For Children with Autism, a New Possibility for Treatment
For children with autism, a new possibility for treatment
Leonora LaPeter Anton
Joy Falahee thought she knew how to play with her 2-year-old, Alexa.
There she was holding a plastic microphone, pretending to talk to Alexa. There she was offering a tiny zebra for Alexa to put in a brown plastic boat.
But when she looked back later at video of her and Alexa playing, Joy realized it was all wrong. Alexa barely looked at her. Alexa wanted nothing to do with her.
Alexa has autism. Joy, 32, received her daughter's diagnosis four months ago. Research says that by age 5, children's brains are mostly formed. Alexa's doctor told Joy and her husband, Tom, that they have only a few years to draw Alexa out.
She and Tom, a manager at CVS, have spent $70,000 to get her help. Occupational therapy. Physical therapy. Even horse therapy.
But recently they found another way to help Alexa, one that will require hours on a blanket with Alexa and a tub of toys.
• • •
Joy suspected autism early on. Alexa was 18 months old when she stopped saying ma-ma and da-da. She started screaming whenever they left the house. She refused to be touched.
Joy, a former opera singer and voice coach, sought out specialists and seminars. She realized that the symptoms of autism described Alexa. Children with autism sometimes don't talk or interact. They don't like to be touched or held. They have trouble understanding other people's feelings. They need lots of one-on-one therapy — up to 25 hours a week.
Joy and Tom, 34, enrolled Alexa in free federally funded child development services and took her to every therapy they could find. They moved from Tampa Palms to St. Petersburg to be closer to doctors and therapists at All Children's Hospital.
The traditional therapies were designed to help Alexa learn to talk, build upper-body strength, allow her parents to brush her teeth. They were built on positive reinforcement: If Alexa did what she was told, she got a reward.
But Joy knew one of Alexa's biggest challenges would be her ability to socialize. Her daughter never looked at people. She always played alone.
Was there a way to make her daughter at least give her a hug?
• • •
One day in March, Suzanne Tredo, an early interventionist with a background in autism, arrived at Joy's home in St. Petersburg.
Suzanne went up to Alexa, who was fitting animal-shaped pieces into slots in a wooden board. She picked up a piece and offered it to Alexa.
Alexa got up and walked away.
Later Suzanne tried again. Alexa ignored her. But then, for less than a second, Alexa's little blue eyes caught Suzanne's.
"You need to build a relationship with your daughter," she said. "To do that, you must get her to look you in the eye."
Joy thought about her interactions with Alexa, how fleeting they were. Unless she needed something, Alexa didn't care if Joy was there or not. Not one bit.
In the spring, Suzanne traveled to Ann Arbor, Mich., for a unique training in autism ...

A frequent reader of this blog just pointed me to the "Breathing Earth" website, from which I took the snapshot pasted above. The site takes data about countries' birth and death rates as well as carbon dioxide emissions and incorporates them into a single, interactive map of the world. Births and deaths show up as flashes on the world map, while the color of a country represents its carbon dioxide emissions.
What the snapshot above doesn't show is the interactive bit of the site, which allows you to mouse over a country to learn about its particular birth and death rate as well as its carbon dioxide emissions. Plus, it features a running tally in the lower left-hand corner that shows how many people have been born, how many died, and how much carbon dioxide has been emitted since you personally opened the web page.
Overall, this strikes me as a spiffy visualization, and my initial inclination is to see more data represented—perhaps not all at the same time, since I would hate to see the pleasant design marred by overcrowding, but maybe as options. In other words, it seems like a good template. One of the challenges of presenting only a few data elements is that it suggests a causal connection between them, whereas having a more generous set of options would allow the user to explore more on her own. In terms of the content actually presented, I'm a little confused by what the color of the country really means, since the caption reads variously "country has emitted over/less than 1000 tonnes of CO2" and "is currently emitting more than 1000 tonnes of CO2." The last statement is meaningless, since "currently" would require some rate of emission, not simply a quantity. So it seems that it could use a little more detail in the captioning.
(Then, on an utterly nitpicky note, the regular gridlines of the above image suggest a Mercator projection, but the layout of the geography looks more like the traditional Robinson projection. That annoys me, but I'm easily annoyed that way. For more on map projections, BTW, you can take a look at the "Geographer's Craft" page or the more detailed but less complete page at USGS. For the truly anal-retentive, check out Hans Havlicek's page for more information than most of us ever need on the topic.)
I actually took a very different approach to visualizing socio-economic data in an "art" piece I created as an interactive and for fulldome video. I dropped the map and put elements into a very abstract space, hoping to see patterns that could work on both an aesthetic and an intellectual level. Dunno if I succeeded, but I entitled it "Numerology 0.1," if that gives any sense of how I feel about it.

text: Polish artist Lukasz Patelczyk paints censored landscapes. The series, actually titled Censored Landscape, depicts natural scenes in severe blacks and whites. Portions of each landscape is hidden behind a white block. Some of the paintings titled variations of Avalanche and Tornado censor the effects of such natural disasters. The censorship leaves a monument like shape in the foreground of indifferent, even harsh landscapes.

Transcript from conversation in the Oval Office on September 11th, 2012:
AIDE: There has been an attack on a consulate in Benghazi.
OBAMA: Where's that?
AIDE: In Libya.
OBAMA: Where's that?
AIDE: The Middle East.
OBAMA: Where's that?
AIDE: To the east… but the center of stuff to the east.
OBAMA: I understand. So what happened?
AIDE: Well four Americans were killed, including an Ambassador.
OBAMA: Eh. Doesn't that happen all the time?
AIDE: Actually, no, sir, this is not a common occurrence. This is a very important and horrible incident.
OBAMA: It doesn't seem important. I mean, I got fundraisers and stuff to prepare for. I don't see why you're bothering me with this. Hey, Biden, do you think this is important?
BIDEN: Me want cookie!
OBAMA: Biden doesn't think it's important. Probably just Muslims getting angry at some silly thing. They get angry at stuff all the time. Like cartoons, TV shows, and drone strikes. Silly Muslims.
AIDE: Actually, sir, we already have information telling us– Uh… why is Biden laughing.
OBAMA: He just does that. Ignore him.
AIDE: As I was saying, we have information that this was a planned terrorist attack by an al Qaeda-affiliated group.
OBAMA: Al Qaeda? That's ridiculous. I killed bin Laden. You saw me kill him.
AIDE: Actually, it was a SEAL te–
OBAMA: I killed bin Laden. He dead. No more al Qaeda. Isn't that right, Biden?
BIDEN: Where my shoe?
OBAMA: Biden agrees with me. There is no al Qaeda because I killed bin Laden and am a good and smart president. Obviously this attack was just Muslims getting angry at some YouTube video or something. We'll announce that and vow to bring the maker of the YouTube video to justice. Don't you agree, Biden?
BIDEN: Shoe on head!
OBAMA: Biden is a foreign policy expert and he agrees. This is smart. I am smart president. Tell me I'm smart!
AIDE: You're very smart.
OBAMA: That's right.

