NMS Parking Lot Traffic Guidelines
One way traffic enters from a new driveway farther north on Oregon and exits out the old entrance/exit. When entering the drop-off/pick-up drive, please pull up to the second speed bump or furthest open space. Use the left lane/bypass lane to carefully pass on the left or to advance to the furthest opening. NOTE: THE SPEED LIMIT IN THE PARKING LOT IS 10 MPH!! Drop-off or pick-up your child from the lane adjacent to the sidewalk and then carefully pull-out into the left lane to exit. All students should be dropped-off or picked-up from the lane adjacent to the sidewalk. Please do not pick-up/drop-off students in the left by-pass lane. You may drop-off/pick-up your child at any spot adjacent to the sidewalk. Please do not wait to get in front of the main entrance walk to drop-off/pick-up your child as this causes delays. Always pull ahead to the furthest open spot in the drive. This plan was developed in 2011 with input from the NMS PTSO, District Facility Leadership, and Tower Pinkster Architecture and Engineering firm.

Why do we need a film classification board?
A film classification board helps consumers make informed choices about the films they see. Movie viewers have asked for information on age-suitability (the classification) and content (advisories such as Coarse Language, Violence, Nudity, etc.) of films. This information assists them in deciding whether a particular movie is appropriate for their children, or for themselves. Many countries, including the United States, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Norway, Denmark and Sweden have film classification boards that provide equivalent services to the public. |

Rosetta Genomics Ltd. (USA) (NASDAQ:ROSG)
The Company is seeking to develop and commercialize new diagnostic and therapeutic products based on a recently discovered group of genes known as microRNAs.

Is it game over for Rosetta? The traders seemed to have moved on after the hype and the dilution, and the share price has been sinking back towards a rational level. Management is still given to making preposterous claims such as a 600M annual market opportunity for miReview mets2, but they've booked some serious cash from dilution which gives them a lifeline. Hopefully they'll use that lifeline to tie some interesting knots in the next few months and I'll be able to play along.
Rosetta Genomics LTD is a swing trade in my CAPs world. Along with GENE.
I can call them up or down, but if you are mimicing me, you can miss the swing unless you use limits.
Up call this time. New investors bought around $5. Not always security in a small float, diagnostic company, but some chance of a floor. Buyout rumors, small float, etc, can spike this. It could also go into a long term down trend. Past spikes, trading ranging are no guarntee of history repeating itself.
CAPS Mileage may vary.
New shares issued around $5.00 helped set a floor, but may add liquidity, slowing these erratic, high beta runs. Trade between $5.30 and $6.00. Hit it on either side. May get caught at any given point. NOTE 3 month "estimate". Most likely 7-10 days and back out before this catches a low float, short covering, temporary, but painful, speculating updraft.
israeli company which is doing well for TSIF.
This is the best speculative opportunity I have ever seen since I have started investing in stocks 7 years ago. Rosetta Genomics had been knocked down close to insolvency because it couldn't sell its technology. For starters its technology was way ahead of its time and is now coming into the lime-light as targeted cancer theraputics are the next revolution of the battle against cancer. Rosetta genomics can help pin-point an early detection or probability of certain types of cancers and owns 40% of the intellectual property rights in the genomics space. Rosetta Genomics deals with micro Rna's and has recently been approved by Medicare to cover its Mets2 testing. This will expose the test to 45 million medicare participants and 200k patients in direct need of the CUP (cancer of unkown primary test). Rosetta Genomics is in the right space at the right time as Genomics is heating up across the board. ROSG has also recently raised enough money to avoid bankruptcy and to buy time to build its new business model. ROSG at $10/share is sporting a 24m market cap. Most of Rosetta's peers are at least double in size. Based on Rosetta's intellectual property rights and its new approval I'm guessing it will be a 10 bagger in 5 years.

Would ye guys prefer HU omaha or 6 max ?
I'm just starting to watch novice vids now. Three I have found in the intro vein are "Hellomaha", "Solid State PLO", and "2x6" by Vanessa Selbst (I haven't watched any of this one yet but it pretty much has to be good).
All of those are 6max focused I believe.
PLO commonalities seems to be pretty straightforward intro to standard PLO thinking, although the stakes his hand examples come from are pretty up there.

