What, social economics?
The study of economics needs another arm as significant as the study of the wealth of nations or that of business welfare, "the welfare of people." That's what "being born equal" was all about;" 'the rights of 'man'" and 'his' general welfare expectancy.
At this moment in the evolution of global economics, when what happens in the activities of stock markets hardly effect those without money to invest and those without money at all, the study of economics must include a section dealing with how those "earning a living" and the poor are to maintain a biological sustenance first of all and then a reasonable social standard of living.
Unions were an answer but not a very good answer to the manner in which human beings survive in money societies, where money sometimes and often means the difference between life and death.
Today's economic science is still based on and motivated by the surviving traditions of slavery, on people as workers, paid slaves. Unions operated on and still function where they exist on the notion of the better treatment of slaves of society. If the slaves are not "reasonable," then business will move to where slaves are better controlled.
To rid ourselves of slave mentality we most develop theory based on the freedom of "man," born free and born equal. We cannot continue to express these ideals while buying and selling slaves, paying wages insufficient to sustain life. We must discard all those laws based on work for the poor and leisure for the rich.
Survival of the fittest is not an element of evolution theory that relates to human survival within society. That is what present economic theories offer us, the best for those who best survive within a system.
Consumption theory is a perspective for making profit, keeping consumption of industrial products going. The trickle down theory on the other side is equally without reason, a trickle of money for work for those without money after the rich have attained and are sitting on it during recessions, hoping their weight will squeeze it sufficiently so that it becomes sufficiently liquid to make it trickle.
Most of our welfare laws are based on wages, welfare coming from and added to labor cost. Social security is a cost of work both to the laborer and to owner or the unknown stockholders. Some of what is denied in wages is transferred to deficient operations called social security. Minimum wage is a concept of minimum upgrading of an insufficient income for living to another level of insufficiency.
Affordable Health Care, often referred to as a socialistic program gains its appearance as such through the subsidies it provides not to the care recipient but if we look closer, to insurance companies, the privately owned and government subsidized hospitals and now privately organized doctor groups.
Economics as studied over decades has become a study of what is good for the slaveholders, the owners, business, stock-holders and today what is good for the best trained in predicting stock market climate and its changes. The market, it would seem, operates in other climatic conditions than those who require steady small sources of money merely to survive.
It would appear that we need another basic type of economic study, one where we measure the climate and the means for "earning a living," rather than the "job" one where people are trained for remaining in the "slave culture," trained for getting a job, where the "job creators" are in a sense the slaveholders, who have less interest in the welfare of the slaves than when they actually invested in slaves they owned.
If we are a nation of the people for the people and not yet by the people, it would seem that some of us should begin studying "human economics," for the people rather than so-called "progress" economics. Perhaps "income economics "might get us closer to human economics and what is often referred to as "equality."

Thanks to generous donors including alumni, students, parents and friends, the Triton Track and Field Stadium has received several updates, helping to position the facility among the top in the nation.
With gifts from generous donors, a video scoreboard was recently installed in Triton Track and Field Stadium. The electronic scoreboard allows race results to be viewed immediately during meets—of key importance to track and field athletes and spectators. The new electronic scoreboard increases UC San Diego's chances of hosting major events, including NCAA championships.
In addition, the family, friends and fellow students of late UC San Diego pole vaulter Leon T. Roach III came together to build a memorial for their friend and son. The picturesque Leon T. Roach Pole Vault Terraces offer spectators an opportunity to get an up close view of pole vault competitions. Read more here.
"Our thanks go out to our alumni, parents and friends," said men's track and field coach, Tony Salerno. "With the completion of the terraces and video board, UC San Diego certainly ranks among the top track and field facilities in the nation."
Yet, there is still more to be done to enhance Track and Field Stadium, which has yet to undergo major renovations since its completion more than two decades ago. To make a difference, please click here to make a gift to the Track and Field Facilities Fund.

Pros and Cons of an MFA, by K. M. Criddle
Great. Now I want a unicorn.
23 comments:
- M. Gray said...
Cute pro and con list. Go MFA! I want to get one, too.
- June 11, 2010 at 7:09 AM
- Natalie Whipple said...
If and MFA would give me a unicorn instead of a diploma, I might go for it.
- June 11, 2010 at 8:12 AM
- Debbie Barr said...
Yay! This is actually something I need to decide before fall semester. If I want to apply, I need to soon. I'm still not sure, though. The list helped. Especially the unicorn.
- June 11, 2010 at 8:50 AM
- Claire Dawn said...
I'm thinking about going for two main reasons.
1. I'm not American, and I'd love to have the experience in the American market.
2. I've been teaching for 3 years now, and will probably continue after I'm a writer anyways. If I want to teach writing (and literary translation) at university, I need the degree.
- June 11, 2010 at 9:01 AM
- Megs said...
I wish my pros-and-cons lists looked like that! It would make the decision process so much more fun and unicorn-filled. And who doesn't want a more unicorn-filled life?
- June 11, 2010 at 9:32 AM
I applied for an MFA a few years back, and when I didn't get in, I was incredibly RELIEVED. That was all I needed to make me realize that more school was definitely NOT what I wanted for my life. I love learning, but I hate school. :)

I'm still mulling it over. Such cute illustrations!

