Learning to Discover: Youth Information Literacy in the "I" Digital Age
Dania Bilal, Sanda Erdelez, Jamshid Beheshti and Ross J. Todd
Tuesday, 3:30pm
Today digital information environment is rich with varied types of information that is available anytime, anywhere at a user's fingertips. While children and young adults constitute a high percent of the online population worldwide and are being characterized as savvy and born digital, there is a need to examine how what has been considered a "distraction" in using the web can be transformed into valuable information that these young users are enable to capture and use at a later time. Models of information seeking in traditional environments may be valuable in predicting partial information seeking of young users. However, they do not account for information discovery or information encountering throughout the information seeking process. This panel will cover digital inquiry and information literacy in the new digital environment and will suggest a new mechanism for a deeper perspective on young users' information seeking.

The best way for console makers to deal with the used games market is to ensure their games are so good that people don't want to trade them in, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told Polygon. But supporting used games is also important, he added.
This is hilarious, go Nintendo! Tell Microsoft how it's done!
This gives me hope that Nintendo won't ever copy Microsoft's quest for avarice. Hopefully the XBONE's failure among the press will help the Nintendo Wii U rise up and overcome the XBONE. THAT I'd like to see! I can imagine it now, PS4 in first place, followed by the WII U with the XBONE in 3rd place. I can dream for a perfect world, but when a perfect world seems likely my dreams flesh out that image of a perfect world.
Microsoft (I hope) will get what they deserve. I hope this acts as an example to show how quickly a company can fall if they forget the consumer. Brace yourselves for the XBONE's launch, Microsoft! You're going to fall and nobody will be there to catch you.
I would usually condone the purchase of all 3 consoles but with this generation I really cannot do that. I believe that the only consoles worthy of a purchase are the WII U and the PS4 because they've stuck to what makes a games console brilliant whereas MS have strayed too far into an unknown abyss and fallen flat in doing so. So there you have it. Want a next-gen combo? Go with the WII U and PS4 (and a PC if you're after graphics and mods); I left the PC out because it's basically a super-powered console and yes, it HAS GOT EXCLUSIVES, but the console ones generally stand out more as exclusives and ease of access are all a console is really.
Roll on next gen, I really hope Sony soar, Nintendo get what they deserve (the WII U to be successful) and for Microsoft (with their anti-consumerist ways) to fail. Unless we stand up to such junk then companies will treat us however they want - just as Microsoft are trying to do with the XBONE.
Exactly! I never traded in my copy of MGS4 but did for lesser games like Killzone 2 that I didn't rate!

Lot # 424 (of 1641) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1929 Rogers Peet #34 Ty Cobb
Starting Bid - $500, Sold For - $1,659
Graded NM/MT 88 by SGC. Extremely high-grade example of this classic Ty Cobb card. Cobb retired from baseball in 1928, but his legend was still very much on the minds of fans in the years following, and Rogers Peet (like Goudeys, U.S. Caramels, and Sport Kings) saw fit to include Cobb in its set to boost sales. It may even be the case that the company was not aware that Cobb was retiring after the 1928 season when this set was designed by Rogers Peet. This is one of the rarest multisport issues of the late 1920s. This series was a promotional vehicle for a chain of boys' clothing stores in the New York and Boston areas. Each boy visiting the store with a parent would receive a set of four cards to be stored in a 14-page album specifically designed for this issue. Eight baseball players are included in the 44-card set and Ty Cobb is one of the key cards. Other sports featured in the set include football, hockey, golf, tennis, swimming, track, and aviation. Presented is an extremely high grade Rogers Peet example of Cobb that is certainly one of his rarest cards. Perfectly clean, front and back, with a flawless image, four razor-sharp corners, snow-white borders, and a flawless reverse. The image on the card is unique to this issue, and is of special note as it features Cobb playing outfield for Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics in 1927. Very few cards picture Cobb with the Athletics in his final two seasons (1927 and 1928). We can confirm that the image on the card dates from precisely 1927 based upon the uniform style worn by Cobb. The Rogers Peet set is often identified in guides as dating from the 1930s but actually can be dated to 1929, as the promotion ended late in that year. This is an outstanding ultra high-grade example of one of Cobb's few cards featuring him at the end of his career with the Philadelphia Athletics. Accompanied by the original glassine envelope in which the card was issued. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+.

Join The Conversation On Keeping International Agreements From Restricting Internet Freedom
from the this-is-important dept
Just last week, we also highlighted how existing international free trade agreements make it difficult for Congress to fix something as simple as making it legal to unlock your mobile phones, even if the White House has come out in favor of it. I'll have more on this little horror story shortly, but these kinds of examples should have us tremendously worried about various international agreements, from ACTA to TPP to the upcoming TAFTA covering Europe and the US.
Given those concerns, the folks at Open Media have set up a day of discussion about how the public can stop international agreements from restricting internet freedom.
So we want your input: What do you think is the best way to stop these threats to Internet freedom? How can we best reach and engage more people in the battle to stop Big Media lobbyists and bureaucrats from censoring expression online?They're hosting a Reddit AMA to discuss this (I'm participating for part of the day), along with asking people to discuss anywhere else they would like as well: Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, or right here in the comments. The entertainment industry has had more or less free rein in helping to craft international agreements that pressure governments into passing laws in their favor for decades. It's time we took that out of the secret back rooms, and let the internet-using public have its say in the matter.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration will hold its first privacy multi-stakeholder meeting on July 12, to help develop a code of conduct that will promote transparent disclosures to consumers concerning the way companies handle personal data collected through mobile apps. The meeting will take place in the Washington, DC, metro area, at a location to be determined. It will also be broadcast live via webcast.
Following the publication earlier this year of an Obama Administration report regarding online consumer privacy protections, the NTIA was charged with bringing together interested stakeholders—from companies to consumer groups—to develop enforceable codes of conduct to specify how principles within the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights should apply in specific business contexts. Based upon input received from more than 80 stakeholders, the NTIA decided that the first topic for the privacy multi-stakeholder process would focus on transparency and mobile applications.

