The Alchemy of a Badge
We have been rolling out a gazillion things in the past month here at Mozilla, with the Summer Code Party campaign kicking off and it has been a while since I blogged here. Well this week it was time for a retreat as I traveled up to Maine to work with Erin on badges and assessments.
We took as a basis all the wonderful web literacy work Doug Belshaw and Michelle Levesque have been doing, as well as everything that we have learned so far from people around the world using our tools. What we tried to do is develop an assessment system that will allow us to issue badges within the next months across our tools.
The process involved a lot of post-it and marker alchemy and for that reason I have named this post "The Alchemy of a Badge". (which is probably me being biased as a game designer and somewhat inspired by playing too much of Magic The Gathering and Skyrim.)
In plain English that means I will cover some first ideas about assessment.
The Alchemy of a Badge
Alchemy is an art similar to chemistry or cooking, that involves mixing elements together to create potions. These potions might even result to some kind of inner revelation or even an enlightenment of some sort.
I have similarly imagined the art of creating a badge; There are many different elements you include in making a badge , many different ways you mix them all together and at the same time the whole process is part of something bigger, a system of other badges if you will. At the end you have discovered something new about yourself.
In this way badges become meaningful and valuable objects that demonstrate a rich learning experience and are worth pursuing and showcasing.
Poetic thoughts aside, it is time to directly dive into the types of assessments we are considering to create the alchemy of a badge.
1) Granular Skills Badges; These badges are assessed
2)these badges are assessed

Nike Lunar Force 1 Hi Lux VT "University Red"
February 13th, 2014 by Aaron Hope | 1 comment
Back in December, we got our first look at a Nike Lunar Force 1 Lux High VT that was then releasing over in Japan. Today, we're seeing it arrive at retailers in another Asian nation, which suggests it's only a matter of time before US Nike Sportswear dealers have these on store shelves. This University Red edition with the soft peach accents and white LunarLon midsole will be joined by blue and black pairs, so click in to take a closer view of this one, let us know if it's the pick of the pack and stick with Sneaker News for a US release date.

News organizations in search of team policies regarding social media actually found that UGA basketball has team policies regarding sex and dating. Sports Illustrated reported it first but Deadspin put up a copy of the document.
Here is some of the advice given to the players from an AJC synopsis:
Among the highlights for "Treat women with respect":
- You don't own your girlfriend.
- Birth control is your responsibility too.
- Never assault or intimidate a woman.
- Don't spend all of your energy in the bed all night
- Hicky's/passion marks should not be ever noticed by coaches
- One. Not two or three girlfriends.
Not widely publicized but you can view in the document is an item that says: No means no, date rape is a serious issue. Also mentioned is to avoid gray areas like orgies.
So I have a couple of viewpoints on this: one as a mother and then also one a college professor who has taught at a large university for the last three years.
On the one hand, you would hope this stuff doesn't need to be said. Do we need to tell adults not to date rape or have orgies? Do we need to tell young men they don't own their girlfriends? Should they have to be told that birth control is their responsibility too?
You would hope they would know this. You would hope they know how to behave responsibly and treat women respectfully but the truth of the matter is many of them don't — and I think that's true for other college students, not just players. I am glad that someone is giving them this guidance – a constant drumbeat of how to behave.
As a professor, I would find myself saying motherly things to my students. I worry about them just like I do my own kids. I want them to be healthy and happy and to succeed. I want them not to do dumb things academically or socially. Before Christmas breaks and spring breaks I would say to my girls stay in groups, don't go off alone with boys they have just met, don't take drinks from people they don't know. It's hard not to mother them.
So it's sad that there has to be a written policy about how to treat others respectfully, but I guess I'm glad that they are on it. I'm glad someone is teaching these young men those lessons.
What do you think: Is it appropriate for a college to have those types of rules? Should the players already know this? Is if for the good of the program or for the development of young men? What role should college educators play in the emotional/social development of the students?
March 27th, 2014
2:54 am
Of course they should already know these things. Most are over eighteen and legal adults. High school was supposed to the time to grow up.
March 27th, 2014
4:16 am
Not everyone is raised, some people just grow up.
If athletes are seen as representing a school through their behavior OFF the court, as well as on the court, then at least this way the ground rules are established.
March 27th, 2014
5:07 am
Of course college students should already know these things. BUT, the athletic department is exercising due diligence. They know that in spite of the fact that college students should already know these things, incidents HAVE happened. They also know that when they do happen, the thousands (or millions) of dollars invested in athletes are in jeopardy so they're exercising caution to try and avoid a problem down the road. I think they should be applauded. The only problem I see here is that they aren't pushing them toward the entire student population.
March 27th, 2014
5:24 am
Good idea. Don't assume student's know right from wrong.
March 27th, 2014
6:17 am
This is what happens when there are no consequences to your actions.
March 27th, 2014
6:25 am
Yes, this needs to be said. These kids have grown up in a world full of violence in the media. It needs to be repeated over and over. You have no right to touch another without their permission while fully alert and able to give consent…. Alcohol is the biggest date rape drug in this country…. and women (and men) are abused while under the influence. They need reminders, they need to know the consequences of their actions……above all they need to learn to respect the opposite sex. Not only should the athletes be reminded the entire WORLD needs to be reminded. Do not use others to satisfy your sexual needs without carefully considering the outcome. You can not consent to sex if your are drunk. You cannot consent if your are under age…… sexual abuse charges can leave lasting marks FOR YOUR LIFETIME. Having to register as a sex offender….etc. THINK. THINK. THINK. now before you make that mistake.
March 27th, 2014
6:44 am
Is it appropriate for a college to have those types of rules? Yes. IMO, they are not rules; rather they are life lessons.
Should the players already know this? Absolutely! *Should* is the key.
Is if for the good of the program or for the development of young men? Yes, good coaching involves mentoring and advising.
What role should college educators play in the emotional/social development of the students? IMO, college educators not only contribute to the education of their students but to their emotional and social development as well. Their roles should be as role models and mentors. It comes with the territory of being an educator — from early elementary teachers to college professors of young adults.
March 27th, 2014
6:55 am
YES these are things that should be known. To me, the problem is that perhaps the parents of these students either did not model appropriate responsible behavior or give them any guidance. Maybe they did not have a strong mother or father figure in their life?
We talked about everything, before our kids headed to college. One down and one to go. She has one more semester after this one. She switched her major and has worked the entire time, so I am fine with it. Currently, the bosses of three related places of employment are volleying for her time. Not much time to get into any trouble.
Yes educators can mentor their students.
OFF topic…
TWG..what happened to your topic on your travel wows and interview with those who might know what happened on your trip? I am interested.
HB and others…one month and no thank you notes. I just sent her a set myself with a few kind words: Thank you notes are a lovely way to let people know that you appreciate their thoughtfulness. She has since sent me things on FB and never mentioned the gift I sent. Maybe she did not like it but my SIL says she did. Hope this will help her out. Perhaps this is related to the topic, as this is something like ^^^ that her parents should have taught her.
Have a great day. I am finishing a week in Texas.
March 27th, 2014
6:59 am
PS…what is a girlfriend? Does that automatically imply sex? At 18? Wow…guess I am out of the loop. Or it is it more of the same…I see what the adults I know do and now that I am an adult I can do it too. Sad to me.
March 27th, 2014
7:16 am
YES. College seems to be a training ground for these future overly paid professional atheletes. They are worshiped for their future /. potential so parents and coaches often feel the needs to bury their heads. Actually even at the High School level ahtletes need to be reminded and PUNISHED, lots of bad stuff going on at that level.
March 27th, 2014

