(Pocket-lint) - Character Options, the company behind many licensed toys including the Doctor Who and Wembley Stadium Character Building brick sets, Angry Birds catapult and Android plush, is to bring WowWee's AppGear to the UK, a new range of augmented reality games for Android, iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
The first wave will be original properties, but once established, the firm plans to release a series of AppGear titles using its Doctor Who license. That means you will eventually be able to battle Daleks in the park or the Weeping Angels in the confines of your own bedroom.
These will be playable after the user buys the Doctor Who blaster, which works much like the AppBlaster from AppToyz we featured last year. An iPhone, iPod touch or Android device slots into the top of the plastic accessory and the game uses the real world (as seen through the device's camera) as a backdrop to the action.
AppGear isn't launching with this specific range, however. The first few titles will come in different guises, each offering an AR games experience, but with different included toys and triggers.
The first game, for example, is Foam Fighters, which comes with foam aeroplanes which stick to the back of an iDevice or Android handset. The player can then see it on the screen while they wend and shoot their way through obstacles and waves of enemies.
Alien Jailbreak includes an AR trigger-spattered block and alien figures. Zombie Burbz comes with Zombie figures that can interact with the screen of an iPad or Android tablet. Elite CommandAR uses a blaster like gun in a similar way to the prospective Doctor Who apps. We're not entirely sure what Mysterious Raygun will offer (apart from mystery, clearly). And Akodomon is a virtual pet simulation game, coming with, what it seems, plastic pompoms.
The range is expected to start (with Foam Fighters) in spring this year, with further launches throughout. Character Options (in association with Paper Jam manufacturer WowWee) is expecting big things with AppGear: "We're expecting big things," a spokesperson told Pocket-lint at Toy Fair 2012 in London.

Take one '02 LS1-powered Camaro and one '69 Camaro complete outer sheetmetal kit from Goodmark Industries, assemble them carefully together, and what do you have? A hybrid supercar with total fourth-gen performance underneath and '69 Camaro looks up top. This cool idea started when the folks at Retro Rides in Spanish Fork, Utah, were bench racing about how much amazing technology the fourth-gen F-body has. The incredible handling, precise steering, superior antilock brake system, quick acceleration, and interior comfort all surpass that of older Camaros. But admittedly, the classic style of a first-gen Camaro was missing from the later-model cars.
That's when Retro Rides co-owner Dennis Palombo mentioned it would be possible with today's availability of Goodmark's body parts to assemble an entirely new '69 Camaro body above selected fourth-gen chassis and power-train parts. This would blend the two cars' strong points in perfect concert, resulting in a unique car that looks like an early Camaro, but drives like--and has all the luxuries of--a brand-new modern car.
Right away, Dennis' wife told him he should just do it. So with the help of new business partner Bill Jeffries and their crew at Retro Rides, the guys went to work building the first prototype. The finished product was on display at last year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, and production is scheduled for this year. When we heard this exciting news, we booked a flight and took a trip to their shop to learn more.
Initial Consultation
Upon our arrival, we got to see and drive the red Retro Rides '69 Camaro you see here. We especially noticed how well all the body gaps fit and if no one had explained what these cars are, we probably would not have recognized the modifications. The car at our photo shoot featured an STS Turbo Charged LS1 motor and a four-speed automatic.
The process begins with an initial consultation with the customer to go over how they want the car equipped, the color, the specific year ('67 through '69 are available in coupe and convertible), and if they would like any available options. After the consultation, a first-gen host car is selected, which provides many of the upper structural items to assemble the brand-new early-Camaro sheetmetal to. Because much of the host car will not be used, the overall condition is not terribly critical. The host car may be customer-supplied or Retro Rides will provide it. If the customer wishes, Retro Rides offers options like performance brakes, engine options, and accessories. Then the host car's critical parts are completely blasted to bare metal. Some of the main items needed from the early Camaro are the A-pillars and C-pillars.
Building Process
Retro Rides uses a patent-pending process to retrofit select mechanical portions of a fourth-gen ('98-02) Camaro or Firebird to the host car. Because a fourth-gen F-body is based on a 101-inch wheelbase and a first-gen on a longer 108-inch, the floor is sectioned and lengthened to accommodate the longer size. All exterior sheetmetal is replaced with new steel panels from Goodmark Industries, as well as new bumpers, grille, and weather-stripping.The car is then treated to a modern interpretation of the classic design by eliminating most body seams, tightening panel gaps, shaving drip rails, retrofitting 21st-century door strikers and latches, flush-mounting door handles, and many other custom additions.
Under the hood, Retro Rides adds a fuel-injected crate motor (standard is an LS1), a new crate transmission (four-speed automatic or six-speed manual), brakes, suspension, wheels, tires, and more. Options include an STS turbo (100 extra horses), a new LS7 (based on availability), full air suspension, and even an upgraded performance brake system to handle all the extra power. Inside, a new custom interior is installed using components designed to fit by Retro Rides. Each car is finished to customer specification as to audio system, interior fabric color, and more. The finished product is far quieter and tighter than the original--and user-friendlier. In addition to the normal items like factory A/C, power steering, brakes, windows, and locks, a Retro Rides car includes such items as power mirrors, remote keyless entry, cruise control, power seats, and even a full onboard diagnostic system!
The finished product is a car you can literally drive every day. It has all the reliability of a new car, the drivability of a true sports-performance car, and the creature comforts that rival anything on the road today. We drove the Retro Rides Camaro for about 10 miles and were very impressed. Although this particular car was still in the last stages of development, it accelerated and handled just like a late-model LS1-powered Camaro. The body fitment was excellent too. One of the best parts of our experience was looking out over the '69 cowl induction hood. As far as the car's looks in person, if we had pulled up to it at a stoplight, we're certain we would have recognized it as a genuine '69 Camaro. To learn more, contact Retro Rides.

