Electrolux North America announced Tuesday, Nov. 12, its first Memphis-made products have rolled off the assembly line and been shipped across the country.
The inaugural products produced at the Memphis facility – the Frigidaire and Frigidaire Gallery slide-in ranges – were recently manufactured, packaged and loaded onto trucks for warehousing and retail distribution throughout the United States. It's the culmination of a two-year construction effort on the 750,000-square-foot, $266 million dollar facility. The first truckload of ovens was shipped to Seattle, Wa.
In addition to the two ranges, the plant will ultimately produce a variety of signature items, including Electrolux, Electrolux ICON and Frigidaire built-in and specialty cooking products, wall ovens and specialty freestanding ranges.
The plant, inside Frank C. Pidgeon Industrial Park, features an in-house lab that allows the company to simulate a product's lifetime usage and performance expectations.
Electrolux said it has hired about 500 employees in manufacturing, engineering, supply-chain management, finance and operations management at the Memphis plant.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam says he's committed to improving the salaries of the state's teachers and plans to provide some degree of funding in his proposed budget to start doing so.
The Republican governor began his annual budget hearings with agency leaders at the Capitol on Tuesday with the Education Department.
Commissioner Kevin Huffman didn't provide specific numbers on what an increase for teachers might look like, saying he and the governor needed to first see how the overall budget comes together and then explore "what's doable this year" for teachers.

For our first visit to the Silver Peak Wilderness we did a great 13 mile loop out of Salmon Cove including the Cruickshank Trail, the Buckeye Trail, the Soda Springs Trail and a couple miles along Hwy 1. The Silver Peak Wilderness is located along the Southern big Sur Coast. It encompasses 31,555 acres and was established in 1992, making it the little brother of the Ventana Wilderness which spans 240,026 acres and was designated in 1969. Within this wilderness lies the southernmost stand of coastal redwood at Redwood Creek. Our route traversed above these redwoods and also through the nearby redwood groves along Villa Creek.
Our route began with a steep climb up the Buckeye Trail to gain a small saddle. From the saddle, the trail traverses a coastal chaparral hillside to the Soda Springs Trail junction with great views of the Pacific Ocean and Mount Mars. The Soda Springs Trail descends through oak woodland back to Highway 1. A fire crew has recently brushed out the stretch from Salmon Cove to the Soda Springs turnout on Highway 1 so this section of trail is in great shape. From Soda Springs trailhead we ran along Hwy 1 which began with a slight ascent, but was largely downhill for a couple miles to the Cruickshank Trailhead. This stretch of Highway 1 is narrow in spots, but we found minimal traffic in the morning. The Cruickshank Trail ascends an exposed hillside (note: hot in summer) in coastal chaparral with numerous switchbacks. Eventually, the trail rounds a corner into Villa Creek Canyon, thereby entering a new forested ecosystem with a pleasant mix of oak woodland, pines and redwoods. Lower and Upper Cruickshank camps are situated in pretty spots within this forest. Beyond these camps, the Buckeye Trail branches off the Cruickshank Trail and heads uphill through more oak and pine forest.
Unlike the Ventana Wilderness, which was largely burned in the 2008 Basin Complex Fire, the Silver Peak Wilderness has been spared major fires for a couple decades. The result is a mature forest of oaks and pines. After ~1,000 ft of climbing on the Buckeye Trail, the path reaches a pass. A short diversion from the pass leads to a magnificent viewpoint spanning a good chunk of the Southern Big Sur Coast. We enjoyed a snack here with a great view above the fog. Back on the Buckeye Trail, it begins a traverse across steep slopes and multiple small drainages. The tread is often in poor condition with a lot of erosion along the trail but there are excellent views down Redwood Creek to distract from the relatively slow progress. We next reached lovely Buckeye Camp which is at the south side of expansive meadows and near a natural spring with cool, pure and refreshing waters. On a very dry year, the spring was still flowing nicely. A few heritage coastal live oaks of colossal proportions play host to the camp making this a great place for a shady break. Beyond Buckeye Camp, we found some forested sections that were in reasonably good condition while some other spots were quite eroded and needing re-alignment. Ending up at the Soda Creek Junction, we were back on familiar ground for the last mile back to Salmon Cove. Overall, the entire Buckeye Trail from Cuickshank to Soda Springs is in decent shape and and an excellent choice for coastal views. The trail has minimal encroaching brush, but there are sections that traverse steep slopes that are badly eroded which will slow you down. My impression of the Silver Peak Wilderness after my first visit was very positive. This is extremely beautiful terrain and well deserving of its wilderness designation. I look forward to future explorations on the Southern Big Sur Coast! Strava route here.

Authorities this week took three people into custody in connection with the kidnapping, torture and genital mutilation of a Newport Beach man last year, prosecutors announced.
Newport Beach police detectives arrested Ryan Anthony Kevorkian, 34, and Naomi Josette Kevorkian, 33, in Fresno Friday. FBI agents arrested Hossein Nayeri, 34, Thursday in Prague, Czech Republic, where he is facing extradition, according to a news release from the Orange County district attorney's office.
Police first arrested Kyle Shirakawa Handley of Fountain Valley in October 2012 in connection with the crime after his name was linked to a suspicious car parked outside the victim's home on the day of the alleged kidnapping.
The four are charged with two felony counts of kidnapping for ransom and one felony count each of aggravated mayhem, torture and first degree residential burglary, with a sentencing enhancement for inflicting great bodily injury. They are being held without bail and, if convicted, face up to life in state prison without the possibility of parole, the release stated.
Handley pleaded not guilty to all charges last month.
In October 2012, a 29-year-old man and 53-year-old woman were kidnapped from separate rooms at a Balboa Peninsula home. The man was beaten, burned with a torch, doused with bleach and had his penis severed. Both victims were then bound and left in the desert in Kern County.
The motive of the crime centers around the male victim's lucrative marijuana dispensary business, authorities said.
Just before the crime, the victim took several marijuana growers, from whom he purchased the drug for his dispensary, to Las Vegas for an "extravagant and expensive" weekend. Handley was allegedly one of the growers on the trip, the release stated.
After the weekend in Las Vegas, Handley is accused of telling his friends, Nayeri and Ryan Kevorkian, that the victim was wealthy. The three are also accused of devising a plan to kidnap and rob the victim.
They allegedly planted video surveillance outside the man's home and followed him during his trips to the desert, where they believed he was burying large amounts of money.
Police assert that on Oct. 2, 2012, Handley, Nayeri and Ryan Kevorkian entered the male victim's home, zip tied his wrists and beat him. The trio is also accused of zip-tying and kidnapping the girlfriend of the male victim's roommate, who happened to be home, the press release stated.
After being left in the Mojave desert, the woman, who was not physically harmed, walked more than a mile in the dark before a Kern County sheriff's deputy found her, the release stated.
Handley, Nayeri and Ryan Kevorkian are accused of fleeing the scene and taking the victim's penis with them so that it couldn't be reattached.
Police believe Naomi Kevorkian helped plan the kidnapping and torture.
After the crime, Nayeri allegedly fled to Iran. He was arrested by the FBI in an airport in Prague while transferring flights from Iran to Spain to visit family.

