Big educational laptop and tablet projects -- Ten countries to learn from
[also available in Thai]
Recent headlines from places as diverse as Kenya ("6,000 primary schools picked for free laptop project") and California ("Los Angeles plans to give 640,000 students free iPads") are just two announcements among many which highlight the increasing speed and scale by which portable computing devices (laptops, tablets) are being rolled out in school systems all over the world. Based on costs alone -- and the costs can be very large! -- such headlines suggest that discussions of technology use in schools are starting to become much more central to educational policies and planning processes in scores of countries, rich and poor, across all continents.
Are these sorts of projects good ideas? It depends. The devil is often in the details (and the cost-benefit analysis), I find. Whether or not they are good ideas, there is no denying that they are occurring, for better and/or for worse, in greater frequency, and in greater amounts. More practically, then:
What do we know about what works,
and what doesn't (and how?, and why?)
when planning for and implementing such projects,
what the related costs and benefits might be,
and where might we look as we try to find answers to such questions?

The Environmental Protection Agency has awarded Lockheed Martin a seven-year, $145 million contract to support its Environmental Response Team with technical and analytical expertise during environmental emergencies in the U.S. and U.S. territories.
Under the Scientific, Engineering, Response & Analytical Services (SERAS) Program, Lockheed Martin will provide the EPA's Environmental Response Team with 24-hour support during environmental emergencies, quickly assessing the situation, making suggestions for containment and assisting with remediation activities. Such emergencies could include national and international incidents involving releases of oil and hazardous materials and uncontrolled hazardous waste sites.
Lockheed Martin has supported EPA in its emergency response mission through a predecessor program, the Response Engineering and Analytical Contract (REAC), which the company was awarded in 1999 and again in 2004.
"When an emergency happens, quick response is built on a foundation of teamwork and trust, especially during trying conditions," said Lynn Singleton, director of Environmental Services in the corporation's Information Systems and Global Services business area. "Lockheed Martin is extremely proud to have been selected to continue as the EPA's teammate in working to safeguard our environment."
As the Environmental Response Team's main support contractor, Lockheed Martin supplies a highly-skilled staff of chemists, biologists, engineers, geologists, environmental scientists and support personnel. This staff will perform field work, onsite monitoring and analysis, and field or laboratory analytical support. Supporting Lockheed Martin's team are Syracuse Research Corporation, Cherokee CRC, LLC, Dycon Government Solutions, Inc., and The ACI Group.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported 2008 sales of $42.7 billion.

Bronnie sometimes acts like she doesn't want to get petted. She sits by herself in a pretty satin pillow outside, blonde fur glinting red and gold in the sun, a warm smell of corn chips around her, as dog paws are fritos-like when heat is applied to them. She's standoffish, a little bit cold, a little bit old, incapable of becoming the puppy battering ram of need that the Chihuahua is when being deprived of slavish attention.
If you want to pet bronnie, you have to seek her out. She doesn't beg for it with a whine or with her eyes. She stays in her corner, but inside, I know, she waits.
Because as soon as you pet her, she practically falls apart. Her eyes roll back in deep gratitude, and she takes in a huge breath like she's breathing you in, and you feel the two cool jets of air coming out of her snout, little streaming thank yous. Her dog heart is beating fast and wanting the moment to never end, and she will gently hold your hands in between her strong front legs, with worn and dusty paws. She will lean on you will all her body weight and crush her soft head into yours and show you how happy she is and glad she is and it is the best of her and she wants you to never forget.