Dolphins and unicorns don't put in an appearance on the Open University's online forum. Creative writing?
- June 11, 2010 at 12:37 PM
- Katrina L. Lantz said...
So cute! Love the illustrations! *sigh* MFA. How you taunt me with your out-of-reach-ness.
Ms. Criddle, I'm glad they didn't beat that desire to write YA out of you! How snobbish of that meanest lady ever.
Best MFA programs? Cheapest?

This is so cute. I love the illustrations and little side notes. I especially like the unicorn.
- June 11, 2010 at 3:57 PM
- Myrna Foster said...
I'm glad you switched programs! Some of those professor people just don't get unicorns. ;o)
Nice Prose.
- June 11, 2010 at 4:46 PM
- Kathi Oram Peterson said...
Cute! The thought of having an MFA is intriguing, but the work to get it isn't. I'd rather be writing a book. The unicorn...now that's another story.

First, thanks to everyone for your kind comments! Katrina, as far as the BEST go, I have to admit I'm highly biased towards my own school, Simmons College in Boston. (Also the alma mater of Jo Knowles and Kristen Cashore) Candlewick, HarperCollins, Charlesbridge, and Barefoot Books and other publishing houses are right around the corner, so you're assured of getting some fabulous face time with some top names in the business. Other great programs for specifically writing for children and young adults include San Diego State University...just a look at the faculty is enough to make me melt. :)
If you're looking at writing for adults, I couldn't give you the best recommendations...just avoid places that claim to aim to "beat the (genre) out of you." There, I just saved you a semester's worth of trial and error.
Again, thanks! Kiersten's readers are the unicoolest.

This post made me laugh! I just sent in my deposit check for my MFA program - it's a low-res program in writing for children and YAs and I'm pretty excited about it, but I definitely did a ton of research to make sure I found the right place for me. I'm also really nervous about how going back to school will affect my working/sleeping schedule, since obviously I need to still work to pay those bills (as illustrated...literally.)

"... in the end, writingis all brain-sweat, typing-blood and revision-tears."
So, so true.
Thanks for the brilliance!

Who DOESN'T want a unicorn?
- June 13, 2010 at 6:21 AM
Brilliant post. You offer excellent advice on being careful about the school. I am a professional writer who studied creative writing at the undergrad level, and I do value that education.
Instead of going for the MFA, I decided to start working toward professional publication on my own. I am now under a multi-book contract with a major NY publisher.
A good friend of mine from college took the other route and decided to get her MFA. During her studies, she wrote a novel under the strict guidance of her professors. After earning her degree, she never sought publication of this novel. Stunned, I asked her why. "I didn't feel it was mine," she said. "It wasn't my voice any longer. It wasn't my novel. I plan to rewrite it someday."
That was many years ago. She has not rewritten the novel. She has not published anything since earning the MFA. This is why I believe your pros and cons list is quite valid. For some, an MFA is helpful. For others, not so much. For a percentage, I think it's fair to say that it might be harmful.
Any writer who wishes to be a professional should be educated in the field. But teachers cannot write your book for you, nor should you let them. Thank you so much. (Posting anonymously to protect my friend's identity.)

I'm going to feel so bad for whoever doesn't make it on the team, because we really do have such a deep field now.
and also hard because you don't have just ONE or TWO favorites out there US nationals is always so hard for me because of that!
I really a big fan of B/A, maybe a lot of people think tanith is a weak skater compared to other female. But actually she is the most attractive one and B/A has created really sence of enjoyment in most of their OD, and I strongly feel that tanith has dramatic changes in her extension and posture. I think Merly has really bad shape when she skate just as tanith before. However, this year when I looked at tanith's performance I found it is a new tanith look at her movement really beautiful!