Judy Pointy Toe Pump is rated out of 5 by 7.
Rated 2 out of 5 by austinbebefan from Run too small. Based upon other reviews I though these would run true to size and fit me. But I'm a 7 and the size 7 is way too small for me. Got them in white. If you had half sizes in this shoes I might reorder another one. I can't return the white ones since they were on sale. Bebe, when are you going to get the shoes sized correctly and not make them too narrow. It's always a hit or miss with bebe shoe sizes. The sizing is too eratic. Can't depend on the the shoe sizing. Too bad or I'd buy more shoes.

Lot # 1488 (of 1743) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Starting Bid - $2,500, Sold For - $6,463
New York Cosmos home jersey worn by the incomparable Pele during his final professional season. Graded A10 by MEARS. This is an exceptional jersey in all respects and one that is further distinguished by its impeccable provenance. This jersey originates directly from Charles Serednesky Jr., who was the former vice-president of the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the North American Soccer League, and it is accompanied by a one-page letter, directly from Serednesky, written and signed by him, detailing its history. In full: "The Pele game-worn jersey that you had acquired from me was worn by Pele while playing for the New York Cosmos in the late 1970's. At the time I was a Vice-President of the competing Tampa Bay Rowdies and I acquired the jersey from the New York Cosmos equipment manager." Although Serednesky can only recall that he obtained the jersey in the late 1970s, MEARS has determined, based upon the collar style, that this jersey dates specifically to 1977, which was Pele's final season with the club. The white cotton jersey features the Cosmos team logo on the left breast and the number "10" on the right breast, right sleeve, and reverse. "Pele" is lettered on the reverse above the number. The team logo has been appliquéd by means of a silk-screen process, all other letters and numerals have been appliquéd in forest-green tackle twill. An "Umbro" label appears in the collar. The jersey is all original, with no alterations, and displays moderate-to-heavy wear, including a few small light stains and three tiny holes (two on the left shoulder and one on the reverse).
Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known by his nickname of "Pele," is considered by many to be the greatest soccer player of all time. As a member of Brazil's national team from 1957 to 1971, Pele became the only player in history to be a member of three World Cup Championship teams. Pele excelled in all aspects of the game and is still the all-time scorer for the Brazil national team. In 1975 Pele left Brazil and joined the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League. At the time, the Cosmos were the most financially stable team in the league and more than able to afford the aging superstar. Pele's arrival with the Cosmos in 1975 is credited with helping to popularize the sport of soccer in America. Not only did Pele raise the average sports fan's awareness of soccer, but his presence on the club's roster helped boost attendance for the struggling league. During his three years with the Cosmos the team routinely drew over 40,000 fans a game, which was a huge increase over the 15,000 league-average attendance figure. In 1977 Pele bid his final farewell to the sport by leading the Cosmos to the League Championship. Today, Pele is considered a national hero in Brazil and has been officially named the football ambassador of the world by FIFA (Fèdèration Internationale de Football Association). He was also named the Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee. Graded A10 by MEARS. Because MEARS evaluates so few soccer jerseys, it has yet to provide a census, or population report, as it does for jerseys of other major sports. This is a very rare jersey and is the only Pele jersey REA has ever offered. (As a point of reference, this very jersey appeared as Lot 1445 in Robert Edward Auctions' May 2009 sale, where it realized a final sales price of $7,050; it has been consigned to this auction directly by that winning bidder. We have seen very few authentic examples of Pele Cosmos jerseys ever offered. This particular Pele jersey is perfect in all respects, and the facts that it can not only be dated to his final season but is accompanied by a strong and documented provenance make it one of the most ideal and desirable examples in existence. LOA from Troy Kinunen/MEARS. Reserve $2,500. Estimate $5,000+. SOLD FOR $6,463

We Match. You Save.
Found a price that beats ours? We'll match it, guaranteed.
How do you do it?
Step #1: Find the Ad, Copy the URL
When you find a lower price, save the web page URL. You'll need it to get your discount.
Step #2: Use the Price Match Request Form
You'll see a form at the bottom of this page. Paste the full web page URL into the appropriate slot, fill out the rest of the information, and send it to us.
Step #3: Profit!!!
Enjoy your savings, you wiley scoundrel.
What's in it for us?
We love you, and we want your business. We don't want you to run off with some other online retailer, so we're, of course, willing to give you the same deal they are. Plus, in the end, our deal will be way better than theirs! We'll match their price while we deliver life-of-product technical support, real customer service, and free shipping.
More Technical Details
To qualify for a Price Match, you must be able to produce a published price from a legitimate online retailer. Hearing about a 'great deal' from your cousin's neighbor's best friend does not count. The retailer in question will also need to have the product in stock and ready to ship. If it's on backorder, that's a mulligan. You get one claim per product, and cannot use the Price Match Policy in conjunction with other coupons, discounts, Labor Day (or other holiday) sales, or Voodoo magic. Typos, mail in rebates, closeout sales, and other non-standard retail transactions don't count either. Also, finding a great deal on Ebay or another auction site doesn't work.
Basically, the competing price must be for the same product, brand new, factory-sealed, style, model, etc etc. We also reserve the right to deny the IWAE Price Match Policy to anyone who we think is trying to get one over on us and/or trade us a wooden nickel.

We love Show. Planted in the heart of Los Feliz, the store has an eclectic mix of reupholstered furniture, great lighting and a slew of home accessories. The store is small in size, but spacious with inspiring items, and we can spend hours in here because everything is so beautifully displayed by owner Brad Cook...
Since our visit in 2005, Show continues to offer fun finds for your home decor--check out what's new after the jump!
And there is a thrill at how much turn over there is. If you like something buy it, because chances are the next time you come in there will be something new replacing it. Not to fear, usually the new thing is even better than what was there before. This is always our go-too for a good wedding gift. We figure if we want everything in the store...
Update: Since Alec last visited Show in Los Feliz, Brad has started to offer interior decorating and stylist services for your home or work space. Not to mention Show revamped their website which includes letting customers know when items go on sale, and our personal fave--a blog called Show and Tell. And not to worry, if you don't live in the Los Angeles area, you can still do some shopping with Show's online store. And we were also happy to find, Astro--Brad's resident (and adorable) pooch, who kept us company while we shopped at the store.

