WTOS INI files contain the parameters and associated values necessary for the various functionality you want.
For examples of parameters commonly used for basic deployments, see Basic Deployment Examples.
You can construct the following INI files:
The INI file processing hierarchy is as follows:
For sample INI files, see Sample INI files.
A wnos.ini file contains the "global" parameters you want that will affect all zero clients accessing the file server. Parameters in both WNOS INI only parameters and WNOS INI, username INI, and $MAC INI parameters can be used in a wnos.ini file.
Parameters in WNOS INI only parameters can only be used in a wnos.ini file; they cannot be used in a {username}.ini file.
A $MAC.ini file can be used for device-specific configurations. If the thin client locates a wnos.ini file, then the wnos.ini file is processed and if the Include=$MAC.ini statement is included, then the $MAC.ini file is processed (the $MAC.ini file is stored in the same directory as a wnos.ini file if you are not using a wnos.ini file, otherwise the files should be stored in the INC directory).
Note also that the placement of the include=$MAC.ini parameter within the wnos.ini file will dictate which value will take priority for a same specific parameter that is contained in both the wnos.ini file and the $MAC.ini file but is defined differently (different values for the same parameter).
For example, if the wnos.ini file has parameterA=valueRED, and the $MAC.ini file has the same parameterA=valueBLUE, then:
A {username}.ini file contains the user-specific or "user profile" parameters you want that will comprise the connection profile for an individual user. These parameters will affect only the user you specify. Parameters in WNOS INI, username INI, and $MAC INI parameters can be used in a {username}.ini file.
"User profile" parameters (found in the {username}.ini file) generally override the identically named "global" parameters (found in the wnos.ini file), however, some "global" parameters do not allow this (for hierarchical precedence of one variable over another, refer to the parameter notations in WNOS INI, username INI, and $MAC INI parameters ).
If both PNAgent/PNLite and a user profile are being used in the environment, the username must be defined in the Windows domain to be used, and the password used must be the same for both the Windows domain and the user profile.
In general, WTOS INI files follow currently accepted "standard" INI file formatting conventions. WTOS INI files consist of WTOS parameters. If you are using an INI file, the only parameter you must use is the Connect parameter. Any other parameters can be entered as you require, but are not mandatory unless changes from defaults are required or the parameter is noted as required in the tables. Every parameter (and their options) has a name and a value with the name appearing to the left of the equals sign (name=value). All parameters with the same name in the various INI files have the same meaning (that is, a parameter named XYZ in a wnos.ini file and named XYZ in a {username}.ini file will have the same meaning). Number signs (#) indicate the start of a comment. Comments can begin anywhere on a line. Everything between the # and the End of Line is ignored.
Along with these general formatting conventions, use the following guidelines when constructing WTOS INI files:
No parameter should ever be executed twice. Some WTOS hardware configuration parameters require a reboot to become active, and if the same parameters are defined more than once, the zero client may then go into an infinite reboot cycle.
Placing the include=<$mac.ini or {username}> statement on the last line of the wnos.ini file (to verify that all parameters are processed properly for terminal-specific settings) is recommended.
|Serial number used
|MAC address used.
|IP Address used.
|Terminal name.
|Platform name (the first part of image name xxx_wnos, for example, ZC0)
|Sign-in name used.
|Sign-in password used.
|Sign-in domain name used.
|PEAP/MSCHAPv2 username used (802.1x dependent).
|PEAP/MSCHAPv2 password used (802.1x dependent).
|PEAP/MSCHAPv2 domain used (802.1x dependent).
|&Right($xx, i) or &Left($xx, i)
Specifies whether the variable is to be read from left or right.
The $xx is any of the above parameters.
The parameter i specifies left or right offset digits.
If you have set up your environment to provide your zero clients running WTOS with automatic updates and configurations (as described in Administration Guide for Cisco VXC 2112/2212), you can use the following folder structure on your server under the C:/inetpub/ftproot folder (for FTP) or C:/inetpub/wwwroot folder (for HTTP or HTTPS) and place your INI files and other necessary files inside the structure as noted (this list describes the folder structure, starting with the root directory).
(Required) The root directory. It stores the wnos folder.
(Required) The main INI configuration folder. It stores the wnos.ini file, {username}.ini file, $MAC.ini file, firmware, and the following optional folders:
(Optional) The folder where you can place custom images you plan to use.
(Optional) The folder where you can place the CA certificates that can be imported to a zero client.
(Optional) The folder where you can place font files for languages that require the file (Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese, Korean).
(Optional) The folder where you can place the mac.ini files (note that the use of the parameter Include=$mac.ini will load "/wnos/inc/ mac-address.ini" so that you can use inc in the folder structure and use $MAC.ini).
(Optional) The folder where you can place the {username}.ini files and {group} folder.
(Optional) The folder where you can place locale message files.
(Optional) The folder where you can place the trace files that you can capture and play back (be sure to enable the parameter, EnableTrace=yes).

I don't want a third gun or second bug. I am looking for a single cartridge that would preform best.
How about a change in tactics and practicing for such an event? As JohnKSa pointed out, there are loads in every common service caliber to choose from here:
You might want to take the advice of Massad Ayoob and practice with your first shot placed Center of Mass with a follow up shot to the pelvic area just under vest level. If a perp were wearing a vest and didn't go down with the first shot CoM, that second round to the pelvis will at least take him off his feet. In your situation, I'd feel pretty comfortable with my 13+1 rounds of .45 ACP in the XDm 4.5, but since penetration after barrier testing was first conducted by the Texas DPS, you might want to take a page from their book and look into the .357 SIG. The load I use personally in .45 ACP is not on the FBI list for whatever reason, but in tests I've done shooting into water filled milk jugs, I get better penetration with excellent expansion with the Remington 185 gr. +P Golden Saber that has penetrated better than 230 gr. JHPs. And like the DPS, I believe in hedging all my bets first with shot placement, and by using a load that delivers 500 Ft/Lbs of KE into what I'm shooting at.

(RSF/IFEX) - The following is a 26 May 2005 RSF capsule report:
RSF has strongly condemned the latest attack on press freedom in Uzbekistan in which cameraman Vladislav Chekoyan of Russian TVTs was assaulted on 21 May 2005 by Uzbek border guards on the Uzbekistan-Kyrgyzstan border.
Chekoyan was filming a demonstration by about 1,000 people on a bridge in Kara-Suu, over the River Charkhansai, which separates the two countries. The demonstrators were demanding the release of insurgents arrested in Kara-Suu by Uzbek forces on 18 and 19 May. Guards also seized Chekoyan's camera and mobile phone
"This latest assault on press freedom shows that the use of violence against journalists is common practice for the Uzbek authorities, as is the use of disinformation to control the media," the organisation said.
"We therefore call on President Islam Karimov to do his utmost to guarantee freedom of information in Uzbekistan and to immediately stop this policy of lying, as the country is going through a crucial step in its political and social development."
For five days following the mass shootings in Andijan on 13 May, the town was cut off from the outside world.
In another incident, three journalists who tried to get to Andijan in the days after 13 May have been sent back. Journalist Dmitri Yasminov and cameraman Viktor Muzalevsky, of Russian REN-TV, were held for two hours at a checkpoint a few kilometres from Andijan on 14 May. Alexei Ivliev, of Russian NTV, who was working in the Andijan area, was forced to return to the capital Tashkent under police escort on 14 May.
A press trip, which was entirely controlled by the authorities, allowed some 30 journalists and foreign diplomats to visit the town for a few hours on 18 May. None of them was allowed to talk to residents or to visit School No 15 which was used as a morgue after the 13 May shootings that reportedly left up to 1,000 civilians dead.
On the same day, a team led by journalist Sviatoslav Tsegolko of Kanal 5 television was arrested on arrival at Tashkent airport. The journalists were held by customs for six hours on the grounds that they had no official accreditation. Their equipment was also seized. The Kanal 5 crew was finally able to go to Andijan after an intervention by the Ukrainian embassy.
Elsewhere, Uzbek authorities have stepped up their disinformation campaign since the European Union, the United States and the UN called for an independent international inquiry into the bloody events of 13 May.
On 21 May, First Deputy Prime Minister Rustam Azimov sent instructions to all Uzbek media outlets on how to cover the events in Andijan.
On the same day, President Karimov's press service told the Russian news agency RIA Novosti that "several media, including dubious websites, [were] putting out subversive information that the situation [was] not stable in Andijan, while this absolutely does not correspond to the facts."
On 22 May, Uzbek media outlets also hammered home the message that news being put out by international media should not be believed and lambasted the idea of an international investigation. "It's like someone coming to your home and telling you that he wants to raise your children," an old man introduced as an Andijan resident told the state-run television news.
A majority of the most popular Uzbek and Russian independent websites are still being blocked by the state provider, including http://www.fergana.ru, http://www.uzland.uz, http://freeuz.org and http://www.tribune-uz.info.
The Russian site http://www.utro.ru, as well as those of the daily "Nézavissimaya gazeta" (http://www.ng.ru), NTV (http://www.ntv.ru) and "Radio Svoboda" (http://www.svoboda.org) are also inaccessible in the country. Uzbek Internet-users can only get as far as the home pages of http://www.lenta.ru, http://www.gazeta.ru and http://www.newsru.com.
President Karimov denies that the army fired into the crowd without warning on 13 May, leaving between 500 and 1,000 people dead in Andijan and the east of the country. According to Karimov, 169 insurgents died in clashes with army and security forces. On 20 May, the UN confirmed that the Uzbek president had rejected the idea of an independent investigation into the violence.
CAPSULE REPORT: Two weeks after Andijan, media crackdown continues
(RSF/IFEX) - The following is a 26 May 2005 RSF capsule report:


