Issues of Technical Support for e-Learning Systems in Higher Education Institutions
Download Now
Date Added: Mar 2012
Format: PDF
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have provided several tools to facilitate higher education. However, their effective use demands technical expertise to achieve the required academic goals. The university constituents (teachers, students and administrators) are given e-Training but this is not enough. Every e-Learning system establishes a basic 'Infrastructure' of computers, networks, communications and a technical department filled with ICT professionals to consistently maintain and upgrade the infrastructure, train the users and continuously provide technical support as and when required by them.

This is a subreddit dedicated to daily meditation practice. Typically people promise to meditate every day for a certain period of time (like 30 days) and post their daily meditation times and experiences.
GENERAL GUIDELINES: when we begin, pick a length of time you feel you can commit to every day. Now could be a good time to add, gradually or all at once, minutes to your practice if you have one.
If you're brand new, it's a good idea to start small, maybe 5-10 minutes, and add 5 minutes each week. Don't do too much; don't do too little. You know what's right for you.
POSTING GUIDELINES: by all means, discuss problems, ask questions, and bring up confusions. That said, meditation is an internal experience, and it's somewhat detrimental to your practice to try to describe in words each and every sensation that comes up. So feel free to simply check in with how many minutes you sat for each day.

Cornerstone - Ellisha Crosby (8 rebounds)
UNOH - Amanda Henry, Rebecca Puckett (5 rebounds)
Cornerstone - Robyn Veltkamp (8 assists)
UNOH- Amanda Francis (6 assists)
The Golden Eagles jumped out to an early lead but the Racers hung tough through the first 6 minutes of play. Tara Olberding's 3-pointer put UNO up 9-8 and the Racers would not trail the rest of the half. UNO went up 25-15 with 9:37 left on the clock when Amanda Francis drained a 3-pointer. The Racers built a 12 point lead on three occasions. The last of those 12 point leads (41-29) came with 1:55 left in the first half. The Golden Eagles did finish the half with a 5-1 run to bring the score to 42-34 as they went into the locker room. The Racers were able to maintain that lead for the first 11 minutes of the second half. Cornerstone made an 8-0 run in a 2 minute span capped off by an Ellisha Crosby 3-pointer and a steal and layup by Melissa Veltkamp to tie the score at 59-59. The Golden Eagles were not able to capture the lead over the next five minutes but they kept it close until Robyn Veltkamp tied the score at 2:24 and then Brooke Carter put Cornerstone up 70-68 with 1:22 left in the game. Cornerstone turned the ball over with :22 seconds left to give UNOH the ball. The Golden Eagles had only 2 fouls in the half so they fouled the Racers a couple of times to draw the clock down. The Racers were able to move the ball and found Shaye Warman open and she made a 3-pointer to give UNOH a 71-70 lead with 4.1 seconds left on the clock. The Golden Eagles threw the ball into Robyn Veltkamp and she drove down the middle of the court with the ball and was fouled. The clock did not show any time left but the buzzer had not gone off yet so there was less than .1 left as Veltkamp stepped to the line. She calmly made the first shot of the one and one to tie the score at 71-71 and then drained the second to put the Golden Eagles up 72-71. The Racers threw the ball in and the horn sounded to end the game.
Up Next
The Golden Eagles will host Madonna on Wednesday at 7:30.

The fine gentlemen at Selectism have asked me to write a column on the very cool (and recently redesigned) men's online magazine. The space will differ slightly from ACL in that it will be a more personal viewpoint on things. You can read my first few posts now, including more fun stuff from my trip to Japan. Bookmark it and check back for new updates. Many thanks to Jeff and David for bringing me on board.
The New Selectism
Tokyo | The Shops Part One
Prior to coming to Japan I thought New York was the best shopping city in the world. Talk about epic misconceptions. Tokyo has some of the coolest stores I have ever seen. I spent the better part of today wandering around Shibuya, Shinjuku and Harajuku. What I saw was just the tip of the iceberg. The highlights were Tomorrowland, United Arrows, the Journal Standard shops (Furniture, JS Homestead), Prada in Aoyama and my favorite Tokyu Hands. Some store photos (in the craze of things I didn't shoot every store) from day one are below.
Prada glass block store in Aoyama.
ACL | The Highlights
Since I am away I thought it would be a good time to repost a few of my favorite entries that may have gone unseen.
- Labour and Wait (Eat your heart out DWR Tools for Living)
- Mordechai Likes Old Man Style
- Sartorial Radio featuring Band of Outsiders
- The Banker Bag (Not so sexy anymore are they?)
- Sidney Falco & 50s/60s Jazz (Third overall post)
The newish ACL logo…
Tokyo Bound
I'm headed East to Tokyo for an eight day adventure. Not sure how much I will be able to post while I am traveling, but check back for updates. Also, keep an eye on the ACL Twitter feed and Flickr if you want to follow the action live.