2nd Story & Mixed Magic collaborate for stirring theatre
Husband and wife actors/activists Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen wrote a stirring, revealing, award-winning play about six falsely convicted death-row prisoners that is getting its first Rhode Island production at the Bristol Courthouse.
"The Exonerated" tells the tales of five men and one woman who have spent an average of 13 years in prison for crimes they did not commit.
Artistic Director Ed Shea of Warren's 2nd Story and Artistic Director Ricardo Pitts-Wiley of Pawtucket's Mixed Magic have collaborated on this 80-minute production, set in an actual courthouse, with the actors moving freely around the room.
Pitts-Wiley, with his deep, somber voice filling the chambers, opens and closes moving testimonies of the exonerated, with four additional actors filling in the voices of spouses, prosecutors, defense attorneys, witnesses and others involved in the cases. Their stories are all heart-wrenching, especially that of Sunny, played with so much emotion by Joanne Fayan, who with her husband was falsely accused of murder.
Thanks to DNA, witnesses coming forward and the work of organizations dedicated to freeing people wrongfully accused, the stories of the six people have bittersweet endings.
We first learn how they were captured, giving inadequate defense and sent to Death Row. We get to feel how they felt, knowing they would probably be executed for a crime they didn't commit.
The final 20 minutes were the most emotional as we got inside their heads and hearts and felt how they did when they were finally released.
Tom Chace plays Gary, a man coerced into making a confession. Amos Hammick Jr. plays Robert, who has one of the saddest tales. Joe Henderson is Kerry, Edward V. Crews is David, both with stories of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
While "The Exonerated" is a difficult look at the injustice of our justice system, it also leaves us with some hope for the future, as DNA becomes a bigger factor, along with dedicated people, like the writers, who work day and night to right the wrongs of an imperfect system. The actors intertwine their stories and we make connections along the way…a much better approach than just presenting six soliloquies.
"The Exonerated" shows that a difficult subject can be handled dramatically in a collaboration of writers and directors to present an interesting, educational and, yes, entertaining evening of theatre.
In the Courtroom of the Bristol Statehouse through June 30, tickets are $30. Call 247-4200 or go to boxoffice@2nd storytheatre.com.

If everything in your being screams: "I just got to run Epocrates!", then you need SyleTap (and a Jailbreaked iDevice), the iPhone's first Palm OS emulator. Palm pretty much dropped legacy users with the release of the Pre, so greybeard users need to be grandfathered to new platforms if they want to enjoy the freedom and features of a new OS. SyleTap isn't a new spanking app; it's been doing its thing on Symbian and Windows Mobile for a long season. It's introduction to the iDevice isn't quite so unexpected as it is flummoxing: it costs 50$ and in the words of one Redmond Pie user, 'scream[s] "Pirate Me!"'

Amanda Bynes' parents have filed court papers asking for a judge to impose a conservatorship order against the troubled actress.
Lynn and Rick Bynes submitted the documents on Thursday, according to TMZ.com, three days after police were called to a neighborhood near the couple's California home when the star allegedly started a fire in a resident's driveway.
The Hairspray actress was taken into custody and placed on a psychiatric hold.
It has previously been reported that Bynes' parents wanted a judge to grant them control of their daughter's financial and personal affairs until she could get her life back on track.
A hearing into the matter has been scheduled for Friday.
Bynes' behavior has hit headlines in recent months – last week, she was cautioned by police after she was allegedly discovered trespassing outside an old people's home in Thousand Oaks while apparently intoxicated, and in May, she was accused of reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence and possessing marijuana after reportedly throwing a bong out of her New York apartment window during a police raid.
The star is also facing a charge of driving under the influence after allegedly crashing her car into a police vehicle in 2012, and a further count of driving on a suspended license several months later.
Amanda Bynes' parents have filed court papers asking for a judge to impose a conservatorship order against the troubled actress.

Judge Says No Fair Use For Jailbreaking Xboxes; The Law Doesn't Care If Jailbreaking iPhones Is Legal
from the this-is-a-problem dept
It would seem that this case could become a rather useful one in testing the constitutionality of the DMCA's anti-circumvention rules and the lack of fair use exceptions. It's hard to think of a situation that seems more unreasonable than saying that you can jailbreak consumer electronics device 1 "because of the Librarian of Congress said so," but you cannot jailbreak consumer electronics device 2 "because the Librarian of Congress did not say so." That hardly seems like a situation that copyright law should ever allow, as it presents an undue penalty on certain new technologies.

Plant brought the railroad to Tampa in 1884, he opened the door for many businesses to locate and flourish here. The railroad was at the center of the city's economy. From downtown it went to Port Tampa where one could board a Plant steamship to Jamaica, Cuba, New Orleans, Bermuda or other destinations. A spur of the rail line brought the train up to the west front of the hotel so guests could depart the train and walk directly into the lobby. The Tampa Bay Hotel cost approximately 2.5 million dollars to build and $500,000 to furnish. Consisting of 511 rooms, some of which were suites of 3-7 rooms, it provided a degree of luxury never before seen in Tampa. Most of the rooms had their own baths and all had electricity and telephones. In addition, guests were surrounded by a varied collection of furniture, porcelains, Venetian-style mirrors, and sculptures gathered by Mr. and Mrs. Plant in their travels in Europe. The Tampa Bay Hotel opened in 1891 amid wide fanfare and celebration. Henry Plant's dream was now a reality. The newspapers of the day described it as "brightly illuminated, filled with sumptuous decorations, thrilling music and graced with turrets, domes and minarets towering heavenward and glistening in the sun." It was a Victorian palace. The hotel was a lively place with balls, tea parties, and organized hunts during the winter social season. It was open seasonally from December to April in the 1890's. Once a guest arrived at the hotel, he needed to be entertained. Guests went wild game hunting as well as fresh and salt-water fishing. Water sports were also included like sailing, rowing, and canoeing. For the less adventuresome, there were bicycles, carriages, and rickshaws to ride you around the property. The hotel also offered golf, tennis, shuffleboard, billiards, and even a racetrack. Funding: Funded in part by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), Ephemeral Cities Project.