Ann Wagner, a partner at Ludwigs Jewelers in Chambersburg, was named the 2012 Business Person of the Year by the Greater Chambersburg Chamber of Commerce at the chamber's annual business breakfast on Thursday. (Submitted photo / December 6, 2012) |
Ann Wagner, a partner at Ludwigs Jewelers in Chambersburg, was named the 2012 Business Person of the Year by the Greater Chambersburg Chamber of Commerce at the chamber's annual business breakfast on Thursday.
Wagner, who is a partner with her two sisters in the business at 121 S. Main St., was chosen because of her business and charitable contributions to the community.
"It really means a lot to receive an award like this," Wagner said. "This goes to my whole family — my sisters, my nieces and the employees at the store."
Wagner is a registered jeweler with the American Gem Society. She is a graduate of Penn State.
Wagner is a board member of Downtown Chambersburg Inc.
Wagner is one of 17 people to be inducted into the Greater Chambersburg Chamber of Commerce Hall of Fame for longtime outstanding service to the organization.
Wagner serves as secretary and chairwoman of the Downtown Partnership Committee and is a member of the Crab Feast Committee. She also serves on the board of the Downtown Business Council of Chambersburg, where she chairs the Old Market Day and Parade committees.
Wagner assists at downtown events such as Old Market Day and the Christmas parade and helps coordinate them.
"Downtown businesses don't employ as many people (as some others), but they are absolutely vital to the economy," said Suzanne Miller Trinh, chairwoman of the chamber's board of directors. "She's always looking for ways to help the community, and downtown in particular. Anytime you need help with anything downtown, Ann is always there."
Wagner chairs the Capitol Theatre Foundation, is the creator and committee chair of the Pop A Cork for the Capitol fundraiser, which has raised more than $15,000 for the theater, and supports the theater in other ways. She recently offered community members the opportunity to take their silver and gold items to Ludwigs to have them converted to a tax-deductible cash donation to the theater.
Wagner also has served on the Council of the Arts board of directors and is active in her church.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) -- The Carolina Panthers reported to Wofford College for training camp Friday with pillows, small refrigerators and a new sense of optimism.
After winning four of their last six games in 2011, the Panthers believe they have what it takes to make some noise this season. Center Ryan Kalil declared as much when he took out a full-page advertisement this week in a Charlotte newspaper predicting the Panthers would win their first Lombardi Trophy.
Wide receiver Steve Smith believes there's a different feel entering his 12th season with the Panthers. He says "it has to be'' different, especially with quarterback Cam Newton a year more experienced, coach Ron Rivera, offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski and new players on board.
The Panthers open their three-week camp Saturday night.

Thursday: SPFHS SADD Chapter Will Film PSA After Winning Nationwide Contest
The students will work with an Emmy-winning TV producer on a professional public service announcement.
Several dozen students and teachers at Scotch Plains – Fanwood High School will participate in the filming of a public service announcement written by students of the SADD Chapter at the school. The filming is the prize in a national competition by SADD and The National Road Safety Foundation.
Filming runs from 10 a.m. to about 2:30 p.m., Thurs., April 25 at the high school and nearby locations in Fanwood. (10 a.m. filming at King St. & Tanglewood St. and noon to 2:30 filming is at the high school.)
Original Story, Feb. 17, 2013:
The following information was provided by SADD and the National Road Safety Foundation.
Six students in the Scotch Plains–Fanwood H.S. SADD Chapter submitted a storyboard for a public service message in the DrivingSkills101 contest, which asked for ideas to communicate various traffic safety messages. Nick Patel, Lucy Hollander, Amanda Marcus, Rachel Schack, Mia Rossi and Caitlin Flood, all 16, won for their public service message called "Share the Road."
The teens will work with Emmy-winning TV producer Alan Weiss, who will visit the school this month to develop their storyboard concept into a professionally-produced public service announcement that will be seen nationwide. The winners will also receive a grant from the National Road Safety Foundation to help pay their travel expenses to the SADD National Conference this summer in Orlando, where their video will be shown to nearly 1,000 attendees from throughout the U.S.
The students' winning idea encourages drivers to share the road by being aware of other drivers. It shows two football players who say "We don't share the field," as one tackles the other who has the ball. The next scene shows two soccer players fighting for the ball as they say, "We don't share the ball." One basketball player blocks the other as he takes a shot, saying "We don't share the hoop."
Each player is then shown avoiding a dangerous driving situation by keeping his eyes on the road and watching for cars turning, changing lanes and merging into traffic. All the players then say, "When we step onto the field, sharing isn't our thing. But on the road, sharing is our only option."
Chapter advisor is Marjorie Fitzgibbon.
SADD is the nation's leading youth-based, peer-to-peer education, prevention and activism organization dedicated to preventing destructive decisions, particularly underage drinking, other drug use, risky and impaired driving, and teen violence and suicide. For more than 30 years, SADD has empowered youth and families to promote positive decision-making and choose healthy lifestyles. Discover more at sadd.org and parentteenmatters.org.
The National Road Safety Foundation (NRSF), celebrating 50 years, has produced films and teaching materials that have been used to train millions of young drivers about the dangers of drinking and driving, speeding, aggressive driving and distracted driving. All NRSF programs are made available free of charge. The Foundation partners with youth advocacy groups like SADD to encourage young people to be aware of safe driving issues and to educate their peers about them. NRSF sponsors contests for teens, which can be seen at the "Teen Lane" pages of the Foundation's site at www.nrsf.org.