text:
David R. Jones, President & CEO of the Community Service Society of New York [3] (CSS), weighed in [1] this week in on the continuing trend of racial disparities in New York City's Specialized High Schools and Mayor Bloomberg's insensitive response.
CSS is one of nearly a dozen organizations that signed on as complainants in LDF's federal civil rights complaint [2] challenging the New York City Department of Education's discriminatory admissions policies for the Specialized High Schools. Last week the New York City Department of Education released the admissions results from the 2012 administration of SHSAT. According to Jones: "We challenged the city's use of a single test that has never been validated as a predictor of academic success to determine admission to New York's elite Specialized High Schools because this admissions process works to exclude black and Latino students. This filing was met with outright hostility by Mayor Bloomberg, who was quoted as saying in response to the case that, in effect, life isn't fair ("Bloomberg To Minorities Rejected By Elite High Schools: Life's Not Fair [4]," Gothamist.com, September 28, 2012)….Life continues not to be fair to blacks and Latinos under the mayor's watch. Late Friday afternoon, long after newspapers had been printed, the city revealed that the schools problem hadn't improved but, in fact, has become substantially worse. Of the 5,229 students accepted to the city's eight Specialized High Schools this year, only 618 were black or Hispanic, a decline of nearly 16 percent in one year alone ("Fewer black and Hispanic students admitted to top high schools [5],") Gothamschools.org, March 15, 2013). At this rate of decline, six years from now there will be no black and Hispanic students admitted at all."

Image Search Before Google
In the days before the Internet, when people wanted to share what places looked like, they often used photographs and mailed them. One easy and convenient way to do this was to mail post cards.
So the other day, my mom calls me and says, "I have I bunch of old post cards, I was going to throw them away, but then I thought you might like them." Now in my marriage, I'm the pack rat collector and my wife is the organized one. I'm getting better, but if I have a buddy who says, "Hey Nate, I've got ten five-gallon buckets, do you want them?" My first inclination is to bring them home, because you never know when you might use them. My wife doesn't see things the same way. She looks at them and thinks, oh great, more junk he won't use, how long must I let him keep these until I can toss them without his notice.
So, being the thoughtful husband, I told my mom, "No, go ahead and toss them." I immediately had second thoughts and said, "Wait, tell you what, bring them over, I'll take a quick look through them and then toss them."
When I came home, I was in for a surprise. I had wrongly assumed that my mother was talking about a few post cards from maybe the 1980s or what not. There in my living room was a large sack of post cards mostly addressed to my great-grandmother, and many of them about 100 years old or so with penny postage.
So I've been having the time of my life going through the sack. Before too long I'll start scanning them and posting them here. Unfortunately for my wife, all the work my she had put in getting me to say, "Oh, that's okay, I don't need it," has for the time being, been completely undone.

WOW! What a treasure! Sure glad your mom didn't throw them out!

So glad you caught yourself in time and have these delightful items to go through! How about a picture of the big sackful?
- February 16, 2011 1:33 PM
I think it's always a good idea to look at something before deciding what to do with it!
Also, Nate, it seems to me surprising that you and I don't look more alike, since we seem to think so much alike...(though I suspect your thoughts are often deeper than mine.)
I hope you enjoy this new treasure and find a way to eventually pass along what you don't keep.

I scan and use turn of the century postcards and pictures in craft projects. There are those who will pay quite a bit of money for them on the collectors market. Although, since there is family history there, they might better be kept in an archival binder or some such. That would be a lovely bit of history for the family genealogist.
- February 16, 2011 5:27 PM
A treasure trove! can't wait to see them. At my house, we are opposite. I'm the "yes, don't throw it away" person and he's the "we don't need that" guy.
- February 16, 2011 8:36 PM
I hope those cards weren't in the garage - I heard a rumor the garage was cleaned recently. :) jjane

I have a family treasure like this myself. Don't forget to check out Ebay. I was amazed at the market. It is truly amazing to hold a family postcard that was posted 100 years ago. Have fun sorting it all out. I would imagine you will find lots of bits to trigger your history buff brain.

Buckets you can replace. Family heirlooms you can't replace. Okay, I'm a packrat, too, but it absolutely enrages me when one of these organizational idiots on television or in BH&G advises people to "take a picture of that Christening Gown then give it to Goodwill. That's the way you honor it." Nonsense! Your grandchildren can't wear a photograph to their own Christening, and your descendants might like to hold in their hands something of family history. I remember being in the Livingston County Courthouse in Kentucky and holding in my hand, the marriage license application that my great-grandfather filled out in the 1840s. We have almost no family memorabilia because of the 1937 flood, so I was overjoyed to find this document. Sadly they were going digital and probably destroyed everything after it was recorded.
Yea Nate for saving the postcards.