The eBay Find | U.S. Navy WWII Steamer Trunk
It's not everyday that I see something on eBay that makes me throw all rational thought out the door, but yesterday was one of those days. Occasionally, Andy from Reference Library will email me with a cool eBay discovery (he is the master of finding cool things on eBay if you haven't noticed) and the most recent email was a whopper. Andy found a fully stocked WWII U.S. Navy officer's steamer trunk, complete with multiple uniforms, buttons, sunglasses, U.S. Navy belt buckle, ID bracelet, signal cards and documents including the sailor's honorable discharge papers. Amazing! Bidding starts at $99 and the auction is still live so you still have a chance to own a piece of history.
Mad Men | The Conversation you are Missing
The show Mad Men gets quite a bit of coverage here on ACL, everything from the sixties era style, to the character's excessive alcohol consumption. While I don't want to go overboard obsessing about the show (might be too late, the AMC series even has its own category), it is worth pointing out that a few enterprising people (or the AMC marketing department, but I doubt they have what it takes to pull this off see comments) have picked up where the show leaves off and are keeping the characters going 24/7 on Twitter. At first glance it seemed a little goofy, but after a while I really started to enjoy the constant twittering of Betty saying things like: "Trying to spend more time with @sally_draper and @robert_draper, so they don't feel invisible. It's hard on them with Don not around" and "Looking for my grandmother's recipe for German noodles."
Esquire's Handbook for Hosts
There seems to be a serious return to the classic cocktail underfoot. I personally can say that when I started drinking Rye Manhattans a few years ago it was a pretty remarkable shift in my perception and subsequent consumption of alcohol. I learned to appreciate the art of a rigorous ice cube and a well made drink. Recently a friend gave me the 1949 edition of the Esquire's Handbook for Hosts. The book is a gold mine of old school drinking and party advice, everything from Stocking the Cellar to Highballs. There are literally hundreds of pages that I could have included. Some of my favorites below.
If you can't be bothered to make a strong cocktail at home, I put together a list of New York bars that know the art of making a proper drink. The full map can be seen here.

Beer Spotlight: Tower 10 IPA
Beer: Tower 10 IPA
Brewery: Karl Strauss
Style: India Pale Ale
Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass
Karl Strauss Brewing Company located in San Diego California is a product of the 80s, in a good way. According to the website, Tower 10 IPA was born "Amid a sea of neon bikinis, Tower 10 marked the spot where two college grads and a 75 year-old master brewer drew up plans for the first local craft brewery in San Diego since Prohibition." Anything to do with bikinis, beaches and beer I am into, and a cooler full of Tower 10 IPA would be a great addition to any beach visit. Tower 10 is brewed with Chinook, Cascade and Centennial hops giving it a hop punch that San Diego brewers have a reputation for. This is a great beer to pair with spicy foods such as curry dishes. To explore the world or Karl Strauss Brewing Company visit their website.

Sweet label. Awesome beer for the beach, but I thought you couldn't take bottles to the beach?

As Reforms Take Hold, Teachers Reapply or Leave
Teachers at eight schools slated for intensive reform in Newark began learning on Friday whether they'd be keeping their positions at their current schools.
Teachers and principals at the so-called renewal schools are required to reapply for their jobs,
Many of the teachers chose not to re-apply for their jobs, according to Erskine Glover, principal of Quitman Street Community School. It's one of eight "renewal" schools in Newark that has been targeted for reform by new superintendent Cami Anderson.
Quitman is also one of 75 schools designated as a priority by the Christie administration because the majority of its students do not pass state tests.
Principal Glover has re-interviewed for his job three times in two years. Now he has hired 20 teachers, a mixture of existing Quitman teachers and new ones, he said.
The teachers who are leaving chose not to reapply, Glover said.
"I probably have lost about 10 teachers to other locations, and that was primarily them searching and finding something that was a good fit for them," Glover said.
But the president of the Newark Teachers Union has a different interpretation.
"A lot of teachers were not interested in reapplying for a job they already had," said Joseph Del Grosso, president of the union. Also, the plan for what exactly is in store for renewal schools has not been announced, Del Grosso said, so teachers are wary of what is being asked of them.
Tenured teachers who are not rehired will be put into an unassigned pool and remain employed until they're placed in a classroom.
This report is part of a collaborative reporting project of New Jersey Public Radio, Hechinger Report and New Jersey Spotlight to follow Quitman Street Community School over the next year and chart the progress of reform efforts there.