How do you encourage drivers to stay safe on the road? STARTLE THEM WITH SKELETONS! At least, thats New York City's plan, which is deploying a fleet of new speed limit signs with a speed-activated skeleton warning.
Drivers who cruise by the new signs will see the standard sideways-walking-pedestrian-guy turn into a LED skeleton if they pass the legal limit of 30mph (48km/h). What happens if they hit 40? A pile of pixelated guts? If they're only driving 10mph (16km/h), does the sign give them the finger? "Who knows whether it's going to save a life?," commented New York mayor Bloomberg. "But at least we're trying to save lives rather than just sitting around and complaining and saying people should." Well then I guess I should just shut my big mouth then. [NYT via Laughing Squid]

We have 3 sip providers, one is a local mom and pop vendor and is directly connected to our Asterisk server, the ip from them is a internal IP. My other provider is an internet based SIP provider. We tried to add another SIP provider but when I add my trunk info that provider. it adds ok but I can't receive any calls from that provider. no audio then it hangs up the call. the provider sent me the trace of the test call but it is showing my eth1 gateway IP address instead of my eth0 gateway on the call??? is there some setting I can put in the trunk to tell that provider what IP address it is from? from the email
we are receiving 10.123.0.x for an RTP Ip from you...
I have tried fromdomain=216.x.x.x but that didn't help.

Once again, we had a wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of our Savior.
Jon, Emily & Blake arrived Friday afternoon. It was so fun having them here with us for Christmas.
Christmas Eve...We continued our tradition of our family advent calendar for December (the activities vary from year to year but some remain the same) and opening our Christmas Eve Box. And once again, I had cones & frosting in the box for making Christmas trees, or a Santa hat.
Auntie Em & I (Meg) did one too.
#babyB decided to "eat?" most of his.
We even played a math game with Auntie Em.
Later that evening we went to our Christmas Eve Gathering at The Bridge.
It was a great way to remember what Christmas is all about - THE greatest gift ever given.
The girls even sang "Joy to the World" with a children's choir.
Christmas morning...we were up early. But it's fun with kids. They are so excited. We opened gifts from our immediate family, while the Hight's slept in. Lily & Ella used their own money, from their piggy banks, and went shopping, with Daddy, for sibling presents. They did a great job picking out thoughtful gifts for each of their siblings. Here is Benny opening one of his gifts.
Yes, we're still in our jammies!
Lily requested monkey bread. Ella requested scones. Jake requested chocolate chip scones. We enjoyed some of our family favorites. After brunch, we Skyped with family and opened gifts from them.
It was a beautiful day so we decided to walk to the park and burn off some energy (i.e. all that sugar).
These two are only 3 months apart...and lots of pounds, like 5+ pounds.

1 Mussenden Temple
Originally constructed as a private library, the architecture of Mussenden Temple is modelled on that of the Temple of Vesta in Tivoli, Italy. If you make your way to the top of this sea cliff, you'll be rewarded with the opportunity to explore this tiny gem along Northern Ireland's coast, as well as stunning views over the pristine sands of Downhill Beach.
2 Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge
How brave are you feeling? The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge connects the mainland to Carrick Island, once used by intrepid anglers as a prime salmon fishing spot. Although not frequented by fishermen today, this stack in the middle of the sea still provides a tranquil retreat for any would-be explorers – but you have to step out over the crashing waves and across the swinging rope bridge first! Just don't look down...
3 The Giant's Causeway
The namesake of the Causeway Coastal Route, the Giant's Causeway is a marvel of the natural world. This UNESCO World Heritage site will blow your mind – 40,000 perfectly formed hexagonal basalt columns stretching out into the sea. This alien landscape was created when molten magma from the depths of the earth came into contact with the sea, crystallising to become the instantly recognisable icon we know today. Legends, however, offer another origin story – these are part of a bridge created by the giant Fionn MacCumhall in his attempt to fight his Scottish rival, Benandonner.
4 Rathlin Island
Hop on a ferry from Ballycastle and sail to Rathlin Island, just off the coast of County Antrim. Home to about 140 people, the views towards the mainland Antrim coast are simply sublime. Keep watch for seals basking at Church Bay, look out for wading birds roosting on the rocks and listen to the 'chow' calls of the choughs as they ride on the sea breeze. After dark, the glowing red 'upside-down' Rathlin West Lighthouse is the star of the show.
5 The Gobbins Cliff Path
You can't come much closer to walking on water along the Causeway Coastal Route! The Gobbins first opened in 1902 as a combination of natural splendour and mechanical engineering, allowing patrons to gaze into sea caves and down to swirling waters along this path bolted to the cliff face. Today, rejuvenated for the 21st century, you can spot fish glint in the waves while exploring the nooks and crannies of this wonderful trail.
6 Dunluce Castle
Perched atop cliffs that tower above crashing waves, the medieval remains of Dunluce Castle were once the seat of the earls of County Antrim in the 17th century. Rumoured to house a banshee (a spirit from Ireland that announces death), approach this once-handsome pile from across the bridge, with the battlements looming above, the wind in your hair and the taste of salt spray on your lips.

