Objectives: In this lab you will learn:
- Proper use of the microscope
- Measurement of specimens using the micrometer
- Calculation of effective concentration
- Observation of the model organism Tetrahymena pyriformis
- Experimental design
PART I: Microscopy
Most cells measure about 1–100 micrometers (µm) in diameter. This size is smaller than can be detected by the unaided human eye; therefore, microscopes are needed to visualize cells and their component parts. The compound light microscope can magnify to about 1000 times the actual size of the specimen and can resolve details as fine as 0.2µm. In this part of today's lab, you will learn to use the compound microscope by examining the unicellular organism Tetrahymena pyriformis.
A. Care of the Microscopes
A compound microscope is available for each student's use. Remember at all times that your microscope is a precision optical instrument and must be handled carefully. When removing the microscope from the cabinet, do not jar or drop it. Always carry it upright with one hand below the base and the other hand on the arm of the microscope. Place the microscope at least 6 inches from the edge of the bench. When returning the microscope to the cabinet, check that:
- The microscope light is turned off before the microscope is unplugged;
- The lowest objective lens is near the stage and the stage itself is lowered; and
- The microscope is covered (if there is a cover available).
B. Parts of the Microscope
Figure 1 contains a diagram of a compound microscope and may help you locate some of the parts referred to in the following explanation. The compound microscope derives its name from the two sets of lenses it uses to magnify objects. These lenses are the objective lens, which can be found on the rotating nosepiece near the stage of the microscope, and the ocular lens, which is in the eyepiece. Your microscopes are equipped with several objective lenses, ranging from low to high magnification, including one oil immersion lens. The microscope magnifies by shining light from the light source through the iris diaphragm that limits the diameter of the light beam. The condenser lens focuses the light through the specimen that is on the stage. The stage is movable in order to view different parts of the specimen. The image we see is formed under the ocular lens by the objective lens and is a mirror image of the actual specimen.

C. Regulation of Illumination
- The illumination intensity knob is located on the right side of the microscope just below the on/off switch. It has a setting range of 1-10 with 10 being the brightest level. This knob should ordinarily be set to 7.
- Another way of adjusting illumination is by changing the position of the condenser lens. The condenser lens adjustment knob is located below the specimen stage and on the left side. It allows the user to move the condenser lens assembly up or down. As you move the condenser lens up, closer to the specimen, it concentrates (condenses) more light on your specimen. You will need to make this adjustment as you go up in magnification, so that you will have sufficient illumination.
- The condenser aperture diaphragm is located below the specimen stage on the condenser lens assembly. It is an adjustable opening, which allows you to make fine adjustments in illumination. The lever, which adjusts the size of the aperture, faces the user. By sliding the lever to the left or right, you may adjust the illumination to the correct level for your specimen. Changing the size of this aperture also affects the amount of contrast in the image. Thus, adjusting the condenser aperture involves finding the brightness level, which gives you the best combination of illumination and contrast. This is the method used most often in adjusting illumination in the light microscope.
- Another method of adjusting illumination is by using the field aperture diaphragm. This is mentioned here for the sake of completeness, as most light microscopes have an adjustable field aperture. However, the microscopes in the 110 lab lack this adjustability, which allows the user to obtain illumination that is uniformly bright and free from glare (Köhler illumination).
D. How to Locate Specimens Using a Compound Light Microscope
- Place specimen slide on microscope stage and secure with clamping arm. The slide is properly in position if turning each of the stage adjustment knobs moves the slide appropriately. Position the 4x or 10x objective into place. It will click when it is properly positioned directly over the slide. Make sure that there are several inches of clearance between the glass slide and the lens.
- Using the stage adjustment knobs, position the edge of the coverslip in the center of the illuminated area. Look into the microscope and adjust the eye pieces so that you can see one image when you use BOTH eyes for viewing. While looking through the oculars and 4x or 10x objective lens, rotate the course focus knob slowly so that the distance between the slide and the objective lens is reduced. When you see the black line that indicates the edge of the coverslip is coming into focus, switch from the course to the fine focus adjustment and bring that "black line" into sharp focus. Switch to the 10x objective and refocus. Use the stage adjustment knob to move away from the edge of the coverslip into the area where your specimen is located. To increase the magnification of the specimen, rotate the nosepiece to the 40X objective lens and focus using ONLY the fine adjustment knob. Never use the coarse focus knob when you have the 40x objective in place.
