Tigers coach Josh Pastner likes to talk about how there are three parts to the college basketball season. The University of Memphis aced their final run through the Conference USA regular season (going 16-0 in Part 1).
They carried a No. 20 Associated Press national ranking into the C-USA Conference Tournament (Part 2). And all anyone can talk about is Part 3 – the NCAA Tournament.
Yet even before the Tigers started play on Thursday, March 16, in the conference tournament in Tulsa, they were picking up all kinds of awards for their performance in Part 1. Joe Jackson was the C-USA Player of the Year. Pastner earned the well-named Gene Bartow C-USA Coach of the Year award.
Despite perfection in Conference USA and being named Coach of the Year, Memphis and head coach Josh Pastner will need to win at least one game in the NCAA tournament for critics to deem the season a success. (AP Photo/Randy Snyder)
In addition, D.J. Stephens was the Defensive Player of the Year and Chris Crawford the Sixth Man of the Year. Jackson was first-team All C-USA and Stephens, Geron Johnson and Adonis Thomas were third-team. Shaq Goodwin made the All-Freshman team.
So a standing ovation and a round of applause for one and all are in order.
Thing is, people sit back down after standing ovations. They then turn their attention to what's next. At this writing, the Tigers' fate in the league tournament was unknown. But at some level, it was a sidebar. The Tigers took a 27-4 record into the conference tourney and had done enough to earn an at-large NCAA bid in the event of a stumble.
Besides, it is Part 3 (drum roll, The Big Dance!) that matters first, most and always. Pastner and many of these players have had two trips to the tournament without a win. They still don't have a victory over a Top 25 team in this era, either.
No, none of this is news to anyone who has been paying attention. And Pastner finds the subject as tiresome as media members find his relentless stump speech for the league – "really good teams, really good players, well-coached, high-level."
So whether entirely fair or not – and there is an argument to be made that too much weight is given to what happens in the NCAAs – Pastner and this now-experienced team have reached the point of no return. Previously, there was room to say the young coach and his young players were still growing and just needed a little more time.
But if the junior point guard is the Player of the Year and Pastner is Coach of the Year, time is up. Again, at this writing, the Tigers' likely seed is but a guess – an outside shot at a 5 if everything breaks right, perhaps as low as 11 in the event of conference tourney disaster. Most likely, a 7.
Whatever the number, the Tigers will be face-to-face with a team about as good as they are. That team may play fast. That team may play slow. That team may have a little more experience, or a little less.
It doesn't matter. Nor does venue, crowd atmosphere, or any other potential excuse.
"Play for the name on the jersey," Jackson said, brushing everything else aside.
Predictably, as Pastner looked toward the Tigers' first opponent in the C-USA Tournament (Tulane, which beat Marshall in the opening round), he called them "two high-level teams." Each went 6-10 in the same league in which the Tigers went undefeated. But soon enough, any praise Pastner wants to dish about the next opponent will be more or less true. A legit team awaits in the NCAA Tournament. Pastner and his players will be tested by somebody that looks a lot more like Louisville, VCU, Minnesota, or at least Xavier (the four teams that beat Memphis), than Tulane or Marshall.
"We're in good hands,' Thomas said in reference to Pastner.
He may be right. Most Tigers fans and, yes, most media members, hope that he is right. For this is a likeable team and this is a likeable coach.
But results matter. After all, that is why the Tigers just collected all those awards from Part 1.

Java Module Systems, the EDT, and ClassLoader Issues
Java Module Systems, the EDT, and ClassLoader Issues
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Download Microservices for Java Developers: A hands-on introduction to frameworks and containers. Brought to you in partnership with Red Hat.
As mentioned in Java Module Systems SwingWorker, Runnable, Thread and ClassLoader Issues, where invokeLater and invokeAndWait are discussed, the EDT is a separate thread with its own context classloader, and this is most likely the system classloader. It is important to understand this.
If you create a user interface in a modular system, such as the NetBeans Platform, upon a user action logic will run on the EDT, and if in that logic you access classes by name, create new instances of them, or perform casts and those classes could possibly be in more than one module, you will run into classloader collision issues. I will restate here that this also affects EventQueue.invokeLater and invokeAndWait.
Along with collision issues, you need to also understand that certain class access may be blocked depending on the classloader being used once you set the thread context classloader. Imagine you have some classes your current UI components classloader can see; they are part of its dependencies. Those dependencies classloaders may not have access to each other. If you use a classloader which does not have access to some classes to set the thread context classloader, then access will be blocked to those classes, and your logic will not work.
Suppose there is a button and it has an action listener attached to it. It could be written as:
public class MyActionListener implements ActionListener { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt){ ClassLoader oldCl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); try { //here we are actually taking the current instances classloader //which could be slightly better than //MyActionListener.class.getClassLoader() Thread.currentThread() .setContextClassLoader(getClass().getClassLoader()); //create instances, cast, load classes by name }finally{ Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(oldCl); } } }
The above could make an assumption it is the only possible some.specificpackage.MyActionListener to be within any module in the system at one time where it to use MyActionListener.class.getClassLoader(), and if that were that not to be the case, you would need to get creative in the manner in which you get a classloader into this object.
The code does slightly guard against that since it uses getClass().getClassLoader() versus the static MyActionListener.class.getClassLoader() which would unequivocally infer it is expected to be the only one in the system per the way the class and classloader are being accessed. This means the instances classloader will be used, and if the instance was created using a specific classloader, and it is correct, then the code will simply work. If the classloader is not correct, then the logic which created the instance will need to be fixed.
This is another subtle way in which classloader issues can creep into the domain of concurrency and Java modular systems. You can use this information to ensure you have protected your modules logic from being broken by other modules at runtime which you probably will not have tested against.
Remember, if you use 3rd party libraries in a module, or you are writing one, it is highly probable and definitely possible others will too, and you may use the same ones. Whether the library is the same version or not, unless it is accessed in the context of a shared module classloader, i.e., the library is itself in a module versus a simple JAR dependency and all other modules use it this way, it can cause collision and access issues.