Hi there
I am hoping that this is a rather simple fix that someone will be able to help with. I have recently installed SS on two machines, the first it worked fine but the 2nd on my laptop is having the following issue (both copied from firebug)...
missing formal parameter
Line 6138
missing formal parameter
setPluginBaseURL : function(n,
Both IE 6 and 7, and also Firefox have the same issue.
The fix seemed rather straight forward except when I go in to the above file, there appears to be nothing wrong and the line is complete...
setPluginBaseURL : function(n, u) {
I have tried a number of things i.e. doing windows update, downgrading from IE7 to 6, installing Firefox, even tried adding firebug (which didn't let me edit the file, not that I really know how to use it).
This is the reported error I get from the browsers, but the main issue that I am trying to fix is that when I am viewing pages inside the CMS I am unable to add content as the content field appears as a thin grey line. I've tried other page types e.g. redirect page type, and the drop down list appears for me to select from. The problem is the content field not coming up so I can not do a lot with my pages.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Valparaiso (8-5-2, 2-2-1 Horizon)
Win puts Crusaders into HL Championship
Saturday, Oct. 26 - at Detroit (8-7-1, 2-3-0) - noon CT
This Week in Crusader Soccer: The Valparaiso women's soccer team can clinch a berth into the Horizon League Championship this weekend, as the Crusaders look for their second straight road win Saturday afternoon at Detroit.
Previously: A pair of goals early in the second half proved to be more than enough for the Crusaders on Saturday in a 2-0 win at Youngstown State. Rita Craven scored less than three minutes into the second period, and Robin Wenzel added her first career goal in the 57th minute for some insurance in the road win.
Following the Crusaders: Live stats for the match at Detroit will be available through ValpoAthletics.com.
Head Coach John Marovich: John Marovich holds a 52-40-19 record both overall and with Valpo entering his sixth season at the helm of the Brown and Gold. Just the third head coach in program history, Marovich has the best winning percentage (.554) ever at Valpo, and ranks second in total victories.
Series Notes: The Titans own a 6-3-0 advantage in the all-time series over the Crusaders, but it was Valpo which came out victorious in the last meeting in Valparaiso on Oct. 6, 2012, 1-0. The Crusaders got a goal from Jordyn Ryfiak with just 3:22 to play for the win, while Kristen Manski made six saves in the shutout.
Scouting the Opposition: Detroit enters this weekend with an 8-7-1 overall record and is right in the middle of a pack of teams in the league standings on six points at 2-3-0. The Titans have scored 29 goals overall this season, led by six from Alyssa Riley who also leads the team with 15 total points, but have scored just four times in their five Horizon League matches. Martha Dunbar has seen the vast majority of time at goalkeeper and owns a 1.30 GAA with five shutouts.
Crusaders Picked Fifth in Preseason Poll: The head coaches selected Valparaiso to finish in fifth place in the Horizon League this season according to the preseason poll. Detroit was picked to win the league, while Valpo was just seven points behind second-place Wright State.
Looking Back at 2012: Last season's Crusader squad posted a 10-6-3 record, including a 3-2-2 mark in Horizon League action, en route to not only becoming the stingiest team in program history, but also pacing the nation defensively. Valpo's team GAA of 0.51 led all Division I programs, the first national statistical championship for the women's soccer program, while the Crusaders also set a new program single-season record with 11 shutouts.
Clinching a Berth: It's a simple scenario for Valpo to clinch a spot in the Horizon League Championship this weekend: beat Detroit, earn three points and the Crusaders are in the tournament. Entering the weekend one point up on Cleveland State, Detroit and Youngstown State for fourth place, Valpo could also clinch a spot in the six-team field with a draw, coupled with a loss or tie by both Youngstown State and Green Bay. The Crusaders are very much still alive for a top-two placement and the corresponding bye into the semifinals, while Valpo does still maintain a mathematical possibility at claiming the regular season title.
Manski Earns Second League Honor of Season: Senior goalkeeper Kristen Manski was named the Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week after posting her second consecutive shutout in Valpo's win at YSU last weekend. Not only did Manski make four saves in keeping the clean sheet, she also contributed offensively, earning an assist on Valpo's insurance goal for her second career point. Manski leads the Horizon League with a 0.70 GAA and eight shutouts on the season, while her clean sheet at YSU was the 30th of her career, second-most in league history.
Spreading the Wealth: While the Crusaders have scored just 15 goals in 15 games this season, numerous players have gotten in on the scoring. Nine different players have scored the 15 goals, with Rita Craven picking up her second goal of the year and Robin Wenzel finding the back of the net for the first time in her career most recently at YSU. The Crusaders have also had 14 total assists on the 15 markers, which have come from 11 different players. In all, 16 of the 23 Crusaders who have played this year have at least one point.
Youth Shall Be Served: Senior Hailey Chmela has scored two goals for the Crusaders this year, but take her pair of tallies away, and all 12 of the remaining goals (not counting an own goal) have been scored by underclassmen for Valpo. Sophomores have scored seven goals for Valpo, led by three from Jenny Fassbinder, while four different freshmen have combined for five goals.
Dominance at Home: In its first season using Brown Field as its primary home field, Valpo has been nearly perfect at home so far this year. The Crusaders are 7-1-1 at home, losing only on a late penalty kick to Miami (Ohio), and have given up just two goals in the run of play. Valpo is now 16-5-4 all-time at Brown Field. On the flip side, the Crusaders earned their first road win of the season last time out at Youngstown State, as they are now 1-4-1 away from home.
Big Victories: Already this season, the Crusaders have won a pair of games over BCS opponents. Valpo lifted the lid on the 2013 campaign with a win over DePaul, the Crusaders' first-ever win over a team from any power conference (Big East). Then, Northwestern came to Brown Field on Sept. 5 and left 1-0 losers, as Valpo won its first-ever game over a Big Ten squad.
End of a Defensive Streak: Valpo surrendered two goals in its loss to Evansville, ending a remarkable stretch of defensive play by the Crusaders. You had to go back over a calendar year (378 days to be exact) to find the last time Valpo had given up more than one goal in a match: a 3-1 loss at Iowa on Sept. 2, 2012. The Crusaders went 21 straight matches giving up either one or zero goals each time out, posting a team GAA of 0.32 during that stretch.

Call it the Code of Brent Sutter. Harsh words can be permissible. No wimpy hand wringers here. The longer-term reaction from the players, however, remains to be seen, on this team that has had eight different coaches in the past 10 seasons.
To some, the Devils coach's so-public bench critique of Jamie Langenbrunner Saturday would border on rebellion-inciting disrespect. To others, the captain's response could qualify as insubordination. Each said both were neither.
The Penguins are visiting the Devils tonight, trying to improve their perfect record in Newark to three games, yet the juicy topic in Devildom yesterday remained the verbal eruption between the coach and the captain during Saturday's 6-3 victory over the visiting Kings.
Langenbrunner nearly duplicated an earlier error by Arron Asham, and Los Angeles' Jack Johnson ducked behind his back to close the Devils' lead to one goal. When Langenbrunner returned to the bench, Sutter let him have it. And Langenbrunner gave it back. All on camera.
"I know my nature. Maybe I'm going to argue anyway when I'm wrong, just for the sake of arguing," Langenbrunner said. "He's an emotional guy. He understands it.
"I don't look at it as any disrespect. If he tells me I screwed up and calls me on it, that's the way it's supposed to be," Langebrunner said. "If you do it all the time or in a way that you're trying to show him up, that's one thing. If you do it in the heat of battle, that's another thing. I was badgering him to a fault, but I hope he didn't lose any sleep over it. I didn't lose any sleep over it.
Sutter also treated the incident as unimportant history.
"He was maybe a little frustrated with what happened and released some of that frustration. The intentions were all good," Sutter said. "I'm not always one to let things [fester]. Sometimes it's on the bench, sometimes it's between periods. I didn't know [cameras saw]. I didn't care.
"It's not always going to be soft love that does it. I'm not going to change as a coach. I've challenged players on the bench. It's happened before. This time, everyone saw it and it was the captain."
They both said it's over and done with. It is, unless it happens again and becomes a problem.
Jay Pandolfo said he would use this morning's skate to determine if he will return to action tonight from the abdominal sprain he suffered Nov. 28, idling him 28 games. . . .

Interruption: To break the uniformity or continuity
The original concept was to manifest an interruption. It was determined that the interruption would occur in between the firm and the residences, dividing their very polar programmatic responsibilities. As a catalyst to the interruption a boundary was designed. Boundary: "Area Rule: rather than follow the strict linearity of the given system and string together a series of isolated, discrete architectural objects, we have developed the interventions on the basis of existing property lines, articulated surfaces, and contiguous areas. Surfaces fold up and form structure, blurring the strict division of architecture and landscape" (Columbia, 12). In order to define the boundary as a literal-tangible space a natural landscape was instilled within the threshold. The landscape creates a void. The void is what differentiates this system based upon interruption from the typical system recognized as a mixed-use building.

