Charles O'Gorinan, Detroit, Mich., president; Charles Cobeen, Milwaukee, Wis., secretary-treasurer; and one other not named in the letter. Accompanying the national representatives will be one representative Drive Begun For Upperclass Ball , With the junior-senior ball only three weeks a\vay, an extensive drive for the collection of class dues will be made during the coming week beginning Monday, which has been designated "Junior-Senior by Earl F. Wegmann, chairman of arrangements. "Approximately 115 juniors and ii'seniors have signified their intention of going to the ball", Wegmann said, "and the purpose of "Junior-Senior Week" is to collect dues from all who have said they will go and to influence those who are yet undecided to attend. We expect the class members to t make a special effort to get the jfunds into hands of committeemen Ibefore Friday By making a conpcerted drive, e hope to exceed the number expected and secure funds far enough in advance to make finalj*»neiete plans." All other arrangements have been made, according to Irvin A. Timmreck, assistant chairman. "Leslie George's orchestra has been BecurC das well as the New Orleans Country Club. The order for fthe fi. ors has already been placed ind dt'ivery is expected within the next wek or so. Invitations are being pr nted and will be distributed at soon as class members pay their class dues. Arrangements tor decoratianti have yet to be •made, depending on the response received this coming week. The committee at present is working plans for a grand march and I a formal presentation of favors. UNKNOWN "Who's Who" Ten Loyolans rated biographies in the second volume of the College Who's Who which was released recently. They are C. Paul Barker, Edward Driscoll, Thomas Dunn, Robert Hollier, John McCann, Harold Peterson, William Roy, John Schilleci, Irvin Timmreck, and Efcrl Wegmann. Election to the College Who's Who was based upon character, scholarship, leadership in extracurricular activities, and the possibilities for future leadership. According to the editors of the publication, the motivating idea back of it was the establishment of a reference volume of authoritative information on the outstanding undergraduates in American colleges. Bound in an attractive blue binding and edited by H. Pettus Randall, the book lists more than 1600 students from 300 colleges. Only three colleges from Louisiana were represented in the volume, Tulane and L. S. U. supplying 14 and 10 students respectively. The editors have limited themselves to nominating never more than one per cent of the student body of any one college. Glee Club To Elect Officers On Tuesday The final meeting of the year will be held by the Glee club on Tuesday, April 21, at 4 o'clock in room 31 of Marquettei hall, according to an announcement by Edward R. Carey, president. All business' of the year will be completed, and the election of officers for the coming year will be held. Ranch House Scheme Provides Scheme For Studying Students If you want peace and quiet in order to cram for a quiz, test or exam, walk over to the Texas ranch. There you will find the model students' paradise—room No. 1. But don't forget the ante— two-bits, half a dollar, or a buck. The amount varies according to the importance of the subject. Two weeks ago the huskies in room 1 decided that "bull sessions" were interfering with their powers of concentration. Something had to be done to abolish such an evil practice. "Buster" Constanza, the pride and joy of the pharmacy school, propositioned his roomates, Red Eaton and Max Williams. Each was to put up a dollar ante which was returnable provided the owner had not broken silence at the end of two hours. Silence, in the group, is defined as any disturbance whether talking,talking, laughing, playing the radio or "any horse play," calculated to jangle the nerves of a concentrating mind. The plan is working successfully at present and is recommended to others who are having trouble with "bull shooting", according to Red Eaton. So far no one has lost any high stakes. Since the cost is small when compared with the amount of work done the trio from the ranch intend to keep up their cooperative study plan. All funds defaulted by students breaking silence are divided by those who have studied peacefully until time is called at the end of the study period, The ante must vary with the importance of the subject being studied in order to stress the necessity of working intensely on quizzes and examinations, Students Promised Gala Time At Dance Tonight Affair At St. Charles Hotel To Last From 9 to 1 With spring here fresh from the country and sartorial perfection still uppermost in the minds of ■ most, even though the Easter parade has come and gone, the vernal student dance tonight should be a. colorful affair. With pretty young lasses in summer evening frocks gracing the ball room floor of the St. Charles Hotel Convention hall and the masculine dates and stags spiffily attired in white linens and white pedal accoutrements, the dancing scene from 9 until 1 should rival an artist's conception of a flower garden in full bloom. M. V. Jarreau, clad in white gabardine double-breasted suit, navy blue shirt and blue-and-whitestriped tie, shoved his hands into th'e pockets of his pleated pants, turned half-way around, displaying the latest in pleated backs-, and said that Roy Aultman would be there with the "musical goods". Aultman himself has said that he will be dressed "to kill" (not with the music). His orchestra will discard its winter formal and take on its new