Open Education reconsidered
What a great article in Sunday's New York Times about East Mooresville Intermediate School.
A bunch of quotes from the article that stood out to me. First, about the program's success:
Overwhelmed by requests to view the programs in action, the district now herds visitors into groups of 60 for monthly demonstrations; the waiting list stretches to April.
Impressive. And:
Mooresville ranks 100th out of 115 districts in North Carolina in terms of dollars spent per student — $7,415.89 a year — but it is now third in test scores and second in graduation rates.
How are they doing it? Every kid gets a laptop. (One Laptop Per Child, one might even say.) And how are those laptops being used?
The difference, teachers and administrators here said, is that they value computers not for the newest content they can deliver, but for how they tap into the oldest of student emotions — curiosity, boredom, embarrassment, angst — and help educators deliver what only people can.
With a curious new method:
Many classrooms have moved from lecture to lattice, where students collaborate in small groups with the teacher swooping in for consultation.
That looks a lot like methods familiar to old hands from the open source world:
Ms. Higgins had the more outgoing students make presentations on the Declaration of Independence, while shy ones discussed it in an online chat room, which she monitored. "I'm not a very social person, but I have no problem typing on a keyboard," said one of those shy ones, Chase Wilson. "It connected me with other students — opened me up and helped me with talking in public."
And finally, a great quote epitomizing the nature of the success.
"This is not about the technology," Mark Edwards, superintendent of Mooresville Graded School District, would tell the visitors later over lunch. "It's not about the box. It's about changing the culture of instruction."
Reminds me of someone who once said: "it's not a laptop project; it's an education project." Hmm.
Once upon a time, I believed that open source software was the key to improving education.
Then I believed that open source content was the key to improving education.
I now believe that open source practice is the key to improving education — which is the hardest and most important change of all. Thanks to Mooresville for showing us how that might be done.
Insert your favorite "Wrath of Khan" joke blog title here
For any agent of change, there's no measurement of success so sure as the steady accumulation of vocal critics — and Sal Khan is finding all kinds of critics as he continues to press forward.
What's most notable is that he's finding many of his most vocal critics among professional educators who are eager to point out that he's Doing It Wrong, and that their own methods are clearly superior.
They're absolutely right, too — but they are right about points that no reasonable person disputes.
Of course a motivated, talented teacher with a strong pedagogical background, years of experience, and an excellent relationship with his or her students is going to provide a superior learning experience to a website on the internet.
But here's the thing, Highly Effective Teacher: not every kid has access to the Wonder That Is You. Right? So what can we offer to those kids?
Something is always better than Nothing, and there are still way too many kids in this world (and adults, for that matter) who are closer to that Nothing side of the continuum. Khan Academy, and the projects that came before it like One Laptop Per Child and Sugar Labs, and the many projects that will surely come after, are all trying to solve that Nothing problem. Why are so many teachers threatened by that?
Working with ISKME and OER Commons over the past year has been eye-opening for me, in a lot of ways. Full of a-ha moments. One of the critical a-ha moments: doing reverse DNS lookups for server logs for OER Commons, and seeing how many of those hits come from India and Pakistan, where the Nothing problem is acute. And many of those users who search for open educational resources, and find them at our site, describe themselves in their online profiles as Learners.
Learners exist outside of the classroom. All over the world. And those learners are finding the internet, and searching it desperately for knowledge that can improve their lives. Sal Khan is trying to serve their needs, and near as I can tell, he's doing a better job in his particular problem space than anyone before him ever has. Of course he's not doing it exactly right. He's making mistakes, just like every innovator does. That's how it works.
So you mind your students, Highly Effective Teachers of the world, and let Sal mind his.

In the warmth of the offices of the Forum for Contemporary Art, architect Brad Cloepfil looks a little bored as a woman in those fashionable pinched-eye glasses and a black leather suitcoat is going on about lighting designs: Does this fixture taper or not? Cloepfil has flown from his Portland, Ore., offices to observe work on a test wall for the new Forum building he's designed. Down the street at the construction site, located next door to Tadao Ando's Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts and near Richard Serra's sculpture "Joe," workers bundled in overalls and hooded jackets are trying to jerry-rig a steel scrim to a concrete wall, to see whether this facet of Cloepfil's design agrees with the material world. But plans for sandblasting the concrete, a crucial element of the building's design, have been delayed because of the wicked cold front blowing through. A little anxious about plans deferred, Cloepfil's more than willing to leave the discussion of tapered and untapered fixtures to talk about his building.
His bulky copper sweater covers a stocky physique. Cloepfil looks as if he could handle himself out on the construction site, but presumably he's just fine with the architect's setting of a warm room to work in on a cold day. Cloepfil last spoke with the RFT in January, when his plans for the new Forum building were first being presented to the public. Concept is nearing material form, the sketches made by pencil on paper enacting cranes and shovels and the people who run them. With groundbreaking scheduled for April, Cloepfil displays the enthusiasm he felt when the preliminary models were shown nearly a year ago. "It's so exciting," confides the youthful redhead. "I'm totally excited."
A year ago, he talked about the gallery spaces of the new Forum as open fields of spatial experience, the building acting as a conduit between earth and sky, between interior galleries and exterior urban landscape.
Today, though, there's the hard reality of walls. In the office, a square of concrete rests on a shelf -- it's a sample of what he hopes the Forum walls will look like. The square is cream-colored, almost white, with flecks of stone barely appearing on the surface. It has the elegance of limestone. "Close up, it looks quite stonelike," Cloepfil agrees. "I like the ambiguity of that. All it's doing is taking the concrete off the surface and exposing the sand and gravel that's in it. It makes a very warm color. We had that up (the sample) last time we were here, against the Ando building. The Ando is quite gray, and this is quite cream -- it's all local sand, river sand."
Cloepfil's design is deceptively simple, two ribbons of structure, one upper, one lower level. The 150-foot concrete ribbon -- a long, curved wall -- needs to contrast with the big concrete form of the Ando next door, and to do that means "rendering the concrete." Cloepfil wants the Forum wall to contrast the Ando by appearing "very abstract, an ambiguity of what's what. Is that steel? Is that concrete? It's about that world where you aren't sure what's making that enclosure.
"There's no illusion to it. It's not about illusion, but it has that tension. It's a veiled perception at the same time, too."
But to make that idea manifest means utilizing the craftsmanship of those guys in the overalls and hooded jackets. It also means knowing a thing or two about concrete. Cloepfil explains that, in sandblasting, "You use the same size of sand, or matrix, that you blast to remove its equal. So if you use really fine sand, it removes the fine sand. If you use medium rock, it removes medium rock. So it's this kind of wonderful inverse. So we're experimenting with different sands to see just how far down you go, and what do you leave, how big a rock do you leave."
This makes for a very painterly process, for which the word "sandblast" doesn't seem appropriate. For Cloepfil, now responsible for transforming an elegant computer model into elegant stone, it is also "a little bit terrifying, because there is a hand in it now. It's not pure modernist production. It has a hand to it, and I've never actually done this before. And over these huge surfaces -- we are rendering the concrete; there's no way around it. But I don't want you to be able to see the render. I just want you to be able to not see -- I want the absence, not the presence."
He shakes his head. "It's tricky, tricky, tricky, because once you get into handwork, if someone pauses for two seconds ..."
Cloepfil is pleased with the invitation to talk about changes that have been made from the original design, rather than fixing on the conundrum of sandblasting. "There's only the lower wall, the upper wall and the ceiling," Cloepfil explains, getting down to the basics. "There's only three elements of spatial enclosure. The ceilings initially were wood beams, and now we've abstracted them, partly because of cost. When we investigated, however, the solution was so much better. The ceilings are now just plaster planes hovering and shifting."