- Although you will not use the 100x objective to view your specimens today, be aware that immersion oil must be placed on the slide in order to use the 100X objective lens. Therefore, please be sure NOT to use the 100X objective.
E. Calculation of Total Magnification
Total magnification of the specimen is determined by multiplying the magnifying power of the ocular and objective lenses. For example, a 10X ocular and a 40X objective together give a total magnification of 400X (Table 1). This means that the specimen appears 400 times larger when viewed with a microscope than its actual size.
F. Size Measurement of Cells and Cellular Structures
Cell size can be measured using an ocular micrometer. A micrometer has been installed in one of the ocular lenses of each microscope in the laboratory. As you can see below, it looks like a small ruler with both large and small units. The large units are numbered 1, 2, 3, etc. The small units are subdivisions of the large units and are not numbered. There are 10 small units per large unit.
The small units represent different lengths depending on the objective lens in use. You will measure cellular structures in small units only, and then convert to metric units (µm = micrometers) using the conversion values below.
Therefore, if you are observing a cell with the 40X objective, and this cell spans 2.5 small units on the ocular micrometer scale, then the size of the cell is calculated by multiplying 2.5 small units x 2.5µm/small unit = 6.25µm. You should always calculate size of any object that is the focus of a figure in a photomicrograph for a scientific paper. Because digital imaging allows manipulation of size post-viewing, giving the total magnification is sometimes misleading. You should calculate and give the size of any important object in the figure legend.
PART II: Examination of Tetrahymena pyriformis
To help you become familiar with the use of the compound microscope and to prepare for experiments with Tetrahymena pyriformis in Labs 3 and 4, today you will observe live Tetrahymena. The protozoan Tetrahymena is used as a model organism for the study of cellular processes such as phagocytosis. Tetrahymena are easy to maintain in culture and they can be observed using the compound microscope.
NOTE: You will not use the oil (100X) objective today to view your Tetrahymena.
- Obtain a microcentrifuge tube containing live Tetrahymena.
- Mix it gently by inverting a few times (no vortexing). It is best to obtain a sample from the TOP of the tube, since the cells will be more concentrated in that location.
- Add 20μL of the live Tetrahymena to the center of a clean glass slide, add a cover slip, and then view the cells using the microscope, starting with the lowest power and moving up to 400x total magnification.
- Carefully observe the behavior of the Tetrahymena and record your observations in your lab notebook.
- Using a digital camera, take photos of the Tetrahymena. Be sure to record the total magnification and include the ocular micrometer in your photographs. Please refer to the directions below, Use of the Cannon A620 and A630 Digital Cameras, or Appendix H for detailed camera instructions.
Use of the Canon A620 and A630 Digital Cameras
Focus your microscope slide image.
Record the total microscope magnification in your laboratory notebook.
We own several Canon digital cameras: A620 models with a resolution of 7MP (megapixels) and A630 models with a resolution of 8MP. The A620 and A630 models are essentially the same camera. Our strategy will be to capture images at the highest resolution (7 or 8 MP) of the camera, transfer them to the computer and use Photoshop to edit.
- Pull out the viewfinder and flip it so you can see the screen on the back of the camera.
- To take a photo, make sure the switch on the back of the camera is set to the red-camera-icon position (live image mode).
- Set the camera to auto on the wheel at the top of the camera near the on/off button.
- Turn off the flash by pushing the function wheel on the back of the camera under the lightning (flash) symbol. If the flash is off the flash symbol will have a line through it on the screen.
- Push the zoom all the way to the left so that you've zoomed out all the way.
- Place the camera lens against the microscope ocular lens containing the ocular micrometer.
- Move the camera lens around the microscope eyepiece to find the image. This takes a little practice and patience. The camera lens should not touch the microscope eyepiece. The image field is circular.
- Rest your left hand on the side of the microscope eyepiece and cup your fingers around the lens of the camera and the microscope. This will stabilize the camera and facilitate obtaining the best image. The camera lens should be about a quarter of an inch or so from the ocular lens.