summer attire, so they'll be right in the swing of things. The opening number scheduled for tonight is "Swing Is Here", that new jazzy, peppy, swingy, thingy, which tickles your ears (like we do a girl we know) and makes your feet do things. If you follow the right road, you'll go to the student dance. If you follow correctly, you won't get your white shoes dirty. If you follow the crowd, we'll see you at the St. Charles tonight. If you follow the dopes, we'll see you at the club. If you follow us, we'll see you at some place after the dance. At any rate, get your linen suit out of the moths, even though they are a family of six starving children, or wear the moths and leave the suit home. But be sure and dress up in style, because this is going to be a stylish affair. Clothes make the man, remember, but that only holds for girls. The editor told us to dress this story up and this is the best we could do, being only a cub on this staff. If it doesn't "suit" you, "tie" up your complaint and "shoo it into the desk." Ye editor will probably Law Club Concludes Moot Appeal Trials The St. Thomas More Law club will present the final case in the of moot trails on appeal, Tuesday at 1:30 p. m. in the law library, according to Lawrence F. Babst, president. The series was begun early in the first semester and has been participated in by every member of the law club. Attorneys who will argue the case Tuesday are Nolan Moosa and Robert DeJean, counsel for the Mlaintiff and appellant; and Roger ■Vincent and Michael Early, counsel for the defendant and ap- Bellee. Other participants in the pevent are John Blasi, chief justice; Joseph Casey and Arthur Babin, associate justices; and A. P. Schiro and Clarence Aycock, parties. The point of law to be contested concerns a question in sales. The agreed statement of facts is as follows: Smith agreed to sell a lot of flour to Jones, but the latter refused the flour upon delivery. Smith then resold without notifying Jones. Smith sues Jones for breach of contract, but Jones defends on the ground that notice to him was necessary before a valid resale could be made. Judgment was given to defendant and plaintiff appeals. Trade Policy Debate Slated By Commerce A free versus a restricted trade policy will be the subject for a no-decision debate between members of the Commerce,, club this Wednesday at 4 p. m. in Marquette auditorium, it was announced by George H. Seferovich, president, following the regular meeting April 15. A. J. O'Donnell and Charles Verderame will uphold the restricted trade policy against John Screen and Wilfred Leßlanc. The debate will take the place of the regular weekly program, Seferovich said. ■*" At the regular meeting this past week, Robert F. Morrow delivered an explanatory talk on "The Administration of the Banking Act of 1935." Fernand G. Prat, Jr., reviewed current economic literature and Clark Cosse conducted the open forum on current economic questions. The thesis reports by senior commerce members of the club have been concluded. Five were given in all. Philosophy Forum To Meet Ursuline On Monday Night Ursuline Represented By McCloskey And Kepper June Kepper and Dorothy Mc- Closkey, Ursuline College students, will defend the scholastic viewpoint of the thesis "Man has a right to private property", in the third of a series of four public discussions between students of Ursuline and members of the Aristotelian Forum, Monday evening at 8 o'clock in the Ursuline College auditorium. Opposing the scholastic view will be Robert A. Pascal and James T. Nix, Jr., juniors in the college of arts and sciences. The discussions are under the supervision of the Rev. Martin Burke, S. J., head of the department of philosophy at Loyola uni" versity and Ursuline college, and moderator of the Aristotelian Forum. The public is invited to attend all discussions between the two institutions. Misses Kepper and McCloskey will attempt to prove that every man has the right to acquire and possess private property, while Pascal and Nix, advancing arguments for socialism, will attempt to show that man has no such right. "The purpose of these discussions," stated John McCann, president of the Forum, "is to bring out more forcefully the scholastic view. It is to be understood that those upholding the view opposed to Scholasticism are taking the position of devil's advocates. It does not mean that they believe in the contentions that they adhere to during the discussion." The final discussion between the two schools will take place next Monday, in which the double allegiance to Church and State will be argued. Stephen B. Rodi and George Seferovich will represent the Forum in the discussion. Mc- Cann will act as chairman for both encounters. Blue Key To Hold Special Meet At 1 z There will be a special meeting of the local chapter of Blue Key, national honorary service fraternity, tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock in the students' publications office, according to an announcement by C. Paul Barker, president. All members of the organization are expected to be present at this session. Hughes Enters Hall of Fame of Buck- Tossers, Heaving 364 Feet "Pel" Hughes, Loyola junior and a member of the football squad for the past two seasons, joined the ranks of George Washington, Walter Johnson, and other famous "buck-tossers" when he heaved a silver dollar from the home plate of Heinemann Park 364 feet into the outfield last week. The event, sponsored by Prieur Leary, prominent Loyola alumnus and a member of the "Kop the Kup" committee, was held as a ,'pecial