The Family and Social Services Administration said Tuesday it is extending its Healthy Indiana Plan to participants who earn between 100 percent and 200 percent of the federal poverty level. The move will give members more time to obtain coverage through the federal health care exchange.
FSSA Secretary Debra Minott said many plan members have struggled to enroll in the exchange because of technical issues.
Federal officials have agreed to let Indiana extend its plan through 2014 but changed the income requirements to focus on those below 100 percent of the federal poverty level.
The extension could cost Indiana up to $11 million.

Dr. Kean B. Lawlor's Ratings
I have now been treated by Dr. Lawlor for 9 years for my skin cancer. After being misdiagnosed in 2002 by another dermatologist, was told that I had Psoriasis but in fact I had skin cancer. I was treated for the incorrect diagnosis for many years before I knew what it really was which lead to many spots and tumors. On my fist apointment, Dr Lawlor confirmed just by looking that I did not have psoiasis and that it was skin cancer and confirmed this positive later with a biopsy. I trust Dr. Lawlor completely,he has an excellent bedside manner,super helpful, very friendly, informative, thorough and knowledgeable. He is smart, fun, energetic, enthusiastic - makes you feel comfortable and lets you ask questions instead of just rushing you off. He is great at giving you a treatment plan and making his patients feel as though they are in it together, rather than just outlining a list of things the patient should do. I highly reccommend Dr. Lawlor.

A suite of five movements with different material. Each movement is associated through the use of one theme. The first, "Intrada," is fanfare-like, and the second, "Chorale," features a trumpet solo. "March," the third movement, is reminiscent of the opening material, followed by "Antique Dance," which has a modal melody. The final movement, "Jubilee," is clearly the most intense.

Sewer proposal passes in Oconee County
WALHALLA - In 1976, Oconee County voters denied the county the use of ad valorem tax money to directly fund sewer projects.
Tuesday, voters handily reversed that decision, approving a proposal allowing the direct funding route by 16,292 yes votes, or 56.81 percent, against 12,385 votes no.
The trend was strong for approval in areas where county officials have targeted for access to sewer service and for negative votes to be concentrated in the northern areas where the extension of sewer is unlikely for some time.
"The county still has no intention of getting into the sewer business itself," said County Council Chairman Joel Thrift, adding that the approval of the proposal meant simply that the county now would have a direct mechanism for funding sewer instead of the indirect and convoluted means the county has been forced to adopt because of the 1976 referendum and subsequent court decisions that upheld its prohibitions.
The 1976 referendum proposal that only user fees and grants could be used to fund sewer. The county's general sewer and water agreement with the cities and the Oconee Joint Regional Sewer Authority calls for the county to pay the authority about $610,000 per year to be used for sewer development in the unincorporated areas of the county. The nonspecific designation and use of that payment has been a bone of contention between the county and the authority.
The county is currently in negotiation with the sewer authority and the city of Seneca on an approximately $8 million project to extend sewer service to the county's Golden Corner Commerce Park, off S.C. 59 near Fair Play.
Thrift and Reg Dexter, who both handily won re-election Tuesday, said they saw the approval of the sewer proposal along with their re-elections an indicator that the voters approved of their efforts to develop the county's infrastructure as a means of fostering economic development and job creation.
Dexter said he was surprised at the referendum's margin of victory, however.
"It's a sign they understand the issues and what's at state − jobs," Dexter said.
Bob Winchester, executive director of the Oconee Joint Regional Sewer Authority, which as dominion on sewer projects in the county, said the authority had taken no public position on the referendum and agreed that it would change nothing in how sewer projects originate and are carried out except the county's method of funding.