- The camera will automatically focus the image. When you have obtained an evenly illuminated circular image field, gently press the exposure button at the top of the camera to take the picture.
- To transfer captured images to the computer, slide the switch on the back of the camera from the red-camera-icon position (live image mode) to the blue-arrowhead-icon position (captured-image review mode).
- Plug the USB cable into the computer keyboard port located on back of keyboard, then into camera port. The iPhoto window opens up. Check box to delete image from camera.
- Click Import to download your image into the iPhoto Library folder. Confirm that the "Delete originals" button is selected.
- In the File menu, select Export... The Export Photos window opens. Select "Full-size images" and "Original" format. Click Export button.
- A window shade drops down in the Export Photos window. Rename your file in the Save As text box and choose Desktop as your destination. Click OK. Close the iPhoto window.
- Launch Adobe Photoshop. In the File menu, select Open… The "Open" window appears. Find and select your image, then click Open.
- In the Embedded Profile Mismatch window, select "Use the embedded profile…" and click OK. Your image opens.
- Select the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" by typing the letter M on the keyboard. Drag cursor to select desired portion of your circular image, including a segment of the ocular micrometer. This yields a conventional rectangular image suitable for use in a paper.
- In the Image menu, select Crop. The selected portion of your picture appears on the desktop.
- In the Image menu, select Image Size... The "Image Size" window appears. Make sure the Constrain Proportions box is checked. In the Document Size portion of the window, decrease the larger of the two image dimensions to 4 inches. Click OK.
- In the File menu select Save As… and rename file. Use JPEG as the image Format. Click Save. JPEG Options window opens. Set Quality to Maximum (10). Click OK. This will create a small file of about 150–300KB in size. Delete the original large (3MB) image file.
- Email the images to yourself and to your partner(s). Check with your instructor to if she/he would like them uploaded to the lab Sakai site.
PART III: Determining the Toxicity of Cobalt Chloride or Cupric Chloride on Tetrahymena pyriformis
Each pair of students will obtain the cobalt chloride or copper chloride stock solution and dilutions they made last week to carry out a Tetrahymena toxicity study.
- Combine 20 μL of live Tetrahymena with 20 μL of 0.11 M copper chloride or 0.26 M cobalt chloride in a clean microfuge tube.
- What is the effective concentration of the heavy metal after it is mixed with Tetrahymena?
- Wait 1 minute, and then add 20 μL of those Tetrahymena (from the microfuge tube) to a glass slide, add a cover slip, and observe using the microscope.
- Record your observations and measurements about behavior and morphology changes in Tetrahymena after exposure to the heavy metal.
- Take pictures with the digital camera.
Is copper chloride or cobalt chloride toxic to Tetrahymena at the concentration used? How do you define toxicity? How can you quantify the effects of toxicity in Tetrahymena? How do you know what is normal behavior and morphology? If you decide to use lack of movement as your criterion for toxicity, how will you determine what is self-propelled movement vs. water flowing on your slide? Should you include a control? YES! What would the appropriate control(s) be? Test the remainder of the dilutions of cobalt or copper chloride solution and determine if concentration is important in the toxicity of your heavy metal. Make a table in your lab notebook to record your data. Don't forget to calculate final concentration (in moles) of the heavy metal every time you use a different dilution and record that information in your lab notebook. Use final (effective) concentration, not dilution factor, in your data table or axis labels in a graph made from the data and in your results analysis.
Laboratory Cleanup
- Clean the objective lens of your microscope using only lens tissue (NOT Kimwipes®) starting with the lowest power (4x) and working up to the highest. Make sure that there is NO liquid on any lens.
- Rotate the 4x objective lens into the viewing position.
- The binocular head must be rotated into the storage position to protect the ocular lenses from damage. Loosen the setscrew on the right, rotate the head 180°, then tighten the screw. Turn off the microscope light.
- Have your instructor check your microscope before returning it to the cabinet.
- Place the stock solutions of cobalt chloride or cupric chloride in the tray next to the sink near the instructor's table.
- Put all used microscope slides and cover slips in the glass disposal box.
- Put microcentrifuge tubes containing small amounts of heavy metal solution in the orange biohazard bags
- Return your heavy metal stock solutions to the instructor bench.