SPFHS SADD is thrilled about the recognition, thanks so much!

"Find a place for my parents was overwhelming for me, trying to go literally through the yellow pages and visiting each and every facility listed. A Place for Mom simplified the search and the care that they received was unparalleled. The staff members cared for each of them with the love and devotion they would have given their own parents. The blessing my parents and I received was immense and I will never forget it."

"Thank you for your assistance with this daunting task. I especially appreciate that you asked precise questions about mom's situation and quickly narrowed our initial search based on her needs. That was so much easier than the shot-in-the-dark searching and calling I had gone through before I contacted A Place for Mom. I am also grateful for your patient answers to my many questions and for the MySearch tool, which enabled me to easily keep track of my contacts and notes."

Even superpower US panders to Israel, says Dr M
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 — There is substance to allegations that Israel rules the world by proxy, says former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
"I wonder whether people notice it or not, but presidential candidates of the United States of America, the sole superpower, all have to seek approval from Israel.
"Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate for president, has just made the pilgrimage. And he has made a public pledge that he will be even tougher against the Palestinians and Iran than Obama (US President Barack Obama)," he said in his latest entry in his blog at chedet.cc today.
Dr Mahathir believes Obama will soon make this pilgrimage and make more promises to fight for Israel.
"This situation is odd and Malaysians would not think this approach is proper during the national general election.
"What if Malaysian candidates for elections have to visit a neighbouring country to pledge our friendship or support for it?
"Our elections are about gaining the support of Malaysians for the party that will form the government. What other countries think of our government's policies is irrelevant," he said.
Apparently, Dr Mahathir said, it was not the case with America, whereby all candidates must literally pledge loyalty to Israel or risk losing the elections.
"It is not about what is good for the Unites States which counts.
"One can imagine the policies that will be adopted by whichever government or president wins, and it is clear the United States cannot ignore Israel's views when reacting to anything of concern to Israel.
"Looks like the tail is wagging the dog," he said. — Bernama

The most important thing to me during your wedding is that I capture the feelings of your day. The feelings you have for each other most of all, but also for your friends and family, the feelings that they have for you, and the mood of the celebration. I want to ensure that many years from now, when you look back at your wedding album with your grandchildren, you'll remember exactly how you felt that day and they will be able to easily imagine it themselves.
Before your wedding:
First we'll have a phone consultation to get to know each other a little, discuss any details that may already be planned, and roughly outline the process. Next, we'll plan your special complimentary engagement shoot! We'll meet up right before the session to get to know each other better in person and to go over more wedding details. The engagement shoot is really fun and stress free. It's a very important part of us getting to know each other and having you both feel more comfortable in front of my camera. This is invaluable to the wedding day and allows us to get the very best photos in the shortest amount of time. About a month before your wedding day, I'll have you fill out a finalized timeline/information sheet in case of any schedule adjustments.
During your wedding:
You have me for the whole day! I will show up during hair and makeup and photograph getting ready details, final makeup touches, groom and groomsmen getting ready. If you decide to do a first look, we'll take care of your bride and groom portraits at the same time. If not, then we'll do them after the ceremony with any other portraits you'd like taken. During the ceremony I will be as inconspicuous as possible and photograph things as they happen naturally. The reception will be mostly candid/photojournalistic style as well, with a few posed photos here and there.
After your wedding:
If you would like to see some of your photos featured on facebook in the form of a sneak peek or preview, I will post a few on my business page while you wait for your final gallery. When all of your photos are finished, we'll set up a time to meet and look at them together. You'll have the opportunity to purchase albums or print products at that time. You'll also receive your disc of images if that was part of your original package. You and your friends and family may also purchase from an online web gallery within the following 30 days after our viewing appointment.

Woman and child at Soumbedioune fish market. Greenpeace is campaigning in West Africa for the establishment of a sustainable, low impact fisheries policy that takes into account the needs and interests of small-scale fishermen and the local communities that depend on healthy oceans.03/31/2012
© Greenpeace / Pierre Gleizes
Living For A Cause is a series of web shorts presented by Greenpeace International Executive Director, Kumi Naidoo. In episode three, Kumi reflects on civil disobedience and his experiences taking direct action.
In April 2013, four young Arctic ambassadors trekked to the North Pole on an expedition organised by Greenpeace. Their mission was to place a time capsule - carrying the "Flag for the Future" - on the seabed to call for the protection of the Arctic.
As Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) members gathered to meet in Mauritius, a flotilla of local fishermen held a joint protest with Greenpeace, calling on the IOTC to act now and clampdown on overfishing. Greenpeace is also attending the IOTC...

