Teaching seminars add up to second career for retired math professor
New London - Catherine Twomey Fosnot has traveled the United States, Canada and at times Europe to teach math teachers how to make math exciting and relevant to young students.
Now, the Norwich native is ready to come home and let the world come to her.
Fosnot, 65, retired five years ago from a 20-year career at the City College of New York and purchased a rundown home at the end of Ocean Avenue just outside the walk-in gate at Ocean Beach. She gutted the 100-year-old house, replaced a broken support beam and moved in.
"When I saw this house, I thought 'this could be perfect,'" Fosnot said earlier last week. "Ocean Beach is right across the street."
A week earlier, Fosnot launched Seminars by the Sea, a weeklong professional development workshop for elementary school level math teachers at the Port 'N Starboard. The workshops, hosted by Fosnot's company New Perspectives on Learning, LLC, drew 150 teachers from throughout Connecticut, New England and as far away as Ohio and Minnesota to learn innovative ways to make teaching mathematics exciting and relevant to young students.
Hartford is starting a pilot program using Fosnot's math curriculum and sent 45 teachers to the seminar. Darien and Fairfield schools have also adopted her math curriculum.
Fosnot has authored or co-authored about 40 books and articles on teaching math, including seven books to go with her Contexts for Learning Mathematics program that uses real experiences from children's lives to teach relevant mathematics. She also is a content consultant for an Internet math program called DreamBox Learning. DreamBox hosted a dinner for the seminar participants one night.
In New York, she founded Mathematics in the City, a professional development program for math teachers. When she retired, she turned that program over to a new director and said it has a capable staff that is still going strong. New London, Fosnot said, is far enough away from New York City to not compete with the program she founded there.
Fosnot's website, www.newperspectivesonlearning.com, now says: "We run institutes for professional development both in New London and on-site."
In one workshop session last week, Fosnot asked dozens of teachers to use problem solving methods taught in several countries - Italy, Russia, South Africa and Egypt to name a few - to work out multiplication and division equations. Teachers used large poster paper and bright colored markers to prove their solutions and pasted them on the wall for scrutiny.
Just knowing the answer to what looked to the adults like straightforward addition, multiplication or division problem was not enough, Fosnot said repeatedly. They had to learn to "mathematize" the problem, "crack the problem" and be able to convey that process to their students.
As she meandered through the room to eavesdrop on their progress, Fosnot heard repeated whispers that their young students would not be asked to solve complicated problems like those presented to the group.
"If you don't learn to love mathematics," she told the teachers, "you'll never be able to show your kids how to love mathematics. � If you're really stuck, get out the graph paper, use the scissors, cut pieces out and make a model."
During workshop breaks, teachers walked the Ocean Beach boardwalk on beautiful spring days all week. They watched ferries and sailboats float past and gazed at Ledge Light and the distant islands. At lunch, they ate with a Long Island Sound view.
Fosnot declared the pilot workshop a success and while she still travels to hold seminars elsewhere, she plans to do more and more of them across the street from her home. She plans a weeklong session in September and perhaps another one next spring. She hopes to offer shorter one-day or two-day professional development sessions at the Port 'N Starboard as well.
"It helps New London too," Fosnot said. "People stayed at the Holiday Inn. It was good business for the Port 'N Starboard, and after the workshops, they got to check out New London."
Helping New London is another goal for this 1965 Norwich Free Academy graduate and 2002 winner of the Norwich Rotary/Women's City Club Native Daughter Award, given annually to someone who grew up in Norwich and excelled in a career elsewhere.
Growing up in Norwich, Fosnot's family considered Ocean Beach their summer back yard, so it felt right for her to make Ocean Beach her real back yard in retirement.
An avid gardener, Fosnot joined the New London Beautification Committee, which promotes urban gardening. Fosnot will take care of gardens at Ocean Beach.
She plans to be part of another New London scene very soon. She has rented art studio space at 38 Green Street Galleries for her painting studio. Fosnot's paintings decorate every room in her Ocean Avenue home, many of them depicting scenes of people interacting with a calm ocean beach setting, most of those created before she thought about moving to New London.
She created a series called "Emergence" out of seven used paint pallets, melding the colors to depict the Biblical creation of the universe.
"I will put myself in with serious artists to get me motivated," she said of her art studio.
To Fosnot, art and math are naturally paired together. Solving a math problem is beautiful and artistic, she said, and the spatial relations of geometric shapes enter into her artwork in themed pieces that each show a single human being seemingly trapped in a three-dimensional space. She calls these "Creativity Constrained."
She did a large self portrait that shows her looking down into a mirror, with one of her math books in one hand and an open art book in front of her.
Fosnot said she has loved math for as long as she can remember. She won a sixth grade math contest at the Elizabeth Street School in Norwich, but she traced her desire to be a math teacher to an incident at NFA.
She was a straight-A math student, but in the second level class in the years of tiered classes. She asked a teacher why she wasn't in the top tier and was told flatly "the top class was for the boys who were all going to be engineers." She recalled there were a couple of girls in that class, but that was all.
"That's what motivated me to be a math teacher," she said.

Hair Care Kit (1)
Help yourself maintain a healthy scalp. Take care of itching, dryness, and dandruff. HAIRBACK® is a guaranteed natural remedy patented to supplement hair loss treatment, baldness treatment, dandruff treatment, scalp itching treatment and scalp psoriasis treatment. It is compatible with a broad range of scalp conditions regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, or degree of hair loss. HAIRBACK® has been extremely effective helping thousands of people with hair loss and scalp problems since 1996. HAIRBACK® derives from the healing chemistry of the honeybees. (The Food and Drug Administration has not conducted any studies on this product and has not reviewed any of the statements made here).
What Users can expect from using HAIRBACK®?
(1) Hair loss, dandruff and itching stop in a few applications.
(2) People with scalp psoriasis experience quick relief of the inflammation and irritation then gradually the scalp heals to it's best condition. Time period of full healing varies among individuals. In some individuals psoriasis may completely disappear within four to six weeks of twice-daily use while others may have to continue for longer period of time. Frequency of application and good massage are usually recommended for best results. (Food and Drug Administration did not review this or other statements).
(3)Those with baldness can expect areas of thin, weak and unnoticeable hair to grow thicker; such hair becomes more visible in a few applications. Within four to six weeks of twice daily use, new hair (peach fuzz) may appear at the edge of the thin or bald area. The newly grown hair thickens while new ones continue to appear. The hair growth continues from the edge to the center of the thin or bald area, i.e. it is an opposite process to the hair loss pattern. (Food and Drug Administration did not review this or other statements).
The HAIRBACK® formula derives from a guaranteed source of healing - the miraculous healing power of the honeybees. HAIRBACK® contains extracts from selected floral honeybee products including honey, propolis, royal jelly, pollen, beeswax, and bee venom plus the highly effective botanical actives used by the Egyptian and Chinese to help in the treatment of hair loss and scalp psoriasis.
HAIRBACK® combines all these traditionally proven ingredients in a "scalp delivery system" designed for reaching deep to the hair follicle and for optimizing the activity to help individuals suffering from hair loss and other scalp problems including scalp psoriasis, scalp eczema, and scalp dermatitis.
The honeybee products' ingredients in the HAIRBACK® have the following remarkable activities. These are well known activities to scientists and medical practitioners around the world:
(1) Tissue healing and tissue regeneration, which support the hair follicle regeneration.
(2) Anti inflammation activities, which help free the hair follicle from any internal stress caused by factors similar to DHT.
(3) Immune stimulation activities, which strengthen the scalp and help fight infections caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses.
(4) Natural antioxidant activities plus essential nutrients, which promote the health of the hair and scalp.
(5) Rich and essential nutritional supplements to support the follicle and tissue regeneration.
HAIRBACK is a revolutionary formula as described by users who solved their hair and scalp problems.