MJG … do you think your friend might be reading this blog? If she is, she certainly knows now you'd like a thank you note! People sure are funny. You're so awesome!
March 27th, 2014
8:28 am
I think some of you forgot or did not attend a big time athletic school. I did. I had the good fortune to live in the 'athletes dorm.' (better food and late meals) What I saw would make most of us blush. Two or three young women showing up at X star's door, half dressed and down for whatever. There was constant pressure. I used to be so embarrassed for those young women. I am sure not much has changed.
It is easy to get caught up at that age and not use your best judgment even if you aren't an athlete. Good for UGA and any other school that gives this type of messaging.
March 27th, 2014
8:38 am
Being 18 means you can go to prison and to war. It doesn't make you an "adult". How many of us would make the same decisions we made at 18 today? They are still kids, and while they should've learned this at home, teenagers do dumb things. Their brains are still developing. Date rape, gang rape, all very common on college campuses. It's been going on for years and years. This is a good thing.
March 27th, 2014
8:57 am
Of course guys should know this before college, but clearly many don't.
MJG, you sent HER a pack of notes? Again, why didn't you send them and a few words on their importance to your husband's nephew? I mean, isn't his relationship to your family why you sent a gift for the baby? Shouldn't his parents (your SIL) have taught him that writing notes is important? Why are you still acting as if this is the young woman's and her parents responsibility/failure?
March 27th, 2014
8:59 am
How do you know these things. You live in Arizona.
March 27th, 2014
9:42 am
I don't think it hurts to have life rules reiterated and for them to know that someone is watching and if they get caught, there will be consequences. Plus these student athletes represent their schools.
Speaking of dumb decisions when you're young: I'm currently cringing inside right now at my 18-year old freshman-in-college son… He's had a girlfriend for almost 2 years who is a senior in HS this year. They are far too serious for my liking of course. I just found out that she's going to visit him at college this weekend. Ugh. I told him I wanted to talk to him today on the phone. I don't know if her parents know and I will ask but unfortunately I think they do and are ok with it (I don't know if they're just naive or if they're looking for someone to take care of her… I honestly think it's the latter and they would be perfectly ok if my son wanted to marry her the day after she graduates from HS). Anyway, I know they just as easily could have had sex while they were both living at home but there's something very grown up about going off to visit your boyfriend without any supervision. And I do think she is far more emotionally involved in this relationship than he is so she's likely willing to sleep with him simply because she thinks it will keep him around longer.
March 27th, 2014