With the run-up to WPPI 2010 in Las Vegas, I didn't have the time to mention my latest entries to the Alive for 365 project. My choice for week 9 is this image which I titled a very obvious, "Cappuccino".
The slightly surreal image is part of a London cityscape, with a double-decker bus whizzing past. The lettering in the sky is actually the lettering in the coffee-shop's window. I had flipped the image around to have the word read correctly. I also juiced up the drab colors a bit with Topaz Adjust 4. Big news! Topaz just improved on it with a free upgrade to version 4.
If you do order Topaz Adjust (or any Topaz product) through that affiliate link, use the discount code 'planetneil' for a 15% discount off any item in your shopping cart. (There is also another time-limited discount in effect on their website.)
The effect that I used was the Psychedelic setting in Adjust 4. I pulled down the opacity, and even then masked the sky to reduce the effect further on the sky …
Here is the original image:

A look at the journalism industrys recent spate of plagiarism and fabrication cases and other transgressions:
By Kara Wedekind Wedekind is an AJR editorial assistant.
MIT Technology Review removes two articles from its Web site by freelance writer Michelle Delio because the magazine could not verify the existence of sources or the accuracy of the articles. The review subsequently found source verification problems in five more of Delio's articles. On May 9, Wired News said it could not find sources in 24 stories Delio did for the magazine. The writer told the MIT Technology Review that she had deleted e-mails from her sources but that all of her quotes were legitimate.
April 8
The Detroit Free Press announces that it is launching an investigation into sports columnist Mitch Albom's work because one of his columns, filed April 1, reported events that didn't happen. Albom described two NBA players in the stands of an April 2 NCAA basketball game. The players were not at the game, though they had told Albom that they would be there. The Free Press' investigation found no evidence of similar deceptions but did uncover several instances in which the columnist did not attribute quotes taken from other news organizations and times when Albom slightly altered those quotes. On April 23, the paper announced that Albom and four others would be disciplined but did not specify their punishments.
April 14
Peter Gammons of ESPN.com issues a "reader's note" explaining that he did not cite material from Los Angeles Times reporter Steve Henson in a sidebar to one of Gammons' columns.
April 15
The Boston Globe says it will no longer use freelance writer Barbara Stewart who fabricated a story on a Canadian seal hunt. The hunt was delayed a day due to inclement weather, yet Stewart reported that it had already happened. Stewart was not at the site where the hunt was to take place but wrote as if she were.
April 19
The Los Angeles Times says it fired reporter Eric Slater after his March 29 article about Cal State Chico fraternity hazing was found to contain numerous inaccuracies, several named and unnamed sources that could not be verified, fabrications and wrongly attributed information.
April 23
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution announces the resignation of staff writer Al Levine, saying he plagiarized passages from the Daytona Beach News-Journal and the Orlando Sentinel in two articles about the Daytona 500 race.
April 28
Tampa Tribune Executive Editor Janet S. Weaver says in a statement that reporter Brad Smith resigned after fabricating part of an article on the towing industry. Smith wrote about a woman leaving a night club and discovering her Jeep had been towed. While the car had been towed, the woman was at home that night and had lent the Jeep to a friend.
May 6
USA Today announces that Tom Squitieri, a staff writer, did not attribute quotes from a 2004 Indianapolis Star article that he used in a March 28 piece. Squitieri apologized and resigned.
May 12
The Sacramento Bee announces that Diana Griego Erwin, a columnist, resigned during the paper's investigation of fabrication charges against her. The examination ultimately looked at Griego Erwin's work during 12 years at the Bee and found 43 sources that could not be verified. The columnist denied any wrongdoing and said she had quit because of personal problems.
May 19
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel says it has begun to investigate the work of a high school intern and freelancer, Nazish Ahmad, who used passages from a March 7 Miami Herald article without attribution in her May 18 story. The review found that Ahmad used material without attribution in five of 10 of her articles.
June 2
Chris Cecil, associate managing editor for the Daily Tribune News in Cartersville, Georgia, is fired after the Miami Herald alerted the newspaper that some sections of Cecil's columns were taken from Herald columnist Leonard Pitts Jr.'s work. Pitts, tipped off by a reader to the theft, had pinpointed eight instances of plagiarism.
June 18
Newsday reports that Alex Storozynski, editor of amNewYork, a free commuter paper published by Tribune Co., resigned after officials discovered that his June 1 story contained unattributed passages from washingtonpost.com. Storozynski said his departure was due to a conflict with Tribune Co.'s managerial style.
June 24
American Public Media's "Marketplace" radio program apologizes for a June 13 segment in which Gabriel Wisdom, a freelance contributor, stole passages from Slate. "Marketplace" found five other similar instances, and Wisdom was subsequently dropped from the program. He claimed that he was not a journalist and was not aware of journalistic standards.

Recently I showed you how to use Roku USB Media Player to watch your videos that aren't available for streaming. Unfortunately, it only supports MKV and MP4 (H.264) file types. If you have a lot of AVI files that need converting, my favorite free video converter is HandBrake.
First, download and install the latest version of HandBrake if you don't have it already. It's available for Windows, Mac and Linux. For this article I am using the Windows version, but the process is essentially the same in Mac and Linux.
Installation is straight forward following the install wizard. After it's installed go ahead and launch HandBrake.
Browse to the destination directory where you want the converted file to be placed after it's converted.
Now click Source and select Video File from the dropdown.
Then browse to the location of the AVI file you want to convert and double click on it. Under Source you'll see the AVI file name, its length and other info.
For the Output Settings, set the Container to MP4 File. If you want to tweak the output settings you can. I've had good luck leaving the Preset to Normal with all the defaults.
Keep in mind I am converting the file to play on my Roku. If you're converting the AVI file for another device, I recommend using one of the presets for the device you're going to be playing the video on.
Click Start to begin the encoding process. While it's working, the progress is displayed in the lower left corner of the UI along with the amount of time remaining.
That's it. The encoding process has finished successfully.
Now go into the destination directory you set up and you'll see the MP4 file.
Now you can transfer it to the device you want to watch the video on. I will play the video in VLC to verify the encoding process was successful and it's not corrupted.
HandBrake is arguably the best utility for converting video files. I use it quite a bit when converting Blu-ray discs to MKV format. Not to mention, it's completely free.

The Tennessee Volunteers beat two of the No. 1 seeds in the NCAA tournament this season. It hasn't helped them.
For the third consecutive year, the Volunteers were less than thrilled with their seed.
The NCAA tournament seeded Tennessee sixth in the Midwest Region on Sunday even though the Vols were ranked 15th this week and had an RPI of 14. Tennessee (25-8), which received its fifth consecutive NCAA tournament bid, will play No. 11 seed San Diego State (25-8) on Thursday in Providence, R.I.
Vols coach Bruce Pearl was mostly diplomatic in response to the surprising bracket announcement - Tennessee expected a No. 4 or No. 5 seed - but his players were clearly disappointed.
"We weren't in the neighborhood where we thought we'd be," Pearl said. "I guess they think we're one of the Top 24 teams in the country and not the Top 16 or 20."
Tennessee's players were more vocal with their displeasure.
"I've been here three years and this has happened every single year," junior center Brian Williams said. "A 5 would have been a little off, but I could see that. But a 6? Man, that's crazy."
Senior point guard Bobby Maze thought beating No. 1 Kansas and No. 2 Kentucky and winning 25 games against a tough schedule should have carried more weight with the NCAA tournament selection committee.
"This is just ammunition and fuel, as far as I'm concerned," Maze said. "We're even more fired up now. I'm about to go get in some extra shots in the gym right now because of this."
San Diego State finished fourth in the Mountain West Conference regular season standings but secured the league's automatic NCAA bid on Saturday by beating UNLV 55-45 in the conference tournament championship game. The Aztecs were one of four MWC teams invited to the tournament, joining No. 8 New Mexico, No. 14 Brigham Young and UNLV.
Tennessee finished third in the Southeastern Conference regular season standings and lost to Kentucky on Saturday in the tournament semifinal.
If Tennessee advances, the Vols likely would meet No. 3 seed Georgetown on Saturday.