Jenny started teaching neighborhood kids while she was in high school and has continued to inspire her students throughout her academic studies. She strives to make every lesson different, tailored to individual student's needs, whether he or she is a beginning toddler or in need of advanced technique.
Jenny has always had a passion for the performing arts. During her years at USC, she discovered Latin dancing. She has performed, choreographed, and taught for USC's Latin dance team Break On 2 and is still involved. She has participated and performed at numerous salsa and bachata festivals/congresses.
*** Lesson Details ***
As a teacher, I try to make music learning as fun and well-rounded as possible. Every student is unique, and I try my best to accommodate every individual's needs. I encourage students to always ask questions, no matter how silly it might sound, and to trust me to help you achieve your goals. I encourage students to tell me their favorite songs and genre of music and use the knowledge to help keep them motivated, to remind them that learning is fun.
For all ages and levels, I prefer to incorporate music theory as part of the learning process. It allows the student to see the how and why, to not only feel music but also understand it. If your goal is primarily playing oriented, I will, of course, adjust my teaching style to fit your needs.
I learn something new from every student, love seeing my students improve and gain confidence in themselves. I ask that students come with an open mind and be prepared to make mistakes because no piece is perfect and neither are lessons. Lessons give you the opportunity to make mistakes without judgement. You can trust me to always have a positive attitude, it is OK to make mistakes, but practice to play better, and enjoy the feedback to see yourself improve! Learning piano does not happen in a few lessons and is a lifelong rewarding process. I hope to see you treat music with respect, so let's make beautiful music together!
I also provide choreography for wedding dances (couples, father/daughter). My main focus is on the social aspect of Latin dancing, such as salsa, bachata, merengue, and cha cha. Thus, I will only take students who are able to go out dancing to studios, restaurants, and clubs, meaning 18+ individuals or groups. Every week, I will provide new, cool, and stimulating choreography that supplements technique while developing your own unique style. I love to see my students out on the dance floor, implementing moves learned and having fun! Dancing is a healthy, joyful activity. Get ready for a confidence boost and let's get your heart pumping!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Music - Upright piano and teaching/practice materials.
Dance - Music playing device, carpet.
*** Travel Equipment ***
Music - Student should have a keyboard or piano and practice related materials. Dance - Ladies should have secure, comfortable heels. Gentlemen should wear non-rubber soled shoes. Preferably wood or laminate floor. Carpet is ok but will have a harder time developing technique. Also should have some sort of stereo or speaker system, a computer is OK if it is loud.
*** Specialties ***
Piano: All Ages and All Levels. Classically trained. Encourage students to incorporate favorite songs/genres of music be it rock, pop, jazz, etc.
Dance: Wedding dances and Latin styles for social dancing, such as salsa, bachata, merengue, & cha-cha. Personal choreography based on routine moves augmented by current trends.
Tutoring: elementary to middle school subjects. study skills, hw help.

*** Lesson Details ***
I do my absolute best to create a positive atmosphere for my students. Even when the students feel frustrated or stressed, it is important to inspire them and give them the fuel that they need. Though I am strict when it comes to homework and their about their studies. Every lesson at the beginning I will review what we learned previously and test them.
then begin with proper breathing technique exercises, the cornerstone of all vocals. We move on to vocal exercises to condition the voice. Then we work on the songs that you are eager to sing!
I will use a piano when doing vocal warm ups and conditioning exercises. Students that play other instruments and accompany themselves when performing (such as a guitar) are encouraged to bring that instrument to their lessons. My goal is for them to gain the knowledge that they need to help reach their artistic goals.
With all my lessons every student will be taught a basic run down of Music Theory. My students will always progress in what they do. They will have the discipline that they need and yet have fun and be filled with inspiration. Which is the most important thing, to be Inspired to do better.
*** Studio Equipment ***
iMac, condensing mic...performing mic, keyboard, mixer...living room of apartment.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I do have a portable keyboard. Though I do expect the student to have their own recording device and karaoke tracks. At Home I do have a studio, and if the students has an iPod or an Mp3 player I can attach it to a device where all of us can hear the tracks. I do have a recording studio as well.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in Musical Theatre, and Pop rock genres. When I teach my students I always have them learn a song of another language whether it's Spanish or Japanese. It helps with diction when they learn a song outside the English Language. Also It helps them to learn another Language at the same time. Also I give them a little anatomy class when they are learning how to sing. I give them a model of the vocal Chords and different areas of the Larynx and which part works for the chest voice and the head voice.

Crystal believes that music is serious business but that it should be fun. She encourages her students to play music they love, as well as expanding their musical knowledge. She is a firm believer in basics first and emphasizes theory and technique as the tools to support creativity and provide freedom, power and control. She believes effort beats talent every time and the student who practices consistently will see results, whatever their level of ability. Most of all, she believes we were all born to make music.

