All-angle comparison of the 8MP phones
You can't live without a constant access to the world wide web? Then we're of the same blood group. Fortunately, the producers of 8-megapixel mobile phones have accommodated our needs, offering convenient options for….
All four models are global GSMs (they can be used all over the world), but the situation is different when we're talking about the support of 3G, which is limited to Europe and Asia only. They say that LG Renoir and Sony Ericsson C905 shall support the frequencies used by AT&T, but it is not known yet when they'll be launched on the market.
Fortunately for all of you availing of Wi-Fi at home or living/working close to wireless Internet locations, you will be able to benefit from it with their 8-megapixel phones (with the exception of Pixon). Outside such locations you'll have to rely on HSDPA 7.2 Mbit/s (3.6 Mbit/s if you have C905). What else does a man need?
Since we've become acquainted with the Safari browser of iPhone and Opera Mobile 9.5 in the latest models by HTC and Samsung OMNIA, we have been left with the impression that a touch-sensitive screen is more appropriate for browsing. However, while we were writing the article you're reading now, this assumption was seriously undermined.
The only feature in which Pixon and Renoir outperform their "non-touch " colleagues is the navigation that is done by dragging your finger over the screen, instead of by pressing the D-pad. The viewing itself, however, is hindered by the inconvenient gradual zoom in/out (it cannot be done by tapping as in the case of Opera Mobile 9.5), and there's no pan view either. Such is provided by the Symbian browser of INNOV8 and that of C905, which is accompanied by handy shortcuts. Sony Ericsson have done a great job with their non-smart phones software and it lives up to the smartphone's standards. Having in mind that all four devices can open heavy websites without a problem, maybe it comes as a little surprise that INNOV8 comes first, followed by C905, Renoir and Pixon.
Some things you just can't say on the phone. For example, you wouldn't want to recite haiku to your loved one. In such cases it's better to use text or multi-media messages or email. And you need a convenient keypad, too.
It's clear that any phone nowadays (except the most downmarket ones) offers possibilities for writing text and multimedia messages and emails. Only the setting of the email is a little bit different. For example, Pixon and INNOV8 have disappointed us, because they are not equipped with automatic settings even for the more popular email services. This is not what someone would expect from top 2008 models, provided that much more basic phones have this function. Renoir and C905 are equipped with this feature and we did not have to remember ports and addresses, in order to set them.
All remaining text messages and email options on the whole are copied without any significant differences and since account setting is hardly a thing you're likely to do every day, we decided not to give too much importance to this omission in the Samsung products. Therefore, we shall not assess this category.
Wanting to type text messages without having a convenient method of typing in text is like wanting to have a party in a student hostel without having any alcohol. In other words, you still have the chance, but it's very very small.
Pixon is equipped with three types of handwriting recognition, screen digital keypad and QWERTY, when you turn it. The latter is extremely convenient, with keys that are big enough and well arranged (with SPACE in the middle and not to the right like in OMNIA). Every touch is accompanied by a light vibration, so that there is no danger that you miss a letter without being aware of it. Renoir is also equipped with a handwriting recognition and its QWERTY keypad looks good, although it's not as convenient as that of Pixon because of the smaller size of the keys. On the whole, it's better to use the normal option, which is generally as good as INNOV8's hardware buttons. They have the advantage of being separated by a row from the upper edge and therefore they're easy to use even by people with bigger fingers. C905 won't be a problem, either, but the buttons are shallow are pressing them is not fun.
Any way, if you're not a text-messages freak, any of the four phones would do a decent job for you.

i hate phone arena the lg renoir should of come out first if not second but to lose to the sony that is a clear sight that phonearena some how hates LG. which will always be better than a crappy samsung!

The review made some valid points. I have just got a Renoir and do like it. However there are some issues. The biggest one for me is in the music playback. The phone gives you the option of vieiwng an ALbum. However when you do the tracks are displayed in alphabetical order, not the track order of the Album. You have to play it in this order as well. The ID3 tags have the TRACK field correctly populated. This is absolutely crazy. This should be addressed by a software update. The zoom within the browser could be better. When you press and hold the screen it zooms in or out, but I haven't been able to find how to control the zoom level. The manual doesn't tell you either. The Renoir has the potential to be an excellent phone/media player/camera combo, but currently the software lets it down.

I too thought that the LG Renoir is alot better but having the phone for a month and having issues with the software bugs where the phone freezes for days on end. The only cure is to unplug the battery and let it sit for a couple days battery less ... Kinda gets to you ... Thats why I traded mine in for a Pixon, I hardly used WiFi anyway and GPS dont need it much when you have navigation in your car. This Pixon is my tempo phone until Nokia comes out with a 8mp touch screen phone....

I completely agree,GSMArena review was much better,come on Phonearena,Lg's Renoir has Dolby Sound that you did'nt talk about,and it's way better the N96 copy INNOV8 (that of innovate has nothing) and touchscreen crapy Pixon,and I wo'nt tell nothing about Sony Ericsson C905 ¬¬'
4. (unregistered)
what do you mean?? the pixon touchscreen works very well. and the innov8 isnot a copy, its better than the n96. but u dont like the camera of the 8510
6. (unregistered)
have you ever see 1 one of these phones? cuz a friend of mine have renoir and his menu LAGS and the DOLBY SOUND is weaker than my SE W200. but go on and thrust anyone you want, who cares
3. (unregistered)
that depends on your personal opinion. i also dont like lg. the menu is slow and ugly. and the music player. omg. i hate it. i think its a very good test. and thank you phonearena. and the c905 cant be better. because it cant play vids and also a bad video resolution. I will buy the Pixon.
5. (unregistered)
as I metioned before, this site totally biased towards samsung phones. Its really obvious that Samsung paid him for this review to make their phones the best. BTW this site really hates LG and SE phones! Anyway I will never trust your reviews, neither do the readers. P.S. you must learn from GSMarena.

but i also think that the samsung is a way better multimedia device. averybody is just talking about wifi and the camera. but the phone has much more to offer. and i think that the touchscreen, and especially(and what i think is very importan(for me)) the music player is way better
9. Stan (unregistered)
In this review, if you add the overall camera performance, Sony Ericsson C905 surprisingly wins! Score: 3.5 + 5 + 3 = 11.5
11. (unregistered)
Renoir & C905 are the best... But phonearena hates them because they are better than Samsung,and do not trust ever this site!!!!!