The Army is denying they shot at the Muslim Brotherhood mob and the head of the Muslim Brotherhood is free to incite the crowds to action.
Those are not good signs.
One Islamofascist faction against another. Sounds like a power struggle to me. No matter who wins and who loses, Iran ultimately wins this one.
Sure am glad Zero sent those 100 M1 tanks
The Egyptian military is prepared for this. After seeing the HUGE outpouring and demonstrations against Morsi, they acted and are doing so with the backing of the people.
If Morsi's supporters and the Muslim Brotherhood push them...they will absolutely eradicate them. They will not play "footsies" with them or try to have ROEs that attempt to "make friends."
They know what is at stake, and saw where it was going. Morsi was supporting Al Quida and the Al Quida rebeles in Syria and Libya. He was closing ranks with Hamas and preparing for war with Israel.
The Egyptian military and most people in Egypt do not want to go there, and will not go there. They know what it is likely to mean. They will fight the Islamic extremists and Muslim Bortherhood in Egypt first, and eradicate them before they let that happen.
This is what we are seeing in Egypt...and it is likely that these Islamic extremists will push it to a fight...one they will lose becuase I do not believe the Egyptian military will fight with kid gloves or with one armed tied behind their back.
A strong, in your face, and abject example needs to be made of these radical terrorists and Egypt has the means, and I believe the will, to do so. I pray they do...and set Obama and his cohorts, abettors, and handlers back by decades and give us time to regroup here and show them all the door ourselves.
Only 3?? Shucks, oh well!! its a start.
By the way the reporter did not get superficial Buckshot wounds in the head and legs. Buckshot does not make superficial wounds. Bird shot does if you are far enough away.
There's something on breaking news.com that says:
"Clashes reported between pro- and anti-Morsi protesters near Tahrir Square in Cairo-@washington post"
4 mins ago.......
Don't EVER march on the officer's club.
Heavy pressure on the Egyptian military from the Obama regime to treat the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi with kid gloves.
Walid Shoebat surmises that Morsi was directly involved with Obama on the contrived attack on Benghazi as a rise to arrange a trade for the blind sheikh.
Well well, the media, who pretend to celebrate "democracy" in Egypt, seem to have a dog in this fight after all.
"Morsi supporters die"
Allah Akbar!
Finally some good news for a change.
As long as the taliban brotherhood is all bunched together like that, might as well...
I wonder where the reports are about anti-Morsi protesters being raped and/or killed by muzzies? Or is it not politically correct to report such things? Wouldn't want to confuse the readers with what the reporters want them to think, eh?
The Egyptian Army to save the country needs to kill every Islamofascist it can.
When the islamic mullahs took over Iran , those peaceful men of religion ordered thousands of Iranians murdered .
The Egyptian Army deposing crazed muslim leaders is good news;now if the Turkish Army would follow suit.
Overall the world was safer when a strong mostly secular leaders ruled Iran,Egypt,Libya,Iraq,Turkey,etc.Even Krazy Khaddafi was less of a threat than a Muslim Brotherhood Libya.
Religious and tribal fanatics in positions of power always cause great suffering and bloodshed.
By the way,I classify Marxist-Leninist Communism as a form of religion ,but where the Ideal State is worshipped along with its prophets.
I believe we have a Muslim Brotherhood sleeper agent occupying the American presidency.
Morsi supporters are looking for an excuse to gang rape more women, a demonstration here, a little march over there. They are bored.
Only 3 died? That's only 216 virgins... A paltry amount.
Are there degrees of savagery? Is this bunch better savages than the others? They both murder, rape, steal, yell and chop heads.
There is no way democracy can come to a country like that. The only thing that works is an iron-fisted dictatorship that keeps the savages from acting out all their savagery.
The MB is humiliating itself by being aggressive while only mustering 2,000 demonstrators.
In contrast, the protests to oust Morsi drew 22 Million protesters!
A few deaths from such a small demonstration will be dismissed out of hand by the Egyptian populace.
Egyptians don't have the Western mentality of "any death is a big deal."
Morsi supporters will be shot until protests end. Any leaders calling for protests will be hung by the neck until dead. The world does not want Islam. No negotiation.

WASHINGTON POST-WATCH: From Gaza: Exclude or Include?
The Washington Post
The N.Y. Times>
Call it A Tale of Four Stories - two from the January 16 edition of
The Washington Post
, two from the same day's
New York Times
, all related to Israel's battle against Hamas (the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement) in the Gaza Strip. Each newspaper covered the previous day's events with a news article and a separate news feature. For
readers, the devil wasn't in the details but rather the omissions. For
readers, the paper provided substantially more background and context.
The Post
was headlined "On Day of Heavy Fighting, Moves Toward Gaza Peace," written by the paper's Jerusalem bureau chief, Griff Witte, with contributions from special correspondents Samuel Sokol in Israel's capital and Islam Abdel Kareem in Gaza City.
, "Gaza Clan Finds One Haven After Another Ravaged in Attacks," was reported by Craig Whitlock and Reyam Abdel Kareem, both Post foreign service correspondents, the former filing from Jerusalem, the latter from Gaza City
The Times'
, "Israel Shells U.N. Site in Gaza, Drawing Fresh Condemnation," came from the paper's Isabel Kershner in Jerusalem." Its news
, "Israel Lets Reporters See Devastated Gaza Site and Image of a Confident Military," was written by Jerusalem bureau chief Ethan Bronner from the Gaza Strip. Israel had allowed 10 foreign reporters into the Strip, accompanying Israeli forces guarding the agricultural area of Atatra, from which Palestinian terrorists previously fired rockets into Israel.
Both papers' dispatches included diplomatic efforts for a cease-fire, Israeli shelling of United Nations Relief and Works Agency headquarters in Gaza, U.N. recriminations, and Israel's killing of Hamas "interior minister," Said Siam. Both papers quoted the same Israeli soldier, Sgt. Almog (the military prohibited use of last names). But
The Times'
articles, taken together, included much relevant information missing from
The Post
For example:
The Times
, On traps Hamas had prepared for Israeli forces: "The elaborate nature of the [Hamas-laid] snares impressed Colonel Herzi, but he and his men said they had grown increasingly less impressed with the Hamas fighters themselves. 'They are villagers with guns,' said Sergeant Almog, a gunner on an armored personnel carrier. 'They don't even aim when they shoot.'
"Seven members of his unit were wounded by a rocket propelled grenade attack on Wednesday, he said. But he added, 'We kept saying Hamas was a strong terror organization, but it was more easy that we thought it would be.'"
The Washington Post
reported only the soldier's remarks about Hamas: "In an interview, an Israeli sergeant, 20-year-old Alog, told the reporters that Hamas's resistance had been less than expected. 'They are villagers with guns. They don't even aim when they shoot,' said Almog, a gunner on an armored personnel carrier who was not allowed to give his last name. 'We kept saying Hamas was a strong terror organization, but it was more easy than we thought it would be.'"
The Times
news feature led with Israeli paratroopers guarding "their ground, a mix of ruins that once were handsome two-story houses and farm fields that had been turned into rocket-launching pads against Israel by Hamas." In addition to context regarding Israeli counter-terrorism in the Strip in previous decades, the article noted, unlike Post coverage, that despite "harsh censure abroad for their tactics," the Israeli army "feels serenely confident that it is doing the right thing ....
"'It is a very righteous war and has the full support of public opinion,' said Brig. Gen. Avi Ronzki, the military's chief rabbi, a West Bank settler who spends most of his time these days on the battlefield encouraging the troops .... 'Our army is showing the way to stop terrorists. And in order to win against terror we need to use a lot of force like the Americans are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan.'"
The Post's
news feature told of "the Abu Nihil clan, all 16 members, huddled on the living room floor of a friend's Gaza City apartment. All the windows were gone, shattered by explosions. Israeli helicopters churned overhead. But the family has decided this is as good a place as any to make its final stand."
Readers learned that family members "have seen three houses ravaged since Dec. 27, when Israel launched airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and began a war that has left civilians with no safe place to go." The "congested strip of coastal scrub land ... has absorbed a carpeting of bombs and shells for almost three weeks." The unfortunate family's plight is movingly described; U.N. officials blame Israel "for targeting civilians; the Israeli military has blamed Hamas for effectively using those same civilians as human shields."Insinuated is the false implication of "carpet bombing" - "a carpeting of bombs and shells for almost three weeks."
The Times
news story, "Israel Shells U.N. Site in Gaza, Drawing Fresh Condemnation" leads with the new strains on Israeli-U.N. relations. It notes that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert "justified the attack on the refugee agency [UNRWA] headquarters, saying that Hamas militants had fired at Israeli forces from within the compound. 'Surely,' said Mark Regev, a spokesman for Mr. Olmert, the refugee agency 'understands that Israel cannot give immunity to terrorists because they are working form within, or adjacent to, a United Nations compound.'
"United Nations officials vehemently denied the allegations .... Over many decades, Israel has questioned the neutrality of many of the organization's branches and complained of institutional bias. While both sides have been making efforts in recent years to work more constructively together, Thursday's incident served to pry open the divide .... Describing some of the abiding challenges, Israeli officials note that the same 21 anti-Israel resolutions are passed by an automatic majority in the General Assembly every year."
The Post
doesn't include Regev's expansion of Olmert's statement nor Israel complaints about U.N. neutrality.
* As for UNRWA itself,
The Times
reports that "the agency is often accused by critics in Israel and beyond of perpetuating the Palestinian refugee problem, being the only United Nations branch dedicated to a specific refugee population whose numbers, according to the agency's criteria, constantly grow."
On U.N. and international "outrage" at Israel,
The Times
also noted that "In Israel, there is parallel outrage that the world is not vociferously protesting how Hamas uses civilians and civilian institutions in Gaza as a shield. Yigal Palmor, an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman, went further, saying that most of the United Nations agency's staff in Gaza were local Palestinians and alleging that a 'large part are affiliated one way or another with Hamas.'"
Nothing in
The Post
of criticism of UNRWA for being part of the problem, not necessarily the solution or about Palmor's charge regarding UNRWA, its Palestinian staff and Hamas. But The Post did report UNRWA spokesman Christopher Gunness claim that Israel's "credibility is hanging in rags."
correspondents covered was newsworthy. So was the material reported by
The Times.
And so was what
The Times
included but
The Post
excluded, the absence of which contributes to a chronic problem on the paper's foreign desk: bias by omission.