Online donors have given nearly $100,000 to help the family of a 6-year-old South Carolina boy who was critically injured in a shooting at a rural elementary school.
A GoFundMe page set up by a friend of Jacob Hall's family on Thursday already had raised about $100,000 by noon Friday.
A note from the person who established the fundraising drive, Travis Paige, says the boy's parents have to miss work to be with him in the hospital and need financial assistance.
Authorities say the boy, another student and a teacher were wounded when a teen gunman showed up at Townville Elementary School and began shooting on Wednesday. They say the youth killed his father with multiple gunshots at home before going to the school.
The suspected gunman, 14, was charged Friday as juvenile with murder and attempted murder.
According to The Greenville News, Hall's relatives said in a statement late Thursday that he's on life support in a hospital.
The family said the boy sustained a major brain injury due to the amount of blood he lost after being shot in the leg.
Older brother Gerald Gambrell told the paper the family is "hoping for a miracle."

January 03, 2006
LOS ANGELES – UCLA Anderson School of Management begins 2006 by welcoming new dean, Judy D. Olian. Formerly the dean of the Smeal College of Business Administration at Pennsylvania State University, Olian becomes UCLA Anderson's eighth dean.
"Dr. Olian is a respected scholar and innovative leader with a deep commitment to the type of interdisciplinary education that is a priority at UCLA Anderson School of Management," said UCLA Chancellor Albert Carnesale. "She brings many assets that will serve the school well as it continues its growth among the nation's leading business schools."
At Smeal, Dean Judy Olian led an ambitious fundraising campaign for a $68 million state-of-the-art-facility opened in 2005; spearheaded comprehensive renewals of the undergraduate, M.B.A. and Ph.D. programs; and oversaw program expansion through the launch of the Smeal Trading Room, the eBusiness Research Center, the e-Incubator Lab, the Auctions Market Lab, the Nittany Lion Fund LLC (a student run investment fund) and the Philadelphia-based Executive M.B.A. program. Also during her tenure, the college raised more than $55 million from private donors and foundations.
Dean Judy Olian has been widely published in journals on human resource management and business alignment of management systems, wrote a weekly nationally syndicated newspaper column and hosted a monthly television show on current topics in business. She is a sought-after speaker and has consulted for major corporations.
Her honors include the American Council on Education Fellowship and the Maryland Association for Higher Education Award for Innovation. She also has chaired two industry-wide commissions addressing the future of management education and the looming shortage of business Ph.D. graduates. She was the lead author of two influential white papers published by AACSB, the premier international accrediting body among business schools.
A native of Australia, Dean Judy Olian holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in industrial relations from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and an undergraduate degree in psychology from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Prior to her tenure at Smeal, she served as senior associate dean and professor of management and organization at the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, where she developed an award-winning business-engineering undergraduate program.
"Scholarship that addresses important business questions is essential to the mission of leading business schools," Olian said. "The Anderson faculty is among the best in the world at conducting scholarship that is important and has impact, and in bringing such scholarship into the classroom. These are among the many distinctions of UCLA Anderson that so attracted me to this opportunity."
Rakesh Sarin, professor, faculty chair and senior associate dean at UCLA Anderson said, "We all look forward to helping Dr. Olian continue sharpening UCLA Anderson's focus on the education and services it provides to attract the world's best students and faculty and to keep us competitive in all facets of our operations."
Dean Judy Olian succeeds Bruce Willison, under whose leadership UCLA Anderson's reputation and global rankings continued to rise, including its recent acknowledgements for faculty research and student selectivity that were ranked No. 1 and No. 2 by BusinessWeek and U.S. News & World Report, respectively. He also led the school toward the successful completion of its $100 million fundraising campaign.
"I am very excited about this appointment," said Steve Green, M.B.A. 1995 and president of the UCLA Anderson Alumni Association, who also served on the search advisory group. "She really understands the importance of alumni in the school's future, and we look forward to her joining the UCLA Anderson family."

Defining biotechnology
It is strongly recommended that collection agencies provide survey respondents with both the single definition of biotechnology and the list-based definition. It is further recommended that statistical agencies provide an "Other (please specify)" category when using the list-based definition categories as question items. This will allow respondents to report biotechnology techniques that fit the single but not the list-based definition and will thus assist in updating the list-based definition.
The single definition
The provisional single definition of biotechnology is deliberately broad. It covers all modern biotechnology but also many traditional or borderline activities. For this reason, the single definition should always be accompanied by the list-based definition which operationalises the definition for measurement purposes. The single definition is:
The list‑based definition
The following list of biotechnology techniques functions as an interpretative guideline to the single definition. The list is indicative rather than exhaustive and is expected to change over time as data collection and biotechnology activities evolve.
The list‑based definition of biotechnology techniques:
DNA/RNA: Genomics, pharmacogenomics, gene probes, genetic engineering, DNA/RNA sequencing/synthesis/amplification, gene expression profiling, and use of antisense technology.
Proteins and other molecules: Sequencing/synthesis/engineering of proteins and peptides (including large molecule hormones); improved delivery methods for large molecule drugs; proteomics, protein isolation and purification, signaling, identification of cell receptors.
Cell and tissue culture and engineering: Cell/tissue culture, tissue engineering (including tissue scaffolds and biomedical engineering), cellular fusion, vaccine/immune stimulants, embryo manipulation.
Process biotechnology techniques: Fermentation using bioreactors, bioprocessing, bioleaching, biopulping, biobleaching, biodesulphurisation, bioremediation, biofiltration and phytoremediation.
Gene and RNA vectors: Gene therapy, viral vectors.
Bioinformatics: Construction of databases on genomes, protein sequences; modelling complex biological processes, including systems biology.
Nanobiotechnology: Applies the tools and processes of nano/microfabrication to build devices for studying biosystems and applications in drug delivery, diagnostics etc.