- Before you come to lab next time, read all the material in Lab 3 and outline the day's work in your lab notebook.
- After reading the material in the Lab 3 wiki, please take the online quiz through Sakai.
- Read both the Ritchie and Smyth 2009 article and the Jaiswal and Majeti compilation (posted on Sakai) and answer the following questions. Answers must be submitted through Sakai before the start of Lab 3. You can discuss the papers with your classmates, but you must answer all questions individually.
Lab 2 Questions - please answer in a WORD document and then copy and paste into the Assignment in the Tests and Quizzes section of SAKAI. Hard copies will not be accepted.
- Write a summary of the Ritchie and Smyth article. This paragraph should be written for a Wellesley college student with no college level biology. Your summary should be one paragraph.
- What is an integrin?
- Why do you think hematopoietic stem cells express the CXCR4 chemokine receptor?
- IAP stands for integrin associated protein. What is another name for integrin associated protein?
- What does GFP stand for? Why was GFP used in the generation of a serially transplantable mouse model of AML?
- What is an isotype matched control and why was it used in Figure 6 of the Majeti 2009 article?
- How would you improve Figure 6A of the Majeti 2009 article?

Positive points to the boro
April 1, 2008
I have been a resident of Mount Oliver Borough for the better part of 55 years. There comes a time when someone has to speak up and point out some of the positive points of the borough.
Certainly the news media is not aware of any because when and if they conduct an interview, it is with someone who probably doesn't even live here or only rents.
The home owners and long time residents of this borough can be thankful that they have a police department that is not only dedicated, but professional in every sense. The current force has done and continues to do, a very good job in making this borough safe. The best it has been in a long time.
The problems with this borough are no different than any other parts of the City of Pittsburgh. The problems seemed to be magnified when something happens. Just look where this borough is situated and that will answer a lot of questions. For years transit traffic has been a problem and will continue to be a problem.
The other is some landlords who do not require any type of background check other than greenbacks in their hand. Absentee landlords have always created serious problems, because the property continues to deteriorate to the point where it cannot be repaired or renovated. Let borough officials try to rectify this though and they get stonewalled at either the city or county. Just like everyone else, borough officials get lip service.
The Borough of Mount Oliver has taken steps to eliminate nuisance bars and residents, they are going to hold landlords responsible for their tenants. These are positive steps. I would hope that channels 2, 4 and 11 would attend a borough meeting, the next one is April 21st at 7:30 p.m. and ask the people who know what's going on in the borough, not just any two or three people standing on the street corner.
It's time for the long term residents and home owners of this borough to stand up and help borough officials continue to make progress, by attending monthly meetings and making suggestions and by reporting any sign of criminal activity, no matter how small. By doing this we can make this borough a better place to live, for everyone.
Borough officials, fire chief, police department can only do so much, it takes a combined effort to make it work. Everybody in this borough has to get involved in some way, shape or form. With a new borough council, mayor, and the changes taking place, the borough will continue to stand on its own.

The International Society for Burns Injuries (ISBI) has published guidelines for the management of multiple or mass burns casualties, and recommends that 'each country has or should have a disaster planning system that addresses its own particular needs.' The need for a national burns disaster plan integrated with national and provincial disaster planning was discussed at the South African Burns Society Congress in 2009, but there was no real involvement in the disaster planning prior to the 2010 World Cup; the country would have been poorly prepared had there been a burns disaster during the event. This article identifies some of the lessons learnt and strategies derived from major burns disasters and burns disaster planning from other regions. Members of the South African Burns Society are undertaking an audit of burns care in South Africa to investigate the feasibility of a national burns disaster plan. This audit (which is still under way) also aims to identify weaknesses of burns care in South Africa and implement improvements where necessary.

Naya Pul (1340m) to Tikhedhunga (1540m) – Trek Day One: "I can't wait to put my beast legs on."
We were off to the middle of the mountains with no guide. It was okay though. I had my woolly hat and my knitting. What more does a girl trekking to thousands of metres need?

Somewhere out there Serena Williams is breathing a sigh of relief. When she's ready to dress up her Nike whites with some diamonds, she won't need to look farther than the AELTC club shop for her bling.