Thank You Berry MuchFebruary 3rd, 2009 | posted by Mitch Cahn
A "Buy American" proposal attached to the house federal stimulus bill has resulted in a predictable uproar from Republicans and their patrons, captains of industry with vested interests in globalization. The two main arguments against the amendment negate each other:
1. Our trading partners (read: China) will respond to domestic preference policies with their own protectionism, shutting out US exports.
2. Domestic pricing is not competitive with imports (read: China) and this policy will cost taxpayers dearly in these lean times.
Countries like China already have protectionism: permitting forced labor, child labor, and human rights violations in the workplace enables its manufacturers to be global low cost producers in labor intensive industries. That's why US manufacturers can't even win bids in our own country without government interference. And if we can't win on our own turf, our trading partners don't have to bother with legislating protectionism.
This Buy American Amendment is simply an extension of the Berry Amendment, which requires the US military to give procurement preference to domestic suppliers. It's a 75 year old law which has evolved through several wars, depressions, recessions, and expansions, and now, in practice, resembles the mechanisms proposed by anti sweatshop labor activists.
All contractor addresses are listed and complaints about contractors are thoroughly investigated. Here's the catch, and here's why it works: the complaints do not come from abused workers, but from losing bidders who insist that the winning bidder could not be manufacturing domestically under US labor laws. The burden of proof is on the losing bidder. This system has evolved to be self policing in this way.
The Berry Amendment has exceptions for a long list of "qualifying countries", all of which happen to have high labor standards. It's a safe bet for us, because of all the countries which protect human rights in the workplace, the USA has become the low labor cost producer in many industries. Oh yes I did just say that--it's true. Canada just winked at us in their rear view mirror. But if this mechanism is codified to encourage human rights in the workplace, the Berry Amendment would be a human rights law, not a protectionist law.
After 75 years of amendments weakening the Berry Amendment, last year the government expanded the Berry Amendment outside the military--to Homeland Security. This proposal expands it even further, to the Transportation Safety Administration. If new legislation like minimum wage increases and the Employee Free Choice Act pass, then extending the Berry Amendment throughout the Federal Government and encouraging states to adopt it will be the fastest way to prevent our government from facilitating further human rights abuses.

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt stars alongside her mom Angelina in this year's Disney epic Maleficent. It's little Jolie-Pitt's first on-screen role, and at 4 years old she's beating both her parents into the acting business by a good while. (Angelina landed a small part in a movie with her father, Jon Voight, when she was 7; Brad Pitt didn't get started until in his early 20s.) Viv plays the Princess Aurora as a child, before Elle Fanning takes over as the heroine in her teens. Vivienne's siblings Pax and Zahara also make cameo appearances in one scene, so look out for them.
In interviews, Angelina explained that all the other child actors tested were too scared of her in her angular Maleficent makeup, and that, "it had to be a child that really liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv." And this just goes to show they don't make child stars like the Olsen twins anymore, because you know they'd have been consummate professionals even if Angie went full-villain in their audition.

A Conversation with Viktor Yushchenko
Watch Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko discuss Kiev's relations with Russia, Europe, and the United States at a CFR meeting.
Speaker: Viktor Yushchenko, President of Ukraine
Presider: Chrystia Freeland, U.S. Managing Editor, Financial Times
September 23, 2008
When Russia engaged in open conflict with Georgia over the breakaway territories South Ossetia and Abkhazia, some analysts saw it as Moscow asserting regional dominance and wondered whether conflict might follow in Ukraine. Ukraine's government remains fractious, with sizeable pro-Russian elements led by former president and current opposition leader Viktor Yanukovich. Ukraine's President Viktor Yushchenko discussed his country's political system and the threat of increased pressure from Moscow at this CFR meeting. Yushchenko said the moment is ripe for bolstering Ukraine's democracy and improving its security by taking steps toward NATO accession--particularly given the recent split between Yushchenko's party and that of Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko, which resulted in the dissolution of the Ukrainian government. Yushchenko also argued that NATO membership would help solve some of Ukraine's political problems.

text: As an Orientation Leader, Jordan Easley-Small loves spending time with incoming Marymount freshman. "I always tell them that this is a whole new experience. It's normal to be nervous. It's even good to be nervous because that means you're excited," Jordan said. This experience has inspired him to become a higher education counselor to help incoming students define a major. This is something that many students struggle with. Jordan even changed his major from Communications to Psychology. "You might not know what you want to study when you start, but you will find the things that catch your attention." Jordan believes this to be true both in and out of the classroom. "Marymount is a small, close-knit community. On a campus like this, you never feel alone and it's so easy to get involved. You arrive at Marymount as one person, and the experience stretches you to become someone with a wider breadth of knowledge in many different areas."