Loanation Agreement
- Hold Harmless ( owner shall insure, freeside not responsible for damage)
- Notice before removing the item from the space (30/60 days)?
- Able to remove the item within a specific time frame is necessary (30/60 days?) notified by Board.
- Agreement to create and fill out the wiki page on the item,
- lay out the expectation on member usage.
- Charging for use?
- Training required?
- One on one signoff?
- Member provides own tooling, etc?
- Costs for implementing or integrating into Freeside Infrastructure would be up to the member to provide
- access control system
- installation of additional camera to cover
- climate control
- power outlet needs
(Board or members may decide to cover or chip in on a case by case basis.) (Ditto for costs to move the equipment in, and for removal.)
- Do not relocating it within the space without prior approval
- The Project and Storage team, and the Safety and Risk team reserves the right to inspect and lock out at any time if there is a safety issue with a piece of equipment, or to inspect prior to accepting into the space as a loanation.
This sounds like a great outline to me. I would also like a clause requiring periodic training (minimum quarterly?) be offered for devices that have a lockout or expectations of training (which should be the same). It seems Paul is in general good about being available to train on the lathe, but there have been times when this was not available on machines.
I'd also like a clause around being in sufficiently good repair. I think if a device is down for an extended period of time, then it should be required that it be removed. (I'm thinking if a device isn't functioning for 60 days, then perhaps the owner gets 30 days to repair or move it).
I think that's all fair. The training doesn't have to be from the owner either. They can designate others qualified to do one-on-ones or training classes.
How about at least one training session within the first 60 days of bringing it into the space (gives time to get it set up, work out kinks, etc), and then minimum 2 others in the first year after that? I know I'd have a hard time committing to once a quarter. After the first year, let the Board review the usage, popularity, and demand and availability of training?
A one year anniversary checkup on keeping the item in the space and renewing the agreement sounds like a good thing anyway. Might encourage some items to just become full on donations at that point. If we were 501c3, a lot of my stuff would be donated rather than loaned.

Because a country isn't going to restructure their entire writing system just to make it easier for foreigners to understand. It would be a much better use of their time to learn English for communicating with foreigners, and the ones who are expected to already do so.
If someone suggested that English be reorganized to make the alphabet much, much easier to pronounce words, and created a really efficient system, would we use it? No, because what we have works fine and we're already using it.

I'm the only one who thinks this conversation has gone too far. I'm not saying that it is not interesting because it is but it is no longer related to umineko at all. Maybe we should move it to a better place. There is a thread to talk about Japanese language in general almost for sure and maybe one for Japanese in Visual novels.

Agreed, let's get back to discussing Umineko. I got a question about the PS3 Chiru adaptations, but I don't want to go to the thread in case there are spoilers for episode 8 in there, so I'll just ask in here. Amiami has four different versions of the game listed, could anyone tell me what the differences are?

Your logic is faulty on multiple levels, but basically the spoken language has nothing to do with the written language. Japanese could not write before Chinese was imported into Japan, and yet the Japanese language existed beforehand.
Your suggestion for a new writing system based on mora and pitch accent, while on paper a good idea, is in practice a terrible idea. Most speakers of Japanese have no idea what pitch accent is. It's one of those phrases probably invented by some foreigner studying Japanese. You're under the mistaken assumption that we know what the pitch accent for a particular word is. If I saw hashi or something that I know it would be different from hashi. That's not the case. We do not know the word from the pitch accent. We know the pitch accent from the word. The rest is mostly gleaned from context. Pitch accent differs from dialect to dialect so attempting to standardize it is impossible anyway. Proper pitch accent is, literally, something that only exists on TV (EG: NHK). It doesn't exist in real life.
The example of korean is nice, but korean is not Japanese. Also, there are some studies which if you take the time to read show that reading mixed script (hanja + hangul) is actually faster than hangul only script.
Your entire point is pretty much invalidated by the fact that you apparently don't understand Kanji very well as you said in the last paragraph.
Basically, the only people who advocate the removal of kanji from Japanese are whiny foreigners who complain that its too hard to learn. It's not designed for you, I'm afraid.

At what age does a typical Japanese person need to be to know how to look up an unknown kanji (or sequence of kanji) in a dictionary? As long as its reasonably close to the age speakers of other languages need to be to look up words, then Japanese is fine. On the other hand if it's significantly higher then there is either something wrong with the Japanese language and/or the education system.

And BTW, there's a theory with increasing support, according to which both Korean and Japanese might be related to each other via a third language named Goguryeo. Which would make them related languages.
Just to show you my point. By the time I was 11, I had read adult novels such as Jurassic Park and The Lost World by Michael Crichton, as well as a research book about the RMS Titanic.
Now ask yourself, would an average Japanese speaker aged 10-11 be able to read adult books of that level? I'd say no, because he wouldn't know all the kanji.
Now please explain, if an 11 year old from anywhere in the Americas or Europe can read adult literature fine while one from Japan can't because of the kanji, how are kanji not a hidrance to the native speakers themselves?

Guys - stop arguing. This isn't the thread for it and it's completely off topic.
If it continues, Klash is just going to come in here and delete all the irrelevant posts like he did with the literature discussion a few months ago.