The Wimbledon Jewelry Collection finally makes its debut. According to the Chic Report, it will consist of necklaces, cufflinks, earrings, and of course, tennis bracelets. A portion of the proceeds will go to notable charities. It's about time the most glamorous Grand Slam steps up to the Tiffany & Co. line exclusive to the U.S. Open.
As you may remember, the Wimbledon collection was announced in August and publicized last month by giving Venus Williams a diamond-encrusted tennis ball.

Montreal is the largest city in the province of Quebec, the second-largest in Canada and the 8th-largest in North America. The city covers most of the Island of Montreal at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers. The port of Montreal lies at one end of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, the river gateway that stretches from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic.
Montréal is as romantically traditional as it is cutting-edge innovative, as cosmopolitan dynamic as it is small-town friendly. Yet despite this diversity, an underlying similarity exists in this vibrant population who collectively and confidently "live and let live".
French is the city's official language and is the language spoken at home; as Québécois French, by over 60% of the population of the city, followed by English and other languages.
A visit to the eastern Canadian city of Montreal is not complete without experiencing its fascinating art, culture, food and architecture.
Montréal is a slice of old Europe in a pie of contemporary design. A day's wander might take in the photogenic 18th-century facades of Old Montréal before a cycling tour of the lovely Canal de Lachine, or take in the glittering shops and restaurants of downtown and ending at the inviting terraced cafes of Plateau Mont-Royal. The architectural sweep of the city takes in a wealth of heritage churches such as the breathtaking Basilique Notre-Dame, as well as 20th-century icons like the Stade Olympique and Habitat 67.
Discover Old Montreal On one hand, the Old Montréal is vibrant, artistic and trendy, while on the other hand, it reflects the city's rich patrimonial heritage. Many centuries-old heritage buildings have been transformed into luxurious loft apartments, while the area's cobblestone streets are lined with a multitude of art galleries, restaurants and chic boutiques; furthermore, the site of the first colony is now also home to the Cité du multimedia, a hotspot for hip young business and advertising professionals.
Outdoor Activities As an island city, Montréal is a fabulous outdoor destination. With 500 kilometres of bike trails, abundant green spaces, and water lapping up on our shore, Montréal has it all to get out there and get moving! Montréal is also elite on the international cycling scene. Our extensive network of cycling paths make us the envy of many a metropolis. Of course there's the BIXI bike rental system, likely Montréal's most enjoyable export that is now rolling across major cities around the world. It's not surprising that Montréal was ranked as the 5th best bike city in North America by Outside Magazine in 2012.
Montreal by Night Experiencing Montréal by night is when you'll really get to see what the city is all about – contagious and inclusive joie-de-vivre! Montréal's nightlife scene is as varied as it is engaging, with something for everyone. Montréal's nightlife adapts to the seasons: summer is all about outdoor festivals and patios, while winter features crowd-pleasing performances and shows. When you consider that we host some 108 festivals throughout the year alone, it's pretty safe to say that no matter the language or the interest, when it comes to finding something to do in the evening, Montréal has something for everyone.
Explore the neighbourhoods The city is composed of 19 large boroughs, subdivided into neighbourhoods. The borough with the most neighbourhoods is Ville-Marie, which includes downtown, the historical district of Old Montreal, Chinatown, the Gay Village, the Latin Quarter, the recently gentrified Quartier international and Cité Multimédia as well as the Quartier des Spectacles which is currently under development.
Arts & Culture Culture in a myriad of forms runs rampant across Montréal. It's not surprising, considering that the city's Entertainment District alone is a 1 Sq. Km – hotbed of bustling cultural and entertainment action where the best and the brightest come to play. La Vitrine culturelle, a central box office for tickets, information and promotions on all the city's events, makes it easy to get in on the action. In short, art is everywhere in this city where exciting events happen all year long – you just need to get out there and experience it!
Shopping Cracking the top 50 on the list of world fashion capitals according to the Global Language Monitor, Montréal is a city full of flair, style and innate fashion sense. Montrealers effortlessly combine original, vintage and trendy elements for a look all their own. From haute couture to ready-to-wear fashion, from antiques to art galleries, Montréal is a huge and eclectic shopping mecca. Start your spree on Sainte Catherine Street, one of North America's longest and most dynamic shopping arteries. Its 15-kilometre length yields as many one-of-a-kind shops as big-name brand stores. From there, escape the heat (or cold!) via the underground pedestrian network, home to more than 1,700 shops and several department stores.