feature of one of the preseason baseball games. The contestants, Hughes, Ray Staub also of Loyola, and "Oyster Joe Martina, former Pelican player, were each given three dollars and told to "fire away." "PC4" threw one dollar which was a -."shoo-Bhoo" heave. On his second tosg, the dollar landed in the soft earth exactly 364 feet out from the home plate. Ray Staub heaved next but his coin was* buried in the soft mud, as was that of "Oyster Joe" who followed Staub. "The funny part about these tosses," Hughes modestly stated, "is that both went at least 10 feet further than mine. However, they were lost when they buried themselves in the soft gfound." So "Pel" is the champ. There was no prize for this feat, but Hughes did get something out of it. "Staub and I each got a free shoeshine from Leary," says James Wellington, "Ijecause the ground was soft and muddy. Poor guy! he lost out all around." Jury Fails To Agree In Last Moot Trial After deliberating for more than a half hour the jury failed to reach a verdict in the last moot trial held by the law club seniors and the case ended in a mistrial. The trial was conducted Saturday, April 4, in Division "E" of the Civil District Court. *, Students who participated in the event were J. Stanley Wagner and Lawrence Babst, senior day, counsel for the plaintiff; Charles senior night, and Charles Cabibi, senior day, counsel for the first defendant: and Sidney Schoenberger and Robert Sarpy, senior day, counsel for the second defendant. Other members who took part as witnesses and parties were John Walker, J. McKay, Miss Lyria Dickason, Paul Barker and Leon Jarreau. Joseph Bowab, prominent local attorney, and graduate of the Loyola school of law, acted as judge. Participants in the final trial to be held during May will be announced in a few days, according to M. C. Scharff, director of the trials-. College Slates Recital Series The complete schedule of senior and junior recitals of the Loyola college of music was announced Wednesday by Miss Mary M. Scott, director of the recitals. Mrs. Azelie H. Ziegler, soprano, will be presented in her senior reeital on April 22.

Family traditions are a big part of the holidays for many families. But are they really that important, especially when many children sometimes resist them? Absolutely!
Traditions are rituals that build strong connections between family members and shape a collective sense of identity. Whether serving Thanksgiving to the homeless, putting up holiday decorations, or sharing New Year's Resolutions as a family, traditions create feelings of warmth and closeness for family members. In our fast paced and ever-changing world, things that we "always do" help kids feel safe and secure by providing experiences that are familiar and predictable.
Around the holidays, traditions take on even more meaning, as many families use them to teach values, pass on religious heritage, reinforce cultural celebrations and boost the sense of connectedness between generations. And if your children give you a hard time about a special ritual, ask them to help create some new ones. The more involved children are, the more meaningful the traditions may become.
Attachment-Based Therapeutic Parenting for Your Adopted/Foster ChildAdopted and foster children often need a different kind of parenting. Come learn specific ideas and techniques to help bring joy, fun, and laughter back home to your family. These techniques are based on the latest information about attachment and trauma. |

Born Kristin Landen Davis on Feb. 24, 1965, she spent her infancy in Colorado, where her parents divorced shortly after her birth. Her mother remarried soon afterwards and she was adopted by her stepfather, a psychology professor who brought his new family to South Carolina, where he served as provost and taught at the University of South Carolina. Her interest in acting was sparked by frequent trips to New York City, where her family took her to see Broadway shows. At age 10, she became involved in community theatre, earning her first stage credit in a production of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves." After graduating high school in 1983, Davis relocated to New Jersey, where she earned her BFA in Theater from Rutgers University in 1987. Like so many acting hopefuls before her, she moved to Manhattan in hopes of earning her big break, spending several years working at various jobs while logging experience in various theatre productions. Her first movie role arrived in 1987, with a supporting part in the low-budget horror film "Doom Asylum."
Davis' perseverance paid off in the early 1990s, with a small recurring role on the venerable daytime soap "General Hospital" (ABC, 1963- ). She soon graduated to primetime with guest shots on "The Larry Sanders Show" (HBO, 1992-98), "ER" (NBC, 1994- ) and in the TV movie "Alien Nation: Body and Soul" (1995), which required her to don a very un-Charlotte-like spotted bald cap in her portrayal of an extraterrestrial. By 1995, she was tapped by the producers of "Melrose Place" for a recurring role as wealthy Brooke Armstrong Campbell, whose obsessive hold on Billy Campbell (Andrew Shue) put her at odds with her romantic and business rival, Alison Parker (Courtney Thorne-Smith). Davis' turn was so impressively evil that she was made a regular cast member for the 1995-96 season, but audiences eventually found Brooke so loathsome that she was slated for an untimely (if well-deserved) demise in the Melrose Place pool after discovering that her stepfather (Perry King) had married Alison.