A quick tip for searching for files in Windows 7. This applies to campus computers or your Windows 7 computer at home.
If you are like me, I have a lot of files and sometimes need to find a file with a specific phrase in the document. By default, Windows 7 searches for your search phrase by the file names and not within the files. This can be changed by doing the following steps:
- Open Computer (Start > Computer).
- Click Tools > Folder Options (Atl-T).
- Select the Search tab.
- Select the second option for "Always search file names and contents (this might take several minutes)".
- Click Apply and then OK.
After making this change, the Windows 7 search will search file names and within files for the item you are searching. I found that making this change has helped me to locate files much easier.
Running Windows 8 and want to make this change, directions can be found at http://www.quepublishing.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1963993&seqNum=18

There used to be an Indian restaurant in town where my parents and I would order take-out. For quite a few years, it was "a thing we did." It was something that we did on our own, and also when people came over for dinner. In particular, we often got Indian take-out when my best friend Jenna was come over... so I definitely think of her when I think of those nights.
We each had our favorite dishes. My dad has always loved spinach, so he would order Saag Paneer. My mom loved the eggplant dish Baingan Bharta, so that was her order. I always ordered Chana Masala. And then we would all share. I can't believe that I remember that after so many years. One thing we all loved above all else was the naan bread. In fact, I think the whole reason we ordered Indian food in the first place was just so we could scoop it up with torn-off pieces of that fresh naan. The naans came in big rounds with huge bubbles with little burnt bits on them and other parts where the bread was thick and chewy. The thick, chewy parts were my favorite parts.
We would all sit down at the long coffee table in my parents' living room and spread out the big take-out containers of yum. The naans came in a separate container of their own (maybe they were wrapped in foil?), and I remember that the pretty much the whole time we ate, someone was always asking "can you pass the naan?" Ha ha! And the take-out order always came with a small plastic container of "mint sauce." My dad was NUTS about that stuff. In fact, my bff Jenna and I would always laugh, because every time my dad took a bite of the mint sauce he would exclaim "MmmmMmm! Have you tried the mint sauce?! You've gotta try the mint sauce!" As though it was a fresh revelation each time! Ha ha.
Now, I have a terrible confession: I don't think I ever actually tried the mint sauce. I was afraid that it would be too spicy for me. And I guess maybe I was just a stubborn little teenager, happy with my Indian take-out the way it was. But I definitely enjoyed my Daddy's over-the-top enthusiasm for the stuff.
Many years later, when I decided to become a vegan, I was pretty bummed to learn that naan bread is almost never vegan. I mean rotis are okay, but y'know... "roti roti blah blah blah." Naans are where it's at. When I first tried the Naan recipe from Vegan Eats World, I was so super happy to be reunited with this special bread-from-the-past and I couldn't believe how perfectly delicious and chewy and bubbly it was!

Good Sunday morning, everyone!
This post, which will be quick (promise), is coming to you only because I was finally able to spend a little time this morning on my favorite social media platform: Twitter. For those of you who are now rolling your eyes and saying to yourself, 'I am NOT going there...', here's real proof that it can link you with people, resources and information you might not get otherwise (or certainly might not find as easily).
I was looking at Twitter using Tweetdeck, and I have lists to filter groups of tweeps together. It helps me to focus on specific things like genealogy, archives, fitness, etc. I saw a tweet from @GenealogyCircle, Cindy Freed, with a link to her latest blog post. (Which in and of itself is great). But, what caught my eye were the words 'mail carrier' in the title of a prior post. So, I clicked through to read it (I'm painfully behind on blog reading and social media...apologies to anyone I've missed.). Cindy wrote a post about her gggrandfather and his work as postal carrier.
Well, I have to say, after reading that she had gotten some great information from the USPS historian, but nothing on her ancestor, I couldn't type fast enough! My great grandfather, George Jeffrey, was a mail carrier from 1903 - 1923 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. In 1998, when I did some initial research, I found out that the US Postal Service maintained records on their employees which are still in existence! I couldn't believe it. So I wrote to the address listed, and in a matter of a few weeks I received a letter from them. While they didn't have his specific record, they were able to confirm for me where and when he worked with the Postal Service, some great evidence!
Anyway, today, the USPS has a pamphlet with the resources available on the Postal Service and it's employees. You can find it HERE.
And, once I'd tweeted out the link, another of my tweeps, @Ghyxion, said her great Aunt had been a Post Master (or, rather, Mistress, as she later pointed out) and that the resource will hopefully help her get some more information too!
So, apparently, there are lots of us family historians and genealogists with Postal workers in our trees. Hopefully someone else will find this information helpful!
And, we're keeping up the family tradition of delivering information...just in a very different format! :-)

Sentimental Sunday - A Shared Profession Leads to Shared Resource
3 comments:
Wow, the U. S. Postal Service -- who knew that they kept these kinds of records? Well, now we do! I copied the link to the Pamphlet and will use it. Often people were postal carriers for a few years, if not for their whole lives. In fact, before my hubs went to grad school, he was a postal carrier for 2 years. I'm going to look him up (plus my other surnames). So neat!ReplyDelete
Laura ~ Thank you for the mention in your blog post. I appreciate it!ReplyDelete
You're welcome Cindy...thanks for jogging my memory so that I could share this resource!ReplyDelete