Dining As the city with the largest number of restaurants per capita in North America, chances are that you're going to find just the region or type of food you crave in Montréal – and it's going to be delicious! Ingenuity is the main ingredient in a unique cuisine that deftly mixes invention with tradition. The result? An inspired blend of local influences, daring world flavours and European heritage. What's more, Montréal chefs work hand in hand with local purveyors and can often be found exploring the public markets for the inspiration and base of their next great creation. And if you don't catch them at the market, chances are you'll find them chatting up the patrons at their restaurant; Montréal's culinary scene is also appetizingly accessible!
Toronto may be Canada's economic capital, but Montréal remains the country's cultural juggernaut, with some 250 theater and dance companies, over 90 festivals and a fascinating medley of neighborhoods where artists, writers and musicians have helped cement the city's reputation as a great arts center.
The Festival International de Jazz de Montréal is the headline event, followed by parties dedicated to world cinema, comedy and gay pride. There's truly something for everyone at all times of the year. No matter the season, time or weather, we Montrealers flock to festivals like moths to a flame.

A few days ago, in the mail, I received a notice from my homeowners insurance company notifying me that they were cancelling my policy as of January 18 due to a lack of payment. I was shocked, to say the least.
Back when we first bought our home and arranged our mortgage, the mortgage company offered to set up an escrow account for us. Each month, we would pay a certain amount into that escrow account and, from that account, they would manage the homeowners insurance and the property taxes on our home. After running the numbers and realizing that this would actually save us a fair amount of effort, we signed up for this program.
Flash forward a year later. Our insurance company was purchased by a second insurance company. To us, this seemed like a mere formality. We received a new policy in the mail and similar information was sent to our mortgage company. We kept making our monthly mortgage payment like clockwork, keeping money in the coffers for our insurance.
Then, suddenly, out of the blue, a notice about policy cancellation due to a lack of a payment?
Naturally, I spent the next two hours on the phone tracking down the problem. The problem itself was incredibly simple. My mortgage company failed to convert the records on my escrow account to refer to the new insurance company. Thus, when they received solicitations for payment from the new mortgage company, they checked my records, discovered they did not match, and assumed that there was some sort of error (or perhaps some sort of nefarious activity).
Everything was resolved with three phone calls, however, and everything is in place with no loss of insurance on my home. However, I did learn a few things in the process.
First, when there is an address change of any sort, make sure you contact the relevant people. Yes, others may actually be responsible for this. Yes, they should have already been notified by someone else. But at the same time, people are human and make human choices and human mistakes, which is what the problem was here.
Be proactive. If one of the companies you do business with changes an account number or an address, consider it your responsibility to make sure it is changed everywhere it needs to be, regardless of whether or not it's ultimately your responsibility. Taking care of it now – and making sure it's done right – can save you a big headache later on.
Second, read all of your notices. Even though I'm supposedly on the "paperless" plan for several of my bills, I still receive oodles of statements and messages from these companies. Most of them are completely unimportant to me. They inform me of very minor things like changes in terms of service, new "offers" that I can't live without, and newsletters with articles that don't interest me.
After a while, it's very easy to become numb to all of it. Don't. Open every one, read it over, and handle it appropriately. Yes, most of them will go in the trash can. Yes, you'll often feel like you just wasted fifteen minutes of your life.
But for every fifty useless missives that you read, one will be very important. This little notice looked like several others I've received from the same company and none of the others were important at all. Had I attacked it with glossy eyes, who knows what may have happened.
Finally – and perhaps most importantly – don't get irate with customer service representatives. Most of the time, the customer service folks you talk to on the phone have spent most of their day dealing with irate, rude people demanding various things of them, often over the top ridiculous things, and are treated rudely in the process. A little bit of honey goes a long way. Even if you're upset and angry with the situation, remember that it's not the fault of the person you're talking to. Almost always, they're trying to help you out to the best of their ability. Yes, it feels good to vent, but don't vent at the person who is trying to help you.
