These days I had a situation where I needed to use a control which is a part of the AJAX Control Toolkit, concretely the AutoCompleteExtender control. I had a TextBox control in a web form where the user needed to add another user to a given list, but for easier typing and not having to remember the whole name and surname, I needed to provide some kind of suggestions from the list of the existing users in the database. So, I downloaded the AJAX Control Toolkit and used it to provide this kind of functionality. In this blog, I will provide an explanation of implementing this functionality and example source code of using this control.
First of all, you have to download the AJAX Control Toolkit from here.
Then, you need to include it in your project as a reference in your Microsoft Visual Studio project:
Find the folder where AjaxControlToolkit.dll is located, select it and click OK.
After you have added the AJAX Control Toolkit to your project, if you want to use it in your web form, you need to add this line of code in the beginning of your page:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="ajax" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit"%>
This means that I will be using AJAX controls on this page. If I want to access them, I will use the prefix ajax.
But, I also need to include the ToolkitScriptManager inside a <form> tag with property runat="server" as follows:
<form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <table style="width: 51%;"> <tr> <td> <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Type some text here:"></asp:Label> </td> <td> <ajax:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server"> </ajax:ToolkitScriptManager>
In order to get the suggestions, I have to assign an AutoCompleteExtender with a TextBox, in order to get the suggestions while typing in the field. Then, we have the following code:
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Width="224px"></asp:TextBox> <ajax:AutoCompleteExtender ID="AutoCompleteExtender1" runat="server" ServicePath="AutoCompleteService.asmx" ServiceMethod="GetSuggestions" TargetControlID="TextBox1" MinimumPrefixLength="1" CompletionSetCount="10" CompletionInterval="200"> </ajax:AutoCompleteExtender>
So, what do these lines mean? We see several properties here, but the most relevant for us are:
In the AutoCompleteService.asmx, which contains our function GetSuggestions to give us the resulting items, we need to remove the comment characters right above the definition of the web service, in order to use our web service for AJAX controls:
// [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService] public class AutoCompleteService : System.Web.Services.WebService
Then, we have the web method GetSuggestions that retrives users from the database whose usernames start with whatever typed in the TextBox:
[WebMethod] public string[] GetSuggestions(string prefixText, int count) { List<string> responses = new List<string>(); try { SqlConnection sql = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=" + System.IO.Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "DatabaseFolder") + @"\SQLDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"); sql.Open(); SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Users ORDER BY username ASC", sql); SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader(); while (reader.Read()) { string s = reader["username"].ToString(); if (s.StartsWith(prefixText)) { responses.Add(s); } } reader.Close(); sql.Close(); } catch (Exception exc) { } return responses.ToArray(); }
The above code can be easily modified to your own needs. Hope that this blog post helps you in future. The example source code can be downloaded here.
My opinion - Ajax AutoCompleteExtender sucks :)
It is too slow...
I made my own simple Extender.... with jQuery, JSON and your favourite - Web Service :D
Useful content and awesome design you got here! I want to thank you for sharing your solutions and taking the time into the stuff you publish! Sublime work!
Nice example. However, if you ask me, AJAX Control Toolkit can be considered as already dead. ;)

Via Affirmativa: the road from beauty to becoming.
We are an international movement of art makers and art lovers whose aim is to reimagine and renew our lives through the making and enjoyment of beauty.
We do this:
- When we celebrate goodness, truth and beauty.
- When we integrate our lives through the intersection of faith and art.
- When we pursue friendships between lovers of art that build community.
- When we affirm our creative gifts through the making and enjoyment of art.
When received in gratitude, beauty creates new connections within us and between us. We recognize that this is a work of grace.
by James Allen
Composer, sculptor, painter, poet, prophet, sage,
These are the makers of the after-world, the architects of heaven.
The world is beautiful because they have lived.
Without them, laboring humanity would perish.
Cherish your visions, your ideals,
Cherish the music that stirs in your heart,
The beauty that forms in your mind,
The loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts,
For out of them will grow all delightful conditions,
If you remain true to them,
Your world will at last be built.

A California man stopped on the Grand Strand this weekend as part of a cross country trip to raise money for cancer.
Flynn Donoho, 52, has traveled more than 5,000 miles so far. He's homeless and unemployed.
At the beginning of this year Donoho decided to travel across the United States on his bicycle with a trailer attached to highlight the need for people to donate to cancer research. He left with only $20 dollars in his pocket and suppiles.
He cycles about ten hour a day, which is an averaage of about 50 miles.
Donoho's sister-in-law is a cancer survivor. "My goal is a thousand dollars to raise for American Cancer Society and I'm up to 595 and all I can say is donate donate because they need the funds and need a cure."
Donoho hopes to make it to south Florida by Christmas and back home in California next spring.

Temperatures to Stay Near 100 All Week
Triple digit temperatures could be a thing of the past, for now.
The National Weather Service has forecast high 90s all week for most of Northeast Texas.
Showers and thunderstorms are possible Monday night, with the skies clearing up for Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday calls for a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, with skies once again clearing up for Friday.
Just because the triple digit heat isn't in the forecast, doesn't mean that the danger is gone. 80 degree weather can produce 120+ temperatures within a closed vehicle after an hour of being left in the sun.
Leaving the windows slightly open doesn't have a great effect on how hot the car can get.
Stay with KETR for the latest weather information.
Stay safe!

