Quarkbase helps users gather information about a website. The user can enter a URL and read an overview of the website, see which tags apply to it, learn the names of key people associated with it and view internet traffic details. The traffic details include the site's Alexa rank, complete rank, how many unique visitors it receives per month and the general trend of its traffic. The user can also see if it is highly bookmarked, when it was launched and view similar or competing websites. Quarkbase goes even further by showing the user the most recent Twitter comments that mention the website, where it was discussed in blogs, which countries it is famous in, its PageRank, the language it is presented in, social popularity for Delicious, Digg, Twitter, Reddit and other sites as well as a social tally that covers Wikipedia, Twitter, Delicious, Digg and Yahoo Answers. A development area shows the user which tools were used to create the site, who sold the domain to the owner, where it is hosted (with an embedded Google Map) and who the current ISP is.Show more screenshots »
Quarkbase was founded in September of 2008. The application was intended to provide a great deal of information about websites. The site bills itself as "Who Is on steroids" and as the "IMDB of websites." Today, Quarkbase saves many users a great deal of time by supplying them with a wealth of information on any URL they enter.
There are a number of ways to obtain information on the internet about a website. Each piece of information provided by Quarkbase could be located elsewhere, however the problem is that few resources compile each detail. To find all the information, the user would have to scour numerous resources to get the same detail as they can read on the Quarkbase results page.
Quarkbase presents users with all the information in a neat, list style format. After submitting a URL, the user can scroll down through the page to find headers that include an overview, social, additional details, social popularity and development area. The site also incorporates recognizable icons in the social popularity area so the user can quickly identify where the stats are coming from. A few Google advertisements are found throughout the Quarkbase site, but these do not get in the way of reviewing website statistics.
Quarkbase provides a very helpful service, however it is not one that really needs an account or registration option to fully appreciate. At this time, there is no account registration option. As soon as the user arrives on the Quarkbase homepage, they can access the URL submission tool and begin reviewing website data.
Quarkbase pulls together information that is readily available for free in a number of locations. Charging for this service would seem a bit off putting, especially since the site also works in advertisements which likely pay for its operational expenses. Luckily the creators have kept Quarkbase as appealing and accessible as it possibly can be by giving all users access to all the search results for free.
Quarkbase.com is a tool for anyone who needs to learn about a website. The user can gather details that cover just about everything, from the site's development and hosting data to social networking stats and general information. The service is not unique.

History of St Michael and All Angels Church
There has certainly been a church at Withyham since a very early period.
It is mentioned in 1291 in connection with Edward I sending money to Pope Nicholas IV for a crusade and
Withyham was then valued at 45 marks.
The church was apparently almost completely rebuilt in the 14th century and consisted
of a nave with a north and south aisle, chancel and west tower and at the east end of the north aisle was the chapel of the Sackville family.
On 16th June 1663 the church was struck by lightening coming in at the steeple, melting the bells, and up to the chancel
where it smashed the monuments to the Sackville family to pieces. The family steward wrote to his master saying:
'I was much trubled to see soo fine a fabrick and such stately monuments so suddenlye turned to lime and ashes'
The damage was estimated at Ł1,860, a very large sum, and a Brief was granted by the Privy Council allowing
collections to be made in Sussex and neighbouring counties to enable the parishioners of Withyham to begin to rebuild.
The rebuilding of the church does not seem to have been finished until 1672 and the Sackville Chapel was not completed
for another eight years.
Of the old church only the lower part of the tower, the west wall from the belfry door to the north-west corner and the
north and south east walls remained to be incorporated into the new building. It was also around this time that the Rectory was built.
Two years later the bells were recast and a sixth bell (treble) was added in 1715. These bells remained until 1908 when they were
recast and a further two added to give the magnificent 8-bell peal we enjoy today.
During the 19th century much work was carried out on the church including the removal of the western gallery,
a south aisle was built, the low ceiling removed and the chancel arch carried up in solid masonry. Carolean pews,
pulpit and pannelling were removed and the ornate 17th century south porch was replaced. Oak seats to south and
central aisles were installed and a screen between tower and nave erected.
The Paintings
In 1849 Edward John Ottley presented a set of four 14th century Italian paintings depicting the Passion of Christ to St
Michael and All Angels' Church, Withyham, East Sussex. They had been part of the collection of William Young Ottley, R.A,
(1771-1836), collector, artist and art scholar. Their importance and value were not recognised until cleaning of the
paintings was carried out at the Courtauld Institute 1990-1995. It was then discovered that they were too valuable to be
returned to the church where inadequate security and unsuitable environmental conditions were a threat to their safety and
conservation. They were transferred on loan to Leeds Castle (Maidstone) in 1997 and subsequently sold at auction by Sotheby's, London, on 5th December 2012 for Ł950,000.
The proceeds from the sale
have been invested to produce a source of income to be used solely for the repair and maintenance of St Michael's church and
churchyard, thereby freeing up funds for the mission of the church and the pastoral needs of the parish. Four excellent full-size copies were
made and now hang in the church.