Thankfully, everything is in order now, and I've learned a good lesson in being proactive.

|Man Without Qualities
America's most trusted source for news and information.
"The truth is not a crystal that can be slipped into one's pocket, but an endless current into which one falls headlong."
Robert Musil
Tuesday, February 27, 2007
According to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, "being over the age of 72, a Mormon, twice divorced or a smoker all are bigger drags on a candidate's support than is gender or race." What's most striking about the poll is that it asks about such unusual topics in the first place. Race and gender are pretty standard things to poll about, but the peculiar categories of "over 72," "a Mormon," "twice divorced" and "smoker" seem pretty obviously keyed to what intuition suggests might be weaknesses in the candidacies of McCain, Romney, Giuliani and Obama, respectively. Of course, there's no reason to avoid such topical questions - after all, these people are running for the presidency right now.
But why does this poll avoid every obvious potential specific weakness of Hillary Clinton's candidacy? Is the point to make Senator Clinton look good, or "inevitable?" Or are the pollsters just dense? For example, John Fund today scribes a pointed and astute analysis of why Mrs. Clinton's biggest problem may be voters' unease with dynastic politics. While Mr. Fund's particular take is clever and characteristically his personal style, the general topic of voter sensitivity to dynastic politicians such as Senator Clinton is hardly obscure or subtle or novel, and it is certainly a more respectable voter concern than a candidate's religious orientation, for example. It comes up automatically and constantly and appropriately whenever Jeb Bush is discussed even in passing. So why does the Washington Post-ABC News Poll avoid this topic?
How about asking about candidates who have never explained large commodities trading profits that beat the market so much that any option-back-dating corporate officer would be green with envy? And isn't it more than a bit odd that a poll including so many topical, candidate-specific questions omits to ask about the voters' take on a candidate whose brother seems to have sold a presidential criminal pardon just before the candidate herself cleared out of the White House? Would it be too delicate for a poll asking about religion, marital history and age to include a question or two regarding a candidate who never denounced her husband's pardon of, say, Marc Rich? It wouldn't be too hard to come up with a slew of other such topical, specific questions pertaining to Senator Clinton the same way the Washington Post-ABC News Poll question specifically pertain to her competitors.
But there are no such specific questions in that poll. Strange that is. Passing strange.
Voters are concerned about "dynastic politics", huh? That's why the Bushes openly brag about George P. Bush (affectionately known as "P") becoming the next Bush POTUS. Neocons are more worried about Democratic "dynastic succesion" than anything else. Hilary Clinton might win the Democratic nomination, but she has way too much baggage to win the Presidency. Although with such a lame GOP presidential field at present, who knows? I'll bet FOX News would still kiss her ass if they had to.

{anchor:more details}
The OpenSyllabus project seeks to adapt to Sakai an easy to use tool to create and publish model-based syllabi that is currently used at [HEC Montréal|http://zonecours.hec.ca/index.txp?lang=en]. OpenSyllabus differs from the actual syllabus tool found in Sakai release 2.4 in three dimensions.
1. For the instructor : contrary to Syllabus which offers no guidance to the instructor, OpenSyllabus is a template that organizes the material and resources usually found in a course outline in predefined sections (introduction, contact information, learning material, assignments, weekly themes or lectures, etc.). Instructors can thus deposit their electronic resources (ppt, pdf, url, etc.) directly to the right syllabus section and qualify their use (reading, exercise. general resource, etc.).
2. For the students: OpenSyllabus offers a unified interface with a standardized vocabulary for easy navigation through the syllabus for all the course material.
3. For the administrative staff and the general public: OpenSyllabus offers a centralized location were all the university syllabi can be found (current and archived ones). OpenSyllabus seamlessly present public or private versions of the syllabi (depending on the viewing rights) and merge information intended for all registered students of a course or for the students attending a specific section. OpenSyllabus shares the openness objectives found in the MIT OpenCourseWare project.
The prototype exploits Google Web Toolkit library ([GWT|http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/]) to provide a quick and friendly user interface. The structure and the content of the syllabus are described in a structured XML file. OpenSyllabus/GWT shell can create, display and modify the XML file which is then stored in Sakai. The XML file also contains the unique URLs to access all the other resources (Power Point, citation, forum, etc.) contained in the syllabus. The prototype can thus exploit all the resources and features available in Sakai yet can keep the information in a XML format for possible sharing or export.