gsm quoted"SE C905: 9/10 • Samsung INNOV8: 5/10 • Samsung Pixon: 7/10 • LG Renoir: 9/10 Final words There we are then, the 8 megapixel shootout is over and the crossfire is about to begin. Doing all those tests was fun but it was hard too. Now that there's seemingly the simplest thing left to do, we'd rather sit back and let everyone do their own math. It was our best effort - and our pleasure - to weigh up and compare all there is to a cameraphone. We know there's no way for every single feature on our list to be equally relevant to all users alike. So, if you're about to make up your mind, we suggest you only look at those that are most important to you. However we can still offer you a quick summary of our overall impression, without getting into numbers. If you are looking for the universal performer, then the Samsung INNOV8 is your definite choice with excellent image results. Besides first-rate stills, it also delivers VGA video recording 30fps or slow motion QVGA videos at 120fps and has a large display. If you are after the best camera interface and probably the best camera handling and controls, then Sony Ericsson C905 is your game. If you're really into touchscreen and massive high-res displays, the more balanced cameraphone seems to be LG Renoir with a load of camera features and great image results. It's also fully geared in terms of video recording with VGA@30fps, slow motion QVGA videos at 120fps or time-lapse QVGA clips. While the Samsung Pixon falls behind the Renoir in terms of image quality and camera features, it definitely outperforms the LG mobile with superior user experience thanks to the well organized interface and capable video recording with WVGA@30fps and high-speed QVGA vidz."

read reviews at mobilereview. they have more detailed reviews. gsmarena favours nokia but also blasts them at times. and lets just forget about phone arena.
14. (unregistered)
I was unsure if you were unfair and untrustable in your reviews, but now I am sure. Just change your website name to something like SamsungArena. At least that way, no one will expect you to be fair lol.

SamsungArena that is so true, i loved it
15. Manikandan (unregistered)
C905 and LG renoir is better when compared to samsung phones and i would feel that phonearena supports nokia and samsung and hates sony ericsson,other products....
16. Manikandan (unregistered)
Even in the review of 8 megpixel phone's phonearena mainly supports the nokia and samsung phones...LG renoir is really an good one whicn can produce absolute good pics than pixon and innov8..likewise C905 also produces great pics...still this site is biased towards one side review..which is really bad

it's all about the person and their taste. all of these phones looks really nice, but who is some else to judge for you? GSMarena and Phone arena can say what they want, all people need to do is see for themselves. i think all three of these brands are good, but when it comes to the phone itself i'd like to get hold of it and then play around with a bit to see if the phone suits me. that's what people should do, find out for yourselves and not just go on with someone elses opinion. i checked out the picture quality comparion of these phone and they seem pretty good, the comparison with the lighting conditions (low, medium, high) is affected by the angle you hold the phone, so i won't really take their word on that, but as for the ones that are taken outside (boat, amusement park) those pretty much a lot about the picture procesing power. and they all look pretty good to me.

Well, I agree with some of you that the review wasn't fair enough and somehow a little bit biased towards the samsung phones, but I'm still thankful to this website for this review and I appreciate there effort to review the 4 phones and compares their cameras shooting and video quality where its impossible for me to do it myself, so thanks a lot. I think that the LG Renoir deserves a higher score and its much better than Pixon, I don't know if the Renoir xenon flash is really that bad as its in the pictures taken in the dark where the last dark picture at the indoor test looks so bad that it makes you think the xenon doesn't even flashed xD... a candle will make more light than that ^^' Also, you didn't count the WiFi availability in the Renoir that the Pixon doesn't has (I'm wandering why such a good phone with a high technology like pixon doesn't have WiFi!! ) , its impossible for me to buy a phone that doesn't has WiFi Another feature that phone arena didn't mention at the review that the LG Renoir has a Dolby Mobile sound enhancement which really does make a different when switched on. They didn't also mention other camera features that only the Renoir has like Art shot and Beauty shot, they are really cool and useful. I don't know if there are any other features the Renoir has that aren't mentioned xD. AS for me, I think the LG Renoir is the best among these phones and I was going to buy it soon till I saw the Nokia N97, I think it looks much better than all of these 4 phones but unfortunately, it has a 5 megapixel camera which I'm really disappointed with it. If it has an 8 megapixel camera, I would definitely go for it. WHAT A SHAME NOKIA >.< Right now, I say Renoir is the best .. (I hope the xenon flash is much butter than it's shown here and at GSM arena)

MobileMe shuts down tomorrow, time to migrate to iCloud
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Internet, Storage
When Apple announced iCloud a year ago, it was with the intention of making cloud storage, syncing, and services mainstream. Demoting the computer to just another client that can access your centrally stored data. iCloud has been a success, but we know there are still some of you out there clinging on to your MobileMe iDisk storage for dear life. Well, while Apple has allowed you to continue to use the service, it's now coming to an end. MobileMe will shut its doors for good tomorrow, June 30th. You can still migrate your data to iCloud, and you should probably do that. There's no iDisk replacement though, so you might wanna just drag and drop any of that stuff over to Dropbox, which is a free (and awesome) replacement.

Mixtape USB Brings Back the 80s
Posted by Jenny Lewis Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Storage, USB
Remember mixtapes? Not playlists burned to a CD, but real mixtapes on cassette, passed around among friends or maybe given to your crush. All the thought that went into choosing the songs, the agonizing over what to put on the cover, the finger crossing that the last track wouldn't get cut off due to the tape ending… Mixtapes were awesome. Well, we're not here to start a revolution (not a cassette revolution, at least), so here's the next best thing.
The Mixtape USB Memory Stick has a capacity of 64 mb, which translates to about 12 tracks or 1 hour of music - just enough to get your point across musically. The stick comes packaged in a gift box designed to look like an honest-to-goodness mixtape. There's even dedicated space to write out the track listing by hand, and spots to fill in To: and From:, so your BFF or crush never forgets who used those Phil Collins tracks to express their true feelings. Design house SUCK UK is responsible for this bit of retro brilliance.

best meatball & bbq chicken bahn mi
The map showing this in West Oakland is wrong because the zip code is really 94606. It's on EAST 18th, and the actual cross street is 14th Ave
bouncing beef is my favorite.
Remarkably fresh, clean flavored stimulating food. Run don't walk!
Ever since the new owner took over, this place has been transformed into a modern Vietnamese restaurant. Although it shares a franchised name to make the amazing Banh Cuon, the menu is authentic Vietnamese with French influence. Iit is a family restaurant, as mom does all the cooking and the owner and her brother does the serving. Vegetables and herbs are sourced at local farmers market, as is the tofu, beers and wine. But the owner is so understated about it all it is refreshing! The lunch hour is hectic, but go for dinner and it is one of the most relaxing places to go for yummy food and drinks. She installed bike racks and planter boxes (which she waters with left over water from guests tables!) on the sidewalk.
The Dragon Rouge Vietnamese Bistro is Outstanding. Great atmosphere with a great view of the Estuary and the Park Street Bridge, as it enters Alameda. The menu is fairly small in items but giant in its' adventures of flavors and beautifully presented Vietnamese dishes. The staff is very professional yet friendly. From the Greeters, and the Runners, to the Servers, you always feel welcome and part of the family. The co-owners, Dan and Jimmy, are always around to answer questions or extend their greetings and best wishes. A full bar compliments this wonderful experience.
great small plates with asian flare. a bit pricey when you add up all the dishes you end up ordering... yet worth it!