Lesson structure varies depending on the student's instrument, age, level of experience and musical style. However, all lessons focus on:
Music theory
Performance style
After 3 or 6 months of consistent lesson attendance and practice, students will have a clear understanding of how their instrument works and how to care for it. They will be able to read basic music notation. They will be working toward clearly defined musical goals and they will have at least three performance pieces learned.

Crystal has increased my daughterâs self-esteem and expressiveness through song. My daughter is now writing her own poetry and song lyrics, as well as being able to combat her once shyness quality. She loves to perform in front of others now and has a confidence level that amazes me, especially now that she is going into those âteenâ years. I think a lot of thanks needs to go to Crystal, for assisting my daughter in reaching her current creative level!

Dr. Cliff believes that, although many professors and teachers do an admirable job in the classroom, many students and children do not learn well in traditional institutions. Many students and children don't respond to the assembly line nature of most institutions. He believes that a student's or child's strengths and natural abilities need to be the foundation of learning. Dr. Cliff often warns against a "cookie cutter" approach to educating students, teenagers and children. You or your child is seen as an individual, and natural strengths are identified and built upon. Therefore, individual one-on-one tutoring or help is the key approach to each student who has any challenges difficulties in a given subject.
In today's environment and economic challenges, with shorter budgets for the education, larger classes sizes and pressure of performing well in all kind of standard tests, I often see many students lacking true knowledge and skills in a given subject, since they cannot get individualized attention during the class session. That's where a tutor comes into the picture, not only uncover major "holes" in students' knowledge set but also teach students how to study, how to learn and through proper guidance "fill" those knowledge and skills holes.

I've had a book published and have written for a multi-national newspaper. I also got A grades right up until I finished college with English Literature and Creative Writing. I also have done numerous public speaking engagements and have studied acting and theatre with A grades all the way through college.
My style of teaching is very relaxed and informal, I want students to feel they can be equals with me, and gain confidence and be proud of their work. I set homework but I also encourage students to get creative in their own time and to show initiative! Reading is vital to growing your knowledge and also for confidence and speaking in public.
Lessons can involve looking at literature and different styles of writing, as well as finding something that sparks the imagination and interest. I work especially well with young teens and pre-teens, as well as those who are looking to further their reading skills.
I also look at Shakespeare and modern plays, as well as screenplays, ...

I have been teaching and tutoring for over five years, and my goal is to help students gain understanding of the problems they solve: I do not teach them simply how to solve problems, but why those problems can be solved in those particular ways. I want to enable students to become problem solvers who think logically and creatively.
About Wes
My students can expect to learn to think well about the subject we study together. We will not simply pursue the knowledge of how to, for example, solve some math problem, but we will also seek to understand why we can solve it this or that way. So, we will pursue both knowledge and understanding. When students have understanding, they are much better prepared to apply what they have learned to oth

Illinois 2011 NanoBiophotonics Summer School: Dr. Naash - Research
Published on
Dr. Muna Naash, University of Oklahoma Professor, Department of Cell Biology Director, Graduate Program
EDUCATION Ph.D., Biochemistry/Cell Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas
RESEARCH SUMMARY The goal of our program is to advance our current compacted DNA nanoparticle based gene therapy technology to enable efficient and long-lasting gene delivery to dividing and non-dividing cells. The program merges experts with molecular bioengineering, physics, chemistry, and computer science backgrounds at OUHSC, Stanford University and Copernicus Therapeutics, Inc, to accelerate essential preclinical steps for effective non-viral gene therapy. We have filed two patents for the application of this technology in ocular diseases and have shown in our recent publication the efficacy of this technology in transfecting ocular tissues (Farjo, et al, 2006). Our goal is to engineer DNA vectors with efficient uptake and transport through the plasma membrane (PM) that can provide persistent transgene expression without toxicity. This technology can unimolecularly compact DNA with lysine polymers substituted with polyethylene glycol (PEG) into neutral charge nanoparticles with radii of less than 8 nm. These particles can penetrate the cell membrane via nucleolin receptor associated endocytosis and cross the nuclear membrane pore to the nucleus within 15 minutes. The DNA condensation formulation can compact linear or circular DNA and RNA which enabling us to eliminate plasmid backbone sequences known to play a significant role in inhibiting gene expression. The potential scientific and clinical benefits of these enhancements are substantial.