4th Blogoversary...Hi there
Sunday, February 21, 2016
WOW, it's the 4th anniversary of my blog. I can't believe that back in 2012 I decided to enter the crazy online world. So much has changed since then. I've changed so much in that time. I feel it's time to get to my second love, writing. I have been neglecting this blog too much and I feel like I lost myself, hence the wandering part in the blog title.
I thought about changing my blog name several times after my 1st blogoversary and changing what this blog was about. Of course i still want to share my ideas on books, but I also want to chronicle my life, lay down some feelings, and generally let myself have a place online I can let it all go. So I finally decided to make Read-A-holicZ into Wandering Bookaholis. (O.0)
The name is a combo of many things. The Wandering part because I love to travel, take pictures, and write. The Bookaholis, comes from my Instagram name, which after learning about #bookstagram, I wanted to keep and connect to this blog. So I won't be posting about books 100% of the time, just about 80%.
I am also making a new place to share more fangirliness with you all. Some back story though, I created a monthly book subscription box, around 7 months ago, called LOVINGLY BOOKISH. It was stressful and crazy! I loved doing it though, and seeing all the happy comments people shared. I unfortunately had to close it down about a month ago. My health had deteriorated SO MUCH. I was continually fatigued, had 2 major surgeries, and I was overall sick.
It's been a month now and I'm feeling better, not great but better. I'm going to come back this year and have this blog be more about me. This coming week, I will be sharing some awesome news with you all and I hope you will join me in celebrating 4 YEARS OF BLOGGING! So in the meantime, you can enjoy this awesome video of K-Pop stars pronouncing Western names :)

Hello…It's Jo from Jo's Country Junction. I was doodling during a long meeting one evening and came up with this quilt design, Peaks and Valleys. Once I got the quilt together then realized I wanted something a little more creative than my typical stippling for the quilting. Dawn, The Pajama Quilter, came to the rescue. She sent a video with a wealth of quilting ideas. I topped the quilt off with a strip border from the Salt Air Fabric line and wa-la…a finished quilt. The colors and prints are very kid-friendly, which makes it a perfect picnic or snuggle quilt for the whole family.
To cut out this quilt you will need a Tri Recs Ruler. Stop over to my blog, Jo's Country Junction, to sign up for a chance to win.
You will need a tri-recs ruler or a similar ruler that allows you to cut a triangle in a square block.
Fat Quarter Bundle of Salt Air
5 yards Moda Marble
3/4 yard stripe for binding
6.5 yards for backing
Before cutting I want to show you what the block looks like that we will be making.
We will be constructing "triangle in a square units" and coupling them with squares to create the block. Each block consists of:
4~ cream squares
4~colored squares
4~triangle in a square blocks with a colored center
4~triangle in a square blocks with a cream center
56 of these blocks are joined together to create the zig zag Peaks and Valleys design.
Working with this specialty ruler can be a bit tricky but very do-able.
Please note: There is a left and a right side to the small right angled triangles that are sewn to the center triangle.
Let's start cutting:
From the cream background fabric:
Cut 48~ 3.5″ strips.
Subcut: 232~ 3 1/2″ squares
232 center triangles
232 right handed triangles
232 left handed triangles
Cut four 3 1/2″ strips that are 18″ long from 29 of the fat quarters.
Cut 8~ 3 1/2″ squares.
Cut 8~ center triangles
Cut 8~ right handed triangles
Cut 8~left handed triangles
Now that everything is cut, let's start sewing. I sorted my left and right handed colored triangles into piles.
All seams are sewn at 1/4″.
Take the cream triangles and add the left hand side piece like this.
Press the seam to the printed fabric to create this.
Add the right hand triangle next.
Press to the printed piece to create this.
Repeat to create 232 units. Repeat the process making units with a printed center and cream outer triangles creating 232 units.
Next add a square to each triangle unit as shown. Note that the center of the triangle is the color of square that is added. Make 232 units of each type. Press all seams to the point of the triangle.
Sew the units together in a line as shown. Press all seams to the point of the triangle.
Make 232 units.
The units now need to be sewn together to make blocks. To do that, arrange four of the strips together as shown.
Match the seams and sew. Press. Repeat to make 56 blocks. You will have some units left over. Save these to piece the backing.
Sew 8 blocks together in rows. Make 7 rows. Sew the strips together to create the quilt top.
To piece the backing sew the remaining units together into one long strip. Cut the backing in half. Sew a strip of backing to each side of the pieced unit. Press.
Sandwich top, batting and back.
Quilt as desired.
I quilted mine using the Pajama Quilter's flower and ribbons design for quilting in the cream area. I put evergreen type Christmas trees in the colored zig zags. It's free hand quilting. It's the most complicated design I've done but I love it.
Cut 9- 2 1/2″ binding strips. Bind.
84″ x 96″ Quilt
Make sure to stop by at my blog, Jo's Country Junction, to sign up to win one of the tri-recs rulers.

Cameragal necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 156 diseños de 28 diseñadores freelance.
Cameragal Montessori
Cameragal Montessori School is a preschool for children 3 - 6 years old. It is a not-for-profit community preschool.
The school is run according to the principles and philosophy of Maria Montessori.
Dr Montessori believed that young children need to touch their world. The Montessori environment for this age group revolves around assisting the child towards independence with Practical Life activities and letting them explore their world with Sensorial activities. It also encompasses early literacy and numeracy.
The Montessori classroom is designed to allow the child to experience the excitement of learning.
Materials are organised into 4 groups:
• Practical Life,
• Sensorial,
• Mathematics and
• Language (which includes Botany, Geography and Cultural activities).
Everything in the Montessori classroom is beautifully presented and cleverly prepared for the child to enjoy and learn.
You can learn more about the school at the website: http://www.cameragal.nsw.edu.au
Our target audience is families with children 0-3 years who are looking for a Pre-school for their children .While the school is about young children, the logo is really for an adult audience: parents with small children, local community, wider school community.
The logo will be used on all school materials: brochures, posters, letterhead, newsletter, website, advertising.
The school name: CAMERAGAL MONTESSORI SCHOOL
The tag line: HELP ME TO DO IT MYSELF
The logo needs to work with the name and tag line as well as stand alone.
Preferably, it will work in black and white and reversed out of colour as well (see website).
Feel free to use the font style on the website or design your own. Capitals are not necessary.
The logo needs to reflect that it is a preschool for young children but at the same time, we are a member of a world wide professional organisation that is highly respected. The logo therefore needs to look professional, clean, modern and fresh.
We would prefer no clip art.
You can focus on an element of the Montessori classroom ( one of the four mentioned above) or a quintessential piece like The Pink Tower (a google search will find it for you).
Or choose something completely different. Most of all, have fun with it! It's about small children and learning and fun.
We would like a high resolution jpg and a layered CMYK psd, please.