Unfortunately, college athletes represent a great source of income to many universities and colleges around the Nation, and losing the geese that lay golden eggs to a criminal charge is an unpalatable option to some coaches and administrators, so they become buffers between their players and a jail sentence. Having said that, it speaks volumes (in a very bad way) when we have to remind college students what proper, civilized behavior is.
March 27th, 2014
10:49 am
Techmon … what's your sexual history?
March 27th, 2014
10:53 am
Should doesn't matter. Some obvoiusly don't know and those have to be told.
March 27th, 2014
11:04 am
If UGA and other colleges would stop recruiting thugs this would not be needed.
March 27th, 2014
11:27 am
Since the vast majority of young black men grow up without a father, and since the vast majority of football players are young black men, then YES, college students need that.
Should they? No. But until this country is honest enough about race relations to HONESTLY address the thug/gangsta culture, the demolition of the black family by federal government handouts, and the treating of this subject with kid gloves due to the PC nature of the problem, then you can bet that the black community will not clean up it's own act. Therefore, UGA has to advise it's young thugs on how to treat women.
March 27th, 2014
11:39 am
@Maude, enlighten me, please. What is a thug? I'm not being funny. I'm interested in knowing what you think this 'thug' is that these colleges need to stop recruiting.
As for the 'rules', I love them. I wish there was a version for young ladies as well. Young men are not the only ones exhibiting bad behavior on college campuses, even though the light is on them, especially the athletes. Like jct says, some of these girls are more than willing to make fools of themselves, probably to trap someone who "might" go pro. (When will ladies learn that their uterus is not a cash register?) Hell, I made a fool of myself for so called "love". (Thank God I'm not in my 20s anymore!!!)
Anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, that can reach these kids and make a positive impact on them should try. Somebody needs to tell them the truth and give them a dose of reality. When discussing a case where a girl filed rape charges a year after the event, some guys were saying that she had to be lying. My friend (a female) shut it down with "most every female you know – including your girlfriend – has had $3x (trying not to get trapped in the filter) when she did not want to, even with you". Even ADULT men had no idea that ADULT women sometimes want to say no but don't feel like they can/should. Young boys need to be mindful of that because younger women may be (I don't know) more likely to charge them.
March 27th, 2014
11:46 am
The message has been given to college students for decades. I mean I remember 20 years ago all the different sexual behavior related programs, information sessions, and other activities provided on college campuses including UGA, Tech, and Georgia State.
There used to always be some sex or alcohol related information session given in a common area, sponsored by some club, or given in a residence hall. The message is nothing new.
People are making a big deal about this because it's in a handbook for a sports team and somehow has been attached to minority athletes based on some posts. Are the non-blacks athletes somehow immune to sexual behaviors?
The fact of the matter is you see all kinds of crazy in college and with young adults in general. This isn't a young black athlete thing at all and anyone who thinks it is has their head in the sand.
Debating about whose place it is to tell young adults this message is another story but any father who hasn't told his son these things "off the record" isn't doing his job.
March 27th, 2014
12:46 pm
How many of you did something REALLY stupid when you were in college? (My hand is raised.) This is not a color or gender issue. Young people sometimes make poor decisions while in college. Thank you Techmom for sharing. I feel your pain. Our son has been with his girlfriend since HS. They are now 23 and 22. They are way too serious in my book. When she went off to college we knew his was staying in her room (his the older and was living on his own). You have got to hope that what you have taught him will hold true. Also, that he and his GF are both responsible for birth control.
We sometimes get so wrapped up in all the good things that our children do that we talk on this blog about the dumb, stupid or ignorant stuff that our teen-age and young adult children do. My son is far from perfect. I could tell stories but I know that I blasted as a horrible parent. We might actually learn from each other if there was less time blasting Theresa for her blog posts and decided to have a more honest dialog.
March 27th, 2014

TWG, sounds good, I'll report back tomorrow how our conversation goes.
Maybe we should also discuss what to do when you catch your kids doing something they shouldn't:
March 27th, 2014
1:14 pm
@jct – totally agreed. I'm sure we could all learn something from each other without being a-holes.
March 27th, 2014
1:38 pm
HB…the notes were actually sent to the address, in the husband's name. We will see what happens.
I know you think I am being horrendously old fashioned. As a general rule, the wife sets the tone for manners, in my generation. This also includes social settings: the women plan and implement the actvities and the men tag along. When I am out of town, I mention to my husband that he should check in with some friends and go out to dinner. This does not happen often, I enjoy getting together with all sorts of folks. Some have even asked me how I can be gone for a week ( as I am) and leave my husband home…really?
Since we got together, my husband has learned all sorts of things he did not have a clue about. I makes me laugh when he comes home to tell me stories about the things he hears and sees that are related to NO MANNERS.
My own family really did not have a broad handle on manners. We did know anout thank you notes. I learned things from being with others who were kind enough to share their ideas…of course I had to listen too. Tipping was not a skill I acquire from my own family.
Hopefully, this young family will understand that sending a thank you is a good idea. No, I do not think either of them read this blog.
Techmom…I did not have to deal with the sleep over thing with mine in college. My son's room mate ended up marrying his girlfriend and she was his HS sweetheart. A nice girl. Both finished college and are doing well.
Neither of mine had a steady boy or girlfriend in college. My daughter is currently too busy with school and work to breath ( as was my son) He can do what he wants, as he is on his own paycheck now.
Last 24 hours in Texas and ready to head home. It was fun though!
March 27th, 2014
1:51 pm
Techmom – why would your son's girlfriend sleep with him when he can say no too? Why is it always the girls fault and responsibility?
March 27th, 2014
1:52 pm
Interesting rules that are told like a parent, not an organization. Don't spend all your energy in bed. Young men of that age are rarely exerting that much energy. They are too…um…focused on themselves.
March 27th, 2014
1:56 pm
@Techmom…that story! Yikes! At least the boy wasn't killed like a boy in Houston. Daughter sneaked boy in, boy got caught (2 different stories, one being that he was caught in bed with the daughter), daughter LIED that she did not know boy, dad shot and killed boy. Dad said that boy reached in his pockets and dad was fearful so he shot him.
@MJG…you may not have had to deal with the sleep over thing but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I know I had a plenty o' sleepovers that Mama and Daddy don't know about even when I was too busy to breathe. (Steady boyfriend only, though.) And you know what? That's all a part of what happens in college. As long as you are SAFELY making your stupid decisions (smile), it all works out in the end.
March 27th, 2014

Hopefully it did not say "Hicky's" as the plural. If so, the athletic department needs a new pro

Well it goes back many centuries when women were expected to provide a heir for the family tree. If your daughter is sleeping with everyone how sure can the man be that the offspring is his. Of course we can take action to know after the fact but that involves contempory time. Do you understand now?

They did a study of how long men would last in a sex act. They tested men from every state and Ga men lasted 2min and 7sec. That does not seem like a lot of energy to me.

Not just horrendously old fashioned, MJG, but blatantly unfair and sexist. Do you apply the same attitude to your own children, giving your son a pass on showing gratitude, but not your daughter? Do you consider it more important as a parent to teach her manners than to teach your son? Is it ok to just wait and hope his future wife's parents raised her right so she can teach him and set the tone for their home? The part that really gets me is that you know the husband and his parents, that's your connection to this family, and yet you still save all your criticism for the young woman and her parents. That's messed up.

Lord help us…

All students who are in college certainly should know these things. But I'm glad that the schools are taking a proactive approach. Honestly, every student should be told these things. The freshman orientation process is different at every school. My friend's daughter attends a small private school in PA. All of the freshman were taught about mutual respect and respect for oneself. The girls were encouraged to travel in groups and not drink themselves into oblivion. Domestic violence was also discussed.
The athletes are making the schools a tremendous amount of money. I think that the schools need to educate these athletes in life skills, especially because they aren't all getting good academic educations.

