Professor Hoskins is a developmental biologist interested in the development of neural specificity and in how best to design teaching approaches that promote student learning and retention of understanding. Her recent work has focused on the C.R.E.A.T.E. project, an approach developed at CCNY with National Science Foundation support. The C.R.E.A.T.E. (Consider, Read, Elucidate hypotheses, Analyze data, and Think of the next Experiment) approach uses intensive analysis of primary literature (journal articles) as the focus of a an elective course for upper level undergraduates. Students read series of papers from individual labs to examine the arc of an evolving research project, and avoid abstracts and discussion sections in favor of close and critical examination of experimental design, methods, data presented, interpretations, models, alternative explanations, and possible directions for followup experiments. Late in the semester students communicate with paper authors via an email survey posing their own questions, thus gaining unique insight into 'the people behind the papers'. This method produces gains in students' critical thinking ability, content understanding, attitudes toward science and epistemological beliefs.
With ongoing support from the National Science Foundation "Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science" program, the method is currently being expanded to a nationally distributed group of 4 and two year colleges and universities, through intensive faculty development workshops to be run in summer 2012 and 2013, with co PI Dr. Kristy Kenyon (Colleges of Hobart and William Smith). The C.R.E.A.T.E. process provides students with transferable approaches to reading and analysis that can be applied to any science reading. At the same time, the approach shifts students' attitudes about the creativity of scientific research and about their own potential as scientists.

Atlanta, GA -- Health officials say the death toll in a rare fungal meningitis outbreak across several states has risen to seven.
In updated figures posted to its website, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the outbreak has spread to more than 60 people across nine states.
The latest cases have been confirmed in Minnesota and Ohio. The outbreak has been linked a steroid produced by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts.
The steroid has been recalled, and health officials have been scrambling to notify anyone who may have been injected with it.

Sally Miller says she might have been grateful if a school employee had given her son a good haircut. Miller, however, threatened to sue when her son returned home with "next to nothing" on his head.
WILSONVILLE, Ore. — Sally Miller says she might have been grateful if a school employee had given her son a good haircut.
Miller, however, threatened to sue when her son returned home with "next to nothing" on his head.
The West Linn-Wilsonville School District recently agreed to pay Miller $10,000 because the employee cut the 8-year-old boy's hair without permission.
The boy, who is in the district's special education program at Cederoak Park Primary School, got the haircut Oct. 11. The case was settled last month, but its documents were not released until The Oregonian filed a public records request.
"First I was shocked," Miller told the newspaper. "Then I was embarrassed that I didn't have the money to get him a haircut. And then I was mad…I thought, 'What nerve. How invasive.' "
The single mother said she tried to keep her son's hair looking neat.
"There was one stinking day, and I'm not lying, that I didn't brush his hair," Miller said.
Superintendent Roger Woehl said Wednesday the employee was wrong to play barber.
"If someone needs a haircut, we'd be more than happy to go into our wallets to give them 20 bucks."
The district's insurance company paid the $10,000 settlement. Peter Mersereau, the district's attorney, said the district does not admit any liability for the hairdo.
"We settled this case primarily because of the inordinate cost of defending," he said.
Miller said the episode has strained her relationship with her son's teacher and instructional assistant. She said her son has received an excellent education at the school and hopes it continues.
"There's still a lot of animosity," Miller said. "I don't want any more hurt feelings."