I became of a fan of Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch" a few years ago and it is one of the few shows I plan on watching (I'm still to cheap to buy a DVR). I'm continually amazed at the management styles displayed by the captains. Apparently, to successfully run a crab boat, this is what you need to do:
- Work your crew for 48 hours or more straight.
- Belittle, demean, yell and terrorize everyone beneath you.
- Constantly smoke cigarettes - both you and your crew.
- Keep your crew on deck in 24 foot seas and beyond.
The deck boss and more senior deck hands then apply those rules to how they "supervise" those below them in rank.
Seriously, this show seems to show working conditions from another era. Last night's episode showed one of the captains tearing apart a deck hand for what to me seemed like a break down in communication. After that incident, another deck hand said something like "Good thing it is 2009, because if it was 1709 and that happened someone would have been thrown overboard." That isn't exactly what was said but you get the idea.
First, I can't believe working conditions like that are allowed to exist. I'm guessing OSHA has no power on a crab boat fishing 200 miles away from a port.
Second, I can't imagine running my business like that. Period. Because if I did, I'm sure our staff would think it is time to look for a new place to ply their trade.
That being said, I look forward to next week's episode.

Further trade reforms in Morocco could improve economic efficiency
By expanding its multilateral commitments in the services sector, which account for 60 percent of real gross domestic product (GDP), Morocco could reinforce the predictability of its trade regime, make its economy more attractive for foreign capital, and consolidate reforms in areas such as tourism and others in which the country has comparative advantages, said a World Trade Organization (WTO) report.
The report also says that liberalization of the agricultural sector and simplification of customs tariffs would improve economic efficiency and enhance Morocco's adherence to the principles of the WTO. Such reforms could include the abolition of variable duties and the reduction of the number and levels of tariff rates. This would somewhat simplify Morocco's trade regime, further complicated by membership of several overlapping trade agreements.
A relatively diversified economy and sound macroeconomic policy have helped Morocco to contain the negative effects of recurrent droughts and have contributed to the stabilization of its currency, according to a report on the trade policies and practices of Morocco released June 18 by the WTO Secretariat.
The WTO report, along with the policy statement by the Government of Morocco, served as a basis for the third Trade Policy Review (TPR) of Morocco by the Trade Policy Review Body of the WTO from June 16-18. — (menareport.com)

What interests me about photography as an artist is the image removed from its context. The re-contextualization of the image has long questioned the "truthfulness" of the photograph. Whether through juxtaposition or manipulation, the photographic image is more and more the outcome of artistic vision rather than a tool for evidence.
Photography is poetry. Images in sequence become words in the poem. Often mundane images become pregnant with meaning and transcend their evidential stigma through sequencing. I often link good photography with the way a haiku captures a simple moment between its lines with profound clarity.
In my own works I strive to create these visual poems; pulling from anything that plants the seeds of inspiration in me. My finished works are often presented in a book which gives the viewer a more intimate way to experience the work. As an artist my intent is to create work that inspires others and questions our perception of Truth.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/6/2011 (2252 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The name of Rihanna's current North American trek is the Loud Tour, but there are plenty of adjectives she could have used.
Pick one -- flashy, sexy, daring, glamorous, high-tech, dirty -- they would all do. And all would be accurate since there are plenty of words to use to describe a concert where one minute the star is simulating sex with a fan on a stage that sank into the ground before disappearing, only to re-emerge riding a pink tank that shoots T-shirts while a group of dancers dressed in sexy camouflage danced around it.
A crowd of 12,000 fans turned the MTS Centre into a club Saturday night -- complete with the largest concentration of high heels ever to appear in the downtown arena -- and witnessed an over-the-top two-hour show filled with almost every concert trick in the book that ranks as one of the biggest spectacles since Cher was last here in 2005.
"Winnipeg, one question: Who runs this town tonight?" she asked at one point.
The roar of screams told her everything she needed to know.
The 23-year-old beauty from Barbados took to the stage riding a giant glow ball that opened to reveal the star wearing a sparkling blue coat and hot- pink high-heeled boots while singing the hit, Only Girl (In the World), showing off her pure, booming voice that sets her apart from some of her peers.
The stage featured a moving sidewalk, four circular pods that flipped over and became video screens, two giant screens behind the stage and a pair of screens that flanked the stage high above two platforms that allowed her to get close to fans on both sides.
There were also two holes in the stage for a select group of about 100 fans near the risers that held her five-piece band.
Besides her band and two-backup vocalists, Rihanna was joined on stage by eight dancers who performed high-energy choreographed routines and served as her muse.
Following the opening number, which included an explosion of fireworks (did you expect anything less?), Rihanna dropped her blue coat to reveal a jewel- encrusted bikini for Disturbia. It was the first of numerous costume changes that showed off her fashion sense and plenty of skin.
Rihanna's scantily clad dancers stopped grinding long enough to rip the tuxedo off her to reveal a white PVC suit before chaining her to the poles for the single S&M. Her gyrations on top of the male fan from the crowd came at the conclusion of Skin.
For some in the crowd (this writer, included) the night's biggest attraction was the chance to see Cee Lo Green, the rotund Atlanta native who evolved from a little-known rapper into a soul powerhouse and worldwide sensation, thanks to his work with Danger Mouse in the rap-pop group Gnarls Barkley and the Grammy-winning viral hit F-You, the phrase boldly proclaimed on a bright red T-shirt being sold at the merch booth.
The aloof Green was backed by a DJ, two dancers and three LED video screens for his brief 40-minute set that would have been better in a club.