The Art of Eating's Swordfish with Olives, Celery, Garlic, Vinegar, and Mint
Swordfish is not a fish that needs to be treated with a gentle hand. It has a firm, steaky flesh with strong flavors that can stand up to virtually anything you throw at it. In fact, not too many other fish in the sea could stand up to the classically Sicilian Pesce Spada alla Stemperata or Swordfish with Olives, Celery, Garlic, Vinegar, and Mint.
Edward Behr adapted this recipe for The Art of Eating Cookbook and it's full of those big, punchy elements that swordfish thrives on: vinegar, capers, onions, garlic, and raisins.
Why you should make this: If fish is generally a bit delicate for your taste, we urge you to give this recipe a shot. It's about as meaty and satisfying a fish dish can be.
Next time we might think about: This can be served straight out of the pan, but room temperature is how they serve it in Sicily. We love the idea of the sauce sitting with the fish as it cools to intensify and really permeate the flesh.

- Yield:Serves 6
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- 6 swordfish or tuna (not bluefin) steaks (about 3 pounds total)
- Excellent, fresh-tasting olive oil
- 4 to 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 celery heart, thinly sliced, to make about 1 cup
- 1 carrot, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup capers in salt, well rinsed
- 20 green olives, pitted
- 1/2 cup white-wine vinegar
- ⅓ cup raisins, softened in hot water and drained
- 4 or 5 spearmint leaves, chopped
- ⅓ cup pine nuts, optional
- Salt and black pepper
Fry the fish in olive oil over medium heat just until the translucent flesh turns opaque, about 10 minutes for an inch thick steak, and remove it from the pan to stop the cooking. In a separate large, nonreactive pan with a lid, cook the garlic, onion, celery, and carrot gently in olive oil until soft but not colored, 5 minutes or more. Add the capers, olives, vinegar, raisins, mint leaves, and pine nuts. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt, if needed, and grind in pepper. If the pan seems in danger of drying, add up to 1/2 cup of water. Return the fish to the pan, cover, and cook gently to partly meld the flavors, not much more than 5 minutes.

Arch Design and the City
Junior Studio | ARCH 374
Visiting Lecturer Fang Xu
Course Overview
Designing within a city requires the comprehension and ability to encompass a plethora of complex criteria that influence physical characteristics and human experience. Urban environments develop out of aesthetic, economical, social, and political influences acting within their region. These factors underlie the basis for this studio where students are asked to examine the city at multiple scales while instigating new propositions that will engender a more tenacious and versatile metropolis.
The basic principles of Urban Design tell us to observe the city within its regional landscape,recognize its systematic anatomy and resources, understand the varying districts and neighborhoods, and operate at the scale of streets, plots, buildings, and exterior open spaces.While Architecture and the City should acknowledge the local fabric, enhance a given place, and be specific with its intentions.
Exploring issues such as density, diversity, and urbanity along with pattern and aggregation can be organized at the scale of the city, however students must develop a position on global topics and articulate them at the scale of site, building, and interior spatial experiences.
Course Catalog Description
Building design in the community setting; creation of place; introductory urban design and site planning issues, including universal design and accessibility; human-built environment relationship issues; architectural design and presentation methods; required field trips.

In deference to the light dusting of snow on the ground, Saturday starts with a short bus ride back to Eccles, where yet another packed house awaits the premiere of Paul Giamatti's upcoming film, "Win Win."
"Win Win" stars Giamatti as a down on his luck lawyer who moonlights as a high school wrestling coach. In a moment of desperation, he takes advantage of an elderly client, a move than comes back to bite him in the ass when the man's grandson, a talented wrestler, appears out of the blue.
The character is a departure for Giamatti, as this time he plays a happy, well-adjusted suburban family man. It was almost a deal breaker, according to the actor's old friend, and "Win Win" writer director Tom McCarthy, who addressed the crowd after its world premiere.
"I've known Paul for almost 20 years now. We go way back, we met at the Yale drama school together and we've been trying to find something for yeast and this just felt like it… I called Paul, he was finishing a movie in London or something and he was flying back. I said, 'I think I have something,' and I sent it too him and he read it on the plane, and I went over to house for thanksgiving. And I said, 'So, what do you think?' And he said, 'Wow, I really like the script, it's great.'
"Then I said, 'I think there's one major obstacle/challenge for you…' And he goes, 'Yeah, the dude's happy.' I said, 'I know, but you can do it. You can do it - you can show the world.' And he really did, he found a guy who was content in his life, and not condescend to these suburban characters."
The film is a rare beast, a feel-good movie that doesn't insult your intelligence. In Amy Ryan plays his wife, Bobby Cannavale is hilarious as his unhinged best friend, and newcomer Alex Shaffer, who gives a fantastic acting debut as wresting prodigy Kyle Timmons.
McCarthy, a character actor with three dozen films on his resume, who is quietly putting together an impressive body of work on the other side of the camera. He first came to Sundance in 2003 with "The Station Agent," winning the Audience Award, Special Jury Prize and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award for his story about a dwarf struggling with a break-up who retreats to an abandoned train depot to lick his wounds, only to develop friendships with two unlikely locals. He returned in 2007 with "The Visitor," a film about a college professor who finds a couple of strangers in his apartment, which earned Richard Jenkins an Oscar nomination and his career a serious shot in the arm. Now he's back with a film he co-wrote with his childhood friend, Joe Bitoni.
"Joe and I used to be championship wrestlers ourselves. For real--no. we were actually on the same team in high school and this is Joe's first screenplay by the way. I just had this idea one day, I hadn't really seen anything about high school wrestling, a much-undervalued sport in this country. So I called Joe, and I said, since we've known each other since we were about 10, I sad, "Hey, you wanna develop this idea with me?" And he said, "Totally! I'm in. What do we do?"
"We just start talking a lot and see if there's a story that comes out of it. And that's really where it started, laughing about our old wrestling stories. And Joe is an elder law attorney who lives in the town where we grew up together as kids… so we were just draw on those experiences. I guess a very personal story in that way and a lot of fun to develop."
And then it's back outside to go back inside the huge tent where they pen the ticket holder in a line with at least 10 switchbacks, to watch still another movie.
"Win Win" Premiere's at Sundance, Finds Giamatti on New Ground
In deference to the light dusting of snow on the ground, Saturday starts with a short bus ride back to Eccles, where yet another packed house awaits the premiere of Paul Giamatti's upcoming film, "Win Win."