Eileen Lampert: It Took a Back Seat
Eileen Lampert initially was diligent about getting a mammogram, but as happens far too often, mammograms took a back seat to other things in life. She had just moved to Dayton from Florida to be with her daughters. After contending with hurricanes, her younger daughter's marriage, and the birth of a grandchild, it had been five years since Eileen had a mammogram.
After discovering a lump in her left breast, Eileen ignored it, thinking it was a blocked milk duct. But the lump began to grow. She went to see Dr. Stanley Jenkins of the Miami Valley Hospital (MVH) Cancer Center. A biopsy confirmed that Eileen had a malignant tumor that had been growing for two years.
Suddenly panic set in. Eileen's mother and sister both had been through breast cancer. Her mother's was not diagnosed for two years and she died soon after starting treatment. And now Eileen, still in her 50s, found herself in what appeared to be the same place.
Dr. Jenkins immediately referred Eileen to a team of cancer care specialists including a medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, and in particular, Amy McKenna, one of MVH's breast cancer navigators. In addition to helping MVH oncology patients plan their care and getting all the information needed to make decisions, Amy helps patients deal with the emotional aspects of cancer.
Eileen's father had died of lung cancer and his experience with chemotherapy had been horrible. Amy went over options, including new drugs with fewer side effects. After treatment, Eileen's tumor began shrinking and she had only felt sick twice.
After the tumor shrunk, Eileen had a double mastectomy. She credits Amy with her new attitude. Eileen has the support of daughters and a granddaughter living nearby.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
UPDATE: Thursday, April 26, 2012
As KAKE News aired a story regarding proposed changes to child labor laws, the Department of Labor issued a statement withdrawing those changes.
The Labor Departments said that safety issues are the reason for the changes. Farmers said it was another case of the government reaching where is didn't belong.
The proposed regulation changes by the Department of Labor could have prevented farmers from hiring some of their own family members from working on the farm.
The U.S. Department of Labor says, "The Obama administration is firmly committed to promoting family farmers and respecting the rural way of life, especially the role that parents and other family members play in passing those traditions down through the generations. The Obama administration is also deeply committed to listening and responding to what Americans across the country have to say about proposed rules and regulations…As a result, the Department of Labor is announcing today the withdrawal of the proposed rule dealing with children under the age of 16 who work in agricultural vocations."
Instead, the Labor Department and the Department of Agriculture plans to work with rural stakeholders to develop programs to reduce accidents and promote safe working practices for young workers.
Kansas Senator Jerry Moran says, ""For generations, the contributions of young people have helped family farm and ranch operations survive and prosper. If this proposal had gone into effect, not only would the shrinking rural workforce have been further reduced, and our nation's youth deprived of valuable career training opportunities, but a way of life would have begun to disappear. This is a tremendous victory for farmers and ranchers across the country."
Thursday, April 26, 2012
Kansas farm families are worried about some possible changes expected soon.
The Department of Labor is reviewing some work rules for kids – rules that farmers worry will have a negative impact on their way of life.
The Labor Departments says safety issues are the reason for the changes. Farmers say it's another case of the government reaching where is doesn't belong.
Some Kansas farmers are concerned the proposed regulation changes by the Department of Labor might prevent them from hiring some of their own family members from working out here on the farm.
Garden Plain farmer Mike Rausch says proposed new regulations to federal child labor laws will severely affect how he managed his operation.
"Since my kids are grown up and moved away, I rely on nephews to work for me in the summer, says Rausch.
One of those, he says, is a 17-year-old nephew who has worked on the dairy the past two summers. Proposed changes, while not applying to farmers' children, would treat extended family members like any non-related hired hands.
Rausch says, "He couldn't be in the barn milking cows, going out and getting cows to bring them into milk because he'd be in the catch pen with the cows."
The U.S. Department of Labor has come under criticism for not updating child labor laws in 40 years. The department cites child injury and fatality rates as four times higher on ag-operations than those outside agriculture.
The proposals are most likely to impact 14- and 15-year-olds who are not the children of the farm owner or operator, according to a Michigan State University study.
Kent Winters farms near Andale. Winter says he relies on his 14- and 16-year-old sons to help because their older siblings have moved on. He says some proposed changes could impact his kids.
Winter says, "Much of the farm equipment being used today would be off limits to children by the mere fact the tractor seat is more than six feet off the ground."
The Department of Labor is reviewing their proposed changes and is expected to issue their changes sometime this summer.

2000 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Pro: RTs Should Modify Equipment to Meet Patients' Needs
Robert S. Campbell, RRT FAARC University of Cincinnati Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio
My first job in Respiratory Care was as an "equipment tech", where my primary responsibility was to disassemble, clean, and reassemble equipment. The experience gained during that period of my career is irreplaceable and cannot be duplicated in today's healthcare environment. We have long ago entered into a "disposable" society and this mentality has permeated through our profession as a result.
Today, young respiratory care practitioners are entering the profession with a better understanding of physiology than ever before. As a whole, we better understand physiologic derangement's associated with the diseases our patient's possess. We now have more advanced technology, equipment, and techniques available to prevent and treat any physiologic derangement than ever-imagined twenty years ago. And I ask you, "What does that get us"? What's missing from this picture? I think it is common sense, imagination, and old-fashioned "know-how". As respiratory care practitioners, our value has always been the ability to make something out of nothing, or make something happen when others couldn't. The idea may not have been original to us, but when challenged by physicians or engineers, we provided new ways and applications to improve the care of our patients. Eventually, the ideas started coming from us and we became leaders as well as providers in the healthcare system. We knew how things worked, and combined with an intricate knowledge of clinical goals, created/modified equipment to reach those goals. Of course, this was also the beginning of the "litigation era" and there was fear of leaving the door open for lawyers or insurance companies to peek through. My impression is that many RCPs have become too "procedural" and need to think more globally and use their imagination. Of course, RCPs must be "allowed" to think and act this way. This is something that must be nurtured by physicians, administrators and manufacturers.
We should modify equipment to provide for and improve the care and outcomes of our patients, but we must do so very cautiously. Ideas and equipment must be tested and/or validated before applying them to critically ill patients. When necessary we must "ask for permission" from the appropriate authorities or at a minimum communicate and advise those who may be affected (families, agencies, manufacturers, etc.).