Sandy Cijntje has 34 years old and for the first time is part of Executive Committee of SEBI, she is an administration worker on a Construction Company in Curazao. Recently she represented your region on the Construction Workers Conference in United States, Sacramento, California.
This interview is about her union work, interests on worker from Construction sector in the Caribbean and the equality of men and women in the Executive Committee of SEBI.
Q: What kind of contributions is giving you to the SEBI by on the new executive committee?
R: I am a person who firmly opposes injustice, unfair treatment and especially when it comes to woman discrimination. So know that I am a board member of the SEBI I can in a more meaningful way fight against the above mentioned. I think that it is very important to give the members information so that they are better informed, prepared, and can support the union better. I am also good at mobilizing members for action.
I know I will be from edit value to my union.
Q: Briefly tell us about your unionist background in Curacao.
R: I am very new in the trade union. After being a shop steward for some time, last September I was elected as a board member.
Q: Which aspects can be taken to enable women increased their representation in the organizational structures of trade unions?
R: I can use my Union as an example. SEBI's board consists for 50% of female members. This is why we as the female board members have a meaningful and a very important role in the decision making level. In addition, we made sure that in the collective labour agreement they included the basic needs of women like for example pregnancy/maternity leave.
Q: What you believe are the interests of workers in the construction sector in the Caribbean region?
R: To have the opportunity to learn a profession and by this get a better job and better working conditions;
They do not have problems with migrant workers. But they believe in a 80/20% work situation, so that the job opportunities are filled firstly by the local job-applicants, but migrant workers need to be treated fairly, equal work equal pay;
Construction workers in Latin America, Curaçao and other Caribbean islands do not like to be for example a carpenter a bricklayer because of the temperature that is very hot. In some Caribbean Islands the wages are not sufficient;
The employer has to make sure that the workers.

Weary: King of the River
Sue Ebury
In a wartime nightmare of starvation, disease, brutality and death, Sir Edward 'Weary' Dunlop's courage and compassion made him an Australian legend. During more than three years as a surgeon in the notorious work camps and vast hospital camps along the Burma-Thailand railway, he worked tirelessly to save lives and get men home to their families. He confronted his captors fearlessly; three times he was tortured and taken out to be executed, only to be reprieved at the last moment. Fellow prisoners regarded him as 'a symbol of hope and a rock'. This new, illustrated biography of Weary includes more than 150 images as well as material about his betrayal to his captors. Hard copy, illustrated, 461 pages.

Apathy, eh?
December 24, 2010
It's not that I'm hostile, it's just that I'm indifferent to almost everything. How do I engage with my life again? How do I beat this persistent apathy?
Three things have the capacity to engage me (sometimes), and in no particular order, they are: 1) my dogs, 2) other people, and 3) music.
But even though I care about these (few) things, I have to really push myself to do anything, even things that are supposed to be something I enjoy. Get out of bed, read a book, pet my dogs, see my friends—even if I'm vaguely looking forward to it, I still have to work hard to
myself to do whatever.
For a better example of the apathy, take the fact that I got all As in my last semester. Well, 2 As and 1 A-. I put in a lot of work, and I should be proud of myself or something, right? But I don't really
, and it bothers me that I don't care. But no, I'm just ...
eh, whatever
. (And it's not that I'm taking classes I have no interest in, I
interested in these classes, but it's a vague, clinical sort of interest, not a engaged, attracted-to sort of interest. Almost everything in my life is like that.)
How do I realign my heart with my life and
things again? How do I re-engage with my life? How do I beat this persistent apathy and stop saying "eh, it doesn't matter" when good things (or bad things!) happen to me?
(I'm currently being treated,
in therapy
with medication
, for depression, dysthymia, PTSD and anxiety disorder NOS. My psychiatrist and therapist both know about this problem and are tinkering with my meds/discussing it with me. And I read these two
but would like some more wisdom from AskMeFi.)

Do what you enjoy, and branch out to similarly enjoyable things from there. Sooner or later you'll end up in a position where you're doing enough enjoyable things that you'll feel connected (and, hopefully, happier).
Eg.s, do something with your dogs that can lead to you connecting to other people doing the same thing their dogs. Join groups that listen to the music you like, or set out to make the music you like with others. Get your friends to introduce to their friends, or try to define what it is you like about your friends and then find similar people.
I might add that there's the old cliche of "..begins with a single step" is often very true. Before you're going to feel like you're on a journey, and long before you've reached a worthwhile destination, you have to set out.
First, you have to do something. A lot of the time it doesn't matter what it is. If you do something, if you act, you'll either like it or not (even if only mildly). That will get you active in a process by which you are defining the things that you think are worth doing, and which do make you happy.

You are on the right track already. If your docs haven't already told you, this is probably simply another manifestation of depression-depression is not always "feeling sad."

Are you physically healthy? Have enough food to eat every day? A roof over your head at night? Safe from violence?
If you have all of these things, sometimes taking the time to understand that there are people who are struggling can give you a relative perspective about how fortunate you are in your own life, and that can stimulate appreciation for what you have.
Maybe volunteering could help. If you like dogs, animal shelters
need volunteer dog walkers or even foster homes. Churches always need people who will visit the homebound and ill.
I read
story today about a young man who helps a family with their disabled child.
Keep working with your therapist; it's awesome that you're seeking mental healthcare. I wish you the best.

Take up a dog-related hobby like agility. You will meet other people who have at least one thing in common with you, get out into the world, and learn about something new. Also I second volunteering at a shelter, especially if you teach yourself good clicker training skills, most shelters would jump at the chance to have someone come in and train the dogs basic manners.

This sounds familiar to me. I find myself content to spend a lot of time alone, despite enjoying socializing in theory. I have recently started to suspect that I am lazy, which contains a judgment that I know sounds self-loathing but I think might be true.
The one thing that really keeps me connected to what's going on and what I'm feeling, when I can force myself to do it of course, is meditation. I suggest downloading some of Sharon Salzberg and Tara Brach's talks from
and just trying them. The heart/mind or mind/body disconnect is really common, and I think it sometimes takes bouts of introspection to really address them. Meditation and physical exercise are good starts.
In the meantime, courage!