Yes how dare Witch Hunt act like normal human beings with normal human lives instead of the fully automated Japanese translating and editing robots. How dare people we dont know and dont pay not give us what we want when we want.

To be honest, meta-discussion is just as bad as going off-topic, in my opinion.
Anyway, I hope that once Witch Hunt have finished their episode 8 translation, they'll go back and fix all the typos and errors in the older patches and get it working with the latest version of ONScripter-EN. I also think there are some errors in the episode 4 grimoire (.DOC version) in terms of where some of the phrases appear
Anyway, keep it up, Witch Hunt! It's the finishing stretch

Thomas More College STEM Initiatives
Thomas More STEM Initiatives, also known as TSI, is a year-round array of STEM programs that includes professional development workshops for high school teachers, field trips for their classes and summer camps for selected students, particularly those currently underrepresented in the STEM fields.
In 2011, Thomas More College was awarded a three-year, $360,000 grant from the Toyota USA Foundation to improve STEM Education at the high school level by:
- offering high-quality experiences for both teachers and students,
- integrating more technology into their classrooms, and
- engaging more high school students with the STEM & Education majors in college.
As the initial three-year grant from Toyota expired, the College sought additional partners and financial supports to continue the TSI. In 2015, the DUKE Energy Foundation recognized the early success of the program and awarded the College a large grant to continue the TSI. These initiatives directly align with the STEM Education and Environment investment priorities of the Duke Energy Foundation.
With the new grant, we are inviting back the schools initially involved in the program and also look for new schools who would like to participate. If accepted, these schools will benefit from the following:
- A STEM Academy for teachers: a professional development workshop, including a $500 stipend
- Graduate credit hours, if desired
- IT equipment and supplies for science and technology instruction for the teachers' classroom
- Free field trips to the Biology Field Station, College Observatory, and science labs on the main campus including funds for transportation and substitute teachers
- A STEM Institute for students: a weeklong camp offered during the summer at Thomas More
- Classroom visits by college faculty throughout the year
- Classroom activities, including supplies, lesson plans, and assessment tools, that meet state standards
- Access to research facilities and co-curricular opportunities for both students and teachers
- Ongoing communication using digital, interactive technologies and ongoing support via synchronous (e.g. web chat) and asynchronous (e.g. email) web-based resources for teachers to have access with Thomas More faculty and colleague groups throughout the Northern Kentucky region
- Long term tracking of the success of students

Tuesday evening, the Auburn Tigers continued preparations for Saturday's regular-season finale at No. 2 Alabama with a two-hour workout in shells at the Auburn Athletics Complex Practice Fields.
"We've got a great football team that we are getting ready to play in Tuscaloosa, and we know that," said Auburn head coach Gene Chizik. "For us to be able to have a chance to be successful, we are going to have to, obviously, play the best game we've played all year and be very sound in everything that we do in all three phases of our game. Obviously, they're very well coached, and they've got some great players, so our work is cut out for us.
"But we feel great about being able to play in a game like this because it's a privilege and all of our players know that. It's something that they will always remember the rest of their lives. We started preparing yesterday. We're preparing well and we've got to continue to do that the rest of this week in order to give ourselves a chance to win."
This is the 77th renewal of the Iron Bowl rivalry; the game will be televised by CBS with a 2:30 CT kickoff. The Iron Bowl will also be the final collegiate game for 13 Auburn seniors: Daren Bates, T'Sharvan Bell, DeAngelo Benton, Emory Blake, Jonathan Evans, Philip Lutzenkirchen, Onterio McCalebb, Ikeem Means, Anthony Morgan, Ashton Richardson, Travante Stallworth, John Sullen and Jamar Travis. They come into the contest with a career record of 33-18.

STICKS is a concept of temporary micro-nurseries in a series with the capacity for 12 children per unit. The idea by Djuric Tardio Architects stems from the growing necessity of places in nursery buildings in Paris and surrounding urban areas. Completely built in wood, with natural materials, without harmful emissions substances, they are equipped with the latest technologies in sustainable and bioclimatic development. This nursery was also designed to be mass produced and low-cost.
The conception was thought to by-pass the classic and complex decisional process. It means that the financial and technical logic is 'Keys in hand'. The temporary licence of 6years allows avoiding the statutory fates which can restrain this type of project.
From a simple socio-urban analysis conducted by the architect, it was found that gardens and public parks in Paris are placed uniformly and are opened at regular time slots, with curves of influx which are exactly complementary with the nurseries functioning.
For that purpose, it was imagined to install STICKS in unused spaces inside the gardens and public parks of the city, such as traffic circle or residual spaces. The nursery-kiosk will be settled in a short time because the mass construction wood - made in the studio - which allows a clean and fast construction site with very few reversible adaptations of the site. STICKS is an intelligent system to respond quickly at the demand of places in nurseries and allows children to enjoy the qualitative and unused environment during the day.

How many atheists do you personally know? I'm not counting the ones you have met through this network. I would say my number is at six. My mother, my oldest son, three people at work and just found out that my family doctor was essentially one when we discussed my Reason Rally letter to the Toronto Star. I'm not sure about my daughter so I won't count her.
I would have a problem counting the number of religious people I know starting with my wife and my youngest son - Way too many.
Not everybody is going to be an atheist and join the Atheist Nexus which currently has
26656 members. So inquiring minds want to know your number. How many more more atheists are out there connected to our members who don't join these type of groups or conversely how alone are some of our members - is your number 0?

