Emerging markets will need to become the "main source of global demand" if economic recovery is to continue, leading economists said yesterday
Emerging markets will need to become the main source of global demand if economic recovery is to continue, leading US economist Barry Eichengreen told Emerging Markets yesterday.
Everything hinges on whether consumers in Korea, or China, and elsewhere continue to spend going forward, said Eichengreen and thats a gamble. If emerging market governments begin to cut back too soon on stimulus, global growth could stall, he added.
Eichengreen, professor of economics and political science at the University of California, Berkeley, spoke to Emerging Markets at the end of an Institute of International Finance seminar at which leading economists painted a gloomy picture of global prospects.
Their views contrasted sharply with the upbeat assessment set out yesterday by the IMFs International Monetary and Finance Committee, which declared that all the components [of a global recovery] are in place.
Eichengreen and other speakers all but ruled out the prospect of a V-shaped global recovery and pointed instead to host of problems that could stall it.
New York University economics professor Nouriel Rubini told the seminar that the global economy is on the floor and trying to rise. But, he added, we are stuck in a problem and we are not going to be able to resolve it any time soon.
Eichengreen talked of the gloomy prospects for an upturn, especially in advanced economies. Consumption figures in the United States and other advanced economies are better but still bad, he noted. The US is looking to export more on the back of a weakening dollar, he noted. But where is the demand going to come from?
The key to this demand lies with emerging market economies, he suggested. Roubini agreed that the role of the US a consumer of last resort is over for the time being.
There is a glut of production capacity in the global economy and countries such as China are adding to this, by devoting much of their fiscal stimulus to new investment, he said. Only public demand is keeping things going, Roubini suggested.
He and others emphasised that now is not the time for fiscal and monetary stimulus to be withdrawn in advanced or emerging economies. But on the other hand there are dangers of courting inflation if stimulus is continued for too long, Roubini noted. There are policy risks in doing anything too soon or too late.
The decision by a joint venture between Russia and China to invest up to $2bn in key infrastructure projects will relieve the pressure on the Russian government to attract funds to offset the massive flight of capital
A leading politician in Georgia last night condemned Russia's annexation of Crimea and intervention in Ukraine as fears mounted among other small CEE states, notably Lithuania and Estonia, that Moscow could take fresh steps to intervene in countries with large Russian speaking populations

The Russian government's decisive moves in annexing Crimea and fomenting unrest in the Ukraine have fuelled fears among neighbouring states with large Russian-speaking populations
An imminent signing of a $500m loan by Uralkali, the world's largest potash producer, has not convinced bankers that Russia's frozen international loan markets is anywhere near thawing out

Plasmas and magnetics!
|Share this thread:
Oct21-04, 08:11 AM
Questions garanteed to have you doing right handed impressions of rap artists by the end!
Now I am much happier with electronics, I decided to start reading about magnetics. However, I'd appreciate any help you could provide with a few things I'm thinking about.
First of all - coils.
If I wrap a piece of wire round and round into a helical solenoid shape, I get magnetic poles at the 'open' ends - the top and the bottom if your coil is vertically inclined.
The flux here is trying to move between points on the same plane in the same axis.
Now imagine if I was to take the coil an begin wrapping a new coil, identical to the first, with the original - forming a coil from coiled wire. From what I can tell, the coil should now have two dimensions of 'activity' if you like - as the original coil will be emitting a field, but the field forming coil is, it's self, in a coil formation. Where would the magnetic poles appear with the new coil?
One step tricker... how about winding this coil into another new one. To give the coil three dimensional activity?
Begin rapping!
Another thing that was confusing me was plasma reactions.
The Joint European Torus (JET) here in England is experiementing with fusion reactions.
As it's name suggests, the JET reactor is a toroid - A donut shape. It's a jamless toroid.
The reactions occur at hundreds of millions of degrees, so they can't touch any part of the reactor, otherwise it'll melt. So the reaction is plasma based and magentic confinement is used to lift the plasma off the walls of the reactor.
Okay... the easy part first.
Imagine you're looking at the reactor from above it or underneath it, so it looks like a donut on a table. If you have flux flowing clockwise or anticlockwise around inside the donut, you have something very similar to the core of a toroidal transformer - which is great at concentrating flux inside it's core and not emitting it as noise, since it's a sealed magentic circuit.
Now imagine you slice into the donut and look into it so that you are looking at a circular shape - looking at what's happening inside it.
If the field is coming towards you, or moving through you and into the donut cross section infront of you, the arrangement is very similar to a particle deflection chamber.
If a charged particle was place into the field, it would try to spin or deflect around the circumfrence of your donuts circular cross section. Because the particles in the plasma are positive nuclei and negative shell electrons, one set will spin clockwise, and the other anticlockwise.
As both have a component of force trying to push them around inside the toroid, they will form a helical shape with flutes going clockwise and anticlockwise.
This is ignoring the fact that the flux it's self is flowing in a helical pattern inside the toroid's core - but I'm not sure if that makes a difference since it's polarity is not changing.
This kind of containment would be useless on it's own. All a flux like this is doing is making the plasma spin inside the core. If anything, that would cause a centrifugal effect that would push the plasma out towards the walls of the reactor right?
So, I started thinking, perhaps they have some other kind of coil arrangement to push the plasma back off the walls instead?
But, how could it possibly push both halves of the plasma away from the walls at the same time?
If the plasma is a usual thermal or cold plasma, it will contain positive and negative charges.
Keeping things as simple as possible, if the magnetic containment is of a stationary polarity, it will contain one charge whilst simulatenously attracting the other.
I know that these reactors currently have problems with plasma leaking out of the field. That can't be due to the methodology of the containment though since fifty percent of a neutral plasma would be leaking out. Which would probably melt the reactor in a few seconds. So it must be due to the real world practical limits.
Imagine a single hydrogen atom. Split the electron away from the proton. In an alternating magnetic field, taking only their charge into account, there should be no net change between them. One will move one way, field changes polarity, it moves the other way to the same extent.
The only difference would be their mass, and so, how rapidly they would respond to the polarity changes. I don't like that idea though because it seems far to rough.
Now I'm left wondering how they manage the effect.
Would it have something to do with the poloidal field that is also in use?
I hope you enjoy thinking about these!
Best wishes!