This really sounds like just another symptom of the depression, and thus you can expect it to eventually get better on its own once you find the right medication(s) for you.

red_lotus, if someone is suffering from clinical depression your advice is worse than useless.
A woman I know has everything. A loving husband, wonderful family, enough finances, a lovely home, etc etc. but for the last three years has been fighting a debilitating depression. This is a woman who has poured out herself for others for literally years and used to think that "getting your mind off yourself" was the best cure.
She actually apologized to me after she understood, finally, from experience, the pain I myself had been going through.
I do not suffer from depression anymore, haven't for a few years now, but I know for a fact that if the black dog already has you in its jaws, meditating on how much worse someone else has it only digs the hole DEEPER.

Another way of looking at this that came up for me yesterday, from two directions:
Firstly, I had Christmas lunch with a friend in rehab. And despite some of the people there being new to the center, a bit fragile, and clearly a bit worn out - it was an event that all the residents who were staying in contributed to, that all participated in, and that I think everyone wanted to work well. It was a community event. And it worked well.
Later in the day, I visited a friend whose eleven year old son isn't really a sports oriented kid. And he's not particularly social. They're working hard to change both those things. They've got him swimming, and he seems to enjoy that. But the longer term goal is to get him interested in a sport that involves some level of socializing. Not necessarily a team sport, but something that he does with other people. As he grows up, he's going to need a social group or community outside his family.
The common threads there are activity, and community.
Without rereading, I think I said something about taking the first step above. It's true, you need to take a step in any direction. You need to act. Then you need to repeat. And repeat again. Sooner or later, moving and being active becomes a habit. You'll begin to feel lost if you are not finding something to engage with. At that point you are no longer stuck in a motionless space where there's nothing to inspire, nothing to make you care, nothing to keep you going. You're in a space where you're coming across new things all the time, and you're reactions and responses to them will keep you moving.
But to give meaning to that, to make it worthwhile, to perpetuate your long term motion and direction, you need a sense of being part of a community. Whether you're just doing things with people who share your interests, whether you're supporting the people in your community(ies), or whether they're supporting you, it's very hard to remain disengaged if you're really plugged into a group.
To get there, you need to join groups, you need to participate, you need to try hard to connect to other people in them, you need to actively build the communities of which you're a part. You might need to work hard to do it at first, then plod for a time. But, after a while, this stuff becomes habit too. But it is habit that will be constantly paying you back with meaning and enrichment of your life.

MYSORE: Myths surrounding breastfeeding need to be dispelled, said Dr Narayanappa D, professor and HoD department of pediatrics, JSS Medical College. Many working and educated women stop breastfeeding as soon as they get back to work, he added.
It's surprising that even educated women are unaware of the advantages of breastfeeding, he added. Many working mothers think that if there are long gaps between feeds the milk gets stale, and so they avoid nursing their babies, Dr Narayanappa revealed.

Schwarzenegger Performed 2 Gay Marriages as Calif. Governor
Action movie star, former Republican governor of California and self-admitted horn dog Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted in an interview that he officiated at two same-sex marriages while he was in office, CNN reports.
The actor turned politician told Lesley Stahl during an interview for CBS' "60 Minutes" that he performed the nuptials of his chief of staff, Susan Kennedy, and her partner in the governor's office. He also presided over the marriage of a former aide and his partner at the governor's home, the Los Angeles Times notes.
The revelation may come to a surprise to some as the actor has said he believes in traditional marriage. But as governor, he opposed Proposition 8, the measure that bans gay marriage and was approved by state voters.
Schwarzenegger told Stahl that the ceremonies he performed occurred during the five months in 2008 when California recognized gay marriage.
He wasn't the only politician to officiate gay marriages, of course. Gavin Newsom, the current Lt. Gov. of California, also performed same-sex marriages at San Francisco City Hall while he was the city's mayor.
The "Predator" star has come under scrutiny for infidelities during his own marriage. In 2011, after he finished his second term as governor, it was announced that he and Maria Shriver were separated after 25 years of marriage after the revelation that the record-holding Mr. Olympia bodybuilder had fathered a son 14 years ago with his household's cleaning lady.
In the interview, Schwarzenegger said the infidelity was "the stupidest thing I've done in the whole relationship. I inflicted tremendous pain on Maria and unbelievable pain on the kids," he added.
Schwarzenegger, who is in the process of reinvigorating his film career, did the "60 Minutes" interview as part of a publicity campaign for his just-released autobiography, in which he admits to a series of extra-marital affairs.

How Do You Direct A Film When You Are Legally Blind?
26 September 2012 , 6:15 PM by Kelly Higgins-Devine
Don't know if you happened to catch a chat between Afternoons presenter Kelly Higgins-Devine and Professor Roly Sussex a few weeks ago about the use of the terms "blind" and "visually impaired" - what's politically correct, which terms people prefer. Kelly decided to seek an answer from a person with this disability. Meet "Gough". Gough is legally blind, he's also the first legally blind person to write, produce, direct and star in a feature film called "I Will Not Go Quietly".

Growing up should be reinvented for GenNext
'Mother knows best' - well, not quite anymore. The new age parent has to reinvent herself drastically to keep in tune with the changing times.
The parental figure is no longer the repository of wisdom and knowledge for today's generation. When in doubt, children rarely turn to their parents, but to the Internet whose vast wealth and information no parent can match.
So, what role can parents now play? For a start, parents have to accept that they have to change the very fundamentals of parenting. They have to do away with that 'because I told you so' attitude to one of listening to, even learning from, their children.
Peremptory attitudes simply have to go out of the window - children will no longer accept them. It should be the endeavour of every parent to recast herself in the mould of a friend, even counsellor, to her children.
The latter especially when they are going through their turbulent teens. Today's children, particularly those in the metros, are not only Net-savvy but conversant with a host of issues that their parents' generation were not.
For instance, witness the anti-child labour campaign spearheaded by children themselves which has led to people shunning firecrackers made by child workers.
Or, the anti-plastic movement that children have been in the forefront of in metros which has seen a drastic decline in the use of plastic products.
The concerns and interests of today's child go far beyond her immediate environment; she is a member of the global community, thanks to IT. It is, in fact, parents who have much to learn from their children.
Many parents today pick up their IT skills from their children who are naturally more attuned to new technologies. In modern Indian upper and middle-class households, it is environmentally conscious children who more than ever decide on the brand products which are to be bought.
Parents should appreciate the enhanced intelligence of children and accept that modern parenting has to undergo a paradigm shift.