Not a single one, they cling to fairy tales. Most of them are the type that they say they aren't religious, but really are. They're victims of their environments and will always ultimately run with the pack. But there is a survivability in this that makes perfect sense.
I'd have to say four or five. I know a few more who don't quite have the courage of their convictions to call themselves Atheist For the most part those people are hedging their bets just in case... I think the reason there are so few professed Atheist is Atheism takes a level of emotional maturity most people lack. If you think about it, children who are afraid of the dark or lonely invent an imaginary friend. Adults who are afraid of death or not having some divine entity "have their back" at times of crisis scares them. Therefore, they adopt some imaginary friend from one mythology or another. Atheists don't do that. We have the emotional maturity to face reality without needing an imaginary friend. Most people you meet just can't handle that.
It's a sad, sad situation! I personally know one agnostic and 0 atheists. I'm surrounded by so-called Christians and I just make the best of it. I can't get into a discussion with the ones I'm closest to as it makes them "uncomfortable". They have no ammunition, just blind, ignorant faith. Very frustrating.
Hard to say... My family (both sides) is non-religious, but I know many of them (such as my father) do believe in a higher power, but do not subscribe to any specific religious sect. It's not something we generally discuss, but they do know my views on the subject. I have two close friends that are Atheists, but that's about it.
I personally know three Atheists besides myself. A friend of mine, her 17 year old daughter, and finally her daughters boyfriend. So not many. :O/
Four... all ex-girlfriends. Atheist and sexy must go hand in hand!
None, most people around me are Moslims, some Buddhists/Hindus and a few Christians.
my friends father
I actually thought hardly anyone until I started asking people. Once I was confident enough to bring it up i was surprised how many people are skeptical these days.
I am Happy To announce That I met another Agnostic today whose spouse is an Atheist!!!
We are in training for a new job and Dawkins and Bill Maher broke the ice and I was finally able to tell someone I was an Atheist with out immediate repercussions.
Today Was A Great Day!
Hoping she was the first of many to find at my new job...
Not sure, but I probably know more atheists/agnostics than I know religious people.
Nice to hear from Norway. That got me thinking of atheists by country and Wikipedia says in the U.S it is about 6 - 9 %. Norway looks like 17 - 26% and my home country (Canada) might be at 23%.
It is tough to get accurate stats on this.

Do you know how Amelia Earhart disappeared?Earhart disappears when she crashed the plane and died. Noone know how she disappeared but people think they know. Some people think she got sucked in to the Bermuda triangle but others think she crashed and got eaten by a shark when her plane floated away probably to be never found again. Other people think she was a spy and went to see if the Japanese were building a navel base which they were and when she found out people think they kidnapped her and killed her so she couldn't tell the Americans that they had a navel bace.But some others think she ran out of gas and drowned but they cant find the plane.I think she got either sucked into the triangle or crashed got eaten by a shark and the plain drifted away.Thats how people think she disappered.

Freebie - Vintage Garland & DRAWING!
Anyone have any great Christmas/Holiday traditions to share? I'd love to hear them if you do! Leave a comment here on the blog, and I'll do a random drawing for a FREE sugar cookie digital scrapbooking kit on Friday the 28th! (which means the winner will be contacted on Saturday - so you have till midnight Friday to post!).
I hope I have time tomorrow to make the annual Christmas cake. When we were kids my mom always made "Baby Jesus Birthday Cake" to teach us who's birthday it was. The cake literally had, "Happy Birthday Baby Jesus" written on it, and she put a candle for each kid at our house on Christmas Eve and we'd blow them out, and then read the nativity story. Oh, and open a present. Last year I forgot to get cake ingredients and so we had to have Happy Birthday apple pie instead. It wasn't quite the same... Anyway, from my family to yours, hope you have the Merriest Christmas!

I love the Christmas garland!
Every year Christmas I make christmas jammies for my kids and they get to open them on Christmas Eve so that they get to wear them for Christmas day.
Now that my kids are a little older I plan to start a tradition that we did growing up which was, my parents would take us all to a holiday movie in the theatre and then out for dinner a week or two before Christmas... Some of my fondest memories are time spent together as a family!

Love the garland and the cocoa topper from your last post.
My favorite tradition is one that a friend's family does every Christmas Eve. They have a steak dinner, and when they were growing up, it was one of the few times of the year that they got steak. And after dinner, they sit around and my friend's dad reads the Nativity story from the bible.
I always thought it was such a simple and no-fuss way to celebrate the meaning of Christmas.

We have the same Christmas tradition of a Birthday Cake for Jesus!
We are also going to start some new traditions this year while our children are still young - like having pizza on Christmas Eve (easy for mommy). LOL And singing hymns around the piano!
Merry Christmas to you and God bless you in the New Year!

Oh, I saw that kit and so wanted it!!!(It's on my wish list...) So, I'm certainly going to take a stab at being the lucky one to win it.
As for a family tradition of ours, every Christmas Eve our family sits down and reads the book "Polar Express," by Chris Van Allsburg. It's been a tradition of our since my daughter Emma was born, eight years ago. We look forward to every year, especially Emma! :)
And here is wishing you & your family a very merry Christms!!!
- December 24, 2007 at 8:13 AM
Just hubby & I so our "tradition" is to go look at lights Christmas Eve, come home and snuggle in with a Christmas movie (usually Christian), this year it is the Nativity Story. We always have "Wife Saver" for breakfast Christmas morning and invite any tenants left in the building (I am apt. manager) up for supper Christmas Day.

We have quite a few traditions, I have been posting daily on my blog since 1 Dec, so most are there.
On Christmas Eve, we take the kids for a walk in the neighbourhood to look at all the christmas lights and decorations. Then we come home, get their pyjamas on, have hot chocolate, and read the book "Twas the night before Christmas".

Every Christmas I try and eat as many sugar cookies and Christmas candy as I can. Then I start a diet on New Years. Oops! That is not a tradition that is just what really happens.
Every Monday in December we pile into the van. We drive through different neighborhoods and look at Christmas lights while we sing carols. It is great to see how many more lights are up the Monday before Christmas then the first Monday in December.
Christmas morning we have Grandpa and Grandma come over. We open presents and have a big breakfast.