Recently, I was astonished when a friend confessed it once took her seven years -- seven years! -- to get over a guy. That was longer than they'd even dated. It had never really occurred to me it could take double the amount of time to get over someone as it took you to even be in a relationship. Of course, we all have different definitions of "get over." Some believe that it means you never even think of the person anymore. Others would say you think of them but only to go Ewww. That guy?! Can't believe I was once with him! I tend to believe it means you may still think of that person -- but in positive (or at least neutral) ways. You're not still rehashing all the old hurts and wounds. And you've been able to "move on" in whatever way that means to you. Either you're happily in another relationship or you're happily not in one.
Here's 7 reasons you might still not be over him.
Regrets. You still regret all of the ways the relationship broke down, and run over different scenarios in your mind as to how you could have done things differently. Or how he could have done things differently. Or how, basically, the whole thing should have gone v. how it went. Time to start forgiving yourself for whatever you did or didn't do. And forgiving him too. And accepting that we're all human and make mistakes and aren't perfect. You can't undo what has been done -- though you can always still say "I'm sorry."
Fantasy. You're still holding on to some fantasy in your mind of who he was or who you thought he was. You can't quite believe that fantasy turned out not to be reality. You still hold to the fantasy of how it was in the beginning. Or how you wanted your life to be. You wanted lots of kids, a big house in the country, and HIM. Time to realize that fantasy is just that. Begin to accept reality. The reality of who he is. And the reality of your life. You can't make changes until you accept reality. Forget about what should have been. Concentrate on what IS.
Laziness. Getting over someone takes work. It requires letting go of a lot of ingrained thinking (see: Regret and Fantasy.) It requires doing emotional work -- digging deep and asking yourself why you got involved with that type of person. Or why you ignored huge red flags. It involves building a life for one and not two. It involves learning how to be happy with yourself -- alone. All of this is actual work, it doesn't just happen. Read books on how to get over a break-up. Take up hobbies. Learn to meditate. Make new friends. Believe it or not, getting to know yourself is the toughest, but most rewarding, job you'll ever have.
Questions. You're still asking a lot of questions: Why, why, why? Why'd he say this and do that? How could he do that, and then do this? Did he ever really love me? Is it because I gained weight or grew old or lost my job? You'll never know the answers to any of these questions. So stop asking.
Limerence. This is an actual psychological condition. It basically involves a steadfast romantic attachment that you just cannot shake. You become obsessive. Your brain is basically in a loop, and stuck. You can read what a friend of mine did about her limerence.
Spying and staying attached. You still check his Facebook wall and Twitter stream. You look to see what he's doing on Instagram. You may even drive by his house (old school stalking!). You come up with excuses to call, text, or otherwise keep in touch. If you have kids, then keep in touch about the kids. Otherwise, take a break. A big one.
Unhappiness. You're unhappy. You tell yourself if only you had him back, everything would be perfect. You place all of your potential for happiness and fulfillment on having this person. However, chances are, if he made you happy -- and vice versa -- you'd still be together. So that didn't work. Forget the idea that he'll make you happy. He won't. No one can make you happy except you.
What are some other reasons you're still not over him? If you are, how did you do it?

I see that MS has the term >"Graphics Device Interface" and I'll allow that is separate from the "kernel". Was separate, now part, now not. It sort of changes, as graphics cards change and the "preferred coding model" changes (DirectX, etc.). The game industry is responsible for a lot of the intertwining in Windows. With the nice abstracted interfaces, they couldn't get enough performance, so they did things like pull some graphics ops into the kernel mode, provide all sorts of "hooks" and "bypasses" to use the accelerators, etc. Linux doesn't have a huge gamer user base, and there's no single point that a game publisher and video card mfr could go hammer on to say "give me speed!", so there's no tendency to try and shortcircuit the architecture. >It does all this now.

Hi all, new LD enthusiast here.
Have dedicated myself to learning to LD recently, and have become active on the forums here.
I'm curious, how old are some of the more active members here? Any of you as old or older than me?

text: Matsumoto, Japan, November 2, 2010 – The United States maintained their 100 per cent record in Group C of the 2010 FIVB Women's World Championship with a clinical 3-0 (25-17, 25-19, 25-19) win over Kazakhstan at the Matsumoto City Gymnasium on Sunday. The USA are now 4-0 while Kazakhstan fell to 0-4.Destinee Hooker and Logan Tom led the American scoring with 15 and 13 points respectively, while Jordan Larson added 9. Sana Jarlagassova top-scored for Kazakhstan with 10 points.Both teams started out slowly and the scores were level at 5-5. A thumping Tom serve put the Americans 7-5 up and an equally telling blow by Hooker widened the gap. Successive spikes by Hooker, Larson and Foluke Akinradewo prompted Kazakhstan coach Nelli Chsherbakova to call a timeout with the score at 11-6. While Sana Jarlagassova and Olga Nassedkina were able to land spikes for Kazakhstan, the Kazaks weren't helped by three errors en route to the USA taking a six-point lead at the second technical timeout. Stacy Sykora showed the Americans weren't resting on their laurels with a stunning diving recovery that helped her team to a 19-11 lead, while Kazakhstan's Jarlagassova sent down three good spikes to show that the Kazaks were able to attack. But not quite like their opponents. Korinna Ishimtseva plunked a serve into the net to hand the Americans set-point and, after confusion in the Kazakhstan defence, Heather Bown put the USA 1-0 up with a strong instinctive hit at the net.Tom got the Americans moving in the second set with a big blast followed by a slower, well-placed shot while Kazakhstan were plagued by errors. After two massive strikes by Hooker put the USA 10-6 up, the Americans lost their way as errors crept into their game. The Kazaks pulled to within two points at 15-13, but then the Americans found their mojo again and pulled away. They earned set-point when Nassedkina netted a serve and went 2-0 up on a spike by Akinradewo from a short set by Alisha Glass. Kazakhstan started the third set brightly, with Lyudmila Anarbeyeva landing a couple of decent spikes, but the USA responded with some well-placed shots that the Kazaks struggled to return. The Americans were four points clear at the first TTO, a lead they soon stretched to 12-6. The Kazaks kept plugging away, while the Americans weren't at the top of their game, which meant the USA weren't able to run away with the match. Jarlagassova landed more spikes, but Hooker responded with a spike and a good block on Olessya Arslanova. Anarbayeva landed a couple of shots as Kazakhstan staged a mini-rally from 20-12 to 20-16, but Larson helped steer the USA to victory. A well-placed shot by Larson gave the Americans match-point and she sealed victory with a spike down the middle.