@jan – I totally didn't mean to imply that it was only her choice. Certainly he can choose not to go that route and I hope he does but I'm not naive. I have talked to him until I'm blue in the face about protection and not to assume she's on bc. I have also said repeatedly that if he wants to play grown-up, he needs to be prepared to be one if she does get pregnant. I hope he listens.
Since we're going to talk about it on tomorrow's blog, I'll hold off on too details but I will say that my ultimate issue with the gf is that I think she is desperately seeking love and approval from a male figure. I don't think she will ever be in a position to have a healthy relationship unless she seeks counseling. I am sad for her and a little scared for my son because I don't think he gets that. Neither of them are emotionally mature enough to work through issues like this and I can only see the trainwreck that is to come.

I'm sure all athletes are given this speech. The football team needs to add things like no drunk driving or fights either. How many athletes have been arrested in the last couple of years?

I think that all college students are told this at one time or another, I think that UGA just took it a bit further and added it to the rule book. Sometimes lip service doesn't work. Putting it in writing may cause a kid to think before acting. Date rapes and Abuse happen all the time at colleges and they are not all done by athletes. Shoot it seems like Fraternities and Sororities get in more trouble than any other group. Maybe THEY should post these rules.
March 27th, 2014
3:10 pm
@WitchyWoman…you are definitely right about Fraternities and Sororities! We hear so many horror stories about what happens at the parties.
I know it happened when I was in school but it just doesn't seem like it was as often. Or maybe it wasn't as reported. Or maybe because we didn't have social media to spread all the information like wildfire. Either way, sometimes I feel like an old lady wishing for "the good old days", when, in fact, those "old days" were as crazy as heck and we were as stupid as these kids are, but maybe just a little luckier. Thank God there was no FaceBook or camera phones.
March 27th, 2014
5:06 pm
I think you have to realistically look at the kind of families some of these kids are coming from. A lot of them don't have fathers in the home, or are being raised by a relative, or they might have witnessed an abusive relationship between their parents. They might not have had an example set for them of how to treat a woman with respect. For every Tim Tebow-type with an intact, happy family, there are several others who had rough upbringings and for whom football/sports is the "way out" of poverty, etc.
I don't think UGA (or any university) is going to be able to completely undo 18+ years of what some of these kids have seen, but maybe a few reminders along and along will prevent a few bad situations.

@ HB…we have disagreed on many things before and that is ok. We come from different worlds and different generations. We typically have a different opinion.
I did order my son custom thank you notes, with his name on them, for those who kindly sent him a gift when he graduated from Pharmacy School. We requested no gifts but some sent them anyway. He also asked me to remind him who sent a gift and what their address was. He told me he sent them out, so I assume he did.
@Denise…you are correct that I cannot be sure what my kids did or do during college. I know my daughter has not had a spend the night guest. That may seem hard for you to believe but it is the case. My son did recently spend the night at the apartment of another pharmacist during snowmageddon. She is a colleague ( sp?) of his and was afraid to drive in the weather as she is from the south. He told us where she lived and that he did not sleep well on her couch…haha. He could not make it home to his house and thus stayed at hers. My kids are pretty forthright with us. They are also really adults so it is, in fact, none of my business.
True…there were plenty of things I did not discuss with my parents as we did not have the same relationship.

@FLNavyWife ^^^^ LIKE. You said what I have been thinking all day. Thank you!
March 27th, 2014
5:31 pm
@MJG – It isn't hard for me to believe at all. I know many who didn't have overnight guests. Like I said, until I had a boyfriend I didn't have them either. My point was that you may not have known if she had had such a guest, unless she tells you everything. I definitely did not have that kind of relationship with my mother.
March 27th, 2014
5:59 pm
MJG … what does your daughter look like?
March 27th, 2014
9:38 pm
That's great about your son, and I had thought you would have taught him to write the notes, so
I'm surprised we disagree. You still think people should expect less of him or your nephew when it comes to showing gratitude than they would a woman? I'm just trying to make sure I understand where we disagree — in your opinion, he is off the hook for notes if he marries and all complaints or criticisms for thanks not given should be directed at his wife (or your daughter and you as a parent if she marries) and that's perfectly reasonable?

Augusta, GA (WJBF) -- The Springlakes swim team has hosted a relay meet in Augusta for the past 25 years. The meet annually draws the best competition from around the region.
This year's meet will be extra special. The club has renamed the event after its founder, Pete Igel. Igel passed away last year at the age of 71.
Team manager Marianne Petras says 10 members of Igel's family will be on hand for Saturday's relay. She also says that there's no better way to honor Pete than to carry on the tradition he started.
The meet begins at 9 a.m. Saturday morning featuring four of the top club teams from around the region.
Igel's family will be presented with a plaque honoring his service to swimming in the CSRA.