I love this project you posted!
We do pretty standard traditions. Dinner at the in-laws. Sing songs, open pajama gifts, act out nativity scene. I'm excited for my dd to wear the angel costume I made for her!
- December 24, 2007 at 10:42 AM
We always make homemade caramels, starting as soon as apple season does. The beginning of December we put bags of Granny Smith apples and 1 lb bags of caramels together and start the neighborhood deliveries. Finally, on December 24, we take the whole day to prepare for our own Christmas, which includes our favorite homemade caramel dip!
- December 24, 2007 at 1:46 PM
Love, love, love the garland...thanks so much!!
We are starting something with our little guy that my Mom did when I was little. New jammies on Christmas eve and an ornament that represents some special about the last year. Plus my MIL does 25 days of Christmas for all the grand kids...she even did it last year for our little guy when I was still pregnant with him.
- December 24, 2007 at 1:51 PM
The garland is great! Thank you for all your beautiful work!
Every Christmas Eve my family goes to our family cabin. We put up the Christmas lights outside and have a Christmas Eve dinner. Since there is usually a lot of snow on Christmas Eve in Utah, we have to ride snowmobiles in to get to the cabin. After dinner, we all get on the snowmobiles and go Christmas caroling to the other cabins in the area. It is cold and dark, but very fun.
- December 24, 2007 at 4:31 PM
On Christmas Eve my Grandpa always gathers the family around his chair and gets teary-eyed as he sees how blessed our family has been with health and happiness. He then reads the story of Jesus' birth from Luke chapter 2 in the Bible to remind us of the most wonderful gift we received on the first Christmas. Afterwards we all dig into the cookies; there are 4 kinds we make only for Christmas, so we have to eat enough to satisfy our cravings all year long! We then pass out from sugar comas and awaken at 8 am on Christmas morning and open presents in our pajamas!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful Christmas garland!
One of our best Christmas traditions was to attend Midnight Mass, go home or to Grandma's house for a visit and light lunch and then we would all go skating at the outdoor skating rink at city hall.
When our babies started arriving we had to modify this tradition somewhat. But, to this day we still love to get together, as time allows.
May you and your family have a Happy Christmas blessed with love and caring.

I make amazing cinnamon-sticky buns on the 24th. They rise in the frig. overnight, then morning comes, I turn on the oven, let them rise a bit, pop 'em in, and we have hot sticky, gooey cinnamon buns while opening gifts. I also make Pizzelles (Italian lacey wafer cookies made in a special waffle-type-iron) with my dd - we've been doing it since she was 5. Fun and pretty. Finally, we go to church and to dinner at a place that has traditional English Christmas carolers that sing during dinner. The whole restaurant joins in for 12 days of Xmas song. Thank you for so many wonderful freebies. Your brushes and other things are one of the reasons I'm trying to start doing digi. Merry Christmas (maybe you'll get some furniture). xo Colleen
P.S. I'll post the recipe for the cinnamon buns on my blog sometime soon, but if you want to see it and can't wait, go to last year's Dec. archives - it's there!

We have a collection of animated creatures that started about ten years with Douglas, the fir tree that's motion activated. Each year we add something else. This year it was two somethings and we gave a pink flamingo that moves and sings "We wish you...." to our 13 year old grandson.

Every Chrismas Eve my family gets together at my grandparents and we have a pot luck. We eat the same foods every year and our pot luck has become our tradition. This year I made recipe cards from digital kits and gave them to everyone to fill out. Then yesterday I took pictures of all the food items. I plan to make a recipe book/scrapbook for every family.
Thanks for the great freebie and I want to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season!!
- December 25, 2007 at 1:27 PM
Our family had a large birthday candle for Jesus. The first thing we would do on Christmas morning was light the candle and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus.
- December 25, 2007 at 3:44 PM
Wow, so many comments about new pj's on Christmas Eve. So, I'm not the only one with that tradition except that I always gave my children a coloring book and crayons as well.
Now, that we are older, we get together for Christmas dinner. With my mother turning 90 this March, and each of her seven children having children, etc., we now number over 60 people all in one house at one time, giving presents to each other. We pull names every year using little shrinkies of different toys with the person's name on it. The seven of us take turns hosting the festivities.
Other traditions include my sister's yule log and pine cone cake that are to die for. This year I didn't get to the yule log soon enough - it was gone.
Every holiday season, we go to see the Christmas Carol play at Trinity Theater in Providence, RI. They do it every year with a different flavor to it and my mother and her daughters all go together.
Thank you for all the wonderful freebies you give all through the year.
This sharing of traditions is a wonderful idea and I just may use the one by partyscrapper. That is great!

Every Christmas Eve we head over to my Babcia's (grandma in Polish) house. Someone in the family dresses as Santa and hangs with all the kiddies. Afterwards, we break Oplatki. It is just like the host you receive at communion, but it looks like sticks of gum. Everyone in the family gets a stick. You offer yours to a family member, take a piece of theirs, then say something like 'merry christmas or happy new year or i love you.' My mom grew up with this tradition, I grew up with it and now my children will grow up with it as well.

Loved reading all the traditions. All my sons are mostly grown, only one still at home, so need to think of something now they are grown, plus the oldest just got married. Thanks for the cute garland. :)

Awww, I love the idea of a happy birthday Jesus cake! I'm so doing that next year. We don't really have any traditions like that. We just have our regular routine of Christmas Eve Mass followed by dinner and gifts at my in-laws, Christmas morning at home, and Christmas afternoon/evening at my folks. Luckily all in the same town! I'm a big fan, Miss Natalie! Thanks for everything. I hope I am the LUCKY winner but congrats to the person that is! email@example.com
- December 26, 2007 at 5:55 AM
It's kind of sad, but my Christmas tradition is that i'm always up late the night before trying to get everything ready! LOL. Seriously, though, this year I made caramel rolls for breakfast, and I hope that can be our Christmas morning tradition. :D

Christmas traditions are so great! Every Christmas Eve, my dad (The Cowboy) saddles up the horses and ponies and we go for a winter wonderland ride. This year I had to bow out due to broken leg, but it is so fun.