Matt Forte will be heading into his contract year in 2011. He is arguably our most important offensive player and he bounced back from a sophmore slump in 2009.
I think that the Bears should look to extend him right now or early in the offseason and make sure that our young feature back does not ever sniff another uniform.
I know this is very dependant on a new CBA, but what would his contract look like?
My guess is similar to the Jamal Charles contract with the Chiefs,

INDIANAPOLIS -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Officescape's Telework Management Platform allows organizations to take control of telework program administration and policy enforcement and provides a level of transparency not found in any other telework management solution. It brings all of the essential components of a successful telework and mobility program together in one place and allows convenient, controlled access for users, managers and executives, from a web-based interface. Using this platform, organizations can have real-time reporting and statistics at their fingertips and can make informed decisions about the future of their telework program, with business objectives in mind.
In the light of recent decisions, by Yahoo! and others, to reduce or eliminate existing telework programs, the issue of proper telework management has been brought to the forefront. Managing a large remote workforce, like Yahoo's can be difficult and weaknesses in telework policy or a lack of management oversight or proper solutions can significantly reduce the value of a telework program. Many times, the corporate office and key executives have little to no insight into the size of their telework program, the associated costs, ROI or comparative productivity statistics because they choose not to manage many essential telework elements due to cost concerns.
Using Officescape's cost-effective telework platform, each telework component can be administered, accessed and managed in one place, with customized and automated reporting available at any time. Teleworkers can login to the platform to access and utilize assigned services, submit PTO requests, reserve on-demand or hoteling space and communicate with other teleworkers via private instant messaging or web phone. Officescape's telework management platform maximizes the value of any telework program and ensures that organizations always know where they stand with their telework program.
Officescape, Inc. is an industry-leading office service and solutions provider utilizing cloud-based technology to fulfill business needs as a service. Having established industry benchmarks with its Office on Demand℠, Progressive Office service suite and telework solutions, Officescape's innovations continue to improve the way the world does business, making business solutions more mobile, flexible and secure. Officescape's unique solutions platform provides anytime, anywhere access to all of these solutions and simplifies their management. For more information about Officescape's full line of services, visit www.officescape.com, follow on twitter @Officescape or call 888.893.1234.

Smart living: My home is my power station
Applications to become the next tenants in AusGrid's experimental Smart Home in Newington, Sydney, closed on Wednesday, after a month-long search for the perfect new candidates. The winning family – to be known as the Jetsons 2.0 – will live for 12 months rent free in the house that comes complete with cutting edge energy efficient appliances and technology, water efficient appliances and fixtures, a Mitsubishi i-Miev EV, a BlueGen fuel cell, as well as a solar pergola and rooftop solar.
And according to the inaugural Smart Home family – the 'Jetsons 1.0′ who left the house in mid January after an 18-month residency – they're in for an interesting (if not necessarily space-aged) and memorable stay. More than 160 families applied to be the first tenants in the Smart House, and a similar number were expected to apply to be their successors.
"The really impressive stuff is interconnected and all but invisible," Clare Joyce wrote in the family's farewell blog post, about her time in the Smart House with her partner Michael Adams and their daughter Ava. "It's less 'sexy' but much more substantial. The BlueGen fuel cell, which converts gas to electricity, is the core of the house. It supplies a whopping amount of electricity, which powers the Smart Home and charges the i-MiEV electric car."
In fact, according to Ausgrid energy efficiency expert Paul Myors, analysis of energy use and generation at the smart home during the original Jetsons' residency showed it was producing enough electricity to power two average households.
"The Smart Home in essence has become a fully functioning power station," Myors said. "The fuel cell used gas and waste heat to produce most of the on-site power, but with 65 per cent less greenhouse gas impact than power sourced from the grid.
"Combined with the solar pergola and rooftop solar system they produced an average 32 kilowatt hours per day – much more than the family was typically consuming inside the home," he said. "However, there were a number high use times, or peak times, when the home still relied on the grid for power."
But the team at Ausgrid have learned some important lessons, too. The fuel cell broke down for three weeks during winter, the Climate Wizard air-conditioning system, says Joyce, "was an energy and water hog and after many fits and starts it broke down for good during last year's heatwave (we do hope this tech can be made viable, because in theory it's terrific)."
The Ausgrid team also learned not to be too ambitious about the range of the EV. A charging station had been installed in the Joyce's relatives's home in Springwood in the Blue Mountains. The only problem was, apparently, that the EV didn't quite made it all the way up the hill.