Essentially, if I put a magnet near a plasma, what will happen to it?
Is the entire plasma going to bend as if it's a single conducting wire, or are the separate charges in the plasma going to separate?
If they separate, how can they be confined?
If QFT is so much more advanced than classical physics, these questions should be easy for you to answer right?
Oct22-04, 08:51 AM
eeka chu,...
Zz ain't no QFT-guy.
Plasma physics is mainly described by classical physics and at best in a semi-classical way, just like laser-physics...
Plasma's can be confined by surrounding toroidal magnets.
Oct22-04, 09:20 AM
Suppose you have a plasma in some torus with long axis R and small axis a. The poloidal coordinate p is used to describe the surface of the torus and the toroidal coordinate t is defined perpendicular to the great axis.
To clarify : suppose the great circle with radius R is in the XY-plane and the torus is created by putting a little circle of radius a perpendicular to the XY-plane.The centre of this little circle is placed onto the great circle's circumference and just move the little circle 360° around the z-axis.
Now t (in the XY plane) is the angle between the x-axis and some point on the great circle. p is the angle between the XY-plane and some point on the torus-surface.
The torus will have a circular current on the surface called the poloidal current. The magnetic field will be toroidal. This magnetic field will cause the plasma to move outwards the torus (because of the Hall-plasma-effect) and in order to compensate this effect an extra magnetic field component is introduced : the poloidal component. Basically this component causes the magnetic field to have a torsion just like the fibres in a rope. These helical field lines are caracterised by the so called safety factor q. This factor expresses the MHD-stability of a plasma by stating that the helical field lines must be closed "on each other". This means that they must connect each other along the entire torus-surface so there are no openings for the plasma to escape...
please, do feel free to ask more clarification if needed...

2. You are NOT just putting a magnet near a plasma. Reread what you originally posted. You want a time-varying magnetic fields. This is where I pointed out the fact that you have ignored the self-interactions that occurs within a plasma. The plasma ITSELF generates E and B fields that it interacts with! These effects can be catastrophic in a constant magnetic field. So think of how NASTIER it can get in a time-varying magnetic fields! This is what mentioned as one of the things you simply did not include in your toy model.
3. QFT? More "advanced" than classical physics? Where did THAT come from? None of the stuff we have talked so far have anything to do with quantum mechanics - which was my original question in this thread, no?
Oct23-04, 09:58 AM
I am taking reference from JET's diagram here -
This helical pattern within the plasma will be due to the toroidal coils causing the charge of the plasma to deflect. If the plasma is electrically neutral, it will contain both positive and negative charges. So, does that mean that the pattern will be a double helix? One set of charges flowing clockwise in the helix and the others flowing anticlockwise?
The poloidal coils in JET's diagram are shown as the inner and outer most coils - the inner most coil being used as the primary of a virtual 'transformer' and the plasma it's self forming the secondary. As I increase the inner poloidal coil's power, I pump more energy into the plasma and increase it's density.
The JET diagram shows the out poloidal coils as encircling the torus's outer circumfrence. How would these coils, and the inner poloidal coils, actually be wound? I'm guessing as rings - like a cylinder around the torus's perimeters?
The JET piccy refers to the poloidal coils as pumping and shaping coils.
If I was to increase the power to the toroidal coils placed around the toroid it's self, would this increase the constriction of the plasma, it's 'safety factor', or would it simply increase the helical pattern in the plasma?
To perhaps simplifying the geometry, I remember hearing that a lot of the earlier experiments used something that looked a lot like an straight electromagnetic coil without a core - the wire wrapped around a nail kind. Would this arrangement have 'squeezed' the plasma off the coil by just increasing the coil's power, or would they have needed more complex magnetics?
Best wishes,