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
In an effort to have some of the 128 stop signs around Huntington removed, Marie Johnson approached the Huntington City Council for the second time in as many months. "I appreciate your willingness to hear from us about the stop signs," said Johnson.
She stated the problem with speeding in Huntington is, and has been, obvious to everyone who lives there. "We need to slow them down, but I think the city moved too fast in installing the signs," stated Guymon. She said her research into this issue has revealed that the State of Utah has adopted the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices as state statute.
In reality, MUTCD guidelines are the law in Utah for municipalities to follow with the installation of such devices and signs and lights. Although the MUTCD guidelines are an adopted statute, there is no agency to enforce compliance in those municipalities.
Johnson also stated during her research, she has uncovered some concerns about liability following an accident. She said if an accident were to happen at an intersection where a noncompliant sign is located, the city would be liable for the damages to the parties involved. There is not one case where the person at fault for the accident was held liable over the entity who placed the noncompliant sign.
"I have a home in Huntington and I pay property taxes in Huntington, and I object to the city using that tax money to do things that are against state and federal statutes," concluded Johnson. "I think more investigation should have been done before placing the signs. I want to encourage everyone to turn in and identify speeders. The Utah Department of Transportation has funding available to help rural communities develop master plans for traffic control."
Danny Johnson commended the city for trying to solve the problem of speeding in Huntington. "My intent is to solve this problem with no contention and with everyone remaining friends," said Danny Johnson.
He expressed his disapproval of representatives of the city holding meetings with John Leonard and Troy Torgersen of UDOT on the matter of the signs. "I requested at the last meeting to be included in any meetings about this subject, and I feel it a violation of my request to be excluded from any further discussion of stop signs," stated Danny Johnson. "I feel deceived, put off and ignored."
Danny Johnson read from and article by Richard Beaubien, "The MUTCD states that stop signs should not be installed for speed control. One argument for this is that misuse of this traffic control device promotes lack of respect for all traffic control devices, and nonobservance of such devices is potentially hazardous. Perhaps a more effective argument is that stop signs are not effective in reducing speeds."
He went on to say, "There is liability in failure to follow the MUTCD. I urge Huntington to consult a traffic engineer about this issue. The removal of inappropriately placed signs will never make a city liable. I request that a motion be made to remove those signs before this meeting ends. I also request a vote so Huntington residents can see where each council person stand."
Following the presentations by the Johnsons, the meeting was open to public comment. Of the more than 20 residents who commented, less than half were opposed to the stop signs. Several of the others were opposed only to the four way stops. The majority of the citizens were convinced the signs have slowed the speeders and were working, and the time that it takes to stop is inconsequential as compared to the value of a child's life.
Safety of the children of Huntington was the most cited reason for agreeing with the installation of the signs. Most of the respondents complained of the lack of patrol and enforcement of the speeding laws in the city.
Emery County Sheriff's Sgt. Tom Harrison explained to the residents that the drivers in the city are on their best behavior when they see a marked police car, and as most of the deputies are in marked police cars, they do not see the worst behavior of the speeders. He said when they see an infraction, they act on it.
"You must remember there are only three officers on duty on the west side of the county. That is Elmo, Cleveland, Huntington, Orangeville, Castle Dale, Ferron, Clawson and Emery we must patrol. We do the best we can with what we have. Huntington gets extra patrol in the early morning hours and the remaining cities do not. Sheriff is very concerned with Huntington's safety, as well as the other cities in the county," concluded Harrison.
Councilman Bob Mills announced the meeting with Leonard and Torgersen was concerning the speed limits on SR-10 approaching the city limits. "As long as they were here, I asked them about the signs. It was not a private meeting. We're trying to figure things out," said Mills.
Mayor Jackie Wilson stated she has called Leonard and Torgersen and arranged for them to do a survey of the streets in Huntington. "Mr. Torgersen directed us not to take down the signs until he has completed his survey. Upon completion of the survey, he will make his recommendations to us and we will go from there," stated Wilson.

Exposure to retailers' tweets increases the likelihood of online purchases, Twitter says.
Zak Stambor
Twitter users are more likely to buy online than other Internet users, according to a new report from marketing research firm Kantar Media Compete and Twitter. 95% of Twitter users between Aug. 1 and Oct. 14 visited retail web sites, compared with 90% of all Internet users.
Moreover, consumers who see retailers' Twitter posts, or tweets, are more likely to buy online.
The report is based on an analysis of 2,000 consumers viewing Twitter on a PC who saw at least one retailer's tweet between August and mid-October. The report found that 38.9% of consumers who viewed at least one retailer's message subsequently made an online purchase during the study's timeframe. That compares with 33.4% of a control group of Twitter users who did not see any retailers' tweets and 26.9% of all U.S. Internet users.
The report also found that frequency matters—that is, the more consumers are exposed to tweets from retailers, the more likely they are to visit a retailer site and make a purchase.
As evidence of that, the report points to the following findings:
• 51.4% of consumers exposed to 12 or more tweets made a purchase on a retailer site (not necessarily the site of the retailer that sent a specific tweet).
• 45.9% of consumers exposed to five to 11 tweets bought online.
• 34.4% of consumers exposed to two to four tweets bought online.
• 33.4% of Twitter users who were not exposed to a retailer's tweet bought an item online.
Those findings bode well for Twitter given that one of the microblogging service's main advertising products is Promoted Tweets, which appear in a consumer's timeline like any other tweet. Like a regular tweet, the messages appear in the timeline once. As the shopper scrolls, the Promoted Tweet flows with the rest of the tweets in her timeline. The main selling point of the ad format is that it increases the odds that consumers will see marketing messages.
Shoppers clicking from a retailer's tweet to that merchant's web site represent a big opportunity, wrote Taylor Schreiner, co-head of Twitter's ad research division, in a blog post discussing the results. "Twitter users arrive on a retail web site with a higher intent to buy," he wrote. "Make it easy for them. Include links in tweets that streamline the path to purchase and special offers that incentivize taking action."