When wide receiver Jordy Nelson failed to participate in practice at all this week, it seemed that there was a strong chance that the Packers would have to go without him for a second straight week.
That's turned out not to be the case. Nelson is active and will start for the Packers against the Cardinals on Sunday despite the hamstring injury that's been bothering him for the last couple of weeks. We'll see how much he winds up playing, but his presence should be a good thing for a Packers offense that didn't quite click on all cylinders against the Jaguars last week.
With a bye following the game against the Cardinals and a final stretch of games that feature five divisional contests and a trip to face the Giants, there was some thought that the Packers would give Nelson Sunday off in order to improve the chances he's fully healed for the back end of the schedule. Wide receiver Greg Jennings has expressed regret about returning too fast after initially hurting himself in Week One and he's wound up playing just one quarter since then.
The Packers decided to take the risk, obviously, and we'll find out soon if it was the right call.

Liberty News
NHCLC president Sam Rodriguez speaks at convocation
The Rev. Sam Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) returned to Liberty University today to speak at convocation, which was also part of The Awakening 2010 conference being held on campus and at Thomas Road Baptist Church.
He was introduced by Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. as "one of the most influential Hispanic Christians in North America."
Rodriguez's first visit to Liberty was in 2008, when Liberty forged a partnership with the NHCLC.
In his message today, Rodriguez renewed hope for America, giving an emphatic charge to students. Citing Joshua 1:6-90, he urged them to "Be strong and brave as you lead in the conquest. There are lives of promise waiting to be conquered … even in the midst of conflict."
Despite our living in an age of conflict, there is hope, he assured them.
"Christ, the hope of glory… Hope by speaking and preaching and living the gospel." And hope "that a generation will rise, committed to Christ, empowered by His Holy Spirit, grounded of His word, that will have the audacity to declare, 'For the Spirit of the Lord has anointed this generation to bring the Good News to America and the world.'"
Rodriguez told students that we need anointed voices to rise for God.
"This generation will not be silent … for every devil that rises up against you there is a bigger God who will rise up for you."
Rodriguez was part of a lineup of more than 50 leaders of faith-based and policy groups scheduled to speak at the two-day Awakening conference, which was sponsored by the Freedom Federation. Rodriguez led a breakout session titled "Latino in America: Demographics, Values and Messaging Room" and is scheduled to speak tonight on "Righteousness and Justice" at the event's Liberty and Justice Rally. Click here to watch the event live.
- The NHCLC serves 16 million Hispanic born-again Christians in the United States and Puerto Rico across generational, country of origin, and denominational lines on issues that pertain to the family, immigration, economic mobility, education, political empowerment, social justice, and societal transformation.

College Students,
Silent Events is considered the founding father of this movement. Created by Ryan Dowd, a former tour manager for Widespread Panic and Drive-By Truckers, the company introduced wireless headphone disco parties at Bonnaroo.
"I think it's become a phenomenon because there are so many ways to enjoy it," says Dowd. "If you don't like loud music, you can dial down the volume. If you don't like a certain type of music, you can change the channel. If you don't dance, you can people watch."
The crowd inside a relatively small tent all grooved out together while the sound is transmitted to personal wireless headphones instead of a normal PA system. To claim that the experience is surreal and a trip is an understatement. This one of a kind experiment should not be missed. I would not be surprised to see one popping up in an urban area near you soon.

My story makes me feel happy! This book reminds me of when I was a baby because John's child is as lazy as I was. This book is special because it has two stories in one book. The stories are "When I Have a Little Boy and When I Have a Little Girl". This book is just like the book "No David" because the boys in it are just as funny and lazy as David.
I think adults, children and my family should read this book. People should read it to have fun.

Apparently only one of the Islamic terrorists who attacked Mumbai survived. He is now being interrogated by Indian authorities, and information about the attack is starting to emerge.
The survivor is a Pakistani named Mohammad Ajmal Mohammad Amin Kasab. Kasab claims to be the person who murdered Anti-Terrorism Squad chief Hemant Karkare and other policemen. Evidently there were only ten terrorists involved in the attack, which seems like a low number for the mayhem they caused and the time it took to kill them. Kasab says that five teams with two members each attacked a series of targets, to which they took taxis. I'm not really a gun guy, but I can't help thinking that a few armed men here and there–citizens, if not security guards–would have been helpful.
Kasab says that the plan was to take hostages and try to escape from Mumbai; so far, at least, there is no indication as to why the terrorists didn't attempt this. Finally, this item is interesting:
According to a Mumbai crime branch official, the ten terrorists had not come to Mumbai before this to conduct any 'recce' and they had learnt about the locations with the help of Google Earth.
UPDATE: A video report accessible at the Times of India site linked to above contradicts this information in several respects, and adds that Kasab told authorities he was trained for three months by the Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan. As always, this sort of preliminary information should be taken with a grain of salt.