Davis did not want for work, even long after the end of her "Melrose" stint; she was soon appearing in several TV movies and logging time on various series, most notably in two episodes of "Seinfeld" (NBC, 1989-1998) as Jenna, a potential girlfriend of Jerry's who becomes persona non grata after her toothbrush falls into a toilet, unbeknownst to her. When she uses the toothbrush, the germaphobic Jerry spends the whole episode trying to figure out how to dump her. "Seinfeld" creator Larry David was suitably impressed with her skills to later tap her for a role in his little-seen and roundly disliked feature comedy, "Sour Grapes" (1998).
In 1998, Davis was cast as Charlotte in "Melrose Place" creator Darren Star's comedy-drama "Sex and the City," based on the column and book by writer Candace Bushnell. The series - about the lives and loves of a New York writer and her three closest friends - quickly became appointment television for cable audiences (especially female and gay viewers) with its blend of risqué humor and genuinely affecting romance. At first blush, Davis' character seemed to be the least well-drawn of the four leads; a former homecoming queen and teen model, Charlotte was impossibly sunny but exuded a deeply conservative and old-fashioned attitude about sex and relationships that occasionally put her at odds with her more adventurous friends. Eventually, the writers mined some terrific comic moments by involving her in some outlandish romantic scenarios, including a man whom she believes to be gay and a shoe salesman (James Urbaniak) with a foot fetish who buys her expensive footwear.
By the show's third season, Charlotte appeared to find her much-desired "knight in shining armor" in the form of successful doctor Trey McDougal (Kyle MacLachlan), but the fairy tale veneer was peeled away by their struggles - including his impotency issues and their inability to conceive, which were among the show's most emotionally resonant and realistic storylines. Trey divorced Charlotte in the show's fifth season, and his replacement came in the unlikely form of bald, crude lawyer Harry Goldenblatt (Evan Handler). Initially repulsed by him, she slowly acquiesced to his advances by pursuing a purely sexual relationship with him. Goldenblatt's unwavering love and fidelity soon persuaded Charlotte that he was the man for her, and she embarked on the long and arduous route of converting to Judaism in order to marry him. Due to her inability to conceive, the couple adopted a daughter from China in the show's final season.
For her efforts, Davis shared two Screen Actors Guild Awards with her co-stars, but went away empty-handed at the Emmys and Golden Globes in 2004, which was surprising, given her heartfelt performances in the Trey and Goldenblatt storylines. If the losses affected Davis, she never showed it. Instead, she kept busy between seasons, assisting screen husband Rob Lowe in slowing an out-of-control train carrying a radioactive payload in the 1999 TV movie "Atomic Train," and playing singer John Denver's wife Annie in "Take Me Home: The John Denver Story" in 2000. Other TV features soon followed, but Davis' focus remained with "Sex" until its highly publicized and widely viewed finale in 2004.
After "Sex," Davis remained remarkably active on television and in film. She shot "Soccer Moms" (2005), a comedy pilot for ABC about suburban housewives who also solve crime, and logged time in the innocuous but popular kids' features "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D" (2005), in which she starred as the mother of the boy who creates the title superheroes, as well as a remake of "The Shaggy Dog" (2006) with Tim Allen in the title role. She later appeared with her "Sex" co-star Sarah Jessica Parker's real-life husband, Matthew Broderick, as his long-suffering wife in the limp holiday comedy, "Deck the Halls" (2006). On television, she was seen as the fictional love interest for baseball legend Honus Wagner (Matthew Modine) in TNT's "The Winning Season" (2004), and provided the voice of the caring Miss Spider in the Annie-nominated animated series "Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends" (Nickelodeon, 2004-06). She also appeared frequently as a commercial spokesperson for Maybelline cosmetics and Head and Shoulders shampoo.
None of this, however, could top the excitement generated by the announcement that Davis and her "Sex and the City" co-stars would reunite (after numerous delays) for the film version of the hit show in 2008. That same year, Davis' image - or rather, her image as Charlotte - took an unsavory hit after photos alleging to show her in sexually explicit acts were released on the Internet. Davis's swiftly denied her participation. Ironically, Davis, who played the commitment-obsessed Charlotte, was the only one of her three "Sex" co-stars to remain steadfastly single during and after the show's run. In prior years, however, she was linked to such high-profile suitors as Alec Baldwin, Jeff Goldblum and Steve Martin. In a rare move, Davis branched out from her post-"Sex" role selection of softer fare to play Jon Favreau's disillusioned wife in the raunchy Vince Vaughn comedy "Couples Retreat" (2009), which was successful at the box office but not so much with critics. Davis returned to surer ground in the global smash "Sex and the City 2" (2010), where she plumbed the continued growth of Charlotte, arguably the character who had traveled the greatest emotional distance throughout the years.