"I had a post operative review at Winston Churchill..."
About: St Mary's Hospital (London) St Mary's Hospital (London) London W2 1NY
Posted by Anon
I had a post operative review at Winston Churchill wing fibroid clinic today. Saw a female Professor who runs the clinic and found her bedside manner to be rude and she treated me with a level of arrogance that I had never experienced before. When I walked into the office a woman was sitting in the far corner. The Prof made no attempt to tell me who she was and why she was sitting in on what was a private medical appointment. I was too stunned at the way I was being spoken to and treated that I didn't ask who this person was. As far as I am aware she should have got my permission first or at least introduced me to this person. Do I matter so little that I am treated with no respect at all? This prof needs to review the manner in which she treats her patients. Owing to the way she spoke to me I felt belittled and could not get out of there soon enough.

A city that was home to one of the greatest 'Ironman' streaks in American sport will see another endurance mark fall on Sunday when Brazilian Tony Kanaan makes his record 212th IndyCar start at the Grand Prix of Baltimore.
When Kanaan slides into his KV Racing Technology Dallara Cheverolet on Sunday he will speed past Camden Yards, the Major League Baseball ballpark where Baltimore Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's long-standing record by playing his 2,131st consecutive game 18 years ago.
Kanaan's milestone will not be viewed with the same awe as Ripken's - which fans voted the most memorable moment in Major League Baseball - but in many ways it is a no less remarkable an achievement coming in the high-risk world of motor sport where disaster lurks at every turn.
Ripken would go onto play in 2,632 games before voluntarily ending his streak in 1998, establishing himself as an American sporting icon for his work ethic, showing up at the ballpark every day for 17 years playing through pain and injuries.
But Kanaan's dedication to his craft and competitive spirit also cannot be questioned and the Indianapolis 500 winner has the scars, metal plates and screws holding his body together to prove it.
"I don't know if I'm a tough guy or not, I've raced through some of the injuries that I've had in the past," Kanaan, 38, told reporters in a pre-race press conference on Friday. "I have some tough competition behind me, young guys that are going to be here forever, so hopefully we'll keep stretching that so it will take a long time to beat.
"I'm getting old, but I'm still going; that's what matters. I have the passion. It's always nice to break a record, regardless of what it is."
Kanaan's streak began in 2001 at the Portland Grand Prix after he had been forced out of the previous race in Detroit with a concussion. He would race in the final 14 events in 2001 and has been on the starting grid for every race over the next 12 seasons despite horrific crashes and agonizing injuries.
In 2003, Kanaan broke his arm at a race in Japan but was back in the car for the Indianapolis 500 weeks later.
During the Indy 500 in 2009 Kanaan destroyed his car after slamming into a wall but again was back on the grid for the next race in Milwaukee.
He was burned in a pit lane fire in Edmonton and this year sustained torn ligaments in his right thumb in a crash at Long Beach but it was still not enough to stop the tough-as-nails Brazilian from claiming an elusive Indy 500 win in May.
"I have pain all the time but I just live with it," said Kanaan, who has also competed in the Hawaii Ironman triathlon. "The one that I shouldn't have raced actually, I had a concussion in Detroit, which I stayed out.
"That concussion, back in the day, the technology and all the resources we have were not as accurate. I still think I wasn't right the week after that I went to Portland."
When Kanaan breaks the record on Sunday it will be with IndyCar's current Ironman Jimmy Vasser, who owns the team the charismatic Brazilian drives for, looking on from the pit wall.
Vasser's streak started in 1993 and ran 14 years through to the 2006 season-opening race in Long Beach.
"It's a great honor to have Tony do it," Vasser said. "He's the right guy.
"These are consecutive starts. It just means primarily you're able to keep a job for that many years, which is hard to do. That's a tough feat in itself."

A PIL seeking a direction to the Election Commission of India to scrap 'Lotus' symbol allotted to BJP was filed in the Bombay High Court yesterday, contending that the national flower cannot be used as a party icon.
The petition filed by activist Hemant Patil is likely to be heard next week. No party or person had ever objected to the symbol assigned to the party 25 years ago, though it is violative of Emblems and Names Act, said the petition.