Last year, Ed Sheeran teamed up with Elton John to perform at the Grammy Awards. Now, Elton has invited Ed to be the special musical guest for his annual star-studded Oscar viewing party, which will be held March 2 at West Hollywood Park.
In a statement, Elton said, ""I am absolutely delighted to welcome Ed Sheeran to [our party]. I've been following his work closely ever since I heard his independent EP...He's an amazing artist, and I know our guests will be thrilled by his performance."
Elton's annual Oscar party raises funds for the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Over the more than two decades it's been around, it's raised nearly $40 million to support the Foundation's projects.
Saying he's "thrilled" by the invitation, Ed adds, "HIV/AIDS is a huge concern for all young people, and I'm delighted to do my part to raise funds for Elton's vision of a world without AIDS."
Ed is managed by Elton's company, Rocket Music. He'll also be contributing a cover version of Elton's classic "Candle in the Wind" to an upcoming deluxe repackaging of the rock legend's landmark 1973 disc, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II with 24-105mm Lens and MKE-400 Microphone
Canon's update to the wildly popular full frame EOS 5D is here, and it's better than ever. The EOS 5D Mark II has a stunning 21.1-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor with DIGIC 4 Image Processor, a vast ISO Range of 100-6400 (expandable to ISO L: 50, H1: 12800 and H2: 25600), plus EOS technologies like Auto Lighting Optimizer and Peripheral Illumination Correction. It supports Live View shooting, Live View HD videos, and more. It can shoot up to 3.9 fps, has 9 AF points plus 6 AF assist points, a 98% coverage viewfinder, a 3.0-inch Clear View LCD (920,000 dots/VGA) and a rugged build.The EOS 5D Mark II features a huge, full-frame sensor. A 21.1-megapixel CMOS sensor delivers images of up to 5616 x 3744 pixels. And since it is full-frame, all lenses will deliver the angle of view they would on a 35mm camera without a conversion factor. This comes in handy especially when shooting with wide-angle lenses. For the flexibility to shoot in even the most dimly lit situations, the EOS 5D Mark II offers Canon's highest ISO sensitivity to date, ranging from 100-6400 (expandable to ISO L: 50, H1: 12800 and H2: 25600). Thanks to improved noise reduction technologies, images shot even at highest sensitivity will be remarkably smooth.The EOS 5D Mark II is the first digital EOS to offer recording of Full HD video in Live View Mode. Capable of shooting clips almost half an hour long at full 1080 resolution, the EOS 5D Mark II does amazing double duty, making it possible to shoot broadcast quality video on your camera by simply changing settings. Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor speeds up all operations, making a number of features such as Face Detection Live mode, HD video recording and lighting and lens peripheral optimization possible. The EOS 5D Mark II also offers full 14-bit A/D conversion resulting in significantly finer tonal gradation for better prints.Canon has given the EOS 5D Mark II a sophisticated AF system consisting of 9 user-selectable AF points, along with a total of 6 additional vertical and horizontal AF assist points. The central AF point is cross-type, and is sensitive to vertical lines at an aperture of f/2.8, horizontal lines at f/5.6. The AF system is also sensitive to its light source, and can compensate for focus errors that can occur when multiple sources illuminate a scene. AF points can be chosen by the photographer using the 5D's multi-controller or preferred control dial. Plus, the EOS 5D features a dedicated AF ON button. Also, The EOS 5D Mark II has a rugged high performance 3.9 fps shutter designed to withstand 150,000 exposures. Combined with its impressive build quality, this shutter ensures that the EOS 5D Mark II will thrive in challenging shooting environments.With the Live View Function on the EOS 5D Mark II, you can zoom in and navigate the composition 5x or 10x normal size. The Live View Function also makes videos in Full High-Definition. Shooting is at a frame rate of 30 fps. Sound is recorded either through the camera's built-in microphone or through an external microphone connected to the camera's microphone input terminal. Playback modes are available in the camera, and all Live View AF features can be used in shooting video.The 3.0-inch Clear View LCD features a high-resolution of 920,000 dots/VGA for far more detail than any previous EOS Digital LCD. Anti-reflection and water-repellant coatings provide a clearer and more smudge-resistant surface and a light sensor mounted below the screen enables automatic brightness adjustment in accordance with ambient light.Canon's Integrated Cleaning system includes a cleaning unit designed specifically for the EOS 5D Mark II's full-frame CMOS sensor. The camera's low-pass filter even has a fluorine coating upon its surface to help repel dust.

A new innovation partnership scheme has announced by European Commission: for 2013, €365 million in EU funds have been earmarked for the development of 'smart' technologies in cities.
The European Innovation Partnership (EIP) will see private business and the EU executive pool research from energy, transport and ICT to develop a limited number of approved projects.
Examples of mooted projects included silent electric city buses that use digital technology, satellite technology aimed at improving traffic flow, a smartphone application for reserving alternative fuel rental vehicles, and fast charging mechanisms for electric vehicles.
Six development banks proposed financing new sustainable transport investments to reduce carbon emissions.
The EU communication on the scheme said improving the efficiency and sustainability of European cities was a vital commitment for 2020 targets since urban areas consume 70% of the EU's energy, while about 1% of the entire region's GDP goes towards congestion costs.
Neelie Kroes, Commission vice president responsible for the Digital Agenda commented "Smart cities are green cities" and said introducing new technologies to cities could take some time, due to "strong vested interests, and a resistance to breaking down barriers" in sectors like ICT, transport, energy, healthcare and waste management.
The Commission EIP communication also said that Europe had scarce resources for experimentation, and stressed it would be looking at the projects that were most cost-effective.