2011: A Year to Remember (and Forget!)
It wasn't until I started compiling stories for this post that I realized just how much had taken place this year on issues of food, agriculture, and nutrition. While by no means a definitive list, I think it covers the most substantial events.
So, if you've been spelunking in Antarctica for the past twelve months — or just want a short trip down memory lane — let's review 2011, the year where:

|[Al 5.0.5] Works on Linux, doesn't in WIndows
Member #1,975
March 2002
That's it: some examples of my new Allegro.pas wrapper that works on Linux (Xubuntu) raises a SIGSEGV on Windows XP SP2.
I suspect it's a problem drawing on memory bitmaps, because if the program doesn't do that (i.e. it uses OpenGL only) it works without problems.
For example, it fails at line:
i = 0 j = 9 hue = 180 sat = 0.335790485
GDB backtrace is:
1Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 20x3f2a09a2 in ?? () 3(gdb) bt 4#0 0x3f2a09a2 in ?? () 5#1 0x3f800000 in ?? () 6#2 0x3f800000 in ?? () 7#3 0x3f800000 in ??

As you see I'm using "allegro-5.0.5-monolith-mt-debug.dll" but it doesn't show a lot...
Another example (actually ex_gldepth), it shows an "Assertion failed!" message at file "text.c" line 102, Expression: text. But if I comment the lines that draws text on the texture it works perfectly.
May be it's related with the Allegro4 polygon3d issue, Free Pascal enables CPU exceptions for data conversion.

Can you set a breakpoint on al_put_pixel then step through and see how it ends up in qsort? (It shouldn't...)

That stack trace looks broken
Make sure you're also compiling your code in debug mode, as well as linking to the debug versions of the system libraries. If that doesn't help, you're blowing up the stack.

I've recompiled the Allegro 5 libraries (I was using Matthew's precompiled ones) but stack trace is still broken.
Can you set a breakpoint on al_put_pixel then step through and see how it ends up in qsort?
I did but GDB seems to be unable to step-in Allegro. If I debug the C examples it steps in correctly.
[off-topic] BTW, why does it use qsort? I've read the code and I don't understand the benefits of sorting it (and with qsort!!! Remember it's not the fastest in all cases ). May be that's why Al5 looks slower than Al4 in software rendering.[/off-topic]

I have revised it and it is correct.

Question is, how did I blowed up the stack? In Linux it looks (and runs) nice.
May be I should ask to Free Pascal/Lazarus experts.

That's the point, it does not. So I'm puzzled how how you can get a crash inside qsort...
Member #1,975

I've realized that my installation was old (I was using GDB 6!) so I've updated and recompiled... And now I have different information.
I did a step-by-step execution to see if it can debug inside the DLL, for example:
1(gdb) s 2EXAMPLEBITMAP (W=100, H=100) at examples/ex_blit.pas:29 329 mx := w * 0.5; 4(gdb) n 530 my := h * 0.5; 6(gdb) n 731 Pattern := al_create_bitmap (w, h); 8(gdb) n 90x00401530 in al_create_bitmap () 10(gdb) n 11Single stepping until exit from function al_create_bitmap, 12which has no line number information. 13al_create_bitmap (w=100, h=100) 14 at C:\msys\1.0\...\allegro-5.0.5\src\bitmap.c:142 15142 { 16(gdb) n 17143 ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap = do_create_bitmap(w, h); 18(gdb) n 19144 if (bitmap) { 20(gdb) n 21145 _al_register_destructor(_al_dtor_list, bitmap, 22(gdb) n 23...
You see it works.
But it still fails at the same line but showing different information:
1Breakpoint 3, EXAMPLEBITMAP (W=100, H=100) at examples/ex_blit.pas:44 244 al_put_pixel (i, j, al_color_hsv (hue, sat, 1)); 3(gdb) print i 4$10 = 0 5(gdb) print j 6$11 = 9 7(gdb) print hue 8$12 = 180 9(gdb) print sat 10$13 = 0.335790485 11(gdb) step 12 13Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 140x3f2a09a2 in ?? () 15(gdb) backtrace 16#0 0x3f2a09a2 in ?? () 17#1 0x3f800000 in ?? () 18#2 0x3f800000 in ?? () 19#3 0x3f800000 in ?? () 20#4 0x0bae2ec0 in ??

It looks like it fails before it calls al_color_hsv, doesn't it?
BTW, I'll ask at the Free Pascal mailing list because there are some odd warning messages that I don't understand, they're from another module but who knows::).

Lots of ??s in stacktraces is a big clue to memory and stack corruption (so long as you have compiled everything with debug symbols).
It's hard to track down if you don't have access to tools like valgrind.

Where to did you set breakpoint 3? I'm still unsure as to where exactly it crashes from what you have shown...
Member #1,975

Where to did you set breakpoint 3?
It's from a translation of the Allegro's ex_blitmap.c example to Pascal. The breakpoint 3 is in next function:
1 FUNCTION ExampleBitmap (CONST w, h: INTEGER): ALLEGRO_BITMAPptr; 2 VAR 3 i, j: INTEGER; 4 mx, my, a, d, sat, hue: SINGLE; 5 State: ALLEGRO_STATE; 6 Lock: ALLEGRO_LOCKED_REGIONptr; 7 Pattern: ALLEGRO_BITMAPptr; 8 BEGIN 9 mx := w * 0.5; 10 my := h * 0.5; 11 Pattern := al_create_bitmap (w, h); 12 al_store_state (State, ALLEGRO_STATE_TARGET_BITMAP); 13 al_set_target_bitmap (Pattern); 14 Lock := al_lock_bitmap (Pattern, ALLEGRO_PIXEL_FORMAT_ANY, ALLEGRO_LOCK_WRITEONLY); 15 FOR i := 0 TO w - 1 DO 16 BEGIN 17 FOR j := 0 TO h - 1 DO 18 BEGIN 19 a := arctan2 (i - mx, j - my); 20 d := sqrt (power (i - mx, 2) + power (j - my, 2)); 21 sat := power (1 - 1 / (1 + d * 0.1), 5); 22 hue := 3 * a * 180 / ALLEGRO_PI; 23 hue := (hue / 360 - floor (hue / 360)) * 360; 24 al_put_pixel (i, j, al_color_hsv (hue, sat, 1)); { <-- breakpoint 3 } 25 END; 26 END; 27 al_put_pixel (0, 0, al_map_rgb (0, 0, 0)); 28 al_unlock_bitmap (Pattern); 29 al_restore_state (State); 30 ExampleBitmap := Pattern; 31 END;
It fails in the 10th iteration of the inner loop, when i=0 and j=9.
As you see, the translation is almost "word-by-word".
I was thinking about the problem is a bad function declaration, but if it is then why does it run on Linux?