The Seattle Seahawks clinched the NFC title on Sunday to earn a berth in the 48th Super Bowl on Feb. 2, taking on the Denver Broncos. So what's to talk about?
On Twitter, the topic du Bowl was a toss-up between the #RichardSherman "Don't-you-ever-talk-about-me" interview and this factoid of ever-changing times: The teams are housed in the only two states in the U.S. to have passed laws legalizing the recreational use of marijuana.
Once the final whistle was blown, it took social media all of two seconds to start passing the #stonerbowl puns — that hashtag's been trending for a week — as well as #reeferbowl and a few others with gusto:
Some were even as bold as to declare an official trend has been set:
But it seems a full-fledged "let's make it legal everywhere" push is far from the mind of our nation's leader. In a a lengthy New Yorker interview for its Jan. 27 edition, President Barack Obama laid out his feelings on reefers and more.
#Obama was taking plenty of flak on Twitter over the comment that he doesn't think pot is "more dangerous than alcohol." He, of course, couched that by saying it was less dangerous "in terms of its impact on the individual consumer." Yes, he smoked it as a kid (as is well documented), but he discourages his daughters from doing the same, POTUS said.
His biggest problem? Radically disproportionate arrests and jail time due to marijuana for minorities. While "middle-class kids don't get locked up for smoking pot," poor African-American and Latino kids do, said Obama.
We shouldn't be "locking up kids or individual users for long stretches of jail time when some of the folks who are writing these laws have probably done the same thing," he says.
But jury's out on whether Obama is going the whole hog on legalizing pot. He said the "experimenting" that's going to be taking place in Colorado and Washington will be "a challenge" and a slippery slope could be the result.
Sports and politics. Hmm..

Wild is the Wind at the Vassiliki Festival
The Vassiliki Festival celebrations are particularly special to us this year as it's our official 30th Anniversary week and the line-up for the party is just epic. From the 26th June to 2nd July there will be some fantastic off-the-water entertainment and live music including the splendid David Bowie tribute band 'The Bowie Legacy'.
Check out the band's material here – close your eyes and you'd think it was the great man himself…
The on-the-water activities will be just as spectacular – Wildwind has a reputation as one of the premier sailing holiday companies in the world and as a specialist in performance dinghies and catamarans in a high wind area, has no rival.
The Festival usually attracts an eclectic mix of sailors ranging from 'once-a-year' Wildwind clients to Olympic old hands in a number of classes; the largest classes being the multihull and Laser. With the Vassiliki sailing club now a properly affiliated club under the auspices of the Greek Sailing Federation, we are expecting a larger entry than normal, but whatever standard you are, you are assured of a warm welcome, not only by the Wildwind team, but by the whole village.

A Student's Perspective: The Borderless Classroom, Part 2 of 2
I am a member of the millennial generation, and I have been exposed to the education system for nearly 14 years. Recent analysis of Cisco's International Education Survey prompted me to reflect on my experience as a student. This passage is the second in a two-blog series that portrays my perspective on how and why technology will benefit every facet of teaching and learning.
This blog represents my interpretations on technology's aid in the evolution of how teachers teach.
The bell sounds as I step through the door into Ms. Palmer's chemistry class. I stand in the back of the class and scan the room for an empty seat. Ideally, I like to sit in the middle of the class. If I sit in the back, or the front, I draw more attention to myself, and I like to blend in during this period. Most of my usual seat choices are occupied, so I grab a chair near the front of the class and pull out my chemistry textbook. I take a look at the inside of the cover, and I see the names of students who graduated six years ago.
I turn to chapter 13 and stare intensely at the pages crammed full with formulas and data tables. Hopefully, if I glare hard enough, somehow all of the concepts and knowledge of molecules and protons will rush into my head (even though they hadn't during the multiple hours that I'd attempted this tactic the night before). I give up and shove the textbook back into my backpack as Ms. Palmer begins to pass out the blue and pink tests, an image that I have been dreading for at least a week now. She hands me the exam, and I proceed to flip through the pages in hopes of finding a problem that I know how to solve…No luck.
I look up from the test and glance around the room. My friend, John, is sitting three seats to the right of me, effortlessly mowing his way through the test. John doesn't take notes in class or even study before exams, but somehow he always receives stunning grades on almost every chemistry assignment. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. During Ms. Palmer's lectures, I pay attention, I take notes, and I've even spent time after school reviewing lessons with her. Usually, I'm pretty good at science. Why was this class so different? Why can't I understand what Ms. Palmer is trying to teach me?
There have been a number of instances during my education where I have not understood the concepts or lessons that my teachers strived to convey to me. Why was this? Why was it easier for me to understand some teachers better than others? According to Clayton M. Christensen, Michael B. Horn and Curtis W. Johnson, the authors of Disrupting Class, there are eight different methods of intelligence, and everyone has a different combination of two or three of these learning styles. Basically, what this means is that every person learns differently. The current model of education makes it almost impossible for teachers to weave together lesson plans that utilize all eight of these learning styles. This doesn't mean that teachers are ineffective or that kids who are struggling are poor students. It simply indicates that there needs to be a change in the way that kids are taught.
This change is technology.
76% of respondents feel that technology plays a large role in how teachers teach.
– Cisco's International Education Survey, 2011
Technology has the power to dramatically enhance the education model. Using software programs, teachers now are able to use online textbooks that are updated daily and that students can access at anytime. There are blended learning programs available that help teachers customize a lesson plan based on the progress and unique learning needs of each student in the classroom. This further aids teachers in the critical area of remediation for students.
Video and collaborative tools now allow for the expansion of teaching and learning outside the confines of the classroom. By using video technologies teachers can connect with students for live video office hour sessions, communicate with other faculty members remotely, record lectures for students to watch before or after class, initiate virtual field trips, and allow for the creation of class projects with other classes around the world.
The potential of technology to transform the classroom is limitless.
Globally, schools and teachers are beginning to make changes that will enhance the way students learn. This change will be the catalyst for a greater level of student motivation, engagement and success. Technology can help teachers reach students with multiple teaching approaches for multiple learning styles.

Looks like there is new evidence that the learning styles aren't as prevalent as Christiansen has written about.