This is getting so close to basically an RPG creator. Geoff, this is simply amazing. I say if you take a few more steps in this direction making an rpg creator would by far be one of the best things created yet. I myself thought the ppg creator to be superb but with how close you've gotten to an RPG creator just gets my hopes up that you may make it so. Either way this will make the platformer quite a fun creator for more in depth player involvement in a game.
Yes, Geoff said some months before that he is gonna release a RPG creator, I think.
If I'm not mistaken he also said that was either cancelled or delayed because of work done on the Arcade creator
Yes, that's why I said "I think". I was not sure.
I'm not sure either, that's why I said "If I'm not mistaken" XP

Review: Albright's 'Prague Winter' mixes the personal, historical
"Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948"
Madeleine Albright
Harper: 480 pp., $29.99
Madeleine Albright is a formidable figure. She was a member of the National Security Council and the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. When she became secretary of State in 1997, she was the first woman to hold the position. Her manner is direct, with a frankness uncommon for her level of statecraft. Nowadays she teaches at Georgetown, has a school of international studies named for her at her alma mater, Wellesley College, and writes the occasional book.
In her latest, "Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948," Albright traces her family's history and draws a clear picture of Europe during World War II.
Born in Prague in 1937, Albright was the eldest child of Joseph and Anna Korbel. Her father was press attaché to the Czech delegation assigned to Belgrade, where she spent most of her first year. As tensions mounted, Madeleine and her parents returned to Prague, and then, in 1939, escaped to England.
Their path, which seemed motivated by politics, had an underlying secret that Albright did not discover until her diplomatic career was underway. Raised Catholic, Albright had no idea that her parents had converted as a young couple and were, in fact, Jewish. More than 20 relatives, including her grandparents on both sides, were killed during the Holocaust.
The stories of their fates form the emotional core of the book, but the threads are slim. Individually and in small family groups, they are displaced, removed, listed as passengers on trains.
Frequently the stories end in blankness, with no written record or witnesses who were there until the end. When they do not, as in the case of Rudolf Deiml, the father of Albright's cousins, the story is heartbreakingly knowable. A carpenter friend lived to explain that when Deiml got off the train from Theresienstadt to Auschwitz in 1944, he told the waiting Germans he was a doctor; he was directed to the gas chambers.
Too young to have known her relatives beyond the odd childhood memory, Albright pieces together what she can, with letters, family recollections and a few photographs. She embeds these fragments in a well-wrought political history of the region, told with great authority.
For the first 100 pages, we get a thorough backgrounding in the cultural and political history of the region. Albright presents a coherent vision of the multilingual, blended heritage of Czechs, Slovaks, Germans, Hungarians and others that built a small country up to an industrial powerhouse and fostered a vibrant tradition in music and the arts.
Then she follows the moves from World War I through the inter-war period, providing context in which the threat of Hitler's rise to power can be seen. Over and over she writes of the considerations a small country must make when trying to forge a secure place in a world of shifting allegiances — which was Czechoslovakia's dilemma before World War II. We seeGermany's march into Prague from the Czech point of view, as the tragic result of domestic ties unraveling, conflicted and weak national leadership, and betrayal by international powers.
As the war progressed, Albright's family was in London, where her father was part of a core group of displaced Czech expats led by former President Eduard Benes. Albright's father, Joseph Korbel, mainly wrote and produced daily broadcasts on the BBC directed at those in Czechoslovakia resisting the Nazis. Korbel reported to Jan Masaryk, former ambassador to Britain, whose father, Thomas, was Czechoslovakia's first president and a major uniting figure.
For American readers who may not be familiar with the legacy of Thomas and Jan Masaryk, this book provides enough sweeping history and close-up detail so that Jan's end, after the war, comes as a shock. That is much later, when Benes and his colleagues have fought many well-articulated diplomatic battles to cement allegiances and secure power as the war grinds on. When Benes' crew of expat Czechs returned to the country, ostensibly in charge, the balance of power rapidly shifted to the Communists. On the eve of a trip abroad, Jan Masaryk, then foreign minister, was found dead outside his bathroom window. His death was ruled a suicide by authorities at the time but he is thought to have been assassinated by Russian agents.
That tragic end is an important part of the history of Czechoslovakia, which is the organizing force of the book: This is history told from the Czech point of view. The Theresienstadt camp, where most of Albright's relatives were sent, is called by its Czech name, Terezin. Pearl Harbor gets a single mention, while two chapters are devoted to a small band of expat Czech soldiers, trained in England and dropped behind enemy lines to assassinate Nazi officer Reinhard Heydrich. Sometimes, the shift in perspective seems to leave the arc of the war incomplete, but it provides an interesting counter-narrative to the standard American version of World War II.
Albright is more than just a historian — she's been a major international decision-maker, one whose choices have been as important as those she chronicles in this book. In a few moments — too few — she brings that knowledge into the text. "The plot against Heydrich illustrated the complex choices faced by leaders and citizens alike," Albright writes. "Benes had to weigh, on the one side, the political benefits of landing a dramatic blow and, on the other, the inevitable repercussions — the Nazis had the ability and the will to retaliate harshly."
The retaliation for the assassination was the razing of the town of Lidice, the murder of much of its population, and the order to ship Jewish civilians on trains to Terezin. Albright's maternal grandmother, Ruzena Spiegelelova, was aboard one. There were no survivors.
The "remembrance" promised in the title is scant and often disconnected from the action. Albright was a child listening for air raid sirens in England, while the men and women who fought and suffered were deep in the continent, unknown to her. More than a memoir, this is a book of facts and action, a chronicle of a war in progress from a partisan faithful to the idea of Czechoslovakian democracy.