"The [character] breakdown said that she's very well educated, she has impeccable manners, she's wealthy, she has this lovely facade, but she has the heart of a shark. I thought, 'Cool.' That's fun when you have different layers to play. It's not fun - as far as I'm concerned - when you either have a victim, or a bad girl who's always bad. That's boring, if that's the only note you're given to play." - Davis on taking the role of Brooke on "Melrose Place" (Fox), quoted in the Daily News, Feb. 5, 1996 |

A look at the president right now as he's hammering his plans for the economy today governor Romney hammering hitters in these new and it's.
-- my plan is to help the middle class.
Trade has to work for America that -- crack down on cheaters like China can -- to open up new markets.
He's got to cut the toughest you've got to stop spending more money that we take again.
But as both candidates focus on what they're planning to do business roundtable president -- and -- some fixes starting right now.
A governor what would you like to see whoever wins do.
-- I think we need to get back to growth in this country that's certainly been the missing element these last few years we're just.
Growing way too slow to percent of GDP.
Vs 4% the big difference and that means job creation that means economic activity makes that deficit problem major there specific things to do.
Duke University just ask along with a group of CFOs.
Nationwide survey and they said they QE3 isn't gonna do -- we need growth we need economic activity -- sales.
We need certainty we need policies stability in Washington predictability.
We would add tax reform has to be in there we've got the highest corporate tax rates the world today Sweden of all places just announce they're cutting.
Their corporate tax rate to 22%.
After -- get the 26.
Why we have France and raising the top rate to 75%.
So they're not all parts in the same -- I guess.
The difference between both candidates right now as Barack Obama is saying pretty much what it did in -- -- give you more it is because I think the trend is my friend.
The government initiatives infrastructure investors wanted to -- it is paying off Mitt Romney says does the opposite I'm gonna cut your taxes.
That's the best way it is -- boom and off we go -- does the roundtable have any.
Any position on us.
Well we don't you know we don't endorse candidates we don't even do evaluations that congressional voting records.
But I'll -- what we do do is we do talk about what it takes get America moving again and we don't think that now forty.
Five months or so it.
Percent plus unemployment trillion dollar deficits.
That's the way to do it it would never reelected to -- -- kind of numbers so.
The debate is going to be very -- -- you.
I guess -- governor did did did this president's calling as well as the years and particularly in battleground states -- is yours.
Despite all -- Well you know yes but you look at those Carter Reagan numbers and -- You know I I just think it's early I think.
It is still fifty days.
And despite the polls I think the American people understand they get to make the decision ultimately they get to cast ballots said.
They've never voted.
In the election and reelected somebody's -- -- numbers so the president's got a challenge but governor Romney's got -- he's got to say this is what I'm gonna do that's different -- The ad you showed is helpful but.
The debates are really gonna flesh this out -- have to do well.
Now a lot of your business guys are very good at marketing.
And they say that Mitt Romney is not marketed himself well or presented the right image now in this latest ad campaign well he -- to -- is a little late.
What do you say.
Well I don't think it's late night -- I won three elections of Michigan but the first one back in 1990 along time ago.
The polls said on the weekend before the election we're gonna lose 54 to forty.
The a lot of these -- don't know who's gonna vote and I certainly don't think they're capturing the economic.
The disc comfort that so many families it's touched every -- -- America everybody's got up.
A family member everybody knows somebody has been hurt in this economy.
The wealth of America's -- somebody like 40%.
In the last few years.
We've got the lowest participation in the labor job market that's why the unemployment rate is -- only just a little bit above 8% so we've got work to do.
At the round -- we've laid out an agenda what we call CEO plan for jobs and economic growth we got a hundred CEOs cutting of the town this week.
And once again we're gonna say.
You know you gotta stop gobbling get to work we're even gonna leave the Russian trade agreement -- done.
When that's just a little step that would be helpful we can't seem to get anything moving in this town and that's a question of leadership.
Who watched closely governor thanks very much could see you're very welcome and thank you look 2 1000000 I -- --

Advisory Committees, Pu-238 production restart
Its astronomy advisory committee meeting time in DC. The Astrophysics Subcommittee of the NASA Advisory Council held its meeting on Oct. 8-9. And the Congressionally Chartered AAAC held its meeting last week (Oct. 15-16). You can see presentations from the AAAC meeting here.