Indiana Campus Education Psychology Graduate Programs & Schools
Are you looking for educational psychology graduate schools? Interested in learning about school psychology at a graduate level? Whether you are interested in educational psychology research, applying research findings at the school and district level, or a career as a school psychologist, pursuing campus Education Psychology Graduate Programs may have a number of distinct advantages.
Earning an educational psychology degree in traditional classroom setting may allow you one-on-one interaction with your professors, as well as cooperation with your peers and fellow students. The community environment of a traditional campus may also allow you to take advantage of networking and social opportunities. You may be able to utilize campus resources, such as the library, career services, gym, or academic support services.
How to Search for an Educational Psychology Graduate Schools
Studying educational psychology or school psychology means analyzing the science behind how people learn. This may encompass theory and research methodology, as well as the application of that research in educational settings, and may include any of a number of concentrations. With the broad scope of possible study and career goals, how do you know which educational psychology graduate programs may be right for you?
You may wish to choose Education Psychology Graduate Programs that reflects your particular focus or career goals. For example, are you interested in pursuing educational psychology research? If so, a program with a focus on rigorous scientific theory and research methodology, or which offers the opportunity to get involved in hands-on research projects may be your ideal choice. Alternatively, if you are interested in the application of research in an educational setting, or in working with a school population, you may find an educational psychology program that
enables a focus on those topics.
If flexibility is a primary concern for you, you may still be able to take advantage of the traditional campus while fitting graduate education into your daily life. With the increasing role of technology in higher education, many traditional campus programs may also boast some online classes as an option.
Finally, location is a factor. Are you a working professional, looking for a campus convenient to work and home at which to complete your Education Psychology Graduate Programs degree? Or are you interested in a campus in a new and interesting location? If you wish to travel someplace new, the nature of the campus (urban vs. suburban or rural) may make a difference for you.
Types of Education Psychology Graduate Programs
If you are researching educational psychology graduate schools, you may have noticed that there may be a number of different types of graduate degree programs available. While many of these have similarities, each of them may be distinct in several important ways.
Earn Your Master's in Educational Psychology
There are several different types of educational psychology master's degree programs, which may be similar in many ways. Understanding the difference between them may assist you in choosing your ideal program.
M.A. programs in educational psychology may often be theoretical and research-oriented. These programs may emphasize research methodology, and lay a foundation for further study at a higher graduate level. While M.A. programs in educational psychology may have a variety of potential applications, students of these programs might later go on to pursue careers in research or earn a Ph.D. in educational psychology. M.S. programs may have a lot of similarities, but may focus on practical application, such as in a counseling setting or elsewhere. The particular differences and the degree of contrast between an M.A. in educational psychology and an M.S., however, may vary by program and school.
M.Ed. programs, like the M.A., may encompass scientific research methodologies and theory, but may not be oriented toward pursuing a career in research. Instead, these programs may focus utilizing that research data in educational settings, particularly at a macro level.
What Are the Psy.S. and Ed.S. in Educational Psychology?
Often categorized with and offered continuously with master's programs, specialist degrees like a Psy.S. or an Ed.S. in educational psychology allow an individual to demonstrate expertise in a particular area beyond the master's level. While often offered continuously, in conjunction with a master's program, these programs can also be found separately, for those who may already hold a master's degree from another institution.
Depending on the individual programs in question, the primary difference between a Psy.S. in educational psychology and an Ed.S. may be the school that issued the degree. Psy.S. are often issued by psychology schools, whereas an Ed.S. in educational psychology may be issued by a school of education. However, the focuses of these programs may also vary accordingly, with the Psy.S. potentially focusing on the clinical aspects of educational psychology, and the Ed.S. focusing on educational research.
Types of Educational Psychology Doctoral Programs
Doctoral programs in educational psychology, like master's programs, may offer any of several options.
Educational psychology Ph.D. programs may be the most familiar, and as such, may be widely applicable in variety of career paths within educational psychology. However, a Ph.D. in educational psychology may be research based, and these candidates may go on to careers in research or academia, such as teaching at the university level.
Ed.D. programs, like Ed.S., may often be administered by schools of education. Newer than the Ph.D., an Ed.D. in educational psychology may focus on rigorous educational research, either in the vein of performing said research, or developing fluency with research methods to analyze and apply the data in an educational setting.
A Psy.D. in educational psychology may often be earned from a school of psychology. Also focusing heavily on research, these programs may be more clinical in nature, oriented toward the practitioner of educational psychology, such as in the role of a school psychologist or counselor.
As with most programs, the specific differences between these degree types may vary depending upon the individual institution and program in question.
Educational & School Psychology Graduate Certificate Programs
Another potential option for working professionals who wish to expand their expertise is earning educational psychology graduate certificates. Graduate certificates may be earned at a variety of levels. Many certificate programs are open to those who hold bachelor's degrees, and may either be generally focused or centered on a specific concentration. Additionally, some post-master's graduate certificate programs in educational psychology may be an option for those who already hold a graduate degree but which to continue their studies in a specific area.

Apple acquired an Israeli flash memory maker called Anobit in December 2011, and ZDnet reports on some choice quotes that CEO Ariel Maislos shared about life working inside the famous Cupertino company.
Most notably he said that "[t]hey say that Intel is full of paranoids, but at Apple, they really are after you."
This shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
Former CEO Steve Jobs was notorious for pushing his employees harder-than-hard and, according to company urban legend, once fired an employee in the elevator for not having a good enough answer to the question "So what have you done for Apple lately?"
It's pretty easy to imagine that this attitude could creep into the corporate culture even though Maislos was with Apple when Tim Cook was CEO.
The company is one that thrives on secrecy and obsessive attention to detail, and this approach is less than conducive to friendliness.
It might be an unconventional strategy (or even an undesirable one), but it's hard to argue with results - Apple is one of the most successful and valuable companies today. And this tough-as-nails attitude might be at the root of it.