Have you heard the myth that black cats are unsafe in October, in part because witches may try to adopt them for rituals? We sure have. But guess what? Top ASPCA experts agree that it's just not true.
Unfortunately, the truth is kinda scary, too: Year-round, black cats are the least likely to get adopted in shelters across the U.S. In fact, black animals in general take more time to find homes, says Gail Buchwald, Senior Vice President of the Adoption Center.
At the ASPCA, we LOVE black kitties. (Some of our friendliest cats, like Marissa, are black—yet Marissa has waited more than nine months to find a family. What's up with that?)
Aside from the most important reason to adopt black kitties—that they really need extra help finding homes—here are a few reasons to take home one or two:
- Their fur won't show on your little black dress.
- You can tell your kids you adopted a mini panther.
- Black cats go with everything.
- In most cultures, black cats are a sign of good luck.
- You already know black cats are awesome—you have one at home! If you've got a great black kitty, tell us about him or her in the comments. You just might persuade someone else to give these felines a little extra attention.
We have a black cat that adopted us exactly one year ago. Being the owner of a Doxie and yellow lab, I was concerned when he started coming around. He kept hanging around and the dogs began to accept him. Today he is just as much a family member to us as the dogs are. I can't imagine him not being a member of the family now. He loves to be scratched and is such a loving cat. He sleeps and eats with the dogs, and greets people at the door as if he is the host. Don't let the color of the fur scare you, ours has brought nothing but good luck to us.
Coming from celtic Britain, Black Cats have always been seen as being very lucky; e.g. if you receive a charm braclet - for a gift - a black cat charm should be the first charm on the jewellery - I have found that if a black cat crosses my path - I'm usually in for a big, nice surprise and for me is a fortunate omen - all my life this has been the case...One of my most affectionate cats was a pure black male cat named sooty - he was a darling and folowwed me every where - like he was protecting me...They make good hunters if you need a hunter by the way;-) Enjoy the luck which will flow your way....
My niece had 2 sister kittens from a litter her cat had. She was planning to take them to a rescue group, but I became the rescuer. One is all black and one is tiger striped. My sister named the black one BatCat (I've chosen Onyx but that doesn't seem to be sticking...). BatCat and Primrose are so hysterically funny when they're playing and I never know what state my house will be in when I get home from work. They love to eat popcorn with me while I'm watching a movie, and like two little babies, they have to be near me when I'm sleeping or getting ready for work in the a.m. I'm so glad I took these two litle girls. They are so entertaining. Black cats rule!
Hi. I agree that black cats are sweet--I adopted one last September that was a stray to protect him, but not from witches! Witches, AKA Wiccans, DO NOT use animals in rituals or harm them in any way! The rule Wiccans live by is "And it harm none, do what ye will". They respect life would not sacrifice animals. I agree that there are people out there who are dangerous to cats, especially black cats around Halloween, but it is NOT Wiccans who are doing this!
My black cat Spooky has lived with me for 6 years. He's super friendly and loves people who come to vist. He's also a lover boy and loves to be kissed. I love hime to death and wouldn't part with him for anything. Black cats rule!!
My sweet black boy is the most affectionate, laid back of my two cats. He has had some medical problems this summer but is so patient when I have to medicate him. In the evening he head butts me from the back of the couch and sleeps curled up against my legs. Did I mention, he is also beautiful !!
I had a black cat given to me years ago she was so awesome excellent mouser and absolutely loved attention. I lost her last year in a tornado in Oklahoma but she had lived 14 wonderful years before that. If I ever get another it will be just like my Gracie...
First time ever having a black cat. Our male black cat "Sammy Lee" who s now 2 years/2 months old, became part of our family after our 6 year old Calico "Nala" had to be put to sleep due to illness. Out of the 5 mamma cats, black, 2 gray, yellow tabby, who had litters at the same time, Sammy won my heart when he snuggled into my folded arms. I was told he was a loner and stayed mostly to himself and would have to fight over food w/ 20 other kittens.. I plan on getting a black female kitty next. I LOVE black cats now. Please adopt & give black cats a chance in your heart & in your home. I'm sure you will enjoy them greatly. WE DO. :) :) :)
I heard the old wives' tale about black cats being bad luck and therefore harder to adopt at shelters. So I immediately went to our local shelter and chose an all-black cat. He has the most beautiful green eyes and is the swetest cat ever!!! I then adopted a young black kitten who has gold eyes. They are just gorgeous!! And I now have 9 cats (3 black ones) and though I love them all dearly, the black ones are the best behaved and sweetest. Go to your shelter now and adopt a black cat/ktiten!!!! You won't be sorry!
As a cat lover when a year old (approximately) black cat appeared I started leaving food for him. One day I found him curled up next to my front door with puncture wounds on both sides of his body evidently from a dog. The vet shaved his body from his shoulder to his hips and sutured both sides. At first he was kept in a large cage on my covered deck since I had 2 indoor cats and he needed to be protected. Eventually,after his hair grew back, I brought him in the house. Occasionally he would go out for a few hours but came right back until one night. After searching the neighborhood I feared the worst. Much later the next morning he appeared with one leg obviously injured.
After a vet specialist put a pin and 13!! screws in his back leg Spooky never set foot outside again and is the sweetest, easy-going, most loving purr-machine ever.