National Nurses Week begins on Monday, National Nurse's Day, and continues to May 12, Florence Nightingale's birthday and International Nurse Day. It is a time to raise awareness of the value of nursing and to celebrate the vital roles that the more than 3.1 million registered nurses in the United States play in health care.
This year's theme is "Delivering Quality & Innovation in Patient Care" and is a description of what nurses do every day for patients, wherever they practice. The stories and examples of what nurses do on a daily basis are told well in a new film released this April, "Nurses: If Florence Could See Us Now." I was moved and inspired as I heard nurses talk about what they do and how nurses can truly make a difference.
This Nurse's Week, I would like to extend my thanks and admiration to the amazing nurses I work with and have known throughout my career. Their dedication to patients and our profession continues to inspire me. Thank you.
Susan Riley, BSN, RN-BC

Queen Elizabeth Gets Golden Wii
Of course, there is one problem with your plan -- the Queen doesn't have a Nintendo Wii. So, now you'll have to get Her Majesty a royal console, but wandering down to Wal-Mart to pick up the same Wii that every other schmuck has just isn't going to cut it. What to do?
Well, clearly the answer is to have a Wii specially constructed and plated in gold (though we expect not real gold). Yes, games publisher THQ is indeed creating a special one for Queen Elizabeth. Now the 83-year-old monarch can take a break from her busy days of ribbon cuttings and celebrity appearances to take on Prince Charles and crew in Wii versions of games like golf, lawn darts, and bocce ball.
Buckingham Palace will be overrun with the Queen's grandchildren this summer, that's for sure. [From: Gizmodo]

For a soft-spoken programmer from Buffalo, Nate Fanaro gets a lot of hate mail.
Every day, his Twitter queue fills up with messages telling him to die or delete his account. I find you extremely annoying, one caller said in a voice mail. You make little girls cry. What's your problem? said another.
Fanaro is not a hacker. He doesn't take down websites or swipe credit card numbers. Rather, the 30-year-old prankster is the creator of the Twitter grammar bot CapsCop, an automated account that finds people who tweet in all caps and, within seconds, fires a snarky correction back at them: Give lowercase a chance, perhaps, or On Twitter, no one can hear you scream.
The technology behind such bots is simple, which helps explain why so many tech-savvy grammarians have launched their own. Programmers need only write a script to search Twitter's data and respond to certain phrases, and they're well on their way to Twitter infamy. Some accounts reply to users directly, while others retweet the offending messages.
Teachers, parents and other curmudgeons have long blamed texting and social media for the general decline of the English language. Considering the widespread disregard for grammar in certain corners of the Internet, they could b 4given for thinking that kids these days can't write. (Because while we're sometimes talking about outright mistakes, we're also talking about the grammar-agnostic spirit that has evolved online.)
Although Twitter may seem like a stronghold of sloppy writing and acronym-happy Internet slang, a number of vigilantes are hilariously and controversially fighting back.
Bots such as Fanaro's ping unsuspecting Twitter users with sarcastic corrections. Anonymous copy editors such as fiercek send gentle revisions to work tweeted by writers and reporters. One of the newest accounts, a wildly popular project by Buzzfeed reporter Andrew Kaczynski, seeks to publicly shame users who tweet things like speak English your in America omg. YourInAmerica tweeted back to that one I think you mean you're' in America. That's embarrassing.
Since its launch in late November, Kaczynski's account – which exclusively targets the phrase your in America – has attracted 18,000 followers and plenty of praise from media outlets such as Latina magazine, which lauded him for launching a grammar crusade against outraged nativists. But Kaczynski treats the attention like so much comment-box blather.
I didn't set out with a purpose or anything, he says. I'm not personally offended by it. It's just ... funny.
Funny is a fair description of Twitter grammar. Many of the platform's ungrammatical but widely used conventions – such as confused homophones (your the man) – are, indeed, laughable to readers schooled in what linguists call standard English.
But the vigilantes that froth over them can be hilarious, as well: YourorYoure, which dates back to April 2009, pings users with a simple Wrong! when they misuse every first-grader's most-hated contraction. Eric Mortensen, the bot's creator, says he made it after seeing a co-worker's rage at an email that confused the two.
Despite the online kerfuffle, most linguists agree that neither texting nor the Internet defile the English language. Linguist Tim Stowell says there is no evidence that any form of specialized speech has corrupted spoken or written English. In September, researchers at Coventry University in Britain ruled that there's no link between text-message conventions and bad spelling or grammar in other forums.

