day and night; espouse endearment. Paradise is the abode of love. You will only have a brief life [in this world], then you will die and pass on to the Presence of Allah. Allah speaks of a chain of 70 yards for the unbelievers. That means they will be able to move at most 70 yards in hell. Allah says only 70 yards. One cannot go anywhere one likes in hell. They can move for seventy yards at most, only as far as that chain's length. It is such a dreadful place, such an abode of suffering. Being aware of all these, it would be a grave mistake to still instigate unbelief, hatred and anger. They must determinedly concentrate on love, affection and brotherhood. Paradise is the abode of love, it is the abode of endearment. We all have brief life spans, don't we? Allah wants love from us. What would you do with hatred and grudge? They constantly talk about acting despotically, about blood and pus. In the Qur'an Allah says that He will have them drink blood and puss. That is because they constantly ask for blood; they want to chop up the Shias, the Alewites, the Bektashis, the Wahabis, they want to chop up the Jews and Christians as well. Blood, they constantly ask for blood. Allah knows the truth, Allah says since you do ask for blood- it seems as though-since they ask for blood that intensely, Allah makes them drink blood in the Hereafter. Allah says; "I will have them drink blood and pus. That will be their drinks." Of course that is not what Almighty Allah says, but that is the retribution for such behavior. That is because those people constantly ask for blood and pus as far as we see.
MS. AYLIN: Master, about what you have just said, there are very few Muslims in the Scandinavian countries, yet they all are in conflict with each other.
ADNAN OKTAR: Well, of course, also in England they are only a handful and are unable to step outside, they cannot wander around with their headscarves. It is the same for the Jews as well, they go out to streets in secret, they are being beaten and slandered; for the Christians as well, they also are belittled and defamed. Well, make alliances, unite, protect and watch-over each other. What if they are Alewites or Sunnis; they all say "La ilahe Illa Allah Mohammed ar-Rasul Allah [There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is His Messenger]"

Edgar Davids believes Barnet are getting "better and better" after the Bees 0-0 draw against Port Vale.
However, the Dutchman added his side lacked "that clinical finish" which would have turned the draw into victory.
Barnet dominated the first half and were unfortunate not to go into the interval ahead after creating several good opportunities.
The second period was tighter and Vale goalkeeper Chris Neal did brilliantly to deny John Oster from close range.
League Two top scorer Tom Pope had the Valiants best chance but his header struck the bottom of the post and the Bees deserved their point.
Davids said: "If you have a display of football like this against the top of the league than you can't ask for more. We played such great football and it's getting better and better.
"Hopefully the three points will come. Technically we were great and in attack we were great.
"When you play against Port Vale it's hard because they're a team in form. You don't know what to expect. We could've had three points.
He continued: "We lack that clinical finish. We played well but in the final third we have to score the goals. If you play well and it is 1-0 or 2-0 then you be more relaxed.
"Every game is a final for us and with Barnet you don't know what to expect. But I hope we can continue playing the good football we are playing."

IceGenerator is a direct streaming generator for Icecast/Shoutcast.
It runs as a daemon. Three child processes handle all the stuff.
A fourth (optional) child cares about telnet communication.
Main idea for this program is radio automation on a Icecast/Shoutcast server.
If you have many server processes and CPU saving is your priority,
you can use IceGenerator.
Obviously mp3s/oggs will be already resampled to allow their streaming
on your bandwidth capability.