I would not choose this place again. There was incredible lint under the bed and my linens were also full of lint from the blanket ( I hope). Bath seemed clean and was up dated. Small elevator and only one so prepare to use the steps. Other that the location there is nothing to recommend this one.

2006 Hyundai Sonata
Another case of "much better, but still not that great..."
The Sonata will finally look like it was designed in our lifetime when the all new model comes out next March as a 2006.
So now, it almost look as modern as a 2002 Camry. With a few 2002 Audi touches stuck in there, to attract a bigger audience in Europe.
Japanes cars aren't very popular in Europe, so Hyundai figures it might be a better move to copy European designs, than Japanese ones. European designs are popular in Europe AND in the US. Good thinking ...
The other news are just the usual. The base engine is a new 2.4Liter. And the V6 is also new, but has grown to 3.3 Liter and over 220 hp. Who really needs that in a mid sized familly car.
A coupe is supposed to be introduced a year later. Let's hope it doesn't look exactly like the previous Solara...
Same story inside. Except there, it still looks much more Japanese than European. It actually looks pretty much influenced by the current Camry.
I am sure it is a pretty good car. But Hyundais mostly sell because they are cheaper. And that might end up still being the case with this one...

European? The Sonata looks more like a glorified Taurus to me, especially the rear end. It seems like Hyundai is going retro, but not retro enough - mid-90s maybe.

They're nice in person. And in the driver's seat. I'm waiting to see the new flagship Azera though.

The Illawarra could be in for a long, hot - and dangerous - summer according to Rural Fire Service Zone Superintendent Richard Cotterill.
With another total fire ban in force statewide today, Mr Cotterill said that, based on previous experience, this year's bushfire season could last until April.
"We've seen a fairly late, hot start to the summer," he said.
MORE: Home after grisly search through embers
MORE: Some relief ahead for scorching heat
"The way things are shaping up at the moment I wouldn't be surprised to see a late fire season extending through into March and maybe early April, potentially.
"Even if we don't get the warmer weather into March and April, the fuel stays dry.
"If you look at the last couple of years we've had a few rainy summers, this year we've had a fairly dry summer.
"So if we don't get fairly significant rain the fuel moisture is going to stay very, very low well beyond the end of summer anyway."
Which is why the RFS is casting a wary eye over the region this weekend. With temperatures predicted to climb past 30 degrees and low humidity, Mr Cotterill said it suggested "severe fire weather".
"That's nowhere near the catastrophic level we saw earlier in the week but we will see a severe fire danger rating," he said.
He said the catastrophic rating on Tuesday and the heavy coverage of the fires burning across the state should ensure that people didn't become complacent about the fire threat.
Meantime, firefighters were yesterday still working to contain a blaze at Deans Gap west of Sussex Inlet.
The fire, which started on Monday, has burned out more than 8000 hectares of bushland. Fortunately the only property loss as of yesterday was a single small shed lost on Tuesday night.
Shoalhaven RFS media liaison officer James Morris said the cooler weather of the last few days had allowed fire crews to strengthen containment lines ahead of this weekend's expected high temperatures of around 35 degrees.
"That is quite warm and the perfect conditions for fire to burn," Mr Morris said.
"However what is on our side is that we have very low winds which are going to slow down the fire a little bit. It will still burn because of how dry it is here - the fuel moisture content is very, very low."
What wind there is will be coming from the north-west and north which Mr Morris said would push the fire towards further bushland rather than nearby communities like Berrara, Bendalong and Lake Conjola.
As of yesterday, Mr Morris said residents in those areas were not being evacuated - and some that had left earlier in the week had returned. Instead they were being told to stay put, be aware of the fire status and avoid complacency.