Studies Illustrate Plight of Introverted Students
Educators often look for ways to bring quiet children out of their shells, but emerging research suggests schools can improve academic outcomes for introverted students by reducing the pressure to be outgoing and giving all students a little more time to reflect.
"Whoever designed the context of the modern classroom was certainly not thinking of the shy or quiet kids," said Robert J. Coplan, a psychology professor and shyness expert at Carleton University, in Ottawa, Canada. With often-crowded, high-stimulation rooms and a focus on oral performance for class participation, he said, "in many ways, the modern classroom is the quiet kid's worst nightmare."
Susan Cain, the author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, published by Random House this year, argues that such children often stop learning when they feel emotionally threatened in a class environment in which being an extrovert is considered the norm.
"There is too often a tendency to see it as inferior or even pathological," Ms. Cain said, "so teachers feel they have to turn the introvert into an extrovert."
Quiet as Stupid?
Take a typical class review session, in which a teacher asks rapid-fire questions and calls on students in turn.
"So if a teacher asks a question and the person doesn't answer right away," Mr. Coplan said, "the most common thing is the teacher doesn't have time to sit and wait, but has to go on to someone else—and in the back of their head might think that child is not as intelligent or didn't do his homework."
That slowness to speak can dramatically affect a student's success in classrooms where vocal participation and group activities are critical.
A 2011 study found teachers from across K-12 rated hypothetical quiet children as having the lowest academic abilities and the least intelligence, compared with hypothetical children who were talkative or typical in behavior.
Interestingly, teachers who were identified as and who rated themselves as shy agreed that quiet students would do less well academically, but did not rate them as less intelligent.
As many as half of Americans are introverts, according to the Center for Applications of Psychological Type, located in Gainesville, Fla.
There's a distinction between shyness—generally associated with fear or anxiety around social contact—and introversion, which is related to a person's comfort with various levels of stimulation.
A shy student, once he or she overcomes the fear, may turn out to be an extrovert, invigorated by being the center of attention.
By contrast, an introverted child may be perfectly comfortable speaking in class or socializing with a few friends, but "recharges her batteries" by being alone and is most energized when working or learning in an environment with less stimulation, social or otherwise, according to Mr. Coplan and Ms. Cain.
Mr. Coplan and his colleagues found differences between shy and introverted students as early as age 4: In play observations, shy children tended to hover anxiously just outside a group of unfamiliar children, while introverted children played quite happily on their own and did not attempt to approach other children.
"It seems clear," the researchers concluded, "that 'solitude' is an insufficient criterion for characterizing children as 'socially
In the 2011 study of teachers, the educators were more likely to respond to an over talkative student with direct intervention or social-learning strategies, while, for a quiet child, they were more likely to simply watch and wait or report the child's behavior to the principal or parents.
"The kids who are bouncing around the room and punching people in the face need to be addressed right away. In a classroom of limited resources, that's where the resources go," Mr. Coplan said, adding that the quiet students often get ignored.
The research is mixed on when and why quiet students are academically challenged. Previous, separate studies by Mr. Coplan; fellow Carleton University psychologist Kathleen Hughes; Mary M. Reda, an associate professor at the City University of New York; and others have found that quiet and shy students often have difficulty with class grades, but that largely comes from lower levels of class participation and oral skills.
Test-Taking Advantage
Some studies show introverted students can be better than extroverts at taking standardized tests."Parents of extroverts have told me [those students] never actually learn to work alone, so when the time comes to take tests, ... they have trouble," said Ms. Cain, a former corporate lawyer and researcher.
On the other hand, she said, focusing too much on students' work in a 30-to-a-room class environment doesn't necessarily prepare students for the project-based group work more common in the workplace.
"I actually think our [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] shortages are a cultural problem as much as a pedagogical problem; the type of kid who likes to sit by himself and do math problems or science problems is not supported," Ms. Cain argued. "Most science operations are done as teams, but scientists still have quite a bit of privacy and autonomy to their workday," she said, noting that such environments are also hard to replicate in classrooms.
Friendly Setting
Bobbi MacDonald, the executive director of the City Neighbors charter schools in Baltimore, is trying to create a more introvert-friendly environment at the network's three campuses.
"We start with play-based kindergarten and give increased independence and autonomy each year that you are in school," she said. "It used to be everyone is seated at their desks in a row, and everyone is supposed to be thinking the same thing at the same time. Those days are gone.
"When an individual needs a minute, it's not unusual for that student to find a space."
Most City Neighbors classes have a mix of desks, tables, and small reading nooks with soft chairs, and some walls are lined with floor-to-ceiling whiteboard or tag board, so that students can work on the schools' project-based curriculum alone or in small groups.
"Each teacher does it a little differently," Ms. MacDonald said. "In science class, the students might be in small groups, with one person as the team leader, one watching the clock, one taking minutes, and so on."
Creating smaller groups, of two or three rather than five or more, and providing clear roles for each member can help quiet students make a contribution.
Studies of college students have found that particularly in larger and unstructured groups, more-vocal members can dominate, even when they do not have the correct answer.
"There are many situations in which so much talk is not helpful, and if there is so much talk, there is less time to sit back and think," said Diana Senechal, a former New York City public school teacher and the author of the 2011 book Republic of Noise: The Loss of Solitude in Schools and Culture, published by Rowman & Littlefield Education.
"Those times of not entering the conversation—listening to what others say, thinking about it—can be very important," she said.
Particularly in subjects such as history, which call for students to think about connections between events and people, teachers should encourage all students to practice more listening and contemplation rather than rely primarily on class discussions and group work, Ms. Senechal argues.
In one small case study, Paul G. Barker, an educational leadership doctoral student at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, and the president of Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, in Olney, Md., interviewed graduating seniors whose teachers considered them quiet.
The students said their teachers often perceived them as less engaged in class, but they actually considered the time they took to process ideas before speaking a "learning advantage," Mr. Barker found.
Finding Entry Points
"When you're teaching something challenging, where the answers don't come easily," Ms. Senechal said, "the students who like to talk will jump in quickly, and then, if the discussion is well-managed, they might find their answers are not complete.
"The quieter students who spend more time thinking about it than talking about it," she said, "may have an opportunity for entry here."
The evolution of educational technology may also help.
Ms. Cain found introverted students responded more frequently in class discussions held online, where they had time to gather their thoughts and could contribute without others talking over them. Similarly, research has shown introverted students answer questions more often when teachers use anonymous student-response systems, often dubbed clickers.
Passion can be the best motivator for an introverted student to get more involved, Ms. Cain said. At City Neighbors, for example, each middle school student is required to read 25 books during the year, and then to discuss them one-on-one with teachers.
The format is more time-consuming than the typical class-presentation book, Ms. MacDonald said, but it provides a safe environment for quiet children and those with reading problems to discuss what they read.
"Somewhere in that 25," she said, "the child will find that one book that they love, ... and when that happens, the teacher is right there waiting for them."