Post subject: Lisfranc and Tightrope
I injured my right foot (Lisfranc joint dislocation/fracture on 4/5 toes - the big toe was not affected) and I am going for a TightRope surgery next week. Anyone had one of these?
Will I be able to windsurf again?
Some background:
I injured my right foot on 8/19 while on a trip in Peru. Technically, the injury did not occur while windsurfing. I was on the shoreline after a windless windsurfing session and a wave hit the shore deeper, made me lose my balance and load/twist the right foot while the board was pushed over the foot and kept it twisted long enough for the injury to occur.
I went straight to Emergency where they did X-Rays and diagnosed the injury. Within 3 hours I went in surgery room under anesthesia. The orthopedic surgeon decided to go with an closed reduction (they just put back the metatarsal in the joint without cutting). I was in a soft cast for a 1 week before going back to check and then they put me in a cast to allow me to fly back to the US. The Peruvian orthopedic doctor thought that I could keep the cast for 3 weeks and then start physical therapy. However, my family doctor sent me in for new X-ray after 3 weeks, and saw something wrong, so sent me for a CT scan and then referred me to an orthopedic surgeon. The CT scan showed that I had some fractures (sort of fragments where the joints popped out and where put back in through closed reduction). We kept the cast for 6 weeks than did a new x-ray by loading some weight on my right foot. The new x-ray showed that the joint was not stable (under pressure, the second metatarsal slide aside and push aside all the other metatarsal by probably 3-6 mm). The doctor advised me to install a Tightrope to keep the second metatarsal close to the first (only stable one). I have this procedure scheduled for next week (10/12) and I am wondering if any other windsurfer can tell me if it worked
for her/him.

Post subject: broken foot
Sorry to hear about the break. It was 18 + months ago that i broke 3 metatarsils in my right foot.
The doctor in maui thought it was a lisfrank fracture which he said would take 6 months to a year to heal.
Once i got back to LA i saw two docs and both said i had only the 3 metatarsils fractured and no lisfrank fracture. there was no0 surgery necessary and i just used a boot and crutches for 1 1/2 months and then a cane and boot for a month and then a boot alone for a month. I was out on my boot all the time a constructuion job sites for months 2-4.
then my doc said it was almost healed and that i could use supportive shoes and the fractures should all be healed by month 5 end.
Well i did too much activity on it and it never healed in month 5. From then on i wore the boot for month 6 and then really stiff hiking boots. All this time my foot would still swell up and i would keep it elevated when i got home.
Well finally after 10 months i began to wear normal shoes and at the end of month 11 the doc said my foot was finally healed.
He thinks my low vitamin D levels contributed to the extra long recovery.
So takes lots of vitamin D and keep off your foot and keep it elevated to reduce the swelling.
I am 52 and healthy and in good shape, but i gained about 20 pounds while my foot was broken last year. happily that is gone now and my foot feels almost like new. I still have some tender ligaments after walking over rough ground and when i run too much.
Keep me posted with what you decide to do and how the recovery gomes along.
Do you go to Peru often? I would love to go both to the sea as well as the rainforests too.
Cheers Ian

Non-healing / fusing fractures can be a real pain. Go see board certified Podiatrist or Orthopod ASAP.

Thanks for all responses.
Isobars: I know. It was certainly unlucky to get injured in the middle of a very active season (Before this injury, I had sailed the most than in the last 15 years) and in such a way. I am not taking any shortcut and just following my podiatrist advice.
gregorvass: After returning from Peru, I was referred to a certified podiatrist who is specialized in sport injuries.
Ian: I am following your advice and adding vitamin D to my diet. I am 43, healthy and in good shape. I am trying to dont gain too much weight by forcing myself to walk (even if just on crutches). So far, I have been 4 times to Peru (Trujillo and northern coast) to visit my wife's family. This was the first time I carried some windsurfing gear because I was planning to sail at Pacasmayo for the AWT event (I am not a pro, and was going to be my first wave event). I injured myself in Huanchaco just a couple of days before the event. Still, I was able to visit Pacasmayo (on crutches) and take some clips of the event. Here a very rudimental video from my clips:
P.S. Before the injury, I had the time to take a road trip from Trujillo (coast) to Tarapoto (rainforest) with a stop in Chancapoya (mountains). Two days drive each way. Tarapoto can also be reached by plane and is only 2 hour drive from a river ferry on the Amazon river until Iquitos. It was an interesting trip except for the road that is kind of scary (lots of landslides). I would fly another time.

A tightrope is sort of a patented artificial ligament to replace a torn or badly damaged Lisfranc ligament:
I believe these devices were approved in 2007 for use in the US, and I was wondering what is their effectiveness and durability.