Does anyone here have experience or information on someone from a non-ZEV state purchasing a "used" Zero Emissions Vehicle from one of the eleven ZEV states? What are the limitations and/or requirements, e.g. how long does it need to be registered to the owner in the ZEV state? PA P
I think maybe you need to clarify your question. Any car can be purchased used as soon as the original buyer drives it off the lot. There is no waiting period. What's a ZEV state? Anybody, in any state, can own a zero-emissions vehicle. If you are asking about tax incentives, state laws vary by state. The federal tax credit for buying an EV applies only to cars purchased new, and held long enough that the IRS does not suspect that it was purchased with the intent of re-selling it. States that give state tax incentives are likely each to have their own requirements to qualify for the incentive. Maybe if you clarify your question, someone who has an answer will respond.
I would check with the manufacturer to find out about warranty and service issues, otherwise there should be no problems. I think California is the ZEV state, as it is the one that uses the term. They and a subset of other CARB states that impose mandates are the ZEV states. Down here in Texas we just call them electric, fuel cell, or cng vehicles. I heard a fight between a guy in a ev versus one with a modified wvo truck in a bar. Hell both are good in my book. I'm not sure whether used vegetable oil or electricity is better both, but I prefer both to gasoline. In ZEV speak that WVO is bad, since its not regulated or taxed and things come out of the tailpipe that CARB hasn't studied yet. There are federal and state incentives on the cars, but in ZEV states there is a mandate that is ever changing on how many the manufacturers must produce. This gets reflected in pricing and service differences.
Correct austingreen. There are eleven ZEV states. My understanding is that there are some Zero Emission Vehicles that may only be sold in these states due to the incentives given to the manufacturer for each vehicle sold in that state. I think it is $4000. per vehicle. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this. I would like to purchase one of these vehicles, but do not live in one of the eleven states. Some of the sales persons have suggested I have a friend in a ZEV state purchase the car, then resell it to me. I don't want to do this if it is not permitted. I don't want any surprises. Therefore my questions from the first post-- What are the limitations and/or requirements, e.g. how long does it need to be registered to the owner in the ZEV state? Another question - who would apply for the $7500. federal tax credit-- me or my ZEV state friend? PA P
The only way it might be illegal for your friend to sell you the car would be if your friend signs a contract saying he will not sell it out of state. (Or saying that he won't sell it at all.) Otherwise they cannot prevent you from buying it. However, NOBODY gets the $7,500 federal tax credit, because a car purchased for re-sale does not qualify (I phoned the IRS and asked, at a time when I thought I might buy a Leaf and wanted to know the restrictions on selling it), and only a car purchased new gets the credit. Thus when your friends buys it to re-sell it, your friend does not get the credit, and you've purchased a used car, which does not qualify. You can phone the IRS to verify the above. They are very friendly and helpful when you phone with questions. States may have their own laws regarding their tax incentives, so those may or may not apply. I don't know any of the state incentives except that here in WA EVs are exempt from sales tax. So for the state laws you'd have to specify what state your friend is in, and find someone who knows the laws for that state. A tax accountant in that state should know, or you could phone the state revenue department.
seilerts, I'm guessing his Leaf would not be in my price range. I would not be expecting him to be selling for less than half price. daniel, a dealer told me the $7500. federal tax credit goes by the VIN. As long as the credit wasn't claimed on the vehicle before, then I can claim it. Does anyone have experience or more knowledge on this? PA P
The IRS has not even ASKED for a VIN to document the taking of any of the credits. Their audits found that credits were claimed even though cars weren't bought. (Now that's a real surprise!) If I wrote the regs I'd want a copy of the registration. The credits apply ONLY to new vehicle sales. The used car may have a reduced manufacturer's warranty.
JimN, the form used to apply for the tax credit, IRS Form 8936, Part I, Line 2 asks for Vehicle Identification Number. I am not trying to be obnoxious here at all, just wanting clarity before I jump. PA P
I'm going by what I was told when I phoned the IRS. I suggest that before you "jump" you do the same. Describe what you want to do and ask them about it. I've been told a lot of untrue stuff by car dealers. Some of it was probably intentional lies, and some of it was well-intentioned ignorance, but car dealers are one of the most unreliable sources of information. The IRS phone number is 1-800-829-1040. They are friendly, and one of only two reliable sources of tax information regarding federal tax rules, the other being a competent tax accountant. If you are afraid that they are going to trace you and use your question to trigger an audit, call from a pay phone. They will not ask you to identify yourself unless you request a written decision, which then becomes binding on them. Of course you can claim anything you want on your taxes, and you might get away with it. But a car purchased used does not qualify, and a car purchased with intent to sell does not qualify, so in your scenario nobody gets the tax credit. But do not take my word. Phone the IRS. It will take a few minutes of your time to get a definitive answer. Then you can decide if you want to screw with the IRS. Or you could tell your "friend" that he can claim the credit, get him to sell the car to you that much cheaper, and then let him take the heat and pay the fines if the IRS finds out he sold the car right after buying it. Or why not go to the state and buy the car yourself and ship it or drive it home? You won't get the state's incentive, but as original buyer you get the federal tax credit. There's no law that says you have to live in a state to buy a car there. Lots of folks have bought Priuses out of state.
Buying new via out-of-state friend continued to feel quite questionable. I was able to get a used Think City from out of state, which feels all above board. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts on this. PA P