With the certainty of a dry spring looming, there are several things corn growers can do to better manage their crops for the weather ahead, says David Wright, University of Florida Extension agronomist.
Forecasters are pretty much in agreement that the La Niña weather phenomenon will continue through early spring for the lower Southeast, says Wright, meaning warm, dry conditions that'll be reminiscent of those seen in 2011.
Ironically, the data shows that corn producers with irrigation make higher yields during a La Niña phase, he adds. "In an El Niño, corn yields are usually below normal if you've got irrigation. You normally don't see the record corn yields like we saw in 2011. However, if you are not an irrigated grower, that is not the case.
"Throughout north Florida, Georgia and Alabama, with irrigation, we usually have higher corn yields during a La Niña weather pattern.
"But we still have large amounts of non-irrigated corn in the U.S., especially when you get into the northern parts of the states, and I'm not sure this always would be the case," says Wright.
Compared to last year at this time, drought severity in the lower Southeast is much worse, he says. "A lot of our winter crops look okay, as far as wheat and winter grazing, but many people have been working in swamps and cleaning out ponds because there is no water.
"A lot of irrigation wells dried up this past year. In south Georgia and north Florida, we're in an extreme drought situation now.
"We're in a long-term drought situation, along with parts of Texas and Oklahoma. That means more than six months of drought. We actually came out of 2010 about 20 inches below normal in rainfall.
"We came out of 2011, at least in the Florida Panhandle, at about 30 inches below normal. So we're a total of about 50 inches below normal in rainfall."
Most corn in the lower Southeast is planted in February or March, says Wright, which places the main pollination period in May.
"During this period last year, we were in a severe drought across north Florida, southern Georgia, southern Alabama and on out into Texas. So we had to do a lot of irrigation during this time period if we wanted to make adequate corn yields."
Some growers made more than adequate yields in 2011, says Wright.
"In Georgia, we saw about 350 bushels per acre, and the second highest corn yield in the U.S. was made by a Georgia grower.
"We had irrigated growers around the Live Oak, Fla., area in deep sand, with 500 to 700 acres, who averaged 275 bushels per acre. That's unheard of for that part of the country, but it happened."
Some of the factors behind these high yields were high photosynthesis and low plant disease, he says.
"We didn't have to worry about fertilizer leaching because we didn't have enough rain. But we did have more potential for aflatoxin, with the hot, dry weather."
Steps for success
In anticipation of warmer and drier conditions, there are several things corn growers can do to manage for good yields, says Wright.
Killing cover crops early will help, he says.
"In many cases, I've seen non-irrigated farmers let cover crops grow late, and by the time they start planting, there's no moisture to get the crop up.
"Some growers utilize heavy cover crops, and that's one way to conserve moisture and prevent weeds, except for volunteer peanuts, which seem to come up through anything.
"A heavy mulch can delay the need for an irrigation by a day, sometimes two days, which can make a significant impact on water use throughout the year."
Heavy mulches also help to increase organic matter, says Wright. When following pasturelands, organic matter is quite a bit higher, and it will hold moisture and nutrients.
He also advises that growers split their pivots among crops.
"Corn generally has higher water requirements earlier in the season than other crops, such as cotton and peanuts. If you know your wells are limited in the amount of water they'll produce, put half of it in a crop that requires water at a different time. You can cut off the water for a time."
Also, says Wright, plant fields based on electrical conductivity.
"Research in cotton has shown that as the electrical conductivity is increased, this usually means the soils are heavier or at least have higher water-holding capacity, and this can make a difference. Some of our soils may hold as much a 2 inches of water."
Another suggestion, he says, is banding fertilizers at planting whether it's dry or liquid. "Be very careful about putting anything in-furrow. Banding works especially well in sandy soils."
Growers also should consider following winter grazing wherever possible, says Wright.
"We have data that has shown cattle do compact the top 6 inches of the soil, but as you go down into the soil profile — 3 feet deep — there was a tremendous increase in the root mass where cattle had grazed."
If you have nematodes in your fields, use nematicides, he says. In fields where grass crops can be grown, you can have higher levels of nematodes that definitely will impact yield.
"Controlling other pests is also important. Plant something after corn harvest to keep down weeds," he advises.
Drought-tolerant hybrids also will help, as will adjusting plant populations, says Wright.
"We have made 200-bushel corn with 12,000 plants per acre. If you know you're going to be in stress situations, it's better to be at 26,000 than 36,000.
"If you are shooting for those high yields and you have the irrigation capability, look at some of the higher populations. Usually, plant population is not the main yield-limiting factor. It's usually drought, fertility and other things."
Ripping under the row also has proven to be very beneficial, especially in stress situations, he says.
"As you go through the season, you'll usually get behind on irrigation at some point, and this can make a tremendous difference, but rip early."
Growers with irrigation also might consider a second crop, says Wright.
"If you have irrigation, it allows you to plant a second crop, and we've had growers who made 280-bushel corn followed by 34 or 40-bushel soybeans. If you're timely, it can work."
If you're in a non-irrigated situation, he says, plant later.