Not Hot EnoughOrdered these jumbo rollers to try along with Sultra 1,5" wand, which is the same diameter as the rollers. Wanted more volume in my hair. The rollers definitely gave me some curl, but very far from perfect and didn't do much to the hair in the back. I don't know whether my set was defective, but although it would heat up, the temperature indicator dot on the roller wouldn't light up! I thought it was odd, 'cause the instructions said it should. Also, 5 rollers is definitely not enough for the entire head. I ended up returning the rollers, and kept the wand, which created the perfect curl every time - no problem.Jan 8, 2014Olena Y. / NYCHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair

Delivers As PromisedThis set works as described however I only rated it a four because I was personally more interested in getting volume. I was hoping for the Victoria Secret volume look and this delivered much tighter curls than what I wanted. The 1.5" is too small to get the desired look, will use for the bottom portion of my hair and use the John Frieda 2" rollers for volume at the top. Summary - good if you want curls, but not good if you are looking for just nice VS volume.Jan 28, 2013Christina / CanadaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair

Works Really Well!The first time I tried this set I thought it wasn't working properly. I have curly hair, but I wanted to try waves for a different style. I blow-dried my hair and then tried setting it, but the waves were not very defined and I ended up with straight hair with a lot of volume. The next time I used the set I let my hair air-dry most of the way and then set my slightly damp hair with the rollers. This worked much better and I came out with nicely defined waves that lasted all day. (My hair tends to hold styles well in general.) The only con is that these rollers don't heat up as quickly as I thought they would. I also wish there was a better way to store the clips so they don't get lost.Nov 26, 2012ElizabethHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair

Fantastic Jumbo Rollers, Fantastic Price!Let me tell you that I am so glad I chose the BaByliss Nano Titanium Jumbo Roller set! Talk about an easy time saver! This is it! I had dinner plans with a girlfriend, but as usual, I was running super short on time. I set up and plugged in the Nano Titanium, brushed out my hair and started on my make-up while waiting for the Nano to heat up. It only took the Nano a couple of minutes to heat up. The little red dot indicator turned white in no time! It was ready to use. So I took the top crown part of my hair and clipped it up and sectioned the bottom half of my hair into three parts. I took the roller and rolled my hair up into the three sections, clipping them with the super awesome and easy to use clip to hold my hair in place. I then un-clipped the top crown section of my hair, divided it into two parts, and rolled my hair up into two sections. I left my hair in the rollers for about 10 minutes. Following the instructions, I unclipped bottom first, letting the rollers fall out, my hair instantly had big and beautiful curls. I didnâ??t even have to brush these curls out. They were ready to go. I was in such disbelief that my thick hair was styled by only 5 jumbo curlers and that it actually turned out well.Nov 22, 2012Jennifer M. / United StatesHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Travel Perfect Jumbo Size Rollers For Wavy, Covergirl LocksTruly JUMBO size (1 1/2" rollers) are VERY difficult to find in a travel size, and this set is perfect. I have long (24"), straight, naturally blonde hair that is THICK, THICK, THICK, and this set does the trick for putting in gorgeous, Victoria's Secret style waves.
Design is well thought out: cord wraps around base for storage, metal U-shaped clips store conveniently in front holding slot (put in curve side down for best fit with cover closed), voltage can be changed with simple switch on bottom when travelling, and 5 rollers are just enough for a full setting (2 in front, 2 in back, 1 underneath in back) - and my hair is thicker than everyone I know - and longer at 2+ feet, too. Overall size fits in my carry-on in a minimum of space, and is lightweight.
Personally, I love that metal clips are included, as I find they are far superior to horrid, space-sucking plastic clips. But for those of you that prefer that telltale "kink" in your hair because you haven't mastered metal clips, a set of the plastic butterfly clips is included, too.
I've owned my Babyliss set for over a year, and they work flawlessly. I also own the Helen of Troy Jumbo Travel Set (5 curlers arranged in a straight line), and find these to be much more convenient for travel, thanks to the compact design. The roller design is also easier to use than the H.T. set, as the Babyliss ends don't get so hot that your fingers burn - a common problem with the H.T. rollers. These Babyliss rollers are more expensive, but given how often you'll use them, I'm sure you'll find they're worth their steeper price.