Question: When Holloman applied for a job at Circuit City she
When Holloman applied for a job at Circuit City, she signed a "Dispute Resolution Agreement" (DRA) that stated: "This agreement requires you and Circuit City to arbitrate certain legal disputes related to your application for employment or employment with Circuit City." The job application then added, "Circuit City will consider your application only if this agreement is signed." Finally, the DRA stated, "I understand that my employment, compensation and terms and conditions of employment can be altered or terminated, with or without cause, and with or with- out notice, at any time, at the option of either Circuit City or myself." Holloman was hired, but she later quit and sued Circuit City, claiming she had been discriminated against and constructively discharged. Holloman argued that the arbitration agreement was illusory and not supported by consideration because of Circuit City's unilateral ability to terminate or modify the agreement. How should the court rule? Explain your reasoning.

Things are looking up for our community and for The Augusta Chronicle in 2010, our 225th year as a newspaper.
The outlook for local employment remains solid. Our housing market is among the best performing nationally. Indeed, we need to be concerned about state and local tax revenues sliding and affecting our schools, but there is confidence our resilient local economy will counter some of this.
The Chronicle newsroom is positioning itself to move forward with a strong foot.
We expect to provide a steadier and fuller diet of local news in print and online.
We will put more energy into being your watchdog and champion on local issues.
We will be a more powerful multimedia storytelling force in print and online.
To do this, we are reorganizing our news operation, hiring a few more journalists than last year and moving augustachronicle.com onto a new software platform and into more digital devices. We plan on being more interactive through Twitter and Facebook.
We'll be beefing up coverage of the economy, jobs and education. You'll see more "Things To Do" coverage starting with a revamp of our Applause section. We'll offer more consumer information and help you save money through our Pinch columnist, LaTina Emerson.
We'll have individuals assigned to review public records and watch how tax dollars are spent. This will be led by a three-person team headed by Public Service Editor Mike Wynn. Investigative reporters Johnny Edwards and Sandy Hodson will be focused on answering burning questions in emerging headlines. They'll delve deeper into issues of public interest. Equity in government salaries might be something they'd review.
Send your ideas and news tips for investigations to email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com. They'll follow up.
Expect some new bylines on their beats. It'll take a few weeks for new people to be hired and for new assignments to be made.
These staff additions simply will boost local coverage.
In the coming month, augustachronicle.com will change.
A new design will launch along with a change to the software engine behind the site. (For you local techies, it's Drupal-based.)
This change will allow the entire newsroom to be more involved in production and management of the site content, allowing more parts to come alive during the day.
We will have people working together on social media, extending our ability to interact and share the news on mobile devices and more.
Upcoming, Web-enabled phones will automatically receive news designed for phones when accessing augustachronicle.com.
Bill Kirby has been named online news director to help drive these changes. This new title means he'll be guiding what used to be known as the Metro Desk in new ways for an urgent and lively online report for all sections of the site. Our local news director is James Folker. He'll team with Mr. Kirby to plan how online and print efforts fold into your doorstep edition. Some of you might remember Mr. Folker in similar roles in the past. He and Mr. Kirby will co-lead the newsgathering team.
Don't worry. Mr. Kirby will still be writing his column. Don't forget to send postcards for his annual feature this summer.
Speaking of "Mr."... I've been thinking about jettisoning the courtesy titles still present in Chronicle news copy. We don't use them in the opinion pages or Sports. It would save us editing time and make some things more uniform. Should we keep them to encourage decorum and as a nod to Southern civility? If we did drop them, we certainly would keep them in obituaries.

This 1984 commercial for Pepsi features a bunch of kids dancing to The Jacksons' jingle song "The Pepsi Generation", pretty much a reworked version of Michael Jackson's 1983 hit song "Billie Jean". One kid, in particular, is played by Carlton Banks himself, Alfonso Ribeiro from "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air". Dressed like Michael, he entertains his pals by dancing like Michael, until he actually moonwalks accidentally into none other than Michael Jackson himself, as well as Michael's brothers' and bandmates, The Jacksons, who then dances along with the kids and Michael!