I can't believe we have made it through the school holidays but we have, and here I sit, on a Monday morning, temporarily childfree.
Moments like this are rare in a household of three young children, and I can't deny they are welcome. Welcome too is the start of the school year, after seven weeks of constant family oversight, which started with the stress of Christmas and cabin fever (caused by three lots of chicken pox and torrential rain), and ended with incendiary days spent fighting over sunscreen or lolling inside, in the shade.
Of course, in the blogger's retelling of school holidays, it's the heat stroke, bad weather and endless battles over computer games that get highlighted. That leaves out the lovely days that worked well, where no-one misbehaved or fought and everyone enjoyed themselves. But then again, you don't read a parenting blog to hear a suburban mother bask in the glow of all things mummy-related. You read - or I do, anyhow - to assure yourself that others are also going mad from time to time, their kids also don't sleep or feed properly; that they also act, frequently, like little turds. And I hope that you have read all of that, and more, on this blog of mine.
This is my last column for Keeping Mum, a blog I started writing almost five years ago now. My mother had just died and I had a two-year-old and a four-month-old, and found I was desperate to busy my brain. I had been reading a fantastic column on the Sydney Morning Herald website by a stay-at-home father, detailing his good and bad days, how he tried to fit in with the stay-at-home mums, and how the whole parenting lark had radically altered his life. Believe it or not, at that time, locally, we didn't have columns or blogs devoted to mothering or fathering, so I pitched it to the Herald, and the Herald Online came back offering the chance to write a blog (whatever that was, I thought at the time!)
Column or blog, the choice of topics is endless. You could literally have a full-time job detailing everything parenting-related that happens each day. From the all-too-frequent horrible cases of child abuse we read about, to the latest - often contradictory - research on everything from breastfeeding to childcare, to the feelings that are evoked by your own, personal experiences of raising children - including the impact on your marriage - there is no shortage of material. I have hoped to cover as good a variety as possible in that time.
There are a few things I think I can say I now believe as a result of writing it all down:
1. I knew nothing, absolutely nothing at all, about children before having them. On the one hand this was terrible: the first child is the clusterbomb that blows your life to pieces. I firmly believe that, in the main, the first child is the hardest (while the subsequents grow the workload, they are not mindblasting in the same way, major issues aside). On the other hand, fewer people in general would probably have children if they were fully conversant with the effort required. Perhaps that's not a bad thing, which is another purpose an honest parenting blog/column can fulfil.
2. People who are violent to children (not a smack on the bum when they've done something wrong, but serious violence), I believe, forfeit their right to be around children at all. There is never any reason to 'beat' a child and people who do it - men and women - should be treated with the same disgust as sex abusers.
3. Boys and girls are very, very different, and basically need different parenting. Although of course all children need consistently reinforced rules, the right amount of genuine attention, and lots of good quality conversation with adults.
4. Bottle feeding isn't poisoning your child; daycare probably won't harm them; crying babies down at a certain age is bound to restore sanity to a household. However, I think personally breastfeeding (if you can), avoiding daycare when they are too young (if you can) and attending to your babies when they cry are good things. I also believe that if the Government has a role to play in the very early years, it should be to try and facilitate the ability of one parent to stay home with their kids for the first year (and preferably two). Plunket should also be better funded to provide moral and care support to families as well as provide groups (play and music and new mums) to help people actually enjoy their time at home with kids - a time that can be isolating and depressing if support systems aren't in place.
5. I have been incredibly lucky to have a husband who enjoys spending time with the children is an excellent dad. Thank you so much Ali - not only for your brilliant fathering but also allowing your often grumpy wife to vent her spleen on a public forum!
and finally;
6. There are many days parenting young children (or even older children) that will test your sanity and make you despair. This, I feel, is part of parenting that can not be glossed over. But it is also a great, humbling, and joyful experience to watch a child blossom and grow - an experience that can only be lived once per child. How lucky we are if we can do it!
Thanks to all readers of this blog for your feedback and interest, and may many happy memories be created on your own parenting journeys.