So the end of the whole 30 came and went and then the weekend came, and it wasn't pretty.
I ate some sweet things, I ate some not so sweet things, I ate some whole30 things and some not whole30 things. What I definitely learnt from this experience is I feel like crap when I'm not eating properly.
Before the whole30 I didn't really realise how badly I felt, I spent Saturday feeling horrendous, tired, irritable, headachy nauseous and weak. I'm serious, it was shockingly bad, the stomach ache was enough on it's own without the really awful lethargy and the change in my mood.
To say that it put me firmly back in my place is an understatement, I've seen how my body runs on good fuel and now I feel how I run on shitty fuel. It's painful, it's depressing and it's awful.
So from Sunday on I'm back to clean. I have a social engagement on Friday which I'm looking forward to but I'm going to suffer afterwards, but I won't let it derail the food awesomeness.
So I'm loving whole30 and I miss it already, I responded to a twitter shout out to start again on August 5th so I'm going to be back with it as soon as possible. Hopefully the next 15 lbs will disappear as easily as the first did! I doubt that somehow but steady, clean eating = steady weight loss and thats what I want. Feel free to join us! Tweet me @Weight_Wars
Speaking of Twitter, Laura tweeted me in response to my body positive fail post the other day and I loved what I read, intelligent and very close to the knuckle. Body love is not an obligation. I recommend it for those struggling with the concept, and those who don't.
How did your weekend go?

Things I Hate About TV: "At the end of the day..."
I'll be the first to admit that it's pretty dumb to watch this much sports-related television. I feel especially stupid if I'm watching the Rome/Around the Horn/PTI block in real time and all three shows are covering the same thing I watched six times on Sportscenter. By the time Tony and Michael get to discussing it, I feel like I could write a dissertation on "me-first wide receivers" or "Mike Tyson related crime". As stupid as I feel, though, I keep watching. I can't stop watching. Honestly, I think ESPN is putting something in the water.
So, maybe it's a little disingenuous for me to be complaining about these shows, but seeing as ESPN is keeping my brain a hostage, I might as well sound off on the one thing I can't stand about all of them...
I understand that sports are where a lot of our clichés come from and I even like a lot of sports clichés (I get happy during every single "bad-team-gets-it-together-in-training-montage.") I just want the people who comment about my sports to be able to do so without repeating the same four or five phrases again and again and again.
With the exception of Michael Irvin (and his enormous tie-knot) these are professional broadcasters, for goodness sake! They have writers and producers! Can't one of them get through a segment without saying the same trite and useless statement that every other announcer has used?
The worst example of sports cliché is the title of this blog entry. "At the end of the day..." Listen the next time you watch these shows and you'll hear the phrase approximately nine hundred times an hour: "I like what Jeff Garcia has done with this offense, but at the end of the day you need a legitimate starter in there"; "the Colts have an amazing offense, but at the end of the day, it's defense that wins you championships"; "the sun is an amazing giver of life and light, but at the end of the day, it abandons us, just like mommy did."
It drives me nuts.
There's something to be said for the immediacy of understanding that a cliché brings to the table, but at the end of the day, originality needs to win out!
What's your annoying sports cliché?

I thought that traction might help, and finally talked my dr. into ordering it after physical therapy. I tried it yesterday for 20 minutes before coming home, not feeling much different. But walking through the night, I felt a lot worse than I had 24 hours ago. Today has been just awful, and unless someone can convince me that traction really does help over time, I've had enough!
This is just a cautionary tale, to remind people to start new treatments heedfully, with plenty of analgesics around; and never do anything new on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or (if Holiday) Monday unless you're prepared to go to the ER!View Thread