how the brain wires itself up during development, how the end result can vary in different people and what happens when it goes wrong
Friday, August 20, 2010
When to blame your parents, and for what
Studies linking some aspect of parental behaviour with some trait in their offspring are depressingly common in the sociological literature. Though these studies typically only report a correlation between parental behaviour and whatever the trait is in the offspring, the implication, and often the explicit conclusion, is that one causes the other. These kinds of stories get huge play in the popular press (and in the blogosphere), where the conclusion of a causative relationship is rarely challenged. For example, the finding that children who grow up with more books in the house are more successful academically is taken as evidence that simply having books around makes kids smarter.
This kind of thinking illustrates a common and fundamental flaw in interpreting sociological or epidemiological findings – correlation does not imply causation. Red hair and freckles are highly correlated but one does not cause the other. Both are caused by something else (a mutation in a gene controlling pigmentation). It seems a simple enough distinction but it is astonishing how pervasive this mistake is, even among academics supposedly trained in statistical methodology.
In the case of books, the conclusion that having them around is the causative factor on academic success is simply not warranted by the findings. The data from this kind of study design do not pertain to that question. The books could simply be an indicator of the real cause (like freckles). It seems quite possible that the underlying link is between the IQ of the parents (or some other cognitive trait predicting both academic success and bookishness – curiosity, open-mindedness, interest in more abstract topics) and that of their children. (It is well established that such traits are quite heritable).
I am not claiming that that actually is the explanation – just that it is a highly plausible one that must be considered. In fact, the study design does not permit this conclusion to be drawn either, and that illustrates one of the major problems in dissecting the possible effects of nature and nurture. It is hugely difficult to separate confounding genetic effects on behaviour of both parents and offspring from the effects of the behaviours themselves. Adoption studies – especially of identical twins reared apart – do provide one way to dissociate genetic effects from those of the family environment. These have consistently found large effects of shared genes and very little effect of family environment on a wide range of behavioural traits.
A far more tricky task is to dissociate the effects of parental behaviour prior to birth on the future behaviour of their offspring – adoption studies obviously cannot accomplish that. However, researchers in Cardiff, led by Anita Thapar, have come up with a clever and powerful new study design which does the trick. They have made use of the growing frequency of in vitro fertilisation to examine the effects of smoking during pregnancy. It is well known that smoking during pregnancy is associated with low birth weight and a number of other health issues. It is also associated with higher rates of antisocial behaviour in the offspring. Do these correlations really reflect the effects of smoking itself or could smoking be an indicator of a distinct underlying cause?
The IVF study design, which looked at records of 779 children, allowed these factors to be dissociated by splitting the mothers into two groups – those who were biologically related to their offspring and those who had used donor eggs and thus were unrelated to their offspring. These two groups were then examined for a correlation between the smoking behaviour of the mother during pregnancy and the birth weight and a measure of antisocial behaviour of their offspring. The findings were remarkably clear – smoking was associated with lower birth weight regardless of genetic relatedness. This effect is congruent with results from experimental animal studies on the effects of nicotine, cigarette smoke or carbon monoxide on birth weight and there are a variety of biological mechanisms postulated to explain the effect. So, all the evidence is consistent with this being a genuine effect of prenatal smoking per se.
But a very different picture was observed with respect to antisocial behaviour. High rates of antisocial behaviour were observed only in those mothers who smoked during pregnancy and who were related to their offspring. So, prenatal smoking itself does not seem to influence antisocial behaviour – it is more likely an indicator of some underlying genetic effect on behaviour of both the mother and the offspring. (See here for more on this).
So, smoking while pregnant is bad, mkay, for lots of reasons, but it will not make your child antisocial. And I would never argue against having books around, but articles proclaiming "Want smart kids? Here's what to do" are uncritically promulgating an unfounded conclusion (also known as "talking shite").

That's really interesting, thanks. I hadn't thought of IVF as providing such research opportunities! Now that adoption is so much less common than it was 30 years ago, it's getting harder to do adoption studies, but IVF studies may be even better...ReplyDelete
"Adoption studies – especially of identical twins reared apart – do provide one way to dissociate genetic effects from those of the family environment. These have consistently found large effects of shared genes and very little effect of family environment on a wide range of behavioural traits."ReplyDelete
Careful here. This article: http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/philo/faculty/block/papers/Heritability.html
explains nicely why we should be extremely wary of heritability figures based on twin studies. As the author explains, traits like "wearing earrings" have very high heritability but this does not mean that this behaviour is a genetic effect.
The article you cite makes a very valid criticism of the inference that because a trait is heritable within one population, and heritable in another population, that the difference in mean of a trait between those two populations must also be explained by genetic differences. That argument does not hold - it's completely spurious in fact, as the article nicely illustrates.ReplyDelete
The bit about earrings is also completely spurious though. Well-designed and appropriately interpreted twin studies, including adoption studies, are very well suited to distinguish the contributions of genetic and environmental variance to phenotypic variance (within the population studied, at that particular time). (Controlling for sex effects is an obvious and commonly employed method to get around that particular possible confounding factor).