It was interesting to see the process of how federal agencies like NASA, NSF, and DOE get advice from the community. Everyone is waiting with bated breath for the Astro2010 Decadal Survey before making too many new plans for Astrophysics. In addition to various mission updates (Fermi is performing fabulously! so is Kepler), there was an interesting discussion about whether to start a new line of named postdoctoral fellowships (like Hubble, Einstein, Sagan) for technology/instrumentation. Its also clear that inter-agency cooperation (NASA, NSF, DOE) will be the way of the future. There was even talk of whether this would be the last US decadal survey because it would be a global effort from next time. We'll have to wait and see on that one.
On a policy matter – Congress just passed the FY10 Energy and Water Appropriations bill and sent it to the Prez for his signature. Why do we care? Because this provides funding for DOE and DOE needs to re-start the production of Pu-238 in order to produce RTGs (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators) to explore the solar system. It made it into the Administration's budget request this year – but Congress zeroed out the request saying they want more details. So we'll have to make sure it gets funded next year! (If you are interested in this issue, see the NRC report.)

Adesemowo, A. Kayode; Tucker, William D. (Telkom, 2003)[more][less]
Abstract: As mobile devices and networks become more data-centric, text messaging requires an extension of co-presence capabilities for better interactive discussion between input/output handicapped handheld users and their free form desktop counterparts. Given some degree of co-presence (online presence and awareness) in text-based Instant Messaging, we hope to increase this co-presence on a handheld with fast-track feedback (FF) mechanisms. These are user-defined gestures, such as emoticons, and prioritised messages. We are building a system that facilitates gesture input within an interactive text-based chat over a wireless network running Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The chat bridges a robust desktop environment and a small number of handhelds. This work in progress looks into the SIP Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions as a platform to provide fast-track interactive and co-presence feedback. The aim is to rubberise a hitherto plastic and limited instant messaging conversation. We shall measure co-presence levels between FF and standard IM environments in and without desktop and handhelds by engaging two groups of users in chats session. We expect to demonstrate that there exists high co-presence notion in open (work by Sun Research Awarenex Group and AT&T Hubbubme in similar domain were in closed systems) FF text messaging open environment as we would like to show that this higher presence brings a much more enhanced interactive discourse. The envisaged results are intended to extrapolate to online aware co-presence in the up and coming smart phones on 3G packet networks. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/539 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: A text only Instant Messaging (IM) built on the IETF open standard SIP/SIMPLE has been developed in line with our proposed introduction of a user-defined text Hotkey feature. These act as an on-click Affective Gesture (AG): in similitude to Face-to-Face (F2F) expressive gesture-like abilities. Given that text communication possesses expressive discourse with some presence level, we seek to show that one-click text-gesture fast-tracking enhances text communication further. For this study, we are taking a hybrid quantitative and qualitative approach. Initial Pre-trial results have shown that an AG approach is more likely to improve IM chat spontaneity/response rate. Further experimental trials are being undertaken. Mobile devices and networks are becoming more data-centric (evident in Japanese I-mode) even as mobile network voice Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) are declining, new stream of data services are required which must take cognisance of handhelds features albeit their small screen estate and input/output limitation. Given that IM is entrenched in the social space, especially among teenagers and gaining wide adoption in the business place, we believe extensions are required for IM steep uptake in the mobile world, much as SMS has gained prominence. Enhanced input mechanisms for handheld IM system are expected to increase co-presence between handheld users and their desktop-based counterparts while in a synchronous discussion.

Adesemowo, A. Kayode; Tucker, William D. (SAICSIT in association with ACM, 2005)[more][less]
Abstract: Text communication can be perceived as lacking in chat spontaneity, or plastic, due to medium limitations during interaction. A form of text messaging, Instant Messaging (IM), is now on the uptake, even on mobile handhelds. This paper presents results of using affective gesture to rubberise IM chat in order to improve synchronous communication spontaneity. The experimental design makes use of a text-only IM tool, running on handhelds, built with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the SIP Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE). The tool was developed with a novel user-defined hotkey – a one-click context menu that fast-tracks the creation and transmission of text-gestures and emoticons. A hybrid quantitative and qualitative approach was taken in order to enable data triangulation. Data collected from user trials affirms that the affective gesture hotkey facility improves chat responsiveness, thus enhancing chat spontaneity.

RV park tenants help needy families for holidays
The tenants at Villa Alameda RV Park were able to provide a merry Christmas to three underprivileged families this holiday season.
The 300 tenants pulled together to raise about $1,200 which was spent to buy baby supplies, toys for the children and gifts for the parents. The tenants also provided each family with food, including 20-pound turkeys so they would have plenty to eat during the holidays.
"Every year at Villa Alameda we take up collections from the residents to purchase gifts for the needy families we adopt at Christmas," said Tom Bennett, an activity director for the RV park.