Please try performing a clean install of SetPoint 4.6. Additionally, are you using any other Bluetooth devices on your system? The MX3200 itself has no Bluetooth capability.
Thanks CJChew for your quick reply. I did exactly what you recommended but still have the same problem. However, you asked if I am using any other Bluetooth devices on my system. I have a Dell XPS/Dimension 420 with a 9 in 1 media card reader with Bluetooth. Could that be the problem? Also in the Control Panel, System, Device Manager there is an (!) exclamation point next to BT Mini-Receiver. Could that be the problem? If I could just get a driver for the mouse without loading Setpoint I would be happy. I just want to be able to configure the extra buttons on the mouse and with a generic driver or without running Setpoint I can't access those extra buttons.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.
Looks like it could be a problem with the driver. Does the driver with the exclamation point have any error messages?
Hi CJChew,
First, thanks for your patience in this matter and for your continued support.
There is no error message next to the exclamation point but when I right click on the device (BT Mini-Receiver) and go to Properties, this is what it says...
"The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.
To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver."
When I click on Reinstall Driver, it says, "Windows could not find driver software for your device."
Afternoon all,
I thought I would add my experience to this thread as I was looking for a solution to a similar problem to this.
I have a Logitech Wave Keyboard and Mouse combo and a Dell Dimension XPS 420 running Vista. I also got the 19 in 1 media card reader (for free and thought why not) and I can see it has Bluetooth as it has the Bluetooth logo lit in blue which means it is enabled.
I started out with the CD which came with the hardware which was SetPoint 4.0a which works fine.
However, I re-built my PC not long after and tried the newer version of SetPoint at the time. I couldn't get it to work but couldn't be bothered to solve it so re-installed 4.0a again which worked fine.
I've just re-built again from scratch so the PC is running Vista SP2 and all the other latest bits and pieces so it is as reliable as it can be.
This time, I upgraded the firmware of my Logitech Mini-Reciever to 15 and installed SetPoint 4.72.
Unfortunately, I experienced this '23%' issue which is the reason for this thread.
After some investigation, the Bluetooth article which you can access from within the SetPoint 4.72 software under TOOLS > <Bluetooth Symbol> gives the reason as to why I think this issue occurs.
It states that when installing the software, if it detects any kind of Bluetooth stack, it will not install it's own quote 'as you are happy with everything working as it is now' or something similar to this.
So what I believe is happening is the 19 in 1 reader with Bluetooth installs the native stack with Vista, and then SetPoint wont install it's own because of this.
Then you are left without the Bluetooth Mini-Receiver being installed which means the wizard which is trying to enable it so that it can be used for other Bluetooth devices but cannot see it correctly and freezes.
The workaround to this issue is to power off the PC, remove the right hand side of the case and remove the small plug to disconnect the 19 in 1 reader which will disable the Bluetooth included. Then remove SetPoint and re-install the latest version.
However, as I do not use my reader, this is the end of the issue for me and now I get no wizard starting each time.
What I have not tried is plugging it back in and booting yet. I will try this but if it doesn't work, I will just leave my reader disconnected. If it does work, no problem either - problem solved.
At least this will get round the wizard trying to run each time you startup and the Bluetooth tab will disappear when the 19 in 1 reader is not connected should re-connecting the reader and booting not work.
@ Logitech - I think Logitech should revise SetPoint to give users a radio button choice of whether or not they have already setup Bluetooth and have everything they want working properly or not - rather than make the assumption they are (not everyone uses Bluetooth you know!).
If they do have Bluetooth setup and working fine how they want it - the software should do what it does now and leave well alone. If not, like me who doesn't really use Bluetooth, it should bulldoze in and set itself up so it is working and this issue is avoided.
Hope this information helps.
Best regards,
OK, not such great news.
I ended up plugging back in the 19 in 1 reader and found the wizard ran again up to 23% and stopped.
Then I tried disconnecting the 19 in 1 reader but now the wizard appears and stops at 0%.
If I re-run the wizard - it tells me it cannot find the integrated Bluetooth and to enable the integrated Bluetooth.
I have a suspicion that the 19 in 1 Bluetooth adapter is either messing up the installation and/or is now involved in some way.
If I disconnect the Mini-Receiver, I cannot use the keyboard and mouse.
I guess there are a number of solutions here:
1) Rebuild the PC again but do not ever connect the 19 in 1 reader.
2) Get the keyboard and mouse to use the 19 in 1 reader Bluetooth adapter rendering the supplied Mini-Receiver redundant.
3) Find a way to re-setup the SetPoint software again so that it uses the Mini-Receiver (a clean install does not do this).
Any ideas Logitech?
Best regards,
Having done some further investigation - it looks like the BT Mini-Receiver is not installed correctly.
Apparently the Logitech software does not install a Bluetooth stack so I can only guess that SetPoint did not bother to install drivers for the BT Mini-Receiver on the basis that I would be using the Bluetooth Adapter in the 19 in 1 reader.
I think the solution will be to install the BT Mini-Receiver so that it appears under 'Bluetooth Devices' in Device Manager.
However, this is tricky as I cannot find drivers separately for it and SetPoint wont install them as I guess because it assumes you are happy with what you have setup already.
Can Logitech provide these drivers separately for download to resolve this problem?
Many thanks,
OK so I finally worked out how to solve this - it's not really anything to do with Logitech.
The drivers which are missing for the BT Mini-Receiver are Dell drivers (c/o whoever actually makes the software which I think is WIDCOMM).
Anyhow, if you have BT Mini-Receiver in your Device Manager in Other Devices, the chances are that you have the 19 in 1 reader with Bluetooth module which you can see in one of your drive bays on the front of the PC.
The XPS 420 is not actually a Dimension, it is just a Dell XPS Desktop 420.
Find this model on the Dell website at your location and under Support, go Drivers and Downloads and choose your model of PC. Then expand the section for CD/DVD and download both the Dell - Application and Dell - Driver for the Media Card Reader with Integrated Bluetooth Module (CAB-200). Then extract and install the driver and then the application software.
This will install the BT Mini-Receiver and the Bluetooth Connection Assistant within the Logitech SetPoint software will be able to run and complete.
The only issue I found was that I had to skip the keyboard and mouse installation sections as despite hitting CONNECT, the wizard was not able to see either the mouse or keyboard although they are already working so I am wondering if this is an issue to do with having two Bluetooth adapters effectively.
However, everything else seems to work and the wizard does not popup after a reboot.
Hope this helps.
John, you're a genius and a lifesaver.
And, Logitech clearly needs to enhance Bluetooth Connection Assistant so that the customer has the option of simply disabling and terminating it if it hangs and is unneeded by the customer. That way the customer has a five-second solution in the event that BCA hangs.