Tenn. Doctor in Quarantine After Ebola Outbreak: 'I'm Feeling Well'
ABC Digital
Health & Fitness
Updated at
(MORRISTOWN, Tenn.) — A Tennessee doctor who placed himself in quarantine after volunteering in West Africa, where the Ebola virus is rampant, says he's "feeling well" and showing no sign of symptoms.
Alan Jamison, a retired pediatrician, returned home to Morristown, Tenn., after he was evacuated from Liberia by the aid group he was volunteering for — working at the same hospital as Dr. Kent Bradley, an American now fighting the deadly virus.
"I feel very comfortable and I'm looking forward to being able to be with my family again," Jamison told ABC News via Skype.
Since landing in the U.S., he said he's had no physical contact with anyone and has only been near his daughter, who picked him up from the airport. Jamison said he plans to hole up at home until the 21-day incubation period is completed.
"I'm out of the major risk period right [now]," he said. "The isolation that I'm going through right now is in excess of what the CDC suggested for the precaution for my family."
Jamison added that he's comfortable at home and hasn't had any signs of fever or illness. The virus is not contagious until symptoms appear.
Medical Teams International, the group Jamison works for, said it pulled him out of Liberia for safety and security reasons. Jamison was working in the Ebola isolation unit at ELWA Hospital, near the Liberian capital Monrovia.
He described the protective equipment he and other doctors wore when working with infected patients — a suit with goggles, rubber boots, two pairs of gloves and two face masks layered on top of each other.
Jamison isn't sure how Brantley, who is in isolation and expected to arrive in the U.S. next week, became infected with Ebola.
"He was very cognizant and careful with the hygiene precautions that he used," Jamison said. "I'm not sure how it occurred that he was exposed."
A second American has also contracted the Ebola virus in West Africa: Nancy Writebol, an aid group worker.

[QUOTE=spazzxb;1372923] Lance stands around because that is his job. The ball never comes to his side of the court so Lance just waits. When given the ball Lance penetrates and passes the ball to open guys. With your argument wouldn't AJ be the one you want standing in the corner waiting to shoot? Way to often AJ takes a three-point shot because he was incapable of making anything else happen. He either shoots early, or runs out the shot clock accomplishes nothing and then gets an excuse to throw up another shot.
The pick and roll is designed to break down the defense. If your PG isn't capable of getting to the rim there's no point in the defense helping.
That's Price's main weakness and the reason he struggles with his FG% IMO. He shoots mostly jump shots because he's not big enough or athletic enough to make plays in the paint, and that results in very few easy baskets.
People can't expect Lance to look comfortable on offense when we're basically asking him to be Brandon Rush. We need to run him off screens so he can get to the mid range and paint area were he can be effective.
Btw I checked the game logs, and you're right about the switch during the Miami game, but that wasn't when the "announcement" was made. AJ played the next 2 games, then they both logged minutes vs Philly, but after that AJ went back to the bench and Lance was inserted into the rotation. It wasn't until after Nets game (1/31) and Hill's injury that Price began getting regular minutes. So that must have been when Vogel made the comment about the switch in the rotation. Just wanted to clear this up because I think quite a few people were thinking it was a demotion for Lance, and were using that to help prove their claim that Lance hasn't played PG this year. (which is )
I know you want Price to play, but the more I think about it the more I'm confident Lance's spot in the rotation is safe.

The festival inevitably touches on the turbulent spirit of the '60s: the quest for civil rights, equal rights, and social justice; the empowerment of a young and restive generation; the division wrought by a distant war; and the emergence of a radical new aesthetic in reaction to modernism. Music was at the center of all these struggles and a meaningful vehicle to inspire change.
Among Carnegie Hall's offerings, two programs in the festival explore the nexus of music, protest, and social change: one featuring David Crosby with Snarky Puppy and guest artists, and the other led by composer, music director, and producer Ray Chew with a lineup of prominent fellow artists. There is also a performance by the Philip Glass Ensemble and new works premiered by the Kronos Quartet—one referencing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, and the other based on the work of author and activist Studs Terkel. Pianist Matthew Shipp and the legendary Roscoe Mitchell—a proponent of the free jazz movement that flourished in the '60s and a founder of the groundbreaking Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians—perform together for the first time. Other highlights include performances by Icelandic psychedelic pop band mùm, the socially and politically minded singer-songwriter Bhi Bhiman, and a multimedia concert that focuses on musical responses to the Vietnam War.
This special exploration of the 1960s extends citywide with music, lectures, panels, exhibitions, films, and more, thanks to partner programming created by leading cultural institutions, including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Apollo Theater, the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law, Keyes Art Projects, The Museum of Modern Art, New York City Center, New-York Historical Society, The New York Public Library, New York University, and The Paley Center for Media.
To understand where we were then, to understand where we are now, The '60s festival provides a guide to the years that forever changed America.

2. Copenhagen, Denmark
In "the city of bikes," 36 percent of residents commute by bike daily, while only 27 percent drive. And it's a haven for bike tourists: Anyone can rent wheels from one of the 125 city bike-parking racks. Just deposit about $4, and when you return the bike you get your money back.
3. Bogota, Columbia
Nearly 75 miles of Bogota's streets are closed to motor vehicles every Sunday and holiday for Ciclovia, when cyclists take over. About 2 million people attend each event, which includes musical performances and group-fitness classes in parks. Though Bogota remains on the U.S. State Department's list of dangerous places for tourists, trouble is mostly limited to rural areas.
4. Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona was among the first cities anywhere to implement a bike-sharing program. The 419 Bicing stations hold about 3,000 bicycles, which are accessed through a yearly subscription. The program discourages tourist participation, but plenty of companies rent bikes and offer tours that cover parts of the city's 100 kilometers of bike lanes and paths.
5. Berlin, Germany
Nearly all of Berlin's flat streets have bike lanes, and the 12 bike routes radiating from the city center take tourists to destinations like Museum Island and the Berlin Cathedral. Visitberlin.de, the city's tourism site, lists bike-rental companies and has a map feature that shows the best biking distance between any two points in the city.

No audio capable cd
Running Slackware 13.37. Have CD player and writer on same cable to motherboard. An audio cable connects to the player.
Audacious emits dialog box with "No audio capable CD drive found" when CD in player but runs OK if in writer/player.
All connections checked.
Tried mplayer cdda://1 -cache 8192 in both drives and same CD. Plays in writer but in player I get:
Playing cdda://1
Can't open disk
Failed to open cdda://1
Any suggestions?
Seems to be a device recognition problem.
Try putting the player and the writer on separate cables.
try xmms?
I don't know the exact problem with audacious here, but I find xmms to be a good CD audio player to try when having trouble playing with other players.
Start xmms, right click on it, open options/preferences -> Audio I/O Plugins, and configure the CD Audio Player 1.2.11 [libcdaudio.so] plugin:
First, make a directory in your home directory where xmms will mount the CD, and where you will see the CDDA files:
cd ~
mkdir xmms-cd
Then, in the CD Audio Player 1.2.11 configuration:
Device: /dev/sr0 (this is the typical cd device, change if yours is different)
Directory: /home/<your username>/xmms-cd
Check <*> digital audio extraction
This plugin seems fairly good to try when other things are not working. You can put a CD in, and hit the "Check drive" button and then look in xmms-cd and see the audio files. Maybe you can use xmms! It still has uses! :)
I would unplug the audio cable. I've never needed to use one to get sound off a CD under Linux, and it's probably not even being recognized (as allend says).
No audio capable cd
Allend & Eternal... I do not have another port to test by separating the devices to their own port but I will try a test by moving the CD-W cable to the CD-R device and then also with & without the audio cable. I do recall going thru a similar exercise when I installed which is why they are that way now.
Foobarz, I have no preference as to audio player but since both mplayer and audacious do not recognize the CD player I presume the problem to be hardware. U may be correct about configuring so will double check that tonight.
Thanx all and will follow with results ASAP.
Thanks to all and sorry it took so long to get back.
I had the jumpers set correctly with the audio cable on the ROM device.
BIOS recognized DVD R/W device as Phillips DVD+/-RW and ROM as slave HL-DT-STDVD-ROM-G.
Subsequently jumpered ROM to master and put it on master end of cable with audio cable attatched. It was recognized in BIOS as HL-DT-STDVD-ROM-G and master. Disconnecting audio cable made no difference and as dis/connected neither File Manager nor Audacious could recognize the ROM.
Reconnected and re-jumpered both devices and left off audio cable. Still ROM recognized by BIOS as slave but neither File Manager nor Audacious can find the ROM.
Sounds like a dead ROM player but can that be when BIOS can detect it?