"I love teaching because there's something new every day and the children give you a new outlook on life so you never get old....," Mrs. Anderson remarked. Mrs. Diaz said, "I'm now part of the community and get to know so many different people so well . There is honor and responsibility to be the person who brings understanding to another. Each day is truly full of surprises. It's so fun!" Mrs.Martin explains that she loves teaching because "I can see the light in the children's eyes when they learn something new and the smile on their faces when they know they have succeeded."
The road to becoming a teacher can be rewarding but it's not as easy as you might think! First, you need to pick and apply to a college that offers a teaching major. Your first two years at college will include classes in the arts, social sciences, math, humanities, English and other languages to provide you with a broad-based education. Typically, colleges will require 123 total credit hours for a bachelor's (4-year) degree to teach elementary school. Specialized courses in the field of education are taken in the last two years, such as Foundations of Education, Educational Psychology, Instructional Media, Teaching Reading, Teaching Special Education, among others. You also have to complete 8-16 weeks of student teaching, where you are placed with a trained supervising teacher to gain actual experience of conducting classes on a daily basis.
Getting your college diploma is only the first step
in becoming a certificated teacher. You then have to become certified in
the state where you wish to teach. In many states, you have to pass the National
Teacher Examination. Here are some of the questions; the answers are at the
bottom. Challenge yourself!
1. Of the children listed below, which
is the child most likely to be overlooked by a teacher as needing help?
a. the hyperactive child
b. the quiet, withdrawn child
c. the acting out child
d. the child who calls out the answer
e. the child who physically attacks other children
2. When a teacher uses homework regularly,
which of the following practices should always characterize its use?
a. It should be utilized as part of the learning process.
b. Children should review and correct it.
c. The teacher should collect and grade it.
d. It should be reviewed as the first part of the next lesson.
e. There should be a penalty for not completing it, sufficiently severe to make it clear that homework is important.
3. The nursery school, kindergarten and
primary grades include variety of activities in which there is an opportunity
for the child to manipulate materials. The primary reason for including this
type of activity is that it:
a. Develops perceptual skills.
b. Develops a positive attitude toward work.
c. Provides concrete experiences that form the basis for conceptual thinking.
d. Introduces children to a variety of creative materials.
e. Forces the child to pay attention to the lesson.
4. The classification of educational objectives
related to cognitive functioning into the categories of knowledge: comprehension,
application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation was developed by:
a. Bruner
b. Havighurst
c. Piaget
d. Bloom
e. Spencer
5. A character test was constructed that,
after it had been given, was found to correlate +.92 with intelligence and
=.20 with social behavior. From the evidence it is most logical to conclude
that the test was not
a. valid
b. reliable
c. objective
d. standardized
e. culture fair
Answers: 1.b 2.a 3.c 4.d 5.a

By ZAM firstname.lastname@example.com
KUALA LUMPUR: Two animated shorts - Blox Brigade and Ziro The Wizard ... In Training - screened to the media recently, were the result of successful story ideas submitted to the Cartoon Network's Snaptoons (Short New Asia Pacific Cartoons) Malaysia 2010 programme.
The programme, which in collaboration with the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC), offers local creative hopefuls an avenue to pitch their cartoons, comprising original ideas targeted at 4- to 14-year-olds.
The cartoons must also be smart, funny and with bold characters that can be the next-generation's cartoon heroes.
Blox Brigade, which is produced by Unizaru, revolves around the misadventures of three brothers - Edward, Arnold and Roscoe - as well as their mentor Ohka with the Supreme League of Evil.
While, Ziro The Wizard by Tomato Animation follows a bumbling wizard and his friend Nina's fascination with magic, which interestingly gets them into all sorts of trouble.
Both 10-minute shorts took half a year to complete.
Unizaru and Tomato Animation received assistance from Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific (the operator of the Cartoon Network channel) animation experts, as well as established local animation studios.
According to the Turner's regional creative director, Silas Hickey, Snaptoons Malaysia received more than 30 entries from budding, as well as professional, animators.
"As the No 1 kids' channel in Asia Pacific, Cartoon Network is always looking for ways to promote creative talent residing in our own backyard, and we're seeing some refreshingly awesome ideas emerging from animators in this country," he said.
Blox Brigade and Ziro The Wizard will premiere on the Cartoon Network, but the date is still under wraps.
At the moment there are no plans to develop any of the shorts into a full series, Hickey said.
But perhaps someday, home-grown products like these will join the channel's roster of iconic cartoons, such as Ben 10, Chowder, The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo, he said.
MDeC is caretaker of the MSC Malaysia initiative that is working to transform the country into a knowledge-based economy.

Consuming fruits and vegetables has been put forth as an obesity-prevention strategy. But previous research reviews drew conflicting conclusions about the protective effects on children and adults of consuming fruits and vegetables.
These researchers looked at peer-reviewed journals to determine if fruit and vegetable consumption (FVC) was related to reduced or slower gains in adiposity among adults and children in experimental or longitudinal studies. In all, 23 studies were assessed.
Key Findings:
The study concluded that the inverse relationship between FVC and adiposity in overweight adults appears weak; among children the relationship is unclear.