Important Qualities in an Elementary Teacher
Are you ready to make your dreams of becoming an elementary school teacher come true? If you're considering a possible teaching career, or are already enrolled in the Jones College Elementary Education bachelor's degree program, read about a few of the elementary teacher qualities we think you should possess!
1. An engaging personality
You'll spend every day as the leader of a group of students, ranging from a handful of children up to a couple dozen. Teachers possess strong personalities that hold attention through long school days. If you're to survive, you must be ready to joke, tell stories, play, listen and maybe even sing a few notes every once in a while. Introverted individuals may have a tough time with large, rambunctious groups.
2. Clear lesson objectives
You enjoy creating lesson plans, right? Well, whether you do or don't, you'll get used to them as an elementary teacher. Each day should feature a specific classroom goal – you can't walk in aimlessly and expect to teach the required materials effectively. Children need academic structure, even at an early age. Just make sure that the work is age-appropriate and is in line with your class's abilities. Speaking of academic abilities, make a habit of reviewing all material yourself before ever teaching it in your class. The only way you can truly help them learn is to know the subject matter yourself.
3. Class management skills
Classroom management, for the most part, is built upon one fundamental concept: mutual respect. As a teacher, you must respect the students both individually and as a group. The same goes for students – they owe you (and their classmates) that same respect, too. It's a two-way street, but part of your job in an elementary school will be finding the best ways to express your shared respect for one another.
4. Effective discipline strategies
Now, when students are disrespectful toward each other or you, as a teacher you must be ready to administer the appropriate disciplinary actions. The punishments should fit the level of misbehavior, with the intent being to reinforce positive future behavior. We know that you want to have fun in class, but it's important that you maintain control of the room and promote respectful conduct.
5. Strong communication with parents
A great elementary teacher will actively maintain communication with parents and guardians of their kids. Kids don't tell their parents everything (you remember, right?). And even if they do tell them everything, believe it or not, sometimes they may stretch or withhold the truth. That's where you come in – you can fill parents in regarding academics, misconduct or any other issues that may arise while at school. The more open and frequent the dialogue, the better.
6. High expectations
There's a reason you're becoming or have already become an elementary teacher – you're passionate about helping children progress in their development. That's why the best teachers approach each day in school with high expectations. They expect the best out of themselves and their students. Even though you may be the teacher, your kids will teach you just as much as you teach them. Embrace it!
What other elementary teacher qualities do you feel are most important? Let us know – we'd love to hear your opinion!

Seventh-ranked Princeton defeats No. 16 Binghamton men's lacrosse 10-2
Box score
PRINCETON, N.J.-- Junior attack Scott Sowanik scored three goals and added an assist, leading seventh-ranked Princeton (4-2) to a 10-2 win over No. 16 Binghamton (4-3) in a non-conference men's lacrosse game at the Class of 1952 Stadium. The game, which was played under blustery weather conditions, featured the highest-ranked team the Bearcats have played in their five-year history.
After Princeton went up 1-0 early in the game, freshman attack Chris Mulheron (Canandaigua, N.Y.) got the equalizer with 3:39 remaining in the first quarter. The assist was given to sophomore midfielder Stephen Smith (Canandaigua, N.Y.).
The second quarter belonged to Princeton's Sowanik. He scored the go-ahead goal with 6:39 left in the first half and added a second goal 4:23 later.
Sowanik was also instrumental in the third quarter, as Princeton bolted out to a 6-1. He assisted on Peter Trombino's goal to make it 4-1 with 7:27 remaining. After Tommy Davis scored with 4:47 left to go, Sowanik got the hat trick with 49 ticks left on the clock.
The floodgates opened in the fourth quarter, with the Tigers scoring four goals in a span of 4:02 to go up 10-1 with 9:11 left in the game. Binghamton finally got its second goal of the game with 20 seconds remaining, courtesy of a man-up goal from senior attack Scott Mitchell (Smithtown, N.Y.). This assist was credited to freshman midfielder Duncan Streeten (Corning, N.Y.).
Binghamton opens its America East Conference season at Hartford next Saturday at 1 p.m.
NOTE: The Bearcats' game with Princeton also marked the first time in the Binghamton Athletic Department's five-year history at the NCAA Division I level that two ranked teams squared off against each other.

11. I liked that you took on a film so many people love and picked it apart. You dared to deviate and it's really a bit more of a constructive (and funny) review for it. And it brought attention to the real guy.
10. Oh yes! This actually was one of my faves too because Animaniacs was such a huge favorite show of mine... I found it really fascinating.
9. This review made me want to go watch the original. I still haven't gotten around to it. I really, really should for Halloween.
8. I never saw North either, but your review on it did make me question just what that film was thinking. Why do films think they HAVE to be mean-spirited to be funny?
7. It was just so sad seeing such a brilliant film like Neverending Story have a terrible sequel, and then an even more terrible sequel. And you're right - it just got more and more bizarre with each sequel, and seeing that was fascinating.
6. Oh God, that film. I knew about the one animated Titanic film, but this review was the first I heard of this other one. Maybe that was for the best. But it was just so insanely bizarre it stops being frustrating and started being stupidly funny.
5. Oh. Yes. I LOVED the commercial specials, those were just so unique and awesome to see because they were very nostalgic, but still very different. I do hope you look at more of these types of things in the future because it was still really funny and cool.