This post is sponsored by Crav-On: This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to the winners: slrdowney@, katiemur@, waleska.wilbourne@, hrsteeley@
Back in May I did something new. I spoke at a blogging conference. That was pretty wild. I got a chance to hang with two dear friends, Stephanie and Amy.
Not only that, I got a chance to try a whole bunch of new food items, including Crav-On Fries. Crav-On was one of the sponsors of the conference, and they fed us lunch one day! They drove their food truck up a mountain to feed hungry food bloggers. I loved the concept from the beginning.
In fact, their food truck has been cruising throughout California all summer. What a great way to get the word out about their new product!
What's different about these frozen French "fries" is that they are never fried. Potatoes are blanched, tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and flash frozen. You can eat them as-is as a side dish to burgers or fish.
But, they are also great served with a number of toppings which is exactly how they served them to us at the conference. A whole array of toppings were spread out and you could build your own creation. In fact, make all the toppings from my Hot Dog and Sausage Bar and you'll have a great buffet supper to serve friends and family.
Other options?
Hashbrown Breakfast Stacks (but with fries)
My family loved the fries that I served them from Crav-On. Since hubs and I are trying to watch what we eat — and what we feed our kids — he was particularly pleased when I told him about the ingredients list: potatoes, olive oil, sea salt, annatto, and caramel color.
Currently, the product is only available in Southern California, but watch for. It should be rolling out nationwide in the coming months. Find Crav-On Fries at a store near you. You can get a coupon via their Facebook page.
This week four Life as Mom readers will win some Crav-On swag: tshirt, baking sheet, and silicon spatula.
To Enter:
Simply complete the information on this form. Please know that the information is only being gathered for the purposes of mailing you your prize in the event that you are chosen as the winner. This information will not be sold, traded, or given away.

"There's nothing wrong with fun fights, you can put on some fun fights sometimes. What people don't realize is what a huge 'Rocky' story this is for Stephan [who's] been this guy that's been right there. So many times he's been so close. He's on a three-fight winning streak and felt like there were no big fights for him and boom, this opportunity comes up. I know Stephan Bonnar, I know how much this means to him. He's going after it. He's gonna try to win this fight, it's the biggest fight of his life. He's gonna be so much bigger than Anderson in this fight it's gonna be crazy. Anderson has fought at 205 before and you saw what he did with Forrest (Griffin), but this is a completely different fight. This is a dangerous fight for Anderson."
Much has been said about the UFC 153 main event between Anderson Silva and Stephan Bonnar.
Some say the bout is not interesting enough and that Bonnar doesn't deserve a shot at the P4P king. However in all fairness, the original main event was cancelled when Jose Aldo was forced out with an injury, and Silva stepped up on three-weeks notice to face whoever the UFC put in front of him. That man was Stephan Bonnar.
In a recent interview with ESPN, Dana White defends his decision to promote this fight and explains that it wont be as one sided as the Forrest Griffin vs. Anderson Silva fight.

Audiences will be offered interactive options at 11th annual Tribeca Film Festival
April 11, 2013
"Audiences are way ahead of us," said Ingrid Kopp, director of digital initiatives at the Tribeca Film Institute and programmer of the Tribeca Film Festival's new Storyscapes initiative.
A first-time project for the festival, Storyscapes is an interactive showcase in which audiences experiment with the medium of film in several unique ways. Through five different installations, Storyscapes allows audiences to become "part of the story" and experience movies in a non-traditional manner.
"I think Tribeca's always been really interested in looking to see what's coming down the pipeline and making sure the festival is really part of the conversation of where media is going, what audiences are getting excited about," Kopp said.
When choosing the five installations for Storyscapes, Kopp considered anything that is not labeled as a linear film. What she ended up choosing was a mixture of installations that covered a number of diverse topics, from insomnia to Hurricane Sandy to "Star Wars."
"Sandy Storyline" is a growing documentary where audiences can share their own stories of the hurricane that occurred this past October, through the use of audio, photography, text and video.
"A Journal of Insomnia" is a space designed to look like a bedroom where participants can view real stories of insomnia and then share their own.
"'Star Wars' Uncut" puts audience members in the director's seat when designing "The Empire Strikes Back." Using clips of the film broken down into 15-second segments and remade into animations and re-enactments by people across the world, audiences can be Jedi Knights of their own "Star Wars" film.
Inspired by the parlor game commonly known as exquisite corpse, the "Exquisite Forest" exhibition allows players to piece together an animated forest by contributing their own designs of trees.
"Robots in Residence" provides yet another collaborative experience, but this time the interaction takes place between humans and robots. Participants can check out a robot — each containing cameras for eyes — and then take the robot out on the streets of New York. The robots, which interview participants, help explore how people can open up to artificial intelligences in ways they cannot, or will not, to fellow humans.
"I hope [audiences] get really excited about the potential for what stories can do," Kopp said.

CBA Computer Classroom Scheduling Procedure
In order to support faculty and staff in the CBA, a formal computer classroom scheduling procedure for the scheduling of the CBA Computer Classrooms CBA-236, CBA-237A, CBA-237B and CBA-240 is needed. This will provide everyone with a consistent framework for scheduling computer classrooms requested.
- CBA Computer Classrooms are requested by filling out the online "Click" IT Computer Classrooms & Dean's Conference Room Reservations Request. Since it is difficult to track other requests, verbal and other written requests cannot be honored for classroom reservations or changes.
- Special room requirements i.e. "Certain courses must always be scheduled in a certain computer classroom" should be provided to the IT Department in writing and approved by the Dean. A permanent list of such courses will be kept on file in IT and should be mentioned as part of each IT Computer Classrooms & Dean's Conference Room Reservations Request as a "double check."
- For the Fall and Spring semesters, the four CBA Computer Classrooms can be scheduled, in advance, by CBA Departments only after Phase I begins as formally established by Enrollment Services/Academic Support. This date is established many months prior to the next Fall or Spring Semester and all Department Chairs are advised of the Phase I date.
- During the period between Phase I and Phase II is the conflict resolution period. Computer classroom conflicts will be resolved by the following order, in consultation with the instructors involved.
- Department ASC's
- Department Chairs
- CBA Dean
- The CBA IT Department will confirm all resolved IT Computer Classrooms & Dean's Conference Room Reservations Requests on the official Phase II start date.
- All fulfilled reservation requests will be confirmed with a follow up email from the CBA IT Department confirming requested dates, times and assigned rooms. It is recommended that all confirmations be "double checked" by the requestor, at the time of receipt, to verify the requestor's scheduled dates and times have been scheduled as requested.
- Future Fall and Spring semester reservation requests can be submitted anytime, but not officially scheduled until the Phase II date is formally established by Enrollment Services/Academic Support and is published.
- The Winter Semester and three Summer semester computer classroom requests can be made anytime for future semesters by CBA and non-CBA department requestors.
- Each CBA Department ASC has access to the "Office Tracker" program used for the scheduling. The purpose of this access is to provide the Department Chair and Faculty members access to review computer classroom availability before submitting the online form IT Computer Classrooms & Dean's Conference Room Reservations Request.
- New scheduling requests for CBA computer classrooms can be made anytime during the "current semester" by any CBA or Non-CBA department. It is suggested that room availability be reviewed with the Department ASC prior to submitting the online form IT Computer Classrooms & Dean's Conference Room Reservations Request.
- Requests from non-CBA departments for CBA computer classrooms during the Fall and Spring semesters will be held until two weeks prior to the start of those semesters and then scheduled on a FCFS basis.