That's the beauty of undefined behavior... it may run. Or not.
The only thing I notice, when you pass State, shouldn't you pass a pointer? I.e. @State?
Also, does it still crash if you simplify the function, like remove all the math and just put black pixels.
Member #7,827

Could this be related to the struct return calling convention mess? Try doing this (or the equivalent in Pascal):
ALLEGRO_COLOR c; c.r = c.g = c.b = c.a = 1; al_put_pixel(i, j, c);

Oh, good point. And I should have thought of it since I need to work around it in the Python wrapper.

Elias, SiegeLord, it fails in both cases, but trying as SiegeLord says the program raises an ASSERTION:
Microsoft Virtual C++ Runtime Library Asertion failed! Program: ...\ex_blit.exe File: ...\bitmap.c Line: 200 expression: bitmap != dest && bitmap != dest->parent
Also GDB warns inside of an Allegro function that "bitmap" points to an invalid data space (0x00a00000, VGA? ).
I think that's the problem: it doesn't assigns correctly the "bitmap", because it fails in any example that tries to draw anything in a memory bitmap but works if it draws directly on the display (i.e: without changing the target bitmap or using OpenGL only). Now I feel as I should say this in the first post...
I'll check all functions and procedures than assigns/sets bitmap targeting and/or options to see if they're correct.
The only thing I notice, when you pass State, shouldn't you pass a pointer? I.e. @State?
I decided to use a more Pascal-style for the new Allegro.pas version so I used "VAR" that (as FPC documentation says) translates the parameter to a pointer when calling C functions. But I think I should check them too.
Member #358

Ok, so what did you do for al_put_pixel? Is the color var as well?
Also, how certain are you that everything works if you don't use memory bitmaps? If you comment out the one line to make the bitmap a memory bitmap instead of video bitmap in the example, does everything work?
Member #1,975
March 2002
Ok, so what did you do for al_put_pixel? Is the color var as well?
No, it isn't. It doesn't use a pointer on C so I didn't in Pascal.
Also, how certain are you that everything works if you don't use memory bitmaps? If you comment out the one line to make the bitmap a memory bitmap instead of video bitmap in the example, does everything work?
After read again the documentation, now I'm not sure as it looks like Allegro creates new bitmaps from video memory by default.
I did some more tests with more examples:
"ex_line" is the only example that works without any change.
"ex_gldepth" works if I comment the lines that draws text on the texture.
"ex_rotate" renders the first frame but then raises a "runtime error 216".
Similar behaviour for "ex_warp_mouse": renders the first frame correctly but fails when I move the mouse. If I comment all mouse events, it runs but raises a "runtime error 217" at exit.
I've look for information about those 216 and 217 runtime error and I find that 217 is fixed by register cleaning and 216 is a trojan. So I did updated my antivir (again ) and started a full scan, but I'm not sure if it's the problem.
[edit] Ok, I've found an issue:
Free Pascal optimizes enum sizes but GCC does not optimizes. This means that Pascal defines enum as BYTE, WORD or LONGWORD but GCC espects all as LONGWORD. I don't know if this is enough to corrupt the stack but it seems possible.
Also, I should verify the bool size.
I must do more testing.

If those enums ever hit the stack, any enums going to pascal from C, will push more onto the stack than expected, and going the other way, C will pop off more than expected.
Member #358
May 2000
The Allegro functions likely use "cdecl" or something which means Pascal has to use the C calling convention (which should include enum sizes and things like that - else nothing would work).
But there's some border cases like the mentioned return of a struct which happens with a few functions like al_map_rgb and al_get_pixel. Like for example if gcc makes the al_map_rgb in the DLL return the color by putting it into the EAX and EDX registers but Pascal expects it on some stack location... the consequence will be undefined behavior. This hit me in the Python wrapper for example [1]

If it helps, we could add alternative versions of those functions which update an output structure, if there aren't too many.
Member #1,975
March 2002
I'm still testing and updating (I have no much free time) but I think that the problem affects only some operations. For example, if I remove all pixel drawing[1] and text drawing some examples work nice (i.e. the ex_gldepth). But as I said I must do more testing and checking.

It looks as an optimization. Is the Allegro's DLL "Debug" optimized? If so, how can I deactivate the optimization? I use CMake only to compile and install Allegro.
IIRC PASCAL calling standard expects the first atomic parameters (INTEGER, BYTE...) into registers.

It may help but what alternative?
Member #358

It may help but what alternative?
Well, for example:
al_get_pixel_color(x, y, &color); al_get_rgba_color(r, g, b, a, &color);
That's the only two (plus other forms al_map_rgba) I remember from the Python wrapper. Inside the wrapper I'd then implement those other functions using the new functions instead of calling the DLL versions.
Member #1,975
March 2002
I still don't understand. The procedures that are problematic are the ones that draw pixels and text, not the ones that retrieve data...
Member #358
May 2000
In the Python wrapper (and anywhere else someone attempts to directly call DLL functions) only those functions (who have a struct as return value) should be affected by the mentioned bug.
Member #1,975
March 2002
Ok, I did more testing, tweaking and abracadabring and I think I finally found where the problem is (but I'm not sure why it is).
As you, Elias, said the problem is the "makecolor" family. If I do this:
al_draw_line (a, b, c, d, al_map_rgb_f (1, 1, 1), 1);
it fails, but if I do this:
ColorWhite := al_map_rgb_f (1, 1, 1); al_draw_line (a, b, c, d, ColorWhite, 1);
then it works.
I suspect the problem is that Free Pascal enables CPU exceptions for data conversion or the optimizations that you said, or both.
Now, I'll try a to find a workaround, but I've found that font drawing still raises a "Runtime error 217..." at exit. But it draws the text correctly using the workaround above.

Pinarello GRAAL Time Trial Bikes
Pinarello's description of the GRAAL:
"GRAAL is Pinarello's new technological jewel for time trials.
The invaluable experience gained with DOGMA coupled with the grand tradition of Pinarello time trial bikes, and the new Pinarello Lab construction techniques SOE System (Simulation Optimize Evolution) contributed to the design of the new forms and the advanced technology employed in this extraordinary project. Compared to its predecessor, FM1, GRAAL has completely new geometries, steeper seat tube angles and a vertical seat post.
The new tube sections are created with computer, including the waves on the down tube, designed to minimize weight and maximize performance. The front brake is situated behind the fork, to further increase the aerodynamic coefficient. GRAAL is available in two versions: one specifically designed for Shimano Di2 electronic shifting with cables run fully inside the frame and battery perfectly integrated into the rear chainstay. The second version, for mechanical drive trains, also has internal cables but no battery housing thus the chain stays are thinner.
To complete the project, we created a handlebar that perfectly integrates with the frame and forms a single body with it. The ANURA handlebar has internal passage for both electronic and mechanical cables to achieve clean forms and aerodynamics. Width 410 mm C/C and handlebar coupling equivalent 120 mm, 105 mm, 90 mm. Interchangeable extensions (various widths and tilt angles), adjustable in height and length. Adjustable pads. The GRAAL frame and ANURA handlebar are made of Torayca 60HM carbon fibre with 1K finish and Nanoalloy technology. The GRAAL frame is available in 6 sizes."