When you want a query to ask for input every time that you run it, you can create a parameter query (parameter query: A query in which a user interactively specifies one or more criteria values. A parameter query is not a separate kind of query; rather, it extends the flexibility of a query.).
You can also create a form to collect parameter values. Using a form, you can:
Note You cannot use a form to collect query parameters in a web database.
This article provides an overview of parameters, explains how to use parameters in queries, and how to use forms to enhance your use of parameters.
You can use criteria in a query in Access to restrict the set of records that the query returns. Consider the following scenario.
Suppose you have a query named Last Order that returns the names and addresses of your customers together with the date when you shipped their most recent order. Recently you added some exciting new products to your inventory and catalog. Every time that you ship an order, you include a copy of the current catalog. You expect that the new products will be very popular, and you want to make sure that all your customers know about them. You want to mail a new catalog to all customers who have not already received one in a shipment.
So you want to create a mailing list that contains the names and addresses of those customers whose most recent order was shipped before you produced the new catalog. To do this, you apply a criterion to the ship date field of your Last Order query. The criterion specifies that the date in the ship date field comes before the date when you started distributing the new catalog, for example, 3/31/2006. When you run the query, you get a mailing list that contains only those customers who have not received a new catalog.
But what if this situation happens again? You could modify the design of your query by changing the value specified by the criterion, but wouldn't it be nice if your query could ask you for a date and then use that date to decide which customers to include on the mailing list? You can make your query do this by using a special kind of criterion, called a parameter.
You may find the dialog boxes that are provided by a parameter query to be insufficient for your purposes. In such cases, you can create a form that better meets your parameter collection needs. This article explains how to create a form that collects report parameters.
This article assumes that you are familiar with creating queries. At a minimum, you should be familiar with creating a select query before you continue.
For more information about how to create a select query, see the article Introduction to queries.
This article provides examples of using parameters in queries. It does not provide a comprehensive reference for specifying criteria.
For more information about how to specify criteria, see the article Examples of query criteria.
Top of Page
Using a parameter in a query is as easy as creating a query that uses criteria. You can design a query to prompt you for one piece of information, such as a part number, or for more than one piece of information, such as two dates. For each parameter, a parameter query displays a separate dialog box that prompts you for a value for that parameter.
[Start Date]
When you run the parameter query, the prompt appears in a dialog box without the square brackets.
You can also use an expression with your parameter prompts, for example:
Between [Start Date] And [End Date]
Note A separate dialog box appears for each parameter prompt. In the second example, two dialog boxes appear: one for Start Date and one for End Date.
You can use the preceding steps to add a parameter to any one of the following types of queries:
You can also add a parameter to a union query.
If a WHERE clause already exists, check to see whether the fields for which you want to use a parameter prompt are already in the clause, and if not, add them.
You may want a little variability in the way your query applies a parameter. For example, you might want a query to accept a text string and match that to any part of a field. You can do this by using the Like keyword in combination with wildcard characters. For example, you might want your query to prompt for a country/region of origin, but to match whenever the relevant field value contains the parameter string. To do this:
When you run the parameter query, the prompt appears in the dialog box without the square brackets, and without the Like keyword or wildcard characters.
You can also use the Like keyword and wildcard characters to specify that a parameter should match the beginning or ending of a field value. To match the beginning of a field value, omit the quotation marks, the wildcard character, and the ampersand (&) that precede the opening square bracket. To match the ending of a field value, omit the ampersand, the quotation marks, and the wildcard character that follow the closing square bracket.
You might want to collect a parameter, but instead of having the query return rows with a matching value, you want the query to return rows for which some other comparison evaluates as true. For example, you might want to prompt for a year and then return rows where the value of year is greater than the parameter string. To do this, type a comparison operator to the left of the first square bracket that encloses the parameter prompt, for example, >[Year:].
You can also specify what type of data a parameter should accept. You can specify the data type for any parameter, but it is especially important to specify the data type for numeric, currency, or date/time data. When you specify the data type that a parameter should accept, users see a more helpful error message if they enter the wrong type of data, such as entering text when currency is expected.
Note If a parameter is configured to accept text data, any input is interpreted as text, and no error message is displayed.
To specify the data type for parameters in a query, follow these steps:
Although parameter queries feature a built-in dialog box that collects parameters, they provide only basic functionality. By using a form to collect parameters, you gain the following features:
Follow these steps to create a form that collects parameters.
A new module opens in the Visual Basic Editor.
Function IsLoaded(ByVal strFormName As String) As Boolean
Dim oAccessObject As AccessObject
Set oAccessObject = CurrentProject.AllForms(strFormName)
If oAccessObject.IsLoaded Then
If oAccessObject.CurrentView <> acCurViewDesign Then
IsLoaded = True
End If
End If
End Function
The OpenForm action appears and displays a set of arguments.