"Despite how the shoes might look uncomfortable, it's not so bad when you wear it. I wear pointed toe heels at work all day and platform sandals during the weekends, so I have my share of feeling the brunt of uncomfortable shoes. These are not so bad. Also as long as you choose the right shoe size, it fits fine. The toes don't stick out too much. It gained a lot of attention when I wore it to a wedding reception dinner and also at work.

The X-Change Files explores the intersections of science and entertainment, regularly taking a look at the ways in which science is portrayed in film and television. Learn More
Sometimes something happens in the entertainment industry that becomes the subject of scientific inquiry. Social scientists occasionally seek answers to questions important either to the entertainment industry, society at large, or both.Take, for example, research being done in the field of economics. At least a dozen economists at several North American universities have been studying the impact file sharing has had on the music industry, in particular, sales of prerecorded music. Everyone is pretty much in agreement that file sharing, made possible and easy by advancements in computer and communications technology, adversely affected recording industry revenue during the 1990s and early 2000s. But how big a problem has it been? At least one economist thinks he has the answer, and it is rather startling.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government has halted a study testing treatments for a condition in the brain that can cause strokes. Early results suggest invasive therapies are riskier than previously thought.
The fairly rare condition involves arteries and veins growing knotted together until eventually some of them burst, causing a bleeding stroke. The question is whether treating these early could prevent that.
Early study results suggest it may be safer to leave these brain tangles alone: Safety monitors found people who received surgery, radiation or other invasive treatment had three times the rate of strokes and death than those given medication for headaches and other symptoms.
The government halted enrollment in the study but participants will be tracked to see how they fare over time.

Media madness or a pregnant pause, perhaps?
Was KOSI radio/9News personality Denise Plante pulling a prank on thousands of Facebook friends when she posted a picture of a pregnancy-testing stick she allegedly used on Oct. 16?
She let the drama play out as she posted evolving pictures of the stick as it was turning positive or negative. She even snagged 9News medical expert Dr. John Torres to witness the gag.
"Am I pregnant? We will soon find out, Dr. John Torres from @9News is in the house!" Plante posted. The plot thickened with pictures of the stick as it revealed her pregnancy status.
And the "results?"
"Turns out, I'm just a moody momma. Not pregos ... good news for (husband) Michael Plante."
Lakewood High to `Roar'
Congrats to Lakewood High School for winning the "Good Morning America" contest to have Katy Perry perform a song at their high school!
More than 2,000 Lakewood High students lip-synched to Perry's hit song, "Roar," as part of the school's video entry.
Perry announced the winner on "Good Morning America" Oct. 18.
"For me Lakewood really embodied a whole school spirit. You saw so many different people coming together to do one shot," Perry said Friday. "It was so interesting and so well done."
Amazingly, the video was shot in one take and has been viewed on Vimeo more than 564,000 times and earned 246,000 views on YouTube. 7News first reported the news.
Perry will perform at Lakewood High — the home of the Tigers (how's that for some cosmic karma!) — on Oct. 25 and will be broadcast on ABC's "Good Morning America." Proceeds from the concert reportedly will go to the Colorado flood relief effort.
Check out the video at http://vimeo.com/75058173.
Strings restrung
I've been back to Strings once since owner Noel Cunningham died. Since his wife, Tammy, opted to close the place (running a restaurant is not her thing) the building on 17th Avenue and Humboldt had stood like a monument to a time when the restaurant was frequented by celebrities from stage and screen, along with loyal locals.
When it was announced that there would be new life stirring in that space with the occupation of Humboldt Farm — Fish — Wine, a Rock Bottom founder Frank Day project, I, for one, was happy to hear of the rebirth.
Humboldt opened recently under the leadership of Concept Restaurants.
"From the instant our guests walk in and have that `wow moment' to the time they leave, we want to make sure their experience here is spectacular and memorable," said Concepts designer Dianna Lynn. "Whether you are on top of the Denver foodie scene or visiting Humboldt for the first time and looking for an amazing dining experience, we are a welcoming place for everyone."
The remodeled restaurant features an oyster bar and open kitchen. The menu features reinterpreted classics as well as seasonal and modern cuisine. Humboldt is open daily from 11:30 a.m. Weekend brunch starts at the end of October. For more information, go to www.humboldtrestaurant.com or call 303-813-1700.

Winners must be present at the time of the drawing and show valid ID. Limit one entry per person and two tickets per winner.
Additional tickets for the hit musical start at $40 by calling Denver Center ticket services at 303-893-4100, at the Denver Center ticket office or at www.denvercenter.org.
"The Book of Mormon" features story, music and lyrics by Colorado natives Trey Parker and Matt Stone of "South Park" fame, along with Robert Lopez.
`Mommy Rants' coming
The Athena Project — professional group of artists dedicated to women's artistic contributions to the Denver stage and the community — hosts "The Mommy Rants" for five theatrical shows on Nov. 2-3, 9-10 and 16.
This humorous one-act, one-hour performance promises to tell "what happens at a baby shower stays at a baby shower." "The Mommy Rants" was created by Connie Ferger and Christie Winn and takes you on the crazy journey of motherhood. Ah, yes, I remember those days!
"Mommy Rants" will be performed at the Rotunda Building at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design at 600 Pierce St. in Lakewood.
Show times for Saturdays are 1, 4 and 7 p.m. and Sundays at 10 a.m. and 1 and 4 p.m.
Tickets are available at 303-219-0882 or online.
If moms arrive 45 minutes before each show, they take advantage of the Mommy Pampering Boutique that includes free food, free massages, art and fine products geared toward moms. Drop-in day care also is available.