text: Topline Data Show That Plecanatide Met Primary and Key Secondary Endpoints NEW YORK, Jan. 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synergy Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:SGYP) today announced that plecanatide, its investigational oral drug for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC), was well tolerated and met the primary and key secondary endpoints of a Phase IIb/III clinical study. Full study results will be presented at a major scientific meeting this year. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeat-dose, dose-ranging study was designed to determine whether plecanatide could increase the number of complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBM's) and impact other parameters such as stool consistency, straining and time to first bowel movement in patients with CIC. The 12-week study, which included 951 CIC patients at 113 clinical sites in the United States, evaluated 3 doses of plecanatide (0.3, 1.0, 3.0 mg) plus a placebo arm. Evidence of increasing efficacy was seen at increasing dose levels. Notably, the 3 mg dose in the current trial demonstrated a 19% (p=0.009) overall responder rate (vs. placebo of 10.7%), as well as demonstrating a mean increase in CSBMs over the 12-week treatment period of 2.13 (p<0.001). In addition, statistically significant improvements were seen in key secondary endpoints. The incidence of diarrhea at 3 mg was observed to be 9.7% (vs. placebo incidence of 1.3%). "We look forward to presenting the full results of this clinical study, which confirmed the efficacy and safety of plecanatide," said Dr. Gary S. Jacob, President and CEO of Synergy Pharmaceuticals. "This trial also represents a major milestone for Synergy. We pioneered the study of analogs of the human hormone uroguanylin to treat gastrointestinal disorders in an effort to identify an agent that would normalize bowel movements with minimal diarrhea." "Based on the results of this trial, we are convinced that plecanatide has the potential to be a safe, effective and much-needed new treatment for millions of patients who are living with chronic constipation," Dr. Jacob added.

They will be heading to Greenland to attach satellite tags to the huge animals as they laze about on the ice.
The tags will beam information up to a satellite in space, which will then let the scientists know where the walruses are travelling each day.
Readers of the Newsround website will also be able to see where the beasts are moving on its Walrus Watch map.
At the moment, nobody knows where the walruses of Greenland migrate to in the summer.
Cool facts about walruses
Walrus expert Erik Born, from the Danish Polar Institute, said: "We want to find out where they are going."
The satellite tags will also help scientists to find out more about the threats that the big beasts face. The project has only just started - and once the walruses are tagged, we're going to link to the map showing what they're up to.
In Greenland, they are hunted for their meat by local people, and companies searching for oil may also be disturbing their feeding areas.
And like polar bears, walruses could also be under threat from global warming.
Rising temperatures will melt the ice walruses like to rest on after their trips out to sea.
A BBC reporter will be joining the scientists as they travel out to Greenland.
Rebecca Morelle said: "Walruses are enormous, they have huge tusks and beady red eyes - and they are famous for their bad tempers.
"It will be really exciting to see what they are like in real life!"

Quote:I can understand the system being down causing problems when lodging your application...........
But if its anything like the UK, each passport arrives back from the embassy in its own sealed envelope with your name on it, so the only system needed is someone to flick through them and find yours.
This all sounds more like the BLS we have been promised and are dreading
Quote:yah.....luckily I got it today easily but there were other people with problems it looked like. I can't say 100 percent it was BLS's fault, but it looked like it. I saw about 3 people say they got a confirmation that their passport was there, but BLS claimed there system didn't show it being processed. The supervisor was scrambling in the back room looking for a few of them to see if they were there.
Quote:Yah i just think they wouldn't give it back to me because they want to scan the barcode on back before I sign for it. And if the system is down or whatever they can't have it registered it was picked up i guess.
Quote:Given it's proximity, Knick's tickets would have tripled the line in a newyork minute
So has anyone in the US yet been granted a 10-year visa through BLS???
How about reporting these guys to the Better Business Bureau?

Our niece just got a 10-year visa. Me, I chickened out and just applied for a 6-month one--sent the application off today. I love the Catch-22 where you have to put the tracking numbers for the shipment each way to generate the BLS order form which has to be on and in the application envelope, which means that you have to buy the postage and then go back to your computer to print out the last piece that you're going to post. Luckily I bought trackable, or as BLS says tractable, mail labels on line from the USPS.

With NFL teams already starting their summer fun with OTA's and upcoming camps, it's time for organizations to fully address any newsworthy situations that went down in the few months since the SuperBowl. For Jim Harbaugh and the San Francisco 49ers, that means downplaying their part in the Peyton Manning sweepstakes while building back up their quarterback, Alex Smith.
"It's an erroneous perception that we were flirting with Peyton Manning. I keep hearing that over and over again," Harbaugh said. "It's silly, and it's untrue. It's phony. Even the perception that we were pursuing him … we were evaluating him.
"I've said all along, Alex Smith has been our quarterback. There's been no scenario, other than Alex choosing to sign with another team, that we would have considered him not as our quarterback."
With these bold, if somewhat erroneous words, Harbaugh begins to publicly mend the bridge that he all but burnt down between the 49ers and Smith. It's as obvious now as it was then that if Manning had chose San Fran, Alex Smith would have been elsewhere. No public statements now are going to change that.
If San Fran were happy with Smith, then they would have politely declined Manning when he reached out to them late in the decision process. Sure, Manning's a future Hall of Fame guy who still could have a few years in the tank, but it is possible to say 'no thanks' to him. The Houston Texans did when approached.
Instead, they signed Smith to a three year deal the day after Manning signed with the Denver Broncos, a timing that can't fall under coincedence.
So now, in the aftermath of showing legit interest in Manning, Harbaugh must rebuild up the confidence of his fragile QB.
"Alex Smith is our quarterback, was our quarterback and we had every intention of bringing him back," Harbaugh said. "There would be no circumstance that we would have let Alex Smith go."
Time heals all wounds but it will be interesting to see if the sweet talking Harbaugh can really smooth the edges of this slight with Smith to the degree of comfort and trust that was evident a year ago. If the answer is no, then I don't see the 49ers making nearly as much noise as they did last season.