INDIANAPOLIS -- After Leslie Frazier spoke with reporters Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine, I had a chance to catch the Minnesota Vikings coach for a one-on-one interview. We chatted about wide receiver Percy Harvin's status.
ATL: Obviously, Harvin's become a big storyline for this team. He's perceived as disgruntled. What's really going on?
LF: I think it's more media-driven. You don't hear anything from me or (general manager) Rick Spielman from a negative standpoint, I think it's more media-driven, I really do.
ATL: So your perception is that Percy wants to play for the Vikings next season?
LF: That's my perception. I'm hoping that it works out that he will be, but you read so many different things, and I sometimes wonder, where's that coming from? Because in my conversations with him, I'm not getting that.
ATL: If a team came to you and blew you away with a trade offer, would you listen?
LF: I think what Rick said is what you want to be able to go with, the fact that he said there's no intent to trade Percy. And that's pretty much where it is.
ATL: Let's say a team offered their No. 1 pick, for instance. Is there a way someone could sway your thinking?
LF: You never want to get into hypotheticals in this business.
ATL: So your relationship with Percy is pretty good?
LF: Oh, yeah.

Matt 18:15, "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector."
Despite common teachings on this verse, pagans and tax collectors were not cast out of the church. They were treated as outcasts by Pharisees, yes. But, by Christians, they were viewed differently. Jesus ate with pagans and tax collectors, to better convey to them the message of the gospel. This verse is not talking about an act of disassociation. It's referring to a change of mindset: viewing these brothers and sisters as people to be won over! People to love, even more fervently! It implies a call to forgive them, and begin to view them differently, approaching them with the same patience, love, and carefulness you'd approach a nonbeliever. Almost as if we are to "start over" in our relationships with them.
Luke 23:34, "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots." Jesus said this, even though they continued to humiliate Him.
The letter from my concerned reader (mentioned in "Addendum") has inspired me! I've approached FOF as directly as possible. According to Scripture, my next step would be to approach them with the testimony of two or three others. If you know of a good, lovingly explained testimony of how Dobson's teachings have negatively affected a family, please post the link(s) below in comments. I will choose two or three of them to include in a new letter to FOF.
[In an upcoming post, I do wish to explore how we can apply the above Biblical principles to our duty as parents.]

Cash-strapped consumers might have revenue injections sitting in their closets, under their bed or scattered throughout their house.