I'm a huge fan of your blog and so I'm delighted that you've chosen to use a few of my pictures from the Team Time Trial! Glad you liked them and thanks for the mention.ReplyDelete
@Mark: terrific photos, thank you!ReplyDelete
I'm afraid there's a wonderlust amongst cycling-journos, seemingly enthralled by manufacturers' efforts at marketing their ever-increasing tweaks and rethinks to differentiate their products as being ground-breaking TLA 'systems'. Does anyone really get off on the thought of a frame designed to save you 4 watts per km, 15 seconds over 40km or 12.4% increased lateral stiffness and yet have 3% more vertical compliance? What does that feel like? I fear it's all a case of the emperor's new clothes. I'm not fighting progress, but this is all an ongoing ploy to stimulate demand with the 'new and improved', and you bought it.ReplyDelete
@Curtains: A friend once told me that it's the cumalative effect that's important. All those watts here and there, and seconds here and there add up through the years...ReplyDelete
@Angelo: for sure these bikes will be far more slippery and efficient than before, and in competitive sport you'll take any advantage you can. I'm just a bit tired of the marketing language employed, with press releases blindly repeated as 'journalism'. Reminds me of 'corporate speak' ('touch base', 'ideas shower', 'future plans', 'going forward', etc.): we all know it's crap, but it's been left unchallenged, adopted to a degree, and gained a certain legitimacy as a result. I'm keen on the tech, it's the branding of the innovations that I find laughable. Brands are supposed to endure, surely, to gain a place in peoples' psyche; these will simply be replaced next year by something new.ReplyDelete

If you're wondering, "what on Earth did I just watch?" Fear not as we're still asking ourselves that very same question. Nokia Thailand has published this interesting and rather seductive promotional video for the Lumia 920. The Windows Phone is paired with a young lady who enjoys noodles, taking self-portraits and being slightly cheeky with the arrival of a mystery male.
Is it effective? Should you be a man with a pulse, it's definitely set to grab your attention. While the Lumia 920 is an elegant Windows Phone, we can't help watching this advertisement and not think of UK retailer Marks and Spencer and its seductive food adverts. What are your thoughts on the footage?

Two tandems reach semifinal rounds at Virginia Beach Open
July 15, 2013 | Lynchburg, Va.
Liberty University's men's tandem of Ryan Culkin and Mike Morrison and women's pair of Sarah Gogerty and Tinsley Zentmeyer advanced to the semifinals of the AA bracket at Saturday's Virginia Beach Open beach volleyball tournament.
Gogerty and Zentmeyer went 4-2 in pool play before winning three matches to reach the semifinals of their 10-team bracket. Culkin and Morrison finished 3-3 in pool play to make the seven-team tournament field and won their first two matches before being eliminated.
"They definitely have come a long way," head coach Drew Sherwood said. "I was satisfied and they were satisfied with how they placed."
They left no doubt as to which two teams Sherwood will take to next week's National Collegiate Sand Volleyball Association play-in event in Long Beach, Calif.
"Both teams are ready for nationals and I think they'll do really well for us," Sherwood said.
The Virginia Beach tournament, sponsored by the Tidewater Volleyball Association on Sixth through 10th Streets of the oceanfront, was an open and not a collegiate event and offered some of the strongest opposition Liberty has faced this summer.
More than 60 teams competed in three brackets — A, AA, and Open. Pool play started at 9 a.m. and the championship matches didn't end until around 7 p.m.
"It was one of the better contests we've competed in, other than down in Florida (in late June), where our two teams didn't even make the tournament field," Sherwood said.
This time, all four of Liberty's men's teams and all three of the Lady Flames' tandems made it out of their respective pools — three men's and two women's duos competed in the AA bracket while the other two teams dueled in the A division — into the championship tournament.
The four men's teams (including Joel Marselus and David Hong; Ethan Chase and Kevin Snyder; and Jeremy Gilbert and Steven Fawcett) all went 3-3 and the three women's teams (including Morgan Jones and Kara Matthews; and Amanda Taylor and Gabbie Reda) all finished 4-2 in round-robin play. Those three men's teams and two women's pairs each lost in the first round of bracket competition, however.
Sherwood will accompany Gogerty and Zentmeyer as well as Culkin and Morrison to Long Beach, Calif., next Wednesday before the national tournament play-in event on July 26. Only the women's and men's play-in champions will earn the last bid into the July 27 national championship tournament field.

Street Use is a fantastic blog, almost as great as Street Tech - and undoubtedly inspired by the same William Gibson quote - but this remark just boggles my mind with how fucking wrong it is:
The poor have time but no money; and the rich have money but no time.
If you want something, but you can't get it, you're not rich. If you want something, you can't get it, and you call yourself rich, you're wrong. Being a well-paid serf is not the same thing as being rich. (Also, I can easily find you legions of poor people with no time.)
By this logic, I, personally, am both poor and rich. When I want time, I get time; when I want money, I get money. The above quote is a prime example of how your beliefs control your reality. Believing in a false dichotomy traps you in a false dichotomy.
False dichotomies are easy to spot. They always give you absurd "paradoxes" - for example, rich people who can't get what they want, and people who turn from rich to poor and back depending on their mood. I've been a fan of Kevin Kelly for a decade, maybe more, but this reasoning really freaks me out. It's just so completely wrong.

Ring set with pavé diamonds and two cabochon sapphires, in white gold
Pegasus, the mythical winged horse, symbolizes the calm and serenity that make him an ideal companion.
The delicate setting of this white gold ring mimics the volume and flowing movement of the horse's mane, gently blowing in a celestial breeze.
The jewel wraps around the finger while the animal's mane softly falls around it.
The most extraordinary order ever seen on the Place Vendôme
It was in August 1928 that the Maharajah of Patiala arrived at number 26 Place Vendôme, escorted by servants carrying six boxes full of precious stones, including 7 571 diamonds and 1 432 emeralds. Impressed by Boucheron's reputation and the special link the Maison had established with India, he ordered an exceptional set of jewelry to be made up of 149 jewelry pieces with the thousands of diamonds, rubies and emeralds from his treasure. To this day, this is the most important and extraordinary order ever seen on Place Vendôme.Discover all of the Boucheron moments

There are no news or announcements at this time.
RWTH Aachen is not only an excellent technical university. Its Faculty of Arts and Humanities offers a broad spectrum of humanities and social science subjects. Over 5000 young adults study here.
The global challenges of the 21st century require interdisciplinary collaboration between the natural and engineering sciences and the humanities and social sciences. We work closely together with the natural science and engineering faculties on future topics such as climate protection, eHealth, or distributional justice between genders, generations, and nations.
Academic examination of our culture is thus not fixed within a certain perspective. Rather philosophical, social, and technical-natural scientific aspects combine to create a comprehensive perspective.
The Faculty of Arts and Humanities is made up of three departments. They cover teaching and research in the areas "Linguistics, Literary Studies, Philosophy", "Social Sciences", and "Education, Cognition, Communication".
The diversity of the disciplines and collaboration within the departments create synergy, that shape the faculty's profile and represent its strengths.