Sandy Hook students tour 'new' school day before classes resume
MONROE, Conn. — On a tour on Wednesday of his daughter's new school, Vinny Alvarez took a moment to thank her third-grade teacher, who protected the class from a rampaging gunman by locking her classroom door and keeping the children in a corner.
Alvarez was one of many Sandy Hook Elementary School parents expressing gratitude to the teachers during an open house at their school in the neighboring town of Monroe, where their children are resuming classes Thursday for the first time since the Dec. 14 shooting that left 20 children and six educators dead.
Alvarez said each student received a gift box with a toy inside and he expressed thanks to the teacher, Courtney Martin, who kept her door locked until it was safe to leave the building.
"Everybody there thanked her in their own way," he said.
Newtown Superintendent of Schools Janet Robinson announced that the Sandy Hook staff decided that the students' new school, the former Chalk Hill Middle School in Monroe, would be renamed Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"That's who they are. They're the Sandy Hook family," Robinson said after a news conference at a park in Monroe a few miles from the school. She added that renaming the Chalk Hill school will allow staff and students to keep "their identity and a comfort level."
The school where the shootings occurred remains closed and guarded by police. Newtown officials haven't decided yet on the building's future.
The gunman, Adam Lanza, killed his mother at the home they shared in Newtown before the school shootings, which ended when Lanza fatally shot himself as police arrived. Police haven't released any details about a motive.
Numerous police officers on Wednesday guarded the outside of the Monroe school, which is about 7 miles from the old school, and told reporters to stay away.
"I think right now it has to be the safest school in America," Monroe police Lt. Keith White said.
Teachers attended staff meetings at the new school on Wednesday morning and were visited by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy before the open house, White said.
Robinson said Chalk Hill School has been transformed into a "cheerful" place for the surviving students to resume normal school routines. She said mental health counselors continue to be available for anyone who needs them.
During the open house on Wednesday, Alvarez said his 8-year-old daughter also got to pick out a stuffed animal to take home from the school library.
"I'm not worried about her going back," he said of his daughter Cynthia. "The fear kind of kicks back in a little bit, but we're very excited for her and we got to see many, many kids today. The atmosphere was very cheerful."

Lawmakers say wider highways will aid commerce
Indiana is known as the "Crossroads of America," but because the state does not tax goods stored here, it must maintain those roads to help ensure delivery.
"I feel like we need to analyze whether or not I-65 should be six lanes from Louisville to Chicago and I think we need to analyze whether I-70 should be six lanes from Richmond to Terre Haute," said State Sen. Luke Kenley (R-Noblesville).
Kenley is asking INDOT to conduct a feasibility study to determine how long that would take, how it should be done and, most important to the motorists we spoke to, how to pay for it.
"More lanes, less traffic. That's great to me, because I travel it a lot, but what's the cost?" said Steve Antonetti.
"I would love to have a six-lane highway, but with the economy as it is right now, I don't think it would be wise, because we don't have money to pay the taxes on it to pay for it," said Earline Oliver.
Governor Mitch Daniels is thinking the same thing, only he is thinking about a lane set aside on the interstate specifically for the commercial traffic.
"There ought to be a truck-dedicated lane all the way across this country, right through Indiana. That is conducive to commerce, at the speed of commerce," Daniels said.
In an industry where time is money and in a state where logistics is leading the way, the opinions of those driving the industry would be critical.
Suggested Links
"The truck has its own lane, so the truck goes on one side and the car goes on one side. There is less accidents," said truck driver Singh Varshoeam.
"The strength and condition of our main roads is so important to us as a crossroads state that I want to stay ahead of that curve and plan ahead. I think it creates jobs and bears on a lot of things," Kenley said.
Reality is a long way down the road yet, but the discussion phase begins in January.

Forum:Site keeps being deleted
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Ok, so I created a wiki for this local Jersey City band called Scorched Earth. I myself am in this band, and I thought it would be a fun idea to create an uncyclopedia article about it. However, i took off this warning taht appeared on the page,and I believe that is the reason it was deleted at first. Stupid move on my part. I re-created it, but it was deleted AGAIN. Maybe the admins think this is too much of an inside joke, but this IS a real band, and I don't know why the page keeps being "huffed". Sure, some of the content on there is a little offensive to the members in the band, but everyone is ok, with it, and I don't use real names for the most part. Yes, I am a n00b. FlAME ALL YOU WANT. But i really would like to know why this keeps happening. --Marzo869--
- I've been wanting to fiame a n00b for such a long time! Thanks!-- » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 20:41, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- As a result of some recent events, we have tightened our "vanity" policy. That means that pages about non-notable people or things (i.e. does it have a wikipedia page) get deleted. Previously, pages about local rock bands were excepted from this and allowed, but now we have cracked down, so such pages have a hard time surviving. I'm sorry that we can't host your in-joke page anymore, but there are moral and legal problems that come with having pages about non-notable people. Since we don't know the people talked about, and since we can't really be sure the people being insulted are okay with it, we have trouble policing such pages. Unfortunately, there are enough assholes out there that we've run into problems as a result of failing to police such pages, and now we pretty much disallow them. It is possible that if you talked to our founder, Chron, he might grant an exception for your page, but otherwise the page will have to stay deleted for policy reasons. I hope you understand why we can't host it and hope it doesn't sour you on contributing in other ways. ---Rev. Isra (talk) 22:22, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- If nobody has heard of your band, and your article isn't funny, it will get deleted. Go with something more notable. --User:Nintendorulez 21:31, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
...You can post your articles, however dumb they are, on my page, if my page doesn't break your computer. Mr. Briggs Inc. 23:57, 21 October 2006 (UTC) Eh?

Pilot incapacitation at the end of the approach phase might have caused a Brit Air CRJ100 to crash about a mile-and-a-half short of the runway at Brest Guipavas airport in France on June 22. According to the preliminary report by the Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la sécurité de l'aviation civile (BEA, the French equivalent of the NTSB), the copilot indicated that the pilot was immobile, both hands on the wheel and staring at the instrument panel during the last seconds before touchdown. The pilot was the only fatality among the three crewmembers and 21 passengers.
The CRJ100 was arriving from Nantes, France, on scheduled flight AF5672. During its approach to Runway 26, it diverged left from the localizer and deviated successively above and below the glideslope, the BEA said. The crash occurred 7,000 feet short of the runway threshold and 1,475 feet left of the localizer. The aircraft contacted the ground with the gear down and stopped after hitting several obstacles. A post-crash fire destroyed the aircraft, though 23 occupants escaped in time. According to the BEA, the pilot died before the fire erupted.
According to the flight attendant, after the evacuation the copilot was repeating: "I wanted to make a go-around but he did not want to." Later, the copilot gave similar testimony to BEA investigators. He said that, when the glideslope warning sounded, he saw the pilot motionless. He then activated the TOGA (takeoff go around) switches, while still looking at the pilot, who had no reaction. The copilot pulled the yoke aft, but had the impression it was locked. Simultaneously, he pushed both thrust levers forward. He saw a field in the landing light and tried to land the aircraft as well as he could.
The cockpit voice recorder indicated that, at 23:50:58 local time, the GPWS called "five hundred," then "glideslope" and "sink rate." At 23:51:01, the aircraft began a right turn. At 23:51:04, the autopilot was disconnected. At 23:51:05, the GPWS called "three hundred." Between 23:51:07 and 23:51:14, seven "glideslope" warnings were heard. In the same time, the aircraft's attitude went from -5 to 0 degrees. The last time the pilot spoke was at 23:51:12.
At 23:51:15, the GPWS called "one hundred." At 23:51:16, one crewmember said, "I have nothing ahead; go around." Simultaneously, power was increased significantly. The aircraft's attitude came back to -5 degrees. At 23:51:19, the copilot again said, "Go around." At 23:51:20 the GPWS alerted, "Sink rate" and "Pull up." At 23:51:22 the copilot said something resembling "go around" again. The sound of impact was heard 0.75 seconds later.