Winner Announced for 2013 Bowles Endowment Award
The American University Library is pleased to announce that the 2013 winner of the Vincenza and W. Donald Bowles Endowment Award for the Study of Productivity, Income and Poverty in the United States is Elizabeth Crowe, a PhD Candidate in the Department of Public Administration and Policy in the School of Public Affairs at American University. Crowe received both a BS and MA in Economics from the Department of Economics at American University.
Crowe's research examines the use by low income families of public assistance from government programs and private assistance from community based non-profit organizations and others. Her work is an excellent example of the socially conscious and innovative scholarship for which American University is known. The importance of building an understanding of income inequality cannot be overstated—and the research undertaken by Ms. Crowe supports Dr. Bowles' vision of better understanding the income gap faced by our society. Dr. Edmund Stazyk, Assistant Professor in the Department of Public Administration and Policy, expressed enthusiasm for Crowe and her research, stating: "Elizabeth is an earnest and skilled researcher conducting original research in the field of public policy."
The Vincenza and W. Donald Bowles Endowment was established by Professor Emeritus Donald Bowles to support an undergraduate or graduate student conducting research or other scholarly or artistic efforts to understand the relationships between productivity, income, and poverty in the United States. In Dr. Bowles' own words: "Widening income disparities and deep inequalities of wealth holdings highlight a classic source of friction in our democratic republic—namely, the need for continual reassessment of balancing collective government efforts to improve the human condition relative to private efforts toward the same end. How to achieve this appropriate balance is a question dating to our very founding as a nation."
The dissertation research conducted by Ms. Crowe reflects her keen interest in both public policy and social justice. Crowe states that this research
will provide an understanding of how low-income families patch together assistance from a disjointed, sometimes dysfunctional safety net of services. The findings of this research will be significant for researchers, policy makers, and frontline workers delivering services to these families. For researchers, the findings in this work will expand the definition of the safety net and ground future research in a more comprehensive framework reflecting the real world choices made by families under financial stress. For policy makers and frontline workers, this research will provide a roadmap for better coordination of safety net services. For these reasons, this is a translational research project with the potential to ground multidisciplinary collaboration by bringing the knowledge created through academic research to the structuring of point of service support for low-income families.
The applications for the award were truly outstanding and represented a wide range of disciplines and research concepts. The panel of faculty judges was happy to witness firsthand the high level of scholarship, creativity, and interest in social justice exhibited by the participating American University students. Receiving so many excellent submissions in the first year of this award is a testament to the caliber of the student body. The American University Library was pleased to have such a strong pool of applicants and is delighted to recognize Elizabeth Crowe as the 2013 recipient.

I would like to convert my websites to Android or iphone apps. Is there any easy method or Sites which convert website to apps. I am not a techy guy i don't know either java or flash. so any tip would be helpful.
Well… if it is nothing more than a simple static site or blog I doubt it would do any good to convert it to a a native application. I get the feeling though that is what it is. In that case it would probably be more purposeful and appreciated by your audience to merely make it "mobile friendly" than create android and iphone native apps.
My site is in Joomla 1.5 , i am planning to create app for my site where i add latest movies every single day. As 20% of the internet users are now using it cell phones it would be better if i could i create an app and deliver my content to user cell phones.
PhoneGap will allow you to convert a html application.
However ColdFusion is a serverside generated HTML and thus cant be converted using PhoneGap unless the entire application is html with ajax calls to ColdFusion for the data.
I dont know of any technologies that will allow you to convert a server generated html type language to a native app, I dont believe one exists.
Converting a Joomla website to a native application isn't going to happen without much work involved unless you settle for using something like Phonegap.
A direct copy of a site as an app will likely get rejected by apple as it's against their guidelines.
There are two ways to convert your website for iPhone/Android. Either you can develop native application for iPhone/Android application. By native application we mean, the application will be developed using supported programming language and will run on device OS.User can download the application from their respective application selling market.It has benefit over look and feel of the application and performance of the application.
The other way is to make existing application to mobile compatible i.e mobile web application. It will run on server and user can access the site on device browser.
As mentioned above, you cannot simply convert it to a native app. PhoneGap can be used for writing html and javascript to generate that to native platforms. But as you said, you are not that techy. So I would suggest you outsource this to someone that can do it for you. But then you will also need a web service for the app to communicate with
I hope this one help youhttp://freeandroidappmaker.com/
Simply create a mobile mark-up of your site and have it redirect users who are using mobile devices. I'm guessing you're site isn't built up for @media queries and I believe that would be the easiest way to do it. People don't like downloading apps when the information is posted right on a site!
You might try www.mobilejoomla.com and setup your site for mobile devices.
just go to joners-inventor.appspot.com and download the software and create websites or apps for android . This offer is made from Google itself . No codding is required
Perhaps your best bet is to create a mobile version of your pages. Then people would browse those pages on their mobile phones and the other pages on their desktops. I notice that Wordpress blogs display differently (more user-friendly) on mobile devices now without extra work on the blogger's end. So that's another route you can go if your site can be converted in that way.
But you cannot convert your site into a native iPhone app for iTunes. That is against Apple's guidelines. That is simply out of the question.