Local Hope MacDonald Keeps Dream Alive at Oakley Pro Junior North Stradbroke Island
NORTH STRADBROKE ISLAND, Queensland/Australia (Thursday, February 3, 2011) - Local North Stradbroke Island hope Tim MacDonald (North Stradbroke Island, Qld) kept his dream of winning the 2011 5-Star, Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) Oakley Pro Junior alive today, as he posted day-two's highest combined two-wave total of 13.98 (out of a possible 20).
Entering the event in the Round of 64 at his home break, MacDonald proved he will be one to watch as the event reaches the business end of competition as he outclassed Creed McTaggart (Margaret River, WA – 11.55), Chris Robertson (Cronulla, NSW – 9.65) and Mitchell James (Kingscliff, NSW – 6.50) who finished second to fourth respectively.
"It was nice to get that first one out of the way, it's always nerve-racking surfing at home with all your friends and family watching," said MacDonald.
"Hopefully the waves hang in there for the final few days and we see some good surfing going down, but I'd love nothing more than to win at home," he said.
With North Stradbroke Island not feeling the effects of the predicted swell from TC Yazi, organisers continued to capitalise on the 1m waves at Main Beach, with the event reaching the final seeded Round of 64 as the competition's top competitors entered the water.
Keeping with the Queensland dominated theme of the day, the Sunshine Coast's Eli Steele (Caloundra, Qld) progressed through to the Round of 64 and Gold Coaster Thomas Woods (Burleigh Heads, Qld) progressed through to the Round of 32 before competition was called off for the day.
Steele scored a combined two wave heat total of 11.50 (out of a possible 20) advancing through his heat along with fellow Sunshine Coast surfer Josh Menger (Maroochydore, Qld – 8.75) and eliminating Luke Streader (Ballina, NSW – 7.85) and Joseph Sandercock (Lenox Head, NSW – 7.10).
Meanwhile, Woods continued his good form, posting an 11.05 (out of a possible 20) trumping Matt Gale (Werri Beach, NSW – 10.60), American Cole Moody (9.90) and Sam Schumann (Forster, NSW – 8.55) who finished second to fourth respectively.
Closer to finals day a JS Surfboards expressions session – the Tractor Big Boost will see 12 hand picked competitors (four locals, four Australians and four international competitors) compete for three brand new custom JS surfboards, with the best placed local surfer also winning one brand new JS surfboard!
The Oakley Pro Junior is proudly supported by Oakley, ASP Australasia, Surfing Queensland, Red Bull, Vertra, Stradbroke Ferries, Stradbroke Island Holidays and Redland City Council.

The Poconos Complaint
October 15th, 2012 by ControlLTV Press is proud to announce our 4th and perhaps most hilarious publication: The Poconos Complaint
Deep in the woods of the Poconos lays an abandoned resort where no one can hear you scream. Or break windows, or throw what's left of the furniture off the balconies or all those other awesome fun things one can do in a completely trashed, absolutely worthless abandoned set of buildings.
This location-specific book takes a long hard look through the eyes of pissed off guests at the slow, painful decline of The Poconos Garden Lodge - a resort once owned by the much more infamous 'Mt Airy Lodge' (which itself was bankrupted, abandoned and completely bulldozed and replaced by a casino of the same name). The book is comprised entirely of darkly humorous complaint letters from actual guests and the responses sent back to them by inept hotel management who seemed to be in absolute denial of the decay setting in around them. These letters are illustrated by more recent photos showing the post apocalyptic state of the grounds today.

There is a relative scarcity of information regarding training children in sport, particularly among the 6- to 11-year-old age range.
Moreover, the strength and conditioning coach should be aware that improvements in performance in this age group may be as much due to growth and maturation as it is to specific conditioning programs (16). Adult programs are too often simply copied and applied to children with little regard for growth and maturity appropriateness. There are many terms involving growth and maturation that require definition. Familiarity with several terms will begin our understanding of training this age group.
Motor MaturationDuring the age range from 6–11 years, the body grows at a relatively slow but steady rate, and movement proficiency improves steadily (10). In nearly all motor abilities, girls tend to reach their peak adaptability about two years earlier than boys.
During this period, fundamental movements are developing and should be emphasized, such as walking, running, jumping, throwing, catching, striking, bouncing, hopping, galloping, skipping, and climbing. Balance skills, both static and dynamic, are improving as well (8,10). Try to allow for individualized instruction while emphasizing increased balance task difficulty. Hanging and climbing activities will be helpful to develop upper body strength and muscular endurance (8).
Specialized movements, often found in mature sport skills, are developing near the end of this age range. Provide opportunities for practice with increasing emphasis on proper technique and form (8). Children's interest in sport becomes intense during this period. Provide a variety of opportunities and plenty of encouragement to try harder and to try new things. Movement variety is more important during this age range than specialization (4,8).
There are several "sensitive periods" for athletic development that occur throughout childhood. Balance skill shows a sensitive learning period from 9–10 years for girls and 10–11 years for boys, but does not reach full capacity until approximately 13 years (6).
During the age range discussed here, there is a sensitive period for both males and females in aerobic endurance between the ages of 7 and 10 years (6). Flexibility and stretching are most adaptable during this period (14,18,19). Speed development enjoys a sensitive period during this age range as children provide a malleable nervous system for speed development, particularly ages 7–10. Other sensitive periods, particularly for aerobic adaptations also occur later during growth, while sprinting and speed of movement appear to be largely confined to the period before 10 years (6). With regard to speed, sprinting, and agility training, introduce high speed and more complex movements during this period, but ensure that the youngsters achieve full recovery between speed tasks (6). Finally, be aware of boredom by constantly varying the exercise challenges, and consider that variety can be achieved by changing the environment, starting position, direction of movement, pace, adding extra movements, changing start signals, and so forth. Physical MaturationSkull size remains approximately the same through this period until the end when the skull broadens and lengthens. The size of a youngster's head can influence some training tasks. For example, while the child's head is proportionately large during this age range, the arms are then relatively short. Thus, skills such as a backward roll are difficult to accomplish simply due to the short arms having a difficult time lifting the body high enough to clear the head as the youngster rolls backward on the floor or mat (17).
Growth can vary enormously during this period from 7–10 years. Matching opponents should be carefully considered so that a physically more mature youngster is not matched with someone less physically mature (13).
Growth is steady during this period which translates to increasing training loads commensurately with growth (6). However, consider that growth is multidimensional with psychological, social, self-confidence, social support, and other dynamics. Training load decisions should include all of the foregoing to achieve age and status appropriate demands. Children will grow approximately 5.1–7.6 cm (2 – 3 in) per year, and gain 1.4–2.7 kg (3 – 6 lb) per year. Peak height velocity should occur after the age range considered here, such that the rapid growth period is of limited concern. Large muscle groups are further developed than small muscles and children tend to prefer whole body movements (6).
The strength and conditioning coach should emphasize whole body movements, using the whole-part-whole method of instruction whenever possible. Visual presentations and demonstrations are especially important during these years (9). Ligaments, tendons, and muscles are becoming stronger, but are not yet able to handle large external loads (6). Weightlifting should be limited with emphasis on technique using light weights. At this age, body weight is usually sufficient for development of strength. Be aware of high-impact exercises and consider using softer surfaces while monitoring fatigue closely. Bones are growing and epiphyseal, or growth plates, are "open" meaning still largely cartilaginous. Bone and growth plates are better at handling compression than tension or shear. Emphasize closed chain exercises when possible to avoid tensile stresses on growth areas (5). Muscular endurance can be developed during this period. However, large numbers of repetitions with heavy loads should be discouraged. Games and other activities involving short bursts of intense efforts followed by rest can be used to develop muscular endurance and maintain both variety and fun (6). The cardiorespiratory system is continuing to develop, but is not yet mature.
A six-year old may have an average resting heart rate of 105 bpm, with girls usually averaging lower than boys. Absolute anaerobic power at 8 years of age is only 30–40% of that at 18 years of age (11). The smaller absolute anaerobic power values of children points to the influence of size and mass in assessment of this characteristic, but children will be lower than older athletes even in relative terms (11).
Highly trained children will have an anaerobic threshold of approximately 75-85% of their VO2max. Children are better at activities with intensities below their anaerobic threshold (1,2). Try to keep muscular endurance activities below the anaerobic threshold, and therefore using the ATP-PC and fast glycolytic energy systems. Children have higher nutritional requirements than adults doing similar activities. Children can increase their basal metabolic rate much higher than an adult, supporting the idea that appropriate macronutrients are needed; both in terms of quantity and quality. ConclusionTraining children can present special challenges to the strength and conditioning coach. The idea of "age appropriateness" is simply a shorthand phrase for the old saying, "children are not just miniature adults." Scarcely little time and documentation are provided to the strength and conditioning coach working with children. If you plan to simply transplant an adult program to children, please stop and reconsider. Children have different capacities than adults and need specialized programs designed for them. Keep in mind that the primary reason children take part in sports and other physical activities is for fun. Ensure that children are having fun while also achieving fitness and preparation for future sport activities. No one makes the pros or wins a gold medal at 10. Allow children to slowly develop so that training loads rarely reach an injury, boredom, unpleasant, and/or unfriendly threshold.