How come folks do business with you? Because you're a family owned and operated company? Because you've been slogging along for 126 years? Because you have sterling customer service? Great prices and cool sales assistants? You may have all these things going for you, but it's probably not why your customers come to you. And it's not the stuff that's really going to persuade potential customers to do business with you.
There's something special about your business, and it isn't even completely defined by your Unique Value Proposition. You know what's special about you – trust me. It's just that you don't know you know it, or you don't think it's important enough. So it isn't something you communicate to your potential customers.
That's where the process of Uncovery rushes in to save the day.
No doubt you recall MAP, our methodology that guides you through developing the persuasive architecture of your Web site? Uncovery is the first phase in the process:
"Skillful uncovery is the first necessary step toward designing and developing effective persuasive architecture. Neglecting this phase would be the architectural equivalent of constructing a building but omitting the footers! Uncovery is responsible for mapping objectives, developing strategy, understanding the customer's buying process, understanding and refining the sales process, researching keywords and key phrases and defining the key business metrics you will use. If you don't get the uncovery part right, you won't be able to define or measure success."
Okay, so it's appears to be all the stuff that gets the ball rolling. But what does it mean?
The truth is, most folks don't really know why people do business with them. They suffer from an "inside the bottle" mentality that keeps them from seeing what's truly going on around them. There are often crucial pieces of information that are hidden to them, and thus hidden to their potential customers. The purpose of uncovery is to root out that information and share it with everyone.
One of the best models to understand what the uncovery process accomplishes is the Johari Window, a communications model invented by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham in the 60s. It describes the process of human interaction. If you can apply this as a model for interaction design, it is even more pertinent for the Web.
Let's talk about the Johari Window. "Self," that's me, and I'm a whiz-bang tax lawyer. "Others," that's you, my customers and potential customer base.
The OPEN quadrant represents all the information we both know about my business. It's the stuff I acknowledge about myself and put into brochures, or magazines, or newspapers, or on television so that you know it too. You and I share this information. It's OPEN.
Then there's information you know about me that I don't ever get to learn. You might have heard someone complain 'cause I wouldn't let him itemize a deduction the way he wanted. Your neighbor may have had several experiences she's happy to share with you. You know this stuff, but I don't. I am BLIND to it.
The information that you and I both don't know is UNKNOWN. It might not always stay UNKNOWN as we continue along the path of doing business together, so it basically represents future possibility.
The critical piece I need to grasp for my Web efforts to be most successful is the HIDDEN area, the part that I actually know about myself and you're really desperate to know.
Think about this. When was the last time you made a considered purchase? It probably took a lot of time – you probably spent a lot of time researching and shopping around. And eventually, still with unanswered questions, you came to the Web hoping you'd find reviews and opinions that provided the answers you needed to discover.
This is the main reason why many visitors come to the Web to do business with you, and this is the area that you want to open up as much as possible. By being the resource that finally answers the questions your visitors can't get answered anywhere else, this is where you can really maximize the ROI of your Web site.
After all, the more you are able to help your visitors meet their goals, the more you will help you meet yours.
Stay tuned to this same Grok channel. Next time we'll peek into what happens in the uncovery process!

Would You Like to Convert More of Your Traffic?
From November 13 to November 15 we'll be doing our 3 day Academy, the "Wizards of Web". Hope we see you there! Have you checked out the other places to meet us on our latest event schedule?
If you can't make either event, make sure to get your copy of Persuasive Online Copywriting?
Okay, it's the dog days of summer and just the thought of doing anything more taxing than lifting a pencil makes perspiration pop out all over and trickle everywhere (lucky readers in cooler climes). I can't get terribly worked up for a lot of activity. So how about a little brain exercise?
Let's sharpen our active voice copy skills. Remember back when we discussed the value of Thinking Active – using the active voice in preference to the passive voice when you want your copy to be more persuasive? I'd recommend you go back and read the article, but here's the skinny:
Active and passive are verb voices. Active voice emphasizes the doer, the agent of the activity:
Sylvester ate Tweety.
The passive voice shifts the focus of a sentence away from the doer. The emphasis in the passive voice is always on what is happening, not who is doing it. Sometimes the passive sentence mentions the agent, sometimes not, but there is always an implicit or explicit "by whom":
Tweety was eaten. (by whom is implied)
Tweety was eaten by Sylvester. (by whom is Sylvester)
Passive constructions aren't always immediately obvious:
Built Ram Tough. (by whom?)
Designed to be the best umbrella you'll every buy. (by whom?)
You should be taken to the hospital. (by whom)
Passive voice has its uses, but in copy that is meant to persuade, motivate, sound accountable and credible … well, nothing beats the active construction.
So here are six sentences. Identify if the sentence is written in the active or passive voice. Then rewrite it in the opposite voice.
1. This credit card receipt should be sent to someone other than the person named on the card.
2. The technician should change the air purifier's filter after approximately 50 hours of use.
3. The first available specialist will contact you via email or by telephone within one business day to quickly provide a solution to your request.
4. Your billing address has been corrected by our Records Administration staff.
5. I apologize for the frustrations you recently experienced with WorldWide Online Member Services.
6. A hydraulic system that is both tough and intelligent, designed to respond to the slightest operator command.
Like a cold glass of lemonade before you start? (chortle)