Whether it's an old necklace from an ex-boyfriend or outgrown children's clothes, selling unwanted or unused goods can help boost your bottom line heading into the holidays.
There are different markets to sell your goods depending on what you are looking to off load: You can host a yard sale, sell online or use a third-party vendor like a thrift store.
"The best way to get the most money is probably the most annoying: sell different items in different ways," says Meg Favreau, senior editor of frugal living blog WiseBread.com.
If you are looking to sell furniture or other large items, Favreau recommends listing them on local websites like Craigslist to avoid paying shipping costs.
Ebay and other online marketplaces are the best places to sell collectibles, antiques or very specific items, while used toys, books and housewares are ideal things to sell at a garage sale. Favreau recommends bundling like items together such as toys for the same age group, or books, at a garage sale to increase selling.
To sell used clothing in good shape check out the local consignment shop.
According to Austin Allgaier, co-founder of yardsalesearch.com on average people make $400 to $500 at yard sales and $1,000 to $2,000 selling items online. But you have to work to bring in significant cash—take a thorough look around the house for items and be reasonable about your prices.
Figuring out where to sell is half the battle, setting the right price is the other. Experts recommend following this rule of thumb when pricing goods: sell them for 25% to 50% of their cost at brand new. There is one caveat, according to Alltaier: clothing. He says clothing typically sells for 10% to 30% of the retail value.
Another way to price your belongings is to do a quick online price comparison. Since yard sales are all about haggling, Favreau suggests pricing 20% to 50% higher than what you are aiming to get to satisfy both parties. She also says to know the lowest price you are willing to sell every item for so you're not pressured to give it away at a lower price.
Selling your goods online or at a yard sale is also going to require a little marketing. Allgaier recommends posting multiple clear pictures and detailed descriptions for any goods being sold online. "Pictures increase the likelihood you'll be contacted by a factor of 2.6," he says. "If a buyer has to ask a lot of questions they are less likely to contact the seller."
To promote a yard sale, experts says good old fashion signs directing people to your house and listing your garage sale in online directories and on Facebook should do the trick. At YardSaleSearch.com you can list your sale as well as search for ones in your area. Allgaier says there's a certain group of people that are looking for specific things and will turn to the Internet to search for yard sales, so it helps to be as specific as possible when listing items for sale. In fact, he says yard sale postings online is doubling year after year.
To increase traffic, consider enlisting the neighbors to hold a multi-house yard sale. "It's really effective if it can be part of a larger community yard sale," says Favreau. "It's more interesting to people if there's more stuff for sale in one place."

Swallowing problems
Cancer and its treatments can sometimes cause trouble with swallowing. If you're having problems swallowing, try eating soft or liquid foods. You may be able to swallow thick fluids more easily than thin liquids. If you're unable to eat enough regular foods to meet your nutritional needs, drink high-calorie and high-protein liquids.
Your doctor may refer you to a speech therapist. This is an expert health professional who can teach you how to swallow better and how to decrease coughing and choking when you eat and drink.
What to do
- Follow your speech therapist's instructions for any special eating techniques.
- Call your cancer care team right away if you cough or choke while eating, especially if you have developed a fever.
- Eat small, frequent meals.
- Use canned liquid nutritional supplements if you're unable to eat enough food to meet your needs.
- Chop or puree your food in a blender or food processor.
- Drink 6 to 8 cups of fluid each day, and thicken the fluid to the consistency that's easiest for you to swallow.
- If thin liquids are recommended for you, try these: coffee, tea, soft drinks, liquid nutritional supplements, Italian ice, sherbet, broth, and thin cream-based soups.
- If thick liquids are recommended for you, try these: buttermilk, eggnog, milk shakes, yogurt shakes, and ice cream.
Try these thickening products:
Gelatin: Use to help soften cakes, cookies, crackers, sandwiches, pureed fruits, and other cold food. Mix 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin in 2 cups hot liquid until dissolved; pour over food. Allow food to sit until saturated.
Tapioca, flour, and cornstarch: Use to thicken liquids. Note that these must be cooked before using.
Commercial thickeners: Follow label instructions, and use to adjust a liquid's thickness.
Pureed vegetables and instant potatoes: Use in soups. Note that these change the food's flavor.
Baby rice cereal: Use to make a very thick product.
What to eat when you have trouble swallowing (puréed and thick-liquid diet)+
|Puréed thick-liquid diet
|Mechanical soft diet
Thickened milk, yogurt without fruit, cottage cheese, sour cream
Soft-scrambled eggs
Puréed meat, poultry, and fish
Milk, yogurt, cheeses, sour cream
All eggs
Ground meats and ground-meat casseroles, fish, sandwiches made with ground meats or spreads
|Breads, cereals, pasta, and rice
Slurry^ of cooked cereals like Cream of Wheat and Cream of Rice
Soft breads
Graham crackers, cookies
Soft cold cereals in milk
Pancakes, waffles
Pasta, rice
|Fruits and vegetables
Puréed fruit and vegetables without seeds and skins
Mashed potatoes
Canned fruit
Soft, well-cooked, or puréed vegetables
|Drinks, desserts, and other foods
Thickened juices and nectars
Thick milk shakes
Thickened broths and cream soups
Custards, puddings
Slurried^ cakes and cookies
Syrups, honey, butter, margarine
Spices as tolerated
All beverages
Soft desserts that don't require much chewing (like ice cream, sherbet, flavored gelatin, pudding, custard), soft cakes and cookies
Syrups, honey, butter, margarine
^A slurry is a thin paste of water and cereal or flour that can be stirred into hot preparations as a thickener. A slurry on top of bread or cake makes it moist and easier to swallow.