Harriet the Spy and Me
Remember what it was to be me: that is always the point.
--Joan Didion, "On Keeping a Notebook"
Confession: my casually thrown out resolution at the first of the year to eschew the new, i.e., focus on re-reading, has more to do with solipsism than a desire to reacquaint myself with the books of the highest literary merit. My diaries only go up until the first weeks of college, when I forced myself to abandon the OCDing of my daily life. I made a stab at keeping a writer's notebook in the early 90s, but found my entries dispiriting. I thought when I started blogging that I'd found the medium that fit, but that was before book blogging became something you worked at in a professional manner, rather than allowing it to go out in its nebulous first drafty state.
Which is all to preface saying I was delighted when the Girl Detective announced the Summer of Shelf Discovery. How better to get in touch with the girl I used to be than by touching base with the books that mattered to the girl I was then? In all honesty, touching base with the books I read rather than the words I wrote down way back when removes a lot of the risk that I'll need long-term therapy if some of that old stuff gets the better of me.
I first encountered Harriet M. Welsch in 4th grade. I was fresh off a summer dominated by cousins-- the one from Dublin shared a room with me while many of the others lived next door with my grandfather--and horses and ponies and VBS and The Eagle has Landed tee shirts. My best friend and I had had too much fun together in 3rd grade and the authorities had seen fit separate us in order to tone us down; we spent as much time as we could in the school library, where we were never bored and it didn't take as much effort to remain civilized. I had short hair for a change, and a cast on my left arm due to a fall from a horse. My teacher believed me when I told her I knew my multiplication tables (and I lived that particular lie until 8th grade when I was finally called it and forced to learn the ones I'd been using my fingers on). This was the year that JW explained to the rest of us on walks around the far edge of the playground what sex was; I was repulsed and immediately dropped JW as my boyfriend. When yearbooks went out in the spring, I would X-out his picture and write THE DEVIL on it.*
I have a distinct memory of coming into class after lunch one day and asking our teacher's aide to read Chapter 5 of Harriet aloud and how let down we all were when she elided right over the word we wanted her to say when Harriet screamed at her parents, "I'll be damned if I'll go to dancing school."
Harriet permeated. Fourth grade was the year I decided I would be a writer (I was just facing facts: among them, I lived a century too late to be a real cowboy ). After a short stint as a spy (we were all spies for awhile), I turned straight to writing stories and novels, not turning to non-fiction until I reached high school. Unlike Harriet, who got in trouble for writing in her notebook during class, I had a string of teachers who didn't mind how I occupied myself (if I was quiet about it; they liked me so much better if I kept my mouth shut) as long as I completed my work. Once, in 7th or 8th grade, a classmate (a non-reader; seriously, I don't think they ever managed to teach him how to read) stole a notebook I was writing a book in, but it was later found deep in the bowels of a desk. For years, I would play my own version of Town, only mine took place on horse farms with large, but non-Catholic families (okay, The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family happened at some point during this), and I devoted realms of paper to keeping the names and ages and attributes of the kids, horses and dogs all straight (my brother, who went through quite a bit of paper himself, would become incensed by own prodigal consumption).
So what's my take on Harriet the Spy 43 years later? I find myself terribly annoyed that an editor didn't catch that Fitzhugh messed up her time. Harriet's parents fire Ole Golly on a Saturday night and she leaves the following afternoon; she's "finishing up her packing" when Harriet gets home from school; we all know Harriet doesn't go to Sunday school. You could make an allowance here, and say that Ole Golly was actually fired early Sunday morning, except for the fact that Harriet thinks, "this is a very bad Monday indeed," on the following day, which means Monday happened twice. Someone should have noticed this and fixed it. Honestly, I noticed this back in 4th grade, but who would I have pointed it out to?
Also, I don't find it the least bit plausible that the school newspaper would run some of Harriet's articles about her classmates' parents or her teacher. I wish Fitzhugh had had Harriet learn how to be edited and to change her writing approach instead of basically just allowing her publish her notebook entries.
And I hate that Fitzhugh never mentions the titles of any of the books that Harriet reads by flashlight under the covers. Crime novels from the drug store? Classics supplied by Ole Golly; maybe some Sherlock Holmes? Was she a library user or did she filch books from her parents' shelves? I want to know!
More on Fitzhugh next week, when I talk about The Long Secret, Harriet the Spy's sequel.
*When my daughter became friends with a JW during college, I showed her this Xed-out picture. Instead of being delighted by it, as she was, she should have heeded it as a warning. Her JW would sublet her apartment one summer, not pay the power bill, not clean up before he moved out, and leave her to deal with a refrigerator full of maggots when she came back.

I loved Harriet the Spy as a kid, mainly because of Town and her notebooks and how much I wanted to sneak into buildings and spy on people.ReplyDelete
As a young teacher I used it as a read-a-loud with a group of sixth graders. From some reason the principal came into my room to cover for me while I went to a meeting and ended up reading the word "damn" to the delighted shock of the students.
It's been a while since I read them, but I think an elementary school, certianly a progressive one in New York circa 1960, would have run Harriet's articles in their school newspaper. It might not happen that way today, but back then, I bet it would have.
I totally missed the date issue with Ole Golly. It's not clear to me that she was fired or that they all agreed she should move on. It really was time, in my adult opinion.
I discovered Harriet the Spy in the bookstore at University of Hawaii at the beginning of the summer my parents spent there, and read and re-read it all that summer, the summer I turned eleven. It's kind of amazing to me how many of my friends also love that book, despite its flaws. (Now I'm not going to reread it for a while, because I don't want to see them.)ReplyDelete
I love this post, especially the part about JW being THE DEVIL. Hilarious and fun.ReplyDelete

I didn't discover Harriet until I was myself a teacher. I never skipped over 'that' word. Your pupils need to know that you're human too.ReplyDelete

OK, now I feel stupid, I never noticed that timing issue. But I love Harriet. I agree, it's not likely a school would have let her publish those stories. But at the same time, I loved that Harriet did it. :-)ReplyDelete
Harriet's school was progressive and screwy, but it's surprising that some of those entries made it in.ReplyDelete
Even to this day, Harriet informs the way I dress: Hoodie and jeans all winter long if I'm not working.
What a wonderful reminder of this book! I loved this one when I was growing up.ReplyDelete
I never noticed the timing issue either! And I read it over and over as a kid. I remember being befuddled by some of the slang, like "plotz."ReplyDelete
Did you ever read the third in the series, Sport? It came out later but I loved that one too. Different focus but equally subversive in its own way. Might be time for a reread.