Scoring twice in each half last Saturday in a girls' soccer encounter with neighborhood rival Germantown Friends, Penn Charter logged a 4-0 victory that lifted the Quakers' record to 2-0 in the young season. GFS (0-2) had previously engaged in a much closer clash with another Inter-Ac League School, getting edged in overtime by Agnes Irwin.
The PC victory against the Tigers over the weekend was not a shock to those who know a bit about the nature of these two ballclubs as they delve into the 2013 season.
GFS has a team comprised almost entirely of three-sport athletes, and few have much of a club soccer background beyond basic grade school ball. While Charter, too, has a number of players who participate in more than one school sport, the Quakers also field many widely experienced travel team veterans who have soccer in their blood.
Penn Charter officially opened its 2013 campaign at home on the Friday before Labor Day, recording a 6-1 victory over Pennington School, a respected South Jersey franchise. Germantown Friends made its debut on the same afternoon, hosting Irwin and losing in OT, 3-2.
A marker by junior Taryn Milbourne had the Tigers even with the Owls at halftime, 1-1, and after Irwin went ahead in the second period sophomore Sarah Walker converted a penalty kick to tie the match once more. Irwin got the gamewinner about three minutes into overtime.
After literally strolling down School House Lane to Penn Charter last Saturday morning, the Tigers took the play to PC at the outset of the match, but the opening shot by junior Emma Wagner went wide to the left of the Quakers' cage and freshman goalie Mireyah Davis (three saves).
PC was soon knocking at the door at the other end of the pitch, though. A little over a dozen minutes into the action, Charter got on the board when sophomore Jlon Flippens scored from in front of the left side of the goal, converting off of a cross from along the right endline by Giovanna DeMarco. DeMarco, only an eighth-grader, was involved in all four of the Quakers' scoring plays. The youngster made another centering pass from the right, this one expertly placed, to set up PC's second goal, which was scored from just beyond the left post by sophomore Ayanna Matthews with 18:50 remaining in the first half.
GFS held the line after that and the count was still 2-0 at halftime. Tigers goalie Caroline Myran (six saves), a senior veteran, denied the Quakers a third goal with nine minutes left in the opening period, tipping an outside shot by Flippens over the crossbar.
A quick goal would've had the Tigers right back in the game, but it was the Quakers who remained on the attack as the second period got underway. Germantown had trouble getting much going at the other end, and whenever the visitors started to apply pressure, it seemed that PC seniors Steph Soroka and Kristina Kubach were on the scene to counter the threat.
Eight minutes into the new period PC went up 3-0. Senior Lauren Dimes fired from the left side of the box and the Tigers' Myran got a piece of the ball to send it rolling out just past the far post, but DeMarco was in position on the weak side to jab the ball back across into the net.
The lights on the Penn Charter scoreboard blinked off occasionally during the last phase of the match, but it could be determined that there were roughly 22 minutes to go when the Quakers acquired their final goal. Myran blocked a shot on net by DeMarco, but the ball rolled loose and Flippens was there to tap in the rebound. The GFS keeper prevented a fifth Charter goal later on, making a tough stop on a blast by Dimes.
"After playing some of these tough non-league games, I think we'll be ready for whatever the Friends League throws at us," said second-year GFS coach Adrian Cox. "Penn Charter's got a talented team, and that eighth-grader was definitely a difference-maker."

SACRAMENTO >> An early morning shootout in a Sacramento parking lot on Sunday left one man dead and at least four others wounded, authorities said.
The shootings occurred around 1 a.m. Sunday when a large group of people gathered in a parking lot on Fulton Avenue in Sacramento, the Sacramento Bee reported.
Two fights broke out and more than one person fired a weapon, killing a 20-year-old man, Sacramento County Sheriff"s officials said. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene and his name hasn"t been released by authorities.
Investigators haven"t determined what led to the confrontation and shootings. They"re asking the public for help with the investigation.
Angelo Mares, who was present when the shooting broke out last night, said the victim was a close friend who was killed by a stray bullet.
"He got caught in the crossfire. He got hit in the back of the head," Mares told the Sacramento Bee. "We were both smoking cigarettes. People were just arguing and we were watching them fight."
Lea Waterman said she had just arrived at the Hookah Lounge bar to celebrate her 19th birthday when she heard bursts of gunfire.
"I just dropped to the ground," she said. "I heard about 12 shots."

Final Examination of Christine Marie Bhutta

William D. Dinges, Ph.D.
The Role of Affective Religiosity in Marginal Catholic Identity
Research suggests that the religiously inactive are more likely to return to active participation if they continue to self-identify as members ("marginal" members) than if they relinquish their self-identification with the group ("former" members). However, very little research distinguishes these groups or explores other differences between them. This dissertation attempts to expose the factors that inform the religious identity of marginal and former Catholics. Binomial logit analysis supports the hypothesis that "affective religiosity" – emotional attachment to the Catholic Church – predicts whether inactive Catholics retain or relinquish their self-identification with the group. Ordered logit analyses partially support the hypothesis that marginal Catholics with strong affective ties are more likely than those with weak affective ties to return to active participation, marry another Catholic, and raise their children Catholic. Web-based personal interviews supplement the empirical findings.

Remember shirtless horse-man? He was somewhat of an amusing interlude, taking our mind away from a storm's impending devastation if only for a few moments. This Boise State horseface—spotted during the Broncos' exciting 28-26 Maaco Bowl Las Vegas win over Washington—is more disconcerting. Maybe it's the way his horseface loses structural integrity, bending and waving in equestrian amorphism, and it all takes away from the Holden Huff touchdown catch that helped BSU win the game—after video review, of course.