Reconciling Fairy Tales and Holding Down the Crow
"To Eat Crow"- Eating crow is a U.S. colloquial idiom, meaning humiliation by admitting wrongness or having been proved wrong after taking a strong position. Eating crow is presumably foul-tasting in the same way that being proved wrong might be emotionally hard to swallow. – Wikipedia
It's that feeling you get when you're stuck in a line of traffic when you have somewhere to be. It's feeling that your insides are swelling from your stomach to your throat, and you're hoping that none of your coworkers take notice to the sweat beads glistening from the pores all across your face.
And that's me, sitting at my desk and rapidly approaching a daily panic session where I'm afraid that this is all a mistake. I'm sure my coworkers wonder in their side glances why I'm so red faced and sweaty, and I curse myself for not having a cuter method of panic.
You see- like many children of this generation, I was raised on a heavy dose of Disney movies. As a child, I believed I would grow up in constant battle against the world's evils, gallantly overcoming the odds with flawlessly full-bodied hair and a handsome prince at my side. In reality, I grew into an awkward teenager in the high school marching band, eventually overcoming a 22-year awkward phase and using my college degree to land a job collecting trailer payments. And did I mention that I was single?
Not exactly a fairy tale.
But flash forward to the present, and I've made it to a secure and tolerable place in a life. Why rock the boat?
That's what the past two weeks have been since deciding to quit my responsible adult life – a turbulent ride between the hills of excited elation and the valley of self-doubt. I'm afraid of making a mistake.
The thing about growing up is that no one ever teaches you to properly reconcile the childhood fairy tales with the realities of a non-magical world. People tell you not to lose grip of your inner child, and they neglect to tell you how the bad guys aren't often equipped with crooked noses, tentacles, or two-toned hair. They leave out how real life evils aren't always spells that can be undone, and sometimes innocence is lost in horrific ways.
We are left to discern it all on our own.
And along the way I've made mistakes. I've dated a multitude of frogs, I've befriended the wrong people, and I've packed on some unwanted pounds because no one ever told Sleeping Beauty that she'd get fat if she didn't wake up and work out.
Thus, I've found myself less as the beloved princess with the happily ever after and more times the village idiot eating crow in the corner. And oh! have I eaten my fair share.
For many, that's normally the point of surrender- or at least it should be, right? One mistake- understandable. Two- forgivable. Three- You moron! Shouldn't you have learned by now?
And so it seems with every mistake made on our journey into adulthood, we allow the ghost of our past mistakes, our past hurts and trials, to disenchant us. It's the disconsolate whisper in Peter Pan's ear ruefully suggesting that it's time to grow up.
It's a ruthless limbo binding us to the past, reminding us of where we went wrong, preventing us from pressing forward. It's the place where we punish ourselves for our lapse in judgment and question whether we even deserve to let go and move on.
But all ye hesitant, all ye pained- let me tell you something about the art of mistakes. As a well-seasoned mistake maker, I bring you good news in the art of eating crow. While it never gets any easier to swallow, it is not asked that you forever pay for your past indiscretions. Maybe, in your crow eating moment, you'll hang your head in the corner while you finish your plate, but after that- you're done.
For every mistake you've made, for every time you've taken a faulty stand, it is time to stomach the crow and get out of that corner. It is time to move forward, empowered by the wisdom of hindsight, to take another chance. To risk another mistake.
In fact, in my crow eating moments, I have realized this: For every mistake you ever make, you will only ever owe these two things to anyone:
1) Sometimes an apology.
2) Always a comeback.
And make sure that you always come back. Always.
So maybe our lives aren't fairy tales, but they are certainly not without wonder.
You see, every day we awake to see a world where the efforts of us hard-working, non-magical folk meet the efforts of God. Where the creations of our hands meet the grace and beauty of His.
It isn't fairy dust. It's sweat and tears, trial and error- mistakes and comebacks.
So while story books end, let your happily ever after be your epic comeback- every time you need it.
Behold- how wondrous the successes of hard work and the beauty of the human spirit!
I can assure you that I am no queen, nor am I a princess. I am just a girl who purchased a plane ticket to a land far away.
And I'm telling you now, if this adventure is a mistake, then pop that crow in the oven and have it waiting when I get home. Right now, I'm packing up my mistakes with intentions of giving them to the mountains.
Right now, I'm itching for a comeback.

Breaking News: More Taxpayer Money Wasted on Octomomby Free Britney at . Comments
In case you didn't hate her enough, just be glad you don't live in La Habra, Calif. If you happen to, our sympathies! Police say the department has spent thousands in overtime pay to look after Octomom Nadya Suleman and her family.
Resources were spent checking on the Suleman family during regular patrol hours and responding to calls at the house, though the total cost is not known.
Nadya Suleman, 33, gave birth to the longest-living set of octuplets in history - the last of whom went home last week - back on January 26.
She has six other children, all younger than 8.
Octomom has been widely criticized by some members of the media, as she is single, unemployed and supporting her family - before the octuplets were even - born with food stamps, disability payments and student loans. But who's counting?
La Habra Police spokeswoman Cindy Knapp said the city will not seek restitution from Nadya Suleman for police escorts that accompanied babies home from Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, or for other costs.
"Virtually all police services are free to residents of the community," she said. "There are no legal provisions or paths for cost recovery under the specific circumstances or service provided to the Sulemans at this point."
The department began working closely with the Suleman family after the two strongest of the infants were brought home in mid-March. The black SUV carrying Suleman, the babies and nurses was swarmed by paparazzi at stoplights.
Knapp said when the second and third sets of two babies were discharged from the hospital, police units and a supervisor guarded the cul-de-sac for her.
Hey, at least the Octomom reality show is officially a go. That shouldn't cause any additional chaos on her street or anything. Click to enlarge more pics:
I think she is the biggest con of all time,, and anyone who gets sucked into her scam is just crazy... I pity those poor kids, but than again, don't look like she is taking care of them, everyone else is doing that job for her..she is just reaping in the benefits of it all..SHE don't have to worry about a recession....personally i wish she would go into hiding cause i am sick to death of her and her headlines...
This woman is crazy, I'm really annoyed at what she's doing. A freeloader is what she is. It's bad enough she's slacking off, it's even worse she's using her parents' money (whether they have that money or not is another case). The worst part is, she's also using grants/welfare that citizens paid in taxes! -Imee
Lydia, what exactly are you trying to say, dear? I'm afraid that you are completely incoherent; and Ainsley Jo, you are living in a dream world. No one is going to buy your story. Nadya is boring, boorish, banal, and beastly. She is fading away just as she should. We'll all be glad to see her go.
lets hope she dosnt want "1" more again...she might end up with 10.
AJP, you're back (again).
If Suleman came to my house, I'd hide in the back room and call the men with white coats! She and her publicity-seeking whorishness have ruined a perfectly nice neighborhood. She's a narcissistic moron, and no one with any sense or sense of responsibility can stand to be around her for more than five minutes. She's obnoxious, ugly, and misguided as heck--and she herself let the media know when she was bringing the first baby home, thus precipitating the media onslaught. She should have to pay the taxpayers of CA and of La Habra back. She's a parasite and a disgrace to parents everywhere. Let us hope the witch leaves our neighborhood as soon as possible. Yeah, go Nadya, GO AWAY!!!
Lydia, you've said it so well! Nadya hoped that she would fit into the neighborhood instead of being an outcast. When death threats are made against you and your family and your property vandalized, you have the right to as much police protection as you can get. I hope that there is at least one neighbor who thinks like you do and has the courage to show it. There probably ARE neighbors there who would love to drop by for a visit and/or invite Nadya over to their homes, but they might also become shunned and threatened. Lydia, keep on being bold and outspoken! It's said that you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything--such as this mob mentality of hating on Nadya and family.
lydia i do agree that alot of money is wasted on the war but she does too. she already had 6 she couldnt pay for. 6 that she already used food stamps, disability payments and student loans to take care of them. why would you need 7. she already had 6. i think thats enough. she wanted 1 more and got 8 more she cant take care of. she cant even take care of them on her own. think about it. she already had 6 she couldnt pay for why in the world would you want "one" more? thats just stupid. and now here she is getting all this money and buying a bunch of shirts and pants for her self. buying a bunch of make up that cost alot for her self. she didnt need another one.