NL Central Rankings of Ultimate Power (May 12)
I've been meaning to do this for a while, but as per usual, my time has been at such high demand and those daily transatlantic flights have really been taking it out of me. I'll try to update this every Monday as the Cubs tend to have most Mondays off throughout the season and it seems to be the unofficial start of the new week.
Since everyone with an Internet connection likes to do "power" rankings (whatever that means), I figure we can do them too. While most experts like to rank all 30 teams, I have neither the time nor the care for anyone outside of the NL Central. Hell, I barely care about any outside of the Cubs, so the other five losers in the division should feel lucky I've even mentioning their name. Especially you Houston...good lord do I hate everything about how you choose to be (more on that later).
Also, for fun's sake, we'll compare my rankings to those of the Tribune's Phil Rogers. Here's how he ordered the division this week: Cards, Cubs, Brewers, Red, Pirates, Assblows. Let's get started.
1. St. Louis Birds on Artificially Manufactured Wooden Sticks (20-12)
Gotta respect what the Cards have been able to do here early in the season. Clearly they have the best hitter in all of baseball (a title you probably don't want to have these days) and their bullpen has been surprisingly good. Although the Cards have cooled off over their last 10 games (going 5-5), they have a favorable schedule coming up. STL is 12-5 at home (only the Dodgers and Red Sox are better in their own parks) and 17 of their next 26 games are at Buschhhhhhhhhhhhh.
2. Chicago Cubs (17-14)
So the blue and red flag might fly below three others tonight in the NLC standings, but that really doesn't mean dick when you're only 2.5 games out of first place. While some of us might be a little...distraught...over the current incarnation of the Cubbies, I'm cautiously optimistic if not encouraged. The team has been relatively spoiled the last two years as most of the big names have avoided injuries, but now it is all starting to pile on at once. A cause for concern? Hell yes, but look where the Cubs are. Two and half out with a team made up of guys who were getting PT in Iowa this time last year. If Lou can get the right chemistry in the bullpen and/or the Cubs can get their big names back and swinging, the rest of the division might want to invest in a pair of Oops I Crapped My Pants.
3. Cincinasty Reds (18-14)
I absolutely refuse to give Dusty Baker any sort of credit for this team's decent start, so let's not even think it's possible that Baker has somehow worked his magic on a club that will most likely falter in about a month. Sure, they just finished an impressive series against the Cardinals, but this team confuses me dearly. First of all, they are 7-9 at home and 11-5 on the road (best road record in the majors). Do you really think they will be able to win like this all season? Oh, and try to figure out this logic. The Harangutan has a 2.93 ERA and a 3-3 record while Bronson Arroyo is 5-2 with a 7.02 ERA. Argh, DUSTY!!!!!!!!!
4. Chicago's Northern-Most Suburb Brewers (18-14)
What did I learn from the latest series between the Cubs and Crew? I learned that Ryan Braun is really dangerous but also a little school boy biatch (Oh no poor Ryan, did the scary Canadian with the goatee throw the ball to close to you? Let me taste your tears). I learned that even though the Brewers were at full strength for that series, they really aren't that much better than half a Cubs team. I learned that as long as the Brewers trot that bullpen out there on a daily basis, they will never win this division. And I learned that my George Foreman Grill does not cook my chicken evenly (I didn't learn that from the series, but I was making some dinner during one of the games and needless to say I was disappointed).
5. Houston AssTrolls (14-17)
I could analyze Houston's most recent performances...or I could list all the reasons what I hate them: I hate how Miguel Tejada has to clap his hands furiously after he does anything that is remotely decent. I hate how Hunter Pence looks like he running around with suitcases in his hands. I hate how the Astros thought it was a good idea to have Russ Ortiz, LaTroy Hawkins and Mike Hampton on their team all at the same time. I hate how they have not one, but two players on their team named Geoff (Blum and Geary). Most of all, I hate how Lance Berkman looks like Tony Stewart and both are considered "elite athletes."
6. Pittsburgh Pirates (12-19)
I haven't had the chance to take a good look at the 'Rates this
season since they have yet to play the Cubs, but losing your last 9
games cannot be good for business (at least that's what I've
been told). Maybe the Pirates decided they were playing too good and
decided to go into a slump so they could attack under the cover of
mediocracy? The last thing Pittsburgh wants to do is gain any sort of
attention so opponents start taking them seriously, right? Well played
Pirates. Well played indeed.
The Brewers bullpen
"I learned that as long as the Brewers trot that bullpen out there on a daily basis, they will never win this division."
Seriously? The Cubs didn't score any runs off the Brewers' bullpen, except for when they threw Julio out there, 'cause he's the worst reliever and the Crew was up by 7 anyway, so it was a mopup situation. I'm a Brewers fan, but I will conceed that winning the division would be an uphill climb for us, and right now we're having some good luck that'll probably regress a bit, but the bullpen really isn't looking like it's going to be a problem.

Microsoft's Wireless Optical Desktop Elite is a solid and affordable choice for the home or the office.
Apple bundles its Wireless Keyboard with every new iMac because it matches the computer's strengths in terms of minimal design and simple functionality. While some may bemoan its lack of extra features, the Apple Wireless Keyboard does the job and looks good doing it.
The Logitech Wireless Keyboard K350 stands out for its comfortable ergonomic touches, an easy learning curve, affordable price, and unique Unifying connection. We have minor issues with the placement of the media controls, but heavy typists will appreciate what Logitech has to offer.
While the full-size keys are nice, the Targus's dimensions and cumbersome installation trip up an otherwise good keyboard.
Apple's Wireless Keyboard is the perfect choice for anyone with a Bluetooth-enabled Mac. Just make sure you have the right OS first.
The HP Deskjet 450wbt offers full-size prints, excellent photo quality, portability, and wireless Bluetooth and IR printing, making it a good buy for businesspeople on the road a lot.
The latest Gyration Air Mouse Elite is a welcome relief from "mouse arm" and works well as a presentation device for intermittent use, but it lacks the flair of other pointing solutions. You'll certainly find satisfaction in the Gyration Air Mouse Elite if you're just getting into the gyroscopic market, but if you want the best of the best, we recommend spending more on the Logitech MX Air.
This mostly biodegradable "green" keyboard ships soon for around $99. And yes, it's made out of real bamboo.
Pricing not available
With its built-in solar-powered battery, the sleek Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 will save you money in the long run and is a better deal than Apple's Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard.

The second largest newspaper in New Hampshire endorsed Mitt Romney today. Hopefully, that, along with John McCain's endorsement of Mitt earlier today, will help him to get a very strong finish in New Hampshire.
Here's the conclusion of the newspaper's endorsement:
For us, evaluating a party's potential nominee for president is much like interviewing applicants for a job opening. We check their resume. We look them in the eye and evaluate how they respond to our questions during their meetings with our editorial board. We observe how they conduct themselves on the campaign trail and in the televised debates with their peers.
When we put that all together, we can come to no other conclusion than Romney has the intelligence, business acumen, political skills and leadership ability to earn our endorsement as his party's nominee for president.
And, with it, the right to compete head-to-head with our Democratic president come November, giving voters a clear choice on the future direction of the nation in the process.

The Passionby Jeanette Winterson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Passion is a modern classic that confirms Jeanette Winterson's special claim on the novel. Set during the tumultuous years of the Napoleonic Wars, The Passion intertwines the destinies of two remarkable people: Henri, a simple French soldier, who follows Napoleon from glory to Russian ruin; and Villanelle, the red-haired, web-footed daughter of a Venetian boatman, whose husband has gambled away her heart. In Venice's compound of carnival, chance, and darkness, the pairi meet their singular destiny.
"A Historical novel quite different from any other...it is written with a living passion, an eyewitness immediacy....Winterson is a master of her material, a writer in whom great talent deeply abides." Vanity Fair