How do I know if dd's piano teacher is right for her?(23 Posts)
I teach Music. I have never heard the saying aloud the notes for piano when playing- seems very dd.
I would change teachers otherwise your DD could go totally off the piano. I wish I had done this for my DD. She has had lessons for 5 years with the same teacher and only just took Grade 1 in the Autumn. I should have listened to my gut reactions as I am sure she should have made more progress than that! We have just changed teachers so fingers crossed.
I hope it'll work out. The teacher dd has would be perfect for some characters and for really able pupils. I just don't get the feeling that she has a different approach up her sleeve if her student doesn't respond. I would love dd to play long term and that's not going to happen with this teacher. If the change doesn't work, with all I've heard about the other teachers child centred (but rigorous and technique focused) approach then I'll have to conclude piano isn't for her.
I hope you and dd are happy with the new teacher. My dd has never had to say notes out loud whilst playing. I suppose when you are Setting out and cannot read music, it might help some dc but I would find it very distracting.
Oh get rid, and find someone else OP!
One thing my teacher says is if I ever get a mental block about a piece then we leave it, go onto the next bit and in a month or so go back to the original piece. This works really well.
Thanks all. I've had a day or two of thinking about this and I think this teacher isn't right for dd. I also chatted to a good friend who's very sensible about this and has had two children through the school doing piano and what she said confirmed my gut feeling-dd's teacher is very rigid, and a bit inflexible on music played and changing a bit to suit the child's needs. This morning, dd had a real paddy about a piece which she's for some kind of block about and has been playing for a month now. I wanted to call the teacher and say how it's been going practising it and I felt too nervous! What's that all about? I have investigated the other teacher who works at school and she seems to be the opposite-high standards but works with the child to make sure they make progress and enjoy things. To avoid treading on toes we're going to do lessons outside school. I feel relieved, which I think means we've made the right decision. I've really appreciated sensible perspectives about this.
the only time my dd dreads piano lessons is when she knows she hasn't practised - and she doesn't want the teacher to be "disappointed " in her... he never is - it is just her internalising what she should have done..
Our teacher is great - he DOES do the "say the notes aloud" when playing - for the first 2 or 3 play throughs, and I believe dd does well in her sight reading because of this. But once the rhythm work is well under way, he drops it for counting..... again good for sight reading...
Sounds like maybe the teacher is not for her if they are not very supportive of her music likes though...
DD2 had a violin teacher with a very rigid method of teaching.
At Christmas time, we decided it wasn't working out for her, and changed teacher on a recommendation. We did loads of soul searching, and spoke to the school music teacher, among others.
Two terms later, I am so pleased we did. She admitted that she used to dread Tuesdays, when she had her lessons, but now she loves going into her lessons, and the quality of her practise has improved no end.
That's exactly how it feels to me too -I'd get very confused having to say the notes as well!
Rub my tummy, clearly!
For me, the piano has always felt like trying to run my tummy whilst patting my head. Adding in saying the notes out loud would be like hopping up and down too! Hence I chose an instrument where my right hand generally did nothing but support it, bar handstopping later on. Must not let my inadequacies impede dd's progress .
Appreciate the balanced advice, amazinggg. Will respect piano teacher and get different books. Unless or until we change teachers, we need to support what she's doing with dd.
Italics fail
I misunderstood, saying the notes out loud ^ while^ playing sounds odd. Not even sure I could do that tbh,I thought you meant just say the notes out loud.
Really, the saying notes aloud thing - there's no way your daughter should be made to do it once she's fluent in a piece, that just makes no sense! It might be helpful as a learning device, but not once she's fluent, she should then be able to play it freely.
I would definitely look into another teacher, there are lots around, you need someone who your dd will click with and be motivated by.
I treat all my students like the paying customers they are, and make sure they're happy and smiling. If they're not enjoying it, they won't practise or only with pressure. I want to instil a love of music including the learning process. There are unfortunately teachers out there who are stuck in a learning by rote type system, and miss being able to rap knuckles with rulers
I would however support the teacher's demands re the other music, it's not quite the same as reading more difficult books outwith school - ideally the teacher would treat the new book with enthusiasm and help her with it, but if she won't - if your daughter tries them on her own then technique will almost definitely suffer - things like wrist position, body tension and so on always suffer ime, and her teacher should be guiding her in how to attack a new piece - how to break it down, how to practise. Yeah it's not the same as reading harder books I'm afraid.
They're are tons of good teachers out there, the lessons need to be fun or she won't learn, so don't stick it out if your gut tells you that this one isn't right.
Its quite nice learning as an adult as I can tell my teacher what I want to learn
Not at all, Valium. It's a long time since I had lessons, I was older and it wasn't piano. I appreciate your input. My gut says this isn't the ideal teacher match for dd and that she's more interested in very able pupils. But she's able to do lessons at school. Might investigate the other teacher who gives lessons at school-she's local and it wouldn't be dreadful to be dropping her off there for lessons. I also need to remember its nearly the end of term and dd is tired. It might be a whole different thing come September.
I would look for another teacher.
I imagine she makes her say the notes even though she can play the piece fluently to ensure she actually knows the notes. Because you can recognise groups of notes/ chords it's easy to memorise them and then when you go on to something more challenging you become unstuck as you're not able to read the notes fluently. That's my experience learning as an adult anyway.
Does she do theory lessons as well because they can seem very rigid and repetitive but actually it's all for a reason that becomes clearer the longer you play.
Sorry if that sounds patronising, if I'm teaching my granny to suck eggs then just ignore the above
Thanks! I suspect there's a bit of everything in the solution. I have definitely told dd that learning an instrument can feel frustrating at times and you have to work your way through those patches and out the other side. I would tell her not to say the notes but her teacher won't move her off a piece if she doesn't do the note thing (even if she plays it fluently). I've also said to dd that we'll keep the books, she can play them, but we'll get the approved ones too. I do t at the piano, but I do check carefully that fingerlings are correct and I can tell the difference between a challenge and too difficult. Smacks a bit of primary teachers who discourage an enthusiastic reader from reading something that they consider beyond them. I figure that if they're too hard and I'm not insisting on her playing them that she'll give up anyway.
On the flip side, dd does need strong encouragement to persevere with stuff so it may be that she doesn't give of her best always in lessons (although the reports have all said excellent for effort, progress and practice). Who knows? I don't think she's the most amazing teacher but neither do I think she's horrible.
Your dd should be encouraged to play anything she likes at home though, music should be about playing what you want
Saying the notes aloud really helps me, it's something about verbalising then that makes them stick in my memory. My teacher is the polar opposite of traditional and dated yet she encouraged it in the beginning.
Wrt books, I know music teachers who have done the same, they all seem to have their own way of teaching.perhaps she doesn't want your dd to get confused?
Ime it's about now that learning gets really hard and you have to persevere if you want to carry on. I really wasn't enjoying it but I seem to have come out the other side and have fallen in love with it again now
She sounds very old fashioned with the saying the notes thing, and there's nothing to knock the love of playing out of a child like telling them the pieces they want to play are too hard! it's a controlling thing to do - suits some learners but not most! It's so important to individualise teaching so if they want to whizz through grades and enjoy the maths-like discipline of scales etc, or just want to learn lots of pieces chosen jointly, or tell you what songs they want to learn and you can help them work out chords and melodies, etc.
Where are you based? PM me if you want the details of an amazing piano teacher
I'm hardly qualified to advise but I will tell you that my very capable teacher helped my very musical sister move nimbly through the grades on a fairly rigid syllabus while facilitating a wholly different musical experience for me, handwriting the music for whatever pieces I wished to play adapted for my very amateur ability. Not playing the piano not being an option! I feel that a good teacher should be flexible and student led - but you should speak to this tutor to find out whether there is method in her rigidity.
Dd has been learning piano since September last year (started just before she was seven). She's making progress and has learnt to practise although needs encouragement to do it.
She has recently been getting cross when practising because of some of the things her teacher asks her to do and says she's not enjoying lessons. This could well be because she's hit a patch where it's harder for her.
The thing she really hates doing is saying the note names out loud while playing. This is a bit foreign to me as I've only played wind and brass instruments so clearly didn't have to do that and I wondered if it is usual to get children to do this. If it is, we'll carry on but of not then I might mention it to her teacher.
Also, last week, dd's grandma bought her two books of pieces for the holidays. She was really thoughtful about it and asked us exactly which book dd was working through and how far she'd got and the music shop lady recommended a couple of titles. Dd managed to play a couple at sight and was really fired up about having them for the holidays. She asked to take them to her lesson and I got a sharp toned note back saying they were too hard or not suitable and we should take them back. Dd was really upset.
I don't know how to explain this really but I just feel somehow that the teacher has a method and sticks to it rather than working out how dd responds best.
Do piano teachers have different styles that just suit some students better than others or do we need to get dd to work harder to fit in with what the teacher wants? Or maybe a bit of both?