Verse 114:
The Story of Theri Kisagotami
While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (114) of this
book, with
reference to Kisagotami.
Kisagotami was the daughter of a rich man from Savatthi; she was known as
because of her slim body. Kisagotami was married to a rich young man and a son
was born to
them. The boy died when he was just a toddler and Kisagotami was stricken with
Carrying the dead body of her son, she went about asking for medicine that would
her son to life from everyone she happened to meet. People began to think that
she had gone
mad. But a wise man seeing her condition thought that he should be of some help
to her. So, he
said to her, "The Buddha is the person you should approach, he has the medicine
you want; go
to him." Thus, she went to the Buddha and asked him to give her the medicine
that would
restore her dead son to life.
The Buddha told her to get some mustard seeds from a house where there had been
no death.
Carrying her dead child in her bosom. Kisagotami went from house to house, with
the request
for some mustard seeds. Everyone was willing to help her, but she could not find
a single
house where death had not occurred. Then, she realized that hers was not the
only family
that had faced death and that there were more people dead than living. As soon
as she
realized this, her attitude towards her dead son changed; she was no longer
attached to the
dead body of her son.
She left the corpse in the jungle and returned to the Buddha and reported that
she could
find no house where death had not occurred. Then the Buddha said, "Gotami, you
thought that
you were the only one who had lost a son. As you have now realized, death comes
to all beings;
before their desires are satiated death takes them away." On hearing this,
Kisagotami fully
realized the impermanence, unsatisfactoriness and insubstantiality of the
clusters of clinging and
attained Sotapatti Fruition.
Soon afterwards, Kisagotami became a Bhikkhuni. One day, as she was lighting the
lamps she
saw the flames flaring up and dying out, and suddenly she clearly perceived the
arising and
the perishing of beings. The Buddha, through supernormal power, saw her from his
and sent forth his radiance and appeared to her in person. Kisagotami was told
to continue
meditating on the impermanent nature of all beings and to strive hard to realize
Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
Verse 114. Better than a hundred years in the life of a person who does not
perceive the
Deathless (Nibbana), is a day in the life of one who perceives the Deathless
At the end of the discourse Theri Kisagotami attained Arahatship.

Family Activities textbooks – for example The Modern Jewish Mom's Guide to Shabbat: Connect and Celebrate--Bring Your Family Together with the Friday Night Meal by [Meredith L. Jacobs], and Teach Yourself Things to Do as a Family (Teach Yourself: Parenting) by [Debbie Musselwhite] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Family Activities is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Family Activities books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Family Activities classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

Hello. I made a mockup game with just classes and no actual real code yet to just see if this would be the way to setup a game using classes. If it is not, can someone specify what I could/should change about it....or add to it. Just really concerned about how the class is setup. Thanks for any comments.
displayRulesIntro() Is a good example - it isn't a characteristic of a baddie, so it shouldn't belong in there.
Thanks. That really helped a lot. Can any changes still be made to the code?....and one more question. Does it matter if a programmer were to declare their objects in the main function or declare them globally? In the function below, I have objects declared globally.
bool isAlive() rather than have the damage return this info, but there you go.
This is the whole program

|Also, I understand constructors but I feel like I might not know how to implement them well yet....or at least efficient enough to make a big game. For the last time, can someone check this code to see if the classes and constructors are solid.
Also I think there might be a better way to get and output values the way I did in the main function. It seems kind of lengthy.

eBay's ( EBAY) decision to ban sellers from using Google's ( GOOG) new online payment system is angering some of its longtime customers. The move, which was first reported Thursday by trade publications, highlights the growing tensions between the largest auction site and the No. 1 search engine. Last week, Google introduced Google Checkout, a service that Wall Street analysts say poses a competitive threat to eBay's lucrative PayPal business. "The feedback I've gotten from eBay users is that sellers don't want eBay to dictate their payment methods,'' says Ina Steiner, editor of the Web site AuctionBytes.com. Sellers on eBay message boards denounced eBay's decision. Typical was the response of a poster named 2kewl4ufool, who says, "Seems like our eBay is a little nervous
about Google Checkout.'' Poster WCDC added, "Bad, bad eBay. eBay wants to squeeze every last penny out of the sellers. I hope this comes back to bite them.'' eBay is evaluating whether Google Checkout complies with its Accepted Payments policy, which is designed to insure that only "appropriate'' payment services are used on its auction. An eBay spokesman says the company has no timetable for completing the review. The policy is designed to protect both buyers and sellers from fraud. "Payment services that are not permitted on eBay may, in fact, be outstanding services for consumers in other contexts,'' the policy says. "eBay's evaluation relates only to whether a particular service is appropriate for the eBay marketplace.'' Sellers and ecommerce experts question why such as review is necessary, given that Google already has a track record for accepting payments from consumers for services including keyword advertising. That background spurred the development of Google Checkout. "Google Checkout is a natural extension of this history,'' says Megan Lamb, a Google spokeswoman, in an email. "The service is designed to make online shopping faster, more convenient and more secure for Google users. We rigorously tested this new service before launch and have used this same service to process Google Video, Google Earth, Google Base and Google Store transactions for months.''

Whether you know someone with a disability or are simply interested in learning more, the following information will help you learn something new about living with a disability, and help overcome misunderstandings and misinformation.
Children develop skills, or "milestones," at their own pace. How is your child or grandchild doing? You only need 10-20 minutes to check with the Ages & Stages Questionnaires® online screening. Your results will help you see if your child's developmental progress is on time and alert you to any concerns that you can talk over with your health care provider.
Today, Easter Seals released its Siblings Study to call attention to the experiences of caregivers as well as the services and supports families need. The Study, conducted by Ipsos and made possible by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual), aimed to better understand the implications of adults who have siblings with developmental disabilities and gauge perceptions of these sibling relationships compared to those of the general public, or adults who have siblings but without disabilities. Read more
According to the National Survey of Children's Health 2007, one in five households with children has a child with a special health care need and could benefit from screening and services, yet less than 20 percent of children under the age of 5 receive a developmental screening. Easter Seals, through the generous support of the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust, is now making it possible for parents and caregivers to easily track their children's' development through age 5 by means of a free online screening tool.