Rejoice! No Gloom in Doom
Voices, December 14, 2012
The Keynesians have 'fine tuned' us right into a $14 trillion U.S. debt load (Latin American, government, public, corporate, junk bond and consumer, etc.). They have deficit financed the longest 'recovery' in history. We are now seeing the signs of potential inflationary pressures and since 1913 there has never been a reduction in inflation without a recession or depression. The economy is so much more leveraged now than it was in the 1981-1983 recession, that when the Fed finally restricts reserves, as it must, the world will suffer the most turbulent times of this century. All debts have to be paid, either by debtor or creditor if the borrower defaults. Who will pay the price? Inflating our way out of this debt won't work today as it did in 1932. Instead, there will be rampant bankruptcies. Wealth will be destroyed to pay the price for what amounts to irresponsible loans against future production.
That was Victor Sperandeo talking. That also was 1992, eight years before the end of the last century, not this one.
"Trader Vic" is a trader, index developer and financial commentator born in Queens and now living in Grapevine, Texas. This "doom and gloom scenario" is from a chapter he wrote in Albert Rubenfeld's search for secrets of the best minds on Wall Street, "Super Traders."
Of course, 1992 did set a then-record for an annual deficit in the United States, when the federal budget ended up $290.4 billion in arrears. That put the U.S. portion of the load Sperandeo described at $5.6 trillion.
But there were no rampant bankruptcies. Instead, the nation went into eight years of great expansion, after Bill Clinton came into office on the idea that what matters is "the economy, stupid." When he left office, the nation registered the third of four surpluses in a row, at $236.4 billion.
Now, you'd have to think, the rampancy of bankruptcy is much more nigh. The annual deficit peaked at $1.4 trillion in 2009 when the task was saving the nation's economy altogether. It's still expected to hit $900 billion this year. And the U.S. debt has hit $16.3 trillion.
"Doom and gloom" thinking has pervaded trading ever since the broad whack of the financial crisis in 2008 and the specific whack of the Flash Crash in May 2010. Profits are even a fourth of what they were four years ago for the traders who only bet on the future for less than a second.
But that's why we probably should rejoice, as the new year is born. The future has a habit, as Sperandeo's scenario proves out, of obliterating forecasts that the end is at hand.

Great Kickboard for my daughter

Good cap for exercise/rec--serious training use is a ?
By EQB from San Francisco, CA on 9/20/2014 8:06:06 AM
I have long hair and before used a combo of hair ties and Lycra caps. I have trouble with other materials pulling my hair. So I tried this one and now bought a backup. No ties. Easy to use , others in the gym covet it and I send them here . Only problem- sometimes during very vigorous training it will begin to slip. It's easy to fix and never comes completely off. It doesn't happen all the time so I have to wonder if I am not quite putting it on right when that happens.Bottom line-if you have long hair and are taking a class, doing workout laps, or rec swimming, I highly recommend this cap. If you are a competitor training hard or competing, you likely need something tighter.
Best for unshorn, long hair

It's a boy for Backstreet Boys ' Howie Dorough and Leigh , his wife of five years. On February 16, the couple celebrated the early arrival of their second son Holden John , People magazine reports.
"Holden surprised us by arriving three days ahead of schedule at 6:37 a.m.," Howie tells the magazine. The baby weighed in at 6 lbs., 15 oz. and 20 inches long, and Howie says, "Holden is healthy and we couldn't be happier... My beautiful wife Leigh and I are so proud to welcome our son to the world."
During the interview, Howie had only praise for his wife, saying, "Leigh is such an incredible woman and mother... I feel so lucky to have such an amazing family." Equally excited about the new arrival, says Howie, is Holden's older brother James Hoke , 3 1/2.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Wisconsinites who install solar energy systems could lose part of their savings on their reduced electric usage, if they haven't already. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says some of the state's largest utilities are beefing up their fixed charges -- the amount which all customers pay, regardless of their energy usage.
We Energies has asked the state for permission to raise its fixed charge from $9 a month to $16. Wisconsin Public Service proposes a doubling of its fixed charge to $25-a home for home customers, and a tripling to $35 for businesses.
Also, We Energies and Wisconsin Power-and-Light want to reduce what they'll pay customers for solar power starting next year. The Journal Sentinel says falling prices and better technology have made solar energy a much better bargain than it used to be -- and the higher fixed charges on electric bills are designed to have those customers pay their fair share of things like power lines and sub-stations.