Each year we make home-made ice cream! We live in Minnesota, so we actually go outside to scoop up some snow to use in the ice cream churn. Our technology might have updated since my grandpa turned the crank by hand, but it still tastes better than anything you can buy in a store. I love the fact that my own children now get to join in on the tradition as well!

My sister and I had a Birthday Party for Jesus on Christmas Eve with my daughter and niece. We made a cake with them. The girls got a kick out of it. My daughter is 3 and my niece is 4. It is a tradition that we are going to do in the years to come.

We are trying to combine our traditions and it is a bit hard. Dh's family always gets together for Christmas Eve....lots of food and presents. My family always had a big breakfast with peameal bacon (Canadian Bacon). It was always a special treat. I try to do that with my family now.

Every Thanksgiving we give our kids and grandkids a new Hallmark ornament to be used on their tree that year. They are getting quite a nice collection. We also have recently started having each family take a Christmas song, any Christmas song and sing it. lipsync it, dance to it, whatever they choose. It has turned out to be a really fun time.

Kewl Garland!
Every year we give our kids ornaments on the 5th of December, so when they're adults, they'll have their own sets ready when they are out on their own.
We also ensure that we have our traditional foods that generations past would have at Christmas, such as wine pudding, potato sausage, swedish meatballs, rice pudding, etc. Then we have a little xmas program where the youngest sing or play instruments before we open any gifts.
- December 28, 2007 at 12:11 PM
Every Christmas we have a cousin (83 years old), my aunt, and a close friend all of whom have never been married and have not children come and spend the night with us on Christmas Eve. We get up Christmas morning and my Mom fixes the works for breakfast. Then we open presents. We make sure everyone has plenty of presents to open. It is lots of fun and to know that someone is not spending Christmas day alone and with no presents. When we get everything cleaned up then it is time to start on lunch. We have our traditional lunch of ham, turkey, dressing and veggies and dessert. Everyone enjoys the day and then we take some home that afternoon and some that night. We have done this for over 15 years and I would really miss not having them here with us. Oh yeah, on Christmas Eve night Santa comes by our house on a Firetruck and everyone loves getting out and waving to Santa.

Alright so on page 19 you have to translate from English to Latin, I made two mistakes but do not essentially know where I made the mistake. I would appreciate an explanation on why it is wrong and the general rule I messed up. Also why the answers I gave were wrong and the others were right.
So the English is:
The girls announce the sailors' wrongs.
I wrote:
Puellae nautarum iniuriae nuntiant.
The correct answer was:
Puellae iniurias nautarum nuntiant.
Secondly the English was:
The sailor is announcing the girls' fight .
I wrote:
Nauta puellae pugnant nuntiat.
The correct answer was:
Nauta puellarum pugnant nuntiat.
Thirdly the English was:
Diana's arrows are killing the wild beasts of the land.
I wrote:
Diana sagittae ferae terrarum necat.
The correct answer was:
Sagittae Dianae feras terrae necat.
Thank you, seeing how I do not want to move forward till I understand this please give me details.

Better behavioural research
Working with SimpleUsability
Many of our projects begin with an existing site, app, or piece of marketing collateral. Our clients want to Evaluate now what's working, what isn't, how it stacks up against competitors
As a solus piece of work, this can highlight immediate ways to improve conversion or engagement.
We then explore your audience, your category and your market in greater detail. Our user journey mapping workshops are a key analysis stage where all info is broken down ready to be built up and taken forward
Eye tracking card sorting delivers user insights into categorisation and labelling and cross-category merchandising.
Wireframing and prototyping next. At this stage 'lo-fi' is fine. It doesn't need to be a beautiful prototype, just create the interface and get it tested to save time on development
For in-store research, we can create virtual and real shelving to explore multiple pack designs, adjacencies and stand out on shelf
rapid benchmarking research has been designed for efficient testing of wireframes, prototypes and concepts. We're adept at working in agile development environments, iterating design in line with user comments during the research sessions
This also works really well for testing testing creative concepts for direct mail, advertising and printed publications.
By user testing earlier and more often in cycle the we can then use the reporting time to tweak your solutions ready to be tested again
Nearly 60% of organisations make no provision for disabled customers. We can conduct audits or train your team on accessibility best practice.
It's ready. You have a site, app or piece of software which has been developed without user-informed evidence. Regular user testing ensures your site is constantly optimised towards your goals and delivers the best possible user experience.
If you have not conducted any research by this point, it's still not too late. Pre-launch testing can ensure there are no glitches in the user journey or barriers to successful conversion.

Dress for the 17-Y-O
Added Nov 25, 2012
by caje-une
Lodon, United Ki...
Pattern taken from November 2010 Burda magazine no:103 page 36, sewing course.
I used silk organza for the yoke and some spare black polyester that has a slight sheen for the main body of the dress.
I'm a Threads Insider subscriber and used the french binding technique for the armhole and neck edges.
It is lined with black honkong silk lining.
The garment calls for pockets but there was not enough fabric and in any case, the client (my daughter) would only put her hands in them and ruin the line!
It is one of my easiest, fastest makes, even considering that I hand sewed the lining. The length is perfect for her, and it needed no adjustment. I graded the pattern downward to size 34, using a method I'd seen in an old Burda or two. Daughter will be adding the collar for more formal occasions. I'll get around to finding a way to make it detachable.
The collar and the lining fabric were bought in Silkhance in Tooting SW London, the organza is from eBay and I have no idea where the black fabric comes from except it just appeared in my stash.
Material Notes
Black silk organza, polyester something, satin bias binding, polyester thread, snap closure.

"With SUBWAY joining as a promotional partner for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,' Lionsgate has found new ways to reach a larger audience of fans of the film franchise," says Paula Kupfer, vice president of promotions and consumer products for Lionsgate.

"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem forever.
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" is directed by Francis Lawrence, from a screenplay by Simon Beaufoy and Michael DeBruyn, based upon the novel "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins and produced by Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik.