Seventeen points in a four-game span earned Eastern Nazarene College senior forward Kara Webber of Marshfield a pair of player-of-the-week honors.
Her scoring outburst, which helped the women's soccer team win three of the four games, included a rapid-fire three goals in four minutes in a 5-0 nonconference victory over Regis. Webber netted two goals and one assist in a 5-0 shutout of Commonwealth Coast Conference rival Curry and added four assists and a goal in nonconference matchups against Mitchell and Newbury.
"Kara's relentless and she's improved every year,'' said Eastern Nazarene coach Steve Hamilton. "She strikes the ball with her left foot as well as any player I've ever seen.
"She's always double-teamed and still finds her teammates with a pass, something she's done even better this season.''
With a career-high 13 goals, Webber was one shy of the program's single-season record going into yesterday's game against visiting Western New England. The Lions (7-4-1) had already broken the school record for wins, set last year.
"It's great to reflect on how much our program has improved since my freshman year,'' said Webber, a captain who was named the conference's Women's Soccer Player of the Week and the ECAC's Offensive Player of the Week. "I could see in preseason we had a better team chemistry.''
Webber has scored in double figures three consecutive years: She had 11 goals and two assists last season when she was a conference second-team pick, and 12 goals and four assists as a sophomore.
At Marshfield High, Webber was an Eastern Mass. and Old Colony League All-Star. As a freshman in 2004, she started at forward on a squad that won the league title and advanced to the state final.
However, Webber, who had also played on several club and traveling teams, wasn't sure if she would continue playing.
She briefly attended college in North Carolina, then transferred to Eastern Nazarene, where her former high school teammate, Ali Polcari, was a freshman on the varsity women's soccer team.
"Ali knew things hadn't worked out for me and said the soccer team had been hit with injuries and that I could help them,'' said Webber. "Coach Hamilton also called me and said I was welcome to be part of the program. It's the best decision I've ever made.''

Sony is well known for its state-of-the-art imaging sensors, and recent figures show that it now holds 50% market share when it comes to the revenue from this area only.
As some of you might know, he company's sensors are widely used even by large camera and optics manufacturers like Nikon, Olympus, or Panasonic. Moreover, it seems that you can also find a Sony sensor in the new iPhone 5S.
Recently, the firm announced on the Sony Imaging Technology website that "Sony is the world's No. 1 manufacturer of image sensors for digital cameras and video recorders (based on Sony research from April 2012 to March 2013 that shows Sony has a 50% market share)."
A couple of months back, the company announced its latest interchangeable-lens cameras, the A7 and A7R, which are the world's first full-frame mirrorless digital cameras. Thanks to Sony's state-of-the-art sensor, also used in Nikon's D800 and D800E DSLRs, the new cameras pack an exceptional image quality comparable with the more expensive digital SLRs.

It's that most wonderful time of year when people weary of taxes, the economy and goings-on in Cala-clash can and should venture outside themselves and soak up some spring things going on in Brunswick County.
I know I did that just this past Saturday, when I was invited to be a judge in the Calabash Fire Department's first Show and Shine Car Show.
If the fire department hired me for my car-judging expertise, they had asked the right woman.
Any car that looks pretty, has cruise control and a great stereo always gets my vote.
Spending time away from the office for a week was a great way to recharge my batteries.
I spent most of the time with my 6-year-old in Charlotte visiting my brother, sister-in-law and 11-month-old nephew. It was a delight, especially since he started walking while we were there.
My daughter Taryn and I also made a visit to Discovery Place, where she saw a mad scientist blow things up, made all sorts of scientific discoveries and watched her first IMAX movie, "Fly Me to the Moon," (not a great movie for adults, but she liked it.)
I often hear parents talking about how their son or daughter has racked up a huge cell phone bill from excessive calling and texting. I even heard one parent say a child had sent 30,000 text messages in a month.
Well, my son has yet to send 30,000 texts in a month, but he can text and call people. He's even managed to access the mobile Web feature on my phone. While I have yet to get an astronomical phone bill, I know it's just a matter of time. After all, he's already figured this much out at the tender age of 18 months.
After the hurried passage of the Stimulus Bill, Americans became aware of just how quickly Congress was passing bills members may not have gotten around to reading before voting on them.
The sheer volume of the 1,000-plus page behemoth bill indicated no one had ample time to digest or even read the bill before the fever of ayes ensued in both Houses. But the Stimulus Bill was not the first bill rushed through Congress and, unfortunately, probably won't be the last.
If you've been in Brunswick County long enough, you probably realize by now that alligators aren't exactly welcome sights.
That's because they usually arrive unannounced in your backyard pond, halfway up the steps of your house or on the 9th fairway as you're trying to sink a golf ball or walk your dog, as many locals have discovered.
Everywhere I go the question is always the same: What is the future of newspapers?
I try my best to forecast where the newspaper industry is headed—opining about how I think community newspapers will outlive dailies, preaching newspapers must befriend not begrudge the Internet and reminding people there will always be the need for quality, objective news.
But the answer is simple—the newspaper industry is headed where the market takes it.
When 80-year-old Emily Clark got a call from someone alleging to be her grandson last week, she knew fairly quickly something wasn't quite right.
The caller said he was in jail in Canada and needed help. Money would be required to bond him out of the pen after he was allegedly involved in a wreck. The caller pleaded with Clark to not call his parents because they told him not to go to Canada. He didn't want them to know he was there, so instead he called his "grandmother" for help.
Last weekend, an alligator found a new home in a retention pond that's only a few feet from where I live.
I'm not a native Brunswick Countian, and I will admit, seeing one of these creatures up-close for the first time is an experience. It's not like you see those kinds of animals on the shores of Lake Michigan or while you're walking through the streets of downtown Chicago, so to a Midwesterner, it's definitely an experience.
Laura Lewis
It's that season when The Tax Ladies are busy, but not too busy to do your taxes without an appointment.
Situated in a century-old Victorian house on Holden Beach Road, the team of eight tax-savvy women is hard at work assisting taxpayers and preparing returns before the final IRS tax-bell tolls on April 15.
Yes, it's a taxing time, but February was actually busier with people scurrying in to get their fast refunds in, Tax Ladies owner and founder Diana White said.
If it passes the Senate, the bill outlawing smoking in public places will become a historic law in North Carolina, the state that built itself on tobacco farming.
I probably would not be here today if not for tobacco. Farming this cash crop in central North Carolina is how my grandfather made his living and how he put my mother through college. My mom's first job out of school brought her to Brunswick County, which is how she met my dad. The rest, as they say, is history.
But I'm not the only one with a generational connection to tobacco.