The two matches that are getting all the WrestleMania 29 buzz are undoubtedly John Cena versus The Rock and Undertaker versus CM Punk. But what are about the rest of the card? There are some interesting bouts going down, for sure. The SLAM! Wrestling staff bravely makes its predictions.
Alberto Del Rio (w/ Ricardo Rodriguez) (c) vs. Jack Swagger (w/ Zeb Colter)
DALE PLUMMER: The feud has really sputtered once the mainstream right wing guys said, �No Thanks.� At least one heel has to win a belt, so I�m going with Swagger here; although his title reign is going to be a short one.
NOLAN HOWELL: Jack Swagger perhaps had a chance of winning this match prior to his untimely conflict with the law. However, that minor chance was completely blown and Alberto Del Rio can do no wrong in the WWE. Alberto Del Rio retains the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
JON WALDMAN: What started out intense has simmered measurably. I think we finally get Ziggler cashing in to save us.
MATTHEW ASHER: ADR locks in the cross arm breaker. When it looks like Swagger will tap out, Zeb assaults Ricardo, drawing ADR's attention. When ADR goes to assist Rodriguez, Swagger gets ADR to tap out to the Patriot Lock. New WH Champ. Depending on when this match takes place Ziggler may cash in his MITB contract if he and Big E have already competed.
MARTY GOLDSTEIN: Is there a less over babyface than del Rio? I'd like to see Swagger go over and get chased for the title but my sense of it is Ricardo saves the day.
JAN MURPHY: For me, both guys have lost their momentum a bit of late. Swagger is overshadowed by Colter, while ADR is a better heel. I'll take Swagger, only because WWE had invested a lot of effort into this angle.
MATTHEW BYER: This match is either going to be one of the best on the card or one of the worst and it's really going to depend on how much time they give Del Rio and Swagger to work with (hopefully they'll get at least twenty minutes). It's a toss-up as to who win, but it'll likely be Del Rio as the WWE seems to be still trying to establish him in the main event.
Sheamus, Randy Orton & Big Show vs. The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns)
DALE PLUMMER: I�ll go with the Shield here and Orton turning on Sheamus and Show after the match, or the next night on RAW.
NOLAN HOWELL: The Shield's presence has really cooled as of late, but they still hold more relevance than the trio they are facing. While it wouldn't surprise me to see the unlikely trio of Sheamus, Randy Orton, and Big Show take home the victory in the least, something tells me that The Shield has someone hidden like a snake in the grass here.
JON WALDMAN: Look for the much rumoured Randy Orton turn here, costing his team the match.
MATTHEW ASHER: Shield will win via pinfall on Big Show. Somehow either during or after the match, Randy Orton turns heel by RKOing Shaemus.
MARTY GOLDSTEIN: The Shield I expect will benefit from some dispute or other between their opponents. That gimmick can run a long way if the bookers don't mess it up.
JAN MURPHY: No way The Shield loses its shine. Another victory as group builds its impressive resume.
MATTHEW BYER: This will probably be a case where the ring entrances are longer than the match itself, but really it's purpose is to further The Shield storyline and that doesn't require a lot of time. While much of the rumour-mongering is saying that Orton or The Big Show will betray their partners I think the WWE is going to throw us a swerve and have Sheamus help The Shield win the match.
Ryback vs. Mark Henry
DALE PLUMMER: Ugh, having to watch that bench press competition twice (once in person and again on tape) may have violated the terms of the Geneva Convention. I�ll go with Ryback.
NOLAN HOWELL: It pains me to see Mark Henry potentially lose a bit of steam on the heels of coming back and looking as great as ever, Ryback hasn't picked up a win on the big stage in a while. This will be that match.
JON WALDMAN: The visual of Ryback Shellshocking Henry will be amazing to watch.
MATTHEW ASHER: Probably the toughest match to call but I see Ryback picking up the victory. I don't know if he can Shell Shock Henry so if that's out of the question, look for Ryback to add a submission move to his arsenal for the victory.
MARTY GOLDSTEIN: Ryback IMO needs a decisive win but how to do so and protect Henry, I am at a loss.
JAN MURPHY: Two huge monsters. This will be a match filled with impressive feats of strength. Henry puts Ryback over and Ryback moves into the heavyweight title ranks.
MATTHEW BYER: This should be a short, but hard hitting match. I'll go with the veteran and say that Henry wins to prolong the feud.
WWE Tag Team Title Match - Team Hell No (Kane and Daniel Bryan) (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston (w/ AJ Lee)
DALE PLUMMER: Man, I wish there were some real tag teams that could vie for these belts, wait, there are? You wouldn�t know that just by watching WWE TV. Anyway, Team Hell No prevails as AJ is caught in a compromising position with Big E, because he�s the only in the match she HASN�T been with.
NOLAN HOWELL: This is a coin-flip choice here, but with Dolph Ziggler holding the Money in the Bank briefcase, it would be strange for him to potentially cash that in and hold one WWE Tag Team Championship belt. Team Hell No will retain here.
JON WALDMAN: I'd call for the title switch except that I expect Ziggler to pull a Rick Martel and leave AJ and Big E high and dry as he pursues World gold.
MATTHEW ASHER: AJ will distract Daniel allowing Big E to hit whatever that finisher is, allowing Ziggler to pick up the scraps. If Hell No has the Divas champ in their corner, expect AJ to put a beating on her.
MARTY GOLDSTEIN: Team Hell No will become Team? NO! after the heels go over.
JAN MURPHY: Time for Team Hell No to begin to crumble. It has run its course, and should produce a decent implosion in the coming months. Hell No wins, but beginning of breakup follows.
MATTHEW BYER: Another match that probably will be given little time. While I've enjoyed Team Hell No's antics it's time for a change so I'll take Ziggler and Langston for the duke due to some interference by AJ Lee.
No Holds Barred Match - Brock Lesnar (w/ Paul Heyman) vs. Triple H (w/ Shawn Michaels) -- if Triple H loses, he must retire.
DALE PLUMMER: I saw this floating around the Interwebs, �Triple H; comes out of retirement to fight a retirement match.� I want to believe that Brock is winning, but with the No Holds Barred stip, you know Mr. Sledgehammer will be making an appearance. And that may cost Lesnar the match.
NOLAN HOWELL: This is another matchup that seems to be written in stone. With Triple H having already lost to Brock Lesnar, look for him to settle the score here. Triple H will pick up the win, but Lesnar will not look bad in loss.
JON WALDMAN: As much as it wouldn't shock me to see Trips lose this one, Brock can suffer the loss and come out unscathed. Perhaps he costs Rock the match later in the night?
MATTHEW ASHER: Brock wins via F-5. Before the win, Brock locks in the kimura, HBK will interfere. Brock will lock on the kimura and break HBK's arm. Triple H will be caught up in the moment allowing Lesnar to deliver the F-5.
MARTY GOLDSTEIN: HHH retire? Not for Lesnar he won't.
JAN MURPHY: Don't see The Game retiring with a loss. I know he's all about what's good for the business, but a loss for either here is secondary. This will be a bloody fight. I'll take Triple H in a bloody, bloody mess.
MATTHEW BYER: This one should see lots of blood, but for it to have any meaning Lesner needs to be the one that goes over. One of the biggest mistakes WWE made with Lesner was having Cena beat him last year. It's vital to fully reestablish Lesner's credentials as a monster in WWE and what better way than ending Triple H career. However, as we've seen over the years WWE has a tendency of not making the best of decisions so I suspect despite all that Triple H is going to win the match with some help from Shawn Michaels.
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango
DALE PLUMMER: I know Jericho is doing whats right for the business, but I can�t believe he�s putting this joker over.
NOLAN HOWELL: Fandango is the newest project in the WWE. Chris Jericho is somewhat of a part-timer who came back to help make some of the new guys look good. Fandango dances his way into relevance here.
JON WALDMAN: I'm absolutely loving the Fandango character. I can only hope that he then moves on and puts an end to the ridiculousness of the "Tons of Funk" for good.
MATTHEW ASHER: Fandango wins. Somehow his dance partner will become involved, distracting Y2J when he locks in the Walls on Fandango. Jericho will be taunting Fandango about the pronunciation of his name when Fandango gets the upper hand.
MARTY GOLDSTEIN: Jericho is a better dancer and wrestler, so obviously he has to lose to Fandango.
JAN MURPHY: These guys steal the show with the best "match" of the night. Fandango goes over, as Jericho continues to help young talent. Most selfless guy in the biz.
MATTHEW BYER: This is the match likely to be sandwiched in between two of the bigger attractions on the card and will be a short affair. It's also one of the stranger matches this year being Fandango hasn't had a single match yet on RAW and the idea of Jericho putting him over at this point just seems odd. Yet, despite all that it's Fandango who needs the rub so I'll take him over Y2J via something sneaky and underhanded.
Tons of Funk (Brodus Clay & Tensai) and The Funkadactyls (Cameron and Naomi) vs. Team Rhodes Scholars (Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow) and The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella)
DALE PLUMMER: I like both these tag teams, but I could do without their Diva counterparts. I�d rather see both these teams take on Team Hell No for the belts in a Triple Threat match, but I digress. Of course then what do you do with Ziggler. I�ll take the Rhodes Scholars and the Bellas.
NOLAN HOWELL: Score one for the big guys and their gals here. Tons of Funk brings tons of pain to Rhodes Scholars here.
JON WALDMAN: As alluded to above, I'm done with Brodus and Sweet T. Time to retire the act and let Naomi loose in the Diva's Division.
MATTHEW ASHER: Quickest match of the night. Tons of Funk will win when Cameron and Naomi jump the Bellas outside of the ring. Both Clay and Albert, I mean Tensai, hit their finishers on Cody and Damien for the pin.
MARTY GOLDSTEIN: The Bella Twins and Rhodes Scholars will get to watch some victory dancing but it won't be theirs.
JAN MURPHY: Feels like a throw-in match. I'll take Rhodes Scholars just because they are so awesome as a team.
MATTHEW BYER: This is almost certainly going to be more of a comedy based match instead of a serious contest. So in the spirit of that WWE has a habit of having the heels win so I'll go with Team Rhodes Scholars & The Bella Twins.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Still to come, our predictions for Rock vs Cena!