It is illegal for employers to base hiring and firing decisions on a person's age. Explicit discrimination can be tricky to prove, however, and age can have subtler effects on someone's career -- perhaps even more so if they work in IT.
Ageism in IT isn't a new story, but it typically doesn't travel beyond the confines of Silicon Valley and its youthful startup culture. Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, for instance, told the audience at a 2007 Y Combinator Startup School event: "I want to stress the importance of being young and technical. Young people are just smarter." Zuckerberg's now a wizened 28-year-old, which also happens to be the average age of Facebook employees, according to a recent study. The average age of Google's workforce is 29.
The IT profession, though, extends well beyond the Silicon Valley and the technology industry at large. So does ageism.
Gary Huckabone, who lives in the Detroit area, has been programming since the 80s, when he toiled with the likes of Digital Equipment Corp's VAX/VMS. Later, he moved into UNIX and Oracle database work. Today, Huckabone's focused on .NET desktop applications and ASP.NET Web apps. He currently works for an agency that contracts with one of the Big Three automakers.
[The cybersecurity industry is growing fast. Here's how to land a job, even if you don't have direct experience: Looking For A Security Job? You Don't Need To Be Bo Derek.]
"I am an old guy," Huckabone, 56, said in an interview. The IT veteran isn't a complainer, nor has he ever been part of any actual age discrimination claims. He doesn't lack confidence, either -- "I'm good at what I do," Huckabone said -- but he has become increasingly aware of how employers may perceive his age.
Prior to his current gig, Huckabone worked for a Detroit firm that had hired him because of his experience, not in spite of it. "The other six developers were basically fresh out of college," Huckabone said. "They hired me as someone who had some gray hair and had been around the block a few times."
Huckabone discovered, though, that the firm expected 60-hour workweeks to be business as usual for the development team. Unlike startups offering equity stakes or established companies with attractive incentive plans, there was no upside to the long hours. "I've worked plenty of 50- and 60-hour weeks, but there's got to be some kind of reward," Huckabone said. "You can't just keep doing that and get nothing in return." Unlike his younger coworkers, Huckabone voiced his concerns; according to him, things came to a head when he asked for an afternoon off and was told no. He was later fired from the position.
Back on the job market, Huckabone was upbeat -- he saw a thriving software sector and plenty of opportunities. But he found it took longer than expected to land his next gig. "I probably did twice as many interviews -- this is a guess, of course -- than I would have done if I was 32 instead of 56, " Huckabone said. "You never know [if age is a factor], because obviously no one's going to tell you and a lot of it is probably subconscious. I think a lot of people are just uncomfortable talking to a guy who has confidence. I'm not out there all nervous and begging for job. It's a 'this is what I do, I'm good at it, take it or leave it' kind of attitude."
It wasn't the first time Huckabone wondered whether his age was an employment factor. In 2010, he'd been contacted about a potential position with Google. At the time, Huckabone trimmed his resume for brevity. "I had lopped off probably my first 10 years, just to keep the resume a little quicker read. I wasn't trying to hide my age. [I was] just trying to keep it to more recent experience. Nobody really cares about my VAX VMS stuff back in 1988, quite frankly," he said.
After a phone interview and two subsequent online meetings with Google that included coding tests, Huckabone was flown to Mountain View for a full day of in-person interviews. It didn't lead to a job offer. There could be any number of reasons why, but Huckabone noted it was the first time anyone at Google had been able to see him in the flesh. "I don't know if you've ever been to their campus, but it's basically a sea of 30-year-olds," Huckabone said.
"I don't think they did anything conscious. I just think it was a subconscious 'we don't like older people, we want to be surrounded by younger people' [mindset]," Huckabone said. "I do believe it's just a subconscious thing that pervades their culture."