Keep track of all the latest news and events on developer tools and technologies you care about
Phil Leggetter is a Developer Evangelist at Pusher and has been working with realtime web technologies for over 10 years. Phil has a passion for these technologies and the engaging realtime user experiences that they can help deliver. He's also a strong believer in great customer service and the Thank You Economy.
A WebSocket connection (a TCP socket connection over the Web) starts its life as a HTTP connection that is then upgraded to a WebSocket one as part of the client/server handshake. Once this connection has been established data can instantly be sent from client to server and server to client. WebSocket server implementations and the APIs they provide can vary but the WebSocket client API has been defined in a specification document and WebSocket client libraries in all languages tend to follow this specification whilst maintaining language conventions.
The following example shows a connection being established in JavaScript, a message being received, a response to that message being sent from the client to the server and the WebSocket then being closed.
var ws = new WebSocket("ws://mywebsocketserver.com:80");
ws.onopen = function() {
// connection established
ws.onmessage = function(data) {
ws.send("Yep, got that.");
ws.onclose = function(evt) {};
ws.onerror = function() {};
Note: the WS:// scheme represents an unsecured connection and the WSS:// one for secured.
One of the first questions people ask when looking at WebSockets is about browser support. We've already seen that all the major browser vendors are adding native support. But, as we all know, some users won't have the latest versions of these browsers and either don't want to or cannot easily upgrade. The most commonly used solution to this problem is to use the websocket-js library which checks to see if the browser supports WebSockets and if it doesn't loads a Flash object which provides the API and WebSocket connection mechanism. This is frequently referred to as 'Flash fallback' and this would also be possible using Silverlight. This technique is known as a polyfill, a practice that is becoming ever popular and helpful, and thanks to the WebSocket polyfil the majority of web browsers can use WebSockets now. Here's a very basic example of a Polyfill:
if(window.WebSocket === undefined) {
// load fallback polyfill tecnology.
// add a reference to the Polyfill object
// which implements the WebSocket interface
window.WebSocket = PolyfillWebSocket;
If installing a WebSocket server and dealing with browser fallback doesn't interest you then there are services available, such as Pusher (who I work for), that make getting started really simple.
Now that we understand what a WebSocket is and how we can use it, I should now address the most important question; why should you use WebSockets? (and unfortunately "they're cool!" doesn't tend to cut it when trying to explain the business benefits to your boss).
As already mentioned 'Realtime Push' functionality has actually been around for a while; over 10 years in fact. It has mainly been used in the financial sector for delivering pricing for the stock market, news notifications and as a key component of web trading applications. The requirement in this sector hasn't changed and WebSockets will now become a fundamental part of such applications.
Outside of finance we now have a vast amount of instantly available rich information from sources like Twitter, Facebook, the WordPress Firehose and Digg which we can now integrate into our applications and deliver that content instantly to our users. We have an increasing demand from users that the information presented to them in their application must be instantly up to date, and if new information is available they must be alerted about it and that information must be pushed to them. Users no longer want to have to refresh the web page to see if new information is available. This level of user experience has been set by Rich Internet Applications and our applications must strive to also achieve.
But a more fundamental shift has occurred with the introduction of sites and services such as Facebook and Twitter. There is now an expectation from users which can only be accomplished through interaction and collaborative experiences with other users. And this is what WebSockets can help us deliver. WebSockets make it much easier for us to integrate not only realtime push, in the form of news, activity streams and notifications, but also collaborative and interactive experiences such as chat, live-blogging and commenting, synchronised TV and mobile computing experiences and games which significantly increase user engagement and add a stickiness to web applications that was previously very difficult to achieve.

Is Salman Khan's idea of incorporating video in education the key to solving existing budget cuts? Is it learner friendly? Differentiated?
Many states are dealing with budget cuts in education. What would the cost be to incorporate video education or online course work? What would the teacher-student ratios be in the classroom? What about student mastery and assistance? What about struggling students? Is it time to change our curriculum format? What grade levels could we target?
Perhaps a healthy blend of video, live lecture and modeling followed by hands on activities would be best.
Also, in business we can return bad products due to our own quality assurance standards. In public education you cannot. Students are diverse in their own prior knowledge and abilities.

Apr 12 2011: I can't answer all of your questions but I do know quite a bit about costing for production of videos for classrooms.
What would the cost be to incorporate video education or online course work?
The costs depend on several factors:
1. Production Quality. Are you going to just have a teacher in their classroom speaking into a camera or do you plan on incorporating animation/actors into the course.
2. Are you creating a new curriculum? If so the costs can be quite high because you are essentially creating an online textbook.
3. Is the video course intended to replace a teacher completely or to complement the teacher? If it is just going to complement the teacher then the costs are obviously lower.
From my experience video is never free because it takes time and skill to put them together. That said it can be very cost effective because they can be used again and again for most subjects.
What grade levels could we target?
In my opinion, and from experience, the ideal grades to target are junior high/high schools.
I personally think that video could be an ideal way for schools to expand what courses they offer. (i.e. AP courses)

The pool is part of the 2 next door properties that are closed and look really run down.Maid service was incomplete the second time they cleaned the room. The coffee area always looked dirty as did the common use microwave.
It is a sweet little Manor. It definitely was a great find for our first trip to OC. It was a two room suit which was perfect for our family and very affordable. It was just 2 minutes from the boardwalk. We wished that they would have served breakfast
The air conditioner needed to have the filters changed. The rooms where very musty. It would be great for them to invest in new towels and different soaps.I don't think we will go back or that we would recommend to a friend but we LOVED the location and we loved the beach! The manor next day also looks broken down. I know they are renovating in but it looks kind of creepy.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. They upgraded us to a "suite" since we were staying for a few nights so we had a little more space. There was a small kitchen with a fridge and a full stove that I would never use. Also no pots or anything to cook with. Location was decent, very quick to get to the beach/boardwalk and restaurants.
The room had a very strong disinfectant smell that lingered on my clothes even after we left. The room was clean enough but the bed was very small (maybe a full?). The wifi was free but slow. You know what you're getting with this place and it's fine if you don't plan on spending much time in your room.

The location is the only positive thing! We didn't use the pool, but it looked nice. Others had mentioned that the staff was rude, that wasn't the case during our stay. Everyone was pleasant.
The room was as clean as it could be, but it was old looking. An attempt was made to update the decor, but the furniture is beaten up. There was an old, musty smell; even though my clothes were in my opened suitcase, I had to wash the 'clean' clothes.The AC could not be adjusted, and was motion censored, which makes sense. If there isn't anyone in the room, then why run the air? However it will not come on during the night unless someone gets out of bed and activates it! The faucet in the bathtub was the strangest one I've ever seen. It needs to be lifted and turned at the same time, and it was extremely hard to adjust the temperature of the water. So hard in fact we didn't turn it off in between our showers. It wasn't the worst hotel we stayed in, ...