!ScreenShot OpenSyllabus.png|thumbnail!
*Technical Documentation:*
* [Technical Documentation]
OpenSyllabus Roadmap is a big-picture view of functionality, ideas and hopes we expect OpenSyllabus to include in mid-term and long-term future. This roadmap is based on feedback from current OpenSyllabus developers and Sakai community members. The following items are listed in the order of our actual priorities:
* Course Outline Sharing [(CO sharable content)|http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/download/attachments/7471527/SharableCO.pdf]
Ressources and texts could be shared among different Course Outlines. For instance, different COs can inherit basic content (resources & texts) from a Master CO. Thus, a course delivered by different teachers could share one Master CO. This allows each teacher to build a different CO from the inherited Master CO. Inherited content could not be edited but new content could be easily added.
* Integration to Academic Information System
* UX improvement
** Drag & Drop Mechanism for syllabus structure tree
** OSYL setting management tool
It is a friendly tool dedicated to SAKAI administrators for managing OSYL configuration.
It allows the setting of different configurations according to :
*** university or department standards
*** different course outline structures
*** specific vocabulary and terminology
* Resources copyright Management
* Resources tagging attributes : available at library, available at bookstore, etc
* Course display format :
** Course Outline Export Format (PDF, XML)
** Global/Lengthy Course Outline View
* Integration to other related Sakai Tools :
Citation Tool, SCORM Player, Forum, Wiki , Exercises, Podcast, new Sakai Portal MyCamTools, etc.
* Mathematical Equations Enabling
* Learning Module Encapsulation and Sharing
* User Feedback Management
* Offline capabilities (Google Gears ?)


text: I am reading through the tutorails from forgers on Win32. I can't seem to grasp the whole concept of resources and menus. When I try to compile certain bits of code that he provides in the menus section, it won't work. When I use resources, do I have to put #include <resource.h> at the top? Is there anything that I will have to change to get it to work on Dev C++? Any help would be great...thx l8er

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Freshman forward Hannah Hoenshell collected College Hockey America Rookie of the Week laurels, the conference office announced Monday (Jan. 7). The award is the first of her career for the Plano, Texas, native, who tallied four points on a pair of goals and assists in a 10-0 win over Chatham Jan. 4.
Hoenshell notched her first goal in the latter half of the opening period before adding to the total in the final minutes of the second frame. The Texan added helpers on goals from Jordin Pardoski (Rochester Hills, Mich.) and Jenna Welch (Austin, Texas) in the second and third periods, respectively. Hoenshell finished with a team-high plus-4 alongside Pardoski and Sarah Wilkie (Ashby, Mass.).
The offensive fireworks propelled Hoenshell to a tie for second on the team in goals (7) with Jill Holdcroft (Pennsylvania Furnace, Pa.), while bringing her season total of assists to three.
Hoenshell joins teammates Micayla Catanzariti (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) and Celine Whitlinger (Garden Grove, Calif.) in earning the honor. Classmate Shannon Yoxheimer (Jackson, Mich.) also grabbed CHA Rookie of the Month for November.
The Nittany Lions return to the ice Friday, Jan. 11 for the first game in a series against Union in Schenectady, N.Y. The teams will face off at 7 p.m. Friday before meeting again at 4 p.m. Saturday.

The Micasaverde & Vera community forums have moved Click here to visit the new Vera Control community forum
So far they missed last nights promised update email and todays actual beta access...
Quote from: konradwalsh on May 01, 2014, 09:36:47 amSo far they missed last nights promised update email and todays actual beta access...Are you really surprise?
The day micasaverde can release a update/beta the date the say, dat day I'm not going out because it is going to rain cats and dogs and the sky is falling downSent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
It could be due to departments not communicating properly (I've certainly seen that before). It could also be that they thought it would be ready, but a problem popped up. Then there might have been a quick discussion about releasing it as-is (after all, it's beta) and then releasing an update with the fix for the known problem vs. fixing something and releasing the better product a bit later. Who knows?What I do know is that this would be an excellent place to keep us up to date on what's going on.