As a student studying rhetoric at the graduate level for the last two and a half years, I had always felt uncomfortable when people asked me, "so, what is rhetoric anyway?" It wasn't like I didn't have an answer or general definition of rhetoric, but my conceptualization of rhetoric felt fragmented, ungrounded even. Having never taken a history of rhetoric course, I acquired my working definition of rhetoric from teaching composition courses and taking rhetoric-related courses (composition studies, multimedia theory, online identity, etc). Similarly, I was uncomfortable with writing the word rhetoric in papers. I swapped out words all the time: discourse, composing, literacy, communication, meaning-making, writing. I felt like rhetoric had an immense amount of baggage attributed to it—baggage that I had never examined in historical detail.
After this course, I still feel like rhetoric has baggage. What complex concept/practice doesn't? But, for me, it's this long-standing theory building (and disrupting) that makes rhetoric so malleable, interesting, and important.
I'll be using the word more often now—baggage and all.
My takeaways:
- Avoid paralysis. Find your niche, mention its limitations, then work with it.
When I think back on the course's progression—studying the Greco-Roman canon then moving into theory that disrupts the canon—I feel a sense of paralysis. (I'm thinking specifically about the Octalog discussions here.) How can we move forward? Do we work within the system of rhetoric whose traditions stem back 2,500-plus years? Or do we disrupt the system, asking critical questions about the practices that get privileged? Do we seek to contextualize rhetoric based on the social, economic, political, temporal, etc. factors that affect how we communicate/who gets to communicate?
Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
It's easy to get bogged down in such questions. And for good reason—they're extremely important. If we think of rhetoric as the art of "shaping content" (Covino and Joliffe), these questions should remain central to our study. However, I want to be mindful that all projects will likely have holes, aspects that are vulnerable to critique. Importantly, I want to be extremely attentive to issues of power, access, and agency. I want those issues to be central to my work. I don't want, however, to be paralyzed from studying how discourse is working (or has worked) in particular contexts. In essence, I think it's more useful to work within and react against the "canon" than avoid it altogether.
Although this take-away deals more with research and scholarship, I see it as playing out in the classroom, too. Is it oversimplified to offer students an Aristotelian definition of rhetoric? Maybe. I think, though, that we have to start somewhere…and then continually complicate definitions, assumptions, and implications.
2. Public rhetoric: can it be done in the classroom?
Public rhetoric has been an interest of mine since our readings of 19th-century rhetoric (Grimke, Douglass, Wells, etc.). Their aim to effect some sort of social change reminded me of the important work rhetoric does. These rhetors show how issues of power are always embedded in rhetorical situations. For me, studying these rhetors augmented my understanding of rhetoric and my ability to teach it. Discussing the public sphere—where rhetoric has its roots (the polis)—seems like an essential way to teach rhetoric.
As we moved on throughout the semester, though, readings questioned the extent to which public rhetoric can be practiced within the confines of the classroom (I'm thinking here: Powell; Crowley; Foucault; and Sheridan, Ridolfo, and Michel).
Although I think agency is always negotiated based on various constraints of a discourse community, I've found that discussing rhetoric in terms of reaching a real public to be productive. Moreover, students who have aims to publish their work in public venues, I have found, are often more successful in their writing. Also, in their reflections for inquiry 4, my students were much more successful at discussing audience considerations than the previous inquiries. They noted that publishing their videos on YouTube gave them greater awareness of their rhetorical purpose.
As an endnote, I'd like to mention my confidence in teaching composition has been improved by taking this course. And now that we're nearing the course's end, I can't wait to make some changes to my 111.

By TAY TIAN YAN
Translated by DOMINIC LOH
Sin Chew Daily
An interesting story from Singapore:
There was a durian tree growing in a public area in a HDB estate.
No one was sure from where the tree had come, nor by whom it had been planted. No one actually paid any attention to it, treating it just like another tree, until one day when the tree bore the fruit and durians started to fall on the ground.
The residents started to pick the durians, even fighting for them.
Arguments began to erupt. Everyone thought he or she was most suited to harvest the durians while a handful even contested they had exclusive rights to the tree.
A said, "Measuring by the surface distance, the tree is closest to my house. It should be mine."
B said, "Measuring by the point-to-point distance, it is nearest to my house. I should be the one claiming it."
C said, "Historically, I was the first to move into this estate, so the durian tree is mine."
D said, "Based on oral history, my grandfather first discovered the tree. So it should be our family asset."
E said, "Where contribution is concerned, my dog has left behind natural fertiliser beneath the tree. It is most positively mine."
As the arguments got heated up, durian bullies began to appear, taking on anyone trying to approach the tree.
An erstwhile quiet neighbourhood became a boisterous battle ground as residents pointed fingers at one another.
Finally the government stepped in to nationalise the tree, and put it under the jurisdiction of the city council. Nevertheless, residents continued to fight over the durians.
The controversies around the durian tree reflect the squabbles now taking place over the islets in South China Sea.
These islets were existent long before any modern nation, or the human race, came into existence.
The islets are scattered in the middle of the open sea, far from the rest of the world and completely uninhabited. No countries have been particularly interested in them for a very, very long time, until modern nations started to occupy them, calling them their own for the sake of oil and gas and fishing resources.
Country C said, "XX island has been the uncontested territory of our country since time immemorial."
Country P said, "XX island is nearest to our country geographically and no other countries should attempt to put their hands on it."
Country V said, "Our forefathers were the earliest to set foot on this island. It is undeniably ours."
Country I said, "An ancient record putting the island within our territorial map is the best evidence of our possession."
Country K said, "Even the dogs on this island understand our language, attesting to the fact that it is indeed part and parcel of our civilisation."
In the end, island bullies start to appear. The country with a powerful fleet of warships would first dispatch its fleet to the disputed island to claim sovereignty, while weaker states seek the help from the Big Brother.
"Mutual development and resources sharing" is only a diplomatic discourse. Whenever there is an opportunity, any country would rush to claim sovereignty over the tiny islets.
Whomever they belong to, neither the durian tree nor the South China Sea islets will ever be able to decide for themselves.