Adjournment Debate. - Special Educational Needs.
Thursday, 16 October 2003
Dáil Eireann Debate
112. Mr. Murphy asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will investigate an appli cation for resource teaching support on behalf of a person (details supplied) in County Cork. [23733/03]
Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey): The level of support made available to schools is determined having regard to the professionally-assessed needs of the individual pupil. In this case, an application for 2.5 hours resource teaching support per week for the pupil in question was forwarded to the Department's national educational psychological service NEPS for consideration. NEPS subsequently confirmed that the application did not meet the criteria as outlined in my Department's circular. The applicant school was informed of this outcome on 14 July 2003.
Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason a person (details supplied) in County Sligo does not have access to a resource teacher in view of the fact that it was approved in June 2003; if it will be put in place; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23749/03]
Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey): My Department received an application for resource teaching support for the child in question on 23 September 2003. Applications for special educational supports received between 14 February 2003 and 31 August 2003 are being examined at present on the basis of the supporting professional report(s) and in the context of resources already available at the school. The process involves an examination of each application and supporting documentation by a dedicated team of inspectors and psychologists. The schools concerned will be informed of the outcome as early as possible in the current school year.
When this process is complete, applications received after 1 September 2003 will be considered.

Behind The Scenes: Room To Grow – Exercise
Another day of filming for Room To Grow today – the topic is Exercise.
More specifically, it is four segments devoted to showing mums ways in which they can easily incorporate exercise and physical activity into their day.
Please remember, I am totally qualified to present these segments, having many, many years as a fitness and personal trianer and former aerobics instructor. Sadly, my fluoro, g-string , lycra leotards are nowhere to be found, despite the nagging of the camera crew for me to locate them.
And, funnily, suddenly, the toilet is blocked and looking rather irridecent pink. I have no idea why.
Anyhoo, before I start anything, I realise that my new pants only come to my knees and there's a good chance there'll be some shots of my legs. After only half a MUG of coffee, and whilst wrapped in a damp towel, husband commentating along the way, I perform a half leg wax on myself. On both legs. Not "half a leg". No. The bottom half of both legs. Thank you Nads.
I get on my new, specifically chosen and purchased from Mix Apparel only yesterday, and we set to work.
I must say, I do look the part and am overcome with a sense of healthy wellness and wanting to jog 10k. I made it ten steps before I had to stop and catch my breath, but the sentiment was there.
This is the first exercisey outfit I have purchased since I was hugely preggers with Chippie – and I'm rather impressed. Very comfy and I looooove the top.
(Oh, and as an aside – you can't see it, but under the aweosme, lightweight, mesh panel, breathable jacket, I'm wearing a racerback seam tank – and a tear came to my eye when I tried it on. You see, it has a 'shelf' bra thing on the inside, and this is the first time ever that I've put a top like this on and it covered my boobs! Not "just" covered them, either, but fit them in nicely! So happy!)
If nothing else, I looked the part, and know what I'm talking about, so that's a bonus. We set about filming all kinds of fabulously doable exercises for strength and fitness that you can easily do around the house. We even included some stretching, relaxation and yoga.
I even remembered to include some pelvic floor exercises you can do. Although, I did get a bit of a fright when Elisa (producer/director) said to Tom (cameraman) "Go in for a closeup" as I was doing them (all part of my job) and I thought he was coming in for a closeup of my pelvic floor.
That could have been weird on so many levels.
You'll be pleased to know he didn't.
After several hours and what I swear was about 8 billion squats, although Tom assures me was only fourteen, we pack up, reschedule another segment for next weekend – yay! – and I crawl into the bath, mumbling something that may or may not have sounded like "wine" to my beloved … and he brings me one anyway.