Didier Drogba is considering a reunion with former mentor Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid.
The 34-year-old is wanted by the Spanish champions and talks have taken place between representatives of the two parties over a two-year contract.
The hero of Chelsea's Champions League triumph was brought to Stamford Bridge by Mourinho in 2004 and was on the Portuguese's wish-list last year, only for talks to falter over his transfer valuation.
However, now that Mourinho has total control of transfers at the Bernabeu and Drogba is a free agent, the deal is back on.
The Ivory Coast striker has drawn interest from clubs in Spain, Italy, Germany and Russia, while a lucrative offer from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua was seemingly on the verge of being accepted.
However, in-fighting at the Chinese club, and talk of Argentine coach Sergio Batista replacing caretaker player-boss Nicolas Anelka, are giving Drogba second thoughts.
Mourinho wants to deliver the Champions League for Real and the prospect of another European adventure – even as a bit-part player – may be enough to sway Drogba.
Meanwhile, another of Chelsea's Champions League heroes, Petr Cech, has signed a new four-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
The Czech keeper has already played more games for Chelsea than any overseas player – 369. – Daily Mail

For all those fans of the magazine House Beautiful, it's interesting to know that it was originally published in Chicago in 1896 to showcase the many beautiful homes in the area.
The Gilded Age was a perfect time to create a publication depicting the elegant homes and gardens of Chicago's rich and famous. Eugene Klapp and Henry B. Harvey started the first of the shelter genre publications in 1896 and named it "House Beautiful." They focused on interior design, architecture, home furnishings and gardens. It was purchased by the Hearst Corporation in 1934 and is the oldest still-published magazine of its genre.
TopTenRealEstateDeals.com has more on its first issue and the house it featured on its cover:
The house chosen as the focus of the first issue of "House Beautiful" was a grand 3-story Tudor in what is now known as the sought-after Evanston neighborhood. Evanston is well located where residents are within easy walking distance to shopping, dining and Northwestern University. This home is only a block to Dawes Park and the much enjoyed doggie beach on the Lake Michigan shoreline.
The home recently sold in just one day from realtors' waiting lists even before it had a chance to be placed on the open market. Still with its strong Tudor detailing both inside and out, the house has been lovingly maintained, restored and updated for grand scale modern living and entertaining. The 7 bedroom, 7 bath home sits on a prominent corner with seasonal Lake Michigan views. The home has 5 fireplaces, large chef's kitchen, gym, formal rooms, professional landscaping and lovely covered and open outdoor living areas.
Chicago area home was the lead story in the first issue of House Beautiful magazine in 1896. Sold in one day for asking price of $2.25 million. Seller was asking 7% under their purchase price.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green Reveal Baby Son's Name, And Yes It's Weird
healthy newborn son to their family.So, of course I'm very happy for Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green. They've just welcomed a
However, like many Hollywood stars before them (see: Jason Lee, Gwyneth Paltrow, Busy Philipps) the name they have chosen for their offspring is unusual to say the least. According to TMZ, the couple has named their son Bodhi Ransom Green.
Megan, 27, and Brian, 40, have another child together, son Noah who was born in 2012. Green also has an older son named Kassius with ex Vanessa Marcil. I'm all for unique names but some times it seems like these celeb parents are just havin' a laugh as our British friends would say.

At paradetect.com we intend to present a new way of living by inviting tourist travelers and spiritual seekers to change their methods of traveling, balanced way of living and concepts of having fun under the sun.
We aim to make available other ways and methods that would teach how to gain inner peace, self improvement and preserve nature.
Our spiritual campers will be offered a new way of having fun.
Through meditation, bush walk, and paranormal detection they will be helping us to investigate anomalies in remote places, mountains with breathtaking scenery, deserts with magical night skies and gazing at the twilight, or just simply getting lost in an endless horizon of mystical dreams. Or an endless shore of crystal sand in far away islands untouched lying to be discovered on an uncharted course behind the surfing waves ridden by humping whales and dolphins whispering magical spells to your ears.
You will be taught how to live by the land and adapt to it instead of consuming and dumping more wastes in its soils, you will be taught how to preserve your positive thoughts and attitudes to life and not exhaust everything that comes your way including your mental and spiritual health and state of mind.
You will simply learn how to perceive nature the ancient way away from polluted thoughts and activities.

Sunil Sharpe (Sheworks, Black Sun Records, Earwiggle)
Sunil Sharpe is one of Ireland's most celebrated underground DJs. Honing his turntable skills at the end of the '90s, he played his first club gigs in late 2000 - soon gaining a formidable reputation for his quick fire mixing and fast paced sets that were to be heard regularly across the country and in many parts of Europe (including an early appearance at Berlin's Tresor Club in 2001).
Sunil's first vinyl releases came in 2006, however recently dedicating more time to production, a fresh wave of 12"s in the last year on Komisch (as 'Tricaustic'), Black Sun Records and Blawan & Pariah's 'Works The Long Nights' (aka Sheworks), as well as a number of well received remixes, have signaled an exciting new stage in his ever-evolving career. With techno moving back to a more intense sound again recently, Sunil's productions have never felt more at home.
After a near 8-year spell working at Spindizzy record shop (2002-10), Sunil made the move to All-City where he has established a space for new and secondhand techno/electro/house vinyl under the Earwiggle banner, as well as an in-house label of the same name - that counts anodyne, Steve Stoll, Paul Birken and Freddy Fresh amongst its small group of artists.
Sunil has been part of national station RTE 2FM's 'Late Night Sessions' team since 2006 (after a long run on both local and pirate radio), where each month he features his top selection of new music as well as guest appearances from some of his favourite acts. He is also a DJ Techniques tutor at Bray Institute of Further Education, where he has taught each year since 2005.
Sunil's popularity has extended its way outside of the techno scene too, and he was further acknowledged in 2011 when he was voted 'Best DJ' at the Irish Dance Music Awards. A firm believer in playing the very best records he has rather than only the new, Sunil's DJ sets reflect his favourite styles from the past up to the present, with his trademark techno energy showing no sign of letting up.