Did Whoopi Predict Congresswoman's Shooting?
Sarah Palin's now infamous tweet, "Don't retreat, instead reload" won't soon be forgotten now that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head by 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner. In March 2010 Whoopi Goldberg spoke on the vitriol coming from talking heads like Palin and warned that if something happens, it would be on their hands...

She has a life and she's young and she still can do so much with her life rather than be someone's wife and nothing else.

Finding the Perfect Winter Dessert Treat Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
Finding the Perfect Winter Dessert Treat Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
We recently had our first snow of the season in Ohio. I much prefer the warm weather months, but since harsh, brittle winters are inevitable in Ohio, I've learned to make the best of it. I often have guests over to help make the time spent at home a little more fun. Since I tend to have a lot of people over, I am always looking for flavorsome treats to have in dishes throughout my home for people to snack on. My favorite winter snack to have ready while entertaining is peppermint dessert treats. I am always on the hunt for new variations on this classic candy that my guests will love.
Anything made with peppermints around this time makes me incredibly happy - peppermint sticks, peppermint brownies, peppermint martinis…the list goes on and on.
Now that we are entering into the start of the chilliest months here in Ohio, my primary focus was to get my hands on the mintiest treat I could find from Hickory Farms.
I had some amazing minty options, but my sights were set from the beginning. Hickory Farms Peppermint Snow cookies were my choice. I can't think of a better treat than combining crunchy chocolate cookie with crushed peppermints.
I was first drawn to the appearance of these amazing peppermint Christmas cookies. These tasty indulgences are concealed within white and dark chocolate. As if that isn't enough, they are then sprinkled with crushed peppermints. the crushed peppermints not only add a crunchy, minty finish, but they make the presentation of these chocolate peppermint cookies so impressive that they make for an incredible after dinner dessert treat at a dinner party or family gathering.
The Peppermint Snow Mint Cookies were put to the test when I hosted a small holiday gathering. I knew my guests thought they were as enchanting as I did when I realized an hour into the party that there were none left for me!
There were two lessons I learned that night. The first was that for every winter gathering from this point on, Peppermint Snow Mints have to be a dessert treat for guests to nosh on. The second lesson is that I always need to buy an extra bag for myself.Read More »

We also love the idea of pumpkin plate stands, which would be perfect for displaying a variety of gourmet sausage and cheese from one of our meat and cheese gift baskets. Use pumpkins of different colors and heights to achieve a visually interesting mix. You could even place a small bowl in a tiny, hollowed-out pumpkin to hold gourmet nuts.
Add height to your Halloween tablescape with a multi-tiered stand filled with gourmet chocolate, classic candies and some beautiful autumn fruit. Our fruit baskets are a quick and attractive party solution, with succulent apples and pears for a healthy treat.
Rustic Elegance
If you're going for more rustic Halloween décor, consider using an orchard basket as the centerpiece for your table. This rustic autumn centerpiece is a great example, using a variety of fall vegetables, seed pods, berries and leaves to create a free-flowing arrangement.
For a more minimalist look, create this Halloween centerpiece by filling a basket with a bed of silk leaves, then top with white mini pumpkins.
After enjoying one of our gourmet gift baskets, don't forget to put the basket itself to good use! Many of our food gifts come in keepsake Peterboro baskets, beautifully hand-crafted in New Hampshire.
How do you add a festive feeling to your Halloween party food displays? What do you do with your holiday gourmet gift baskets? Please share your ideas with us.Read More »

Gold and silver streamers and shimmering confetti are always a popular choice for New Year's décor. Hang stylish streamers from the ceiling above your drink table and sprinkle some confetti around for an extra festive touch. Then, complete the theme by serving a sparkling champagne punch.

This pretty centerpiece can be achieved with lemons or even Fuji apples, Crown Comice pears or Mandarin oranges from one of our gourmet fruit gift baskets. It's a great way to infuse a pop of color into your party tablescape.

Adding height is another great way to achieve a dynamic designer tablescape. Multi-tiered stands, such as this one, are great for a buffet-style New Year's party. Fill the stands with gourmet chocolate, fruit from Hickory Farms fruit gift baskets and other treats, like holiday cookies or artisan fudge.