A new article about Jim Coffey appeared in yesterday's issue of the Roscommon Herald . I have previously written about Jim, a professional boxer who came to the United States from Ireland in 1919 and returned to his homeland sometime between 1920 and 1923.
Coffey had fought more than 100 fights but only about 44 of them had been officially ruled on. His record at retirement in 1920 was 38 wins and 6 losses.
Interested readers can click on the above Roscommon Herald link to read this latest article celebrating his life as an Irish Catholic boxer.
I do not know how long articles from the Herald remain online.

Serving some 60 children at the Head Start facility in Garland has hit a snag, with representatives from new grantee Telamon Corporation citing various building code issues preventing the center from being used and necessitating children be bussed to Roseboro until the proper repairs can be made.
The news blindsided Garland residents and caused an uproar from the town's board members and parents, who questioned why the matter was not brought to the community's attention earlier — parents said they never were contacted, which Telamon conceded was true — and what needed to be done to get the facility, located at the old high school building on Church Avenue, up and running.
The matter was discussed at length during a special meeting Thursday night. Following the meeting, another special session was slated for 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 31, so town officials, along with those from Telamon and former grantee Sampson County, could tour the current facility and discuss what steps were necessary to renovate the structure.
Telamon Corporation was awarded all Head Start services in Sampson County, effective July 1, after the county relinquished control of the program. That includes services for 417 children, including 72 Early Head start children (0 to 3 years old) and 345 Head Start children (ages 3 to 5). Early Head Start services will begin Aug. 1 and Head Start by Sept. 10.
"As it stands now, we do not have the funding necessary to outfit Garland to the standards in which we would be licensed to be able to provide high-quality services for the children," Arvelis Byrd, director of Telamon, said at Thursday's meeting. "What we have proposed is to use an alternate facility to be able to continue services for Head Start children at Charles E. Perry Elementary School."
Byrd said the Garland children would continue to be served, but the facility, as it is right now, is not fit to continue services. She said there are holes in the walls, damaged playground equipment and a roach infestation. Byrd said there is some funding to be able to take care of some of the necessary renovations at the Garland facility, but she noted Telamon depends on "community support" to pick up the slack, whether it is monetary, labor or other in-kind donations.
"We know that facility was licensed under Sampson County government, but as a new agency coming in we would not be able to get that facility licensed as is, and the funding is not there to outfit that facility," Byrd said. "We have funding to outfit it in terms of getting an exterminator and doing the playground. We need funding for a heating and air conditioning unit as well as the windows that have been broken out. We would definitely not be able to start services by September."
As soon as the building was brought to code, Telamon officials said the children could come to Garland.
Commissioners expressed their ire with poor communication from Telamon.
'I'm furious'
"I am very much upset about this, because my mother was a Head Start teacher at this very center almost 25 years before she had a heart attack and had to take medical leave," said Commissioner Mike Toler. "There have been a lot of kids go through that (center) those past 25 years. We lost our school and these kids are our future. You may have to do what you have to, but speaking for myself, I'm not happy at all about this."
He was not the only one.
"I'm not mad about it — I'm furious," said Commissioner Matthew Register. "I really am. It bothers me that as a town we're trying to move forward, and one of the things we need is child care. It always seems like when stuff like this happens, everything rolls downhill in Garland, and we're sick of it. It bothers me as a parent and as a citizen of Garland. I can promise you this, I'm going to call everybody I know in politics because this is wrong. It is wrong anyway you put it."
The county ceded control of the Head Start program in a split vote in June 2011 after commissioners were told of the challenge to match the $2.1 million federal grant for 2012-13. The county agreed to serve as interim grantee for a period of up to a year as long as there were no out-of-pocket costs in county dollars. Raleigh-based Telamon Corporation was awarded the 2012-13 contract in May, taking over effective July 1.
Byrd said she did a walk-through of the Garland facility in March, but was unaware of the extent of the code issues until recently. She also said she believed the county owned the building, not Garland. Mayor Winifred Murphy, who walked through the building earlier Thursday, said the problems were "very visible," but only now was Garland being informed, she noted.
"I think we all agree that we want our children in a safe, nurturing environment, without roaches and without the things we saw today," said Murphy. "However, we're concerned that this has kind of blindsided us. No one contacted us, so you were not aware that we owned the building, but this is our community. A community assessment was done, a grant was written, so you knew we were here — that there is a town of Garland, and our citizens and our children are our first priority. We need the services here for our children. This site needs to stay open, regardless of what it takes."