Yesterday, Ashley of healthy ashley straight up DARED me to try something revolutionary by my standards: blend my Coffee Cocoa. So I did Basically, I used my regular recipe, added 1/2 cup of unsweetened chocolate milk and 6 ice cubes in a blender, flipped the "on" switch and voila!
These pictures look so indulgent – and it tasted that way, too! Next time I would probably add a bit more cocoa or some other sweet ingredient (simply because of my extra large sweet tooth!), but other than that I was very happy with my new creation. Thanks for the challenge, Ashley
Along with the Blended Coffee Cocoa, I had a bowl of cold cereal – 1/4 cup TJ's High Fiber O's, 1 cup Nature's Path Puffs and 1/2 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk, as usual;)
I topped the cereal with a sliced banana and a handful of a new trail mix from Trader Joe's.
This mix is called Anti-OXidant Nut & Berry. It has almonds and walnuts + dried blueberries, cranberries, raspberries and raisins.
Another winner from Trader Joe's!
I decided to try to go 3 for 3 today by trying out the last flavor in the Clif Mini box: Crunchy Peanut Butter! I was feeling good about this one given my love for PB!
Turns out my instincts were right – another winner! I enjoyed every bite, and think this one might even be my favorite. I'm going to take this research and apply it to the big Clif bars now, using all of YOUR lovely suggestions of course:)
I especially like the way these bars stay so moist. Although I think Julz of SIMPLE and DIVINE would agree that leaving it out to harden a bit is really the best way to go about it!
The bar held me over a little longer than usual today. Finally around 1:00 pm, I was ready for my juicy peach!
Then I whipped out a new find from the grocery store last weekend.
I absolutely love tomato soup, and this seemed like a good way to enjoy it at work! There are two servings per container, but since it was lower in sodium than a lot of soups are (300mg per serving), I just ate both servings as my lunch! All you have to do it heat it in the microwave for roughly 2 minutes – easy peasy!
It tasted good, too. I wouldn't have minded a slightly thicker consistency, though. Next time, I'll bring things to add to it to make it a more well-rounded meal.
We chose to eat at a "new" restaurant that I've walked by many times before but have never actually eaten at called That Little Mexican Cafe. Yes, that's actually its name;)
I was feeling a little adventurous, so I ordered a margarita with my mom.
We started out by ordering some guacamole. Little did we know that a woman would soon be coming over to our table with a cart full of ingredients to make the guacamole FRESH for us. Doesn't get much better than that (right Liz?!):mrgreen:
Here's my portion with some tortilla chips. The lime juice really made this guacamole the best I've ever had. Next time I buy it, I may add some extra lime juice – it gives it a good kick!
For dinner, I ordered the black bean soup. It came drizzled with some sour cream, which I thought looked pretty but tasted just alright (I'm not a big sour cream fan).
I also ordered the Mexican Fire salad, which basically meant mixed greens, carrots, and some spicy red, green and poblano peppers. It was tossed with a cilantro dressing and topped with a little bit of cheese.
It was by far the lightest entree I have EVER ordered at a Mexican restaurant, and I really felt much better afterward. I think all the cheese in some dishes really bothers my stomach, so I'm glad I went this route instead.
After dinner, I went to the gym and did 30 minutes on the Stairmaster + an arm machine workout. Now it's about that time where I get into bed and fall fast asleep…ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZz
Sweet dreams

This blog has a subtitle: Reflections on Education, Technology and Learning
My other less-frequently used blog, 'Practic-All', is subtitled, Pragmatic tools and ideas for the classroom. Recently I started using this other blog to provide a digital addition to my Principal's weekly e-mail update. I did 9 of these to end the year off. I called them Dave's Digital Magic, (or school teams are the Magicians). Recently I've done some thinking about education, technology and learning on my Practic-All blog and so I thought I'd share it here too.
I tried to provide within each 'digital magic' a few links including some that promoted web2.0 tools, some that were fun, some that were for different curricular areas… and some that made you think. I put these 'thinking links' into a category called, THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMMMMM… and I ended each post with one of these.
This was a rather passive way to attempt some influence on my staff. I know some of them ignored the link to my Digital Magic, at least a couple of the staff were very regular visitors, and others waited to hear about something useful before venturing to a link or two. We are talking about tiny ripples rather than tidal waves… but, in keeping with the water theme, even the greatest waterfall begins with a single drop.
So now I put a challenge out to you!
Create your own ripples. Pick one of the nine THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMMMMM… and share it with your staff. Or create your own (and please share it with me as well as others).
a) Feel like reading?