I think you are absolutely on point about a boy's curiosity at that age and, a 6 yr old child was easier prey for him than a child his age or older. This 13 yr old is probably an introvert and is shy around girls his age. Yes, it is terrible what happened to the little girl but i pray that both children can get the emotional and mental help they need.

Let the hype begin for 49ers/Steelers clash
The stars will be out Monday for 49ers/Steelers
Craig Massei
NinersDigest.com publisher
Posted Dec 14, 2011
The national perception of the 49ers has been wavering recently, but there's no question they'll get to show the football world what they're really all about when they take the Monday night stage against the Pittsburgh Steelers. "The 49ers and Steelers, these are two global franchises," ESPN analyst Jon Gruden said Wednesday. "Both these teams should be playing this time of year in a big game."
For the 49ers, it doesn't get much bigger than their upcoming game against the defending AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers.
Or, to put it in better perspective, the Niners haven't been involved in such a big, late-season, nationally-televised, high-stakes game against an imposing opponent since the team was at the tail end of its two-decade dynasty in the late 1990s.
The Niners were regulars in the Monday night spotlight game back then, appearing each season as many times as the NFL limit would allow. They played in the maximum three Monday night games in 10 of 11 seasons from 1989-1999, but after showing up three times again during their NFC West championship season of 2002, they appeared on Monday night only seven times in the next eight years.
Two of those appearances came last year, when the 49ers were preseason NFC favorites and were expected to have finally arrived as contenders again under coach Mike Singletary.
Instead, they plummeted to a 6-10 finish as one of the NFL's biggest disappointments of the 2010 season. That put them on the schedule for just one Monday night game this year, but many involved with the Monday Night Football production are eager to see the Niners become showcase regulars again.
Play-by-play commentator Mike Tirico, part of a three-person booth that broadcasts Monday games on ESPN that includes analysts Gruden and Ron Jaworski, said the Monday crew is part of a large legion of NFL followers who have been anxious to see the 49ers become relevant again.
"I think that's why there's such an excitement of the resurgence in the Bay Area of the 49ers, because that really seems like a distant memory to those Super Bowl championships won by (Bill) Walsh and (Joe) Montana and (George) Seifert and (Steve) Young and that group of 49ers," Tirico said. "It seems so long ago. It is truly a generation ago."
Tirico went on: "I've got an 11-year-old son, and I say the 49ers, they were it for a long time," he said. "And he'll kind of look and go, 'Really? When was that?' So for a new generation of fans, it's a great opportunity to remind ourselves of one of the great legacies in the NFL. To see the 49ers relevant and very much in the mix here is great for all of us.
"And you put those two global franchises on the field, 10 wins, late in the season, (and) meaningful for both teams because they both have work to do within their respective conferences. For the 49ers, to play a big-time opponent on a big stage, what great preparation for all the other stuff that goes on around a game and hype leading up to a big game because they're going to see it in a couple of weeks in the playoffs as well."
The 49ers may need to win their final three games to hold onto the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs and the bye week that goes with it. As Tirico pointed out, the next two Monday night games, "really could determine who gets the No. 2 seed in the NFC, and I think that's huge for a younger, less-playoff-experienced San Francisco team. It would be great to have as many (playoff) games at Candlestick as possible."
The Niners are battling the New Orleans Saints, also 10-3, for the No. 2 seed in the NFC behind undefeated defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay. New Orleans hosts defending NFC South champion Atlanta in the season's final Monday night game on Dec. 26.
While nobody today is labeling this game as a possible Super Bowl preview, there is no question it's an attractive inter-conference showdown between two of the league's best teams who, indeed, could both make it to the big game in early February.
"We do have two great franchises that represent a great tradition of the National Football League as far as winning championships," Jaworski said. "With our Monday night crew, one of the things as we traveled around the league, I have collected an array of photographs of the trophy cases of all the teams around the league, and when you talk about those teams that have multiple Vince Lombardi Trophies, you're talking about the 49ers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Those are a couple pictures I have prominently displayed in my office."
The opening video presentation for this Monday's game will feature Joe Montana, who had a shoot with the Monday Night crew in San Francisco on Tuesday. It's part of the venerable show's intention this week of highlighting the 49ers tradition and the resurgence of the franchise.
"It's going to be a chilling experience, I think, for a lot of 49ers and certainly Pittsburgh Steeler fans, 10-3 going head to head against each other," Gruden said. "It's going to be great."