In 1.9 PDFs are not displaying according to the settings.
See http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=132906#p581622 for details.
In short, here are combinations and expectations:
1) Same window, navigation = No ..... PDF should be called directly and it isn't.
2) Same window, navigation = Yes, with Frame ..... PDF should appear in lower frame and it isn't.
3) Same window, navigation = Yes, without Frame .... PDF should appear embedded and it is (this is what happens for above two as well)
Apparently all that is needed is to remove $embedded = true but I'm not sure if that's 100% correct on all browsers. Can you review this and fix it?
Gliffy Diagrams

Same behavior as before the fix of
I guess it's just a wording error, the option should be named:
"Keep page navigation visible on the same page for html file"
Here is the situation:
- mp3, flv, mediaplayer, quicktime, flash, mpeg, zip, pdf, rm are always embedded in an object tag with a menu displayed at the top of the page . The option "Keep page navigation visible on the same page" doesnt affect them.
- html and other (like mp4) are affected by the option.
MDL-10021 fix didn't change the behaviors, it just added the possibility to choose between frame, noframe and object for HTML/unknown files
The resource code has been refactored in HEAD.
To fix this problem 1.9 does need to be refactored too. It will probably take a day of work so it's ok, but my main concerns are:
- It could bring some new bugs (for finally fixing a behavior that in fact didn't change). The code is messy.
- We probably would have a new wave of complains. (mp3, flv,... could be displayed differently, we need to alert people again,...)
If there is no mandatory needs to have mp3, pdf, displaying no menu or a frame, I'm really for doing no change, and just fixing the wording.
Thanks Jerome!
I'd really like to see all those types behaving as described in the current menu items ASAP. People should be able to use frames when they want to (as long as it is explicitly described so they know the pitfalls wrt accessibility).
I think fixing this is pretty simple, just removing the $embedded = true from those items in the switch statement to make those media types act like HTML and undefined media types do.
The main problem is going to be the change of behaviour in 1.9 stable.
1) Sites already in 1.9 are going to see slight changes in how courses are displaying.
2) Sites upgrading to 1.9 from earlier branches could see wierd changes in display ... not sure.
I'd like to see some community testing of all the upgrade permutations to make sure that we aren't going to introduce any major regressions here before we make these changes in 1.9.
no worries I'll do the change, add a patch here and ask the community on the forums.
it is not as simple as it, remove embedded = true will display the OS media player for MP3 file for example, we will lose all specific tags to the different extension, I need to refactor a bit the code...
just a reminder to update: http://docs.moodle.org/en/File_or_website_link#Keep_page_navigation_visible_on_the_same_page
I attached a patch. We still need to edit resource db/upgrade.php in order to manage different 1.9 config upgrade. I'll do it later however you can test the patch now.
I tested it quickly... The original issue was about showing pdf files like html pages - not the other embedded files - but even after this patch PDF (Keep page navigation visible on the same page - Yes, without frame) does not look "correct" (whole width and height) if $embedded is true for pdf because resource.class.php will skip over
if (empty($frameset) and !$embedded and !$inpopup and ($resource->options == "frame" || $resource->options == "objectframe") and empty($USER->screenreader)){...}
and source code will have something like

<object data="http://127.0.0.1/moodle/file.php?file=%2F3%2FTest_Page.pdf" type="application/pdf"><param name="src" value="http://127.0.0.1/moodle/file.php?file=%2F3%2FTest_Page.pdf" />To open this document, click on this link: PDF - Same Window - Nav no Frame</object>

If $embedded is false result seems to be more correct and moodle will use Yahoo javascript libaries for updating embedded object size with source code

<object id="embeddedhtml" data="http://127.0.0.1/moodle/file.php?file=%2F3%2FTest_Page.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="800" height="600">

Stunning shoes!!!
"I was pleasantly surprised to see that these shoes are absolutely stunning. The pictures online really do not capture the sexiness of the shoe.I am wearing them today for the first time. The shoes are tight around my toes but fine everywhere else. Other than that, the shoes are pretty comfortable. The fabric of the shoe is fantastic - especially in this Texas heat!!!I hope that the toe issue is just me needing to break in the shoes. If that is the case, I will definitely buy a second pair because the shoe is really that beautiful."