How Not to Talk to Your Kids: The Inverse Power of Praise.
A Feature in the The New York Times, By Po Bronson. I will let the article speak for itself:
Later, when given a much more difficult test, these results were magnified. It really is worth reading the whole article, but here is a key point about the research above:
More food for thought from the article:
In a nutshell, praise effort rather than intelligence. The article goes on to mention the value this has on developing persistence when faced with failure, while praising intelligence increases the stress and reduces the desire to face such challenges. I will be thinking about this a lot over the next few days both at school with my students and at home with my own kids. – – – – – Po Bronson's blog, "How Not to Talk to Your Kids" Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. From Part 4:
"A common praise technique that people use (I know I did it with my tutoring kids… up til a few weeks ago, that is….) is to use a present success to control future performance. For example, if a typically-sloppy child writes an essay that's atypically legible, a parent or teacher may say, "That's very neat: you should write all of your papers like this." Even if it's meant as sincere praise and encouragement, the research shows that's not only an ineffective way to praise. In fact, like praising for intelligence – it can actually damage a child's performance. Here's what is going on…"

Clarence Fisher, a brilliant Canadian teacher and blogger, wrote this short paper (4 easy-to-read pages), Changing Literacies (PDF).
Being literate is so much more than being able to understand a written text on a piece of paper.
Here is a quote from his section on Access,
"Fast forward to our society and the ability we now have to drown ourselves in
cheap, disposable information from books, television, the internet, radio,
magazines, video, etc. In our time, one of the major skills of being literate is
the ability to access texts in many different forms from many different sources.
Importantly, it is not about searching for texts, it's about finding them."
In this article, Clarence describes why I became a 'technology guy'. Actually, I don't really care about technology… I just see how these tools, like wiki's, can engage students in meaningful ways, where they create and share what they have learned in new, interesting ways.

NOTE ON THE USE OF THIS RUBRIC: [Check out the link before reading this!]
"Habits of Mind are the characteristics of what intelligent people do when they are confronted with problems, the resolution(s) to which are not immediately apparent. These behaviors are seldom performed in isolation. Rather, clusters of such behaviors are drawn forth and employed in various situations."
(Arthur L. Costa and Bena Kallick: 16 Habits of Mind) The purpose of a rubric when assessing student work is to provide benchmarks of achievement based on these habits which allow a student to understand their current level of mastery and discipline in order to set goals for future drafts, assessments, or marking periods. For as long as possible we will refrain from discussing grades, per se, and focus our discussion on achievement and progress. As long as a student continues to set goals, reflect and evaluate their work and habits, set new goals and modify their work, habits and effort accordingly, they will realize increasing success and achievement as the year progresses. Thus, rather than penalizing a student who begins the year as a believer and ends the year with nothing compared to them by averaging a lower earlier grade with a later higher one, the student is evaluated according to mastery and achievement as demonstrated by their ability and mastery by the end of the year. However, a student who may begin the year with the drive and motivation to knock on heaven's door, but who then slacks off, loses focus and discipline and ends up wondering what they did to deserve this, will not be boosted from a D to a C because first quarter was strong when it is not reflective of the ability or master he or she consistently demonstrated.
Could you use this rubric or parts of it?
How important are these 'Habits of the Mind'?
What does this rubric look at compared to what our report cards look at?
Do you 'average' previous terms or give 'snapshots' of where students are now?

Academe's Dirty Little Secret
This blog post is written by Darren Kuropatwa, a brilliant high school Math teacher.
Here is an excerpt:
"You can require your students to demonstrate their understanding of what they are learning by having them apply their knowledge analyzing and evaluating relevant novel situations or problems. Better yet, get them to create content that educates an interested learner and they will automatically incorporate all those levels of engagement while they make their learning sticky. I don't need to tell you that there's nothing like having to teach a thing to make you really learn it.
Darren walks the talk! His students will go home and spend hours helping to teach others, when it is there turn to scribe the class notes and post them on a blog for the other students in their class. You can see this in his Scribe Hall of Fame… or if you aren't into Math, just check out the link to the article.

Video's are a great teaching tool! One way to start collecting them is to sign up for a free YouTube account. When you are signed in, and you find a video you like, just click 'Favorite' and you can collect videos there. Then from any computer you can sign in and find all your favorites.
You can also make Playlists, which lets you create video players, like the one seen on this wiki.
I like this because you can show a number of videos without students seeing the comments under the videos (which can sometimes be very inappropriate for classrooms). You can also use playlists to separate your favorites for different uses.
Start with the simple task of signing up for a free YouTube account, and then I'll be glad to help you.

The purpose of homework…
Is homework an effective practice?
What is it intended to accomplish for student learning?
How do you use it effectively?
How do you deal with homework that isn't done? Is this the same as others on your team?
What feedback have you had from students? Parents?
What I've read recently to get me thinking about homework:
Rethinking Homework by Alfie Kohn
What do you think?

The Three E's
That brings me to the third E, "Empowerment".
In this approach students are part of the system itself. They participate in decisions about what is taught, what they would like to learn, and what strategies and tools they would like to use in the learning process. Some may decide to work more independently, some in groups; but they are part of the process of deciding what goes on in their own learning.
I attempted something like this with my ScienceAlive Wiki. I reflected on the project and how I would improve on it here: Wikis in the classroom: a reflection.
As we head into June, what can we do to help students leave our school feeling like they are empowered learners?

Teaching gifted students compared to teaching every student.
No link for this one, instead, here is a reflection Kari did on having a SHARP, gifted cluster, in her class this year. I thought this was very insightful and also thought about just how much this applied to every student, not just gifted ones!
Top 10 Lessons I Learned Being Involved in SHARP
1. Different is Good: Strategies for differentiation help all students be successful: Gifted, LD, ESL, Non-Categorized.
2. Free Birds Soar: Given the freedom to choose how to present their learning, Gifted students will surpass your, and their own, expectations.
3. Stimulation is Mandatory: Gifted students need to be challenged constantly, or else boredom sets in.
4. Knives and Spoons: Gifted students are not necessarily "gifted" in all areas of the curriculum.
5. Fun and Games: Gifted students are still typical kids- they need to have fun and be accepted by their peers.
6. Be Comfortable with Uncertainty: Gifted students ask lots of questions, but it's okay if you, the teacher, don't have all the answers.
7. Stars Are Part of a Larger Constellation: Gifted students need to be recognized for their uniqueness, but still fit in with the rest of the class.
8. Heads May Butt: Your cluster may not always get along or work well together all the time!
9. A Watered Flower Grows: Being involved in SHARP helps you to evolve as a teacher.
10. Hear Me Vent and Brag: Having conversations with other SHARP teachers is valuable and gratifying.
Thanks for your words of wisdom Kari Hotell!