Hartford Lawyer to Run for Attorney General
(Hartford, May 8, 2010)
Attorney Stephen Fournier of Hartford filed papers last week formalizing his candidacy for the office of attorney general. Fournier, admitted to the bar in 1978, has had a diverse practice over the years, beginning with an assignment as Staff Attorney in the University of Connecticut School of Law Criminal Clinic and culminating with the closing of his real estate practice last year.
Fournier was nominated as the Green Party candidate for attorney general in April, and he consented to have his name appear on the nominating petition of the Independent Party. The Green Party nominee will appear on the ballot without petitioning, because the party's 2006 candidate Nancy Burton received more than one percent of the vote.
Fournier announced his candidacy at Hope Out Loud Coffeehouse, where he sings and plays every month to benefit the local antiwar movement. He told his audience that he is running principally to restore the rule of law, and he promised to take on rogue government at all levels. He described himself as "furious" over the lawlessness of public officials and the corruption of public policy.
Fournier calls himself a "people's lawyer," tending to take the side of the employee over the employer, the borrower over the bank, and the individual over the state. He has tried cases to the court and to the jury and handled civil claims of various kinds. He closed his doors after "one too many conflicts with crooked bankers." Fournier is currently employed in food service at Portland Secondary School, maintaining only a part-time law practice.
Fournier has been involved in the peace movement since his discharge from the Air Force in 1970. He is the principal author of the Connecticut Green Party platform, presently awaiting adoption by the membership, which calls on state government to:
"The office of attorney general should be occupied by a political independent," says Fournier. "From an attorney's point of view, there's an inherent conflict of interest between representing the people of the state and fealty to a major political party. How do you restrain rogue government when half the wrongdoers are your political allies? I have no political allies in government."

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 12:00 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012
Staff Writer
Architecture is historically considered a mix of art and science.
"If a building is perceived as interesting or beautiful, it tends to push more toward the artistic side," said Michael McInturf who directs the Master of Architecture program at the University of Cincinnati's School of Architecture and Interior Design. "A building can often cause an emotional reaction — it may be innovative, creative or may even anger people."
McInturf says today's designers must contend with building and zoning codes, economic feasibility and client requirements. He says it's what the architect does beyond those basic requirements that turns a building into something truly special.
Today, we launch a new series that invites our readers to view both professional and residential buildings in the area through a different lens: the eye of a professional architect. It's your chance to take another look at structures you see every day, but may know little about or thought about as a work of art.
With the help of their professional organization, AIA Dayton, we've invited architects throughout the area to pick their favorite structures and to tell us what's special about them.
Matt Sauer is a Dayton native, an architect with local film RBA and president-elect of AIA Dayton. He lives in South Park with his wife and daughter in an 1879 cottage that undergoes continuous renovation.
I admit that it's easy to overlook buildings from the 1950s and '60s. The typically plain, boxy modernist facade can lack the charm and distinctiveness of earlier architecture, like the Dayton Art Institute or the Arcade. It is sometimes hard to distinguish one 1950s building from another (especially schools) and so many examples dot the Miami Valley that those two decades must have been a boom time for local construction and design firms.
So you might be forgiven for overlooking my favorite area building, the former Evangelical United Brethren Headquarters at 601 W. Riverview Ave. It was built in 1959, and sits just west of the Masonic Temple. The architect was the small Dayton firm of Lagedrost & Walter, who were prolific in this period, designing a number of local churches and schools. They later collaborated on the IBM (Soin International) Building downtown.
The United Brethren Headquarters building is a modernist gem. What sets this building apart from others of the period? To start, the form. The plan of the three-story office wing is shaped like an "L" and set back from the street, with a one-story chapel appended to the east side. The chapel and the short leg of the "L" surround an outdoor courtyard, a lovely space now shaded by two big, leafy trees, and sunken just enough below the level of the sidewalk along Grafton Avenue that you feel enclosed without walls or fences. The ribbons of office windows on the east side look out over this courtyard to views of the skyline and the Masonic Temple.
The main entrance on Grafton is modest, but shows off subtle detailing. Above the glass doors is a tall aluminum screen of airfoil-shaped fins — a space-age touch. The chapel is accented by a clerestory of stained glass and a cornice of repeating triangular limestone panels, in contrast with the flat, light-colored panels that adorn the rest of the building.
Any one of these elements could be found in a lesser building around town, but here they're brought together in a skillful and sensitive way, taking full advantage of the sloping site, the river frontage, and the views. I can't help but check it out — and smile — every time I drive by.
We're presenting our new series on regional architectural treasures in cooperation with AIA Dayton. The organization was founded in 1900 as a chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and serves today as the voice of the architecture profession in the Miami Valley. AIA Dayton serves a nine-county area and is involved numerous community outreach programs, including Greater Dayton's Favorite Architecture, where the public can vote and comment on their own favorite buildings. Find more information online at greatdaytonarchitecture.com and www.aiadayton.org.