The experience of using coaching as a learning technique [...]
Jonathan Passmore & Lance Mortimer
Objectives: This preliminary study sought to explore the experiences of UK Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) in using coaching as a method for novice driver learning, as part of a wider research agenda into the use of coaching in driver instruction.
Design: The qualitative method of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to explore the experiences of ADIs when employing a new learning technique with learner drivers.
Methods: The study took place in the UK with 15 ADIs who had attended a five-day coaching skills course at the University of East London designed specifically for driving instructors and based on the University's postgraduate programme for coaching psychology.
Results: The study found seven main themes emerged with respect to the use of coaching. These were: understanding the nature of coaching; building an integrated approach; developing new skills; the learner's acceptance of responsibility for their learning; helping learners' change their attitude; performance; and achieving wider adoption within the industry.
Conclusions: The study suggests that coaching has a role to play in driver learning. The perception of ADI participants was that, when combined with instruction, it is experienced by ADIs as a useful pedagogy. Further research is required to assess the impact of coaching on learning effectiveness and its post-test accident rates of learners.
Keywords: Coaching with learner drivers; coaching as pedagogy; GDE Matrix, HERMES project; coaching with novice learners; adult learning; ADI coaching; Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.

Aaron Doster remembers sliding into second base. "My helmet fell off, and I hit my head on the ground," the Fairborn High School baseball player recalled about the game last spring. Aaron thought he just had a bump on the head. Initially he showed no symptoms of a concussion. Aaron, who is both a pitcher and outfielder, continued to play, even scoring a run and making a few outfield plays. Then he asked for a time-out, telling his coach he "didn't feel right." His coach sidelined Aaron for the remainder of the game and kept a close eye on him.
When he got home, his parents, Kelley and Gary Doster, noticed a disconcerting change in their son. "He just didn't seem like himself," recalled Kelley. "Normally he is talkative, and he was just standing off by himself." Surprisingly, the next day Aaron didn't remember hitting his head, scoring a run, riding the bus home or having dinner with his parents.
When his parents took him to school that day, they asked that he be evaluated by Kevin Allen, ATC, a certified athletic trainer. As part of Miami Valley Hospital's Sports Medicine program, athletic trainers like Kevin are assigned to local schools. Throughout the school year, they work on-site, where their duties include evaluating injuries and supervising a teen's return to play.
Kevin's evaluation indicated that Aaron had suffered a minor concussion. The Dosters were relieved to learn that the memory loss Aaron experienced is not uncommon in cases of minor concussions.
The vast majority of bumped heads in sports don't cause harm. However, when the head is hit hard enough and the brain suffers temporary neurological impairment, the result is a concussion, says Dusty Rhodes, DO, of the MVH Sports Medicine Center and a clinical associate professor at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine.
When a player doesn't see a hit coming, it's more likely a serious concussion will happen. "If you're blindsided, it takes much less force to cause damage," explained Dr. Rhodes.
"Thirty years ago, we talked about concussions in terms of whether someone lost consciousness. If they didn't, it wasn't considered a big deal," said Dr. Rhodes. "We now know that cognitive functions, such as perception, memory, and judgment, are affected—even when there is no loss of consciousness."

October 22, 2012
Gerald Ondrey
The first solar tower power plant in North Africa will be built in Algeria. The People's Democratic Republic of Algeria Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (Bundesministeriums für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit; BMU) have agreed to collaborate on this project. The aim is to build a solar-gas hybrid power plant with an output of up to seven megawatts. Important components of power station technology were, to a great extent, developed by the German Aerospace Center (DLR; Cologne, Germany; www.dlr.de) with partners.
The power plant will be constructed in Boughezoul, on the northern edge of the Sahara desert, and will serve primarily as a pilot and research facility. It will be able to operate using just solar energy or as a hybrid power plant fuelled by a combination of solar power and gas. This combination enables this country, one that holds exceptionally large gas reserves, to manage a relatively smooth and inexpensive transition from fossil fuel to solar power generation with an assured continuity of supply.
Key components of the technology for the solar tower power plant were developed at DLR. On a laboratory scale, solar researchers initially designed and tested the High Temperature Receiver (HiTRec) currently in use in the solar furnace in Cologne. At the top of the tower, a solar radiation receiver collects the radiation reflected by the mirrors and converts this solar energy into heat. The HiTRec solar radiation receiver uses ambient air, making it very robust and therefore ideally suited to operate in North Africa. The receiver operates at temperatures of up to 700°C, so solar energy can be converted into heat and subsequently into electricity very efficiently.
Researchers tested the first large-scale pilot unit of this type of receiver at the Plataforma Solar de Almería in southern Spain. The breakthrough came when this new technology was applied to the pilot solar tower power plant in Jülich, in southwestern Germany, that was completed in 2009 by the Munich-based plant construction company Kraftanlagen München (KAM).
In a solar tower power station, an array of mirrors reflects sunlight onto the top of the tower. Here, the concentrated rays are converted into heat, giving rise to temperatures of up to 1,000°C. This energy is used to heat water and turn it into steam; this steam is then used to drive a turbine. Solar tower power plants operate at higher temperatures than other kinds of solar-thermal power plants, like parabolic trough power plants. Their high operating temperatures make the efficiency rating of these power plants very high — fewer collectors are needed per kilowatt-hour generated, thereby cutting the cost of power generation. In contrast to the parabolic trough design of solar power plants, the first of which entered service some 30 years ago, solar tower power technology is still, comparatively speaking, in its infancy. The big advantage of solar thermal power plants is that they are able to store solar power in the form of heat for several hours, and to do so in a cost-effective manner. This enables them to deliver renewably sourced electricity in line with varying demand.