Bethanie Storms Past Safarova In SFs
Published September 18, 2010 12:00
QUÉBEC CITY, Canada - In a week where the favorites just haven't been able to keep up with their challengers Bethanie Mattek-Sands put the final nail in the coffin, sending the last seed standing home in an absolute demolition job in the semifinals of the $220,000 Bell Challenge on Saturday night.
Mattek-Sands had lost both of her previous meetings against No.3 seed Lucie Safarova in straight sets but she changed all that in just 54 minutes on Court Bell, scoring some 62 61 revenge on the big-hitting Czech left-hander.
"Bethanie just played too well," said Safarova, who was runner-up to Melinda Czink here last year. "It seemed everything she got her racquet on went in."
Mattek-Sands was the runner-up to Nadia Petrova at this event in 2008.
Earlier, Tamira Paszek continued to burn through the draw, cruising past fellow teen Christina McHale, 62 62. McHale, at 18 years the youngest to reach a Sony Ericsson WTA Tour semifinal this year, was overpowered by the 19-year-old Paszek, who reached her third career final and will go for her second title.
"She was a tough opponent. I didn't know what to expect," said Paszek, whose first title came at Portoroz four years ago. "Everything seems to be finally fitting together this week. I'm feeling healthy."
Paszek has now won seven matches in Québec City, three in qualifying and four in the main draw. She hasn't lost a single set during the week.
McHale was complimentary in defeat. "She played very solid," McHale said. "I was under pressure to go for more as she had an answer for everything it seemed. I had a good week though. I'm disappointed now, but I'm pleased to have made my first quarterfinal and semifinal here this week."
Mattek-Sands and Paszek will be playing each other for the first time.

One of the most startling revelations I've had during my parenting experience is discovering that some of my friends have very different parenting philosophies than I do.
And while I'd like to think that how they parent their kids shouldn't really affect our friendship, it can really complicate matters, especially if what they choose to do something that feels morally wrong to you.
Cough SPANKING Cough.
But over the years, I've learned a few ways to cope with some of my friends' different parenting styles. And if you've got friends who drive you nuts with how they parent their kids, these might work for you too.
1. No more playdates
I quickly learned that if I wanted to remain friendly with several of my own friends, I had to stop having playdates with them. I realized that we were completely fine and happy on a girl's night out or a grown-up only party, but when kids were involved in close quarters, I just couldn't hack it.
Of course, it's rare that I have the opportunity to get a GNO on the calendar, but maybe your friendship with this particular person is reason to make those happen more often.
2. Don't discuss parenting issues
For the most part, I understand that everyone has the right to his or her own parenting philosophy (though I admit I have no tolerance for spanking). So when you remove that from the equation, it's much easier to be friends with someone. Granted, parenting takes up the majority of my life right now, but on the flip side, it's important to give yourself a little break from talking about your kids, and having a friend who has different views can be the perfect excuse to rekindle your relationship with your pre-mom self.
3. Decide if it's really worth staying friends
The truth is that parenting changes people. And if you feel as though you can't remain friends with them, then sometimes it's best to just part ways, especially if it's causing you a lot of stress and heartache. There's a good chance that you've changed as well, so it's important to look at yourself as much as the other person involved, but if you feel as though your kids' safety might be compromised if you're interacting with your friend and her kids, or you feel as though your values will be disregarded by meeting up with her, it could be time to just cut ties.
What do you do if your friend has a parenting style that's completely opposite of yours?
Photo via Flicker/1derwoman
I'm a grown up. I have the ability to think for myself and I don't have to care what others think of me, unless I want to. I will parent my children how ever I want- and I will even parent your children if they need it. If you don't like me or my ways, then I really don't want/need to deal with your drama. Not important enough to me!
I honestly don't care how others parent their children either, unless they seem to be hurting them (of course) and I just don't find myself ever having an issue like this... it seems petty and childish. I have many friends who do things very differently than I do- again, why would I care?
People are so petty.
I have a friend that does not believe in spanking and I do, we both respect that of each other and no I will not spank her kids, I will do as she wishes while they are in my home and the same goes for her. You don't have to give up a friendship if your parenting styles are different. Respect the others wishes, Now if you feel you need to step in then do so. If those kids are in your home and running all over you then it is your right to express yourself.
Like Tuffy unless you are abusive I try to mind my own business. But I have one friend that I just told I want to cut all contact off with. There are some shows you don't want front row seats for.

I think most of the Alliance's problems in this regard stem from it's lack of proper leadership. As others have noted, the symbol we use is the symbol of Stormwind and it's bellicose idiot of a monarch who wouldn't know diplomacy if it ganked him on a PVP server. We should be using the symbol of Lordaeron, the funny LP thing; it looks badass, and back in WC2 it was gold on white. Awesome.
I was so bloody annoyed after the Battle for the Wrathgate, when Alexstrasza says "take Bolvar's shield to your King" ... right on, I'll take that straight to Magni. Wait, you want me to take it to Mr. Angry in Stormwind? I didn't vote for him! He only loses out on the title of the Alliance's Worst Ruler because Mekkatorque managed to irradiate his own capital!
Dwarves, now, have an excellent warcry and an excellent symbol in that hammer-anvil-and-mountain thing. FOR KHAZ MODAN! Even my Draenei pally has a decent warcry; DEATH TO THE DEAD! DEATH TO THE DAMNED! VENGEANCE FOR ARGUS!
My night elf warden - uh, rogue - an alchemy-addicted psychotic killing machine who thinks that Tyrande is a criminal, Malfurion is a fool, and Fandral is a jerk - also has an excellent battle cry, borrowed from the great Maiev Shadowsong in WC3; THE GUILTY SHALL SUFFER!
Gnomes ... well, they don't have the battle cry or the symbol, but they're the most advanced technological civilization since the time of the Titans, and they will simultaneously freeze and burn your behinds if you underestimate them because they look cute.
And yet somehow the humans' idiot king got to be de facto leader of the Alliance? Pfeh.
I am hopeful that when the Cataclysm comes, we can see Genn Greymane - a leader ruthless, cunning, and intelligent enough to properly run the Alliance, not to mention A FREAKING WEREWOLF - take over the reins from Stormwind's idiot manchild.