About the Machon
Machon Shilo is a centre of Jewish learning in Jerusalem dedicated to the exposition and dissemination of Torath Eress Yisrael, the Judaism of the Land of Israel, headed by Rabbi David Bar-Hayim.
Rabbi Bar-Hayim defines his vision as "laying the groundwork for a restatement and reconstitution of Jewish thought and practice, based on the Written Law and the Oral Tradition (Tora ShebiKhtav and Tora SheBa'al Pe), in order to facilitate the realization of the Jewish nation's divinely mandated purpose and duty to establish "a nation of priests, a holy people" (Exodus 19:6).
The crucial issue of our day is the reconstitution of the Jewish Nation. In order for the Jewish people to realize its true potential and destiny and live up to HASHEM's expectations of His people, it is crucial that we cease to define ourselves as Hungarian, Russian, Polish, Moroccan, Tunisian or Yemenite Jews...and begin to see ourselves simply as Jews. Or more precisely: as Jews privileged to dwell in our ancestral homeland in which we aspire to live according to a full and authentic expression of Tora.
Rather than relying exclusively on the traditions of Rabbinical authorities in the Exile who studied and lived Judaism within the historical context of a minority residing in a foreign land under non-Jewish sovereignty, Machon Shilo encourages the study and implementation of the traditions and rulings found in the ancient sources of Land of Israel such as the Talmud Yerushalmi (Jerusalem or Palestinian Talmud), compiled in Tiberias in the 4-5th centuries, rather than the Talmud Bavli, compiled by rabbinic authorities in Babylon some 200 years later.
One aspect of this approach is the reintroduction of Nusah Eress Yisrael, the format of prayer and liturgy used by the Jews of the Land of Israel from time immemorial and up until the first Crusade (1096-1099), at which time most of the Jewish population of the Land of Israel was either massacred or fled the country. This historic calamity sealed the fate of Torath Eress Yisrael, with the result that by the 12th century the Halakhic rulings, customs and liturgy of the Babylonian Jews had become the norm throughout the Jewish world.
There is a qualitative difference between the study and practice of Judaism in Eress Yisrael as opposed to the Galuth (Exile), a fact stressed in several Talmudic sources. What is needed at this juncture of history is a reconstituted Halachic Judaism which is in step with and complements the modern reality of the sovereign Jewish people living in their ancestral land.
There is no such thing as Judaism without a Halakhic system at its base; Judaism only exists today because of the system put into place 2500 thousand years ago by Hazal (the foundational rabbinic authorities). From this perspective, both Reform and Conservative Judaism are flawed concepts from the outset. The former because it was founded on a rejection of Halakha as a basis for religious practice, and the latter because its underlying motivation was to facilitate social integration into the diasporic milieu. Conservative Judaism allowed itself to pick and choose Halakhic positions and to accept certain values and societal norms that were deemed expedient for a Jew in the Diaspora.
However Orthodox Judaism too is flawed; it was by definition a response to the rise of Reform Judaism in the early 19th century. Responding to the Reform movement's complete disregard for traditional practice and established religious jurisprudence, the new and reactionary "Orthodox Judaism" (a previously unknown term) adopted an extreme and opposite approach, viz. that the Ashkenazi Jewish practice which had evolved in Europe till that time should be enshrined, denying the possibility of any change whatever, even where such change is mandated by the Tora itself.
This is not and never was the intent of Halachic Judaism. The rabbinical authorities of the past, Hazal, the G'onim and the Rishonim, always understood the need and were willing to take stock of the realities of the present, to allow changes for the better. They were always redefining and reinventing certain elements of Halakhah, even changing well-established practices to suit the different circumstances and needs of the Jewish people in their times.
Now, with the creation of the State of Israel as a homeland for the Jewish people and a territory under its political sovereignty, there is a need for just such an adaptation. Rav Avraham Yitzchak Kook, the first chief rabbi of the State of Israel, understood this concept well, arguing that a reformulated and updated Halakhic system must be put in place in Eress Yisrael.
This as a means to become more Jewish and more able to connect to Torah in Eretz Yisrael in the present historical context." This need may not be pressing for those Jews who still live in the Galuth, but it is absolutely necessary for those who have returned to their Land.
Beth HaWa'adh Machon Shilo (Beth Din)In response to the need for piskei halacha (religious rulings) on the pressing issues of our day, Machon Shilo has formed a Beth Din (religious court), to provide concrete halachic guidance for the application of Torath Erets Yisrael as part of the authentic Jewish lifestyle for Bnei Erets Yisrael (Jews living in the Land of Israel).
The Beth Din, Beth HaWa'ad Machon Shilo is composed of true masters of Torah and Jewish law and includes:
- Rav Davidh Bar-Hayim of Jerusalem, Av Beth Din (President)
- Rav Yehoshua Buch of Jerusalem
- Rav Chaim Wasserman of Jerusalem
If you would like to consult with the Beth Din, please contact JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING .
About Rav Bar-Hayim

Daily Topic for June 23, 2007
Because of the humble obedience of Jesus, the Father exalted Him. Jesus did not humble Himself that He might be exalted, but in order that man might be redeemed through His death. How human it is for us to seek ways to become great, even at personal sacrifice and pain. Yet the ones God exalts are those who have given up personal ambition and pride because they have understood His heart and will. If our Master had to humble Himself and learn obedience in order to redeem men, so His disciples also must humble themselves in obedience in order to reveal His glory and goodness.
Pray for Christ-like humility on your part, and the part of your church.
"'Comfort, comfort my people,' says your God . . ." Isaiah 40:1 (NLT).
The Cham people of Cambodia and Vietnam have had a long and difficult history. Cambodia thrived until 1969 when civil war broke out and plunged the populace into turmoil. Hundreds of thousands died under the communist Khmer Rouge. To this day, there are incessant coups and the people live in fear.
The remaining Cham people (about 315,000) survive by boat building, farming, fishing, and light commerce. Fighting and war, both between Cham communities and between Chams and the Vietnamese, have all but ended the agricultural economy. Today their villages are extremely poor and constructed in an impermanent way.
Their most ancient religious beliefs, going back to the second century AD, were in a mother goddess. During the third and fourth centuries, they slowly converted to Hinduism, specifically worshipping the gods Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. Beginning in the 15th century they gradually converted to Islam. Only a few dozen Chams have been reached with the gospel. There are no known churches and no Cham Bibles.Learn more at joshuaproject.net
Pray for avenues to open up for the gospel to reach the Chams. Pray that a Cham church would come into being.-JR