Posted on 03/04/2008 8:37:34 PM PST by forkinsocket
A burqa may not be the flirtiest garment ever invented for women. The highly modest head-to-toe robe even shrouds the eyes, so for centuries it's been difficult for women wearing them to send suggestive signals to men.
But now a German designer has debuted a digitally-enabled burqa that can broadcast a photo of the wearer to nearby mobile phones. Markus Kison calls it the "CharmingBurka," and says it isn't forbidden by Islamic law.
A model demonstrated a prototype of Kison's garment at the Seamless 2008 design and fashion show in Boston, a high-tech fashion event run with support from the Masschusetts Institute of Technology.
Kison says the burqa has a "digital layer" that incorporates a Bluetooth antenna, which lets women "decide for themselves where they want to position themselves virtually." Nearby mobile phones that also use Bluetooth will light up with any small file a woman chooses to broadcast as her identity -- a photo, a cartoon, a text file or even a sound clip.
Kison's broadcast technology started as a marketing tool; the so-called "Bluebot" system is meant to send digital advertisements to passing phones. But Kison's new design turns a burqa into a walking MySpace page.
(Excerpt) Read more at spiegel.de ...
So all women who wear burqas from now on are going to be in essence walking AIM convrsations.
i've been working on a prototype of this in my garage for years. i even mortgaged my house to pay for r&d. aargh! back to the drawing board...
This is wrong on so many levels. A Neanderthal society that imprisons its women in these primitive shrouds uses technology invented in the West to circumvent their inane religious rules. Unbelievably stupid.
Send treats to the troops...
Great because you did it!
What she is:
(Someone can surely make a revised pic, no?)
Somehow, the phrase "Pig in a poke" was coming to mind.
Oh nooo! When this tech gets into the hands of American teenagers, walking down the street will give you pages and pages of phone spam.
Medieval savages can't mix with a modern society no matter how many stupid ideas like this they come up with.
And thats exactly what a burka is. A Medieval outfit forced upon women to control them. The book of death, the Koran, doesn't even order women to wear burkas. Thats how idiotic all this pandering is. They are pandering to 8th century throwbacks.
I'm sorry, but I can't help but think she looks like a Ring Wraith! Albeit in blue, not black! LOL
This is so dumb — needing technology to see her face. Just let her take the stupid veil off.
That's totally irrelevant. The muzzie thought police will make up some excuse to stone the first woman they catch using one.
What's really stupid is that a woman could take a picture of herself somewhere else and send it from her phone anyway. Who needs a high priced burka.
I'm more surprised that they haven't yet invented a burka that has signal blocking capabilities so they can't use their cells phones. Maybe you could work on that instead, robomatik. ;)
On a plane trip to Oklahoma, I ended up sitting next to a plain clothes saudi male. Worked for the saudi oil industry. He was drinking wiskey the entire flight. Even he was admiting to me how messed up it was that you couldn't see what women looked like in public. I will always remember this, he said, "Dating in my country is the worst! You see a woman walking in a mall, and if you even find a way to get her your number, once the burka comes off, she ends up looking like Rosanne Barr!". He was soo wasted, he had to practically be carried off the plane.
All the years later, I never forgot that.
So true. How would a man know she really looks like what she is broadcasting? Maybe that will give the women an air of mystery. I can envision all these men on the streets checking out the babes on their cell phones. Too funny.
Misogynist Muhammad strikes another blow from the grave.
That will be small consolation after some honor killer sends your head rolling down the street.
Sometimes being on FR can really help with the old diet.
Who on earth would want to flirt with a muslim man in the first place? I just lost my appetite.
That is sooooo funny.
Can you put a pancake on his head?
You sure that's not Lazareth?
Speaking of things you don't forget, a good friend of mine and his wife worked in Saudi Arabia 30 years ago. When they entered the country, the customs / morals police used black magic marker to mark over all the lingerie ads in her fashion magazines — and those adverts weren't very racy back then, either. What an uptight society. No wonder it has so many weird pathologies.
"Nearby mobile phones that also use Bluetooth will light up with any small file a woman chooses to broadcast as her identity — a photo, a cartoon, a text file or even a sound clip."
The soon to be adopted technology of prostitutes for thier pricelist. Quicker than craigslist. lol
"Who on earth would want to flirt with a muslim man in the first place?"
Hello handsome! You smell of camel, not goat. Your eyes are black as the prophet's heart (pbuh), and your beard as thick as mine. If you desire to beat me no more than once a week, let's set a date.
I wonder if there is a fatwa in the works about this?
and this
It might The Reaper!
Don't worry, the imams will quickly reinterpret their Sharia law and fix any loophole......and the flirty ladies behind the veil will NOT be grandfathered in if they're using any electronic devices.
I would think that the intent of their stupid Burka law is to make women cover up and not show off any part of their female body so they won't tempt the men (who obviously are not expected to have any self-control).
So I would think the spirit of their stupid law is being violated here, so that if discovered the penalty for the woman would be the same if she was going around uncovered.
Actually, post 33 doesn't look so bad after all after seeing the one before.
I keep saying that some clothes should not be made in some sizes.
Looking at how she's wearing that burqua in the pic, I would expect to see the "scream" face in there...
Many thanks — great job. I've already sent them both along with the story to some of my friends. What a hoot!
Funny thing is they haven't worn these all over sacks for centuries. Just since the 1970s.