"Don't equate actions with religion," he said."...
1/14/11, "Gov. Christie nominates 9-11 attorney Sohail Mohammed for Superior Court judgeship," NewJerseyNewsroom.com
"Gov. Chris Christie's office Thursday announced the governor has filed nominations for judgeships and other state and county positions the he originally nominated in 2010 but were not confirmed by the Senate during the year-long session.
The governor also filed notices of intent to nominate two Superior Court judges, which would be
- subject to the consent of the state Senate.
Noteworthy is the nomination of Sohail Mohammed of Clifton to a Superior Court judgeship in Passaic County. Mohammed was counsel to many detainees picked up by federal authorities in the aftermath of 9/11 terrorist attacks. Mohammed gained the respect of authorities for trying to improve communications between them and the Muslim community after Sept. 11, 2001."...
5/8/07, "6 held on terror conspiracy charges in NJ," MSNBC.com
"In addition to plotting the attack on Fort Dix, the defendants spoke of attacking a Navy installation in Philadelphia
- during the annual Army-Navy football game,
and conducted surveillance at other military installations in the region, prosecutors said....
Several of the men said they were ready to kill and die
- "in the name of Allah," according to court records....
One defendant, Eljvir Duka, was recorded as saying: "In the end, when it comes to defending your religion, when someone is trying attacks your religion, your way of life, then
- you go jihad."
The six were arrested Monday night trying to buy AK-47 assault weapons, M-16s and other weapons from an FBI informant, authorities said.
They appeared in federal court Tuesday in Camden and were ordered held without bail for a hearing Friday. Five were charged with conspiracy to kill U.S. military personnel; the sixth was charged with
- aiding and abetting illegal immigrants in obtaining weapons.
Four of the men were born in the former Yugoslavia, one was born in Jordan and one came from Turkey, authorities said. All had lived in the United States for years. Three were in the United States illegally; two had green cards allowing them to stay in this country permanently; and the sixth is a U.S. citizen.
One defendant, Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer, spoke of using rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons to kill at least 100 soldiers, according to court documents.
- "My intent is to hit a heavy concentration of soldiers," he was quoted as saying. "You hit four, five or six Humvees and light the whole place (up) and retreat completely without any losses."
"It doesn't matter to me whether I get locked up, arrested or get taken away," another defendant, Serdar Tatar, was alleged to have said. "Or I die, it doesn't matter.
- I'm doing it in the name of Allah."
- They often watched terrorism training videos,
clips featuring Osama bin Laden, a tape containing the last will and testament of some of the Sept. 11 hijackers, and tapes of armed attacks on U.S. military personnel,
- erupting in laughter
when one plotter noted that a Marine's arm was blown off in an ambush, authorities said.
In court documents, prosecutors said the suspects came to the attention of authorities in January 2006 when a Mount Laurel, N.J., shopkeeper alerted the FBI about a "disturbing" video he had been asked to copy onto a DVD.
The video showed 10 young men in their early 20s "shooting assault weapons at a firing range ... while calling for jihad and
- shouting in Arabic 'Allah Akbar' (God is great)," the complaint said. The 10 included six of those arrested, authorities said.
By March 2006, the group had been infiltrated by an informant who developed a relationship with Shnewer, and the informant secretly recorded meetings last August, according to court documents.
One of the suspects, Tatar, worked at his father's pizzeria and
- made deliveries to the base, using that opportunity to scout out Fort Dix for an attack, authorities said.
"Clearly, one of the guys had an intimate knowledge of the base from having been there delivering pizzas," (prosecuting US Attorney Chris) Christie said.
The men also allegedly conducted surveillance at other area military installations, including Fort Monmouth in New Jersey, Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, and a Philadelphia Coast Guard station.
- Besides Shnewer, Tatar and Duka, the other three men were identified in court papers as Dritan Duka, Shain Duka and Agron Abdullahu.
Fort Dix is used to train soldiers, particularly reservists. It also housed refugees from Kosovo in 1999....
- Fort Dix typically has 15,000 people, including 3,000 soldiers; McGuire, which is adjacent to Fort Dix, has about 11,500 people....
The description of the suspects as "Islamic militants" was causing renewed worry among New Jersey's Muslim community....
"If these people did something, then they deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law," said Sohail Mohammed, a lawyer who represented scores of detainees after the 2001 attacks. "But when the government says
- 'Islamic militants,' it sends a message to the public
- that Islam and militancy are synonymous.
"Don't equate actions with religion," he said."
(Despite multiple examples of the perpetrators saying they were doing it for Allah and/or jihad. ed.)
The Fort Dix 6 were not being investigated until a retail clerk at a Circuit City store in New Jersey noticed a video one of the group brought in for conversion to DVD. The clerk passed the video on to authorities.
- "During the investigation, authorities recorded hundreds of conversations with the defendants with help from two informants.
On one of the tapes, Eljvir Duka, who is married to Shnewer's sister, said he wanted to "train sniper" and
- wondered how close he would have to stand from the White House
- to shoot President Bush....
- slipping across the border through Mexico in 1984."...

With Mississippi State's backcourt situation last season, Brian Bryant was thrown right into the fire during his first year with the Bulldogs.
The first semester suspension of Dee Bost and subsequent transfer of Twany Beckham left Bryant with plenty of minutes on the floor in 2010-11. Now the senior combo guard is hoping to build off his success and finish his college career strong.
"I started to get more comfortable going out there and playing and not thinking," Bryant said. "That has kind of trickled down to how I'm playing now. I've been getting better and have to play like that during the year."
Bryant played in all 31 games for the Bulldogs earning nine starts. He averaged 4.9 points shooting 44.4-percent in 17.8 minutes of play per game. Bryant also finished third on the team with 59 assists and brought down 99 rebounds.
During the offseason the 6-foot-3, 160-pounder has utilized MSU's new Mize Pavilion to his advantage and improve his game.
"We've got a good weight room and I've gotten stronger," Bryant said. "With us being in there and being able to come into the gym anytime we want instead of when we were in the Hump because then we had to split time with the girls."
Even though the Bulldogs cannot begin practicing with their coaches they have been playing pick-up games and organizing practices of their own which includes mixing and matching their own lineups.
"Right now we are kind of undecided with our coaches being out," Bryant said. "We are just playing pick-up (games). We are putting people in different positions trying out stuff.
"We have pretty intense scrimmages when we are in there playing against ourselves. Everybody is just trying to help each other get better."
State is having to prepare themselves a little earlier this year due to their European road trip during September that will take them to Amsterdam, Belgium and Paris.
"We're expecting big things overseas," Bryant said. "We're expecting to go over there and get five wins and just come together as a team and prove everybody wrong. We're pretty much the underdogs."
The Albany, Ga., native who came to Starkville via Northwest Florida State College has only one year left and is trying to make the most of that opportunity on and off the court.
"I'm trying to step up my leadership not only on the court but off the court in the classroom," Bryant said. "It's your last year so you're trying to go ahead and graduate so you can do what you've got to do during the summer. I'm scheduled to graduate next spring but I'm in the process of changing my major so it might be June next summer."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Scooter is three years old. He weighs around 4 pounds, just a little guy. When we first saw him in the cage at the vet with Thelma, he was sitting in the back corner shivering. Well I'm not sure where that dog went, but he certainly isn't here. Scooter has completely come out of his shell and loves everyone around.
Thelma hasn't changed. Which is just fine with us, because when we first saw Thelma she stood up and started "pattycaking". Can you get more adorable? She also weighs around 4 pounds and is 6 years old.
These two can go together, or separate. As long as they have a forever home, they will be happy.
The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers.
After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application.