Welcome to this our latest edition of Product Review Friday. Today we feature a Topco Sales product. Topco is one of the industry's old guard. It was founded back in the dark ages, 1973.
Today Dr Dick Review Crew members, Kevin & Gina will tell us all about their new vibe.
U Touch Down Silicone Vibe —— $85.08
Kevin & Gina
Gina: "We're back with another timely review. And like the last product we reviewed, we have another high-end silicone vibe for you today. Unlike the last product we reviewed, the U Touch Down is an insertable as opposed to a external vibe."
Kevin: "I like insertables!"
Gina: "I know you do. I'm sure we're going to get to that in a minute."
Kevin: "Alright, before we tell you what we did with the U Touch Down, maybe we should describe it to you. Gina mentioned that it is made of silicone. I'll add that it's nonporous, nontoxic, and hypoallergenic silicone. And the silicone covers the insertable end of the vibe, which only extends to the hard plastic handle. It's also rechargeable. YAY! But sadly, it's not waterproof. I can't understand why Topco didn't go the distance and make it waterproof. I mean, this is supposed to be a high-end vibe, right?"
Gina: "Yeah, I couldn't get over that either. Oh well! The U Touch Down has five insertable inches with a modest 1.3″ girth. It's designed as a G-spot massager, but works just as well as a P-spot massager. Just as long as you don't insert it beyond the silicone head and neck. But I'll bet you could have figured that out on your own, huh?"
Kevin: "It's ergonomically designed, it has a whopping 16 speeds and 9 functions of vibration and pulsation. The four button controller is in the handle. So far so good."
Gina: "But because it's not waterproof, it's tricky to clean. All you can do is wipe it down with mild soap and warm water for everyday clean up. To sanitize, like before sharing this toy, wipe it down with a lint-free towel moistened with peroxide, rubbing alcohol or a 10% bleach solution. Of course you can only use a water-based lube with the U Touch Down. A silicone-based lube would mar the finish."
Kevin: "The shape of the U Touch Down is very familiar. It looks very much like the LELO MONA, as well as at least a dozen other such toys we've seen online. I really, really liked the universal charger, it's a 110V, 220V and USB compatible magnetic charger rolled into one. Which pretty much covers all the bases, if ya ask me."
Gina: "The control panel looks easy enough to operate, but looks, as we all know, can be very deceiving. After fully charging the unit (a red light blinks on the charger while it charges) I tried to turn it on. Nothing happened. None of the buttons lit up; it simply wouldn't turn on. I dug out the instruction manual, but discovered it didn't apply to this particular vibe. That was weird. The instructions kept talking about inserting batteries. FRUSTRATED!"
Kevin: "I dug around in the little charger box and found a little slip of paper that apparently was added to the packaging as an afterthought. This bit of paper diagnosed the problem. The vibe was on lock-down mode. WHAT? Is that so it doesn't turn on accidentally, or what? Once we figured that out we had more success operating the U Touch Down. The control panel is neither intuitive nor easy to operate, and it is just so damn finicky."
Gina: "Ya know that paper insert Kevin just mentioned, it says you turn on the vibe by pressing the plus and minus buttons simultaneously. However, the instructions on the packaging say you press the up and down buttons simultaneously. Sheesh! As it turned out, the up and down buttons are the correct ones."
Kevin: "The U Touch Down delivers moderate vibrations in all the speeds and modes. This suggests to me that this vibe is geared toward someone who is just starting out with vibration, or who likes a more gentle sensation. However, someone used to a more intense vibration will, I think, be disappointed. It is pretty quiet though."

Before Midway shuttered in 2009 it was working on a sequel to John Woo's Stranglehold, footage released by a former developer has revealed.
The game was to be rebranded Gun Runner, but for all intents and purposes was a sequel to Stranglehold. Chow Yun Fat's Inspector Tequila was returning, only this time alongside a rather familiar face - that of Vin Diesel.
The appearance of Vin Diesel would make sense, given Midway's relationship with the action movie star when working on the pretty good vehicle action game Wheelman.
"I was fortunate enough to work at Midway Games for year prior to its financial demise in 2009," wrote visual effects lead Sean Lantis on his Vimeo page.
"This project was basically the sequel to Strangle Hold and was getting fully rebranded to appeal to a wider audience. I was the VFX lead on this project and was in charge of all visual effects as well as a good portion of the destruction work. This game never made it to production and all footage is from the preproduction stage so it's pretty rough looking to say the least."
You can see that footage below.
Lantis now works at NetherRealm.

The Midtown underwater road tunnel lying beneath the Elizabeth River in Virginia, USA, is being replaced by a new tunnel that connects the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Construction includes the relocation of a 91.5cm (36 inch) wide water main and the restoration of existing Downtown tunnels.
The Elizabeth River is tidal estuary, forming an arm of Hampton Roads harbor in southeast Virginia. The river is also a gateway to the south for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway – a sheltered waterway to Florida for commercial and recreational boating. The existing Midtown tunnel is a prominent highway between Norfolk and Portsmouth. It's 50 years old and carries about a million vehicles every month, in excess of its design capacity.
The Elizabeth River Tunnels Project (ERTP) is being developed by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) in partnership with Elizabeth River Crossings OPCO (ERC) at a cost of $2.1 billion. The Commonwealth of Virginia is the owner of the project and ERC is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Midtown and Downtown tunnels. SKW Constructors, a joint venture between Skanska, Kiewit and Weeks Marine, is the design-build contractor. SKW Constructors awarded the horizontal directional drilling work to the Michigan-based Mears Group in recognition of its status as one of the largest horizontal directional digging (HDD) contractors in the world.
Part of the new road tunnel project involves building a new water main. Replacing the old pipe included the fabrication, coating, testing and handling of the new pipe carried out by Mears's subcontractor – Patterson & Wilder Construction. The first step in the project was to assemble a 152cm (60 inch) diameter casing to drill through, followed by the assembly of a 1,371 meters (4,500ft) long by 91.5cm (36 inch) wide water pipe. The pipe had to be strung out, the tie-ins completed and then using cranes and Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) PL4608 pipelayers, the pipe had to be lifted to the drilling rig and aligned with the orientation of the drill stem so the pipe could be pulled under the river.
"This is a fairly large project in terms of length and diameter and there can be environmental concerns involved in drilling under a river," says Ed Kosarek, VP of Field Operations for Patterson & Wilder. "We chose Volvo CE's rotating pipelayers because the machines are more versatile than any of its competitors for this kind of application."
With the pulling forces exerted on different machines, the company wanted to ensure that capacity exceeded the requirement by at least 50 – so that the operation would be safe and successful.
To reduce the impact on the environment, the project will follow Environmental Protection Agency and Commonwealth regulations. It will be built using ISO 14001 sustainable standards and an environmental management system will be used by Skanska.
The Volvo PL4608 pipelayer was more than up to the task, with its 80 ton tipping capacity and its hydraulically variable track gauge for stability at work and easy transport, making it the industry's most adaptable pipelayers.
"In today's economy, that's the name of the game," Kosarek. "You have to get it done smarter, quicker and safer. If you don't then you are out of the game. The major difference between a Volvo pipelayer and traditional side boom dozer is the rotating function. The tracks can stay stationary, but the whole cab and boom of the machine rotates. There's no other pipelayer that can do that."
"The 360-degree swing capability suggests significant pipe-handling advantages including keeping the operator facing the pipe and it benefits from better stability with wider track gauge and a lower center of gravity," adds Kosarek. "In addition to the unique 360° swing capability, the hydraulically elevating cab on the Volvo PL4608 can significantly improve operator visibility for increased site safety. Patterson & Wilder's involvement in this project lasted three months but work on the tunnel itself is scheduled for completion in 2016. The project will enhance the transportation network in the Hampton roads region and is expected to generate about 1,700 jobs.