Topps' New Color Scheme
What do these 6 cards have in common?
In 1966, Topps created a new color scheme to identify the cards for each team. One AL and one NL team used each of ten colors, which were found on the card's nameplate and the diagonal banner. The same color scheme was used in the 1968 set and (with the addition of two colors for the four expansion teams) the 1969 set. The circles on the '68 and '69 cards were colored according to the player's team.
In the 1967 set, Topps strayed from that scheme. Although they still had an AL and NL team assigned to each color, the color assignments were shuffled to other teams, except for both "red teams" (Yankees and Dodgers), the Giants, and the Cubs. The team name at the bottom of the card was colored accordingly.
Why were the colors changed in 1967, only to revert back for the 1968 set? Not that I minded; my favorite color at the time was yellow, and my favorite team was the Phillies, so it was all good.
So, what do the cards above have in common? They are the only cards from 1966 to 1969 that did not follow the team color scheme.

RIP - Dave May
Former Orioles' and Brewers' outfielder Dave May passed away on October 20, 2012 at age 68. He had been battling cancer and diabetes.
May broke in with the Orioles in July 1967. After 3 seasons backing up Frank Robinson, Paul Blair, and Don Buford, Dave was traded to the Brewers in June 1970.
On a new team having little expectations, May finally got significant playing time as the team's regular center fielder. After the 1974 season he was traded to the Atlanta Braves for home run king Hank Aaron. Following short stints with Texas and Pittsburgh, he played in the Inter-American League in 1979, before retiring.
His son Derrick May played for the Cubs and other teams in the 1990s.

RIP - Roberto Rodriguez
Roberto Rodriguez passed away in his native Venezuela on September 23, 2012 at age 70.
Rodriguez pitched in the minors from 1964-74 for the Athletics, and later, the Cubs. He appeared in 15 games for the Kansas City Athletics in 1967, and spent most of the 1970 season in the majors with the A's, Padres, and Cubs.
He also played baseball in Venezuela from 1961-79, and later coached in his country.

Mickey Mantle Day - 1969
I found this button a few weeks ago at a nearby antique shop. It's a 4-inch pin commemorating Mickey Mantle Day on June 8, 1969 (just about 2 years after Whitey Ford retired). Mantle had retired during spring training that year, after 18 seasons in Yankees' pinstripes.
I've never been a Yankees fan, but (like just about every kid from my generation, I would guess,) I've always been a Mickey Mantle fan.
A few days later, I found out it was a re-issue made in the 1980s, but that's ok.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/9/2012 (1793 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
GRADE 10 Dakota Collegiate student Austin Patterson's laptop tells him if he's figured out correctly how to rank the numbers produced by five square or cube roots, both positive and negative, from least to most.
If he hasn't, the machine shows him what he did wrong, then gives him a tip and lets him try again until he gets the answer right. "It's better than handing in an assignment and getting the answer wrong," but not knowing that until the next day, Austin said.
Dakota Collegiate opened its doors to the media Wednesday to see the school's compulsory laptops for grades 9 and 10 in action.
Louis Riel School Division superintendent Terry Borys said the program will extend to Grade 11 at Dakota in 2013, and then to Grade 12 in 2014.
Trustees are still considering expanding the program to other schools.
No eraser, no cramped writing hand in language arts when you're on a laptop, said student Janessa Turner: "If you have a lot of ideas, you can type them out" and then edit them. "It's a lot easier to access the work that the teacher wants you to do."
"It's a lot faster. It's funner to do homework than with pen and paper," said social studies student Thomas Busch.
There are misconceptions out there, principal Jill Mathez said.
Indeed, every student seen Wednesday had a pen or pencil and paper and was using them, sometimes concurrently with the laptop.
Dakota staff emphasized repeatedly the laptop is a tool -- the teaching and learning through technology are what everyone should be scrutinizing.
"It's really not about the hardware, it's about the headware," said math teacher Joel Shimoji, who emphasized Dakota is teaching kids for the 21st century with the tools they understand.
Vice-principal Allie Hassin said Dakota prepared for two years before starting the project in Grade 9 a year ago. The school got wired, teachers had training, financial aid was made available for those who couldn't afford devices and staff fanned out to talk to graduating Grade 8 classes headed for Dakota.
"We had to look at the pedagogy, at the way people were teaching kids in the 21st century," he said. "We really feel we're enhancing the way students learn."
Shimoji said math students each receive a different question when working on a laptop, use the same process, and then work with the technology. "We use it as a homework site," with the software providing tutorial support, he said.
Using the laptop simplifies the course, intended to get students ready for pre-calculus, he explained: "To put in the cube root of negative 45 is just awful" the old way, he laughed.
Language arts teacher Roy Norris showed the students clips of the original True Grit film online while also posing questions they were to answer about a specific chapter in the Charles Portis novel. "This is far more immediate. You can also get this website at home," Norris said.
Grade 11 student Shreyas Devalapurkar said while he's not part of the new program, Dakota gave him the option of doing chemistry, biology, and physics homework online. "We use multiple programs online," he said. The system gives him a tutorial and sample questions, finally posing a question on which he's marked.
"I find you can be more creative," said Grade 10 student Kirsten McWhirter. "You can put down pictures, change the fonts, it's right at your fingertips. I don't see much difference in the actual ideas -- that comes from your brain."
And, Kirsten pointed out, handwriting legibility is not an issue.
Mathez said there have been no concerns about some students potentially not having Internet access outside school. "Our library is open until quite late in the evening," she said. "There are (public) libraries, there are quite often resource centres in the community."