Diving on Vancouver Island
When you like to dive, you dive a lot. We like to dive, our instructors and dive masters like to dive, a lot of our divers like to dive. We have weekly dives but we also like to celebrate holidays with a dive.
New Year's Day,Valentine's Day,St Patrick's Day,Easter Sunday,Victoria Day,Canada Day… You get the picture, the list goes on and on.
We've dived in Costume for Halloween, tied Canadian Flags to our gear for Canada Day, dived on Christmas eve and Boxing day, had underwater picnics, dived in rivers, done beach clean ups and even created a dive related poker game that draws more divers than any other dive event in Nanaimo! We go up and down island diving, we go on tropical dive trips. About the only dive we haven't done is a midnight dive on New Year's Eve – maybe one day, somewhere warm and tropical.
Dive, dive dive. While enjoying diving , stay at Long Lake Waterfront B&B

A Burbage woman is taking on a ten-mile charity trek to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) in memory of her father.
Cassi Vaughan, 31, is lacing up her hiking boots for the Chatsworth Walk on September 23 to give something back to the nation's heart charity.
In June last year, her father, Richard Flint, suffered a heart attack and died. Mr Flint, who was the landlord of the White Hart in Burbage, was 59.
Mrs Vaughan said: "It was a complete shock to everyone. I have never seen so many people at a funeral. He was a really popular man and had so much time for everyone. He was amazing. I know everyone says that about their dad but he really was.
"We want something good to come out of this tragedy – by taking on the Chatsworth Walk, we can do something in his honour.
"Our dad spent his whole life helping others and now it's our turn to do the same."
Since her father died Mrs Vaughan has been on leave from her job as a civil servant in Canterbury along with her husband Marc, 30, to help her mum Pauline run the White Hart.
Mrs Vaughan and her husband will join hundreds of other BHF supporters as they take on the ten-mile trek. People taking part can choose from a four, seven or ten-mile route around the stunning stately home and Chatsworth Estate.
BHF event organiser Hannah Carling said: "Cassi and her family have been through such a lot and I am so sorry for the loss of her father. We are thankful they want to support us and I hope their story inspires other people to get involved."

New DVD Releases For Jan. 26: Whip it, This Is It, Bright Star, Little Ashes, The Boys Are Back, Saw VI
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
This Winter Tuesday brings lots of great new DVD releases (a blessing if you're stuck inside!). In addition to the titles below, Robert Pattinson's Little Ashes, The Boys Are Back, horror flick Saw VI, and Surrogates are all out on video.
Drew Barrymore's directorial debut didn't chart highly at the box office, but I enjoyed her girl-power good time a great deal. The story of a meek young girl who finds freedom with a roller derby league, Whip It is way too much fun. Providing hilarious support are Arrested Development alum Alia Shawkat, funny girl Kristen Wiig, and Barrymore herself — rent it for your next girls' night in.
The DVD extras include nine deleted scenes and an alternate opening scene.
Kenny Ortega's documentary about Michael Jackson, This Is It, gives you a chance to experience what would have been the king of pop's last tour. That Jackson died this year just makes the experience of getting to see the tireless work and production put into Jackson's concerts that much more special. I thought it was a striking, intimate tribute, and worth seeing if you're a fan.
The DVD's extras include an hour of unseen footage, a making-of documentary and featurettes about the costumes, the dancer auditions, and Jackson's closest friends revealing memories of him.
See one more new release when you
Jane Campion's quiet romance Bright Star had two of my favorite performances of last year: Abbie Cornish and Paul Schneider. I fell in love with this lush film about the poet John Keats and his young love, Fanny Brawne (played by Cornish). Schneider stars as Keats's surly best friend, fellow poet Charles Armitage Brown.
It's a shame that Bright Star hasn't gotten too much recognition this awards season, but hopefully more people will give the passionate and intellectual movie a chance now that's available on video. The extras on the DVD include deleted scenes, commentary, and a couple of featurettes.

When cognitive strategies instruction is unsuccessful, it's often because teachers use the strategies as "teaching tools" instead of handing them to students as "learning tools," writes Mark Conley in a recent issue of Harvard Educational Review.
"'Strategy instruction' is quickly becoming one of the most common–and perhaps the most commonly misunderstood–components of adolescent literacy research and practice," writes Conley.
If a teacher uses a graphic organizer with a class for a unit on pollution, for example, and works with students as a group to add words to the organizer that represent different facets of pollution, the teacher hopes that repeating this process over and over again will result in students learning how to organize their own thinking. But that is often not the case, Conley writes.
More effective is for the teacher, after describing the tool, to instruct students to have a conversation with a partner and then to add thoughts from their conversations to the organizer. In that way, the teacher transfers responsibility for the new strategy to her students, Conley says.
Instead of treating cognitive strategy instruction as a rehearsal in the hopes that by doing it over and over again it will somehow stick with students, teachers should think of cognitive strategy instruction as way to develop students' critical understanding of subject matter.
Conley says too often what students end up doing is internalizing the steps in a teaching activity rather than developing a reasoning process they can employ on their own.
"Cognitive Strategy Instruction for Adolescents: What We Know about the Promise, What We Don't Know about the Potential," by Mark Conley, Harvard Educational Review Volume 78, Number 1, Spring 2008.

My Peelland is a photobook of memories.
Memories of my highschool in Deurne, the Netherlands.
The Peelland College was in the same building for over 40 years, and in 2005 it moved to brand new location.

The photos not only tell my story, but also the story of thousands of young people who were once a student here.
I'd like to share our memories with you.

Beer available in the 'All Inclusive'/'Ultra All Inclusive' package is usually draught not bottled, 'local' wine is usually house wine served by the glass from a barrel not a bottle and carbonated soft drinks are usually on tap not bottled. Drinks may be served in plastic beakers not glass, particularly around swimming pools. The services, facilities and meals available do vary from hotel to hotel, so make sure you check the details in the text box headed "All Inclusive"/"Ultra All Inclusive" within each hotel description for exact details (for any elements not included within the All Inclusive/Ultra All Inclusive text box, a charge may apply). A la carte restaurants may require prior reservations and can often apply a service charge. Food served can be local or international. An extra charge will be made for imported alcoholic drinks and certain facilities such as games machines or pool tables still require you to insert your own coins. You must also pay for infants' meals locally.
Note: Times when included drinks and snacks are served may sometimes vary from those shown, but are typically between 11am and midnight. A 'cash' bar may operate outside these times. Alcohol licensing laws vary for different countries so guests cannot be served with alcoholic drinks in All Inclusive/Ultra All Inclusive hotels if they are 'under age' for that country. There may also be age or experience restrictions on some watersports. All guests are normally required to wear or carry identification to ensure they receive the All Inclusive/Ultra All Inclusive benefits. This is provided by the hotel and consists of an identity bracelet or ID card.