Alice Cooper is back, not that he ever left that is. What I'm trying to say is here is the original Mr. Nice Guy's new album and umm… the only words that spring to mind are 'fuck' and 'yeah'!
Much in the same vein as last years Brutal Planet, Dragontown is a concept album portraying the evil that goes on in our wonderful world. Musically it's not as hard edged as 'Planet which is a shame as the best tracks on this long player are indeed the harder ones, both lyrically and instrumentally but taken as it comes this album will get anybody pounding their fists in the air… old-skool, nu-skool come one, come all!
There is something on this album for everybody; from the thrash qualities of 'Triggerman' to the haunting ballad of 'Every Woman Has A Name'. Alice touches on a shed load of our social problems, even the current terrorist problems make an appearance in the track 'I Am The Sentinel' which comes from the view of a terrorist.
As mentioned above it may not be as good as 'Brutal Planet' as a whole but there are enough gems contained within to make it a worthy addition to your 'must buy' list.
This is Alice going back to his earlier offerings with a sprinkling of new styles, proving that an old dog can learn new tricks.

For some reason Mapsource couldn't "find" my device. So this morning I removed the SD Micro chip and used the SD card adapter. This fits nicely into my laptop's card reader. Mapsource found the device in drive F: and the transfer of maps was.......well. Fast! In only a few minutes the transfer was complete. Before I would wait 15 minutes for the map set to build and another 15 minutes to send. Just goes to prove.....it's never too late to learn something new.

Lakers step up against Eagles
Iowa Lakes finally stepped up its play when 13th-ranked Kirkwood came to town on Saturday.
After suffering a 20-point loss to North Iowa Area Community College earlier in the week, the Lakers buckled down in the second half against the Eagles on Saturday and turned a six-point half-time deficit into a 71-61 victory.
"Since we got back from break, we haven't been willing to grind it out," said Iowa Lakes coach Troy Larson. "In the second half, we played the way were capable on offense and defense. On offense, all the guys touched the ball and that makes it difficult for the other team when they have to guard for the full 35 seconds. On the defensive end, we guarded the right way."
After taking the lead in the closing minutes of the game, the Lakers' Deondre Parks hit a couple of 3-pointers to give the hosts some separation from Kirkwood.
The Lakers stepped and made free throws down the stretch to preserve the win.
Parks finished with a game-high 27 points, shooting 9-of-13 from the field including 4-of-5 from 3-point range. He also was 5-of-5 from the free throw line.
Latrell Love had just two points in the first half, but finished with 14 points including 8-of-10 from the free throw line.
Diamontae McKinley hit a pair of 3-pointers early in the game help the Lakers get on the scoreboard and finished with 12 points. He also finished with four steals.
Tate Harmon and Emmanuel Golong each finished with five points while Bill Makris had four and Colton Neff and Justin Sloter each had two.
Joesph Tagarelli led Kirkwood with 18 points.
Lakers crush ABCD Prep
The Iowa Lakes men had little trouble against ABCD Prep in a non-conference home game on Wednesday.
The Lakers led just 34-26 at halftime, but opened up in the second half on the way to an 89-59 victory.
Bill Makris came off the bench, making 9-of-10 from the field, to lead the Lakers with 18 points.
Colton Neff was 6-of-7 from the field and finished with 14 points. Brandon Boggs also came off the bench to score 12 points and Deondre Parks had 10.
Every Laker scored with Justin Sloter recording six points, Jake Janssen, Nathan So and Tate Harmon each had five, Latrell Love, Emmanuel Golong and Parker Bailey each had four and Diamontae McKinley had two.
Makris also finished with a team-high nine rebounds. Boggs had four assists.
Iowa Lakes (11-5 overall 3-1 in conference play) hosts No. 16 DMACC (16-3, 3-1) today at 3 p.m.