Javier De Frutos, choreographer - at Matterhorn
The Matterhorn is, I don't know why, achingly cool. I wish I could wrap it up and put it in London. But it wouldn't be the same. There's something interesting about the design and the ease of the design, especially the latest incarnation. Matterhorn has been there since 1961, I believe. There's something about it being refurbished but at the same time still being completely laid back.
In London if people say they'll have a quick drink, they mean it. At a place like Matterhorn there's no pressure to move anywhere. And the fact it's got that lovely courtyard which the rain never seems to touch - it's an oasis in the middle of Cuba Mall.
I live in London but I grew up in the Caribbean. My father's Spanish but I've never really lived in Spain. I've been coming here since the end of 2002. I came first to create Milagros for the Royal New Zealand Ballet for the 50th celebration of the company and now I'm creating a piece for the 60th. I've been here for the company a good 10 times. I'm not saying I know the whole of New Zealand and am familiar with it, but Wellington I know inside out. And the Matterhorn.
Yes, there is good food to be had in London. London has changed radically since the mid-1980s, the Thatcher era. Then it was a very different country, disconnected from the rest of Europe. The influence of good European food hadn't arrived. When the UK became a more stable and established part of the European community, two hours from Paris or Brussels, those influences began taking over, very healthily, especially good food and drink.
In the 1980s it was incredibly hard to find a good cup of coffee in London. The coffee culture here is so strong. But in London a place called Bar Italia in Soho was about the only place. To get things like bagels and satay beef you had to go to the then slightly dangerous Brick Lane. Now with the arrival of very good chefs and European cuisine, and fusion cuisine from Asia there's been a reinvention of British food. You guys have gone very well throughout the years knowing it's best to use food that's locally produced. That philosophy has arrived in London so it's now taken for granted some of the best restaurants in the world are in London, if you can afford them. Now you can get a very good coffee, though there's Starbucks and all that stuff.
The balance is right at the Matterhorn, I think. It's incredibly relaxed but I know there is a mind behind the place for the music, the bar and the food to co-exist so organically. They have really great bar food, like bean dip and salt cod croquettes. They have great fish. All over New Zealand the produce is just so fresh. When you eat fish it does taste as if it is the catch of the day. I'm a fish aficionado.
There are myths around dancers and food, including that they don't eat well. I know how to watch what I eat. I've been on a constant diet since I was 40. I confront it in the mirror. The idea of looking good at 50 is not good enough. I want to look good, period, not just for 50. I stopped dancing actively at 39. Before that I never looked at what I ate. Performers burn a lot of calories.
I see that dancers have a healthy diet. It would be a crime not to eat well. The physical work is extraordinary and you have to eat well. The machine doesn't function if you don't eat well. What they give me in the studio [the dancers] is a product of good living. Dancing is not a sport but you have the body of an athlete and the mind of an artist. You have to have a lovely body that functions well and a bit of a bohemian brain that needs a level of connection and integration beyond what you need for competitive sport.
I arrived in New Zealand on January 6 and I'm going back on February 28 so I'm counting down the other way. I'm going back to do two West End plays back-to-back and then a new musical in the West End I've been sworn to secrecy about. AS TOLD TO DIANA DEKKER.
Javier De Frutos' ballet, Anatomy of a Passing Cloud, is part of the Royal New Zealand Ballet's Made to Move at the St James Theatre from February 27 to March 2.