The Surya Nepal Asha Social Entrepreneurship Award (SNASEA) 2012, which began the search for social entrepreneurs in Nepal in August, announced its winners yesterday.
Five social entrepreneurs were selected as recipients of the award.
Shanti Shakya Dolma, Kakani Himalayan Natural Dyes, reduces the negative impact created by artificial dyes and trains women to prepare natural dyes from locally sourced raw materials, which allows them to gain financial independence and reduces episodes of domestic violence.
Chiranjeevi Paudel, Seeing Hands Clinics, empowers the visually impaired through job creation.
Bishal Dhakal, Health at Home, creates easy access to healthcare.
Prachanda Shakya, Nepal Traditional Handicraft Training Centre, preserves traditional art through a training artisans.
Jasmaya Pun, Hampaal Allo Tatha Kapada Bunai Udhyog, trains and employs women in sewing products using local waste from the forests.
The winners were selected from a pool of over 80 applicants. Other than a cash prize of NPR 100,000, winners will receive networking opportunities from ChangeFusion Nepal.
The SNASEA aims to recognize, celebrate, and showcase social entrepreneurs and their impact to put them on the map and inspire others.
In addition, three social entrepreneurs were recognized as "Hidden Heroes" for over ten years of contribution and dedication to their communities. They include Govinda Ghimire of Alternative Herbal, Tara Baskota of Shangri-La Agro World, and Som Prasad Gauchan of Everest Tea Estate.
A special "National Business Initiative (NBI) Agent of Change" recognition was given to four businesses that support, develop, and promote startups and entrepreneurship in Nepal. These may include those who provide access to finance, education and training, logistical assistance, or visibility. The businesses recognized were Himalayan Naturals, Lotus Holdings, Women Support Saving and Credit Cooperative Society, and Brihat Investments.
Luna Shrestha Thakur, director of ChangeFusion Nepal, commented on the event this year compared to the previous. "We are glad that we have been able to make applicants understand about the eligibility of the award as all the applicants were deserving, unlike last year when very few understood the concept of social entrepreneurship," she said.
The SNASEA also included a 3-day bazaar in October where social entrepreneurs from Nepal gathered with customers, investors, and mentors.

Ground Zeroes: Did We Really Need An Intro To Phantom Pain?
I just can't get past this question.
As much as I respect Hideo Kojima, and while I'm convinced that Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will be excellent, I'm having trouble with this "introduction" explanation.
I mean, I know Ground Zeroes will be great; I'm not buying that I'll finish it in only two hours, and those who have seen and played it have absolutely raved about its amazing quality.
I'm not questioning that. Nor am I questioning the eventual mastery of The Phantom Pain, because that's how much faith I have in Kojima and Co. But this idea of releasing a prelude to the full game, charging between $20 and $40 (depending on platform and format), and saying it's to help "ease veterans players into a new era of MGS"...it's just hard to swallow. For the record, price isn't my hang-up; I maintain that a fantastic experience is a fantastic experience. I only care about the quality. But I simply don't understand that explanation.
"Ease in" players? Why? What's wrong with an elongated tutorial at the start of the full game, if necessary? I understand that fans have been playing MGS for a very long time, and MGSV will be the first title in the series that plays very, very differently. Well...so what? You know, those gamers have been playing other games in between MGS installments, and they've been playing titles that probably have a very similar structure to MGSV. We're not novices in the realm of open-world exploration, and having more freedom and choice is a very common trend in the industry today.
Therefore, I can't understand why anyone would ever need a separate prelude. I have no choice but to cry foul on this "introduction," just based on a lame explanation that doesn't appear to hold an ounce of water.

I think some people forgot that next-gen games (real next-gen games, not remakes or high-res last gen games) were going to cost companies more money to develop.
That is something that some companies have discussed openly. Like Capcom. They are looking at ways to try and fund these next-gen projects without them ending in the red. In the case of Capcom, they're looking into making mobile games and hoping they'll be able to produce more smash hits like 'Smurf Village'. Hits that could help them fund some next-gen console games.
This "intro" to Phantom Pain is just a sneaky way of charging players around $95+ dlls for a next-gen game.

If you can get your hands on this months GameInformer Magazine, the combined Ground Zero & Phantom Pain's stories are actually it's cover story, with 20 pages devoted to Kojima & the 2 upcoming games.
I just got it myself so I haven't read it yet, but I'm willing to bet some of your questions might be somewhat answered in there.
BTW, not sure where you're located, but here in the US, all GameStops will have this months GameInformer Magazine for sale right now.

More than 2 discs on xbox 360 then konami has to cough up cashola to MS.
The phantom pain has got the next MGO so maybe 2 discs aint enough for the whole package....but 1 blu ray is.

This is the slippery slope for gaming, not DLC and an all digital world. Selling drawn out tutorials for nearly full game price is what gamers need to watch out for.

I'd say they were also motivated by money in some way. In any case, GZ as a stand-alone release does seem silly.
Monday, February 24, 2014 @ 4:20:19 AM
Also, I don't know about you, but I am paying under half the recommended retail price for this. Had this game been released at the full retail price, yes I would be mighty huffy but the price for this title is right as far as I am concerned.
I honestly don't mind paying for it under these circumstances. As we're not going to get The Phantom Pain until 2015, it will be nice to play Ground Zeroes earlier to get a taste for what the game will have to offer.
Of course it works in the context of the story, as the Events of Ground Zeroes & The Phantom Pain have 9 years set between them so this separation can work - If anything I see this as a farewell to Peace Walker. However, I don't want to see this again in a Metal Gear Solid 6, should that ever happen.

But I agree -- this whole "prologue" business is nuts. They are giving is a slice of the full game early to ease development costs. This game is going to be huge, Konami could REALLY use an influx of cash these days, and MGS is by far the biggest brand they have left. I'm not mad at them for that, and I definitely plan on playing this day 1. But what I'm NOT buying is the "ease in veteran players" excuse. This is about cash -- plain and simple.

1. Re: Need Help for installing Oracle VM and Oracle Linux 5.7Erik Janssen-Oracle Mar 12, 2013 12:03 PM (in response to 995411)Oracle VM is a server based virtualisation solution. It would be suitable if you want to build a virtualised environment for many servers. This typical deployment scenario would be a consolidation of many servers into a single (or perhaps) a few servers. Oracle VM will run on the native hardware, no operating system needed.
Virtualbox is aimed at desktop users who need a virtualised environment for e.g. testing purposes. It is not aimed at large production volumes where multiple users access the environment. Virtualbox will run on top of a native operating system. I reckon that you are looking for this virtualisation tool.

DARIEN, Conn. (WTNH) – Darien police used DNA testing to find a woman who's accused of leaving cocaine-laced needles at an elementary school playground.
Anne Curtis, 32, turned herself in to police this morning. It was back in May, when a half-dozen syringes and needles were found outside of Holmes Elementary School at 18 Hoyt St. "Curtis lives in close proximity to the school," police said.
Police say DNA tests linked the needles to Curtis, whose information was already in the police system for prior arrests. She's in Stamford Superior Court today, and faces felony charges of three counts of risk of onjury to a minor.

TV Guide has a synopsis for episode 3.14, "Chuck vs. the Honeymooners", which airs at 8/7c on April 26:
An adventure awaits Chuck and Sarah in Europe when they encounter Spanish spies on a train. Although lacking any backup, it's full steam ahead for the couple when they try to derail the spies' agenda. And an odd-couple spy team emerges: Casey and Morgan, who set out to help Chuck and Sarah.
NBC should be releasing their synopsis soon, which might give us a tiny bit more information. Sounds like a fun episode!
Updated 4:40PM: NBC just released their official synopsis which gives us a few more clues:
Chuck AND Sarah GO ON A EUROPEAN ADVENTURE – While in Europe, Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) and Chuck (Zachary Levi) realize they're traveling on a train with Spanish spies. Even though they're all alone, they decide to take on these rogue agents. Of course, this impromptu mission doesn't go smoothly. Meanwhile, Beckman (Bonita Friedericy) orders her newest "unlikely†spy team – John Casey (Adam Baldwin) and Morgan Grimes (Joshua Gomez) – to track down the missing couple. Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Scott Krinsky and Vik Sahay also star.