I'm sure most of you are familiar with the concept of event amplification as I've blogged about it many a time but just to bring everyone up to speed…
Event amplification makes use of networked technologies to amplify an event beyond the physical location. It is a pattern of behaviours rather than a prescriptive term and one could consider the following approaches:
- Amplification within an event – e.g. by use of Twitter between attendees
- Amplification outwards during an event – e.g. by video streaming of talks
- Amplification after an event – e.g. by sharing of slides or videos of presentations
I personally have always regarded event amplification in the academic sector as intrinsically open, though I realise that this isn't actually the case. In the private/commercial sector there are many business models for event amplification and people often pay to view streaming or access resources. The streaming itself is often behind a firewall and people login and pay per view. It is likely, given the economic climate and changing face of online events, that these models could filter through to the academic sector. In efforts to test the water we have asked attendees of events we run (like IWMW) how they would feel about paying for content and this is an area we will continue to explore. Kirsty Pitkin (the Event Amplifier), with whom we have a good working relationship, designs custom event amplification and hybrid event plans, which can be open access or premium access. This way she enables event organisers to decide whether they want to simply spread their message and promote their event, or derive an additional revenue stream from making their event available online.
However having a business model in place should not prevent many aspects of event amplification from remaining free and open in the form of open content (such as slides on slideshare, documents and videos).
Staff Development
One key area facilitated by open access to events is staff development. Staff development it often one of the first areas to suffer when budgets are tight which is unfortunate given that there is clear indication that staff who are continually developed are happy, motivated staff. My colleague Brian Kelly is giving a presentation at this year's Online Information Conference 2011 entitled Open Content and Open Events: Professional Development in an Amplified World. As Brian explains in his abstract:
"In the current economic and political climate it is often difficult for organisations to provide funding for attendance at conferences, seminars, workshops and other activities by which information professionals update their skills and enhance their professional networks. In addition, concerns related to the environmental impact of travel add new challenges to those involved in providing such events. Technological developments, including the availability of WiFi networks at many venues, increased ownership of mobile devices with networked capabilities and the wide variety of communication and collaborative tools available, offer new opportunities for the provision and 'amplification' of events to enhance professional skills, whether hybrid or online only. "
Using open content to support staff development has now become a fairly mainstream activity. I'm sure many of us have turned to YouTube or other online video services to work out how to fix our PC at some point or another. Screencasts are another excellent way in which we can use other people's shared content to aid us in learning skills.
An interesting approach was taken by the Student Learning Centre at the University of Leicester in 2009. They decided to open-up their annual Learning and Teaching in the Sciences Conference (usually an internal event) in the form of a participant-driven 'unconference', focused on the theme of assessment. Prior to the event they used many social networking tools to raise interest from both internal and external participants. They also created a Twitter hashtag for the day. On the day 20 participants watched plenaries and took part in group discussions. During the day Twitter messages containing the designated hashtag were projected on screen by a data projector via Twitterfall. Displaying these tweets allowed "the contributions of the participants in the room and the remote participants to be merged." Not only this but "Twitterfall also allowed participants to see commentary from groups other than the one they were in, and to participate in multiple groups if they wished to."
After the event extensive analysis was carried out on the Tweets from the day using tools like Twittertag and AGNA network analysis software, a free social network analysis tool. The data showed a high level of network connectivity between both internal and extenal Twitter users. Attendees were also asked to give their thoughts on how it went. There was a lot of positive feedback. Much of it centres round the openess of the event and the involvement of other people. As one participant put it "The best part of the meeting was talking with people other than 'the usual suspects'."
It is clear that opening out events brings in a new perspective that would probably have been missed by involving only those who have the time to physically attend. Not only this but it helps those who are physically there to see in new ways too. Openess brings an element of serendipity, as Marcel Proust once said "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."
Transparency and Impact
One other aspect of openess that is probably worth mentioning here is transparency. The move to transparency is something that is being driven very much by the government and I think is, on the whole, felt to be desirable by those working in academia. It brings with it a whole set of issues (I'm sure much will be written on open data during this week) but it allows people (and by people I mean both the public and those working in academia) to see more clearly what they are for their buck. Not only this but much more emphasis will be put upon impact and value for money. Kirsty Pitkin wrote an interesting blog post earlier this year on How Do We Measure Engagement?. In the post Kirsty reflects on a different blog post by Ann Priestley presenting a graph from Socious who use the high peak of activity during an event and sharp tapering of this activity after the event as part of their argument to sell their product. As both explain: Their implication is that unless your event has a long tail of post-event activity, it is not as successful at long-term engagement. Kirsty says that her concern is that it is easy to confuse "activity" and "engagement". My concern is that you also need to add impact into the mix! As Kirsty concludes:
"There is no way to get a complete picture, any more than there's a way to judge the way a paper handout is used post-conference. The only difference is that no-one questions the value of the paper handout! "
Her summary highlights the difficulties that lay ahead when trying to measure these areas:
"How we define engagement and impact will affect the types of metrics we attempt to collect to demonstrate the success of an amplified event over time. However, accepting that engagement with the event will not necessarily lead to clearly definable, traceable digital objects may be the first step in rethinking not just how measure success, but what we are trying to achieve through the event in the first place."
There are many who say that open is always a good thing. I'd have to disagree, open raises a whole host of issues and many of them do not ultimately benefit the majority (I'm sure many of the positives and negatives will be explored in other posts during this week). That said open access to event amplification can be a positive thing and it brings with it a lot of pay back, so it will be a area that I will continue to explore.
One way in which I will be doing this is through my work on the Greening Events II Project funded by JISC Greening ICT Programme. We will be delviering a best practice report and guidelines on tools and approaches to event amplification.

Lindsey Graham: FBI didn't know Tsarnaev was in Russia because his name was misspelled
WASHINGTON — US Senator Lindsey Graham said this morning that the FBI told him it was initially unaware that Tamerlan Tsarnaev had traveled to Russia early last year because of a clerical error: His name was misspelled.
"He went over to Russia, but apparently, when he got on the Aeroflot plane, they misspelled his name,'' Graham, a South Carolina Republican said on Fox television this morning. "So it never went into the system that he actually went to Russia.''
Graham, a member of the Armed Services Committee, said in answer to a follow-up question that he did not know whether Tsarnaev, the 26-year-old terrorist suspect who died early Friday following a shootout with law enforcement, had misspelled his name on purpose.
The FBI "said Aeroflot gave us the information'' that Tsarnaev had traveled there, Graham said, though he did not specify when that occurred. Tsarnaev had been flagged to the FBI by Russian authorities in 2011.
He also did not say where the name was misspelled and why his passport and US Customs and Border Protection information did not make it into government records.
Follow-up questions to Graham's office were not immediately answered. The FBI could not be reached for comment immediately either.
There has been at least one other variant spelling of his family name. His uncle Ruslan, who lives in Maryland, spells the last name "Tsarni.''
Graham, who on Sunday strongly questioned the FBI's handling of a tip from Russian officials about Tsarnaev, said he spoke with the agency's deputy director Sunday night and is now satisfied with the response.
"Once the Russians made the request, the FBI did a good job at looking at him,'' Graham said.
He said the FBI interviewed Tsarnaev, his parents, and his schoolmates and did a thorough record search to see if anything came up. The agency found nothing and then wrote Russian authorities back to see if they had further information, but did not receive a response, Graham said.