I will try to give you some insight on growing under lights from years of experience in doing so.
All fluorescents are not the same. Grow lights are made up of wavelengths within the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, green, and yellow of the spectrum that are suitable for plant growth that incandescent bulbs don't have. Plant lights are made to resemble full sun very closely and contain the wavelength in colors that plants need to grow. I don't want to get too technical so the above info is a short explanation.
The watt is usually related to the length of the fluorescent bulb. A 48" long tube will produce more light than a 24" one. The only information you need about a fluorescent light tube is that it is a grow light in whatever length you want.
You actually need 2 grow tubes placed side by side with 2-3" from each other in whatever lengths you choose. The reason is that there is a light fall off along the sides of the lights that is not strong enough to support plant growth. The strongest light is in the center. Place your sun loving varieties there and shade lovers more on the outer side. You can increase light at the edges by placing a large, white paper mat or board held up along the edges to reflect the fall off light back on to the plants.
This guide is suitable for plant lights, not for incandescent light. Measured from the top leaf.
Annuals, perennials, herbs, and vegetables---3-6" from the light
Cactus and succulents---3-6"
Observe your plants, if not enough light the plant will stretch upwards with leaves further apart. Move them closer to light source.
You can also increase light by using white paper, or aluminum foil, as I have done in the 3rd photo. As plants grow, I give them a "haircut" to prevent leaves from touching the tubes. This cutting won't hurt them.
Plants under lights are iris and daylily seedling from crosses I have made.

In addition to listening to music saved on the Walkman, it enables you to listen wirelessly to music saved in different devices via a Bluetooth connection.
Today, Sony announced the release of the new non-Android NW-A10 Walkman from their Walkman A series, the world's smallest High-Resolution Audio digital music player. It will be released on November 8.
NW-A17 (64GB) - About 35,000 yen
NW-A16 (32GB) - About 25,000 yen
Murata Manufacturing recently unveiled a team of 10 robots called the Murata Cheerleaders, which dance in formation while balancing on top of balls.
The Murata Cheerleaders are Murata's fourth generation of robots, following the bicycle-riding MURATA BOY in 1991, the second MURATA BOY in 2005, and the unicycle-riding MURATA GIRL in 2008. All of these robots incorporate Murata's proprietary core technology.

Most people cannot remember what they had for lunch the other day, or what the weather was like two weeks ago, or any number of small details about their daily lives. But for the handful of people with hyperthymesia, or "extreme autobiographical memory," these details are clear and vibrant. An individual with hyperthymesia could recall any detail from any day of his life – say, what the weather was on October 21, 1976, or what they ate for lunch on December 8, 1987 – as long as they lived it, they remember it.

Chris Ashton scored two tries for Saracens as they opened their Premiership campaign with a 40-3 demolition of London Irish on Saturday.
Chris Ashton scored two tries on debut for Saracens as they opened their Premiership campaign with a 40-3 demolition of London Irish at Twickenham.
Sarries took a deserved 12-3 half-time lead through the boot of Charlie Hodgson while Tom Homer responded with a penalty of his own for Irish.
The 2011 champions stepped up the pace in the second period as Ashton, Brad Barritt and Nils Mordt touched down to seal a comfortable victory.
Despite controlling the first period, the scoreline could have been tighter for the Saracens had Homer taken the three other opportunities that presented themselves.
Instead, it was Sarries' dead-eye marksman who provided the difference once again. Having already put his side in the lead with a three-pointer, Hodgson added another after Ofisa Treviranus was sin-binned for the Exiles.
Ashton then made an inauspicious start to his Saracens' career by getting yellow carded and they were made to pay when Homer finally got his side on the board.
However, two more penalties from the Sarries' fly-half took them nine points clear at the interval.
Despite an error-ridden opening half, the game sprung into life in the second period when Ashton made up for his earlier indiscretion by touching down.
He then helped set up the second converted score for Barritt as Saracens moved clear.
Irish tried in vain to get back into the game but, even when Kelly Brown was sin-binned, they struggled to break down a typically strong defence.
And the rout was sealed by two late tries from the England international winger and substitute Mordt, Hodgson adding the extras to both.

For Saracens:
Tries: Ashton 2, Barritt, Mordt
Cons: Hodgson 4