Responsible vs. Accountable
Though widely accepted as synonyms, responsible and accountable are two distinct feelings and serve two distinct purposes. The confusion may be one reason why more and more people are showing up irresponsible and unaccountable.
Accountable = Account – Able
An account is an objective list of something. In the context of this article, the list includes your available options in a given situation (whether you see them all or not) as well as a list of the tangible results connected to each option (whether you understand or acknowledge them all or not.)
Account-Able Is
- Being able to recognize all your options
- Being able to understand and acknowledge the consequences of those options
Responsible = Response – Able
A response is an answer to something. In the context of this article, the answers include your knowledge (what you've learned formally or informally) as well as the ways in which you make decisions (knee-jerk or thoughtful.)
Response-Able Is
- Being able to face a situation as it unfolds
- Being able to use your wisdom to choose the best answer
24/7 Accountability
You are accountable all the time whether you think you are or want to be. You are because you have to live with whatever happens to you–it is your life, right? If you profit from excellent investment advice, your future gets a bit more secure. If you're hoodwinked by a used car salesman, the lemon you bought sits in your driveway—complaining or blaming won't change anything.
Reactions are rooted in the past
Confusion arises around the distinction between response and react–again most people use these words interchangeably and it causes misunderstandings.
Reactions are reflexive and automatic; something has triggered your habitual patterns of thought (attitude) and your body (words and actions) get going accordingly. Attitudes and habits are formed by repetition and become so familiar that your conscious mind isn't really involved any longer. By definition, habits are formed by past experience, past thoughts, and past actions. The word's Latin origin even means "done again." Whenever you are reacting to something, you are not considering the present circumstances and you're acting without your conscious mind. A pretty important thing to know considering that your conscious mind is where will-power resides and choices are made.
Responses, on the other hand, are based on the present moment. To respond is to utilize knowledge and experience, as well as future goals, desires, resources, risk, and consequences in formulating your list of options (accounting). With all this pertinent information available, the best choice (answer) becomes obvious. When your thoughts and feelings are rooted in the present moment—versus the past—you are truly able to respond to the present moment's opportunities. Otherwise, knee-jerk reactions leave you scratching your head wondering why things went wrong, again, or why you just can't seem to get ahead.
The ultimate outcome
I think most parents want to teach their kids how to make good decisions and to be able to face the consequences of the decisions they've made; the words we use, i.e., responsible or accountable, are all trying to describe this ultimate outcome. So, how do we do that? It starts with you—you must practice accounting and responding first so that you fully understand the difficulties and rewards. Once you've got it, your actions demonstrate the meaning of your intentions to your kids. They learn the most from you by watching you in action.
So, how do you become responsible?
First, unhook from the past.
- Observe how your actions are triggered.
Second, look back on a few poor choices you've made.
- What were some of the options you didn't see at the time?
- Were you feeling pressure or afraid of something?
- Were you trying to avoid making a mistake?
Third, look back on a few better choices you've made.
- What were the circumstances in which you were able to choose well?
- Did you have time to think?
- Was your choice based on a goal?
Most people naturally begin to pay attention more and make better choices quickly. It's cool how awareness makes so many things fall into place easily.
With an understanding about the distinction between responsible and accountable, perhaps you'll have a different conversation with your kids; one that starts with accountability that elicits responsibility. Please let me know how it goes for you.

With the election of a new, moderate president, questions remain over the future of Iran's foreign policy and the country's nuclear intentions. While President Rohani campaigned on a reformist platform, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Kahmenei has directed national security and foreign policy decisions in the past and there is no indication this might change. Whoever holds the reigns, the relationship between Iran and the US is complicated, with questions centering on how the US should respond to Iran's nuclear program. Are the current sanctions effective? Should the US consider a military option?
Kenneth Pollack, a former CIA analyst, will explore Iran's nuclear capabilities, the complex US-Iranian relationship and potential options for US policymakers.

Match each of the following with the correct statement.
A. The series is absolutely convergent.
C. The series converges, but is not absolutely convergent.
D. The series diverges.
Can someone please help me?
there are numerous ways to test converge of sums of infinite series, however the most common of which is to use the ratio test,
Ratio Test :
Given an infinite sum of the form
S = sum (a(n), n = 0..inf)
then if L < 1, the series converges, L > 1 the series diverges and finally if L = 1 the test fails and nothing can be stated (by the Ratio test) about its convergence,
L = lim (n--> inf) |a(n+1)/a(n)|
As an example I will do one of your questions where
a(n) = (-1)^n * (1/n)*(1/ln(n+3))
then a(n+1) = (-1)^(n+1) * (1/(n+1))*(1/ln(n + 4))
a(n+1)/a(n) = (-1)^(n+1) * (1/(n+1))*(1/ln(n + 4)) / ((-1)^n * (1/n)*(1/ln(n+3)))
= (-1)*(n/(n+1))*(ln(n+3)/ln(n+5))
|a(n+1)/a(n)| = (n/(n+1))*(ln(n+3)/ln(n+5))
we now need to evaluate the limit,
L = lim (n --> inf) (n/(n+1))*(ln(n+3)/ln(n+5))
note it is easily observed that lim (n--> inf) (n/(n+1)) = 1 then L becomes
L = lim (n --> inf) ln(n+3)/ln(n+5)
= infinity/infinity
Hence employ L'hopitals Rule
L = lim (n--> inf) d/dn (ln(n+3))/ d/dn (ln(n+5))
L = lim (n--> inf) (1/(n+3))/(1/(n+5))
L = lim (n--> inf) (n+5)/(n+3) = 5/3 > 1
Thus the series diverges.
Hope this was informative and I didnt go overboard with the description.
ps - forgot to mention that for something to be absolutely convergent then the sum( |a(n)| , n = 0..inf ) must converge, in order to determine this, simply take the absolute value of the integrand of summation a(n) and apply the Ratio test as prescribed.