A biking buddy was a machinist for many years before switching to trucking. First by choice, now out of necessity. He had a rude awakening to how patient he needed to be....driving something that big with an ocean of ignoramuses all around him. Regional isn't so tough. At least you get home most weekends.
He takes a bike with him for the times when he's in a reasonably bike-friendly area.

My Blog, a mix of bicycling, tech, and family.
I drove for Schneider for a little over a year.
Best piece of advice I can give you is to buy a folding bike. I bought a Dahon Boardwalk. Folded it just fit under my bunk. Came in really handy when I was stuck somewhere for truck service or I'd run out of hours. But the hours are really long and it cut into my riding, family life and social life. So I drove locally for a while after that.
Did get to see a lot of things that were pretty cool. And some things that were just unbelievably stupid.
A couple of other things I'd recommend is a CB radio and a laptop with an aircard.
Why the hell would I want to buy one? No Motor, did you even look at my sig?
You all can see I'm kind of a misanthrope anyway. And I worked as a tugboat deckhand for years and years, working 12 hours a day for 28 on and 28 off. So I know my way around a Diesel engine and am very familiar with the concept of inertia. And I'm a hell of a good driver.
But at 44 years old, I just can't sling the rigging the way I used to on deck, and the back injuries I've sustained over the years make me less-than-desireable to hire these days. Crying shame, too, because with about 200 more working days, I'll have enough accumulated sea-time to sit for my 600-ton master's papers, and a whole lot more endorsements (I already am a tankerman, a lifeboatman, an able-bodied seaman, HAZMAT cert, and some time in working sail). It'd be nice but let me tell you about Mother Mother Ocean: That hag tried to kill me! So I am taking my oar inland and when I get to where the first person asks me what I'm carrying, I'm going to call that Fiddler's Green and plant some roots. Just not too deep. I like to travel.
I just literally do not know a damn thing about the industry. What to avoid, what to notice as a good thing, what kind of training I'll need-- all of that. I've got an appointment tomorrow for a brief sit-down with the CEO of a transfer corp in the town I grew up in (I went to school with one of her kids) and hopefully she'll clue me in on some of this. I just don't want to be a total ****** when I walk through the door.
I am used to stupid. I worked with Kentuckians for just years on end.