NICHCY's Structured Abstract 63 describes the following:
Title | Educational Environments for the Pupil with Behavioral Disorders: A "Best Evidence" Synthesis
Author | Schneider, B.H., & Leroux, J.
Source | Behavioral Disorders, 19(3), 192-204
Year Published | 1994
Reviews 25 controlled studies comparing the progress of children with behavioral disorders* in different educational settings. Pupils in self-contained special programs displayed greater improvement in academic achievement than their counterparts in regular classes. However, the reverse pattern applied to changes in self-concept. Findings regarding behavioral improvement were more inconsistent. Follow-up data include enormous fluctuation in the success of special programs in assisting youngsters with behavioral disorders to reintegrate successfully into regular classes. Findings show that youngsters with behavioral disorders require more support than is available to the regular classroom teacher unassisted by at least resource room personnel.
Students with behavioral disorders often have deficits in self-esteem and academic abilities in addition to their behavior problems. This analysis explores the question of what environment (e.g., a self-contained special education classroom or a general education classroom) is most beneficial to students with behavioral problems in terms of their self-concept, academic success, and behavior.
Research Questions
- Do children with behavioral disorders show greater academic gains in regular or special education classrooms?
- Does the behavior of children with behavioral disorders improve more in regular or special education classrooms?
- What is the effect of being in a regular or special education classroom on the self-concept* of students with behavioral disorders?
Research Design
Best-Evidence Synthesis*
- Number of Studies Included | 25
- Number of Subjects | 1,270
- Years Spanned | 1962-1986
Research Subjects
The subjects were students with emotional and/or behavioral disorders between the ages of 6 and 16 years old. The majority of participants were boys (approximately 85% on average in the studies that reported gender).
Age/Grade of Subjects
The majority of studies focused on children between 8 and 12 years old. However, a few studies also included students under 8 or over 12 years old.
Specified Disability
Behavioral Disorders. Learning Disabilities (LD). Emotional Disturbance (ED).
Students with behavioral and/or emotional disorders were placed in different educational environments (i.e., regular classroom, self-contained classroom, separate special education school, or treatment center/hospital) and compared in terms of academic achievement, behavior, and self-concept.
Duration of Intervention
- Students with behavioral disorders required more support than could be provided by a single unassisted regular classroom teacher.
- Most students with behavioral disorders required ongoing support for a number of years and had difficulty fully reintegrating into the regular classroom environment.
- Special education classes (e.g., resource rooms) and special education schools had larger positive effects on academic achievement and behavior than regular classroom settings.
- Students taught in regular classrooms had the largest gains in self-concept.
Combined Effects Size
The results of this study were displayed as bar graphs, so the effect sizes* can only be estimated. The studies that used random samples of students with emotional and behavioral disorders showed weak to moderate effects (between 0.20 and 0.40) in favor of special schools or resource classes over regular classrooms. The authors cautioned against interpreting the results of the studies that used nonrandom or nonequivalent samples.
The studies in this meta-analysis were conducted before inclusion was widely practiced in U.S. public schools. There is a need for new research now that schools have more experience integrating students with behavioral disorders and other special needs into regular education classrooms.
This meta-analysis found that, overall, students with behavioral disorders improve more academically and behaviorally in special education settings, such as resource rooms and special education classrooms, than they do in regular education classrooms. It is in regular education classrooms, however, that students make the largest gains in self-concept.
Schneider and Leroux suggest that research should be conducted on how to improve the self-concept* of students served in special education settings in order for those students to benefit from the academic and behavioral support of the special education environment without reducing their self-esteem.
The reverse of authors' suggestion may also be effective—determining ways to provide successful academic and behavioral supports to students with behavioral disorders in regular education classrooms. This latter approach could allow students to be educated in the environment shown to be most beneficial to their self-esteem without reducing their academic and behavioral achievements.
* Best-Evidence Synthesis | A research method that combines a meta-analytical approach to synthesizing quantitative findings with a narrative review of related qualititative studies.

LiB does B2B
On Sunday, LiB completed her first race ever. Bay to Breakers is an annual running/walking/beer-drinking/nudity-showing/costume-wearing race held in San Francisco, run from one side of the city to the other (from the bay to the ocean). It's the oldest concurrently run footrace in the world. An astounding 70,000 people participated this year.
The weirdest part was all of the tortilla-throwing at the start line before the race. We're talking hundreds & hundreds of tortillas being whirled like frisbees at people. The running Elvi were amusing, as were the hundreds of other costumed individuals (and non-clothed individuals).
Since LiB doesn't run (unless something big & nasty is chasing her), she walked it with her partner. And she finished 2,069 out of around 70,000. *moment of pride* It was a big deal for me. Thank you for letting me share it with you.

This Earth Day Should We Be Weeping or Cheering?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Earth Day cometh -- the 43rd year of this national focus on the state of our globe. So, how is Earth doing? Should we be weeping ... or cheering?
The first step to any recovery is recognition of the obvious: Earth has a problem. In fact, beaucoup of them. For example, despite the squawking of profiteering polluters and professional deniers, our very atmosphere -- without which everyone and everything is dead -- is rapidly being degenerated by our own addiction to fossil fuel, literally altering Earth's climate in disastrous ways. Yet, as we burn, energy corporations blithely fiddle.
They're fiddling with tar sands oil in Alberta, Canada, uncaring about the vast amounts of ozone-destroying carbon that will be released by ripping open Northern Alberta's boreal forest to get at the junk oil, or about the extra carbon-dioxide contamination that will come from processing this especially toxic sludge at Big Oil's Gulf Coast refineries.
Also, they're fiddling with the Earth itself, by fracking deep underground shale to bring gas and oil -- plus more ozone-depleting methane -- to the surface. And they're still fiddling with the priceless ecology of America's ancient Appalachian Mountains and streams by exploding off the mountaintops -- merely to make it easier and cheaper for Big Coal to extract the ozone-killing carbon.
There are plenty of horrors to make you weep this Earth Day. But tears don't bring change. That comes only from the determined effort of ordinary grassroots people to organize, strategize and mobilize. The good news for our Earth and our own existence is that such people are on the move in every part of America. They're confronting the greedheads and boneheads, creating effective energy alternatives, forging fresh and sensible polices, lifting heads out of the sand -- and producing the change we must have.
The courageous and tenacious mountaineers of Appalachia, for example, are at last beginning to score big victories in their long, hard fight against the coal giants, including winning an agreement last November from one, Patriot Coal, to cease all mountaintop-removal coal mining.
Also, from Vermont to California, the frackers are getting fracked, as local groups are winning fights in city halls, legislatures and courts to stop the rampant exploitation of their land, water and communities. And, all across the country, including in the reddest of red states, grassroots advocates are producing a sensible shift from fossil-fuel dependency to renewable fuels and conservation.
That's what Earth Day is about, so don't weep -- cheer the progress we've made, and join the movement for more.
In fact, some communities are going so far as to imagine achieving "net zero." That's the wonky name attached to an elegant idea, namely a conversion to total renewable energy, complete recycling and a culture of conservation to bring humankind's carbon footprint into a sustainable balance with a healthy earth.
Now, imagine the least likely place you'd expect this net zero ideal to take root -- and even flourish. How about oil-saturated Texas? Yes! On an Army base, no less. Astonishingly, America's sustainable energy future is being pioneered in El Paso on a sprawling military base named Fort Bliss, home to 35,000 soldiers.
The post already has a 1.4 megawatt solar array and rooftop solar panels on all base housing (generating 13.4 megawatts of energy), and it's in partnership with El Paso Electric to complete a 200-acre, 20-megawatt solar farm by 2015.
It also has a plan with the city of El Paso to convert the post's waste into energy, and it's engaged in wind, geothermal and conservation projects. Adding to the effort, base officials are encouraging the use of energy-efficient vehicles -- and even building bicycle lanes throughout the base.