How do I...
... use favorites, recommendations and comments?
In last month's How-to we looked at the various kinds of stories and how to find a specific story. This month looks at how to work with favorites, how to recommend a story and how to comment.
Favorites and bookmarks
Once you have found a story (see last month's How-to), there are several ways to bookmark it. As a HASA member you can save a story to Favorites. If you do this, you can always find it again when you're logged in.
Members - Save to Favorites
This stores the story in your own Library on HASA. The story is then always available anywhere in the site from the story favorites drop-down menu at the right hand end of the site header. To save to favorites:
- Go to the Stories section of HASA
- Click on either the overview or any chapter of the story you want to add
- In the Reader Toolbox that appears at the top and the foot of these pages, click the button that says "Add Story"
- The page refreshes and the story is added to your list.
- If you are on the Overview, the first chapter is bookmarked. If you are on a specific chapter, that chapter is bookmarked.
- When reading a long story, you can update your bookmark and set it to a new chapter by clicking on the "Set Bookmark" button in the Toolbox.
Members and Public - AddThis Button
On every story list and in every Reader Toolbox, there is a bright orange button with a plus sign on it. This is the AddThis service's button. To use the button:
- Hover your mouse over the button
- A pop-up window appears, with different commands and social networking sites
- You can send the page to the printer, bookmark the page, send the URL to an email address or link it to one of the services, such as Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, etc.
- Click on the desired button
- If you use IE or Firefox, there are browser plug-ins that work directly with the AddThis button.
You can also just bookmark a story in your regular browser Favorites list.
If you have a lot of favorites, they display in the reverse order of when you added them. If you have a lot of stories, you may want to set them in a specific order to help keep track which one you are currently reading.
- Mouse over the "Stories" button in the top navigation bar.
- In the drop-down menu, select "My Library". (Note, if the menu does not drop down for you, click on the main Stories button. On the Stories home page, click on "Manage My Library" from the My Library menu.)
- On the home page of My Library, you will see the list of all your bookmarked favorites.
- Use the ordinal number form in the left hand column of the stories table to set a new order.
- Click "Reorder List" to update.
How to recommend a story
If you enjoyed a story, you can let others know why you liked it.
- Go to the story overview page or a chapter page and click on "Recommend" in the Reader Toolbox.
- When you see the recommendation form, choose one or more reasons from the list in the box (hold down the CTRL key to select more than one), then click "Add" below the box.
- The reasons you chose will be displayed below the story summary. You name as a recommender will appear and people can click your name to see what other stories you have recommended.
Other ways to recommend a story are:
- Write a comment. Authors love comments!
- Create a playlist and explain in detailed introduction just what is so awesome about this story.
- Post in the author's forum. If the author has a forum, sign up and add a new thread to say what you like about the story. Get a discussion going!
How to post a comment
Authors love comments and they are so easy to do! You must be logged in to post comments. HASA does not permit anonymous commenting.
- From the story overview page, look in the sidebar navigation for a box that says "Talk to [author's name]". You'll see the comment form in that box. Comments made from the over view page are always tagged as "General Overview" comments.
- From each story chapter, look in the sidebar navigation for a box that says "Talk to [author's name]". You'll see the comment form in that box. Comments made from a chapter page are always tagged as belonging to that chapter.
- From the Comments page, the comments box appears at the top of the comments for that story. On the comments page, the comment will be tagged with whatever chapter's comments you are viewing.
- If a story does not yet have comments, the first comment must be made from the story, not the Comments page.
- If a chapter does not yet have comments, the first comment must be made from the chapter, not the Comments page.
Have fun reading and exploring!
If there is any topic you'd like to see in the how-to, please let us know!

Mobile Apps: Native or Web?
When building for mobile there isn't a silver bullet. Instead we have a myriad of compromises to make. If your an enterprise wanting to build apps here are four broad options.
Native code (Objective C for iOS, Java for Android, C#/Xaml for Windows)
- Build the best experience in each platform (Native UI, Performance)
- Discoverable in app stor
- Cost (3 codebases)
- Dev skills
- Publishing to each app store, wait for approvals etc
Native with re-usable code (C# for platforms -> MonoTouch for iOS, Mono for Android, C#/Xaml for Windows) http://xamarin.com
- Build the best experience in each platform (Native UI, Performance)
- Discover-able in app store
- Code reuse (except for the presentation layer in each platform the rest of the business logic, web service calls etc are reusable)
- Cost (Cheaper than 100% native but will cost more than plain html)
- Dev skills (Devs still need to understand the UI APIs for each platform e.g. CocoaTouch, UIKit…
- Publishing to each app store, wait for approvals (e.g. you find a bug fix it and submit to app store, it will then take 5 business days before the bug fix is available for end users to download).
HTML but deployed natively (PhoneGap, Sencha, etc…)
- Javascript (Use frameworks /tools such as jQuery mobile, TypeScripts etc)
- Costs less to build (one code base across platforms)
- UI is not native to each OS
- App updates need to go through approval process for each App Store
HTML only: Basically a web site (ASP.NET MVC or a SharePoint app / application page with responsive layout to adapt to a mobile browser)
- Javascript (Use frameworks /tools such as jQuery mobile, TypeScripts etc)
- Costs less to build (one code base across platforms)
- Performance will be better (but not as good as native) since the site runs in Safari and can use hardware acceleration
- Updates to app is just a matter of pushing update to website (user doesn't need to upload etc)
- Option #1 and #2 will anyway need a website to host the webservice
- UI is not native to each OS
- Discover-ability: No app store. User needs to bookmark app url. Enterprises can work around this by having a single Web App Store that lists all their web apps (ala http://www.apple.com/webapps). Or build a shell native app that acts as a launcher for the web apps.
Need more options/tool choices? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_application_development
Another disadvantage with the native options. You need to build and publish a mobile and a tablet version of the app.
My view is that while native apps are the better choice for companies that build and sell services/products, the web option gives the best ROI for enterprises. Even when it comes to product/service companies a strong case can be made for going web only. Ask the guys who built Basecamp.