Having > the OS tell me 'ECANNOTMAKESYMLINKBECAUSEOFPOSIX' at that stage > would have made me extremely pissed. Excuse me if I'm missing something, but I've worked in "bored undergraduate" environments too. And I've had to use /tmp for the same reasons. But typically, I'll do something like: cd /tmp; tar xzf emacs-19.29.tar.gz which would work, because everything goes into the directory "emacs-19.29", which is *not* a sticky bit directory, and which *I* own anyway. Or, I'll do something like: cd /tmp; mkdir lon; cd lon; tar xf ... I don't like to put a big mess into the top level of /tmp anyway, so other than a few miscellaneous files, I work in subdirectories that *I* own. Making this a requirement when you need symlinks in the top-level of your project root doesn't seem like a big deal to me... > Sure, I can hard link to a file I don't own, but if *I* hard link > to a file I *do* own I'd want to be able to remove it. Re-read what I wrote: you would be able to. What I think you shouldn't be able to do is hard link to a file you *don't* own, because then you can't remove it (go try it). > Maybe change the semantics so that a user can't hard link or sym > link to a file they don't own in a sticky dir if you really must > keep this 'ownerless' concept. For hard links, that's what I suggested. For symlinks, you don't want its target to matter (discussed elsewhere on this thread), so they would be forbidden altogether. If you must have one, make yourself a subdir and put it in that. > However, I think that ditching the new semantics is a good idea, > UNLESS someone actually comes up with a reasonable reason why > they're needed (e.g, some braindead OS with potential POSIX > aspirations can't handle the traditional format of symlinks...) The real reason to use the POSIX semantics is to avoid having to make tar/cpio/every-other-archiver understand symlink ownership; and to avoid having to implement "lchown" and l-every-other-inode-manipulating-syscall, and then having to make NFS deal with them. And then you'll still have problems with older NFS servers that don't give you "lchown" or don't support it in their underlying FS. Again, perhaps I've missed something in this thread, but I don't see what having symlink ownership buys you that is worth the extra complexity that must be added to every program that attempts to grok the filesystem. The only real reason I've heard is disk quotas. But since giving someone write access to a file or directory you own (sticky-bit or not) automatically lets them do some things that count against your quota and not theirs, I don't see this as significant. Assuming non-malicious behaviour, how many symlinks are created in directories other by its owner? Not many, I'll bet. And, as I've mentioned, malicious behaviour is possible anyway, regardless of the way symlinks are handled. To me, the KISS principle seems to dictate that the POSIX semantics are a good thing. And yes, the sticky bit hack needs a little more work, but I think that it does anyway (i.e. I don't think you should be allowed to hard link files you don't own into a sticky-bit accessed directory). --Lon Willett email@example.com

'My wife has issues with my muse'
Dear Diana, I'm a Mumbai-based artist and I travel a lot for exhibition-related purposes.
My wife is a teacher and she is not at all interested in my art. We've been married for seven years. Though she's supportive of my profession, she doesn't approve of my muse who also happens to be my protégé. We often end up having heated arguments on topics with this girl in the centre. I've tried my best to explain to her that we're not having an affair or such but she's just happy letting her imagination run wild. How to explain?
— Puneet
Dear Puneet,
Your wife obviously is not artistically inclined at all. I can understand your predicament. As you spend a lot of time with your muse, she feels threatened. But you need to tell her that you have not hidden anything about this girl from her. So she need not worry. Creative folk like artists and filmmakers have muses which feature in all their works. If she still does not feel at peace, suggest that when she is on vacation to accompany you on such trips. She will then realise that during art shows things are so hectic that there is no time to play.
Diana will solve it!
Write to Diana at firstname.lastname@example.com, or fax her on 24150009. You can also post letters to Dear Diana, Mid Day, Peninsula Centre, Dr S S Rao Road, opp Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, Parel, Mumbai 400012

Original Post: Phil Rosenberg, reCareered.com
Yes to each and every one of those possibilities of where cool jobs are. Sure, some jobs are hidden, but most are out there. Cool jobs are everywhere but take different strategies to find them, depending on where they are found.
The first question to consider is what's a cool job? Is it cutting edge, flexible, telecommuting, career enhancing, educational opportunities, feel good, close to home, great benefits, great pay, great boss, socially conscious, environmentally conscious, stable, executive?
Everyone has a different definition on what a cool job is, because different employees have different needs. So before you can find a cool job, you have to define what your personal cool job looks like.
After you define it, recognize that your cool job could be found most anywhere. A balanced approach to find your cool job works best.
1. Job Boards: Consider using up to 5 job boards. SimplyHired is a terrific aggregator of job boards, scraping information from 7K boards, company websites, and submissions. SimplyHired will include jobs found on CareerBuilder, Monster, Dice, and Craig's list among many others. Regional job boards are a good place to focus in on only local jobs. Job boards from your industry association are more likely to have needs that your specific subject matter expertise can solve. Job boards covering your job function are other places that seek your expertise, and a good way to change industries. See 'The Top 30 Job Boards For 2010' at http://recareered.blogspot.com/2010/02/top-30-job-boards-for-2010.html for more details.
2. Social Networks: Network, Network, Network. Update your network that you're in active networking mode and offer to help connect others. Don't blast spam just to ask everyone for a job. Instead, pay it forward and offer to help. You'll be amazed how many offer to help in return when you make your network 'Strong like bull' http://recareered.blogspot.com/2010/07/make-your-network-links-strong-like.html.
3. In person networking: Work these, and not just the industry events. Most large cities have general networking events. Again, use a pay it forward approach to find ways to help others and build Emotional Equity. Read more about how to get many times the results over the way most people selfishly just ask 'You know anyone who's hiring?' at http://recareered.blogspot.com/2010/07/achieve-enlightenment-through.html.
4. Alumni networks: Call or email your alumni office. Get lists, get listed on job boards. Call and invite everyone for coffee. You'll have a caffeine buzz for weeks. Don't ask for a job, ask to learn more about what made someone a success at their company – people love to brag about themselves. Dig deeper to learn about goals, issues, roadblocks and problems at their company – problems that you can solve. Talk about how you are in networking mode, and ask how you can help…paying it forward works with alumni also. Read more about successful informational interview strategies at http://recareered.blogspot.com/2010/08/bringing-your-resume-to-informational.html.
5. Recruiters: Work with the right recruiters. Work with a recruiter that is honest, who's company has lots of listings in your field. Work with senior recruiters who know their stuff. Offer help to the recruiter, with the best recruiter currency you have. Knowledge, leads, jobs, networking, other candidates….these are all recruiter currency. To learn more about how to maximize a recruiters effectiveness for you, see http://recareered.blogspot.com/2010/03/inside-track-on-recruiters-top-10-tips.html.
Cool jobs lie everywhere….
Readers, please share – Where are you looking for yours?

It is certainly good news to tourism operators and the nation in general as the government is striving to reform the sector, which is one of two leading foreign exchange earners and a key provider of trade and job opportunities.
A committee of six people under the Rector of the College of African Wildlife Management, Mweka, Prof Jafari Kidegesho is currently working on how best to merge the institutions into a single entity in order to cut operational costs and enhance efficiency.
It is discussing with the stakeholders to find out the best way to execute the plan adopted following outpouring of negative sentiments from the industry that the multitude of bodies were harming the industries and therefore counterproductive to efforts to promote the sector.
With Tanzania National Park (TANAPA), Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA), Tanzania Wildlife Authority (TAWA) and Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI)-all involved in wildlife conservation, there has been an outcry from tourism stakeholders that these bodies were doing more harm than good, because they constrain the sector through imposition of multiple taxes and levies that discourage investors, particularly small investors.
TANAPA is supposedly to be merged with TAWA, the Tanzania Wildlife Authority and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority to streamline operations and more directly control their activities and bring all anti-poaching operations under one roof.
The tourism sector plays a significant role in the Tanzanian economy. According to the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) the direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to the economy was 2.975bn/-or 5.1 percent of total GDP in 2014.
It is certain that as we move towards middle-income status, tourism can be leveraged to promote faster economic growth, add additional productive jobs, and provide more fiscal revenues and foreign exchange earnings.
It is on this vein that we hail the government for initiating the move and hope and pray it becomes successful.