Lost but Not Forgotten: Attrition and Follow-up in the Indonesia Family Life Survey
AbstractData from three waves of the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) are used to examine follow-up and attrition in the context of a large scale panel survey conducted in a low-income setting. Household-level attrition between the baseline and first follow-up four years later is less than 6 percent; the cumulative attrition between the baseline and second follow-up after a five-year hiatus is 5 percent. Attrition is low in the IFLS because movers are followed: around 12 percent of households that were interviewed in the first follow-up had moved from their location at baseline. About half of those households were 'local movers.' The other half, many of whom had moved to a new province, were interviewed during a second sweep through the study areas ('second tracking'). Regression analyses indicate that in terms of household- level characteristics at baseline, households interviewed during second tracking are very similar to those not interviewed in the follow-up surveys. Local movers are more similar to the households found in the baseline location in the follow-ups. The results suggest that the information content of households interviewed during second tracking is probably high. The cost of following those respondents is relatively modest in the IFLS. Although the analytical value of reinterviewing movers will vary depending on the specifics of the research, we conclude that, in general, tracking movers is a worthwhile investment in longitudinal household surveys conducted in settings where communication infrastructure is limited.

Marine Corps Air Station...
10/3/14 - 10/5/14
Working outside the lines of a singular practice, James Enos wears the role of artist, curator, social activist, educator, public programmer and more. Urban Entropy is an ornate record of work made during Enos' time in graduate school from 2002-2005 at The New School of Architecture and Design and from 2006-2009 at The University of California San Diego, with the remainder of the works opening into the progression of his post-graduate school practice. Within his multi-disciplinary practice compiled of sculptures, drawings and socially programmable architectural structures, Enos discusses an often invisible side of our landscape. Focusing on questions of civic identity and collective strategies for social change he gives a poignant critique of what he describes as urbanization's fundamental aesthetic problems.
Mega Exhibition Reception
Saturday, November 16, 6:00 to 8:00 PM. In conjunction with four concurrent exhibitions that also focus on the subject of the landscape. Complimentary for OMA members, $10 for nonmembers.
Akin to the variedness of his artistic career, Enos holds multiple degrees including: a master's degree in architecture and a subsequent master's in studio art. Enos' master's degree in architecture is a prominent influence reflected within the tight construction and precision seen in each work. No matter if you are inspired to look further into how your city is constructed, zoned and aesthetically considered, or if you enjoy the calming beauty of his work's repetitive forms and symmetrical balance, you will come away with new considerations of the word 'landscape'.

These are great. I substituted half soy half seasoned rice wine vinegar for the fish sauce. Really good, even the picky eaters in my house loved them. Great cold as well!

Those white hands at the stairs are creepy but everything else is really awesome.
love the kitchen!
Awesome space. Wish i could keep my house that clean and organized.
Love the kitchen sink and your kitchen. However as I'm clicking through, pictures 3, 4, and 5 seem like a different house than pictures 1 and 2.
Very fun and bright. Love the kitchen and all the colors!
I love the hands
The hands are creepy, but funny. And I love the bright colors!!
This is my favorite house on Apartment Therapy.
Is that a dishwasher to the right of the kitchen sink? So tiny.
Great colour choices!
this is darling! especially the kitchen.
great use of color. i envy your boldness.
Adorable kitchen!
I love the kitchen. And the kids room is fun.
You are not afraid of color, eh? Neat home. My favorite is the kitchen sink, too. One question, where's your fridge? Also, do you really have a music/lounge room? Such a luxury use of space with kids. (Also, Ikea is almost a necessity with kids, no no points off for that) :)
can i ask the make of your teeny dishwasher?! thanks!
Wow, you love the color red! Understood. I'm most drawn to your kitchen though, I love that blue and that is a beautiful sink.
@scarlethue: good, that didn't throw just me!
I like the hands, though I wish one were a right, so it'd be the same person taking the oath while crossing the fingers. It looks like there's not any additional counter/cabinet/workspace in the kitchen -- HOW do you manage that? *feels guilty about her loads of both, despite poor layout*
Thanks everyone for the kind words and constructive feedback!
My kitchen is really a love hate relationship. I love the sink, but as a renter I really am unable to make permanent changes. My landlady wants to sell it to me, and If I bought it, I would definitely make some changes to the layout. I love to cook, and I have found that my kitchen is not as practical as it could be. As far as having the sink open on the bottom, I actually like that. It is very easy to clean, and I have lots of room for recycling and composting in the summer.
My dishwasher is a Danby and it is so tiny, I almost don't see a point in having one: http://www.zbrands.com/Danby-Mini-Dishwasher-Danby-DDW1802W-18-Inch-Built-In-Dishwasher-P1356.aspx
My family is very musical, so we decided it would be best to have a dedicated area for that. My children can play throughout the whole house, so I figured my girls could share a room since it is really only for sleeping and time-outs. I grew up sharing a room with my sister, and it was not a huge problem.
As you can see, I really LOVE color. I wanted my kids to have a vibrant and interesting home to grow up in, and I actually let my 5 year old help me with many of the design choices. It was interesting to find that my daughter's favorite book to browse through before bed was the Ikea catalog. She was really proud of some of the things she helped me with, and I think it brings a level of comfort and realness to our home.
The hands are a gift from my sister, and I thought they gave a whimsical feel to the stairs. As one of you mentioned, I also wish that i had a left and right hand rather than two of the same!
I love the color in the home that is balanced by the wood floors. I imagine the brightness of the colors is quite reflective of the personalities in the home! I very much appreciate how much warmth and individuality your family, as renters, put in the space. Thanks for the inspiration.
coming closer to actual "cool"...
I like your kitchen, too, Catherine. And, since you mentioned your love/hate with your sink:) You could always add a fabric skirt around it to cover the pipes, it would also give you extra storage. However, I like the exposed pipes, too. There are many "modern" lofts that have exposed pipes, and people prefer that look.