Merciful heaven.
Shall we?
Good Morning America just ran a quick segment covering today's primaries in the south…and it was amusing as hell!
The reporter was making the point that the GOP candidates are…well, getting gritty.
First there was video of Romney at a campaign stop indulging in one of his bizarre list-offs of shit he likes that he hopes voters in the crowd will like so they'll vote for him.
So awkward.
Anyhoo, there's Romney saying he's learning to say y'all…. "hi, y'all!"…and he likes grits… "cheesy grits and biscuits, y'all!"
I can't decide if these incidents are signs that Romney is so starched that this is what he acts like when they try to loosen him up…or that his staff despises him and has already reached the "fine, motherfucker…go 'head and do what you're going to do…ass." stage of the campaign.
"I figure if you don't understand grits there's a pretty high likelihood that you don't understand the rest of the south."
My grit-based analysis - This was a daring move since Gingrich is from Georgia and you know and I know that you know that I know that Georgia does grits one way and [insert southern state here] does them a different way.
This grit litmus test…a gritmus test?..is just another example of Newt's reckless campaign style. He could have just let Mitt verbally out himself as completely clueless about all things southern…but no, Newt had to be all pompous about it.
He's lucky that no one in the herd of reporters forced to follow him really thinks he has a chance in hell, or he'd be facing a tons of questions about how he likes his grits and whether he thinks cheesy is wrong or adding sugar is disgusting (gasp).
Pause…sip coffee…continue.
I have no idea what the results will be today and I'm willing to bet they won't force anyone still in this race to limp to the sidelines (that'd be too much like right).
But I do know that this has been a kick ass moment in history - 2012 is now the year grits became a serious conservative campaign issue in America.

Spring break in Hawaii is an experience most students would covet, but for the members of the UC Irvine women's water polo team, the five-day excursion into paradise this week is mostly about business.
The No. 6-ranked Anteaters open Big West Conference play on Friday against No. 9-ranked Hawaii, trying to avenge two overtime losses last season to the Rainbow Wahine. One of those losses (the Anteaters also earned a one-goal win over Hawaii last season when all three matches were played at UCI), came in the final of the Big West tournament, which denied UCI a third straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
The Anteaters (16-6) are benefiting this season from the return of standouts Jessy Cardey, Danielle Warde and Annika Bergesen, all of whom redshirted last season to allow a class of nine freshmen to, well, dip more than their toes into the pool.
"I just felt that it was a good opportunity to get our freshmen a bit of experience and, academically, the girls who sat out knew they had to get some extra school anyway, so it worked out for them as well," said Coach Dan Klatt, a former All-American player at UCI and a 2004 Olympian who is also an assistant coach for the women's U.S. national team that he helped win gold at the 2012 Olympics in London.
Cardey, a redshirt senior, was Big West Player of the Year in 2012 and 2011 and earned second-team All-American honors as a junior in 2012. She has 34 goals this season, ranking third on the team behind sophomore McKenna Mitchell (40) and Warde (38).
Warde, a redshirt junior, was second-team All-American in 2012, when the Anteaters won their fourth straight Big West tournament title and repeated as regular-season conference champions. Like Cardey, she was named to the U.S. national team roster last summer.
Bergesen, a redshirt senior, has 15 goals this season, adding to a veteran group that includes senior Hannah Croghan and junior goalie Jillian Yocum, who were both first-team All-Big West in 2013. Croghan led the 'Eaters last season with 42 goals and 49 steals and her 26 assists ranked second on the squad. Croghan has 31 goals this season.
Senior Hillary Estrada was second-team all-conference last season, when Mitchell and Gabby Pierandozzi, both then freshmen, received honorable mention in all-conference voting.
The depth and offensive balance are ideal for Klatt and his staff, said Klatt, who in his 10th season continues to try to crack the perennial top-four programs of USC, UCLA, Stanford and Cal, ranked Nos. 1-4, respectively. Five of its six losses are to the big four, including two six-goal setbacks against Cal.
"We've had seasons in which we've had one person a little bit more out in front [in scoring]," Klatt said, "but truthfully, for us, I think it's really important to be well rounded. One of the things I preach is that if you have an open shot, you have to take it, because the defense needs to honor everyone. It's too easy in our game to just take away one player.
"I think our strength is our well-roundedness. I don't think we're blazingly amazing in one area, or that we're especially poor in some other area. I just think we're good at all areas."
The Anteaters are hoping to be good in conference play, to try to earn one of two first-round byes in the conference tournament that will go to the top two in the standings. UCI has won or shared four conference regular-season crowns in the Big West's first five years of existence.
"We're excited heading into conference, because we recognize that that is the best path for us into the NCAA Tournament," Klatt said. "It's the second phase of the season for us, as we try to build to the championship piece."
Klatt said Hawaii (13-6) poses a formidable opening foe, but there are no softies in the Big West. Cal State Northridge is ranked No. 7, Long Beach State is No. 12, UC Davis is No. 15 and UC Santa Barbara is No. 16.
Adding to the challenge is an extended stay in Hawaii, which Klatt said could have pluses and minuses.
"The [Rainbow Wahine] are really tough to play here in Hawaii, but we're really fortunate to have the game scheduled during spring break, so it allows us the ability to be here a couple days before we play the game and just kind of acclimate," Klatt said. "I think the allure of Hawaii is a challenge in itself for young people. We don't have a crazy travel schedule, because a lot of water polo is played in California. So to get the opportunity to go somewhere else and somewhere a little exotic is just exciting. But we had our first practice here [Tuesday] and I thought it was one of our best of the season. I think getting here a few days early allows [the novelty of travel] to wear off a little bit, so that by the time the game comes, the purpose of why we are here comes back into the forefront."
That being said, Klatt noted that there will be time to have some fun in the sun.
"Absolutely," Klatt said about chiseling out some free time for his student-athletes to enjoy their surroundings. "They will be able to enjoy a little beach time, the weather and the culture here. There's no way I could bring them over here and lock them down for five straight days without them hating me dearly by the end of the trip."