Student health insurance is now available. Learn more.
This office provides disability accommodations to qualified students based on appropriate documentation and serves other disability related needs to the WVU Parkersburg community.
Because different people have different needs, multiple links on this website often provide the same information. In addition to accessing information from this website, we encourage you to make contact with the Office of Disability Services any time.
Moving From High School to College
Students having received disability related accommodations in secondary schools will find important differences as they continue in higher education. Being aware of these differences can make the transition easier. Among the differences are:

- Secondary schools may have provided for the financial cost of securing necessary documentation of a disability. In higher education, that cost is the responsibility of the student.
- The length of time documentation is valid is substantially different in higher education.
- Some types of accommodations, such as study guides, that are often used in secondary education are not available at the college or university level.
- The amount and type of documentation that will be needed may be different between secondary and higher education. More detailed information about differences may be found at: http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/transition.html

YORK, Pa. – The York College track & field team saw records fall on Thursday evening during a meet on their own track.
"Today was a great day of competition, not only for us, but for everyone who competed," said Head Coach Erick Camodeca. "We had such a talented field show up today, saw countless facility records broken on top of school record and an abundance of personal bests for many of the athletes."
Phillip Cavaluchi (Port Carbon, Pa./Pottsville) started things off for the Spartans early in the long jump. After coming off his best jump at CAC Championships, he was able to record a new personal best and break the 15-year-old school record. Cavaluchi's jump of 7.25 meters also helped to put him in the top 10 in the nation and a good chance to attend the national championships at the end of the month.
Coach Camodeca says that whatever happens at the end of the season, they are thrilled to see how Phil ended his Spartan career.
Fresh off of her Rookie of the Year award announcement, Bethany Miller (York, Pa./York Suburban) also came up big for the Spartans. Miller came up one half inch short of the school record in the pole vault with a height of 3.26 meters. In just her first year, the coaching staff feels that she is steadily progressing to becoming one of the best athletes in the women's program history.
Laura Rowlands (Dover, Pa./Dover) had a great series in the triple jump, but struggled to get on the board with the quality marks. Rowlands did record a jump that landed in her in second place with a distance of 10.93 meters. Coach Camodeca knows that she has it in her to nail a big jump soon.
In her final meet of her career, Katie Shinn (Orange, Conn./Amity Regional) hit career best in the hammer throw. Shinn's throw of 37.73 meters was a great way to end her Spartan career and the coaches are thrilled to see her end on such a high note.
The group of men's 400-meter runners finished with quality times. Darnell Tillman (Enola, Pa./East Pennsboro) finished with a time of 51.95 in fifth place and Sebastian Hall (Mount Joy, Pa./Donegal) recorded a time of 52.24 for eighth.
Okera Beidleman (Germantown, Md./Northwest) finally broke through in the 800 today. He was able to break the 2:00 barrier that he has been striving for all season. Beidleman raced to a second place finish with a time of 1:59. 64.
Eddie Kraft (Brick, N.J./Brick Memorial) was also able to record a personal best. After finding his way back to form, Kraft nailed a huge throw of 13.28 meters. Coach Camodeca knew that he had it in him all season and was glad to see him perform so strongly.
"This was a great way for us to wrap up the season and pursue the chase to nationals," said Coach Camodeca.
For many of the Spartans, the 2013 season has come to an end, but some will be competing on Monday for the Swarthmore Tuppany Twilight Last Chance Meet. The Green and White's final chance to qualify for nationals starts at 4:00 pm.

DETROIT (AP) -- A judge has pushed back the trial date on Detroit's plan to emerge from bankruptcy by one month.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes set an updated series of deadlines last Thursday, including a July 16 trial date. The trial previously had been set for June 16, and the new schedule offers more time for all sides to negotiate and resolve disputes before then.
The blueprint from state-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr for Detroit's restructuring and debt removal calls for the city to spend $1.5 billion over 10 years to remove blighted properties, upgrade public-safety equipment and technology and make other improvements.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Free Press reports that the city last Thursday reached a new deal with Barclays to borrow $120 million to speed the restructuring and invest in services.