"This year we have adopted three families. We purchase items the families need and actual presents that the children have asked for. We also collected enough money to buy clothes for the parents. Just about everybody in the park has put up money."
The tenants were greatly moved by the experience, Bennett said.
"When we brought this out to the families, there wasn't a dry eye among the people that went out there. The feeling that it gives us to be able to do something for somebody, it is just overwhelming. It brings tears to my eyes, and I am 65 years old. It makes me feel good that we have made a Christmas for a family and given them food to last a while."
The tenants of the park also collected teddy bears, which were donated to the Yuma Police Department to be given to the children of those who have contact with the police.
"This is usually a reassurance that the police are not a bad factor to be afraid of," Bennett said.
"Last year we gave the police department 160 bears, and this year we have over 200 to give them."
The tenants also donated $200 to Amberly's Place.

A series of errors by pilots and a failure to react effectively to technical problems led to the crash of Air France Flight 447, France's Bureau of Investigation and Analysis said Thursday in its final report on the disaster.
The Brazil-to-France flight plunged into the Atlantic Ocean on June 1, 2009, killing all 228 people on board.
The report details how the pilots failed to respond effectively to problems with the plane's speed sensors or to correct its trajectory when things first started to go wrong.
When ice crystals blocked the plane's pitot tubes, which are part of a system used to determine air speed, the autopilot disconnected and the pilots did not know how to react to what was happening, the report said.
"The occurrence of the failure in the context of flight in cruise completely surprised the crew of flight AF 447," the report said.
The crew responded by over-handling the aircraft, which destabilized its flight path and caused further confusing readings, the report said.
"In the first minute after the autopilot disconnection, the failure of the attempt to understand the situation and the disruption of crew cooperation had a multiplying effect, inducing total loss of cognitive control of the situation."
The Airbus A330 went into a sustained stall, signaled by a warning message and strong buffeting of the aircraft, the report said.
"Despite these persistent symptoms, the crew never understood they were in a stall situation and therefore never undertook any recovery maneuvers."
The pilots responded to the situation by pointing the nose upward, rather than downward, to recover.
The report makes 25 new safety recommendations, on top of a number made in an initial report last year.
Some of the recommendations have already been implemented, but it could take years for others fully to come into effect, chief investigator Alain Bouillard told reporters as he introduced the report.
The international aeronautic community will likely focus on the crew's loss of awareness of what was going on, Bouillard said.
The use of automatic systems on planes has improved safety overall, he explained, but "when it comes down to it, safety will always be based on the capacity of the pilots and the signals which they are given, which they have to understand and react to."
It was an "exceptional" inquiry because of the scale of the disaster, the number of countries involved and the difficulty of locating the plane's data recorders, he said. The intense media coverage of the crash added to the pressure, Bouillard said.
It's a crash that never should have happened, said CNN's aviation specialist Richard Quest. The industry will be studying the human factors of the crew on the plane for many years to come.
The Bureau of Investigation and Analysis said its report does not examine the issue of responsibility for the crash, which is the subject of a separate judicial inquiry.
The icing-up of the pitot tubes was "a phenomenon that was known but misunderstood by the aviation community at the time of the accident," the report pointed out.
Pilots should be trained on how to handle this event and a high-altitude stall with better technical instruction and flight simulator programs, the report said.
Airplane ergonomics should also be improved, it said, "to provide guidance to crews to help them recognize and manage unusual situations."
International communications systems should also be reviewed to ensure swifter response and recovery efforts after accidents at sea, the report said.
It took four searches over the course of nearly two years to locate the bulk of Flight 447's wreckage and the majority of the bodies in a mountain range deep under the ocean.
The aircraft's voice recorder and flight data recorder were recovered from the ocean floor in May 2011 after an extensive search using miniature submersible vehicles.
The Bureau of Investigation and Analysis said the data indicated that Flight 447 crashed because the aircraft's speed sensors gave invalid readings.
Last year's report from the bureau said the airplane climbed to 38,000 feet when "the stall warning was triggered and the airplane stalled." It then descended, crashing into the Atlantic. The descent lasted three minutes and 30 seconds, and the engines remained operational, the report said.

ESP Furlers are designed for the daysailor and coastal cruiser looking for an easy-to assemble furler with an elegant design. Install a Harken ESP Furler and trim safely from the cockpit when it blows, and unfurl instead of motoring when it's light, for a great day of sailing.