Economic approach to the middle ear for cochlear implantation
Search Medline for
|April 24, 2007
In 50 patients aged among 18 months to 11 years we used short retroauricular skin incision with formation of two skin flaps and one muscular-perosteum flap. Together with the anterior flap we also rise periosteum thus revealing the suprameatal spina, with ongoing detachment of skin from the posterior canal wall until the fibrous anulus is being reached. We put posterior wall canal skin ventraly with specially designed by us wound stretchener. Using House curette we remove part of the bone that is situated between exiting point of chorda and Rivini's notch. This allows us to inspect incudostapedial joint and promontory. We form bony tunnel immediately behind the suprameatal spina. Direction of this tunnel points towards the incudostapedial joint and penetration of tympanic cavity is just above it. Using metal template and diamond burr we cut away bed for ceramic capsule of the implant and drill opening for the electrode.
We perform cochleostomy trough the external acoustic meatus between bony wall and elevated skin with diamond burr. The cochleostomy lies immediately over round window and heads up in oblique ventral direction. We carry out electrode insertion after securing the ceramic capsule to the bony bed. Electrode runs trough bony canal, middle ear and cochleostomy to the cochlear duct. After telemetric measurements and adjustments we close wound by suturing and tight dressing for the next 3 or 4 days.
This method offers the less invasive approach, short operation time and lack of risk to the adjacent structures as facial nerve or blood supply of the skin flaps and so on.

Of all the systems to have, a 95 and Vista. Anyway...
I have an XP on the porch [which is missing NTLDR (New Technology Loader)] which now no longer boots up at when--either the cell battery has died, or when my dad decided to fiddle around--move components to his liking--it crashed. Now it's a porch ornament. That saddens me.
Next came my Vista [which was bought August of this year] It was perfectly.
My brother had a Windows 95 just sitting in his attic, so I decided to theive it from him. When I got home and hooked it up, a lovely message decided to make its way to the screen; himem.sys missing.
The first thing that popped into my mind was to go download himem.sys from a site onto a floppy then insert it into Windows 95; I forgot my Vista doesn't have a floppy drive, so I used one of my CDRW's. However, I'm wondering before I go do that, can Windows 95 read CDRW's?
If not, I'm pretty sure it won't read a Flashdrive; I can wait until January and do a sort of "cross downloading" at school--take my CDRW to school plus a floppy, put both in the computer and transfer files. I'd rather fix the system now.
After I get the system running I was going to transfer pictures from that computer to this computer, then hand them to my brother [since he wants to keep the pictures].
After I transfer all the pictures I was wondering can I install Vista onto 95?
Main Questions:
Sorry for the lengthyness.
- Is Windows 95 CDRW / Flashdrive compatible?
- Can I install a floppy drive into Vista?
- Can I install Vista into Windows 95?