Sega Europe boss Mike Hayes says Metacritic scores are indicative of certain games' success, and while score targets aren't written into every developer contract, Metacritic does have value — especially in judging expensive projects.
"We're a creative business, and how do you put objectivity into it? But at the end of the day publishers will always want to do that, particularly if you're spending $20 million — you have to try and find that objectivity, and it's going to come from how much it costs, when it's coming out, and how good the game is," Hayes told GamesIndustry.biz.
Further, "If you're going for a high-end PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 game and you want to break out in the genre, or something like that, you have to target that quality - because otherwise you don't have a hope in hell," Hayes said. "There's too much evidence that shows games which score below a certain level in certain genres are not going to cut through."
Hayes said that "we won't say to every developer we work with that there's a target in there." Which sounds like, for some developers, there is. And the size of the deal seems to be a factor in how much a Metacritic score means to the project.
"Where we're spending a lot of money, and the score is essential to the success of the product, absolutely I think there's a value in it," Hayes said, adding "I don't think it's unreasonable for publishers spending that much money to have certain expectations of quality levels. But to demand it on absolutely everything wouldn't be right at all."

A few months ago I was fortunate to hear from a 'new to me' cousin in Denmark kind enough to share a couple of generations worth of my family history with me, on my 'shortest' family line. I am one quarter Dane (maternal grandmother born in Denmark), so this was wonderful news, and I made a couple of posts, here and here.
Well, as the Internet would have it, another 'new to me' cousin, Trine, in Denmark, was surfing the web, as we all do from time to time, these days, it seems, and what does she find: "Nielsen home in Denmark" - my blog post. And her email says: That is the house my husband and children and I live in now!
Obviously, this started a new round of emails, exchanges of photos, and family history discussions. She also, early on, mentioned she had a uncle who had come to the USA about 1900 and really didn't know much about him… but she thought he had taken the name of Nelson when he came, rather than Nielsen that he had been born into. His given name was Christian, but from scans of postcards he had sent, it was clear he used Christ Nelson over here. To her, she thought of him as 'her rich American uncle!' - though he really wasn't, of course. So, my research began, with many false starts - that is a really common name, even restricted to one state! And, of course, it turned out to be the wrong state, as well! [I did actually locate him in the 1930 census, before I confirmed it was his family with Flemming, below - but there was much, much more to the story; much still unknown.]
Before long, she mentioned 'her cousin' who did the family history work in the family. We have now caught up with him, and many things become clearer… for each of us. Flemming, the cousin knew more about the 'rich American uncle' than Trine realized; she just hadn't asked. So, now, it turns out, I know 2 third-cousins in Denmark, and there are a 'flock of them' near St. Paul, Minnesota - that Flemming has visited. Small world, huh? Common great-great grandparents. By the way, Flemming did not realize that my great-grand mother (his great aunt) and my grandmother had emigrated to America, also, in the first decade of the 1900s, only a few years after their Christ Nelson. That was nice to be able to share with him.
So, for one more story. Christ Nelson was one of five brothers - who would have been first cousins of my grandmother, Dorothy Sorensen Kinnick. Here they are, in about 1896:
Sons of Morten (brother of my great-grandmother, Jensene Nielsen Sorensen):
Niels b. 19 May 1877
Peder b. 20 Sep 1878
M. Christian b. 14 Oct 1879
Marius b. 28 Mar 1881
Anders b. 1 Jun 1882
Christian - Marius
Niels - Peder
Finally, Flemming is in regular communication with Orla and Bente that I communicated with a few months ago, that got this cycle started. Much of their detailed family information actually came from him. Small world, all over again. And, it will continue.
Families are Forever! ;-)

Ted Nugent Calls Gun Owners The Next Rosa Parks
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
Washington Times columnist and National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent claimed that gun owners will be the next Rosa Parks if President Obama issues an executive order confiscating guns.
While Vice President Joe Biden has suggested that the White House could take executive action on guns, no one in the administration has said that such action would involve gun confiscation. The administration has reportedly previously considered executive action to ensure that more records of mental illness were included in the FBI's background check system.
During an interview with conspiracy clearinghouse WorldNetDaily, Nugent predicted that if an "actual confiscatory directive" came from Obama, then "heroes of the law enforcement will defy this order." Nonetheless, he worried that there were "enough soulless sheep within our government who would act on such an illegal order" and predicted peaceful resistance from "law-abiding gun owners," who would "be the Rosa Parks and we will sit down on the front seat of the bus":
"If it comes to the actual implementation of an actual confiscatory directive from our president, then I do believe that the heroes of the law enforcement will defy this order. I do believe that there are enough soulless sheep within our government who would act on such an illegal order but I believe the powers that be at the local, state, and regional law enforcement would halt such an illegal, anti-American order," said Nugent.
Nugent continued, "You are talking to a guy who talks to more gun owners in more heated and concerned conversations than anyone who lives. These are top notch heroes of law enforcement and military who understand this experiment in self-government and we will not let it [gun confiscation] happen, we will do it peaceful.
"But there will come a time when the gun owners of America, the law-abiding gun owners of America, will be the Rosa Parks and we will sit down on the front seat of the bus, case closed."
Nugent's comments are also being promoted by Fox Nation.
Last week, former NRA president Marion Hammer faced widespread criticism for claiming that a proposal by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to ban assault weapons was similar to racial discrimination. Hammer told NRA News that "banning people and things because of the way they look went out a long time ago. But here they are again. The color of a gun. The way it looks. It's just bad politics."
After news of a potential executive order on guns emerged on January 9, Matt Drudge highlighted the report with pictures of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.