Tara Discusses Her Current Reign As TNA Knockouts Champion, Just How Close She Was To Retiring From Professional Wrestling, What Her Fans Can Expect To See From The Release Of Her New Documentary ("Tarafied"),Her Secret To Staying In Tremendous Shape, Why Working With "Mr. PEC-Tacular" Jessie Godderz Is More "Fun" Than Anything, His Bright Future In iMPACT Wrestling, Where She Believes The Direction Of The Knockouts Division Is Headed, What She Would Like To See Happen For The Knockouts In 2013, Why She Feels The Current Crop Of WWE Divas Do Not Deserve The Criticism They Receive, The Overall State Of Women's Wrestling Today, Her Fondest Memories Of Working With Torrie Wilson & Trish Stratus And How They Played An Instrumental Part In Her Early Career, The Opening Of Her New Restaurant In Chicago, Plus Much More In Her Exclusive Monday Night Mayhem Interview

TNA Knockouts Champion Tara was the featured guest on this week's edition of the award-winning Monday Night Mayhem, hosted by The Big Mosh, "The Chairman of the Board" Todd Vincent, and "Wild" Bill Brown. The first edition of "Your Home of Wrestling Radio" for 2013 is now available for FREE download, exclusively on the WrestleView Radio Network:
Tara/Monday Night Mayhem Interview (MP3 Streaming Audio): http://www.wrestleviewradio.com/WVIP_Preview/mnm010713.mp3
Interview highlights courtesy of WWEDVDNews.com's Aaron Carnevale, MNM's National Correspondent:
The experience of teaming up with "Mr. PEC-Tacular" Jessie Godderz in iMPACT Wrestling: "I love to manage. It is so much fun working and bouncing stuff off of each other, being goofy, and being able to entertain. At the same time, I can still wrestle. It also allows me to get my body a little bit of a rest while watching him wrestle. It is so much fun. I can't express how much fun I'm having."
Why she believes the current WWE Divas should not receive the criticism that they do: "It's not their fault. They have some great talent over there (in the WWE), but you cannot tell a story in four minutes with two entrances. We're lucky to have that much time on television to do it. I hope they get more time in the future, because they aren't getting their opportunity."
The direction of the TNA Knockouts division and where she sees things headed for the Knockouts in the new year: "I love where we are going. I think we're going to see some new faces, new feuds, and maybe a new style of wrestling. We have an awesome creative department that are huge fans of the Knockouts division. You'll be seeing a good year, honestly."
Much more is contained in Tara's interview with Monday Night Mayhem, including her candid thoughts on just how close she was to retiring from professional wrestling, her current reign as TNA Knockouts Champion, why she believes the future is very bright for her man in iMPACT Wrestling, what her fans can expect to see from the release of her new documentary ("Tarafied"), the overall state of women's wrestling today, her fondest memories of working with Torrie Wilson & Trish Stratus (and how they played an instrumental part in her early career), her secret to staying in tremendous shape, the opening of her new restaurant in Chicago, plus so much more!

What pisses me off about this whole Gearscore debacle is how people think it sucks because it "can be abused". Really? Seriously?
These are the people who want to sue McDonalds because it made them fat. Potential for abuse does NOT mean it's bad.
The people who abuse Gearscore are bad. The addon itself isn't.
And don't give me the old "it doesn't take enchants/itemization in account" arguments. The latest version of Gearscore does ALL these things. It analyzes your gear in the same way Be Imba or WoW-Heroes does and if you look at the /gs inspection screen for a person, it actually gives you 3-4 gear scores, one for each potential spec/role the class can play.
Most classes get 3 gearscore bars on the GS inspect screen now, one for each spec, with a % scale showing how optimally itemized they are for that spec. Druids and DKs get 4 bars, FeralDPS/FeralTank/Resto/Balance for druids and Frost/Blood/Unholy/Tank for DKs. Mousing over each bar shows you how the person's current gear itemization influences the Gearscore for that spec. There's also a large box below the bars showing the complete summation in list form of all the stats that the character is getting from its current gear.
I require minimum GearScores for my raids, because it does a good job of accurately reflecting the quality of a person's gear. I also boot people from my raids who underperform despite great gear. I also invite people who don't meet my base GS expectations if I know they are capable of outstanding performance despite it.
Hate the abuser, not the addon.