Easy assembly and installation:
To make assembly easier, Harken offers top foils in five pre-cut lengths. No hacksaw required! An adjustable bottom foil fine-tunes the unit. Foils slip over most existing headstays without cutting the headstay, reducing setup time even more. Shackles at the tack and head attach the sail to the furler, with sail shape controlled by halyard tension. Marine eye and headstay wire pass through the foil so there is no need to cut the wire during installation.Durable materials and construction:
The drum is made from Hard Lube-anodized aluminum. The cover, flange, and guard are molded from glass reinforced polymers for high strength. Foils are clearcoat anodized for durability. The stainless steel sail feeder is strong and durable.Select Long or Short Leg Kit to adjust the drum height:
Choose the long leg extension kit when using a turnbuckle with swage, Norseman or Sta-Lok® terminals. Long legs raise the drum to clear the anchor, reduce sail chafe, and increase visibility. Removable clamp screws allow legs to pivot out of the way for easy access to the turnbuckle. Choose the short leg extension kit when the furler attaches directly to a marine eye at the bottom of the stay. Short legs allow the sail to be closer to the deck.Options:
An optional halyard deflector, installed above the foil, prevents the jib halyard and other halyards (such as a spinnaker or additional jib halyards) from wrapping around the foil when furling. Add a furling line (sold separately) and stanchion-mounted blocks to lead the line aft to your cockpit.
- Furling System: Unit 1
- Drum Material: Anodized aluminum
- Headstay Extrusion: Single-groove round foil
- Top Swivel: Anodized aluminum (fixed)
- Typical Boat Length: 26'-35'
- Headstay Length (Standard Max.): 49'11" (15.22m)/56'6" (17.22m)

- Clevis Pin Dia.: 7/16", 1/2" (11, 12.7mm)
- Additional Components Needed: Top Foil, Leg Kit, Furling Line required (sold separately)

A starter all four years at Northwest Missouri State, senior second baseman Hailee Hendricks was selected first team All-MIAA for the first time in her career Thursday.
She was the only first or second team selection for the Bearcats who finished eighth in the conference. Four others made honorable mention.
An honorable mention selection twice before, Hendricks hit .333 during the regular season with five home runs and a team-leading 35 RBIs. She's committed only one error on the season.
Senior pitcher Jenna Creger, senior outfielder Candace Miller, senior first baseman Rachael Schmitz and junior outfielder Jordan Ereth each made honorable mention.
This is Creger's third honorable mention selection and the first for Miller, Schmitz and Ereth.
Northwest's No. 1 pitcher all four years of her career, Creger is 13-9 as a senior with a 1.92 ERA that ranks fourth in the MIAA. She set the school's all-time strikeout record last year.
Miller, a transfer from Oklahoma Panhandle, leads Northwest with a .370 average.
A starter at shortstop each of her first three years, Schmitz is hitting .252 with four home runs and 21 RBIs.
Ereth, the team's lead-off hitter, carries a .327 average and has stolen a team-high 11 bases.
The Bearcats take on top-seeded Central Oklahoma in the first round of the MIAA Tournament today at 2 p.m.

Mathematics was also developed by old dead white men.....so they disregard it also.
Correction, please: Obama was never a "constitutional law professor". He was a poorly-ranked (by his students)"lecturer" --- and never taught Constitutional law. He did teach three other courses on racism, voting rights, and due process. Our Liar-in-Chief cannot seem to tell the truth about anything.
Well said! Way past time to call Obama and his acolytes what they are: Communists!
Actually, the Soviet Constitution said a lot of wonderful things. But it was understood that one would not try to enforce it.
Would you like some Transparency... ?Obviously...Obie WON Kenya-obie is just...a Wannabe Kommunist Dicktater.We are the pawns in his sick game/s.Know what´s "Unsustainable"... ?His wild bankrupt spending spree.Transparency.Unsustainable.Orgasm words for The DimWitz amongst us.As Ann Coulter said of BillyBoob Klintoon...He leaves a mark on our nation that cannot be removed. It´s a stain.
The truth will out. Most of O´s advisors are professed communists ,so no surprise in the GOP´s statment.
Ol´ Jugears was not a "constitutional professor" but an instructor for one class about one or two sentences in the 14th Amendment.He has no law license as it was revoked in 2008, while he was a candidate, for lying on the application.He doesn´t know the definition of "alias" apparently.
Obama knows by instinct the Alinsky Rules for Radicals, all twelve of them.
NOT a professor of anything and so poorly schooled he doesn´t know how to pronounce Corpsman. So poorly raised as an American, he actually didn´t know how many states are in the United States of America. Finally, his father was NEVER an American citizen, so his entire Presidency is illegal, sanctioned by an incompetent, corrupt congress and Supreme Court.

From what I know many installers do, but it's only a very small convenience, so IMO not worth the effort required to fix. (Not that I know anything about windows dev.) I'd go along with ditching the checkbox also.