NC legislators at odds on insurance mandate stay
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers reached an impasse on disputed legislation surrounding autism insurance coverage and the federal health care overhaul before the first gavel fell Wednesday to open this year's session.
A General Assembly study committee examining the effects of the federal health care law on the state canceled its meeting after leaders again couldn't gather enough members to do business.
The panel also had tried twice to meet Tuesday but failed to get quorums each time. Most House members stayed away in protest of proposed legislation that would place an 18-month moratorium on new insurance mandates, according to legislators.
Some stayed away because they feared it would conflict with a bill passed by the House last year requiring health insurance providers to cover autism diagnosis and treatment. Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, has been a champion of the autism community.
"I think any time you have three committee meetings in a row that members don't show up that's probably an organized effort," said Rep. Charles Jeter, R-Mecklenburg, a committee member.
Committee co-chairmen said the draft legislation was designed to address concerns by committee members in recent weeks about an unstable insurance market due to the federal health care overhaul.
"The problem that we're attempting to address is to essentially identify some predictability going forward in the insurance-related market — that's all it was," said Sen. Fletcher Hartsell, R-Cabarrus and a committee co-chairman.
Another co-chairman, Rep. Jeff Collins, R-Nash and one of a handful of House members to vote against the autism insurance mandate, said the committee's draft bill was changed to begin the moratorium next year — giving time for mandate supporters to pass their bill during the session. But "that wasn't good enough for some of them," Collins said.
Two autism-related groups seeking the mandate brought supporters, parents and their children to this week's meetings. The debate is further complicated because Tillis has recognized Autism Speaks while running for the U.S. Senate. He wore a lapel pin shaped liked a puzzle piece — a symbol of the group — in a campaign television ad.
Tillis, who wants the federal health care law repealed, said Wednesday at a news conference that mandate issues should be looked at on a case-by-case basis, depending on the service. "There's got to be a clear benefit to it" for North Carolina citizens. He said he expects a resolution fairly quickly.
Lorri Unumb, a vice president with Autism Speaks, said group members will remain vigilant on the issue throughout the session. Tillis, Unumb said, has "been extremely involved and pledged his support to the autism community a year ago and has lived up to that ever since."

Lao Gang Restaurant Strike Out
>> Saturday, February 18, 2012
Venue: Lao Gang Restaurant, Puchong
Occasion: Coupon redemption & gathering of friends
Overall comment: One word - disappointing. I've read quite a number of positive reviews of this place & would want to give it another chance, but this 1st impression just left a scar that puts me off from making another visit to the restaurant.
Halal: No
p/s: I'm hoping that we're just unlucky to get such bad quality food today. Let me know if you've just tried it recently with the coupon deal & it was acceptable/good/just different from what we got tonight.
Pictures indeed speak a thousand words. At times, you don't even need nice words to "lure" (or to put it nicely, "attract") customers to your restaurant. All you need is a good photographer/photos & you're on your way to excellent marketing for your outlet! CR bought a coupon deal from Everyday coupons for RM162.50 - the sight of the roast pig's trotter on the deal's page was enough to convince her to get the coupon & gather a group of us to give this place a try. The meal was apparently worth RM325.00 (I emphasize, "apparently").
Here's what we'll get from the deal that we bought:
7 course meal for 8-10 pax
Dry Scallop with Beancurd Soup (Large)
Yam Chicken in Claypot (Large)
Deep Fried Garoupe with Pineapple (1.8kg)
Crispy Golden Butter Prawns (600g)
Crispy Trotter
Stewed Vegetables (Large)
Dessert (Wedding Pancake) (Medium)
The restaurant is tucked right at a corner of Bandar Puteri Puchong, on the Giant hypermarket side. If you know where Tenji2 is, Lao Gang is right behind the row of shops where Tenji2 is located. It's at the other end of the Sekinchan Ikan Bakar restaurant. If you're not familiar with the roads there, you'll end up going in circles & making u-turns as most roads are one way streets *sigh*
The restaurant didn't seem to resemble a typical Chinese restaurant. It didn't look posh & classy, nor did it look like the usual "dai chow" coffeeshops kinda restaurant. Literally translated, Lao Gang means "old port", so the interior of the restaurant & some of the dishes take after its name. The entire concept is largely based on the classic look of a small town in Negeri Sembilan called Pasir Panjang in the olden days. Reminds me of the mushrooming kopitiams with the word "Old" in front of the kopitiams' names (Old Town, Old Coffee, Old this & that...)
We also ate some of the snacks, oblivious to the fact that we will be charged (yes, it's also not part of the package - I didn't purchase this package, so I'm not aware of what's included). Rice was also excluded...hmm...
I don't know how else to positively comment. I'm just wondering if the quality of the food has dropped drastically or it's one of those days where the chefs are just not in the mood to cook? Professionally speaking, there's not such thing as mood - work is work, unfortunately. I hope other customers aren't getting the quality of food that we got tonight. It's really disappointing. I haven't had such disappointment with a restaurant's food since perhaps the Rak Thai experience. This experience costs us around RM21.00/person - for the dishes, rice, snacks, tea, & tax.
All the best, Lao Gang.