Commissioner Ralph Smith said coming to Garland after the fact, not ahead of time, was "not very professional." Parent Cynthia Murphy agreed, saying she and others were just now hearing the news.
"When were you going to let the parents know that they would no longer have the capability of bringing their kid to Garland Head Start?" she asked.
"That honestly slipped through the cracks," Byrd replied. "That should have actually happened sooner. I take full responsibility for that. We did not send letters out to parents saying you would not be in Garland."
Noel Martinez, consultant for Telamon, said the company was not awarded the grant until the end of May and no permission was granted before that time to move forward with the process of acquiring licenses. Not all of the requested funding was allocated either, he said. Martinez said Telamon understands that no one wants to bus their kids rather than having them at a local facility, and they were not walking away from the problem.
"We can say to you that as soon as we were able, with the permission of the federal government, to disclose this was our grant, we were immediately communicating. We followed due diligence, we are respecting the process and we are respecting your interests," said Martinez. "You did not create the conditions of that building, nor we, nor the children, but somebody was administrating the facilities. We're not blaming anyone, but we were not grandfathered into a license."
The county operated the Head Start program for 37 years. Martinez said the facilities were in such a state that if checked prior to Telamon taking over, it would not have been re-licensed under federal standards. Byrd said as recent as a policy council meeting in June, Telamon was still planning on being in Garland.
"Sampson County government informed us that they were going to get the windows fixed, they were going to do the HVAC unit, they were going to do things over at Roseboro, all before June 30," Byrd attested. "It wasn't until after the grant closed out and they no longer had any obligation to do so, it was not done. I'm really trying to be mindful of not throwing them under the bus, but things were supposed to be done that were not done."
'Only way is community support'
Martinez said another option would be to get a license for a temporary facility in Garland while the town's existing Head Start center was being repaired. Byrd implored time, talent and knowledge from the community, the kind of community resources Telamon is dependent on for success.
"The only way Head Start works is when individuals are working together," Byrd said. "The only way we're going to be able to get this building done is with community support. There's no way we can do it on our own. If we can get this building going, I can guarantee you we will be in this Garland facility. We are not trying to move out of Garland."
Like others, Cynthia Murphy said she did not want to see anything in Garland be shut down.
"I'm on the edge right now, because we don't want anything in the Garland community to close. We are trying to building Garland up. We don't want to see anything shut down at all," said Murphy. "This is something that Garland should've known all along. We look for (our children) to get the best education possible. We don't need to bus our 3 and 4 year olds."
If community support was needed, Murphy and others said they are willing to do whatever it takes. That said, the matter should've been known far before July 26.
"The problem, and we keep going back to this, is timing," said Register.
Toler agreed while also taking issue with the Sampson County Board of Commissioners.
"It doesn't stop with just y'all," said Toler. "The more that I sit here and listen to what's going on, I also blame our county commissioners for allowing the building to get in that shape. Our county commissioners have let us down too."
Martinez said it was about dealing with the situation. He suggested another walk-through of the facility, to bring everyone on the same page. Register said county officials, notably building inspector Myron Cashwell, should be on hand to assess the severity of the situation.
A walk-through was subsequently scheduled for 2 p.m. at the Garland Head Start, which is expected to be followed by a special meeting with town, county and Telamon officials in attendance.
"We are ready and willing," said Martinez. "Everybody that would like to come see it, they should. You'll see what we're talking about. Please understand we're not your enemy. We can be frustrated for a long time, but we don't have to be frustrated if Tuesday comes around and we're there and talking about how we can fix it. We can stop the frustration and get into the action."
Martinez said the outcry was understandable, but was also a positive sign that Telamon would garner the community support representatives said they so desperately need. He also pledged communication, something that Garland residents noted they had yet to experience with the company.
"I can only assume that you're going to have a great center here," Martinez said. "This is the fire in the belly that is needed. From us, you'll get communication and transparency. If we lose in Sampson, we will lose everywhere, because we would have to compete with other folks who want to take those grants. Based on the furious demonstration, the frustration, when you present the emotion you have for the history you have in that building, I know it will happen — but it needs to be up to quality for the children we are taking care of."