Elisa – apparently- will be adding some outtakes to the Room To Grow TV site in the next few days. Given I'm such an exceptional talent, I have no idea where she will even find any outtakes …
Requests have already been made for the Mad Cow's Exercise DVD's.
Requests have also been made not to produce these DVDs.
Elisa will be gauging interest – or lack of – in these DVDs by comments on this blog and over on Facebook – www.facebook.com/diaryofamadcow and www.facebook.com/roomtogrowtv.parenting
Once again, it was tough work, a long and tiring day and absolutely LOADS of fun!
I just hope Tom had been doing his pelvic floors … just saying ….
Huge thank you to the fabulously awesome Mix Apparel, who are my official clothing sponsors for Room To Grow – they totally rock it in the making me look presentable department

Originally posted on Fox Sports Detroit | Last updated 12/22/12
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Detroit Pistons got the most out of playing the Washington Wizards in a home-and-home series. On Saturday night, they won their second in as many nights, both over the woeful Wizards. Charlie Villanueva tied a season high with 19 points, Rodney Stuckey added 18 and the Pistons beat the Wizards, 96-87. It was only the second time this season that Detroit has won two straight. The Wizards, who trailed throughout the game, have lost seven straight and dropped to an NBA-worst 3-22. It got so bad for Washington that coach Randy Wittman said that he had intentionally got a technical foul midway through the first quarter with his team in the midst of missing 14 of its first 15 shots. He was hoping for a second, which would mean getting ejected from the game. "I've been trying to get thrown out for a while. These guys won't even throw me out," Wittman said. Had he been spared the rest of the game, Wittman would have missed Detroit grabbing 58 rebounds for the ...

Those with good memories may remember my blog post from a year ago about my terrible experiences as a first-time user of H&R Block tax software. Due to a software glitch, I spent hours in live chat with a company representative, finally unable to get the problem solved and being forced to paper file because of overrides I had to do on their forms to make my return correct.
Guess what?
The same thing has happened to me again this year.
This year involved different glitches from last year, but otherwise the story was the same -- although I fortunately was able to e-file my federal return, I ended up having to file paper state returns for both Massachusetts and New York.
On the New York state return, the problem did not appear until the "verification" function at the end of the return, which is the last step before the return is ready to file. (H&R Block software includes both "errors," which must be corrected before the return can be filed, and "verifications," which they ask you to check to make sure your entry is correct, but which ostensibly do not have to be changed in order to file your return.) My return, however, would not continue without addressing the "verification" issue, even though the form being verified was in fact there and completed.
After nearly three hours of chatting with (and waiting for) technical support, I was told that the support personnel had no idea of why my problem was occurring, and that I would need to paper file.
My problem on my Massachusetts return was more straightforward, and took "only" 25 minutes to resolve. However, the resolution was that I discovered an uncommon but required form for my return was not available on the H&R Block software -- which again precluded me from e-filing an accurate state return.
These problems are eerily reminiscent -- actually worse -- than those I experienced last year. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. So I will switch to TurboTax next year, which a number of Facebook friends recommended when I did a brief post about my problem.
And there is a larger public management point in this tale of consumer woe. The virtue of H&R Block being a private company with competitors is that when I have this terrible experience, I can switch suppliers. A citizen who has a bad experience with a government agency does not normally have that option.
This suggests that, where possible -- and occasionally it is! -- citizens should have a choice of government providers, just like agency procurement customers can choose to use the General Services Administration, competing governmentwide contracts, their own agency's existing contracts, or do a new procurement themselves. And it also reminds us of the crucial importance of government's alternative to marketplace choices, which is communications from disgruntled citizens to members of Congress, for whom such "casework" is an important job for them and for better public management.