This dish is guaranteed to clean your plate. Words from a friend who tried this dish the day I made it. Everyone came back for seconds. My husband Brian pretty much said he wouldn't mind for this dish to be on the menu often. I originally didn't know how the ricotta cheese that I used would taste since the recipe had originally called for cottage cheese which is something my husband and I don't eat. I had written the recipe down from a website but forgot to add the name and I can't remember what it was. I'd like to figure it out but until then my combination came out great and taste very good. Simple recipe and easy to make. If you like lasagna you will like this one just a bit of a different taste to it and a bit faster to make.
What Ya'll Need:
2 lb. Hamburger Meat
1 16 oz. bag of Extra Wide Egg Noodles
1 15 oz. of Ricotta Cheese
1 16 oz. of Sour Cream
1 8 oz. can of Hunts Tomato Sauce Basil, Garlic & Oregano
1 15 oz. can of Hunts Tomato Sauce original flavor
2 Cups of Shredded Sharp cheese*
What you Do:
Cook and drain hamburger meat. Then add the sauce's and let simmer. Cook noodles as directed on package. Why noodles cook mix the sour cream and ricotta cheese in a bowl. Once noodles are done drain add to the cheese mixture and combine well. Take a 13x9 pan put some of the sauce on bottom layer noodles, the meat sauce and repeat. Top with shredded cheese. Bake in pre-heated oven at 375 for 25-30 mins. Remove let set 5 mins and serve up and enjoy.
**Cooking Tip: I think adding either mozzarella or Parmesan cheese would be a good taste for this dish.

The French Government announced today that it would open secret archives relating to the killing of dozens of Algerians in Paris in 1961 after Maurice Papon, a senior functionary under both the wartime Vichy government and the postwar Republic, denied that the police he then commanded were responsible.
Mr. Papon is on trial in Bordeaux, accused of organizing the deportation of 1,690 Jews, including 223 children, from the city between 1942 and 1944. The slaying of Algerians during a night of savage repression in Paris a decade and a half later, on Oct. 17, 1961, has nothing to do with these charges; still, the incident has been repeatedly mentioned during the trial of the 87-year-old Mr. Papon because of the light it may shed on his character.
And so it has become the theme of a kind of trial within the trial because Mr. Papon was then the police chief in the French capital.
Through this extraordinary coincidence the two most painful events in recent French history -- the collaborationist Vichy Government and the Algerian war -- have been woven together in a single thread.
At the same time, France is being asked to lift the veils that have shrouded memory of the deportation of Jews under Vichy and the death of more than one million people in the eight-year war that led to Algeria's independence in 1962.Continue reading the main story
This process has plunged the country into a period of collective retrospection, and it has been greeted with relief from a great many people but strong resistance from others. Testifying at Mr. Papon's trial today, for example, former Prime Minister Pierre Messmer, a Gaullist, protested vehemently at President Jacques Chirac's identification of the French state with the crimes of Vichy.
''An illegitimate government does not represent France,'' he said, speaking of the Vichy regime set up after the defeat of France in 1940. ''It cannot engage France. It engages only its own responsibility and those of the functionaries and soldiers who have decided to obey it.''
This view -- officially upheld for a half-century after the war, until Mr. Chirac broke with it in 1995 -- has now been officially rejected and France seems committed to throwing light even on the painful aspects of its past.
The Government's decision to open state archives on the slaying of Algerians was announced today by Catherine Trautmann, the Minister of Culture. She said it reflected ''the desire of the Government to clarify the tragic repression of that day.'' Under French law, official archives are normally sealed for 60 years.
The number of people killed during the repression of a demonstration called by the Algerian National Liberation Front, then in the seventh year of a war to overthrow French rule, remains a matter of dispute.
The violence, according to most accounts, took place in several incidents, both on the streets of Paris and after demonstrators had been arrested. Some casualties occurred when the demonstrators were fired upon. Other victims were not heard of again after being arrested. The official total is 3 dead and 64 wounded, but Mr. Papon has spoken during the trial of 15 to 20 dead, and most historians put the total at about 200. For weeks after the demonstration, bodies were fished from the Seine and Paris canals.
To his accusers, Mr. Papon was a bureaucrat with no conscience and a streak of cruelty, traits shown both as Vichy's secretary-general of the Gironde department surrounding Bordeaux and later as the Fifth Republic's Paris police chief.
To his defenders, though, Mr. Papon was always merely a dedicated public servant, a man struggling with circumstances unimaginable to those now ready to judge him.
Mr. Papon said this week that the killing in Paris was the result of factional disputes within the National Liberation Front and denied that the police were responsible for any of the deaths. But in an interview published today in the weekly L'Express, Rene Letard, a participant in the repression, said Mr. Papon had assured the police he would cover any abuses.
''We went to the upper floors of buildings and we fired on anything that moved,'' Mr. Letard was quoted as saying. ''It was horrible, but Papon had said he would cover us.''