On days when I find myself in need of a good cheering up, I take some advice from Sesame Street and I sing a song. Heck, there's even a song on Sesame Street called "It Feels Good When You Sing a Song." Well, I'm sort of applying that song to today's post. I'm a wee bit bored this afternoon and I've got nothing in the way of news or posts to put up today... so I decided to play "Ask the iPod" (or Zune or Walkman or whatever) with my vast collection of Sesame Street music!
The rules of the game are simple, simply select all of your Sesame Street music on your iPod (this is easy for me, since all of my Sesame music is under the genre "Sesame Street") and put it on shuffle. Ask the iPod (or iTunes, I don't really care) one of the questions seen below and whatever song comes up gives you your answer. Simple enough, yes? So without further ado... this is Ask the iPod: Sesame Street Edition. The song title, artist, and album will appear in bold and italics and my witty response will appear in (parentheses).
1) If I was in a band, what would it be called?
"One Small Voice"/The Kids, Telly, Elmo, Hoots, and Prairie Dawn/Songs from the Street: 35 Years of Music
(GREAT band name.)
2) What should my career be?
"Count it Higher"/Chrissy and the Alphabeats/The Count Counts
(What? I should be an accountant? Score keeper? Very cryptic, mister iPod.)
3) What is something good that will happen to me in the future?
"I Love Trash"/Oscar the Grouch/Sesame Street Platinum All-Time Favorites
(I don't really think I want to know what that means.)
4) What is something bad that will happen to me in the future?
"Put Down the Duckie"/Hoots the Owl and Ernie/Sesame Street Platinum All-Time Favorites
(Having to put down the duckie? That IS bad!!)
5) What's the next thing I will cry over?
"I Don't Want to Live on the Moon"/Ernie/Sesame Street Platinum All-Time Favorites
(How eerily appropriate... probably one of the few tear-jerking Sesame songs.)
6) The next thing I will laugh about?
"Loud and Soft (Fuerte y Suave)"/Luis and Bob/Fiesta Songs
(I do always laugh at this song... and I did listening to it just now. You win this round, iPod.)
7) Why are my friends my friends?
"The Happiest Street in the World"/Big Bird and the Girls/Sesame Disco!
(Because... we live on the happiest street in the world? Of because "wherever I ever go" they'll be there? Eh, whatever.)
8) Why are my enemies my enemies?
"Captain Vegetable"/Captain Vegetable, Andy, and Eddy/Cheep Thrills!
(Yes! That is exactly why my enemies are my enemies--they tried to make me eat vegetables.)
9) How do my friends see me?
"The Ten Commandments of Health"/Dr. Thad and the Medications/Born to Add
(My friends see me as the living personification of the Ten Commandments of Health? Works for me.)
10) How do my enemies see me
"Silver Bells"/Bert and Ernie/Sesame Street Christmas Sing-Along
(I think this means they see me as a ding-a-ling.)
11) How does my family see me?
"Ain't No Road Too Long"/Big Bird, Waylon Jennings, Gordon, Olivia, Super Grover, and The Count/Follow That Bird
(They have faith in me to "learn to say yes when life says no" and realize that "there ain't no mountain you can't climb." How sweet of them. I love this song, by the by.)
12) What is my best quality?
"Three"/Elmo, Prairie Dawn, and Herry Monster/Sesame Street
(I must have three best qualities... the iPod can't narrow it down to just one.)
13) What is my worst quality?
"C is for Cookie"/Cookie Monster/Sesame Street Platinum All-Time Favorites
14) What's my general attitude towards things?
"Because We're Friends"/Zoe, Rosita, and Abby Cadabby/Sesame Street
(My general attitude: because we're friends anything is possible? Sure. Let's go with that.)
15) What type of friends would I get along with well?
"The Number Five"/The Kids/The Sesame Street Record
(Friends who each have five friends? Or does it mean five friends is my maximum limit? Or... does it mean I can only be friends with five year olds? Honestly... any of those is plausible.)
16) Why should I be famous?
"The Hokey Pokey"/Big Bird, Elmo, Telly Monster, Zoe, and Oscar the Grouch/Kid's Favorite Songs 2
(That IS what it's all about.)
17) What is my motto?
"There's a Big Heap of Trash at the End of the Rainbow"/Oscar the Grouch/Oscar's Trashy Songs
(What's a motto? That. That's a motto.)
18) What am I doing right now?
"Little Things"/Prairie Dawn/Sesame Street Platinum All-Time Favorites
(You got that right.)
19) How am I feeling today?
"What I Am"/will.i.am and the Sesame Street Muppets/Sesame Street
(I'm feeling proud and confident in myself--awesome!)
20) What is my life purpose?
"Sing"/The Sesame Street Gang/Sesame Street Celebrates!
(Isn't that the purpose of every life? That's what I've learned from Sesame Street!)
21) What song will play at my funeral?
"Sesame Street Theme"/The Elmopalooza! Cast/Elmopalooza!
(I am more than okay with this.)
22) What song will play at my wedding?
"I Am Chicken"/A Chicken/Born to Add
(Talk about cold feet.)
23) Will I get far in life?
"I'm Square"/Bert/The Gang's All Here
(So... is that a no?)
24) What scares me the most?
"A New Way to Walk"/The Oinker Sisters/Hot! Hot! Hot! Dance Songs
(Change... I guess?)
25) How is my life going?
"A True Blue Miracle"/The Sesame Street Cast/Christmas Eve on Sesame Street
(It's a miracle that my life is still going? Yeesh.)
26) What is my current theme song?
"This Frog"/Kermit the Frog/Songs From the Street: 35 Years of Music
(I think this is my always theme song. Kermit's song about making his way no matter what anyone said and being more than what he's meant to be. Perfect.)
27) What is some good advice?
"Keep on Trying"/Baby Ray Franklin and Mary Francis Franklin/My Name is Roosevelt Franklin
(Once again, Roosevelt Franklin and friends have the best advice for us all.)
28) What should I do with my life?
"Grover Work Song"/Big Bird, Elmo, Bert, Ernie, and Zoe/A Celebration of Me, Grover
(Okay, fair... but do I have to do every job Grover does?)
29) When I meet a girl for the first time I say...
"Rubber Duckie"/Ernie/Sesame Street Platinum All-Time Favorites
("You're the one/you make bath-time lots of fun." Yeah... probably shouldn't say that to a girl.)
30) How can I make myself happy?
"Let's Make a Dream"/Joe Raposo/We Are All Earthlings
(I'll be happy by making my dream come true. Makes sense to me!"
Well, Muppet fans, what say you? Go off and play Ask the iPod with your own music collection and let us know what you get! This works with Sesame music, Muppet music, Fraggle music, or even normal people music (bo-ring!)--the important thing is to just enjoy the music on your iPod (or Zune or cassette player or Walkman or whatever) and have fun!

Awesome idea, Ryan! Love the motto, got a little teary at the funeral song, and wish I had an iPod to play along.ReplyDelete
Cool article... but one question... how does one shuffle a cassette player?ReplyDelete
Just found my old tape of Big Bird's Birthday that I used to watch as a kid, some good songs in there! So this post was pretty appropriate for me today! ;PReplyDelete

District of Columbia Campus Masters in Criminal Justice Graduate Programs
Are you in the process of searching for Criminal Justice Graduate Schools and the right Masters in Criminal Justice Graduate Degree Program? Crime and crime-fighting has extended from local law enforcement to computer forensics and dispute mediation. Whether you have more of an administrative career in mind, or you prefer the laboratory and investigation, there are a variety of programs to choose from, and many programs do require the hands-on learning that you get on a college or university campus. Criminal Justice Masters Degrees are designed for those who aspire to assume, or already hold, a criminal justice management position, as well as for those individuals who are looking to pursue doctoral work after completing the masters program. So if this sounds like an exciting academic path, read on to take a look at some of your options.
What is Criminal Justice?
Criminal justice is considered a social science that studies crime, criminals, and the criminal justice system through an interdisciplinary approach. Some of the subjects included in Criminal Justice include:
- Legal studies
- Sociology
- Political science
- Psychology
- Forensic science (Criminalistics)
- Public administration
- Urban studies
- Philosophy
Criminal Justice attempts to identify, analyze, and explain:
- Patterns of criminal behavior
- Society's ability to control crime and delinquency
- The definitions, causes, and prevention of crime
- Legal processes and the treatment and rehabilitation of offenders.
Two Branches of Criminal Justice: Criminology and Criminalistcs
Criminology essentially explores the nature of crime and prevention, the behavior and traits of offenders, theories to deal with crime prevention. Review Criminal Justice Graduate Schools for Masters in Criminology on-campus programs