You need to switch to Turbo Tax:-)
I can relate. I have torn my hair out with Turbo Tax so don't get too excited. All it takes is to be one off with something like using a different depreciation mechanism because the common ones people use now like ACRS weren't available 20 years ago when you started filing. This causes the software to go crazy. This year with a simpler return (no depreciation) I was very happy with TaxAct. It even handled my self employment income without a glitch. Good luck in finding the right software for you.
Steve: I use HRB software too and the same problem has occurred for me. But, there is a very simple override built into the script and I'm surprised the chat room you were dealing with didn't know it. It was quite obvious where it was. You are correct about the strengths of the private competitive market here versus being captive to government agencies for many services. But, bear in mind that as complex as tax software is, it is that way not because of private competitive forces but because of extraordinarly complex business rules and processes imposed on us by Congress and the IRS. Most failed software projects fail (as I recently wrote on Gartner.com) because of crappy governance (e.g. HealthCare.Gov) and unnecessarily complex business rules -- usually resulting from crappy governance. I am utterly amazed that HRB and TurboTax can produce anything sensible given the quagmire of the the embarassment of the US Tax Code imposed on us by our corrupt political leadership of both parties.

Patentably idiotic
The Kodak v. Sun suit has gone against Sun. This is hard evidence
that the software patent system is deeply broken. I know this isn't
news; you probably already knew.
One approach is to think that software patents are just plain
wrong. Maybe so, but this isn't obvious to me. Patents have
protected other technologies, and they might be able to handle
software. Software patents as currently done are broken,
dangerous, and frankly f'ing insanse, but maybe it's fixable. Or
at least we can lower the temperature of this hot tub in Hell.
Any mitigation must start with the basic problem of knowledge:
Almost nobody with actual authority in software patents is competent
to understand software. Patent examiners (I'm sorry to say) are
not our best and brightest. The Patent Office doesn't pay enough
to attract or keep top level folks. Juries (like the one in this
case) are picked from the normal jury pool. Imagine trying to
explain the difference between (say) virtual memory with paging vs.
an on-chip CPU cache to mother. And then remember that your
mother is smart enough to avoid jury duty. Not to mention that the
judge is a lawyer, most of whom have only the most basic scientific
In short, everybody who has the power to make judgements is
almost certainly unqualified to do so.
My favorite solution would be to fire all the examiners and
replace them with 25 actual experts, and let them grant (say) 30
patents a year (with maybe a unanimous vote for adding more).
But we could also require that the "jury of peers" be peers of
computer people. Those of us who are computer folks could join
that jury pool and be exempt from other jury duty. Then maybe the
jury deciding this kind of stuff might have a chance at having a
clue. This would be especially good because patents are only supposed
to cover thing not obvious to your average pracitioner in the field.
Who better to judge besides a jury practiioners in the field?
We could also make software patent grants provisional for 6
months. They get published and the outside world has a chance to
throw prior art at it to see if it sticks. A lot of companies would
be highly motivated to try knocking patents down before they cause
any damage. It would be a way of drafting highly competent technical
folks from these companies into the process of weeding out the
These are just some ideas, but it's a pretty depressing situation
and we oughta do something...

Guide to USMLE Step 1
SO, you are approaching the end of your second year at Jefferson, which was quite possibly the most grueling part of your medical education. Having gone through about a thousand pages of Path and countless lectures of FCM, you are so ready for a major break from the books, right? Well there's still one hurdle to cross before you reach the promised land of clinical medicine: Step I of the USMLE, or "the boards." Although this examination can seem pretty intimidating, a logical and well thought out approach to studying helps many Jefferson students pass on their first try. So first and foremost, do not panic!
This guide is meant to provide a framework and some simple suggestions for studying for Step 1. Remember, these are just suggestions and no one approach to studying is right for everyone. The key to success is to think about the topics and issues that need to be covered, make a realistic study plan, and then do your best.
To organize this guide, we've separated it into 4 major sections. The first answers some commonly asked questions about the boards. The second section deals with scheduling your study time wisely and efficiently. Finally, the third section discusses the review books that are available within each major subject.
In addition to this guide, be sure to visit these Web sites for official information:
