July 21, 2011, [MD]
This was my first year attending the bi-annual CSCL conference, which this year happened to be at the Hong Kong University campus. I was very excited, since I had been reading papers by many of the people who would be attending, and it would also be the first time I'd be in Hong Kong (and later China) with my supervisor, and people from my university.
Although the actual core conference only lasts for a few days, I began my participation with two days of pre-conferences, attended post-conference events in both Guangzhou and Beijing, and even the doctoral summer school in Beijing that was affiliated with the conference. Thus, my earliest notes are from [[cscl11:leveraging_tool_support_for_the_analysis_of_computer-mediated_activities|the pre-conference on machine learning and data analysis on July 4th]], and my latest ones fromGerry Stahl's]][[cscl11:past_present_and_future_of_research_on_educational_technology_in_the_westwhich I mentioned above was organized byCarolyn Penstein Rosé]and her post-docGregory Dyke]], and discussed tools to analyze computer-mediated communications. We got training in using [[t:Tatianawas about connecting levels of learning, organized by [[:a:Daniel D. Suthers|Dan Suthers]],Chris Teplovs]], [[:a:Marten de Laatfrom Google Research opened the conference with an interesting keynote on augmented social cognition, with several neat cases from his work with access to huge data sets. From the conference sessions, I managed to capture two very interesting sessions on technology-enhanced interactions & analysis ([[cscl11:technology-enhanced_interactions_analysis|1]], [[cscl11:technology-enhanced_interactions_analysis_ii|2]]), and one [[cscl11:mupemure|session on MUPEMURE]], a "Model of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning with Multiple Representations".
There were some very interesting presentations about the future of Knowledge Forum in the Guangzhou post-conference, which I did not manage to capture (but check out these slides 1, 2). I did get some notes from two of Gerry Stahl's presentations, one [[cscl11:cscl-*two*case_studies|describing two case study analyses he did]], and one on [[cscl11:past_present_and_future_of_research_on_educational_technology_in_the_west|the history and future of CSCL]].
I'm looking forward to the International Conference on Learning Sciences next year in Sydney (CSCL and ICLS alternate every other year), where I hop to present a paper on open learning environments. I'm also planning to dig into all the notes I took, and all the connections I made, read more papers, etc.

An attempted armed robbery at a Whatatburger in Northeast Houston shortly before midnight on Wednesday morning ended with the robbers leaving empty handed.
According to witnesses, two male suspects entered the dining room of the Waterburger at North Loop and Homestead, 15 minutes before closing and asked for an employment application.
That employee at the cash registered then turned her back to the get the application that's when the suspect pulled out a gun and demanded money from inside the register.
The female employee told the suspect she couldn't because she didn't have the key. The suspects didn't argue but just fled the restaurant in a champagne colored sedan.

your subject line to email marketing success
Email marketing has become a mainstay to achieving success in business. Many businesses really appreciate the huge return on investment that email marketing affords its users. Despite how successful people are when using email marketing software, many are missing out by not knowing how to effectively use their subject line.
Just about everyone who uses email knows about the subject line. It's the little bit of information that is displayed along with the 'sender name' when an email lands in someone's inbox. Some email programs show the sender name, subject and a preview of the message, while other email programs only display the sender name and subject. In these latter scenarios, the subject is an even more vital part of your email marketing campaigns because that may be the single biggest factor in determining whether or not someone will open your email marketing campaign.

Backpacked Linville Gorge
Wedding (Charlotte, NC)
Retreat (Lynchburg, VA)
Weekend with the Fam
It's only been 3 weeks into break and God has been such a boss. Here's to another epic summer.
On this Easter Sunday a very long time ago, a man did a great feat. He overcame not just death but everything of this world. All his haters, all his followers, and even all his friends didn't know what he had in store for them. That very same resurrection that overcame lives in us. I'm asking for your prayers on this Easter Sunday as my pops lies in ICU. We can overcome as a people and we can overcome because Christ lives in us. I'm asking for the hope beyond hope which was seen on the cross and gives us life today.
Sellout my soul for the $$$. I'm talking $$$
Follow my passion for the sake of humanity
Same stress, different types of success
Or could I just have it all?
Naw I think that's a lie. I just gotta be me. Wish me luck.
I threw out my back today. I am officially old.
I finally got a chance to sit down and do finances for my parents. All I can say is how the heck are we living? My mom has about $30 bucks leftover every month after her disability check. My pops has about $120 after all bills. How the heck am I living so well? It makes no sense at all. It's time to reevaluate a lot of things.
8 lives that touched mine were lost this past year.
I'm glad I had 8 friends/uncles/cousins haha.
A year filled with trials and stretched my mind and heart to places I have never imagined.
I give thanks to big poppa up there for allowing me to feel.
Allowing me to have emotions.
Allowing me to challenge myself in more ways than I ever could.
I come into 2012 more human than ever. More humble than ever but stronger than ever.
Werd to big bird.
it starts..christmas status updates…
It's pretty crazy how much I've become so in tune with my emotions and the world around me these past few years. It seems like almost everyday I start reminiscing about these college days and how I'll miss it. I appreciate the time it has allowed me to come into my own skin. (Yeah, I'm personifying college and if I could give it a big high 5 I would.) I know I still have a bit of time, but the feeling of inevitable change is something you can't just run from. Change is always good, but it's the worst feeling when it breaks something that feels like it shouldn't be broken. But that's life. From struggle comes triumph and that's what i'm all about.
Recently, I had one of my buddies pass away in a car wreck. He was a solid guy, always smiling and just an overall swell dude. When I found out, I was torn with emotion. It's just one of those things where your heart and mind just go back and forth. I was to be sad for the brother and the family. I mean the guy just passed away, but there was some deeper emotion within me that really had a sense of sorrow.
So for a little while I was struggling with the idea of heaven and hell. YEAHHHHH I know it's the most basic of things, and I don't want to sound like a noob, but in reality, there is not a lot said about heaven and hell in the Bible. I read a bit of Love wins and a bit of erasing hell (look up both books if you wish) and I still couldn't come out with a solid conclusion. I truly believe in God's Love. I just can't figure out the process of how we as man justified who exactly gets in to heaven or not. Even the idea of what exactly heaven and hell is. I could basically go on forever about this, but it's just the fact of there is so much we truly do not know about this idea and we go around condemning people or saving they're "saved." How do we truly know this 100% though? I guess it's a faith factor but for me I want to be sure of something 110% before passing on the information to other people. The idea of heaven being a place where all this awesome stuff happens would be ideal, but I'm pretty sure no one I personally knew has been there to tell me exactly what it is. For all we know it could just be more of the same as this place. Just saying, keep your mind open because there is truly not a lot we know about heaven and hell. If I'm wrong please correct me and if i'm not, I'll find out what it is one day.
Anyway, so it hit me. I knew he wasn't in this "saved" category. Did that mean he was in hell?
Boom. My mind is now in shambles. These feelings have never bothered me before until it happened to someone I knew. My relationship with the Lord has grown, but I'm confused to what it means to bring it on to others. Do I go around "saving" people? I try to share the love and joy unto everyone, but is a speaking a few words of a prayer sufficient for an eternal salvation? I know it's not that simple so what is even the point of me in this bigger picture? I know I must let God be God but was I the guy who could have made that difference? I don't want to make this whole Christianity thing about heaven and hell but how do you give an honest sense of comfort to a grieving family that does not believe in Christ? Can you really just go up to them and say, "Your son is in hell." We can say God can do whatever he wants, but if we act on what we preach, the reality is that hell is for the nonbelievers. I can't say it's fair. I can't say it makes sense. I can't even say that statement is the 100% true. But I can say is that this is what is preached in the majority of churches out there.
So the only thing I can conclude from this event is this: Seek the truth and share what you learn with others. To everyone who has lost someone, I pray for peace to enter your hearts. Try your best to spread the love onto others and let God do the rest.
My mind is in a million different places right now. I hope I make a little sense.
Until then, keep doing what you're doing.

- Riveting fable, comrade
- Intriguing anecdote, brethren
- Perpetuating argument, colleague

It's a funny time. Either you're a asleep or having too much fun. There's hardly an in-between. But for this moment prayer is on my heart. Kinda weird honestly. If you know me, you'd know I'm not the most religious guy. I just do what I can. All I'm saying is this, don't sleep on prayer LITERALLY because it is the only thing that gives us hope in this crazy world. Whatever is on your heart speak it or if nothing is on your heart find it. Search and ask. You'll find your way eventually and if you didn't you probably really did just be patient.
I could leave you with an inspirational verse but mehhh it's all good. Just listen to what God is telling you. That should be your inspiration. More than anything just see God for who he is.
Amen? Amen!
I've been tutoring/mentoring this kid at the learning center for about two years now. His name is Cora and he is In the 8th grade. We come from different backgrounds. He's black and comes from the hood and me, well I'm me. I'm an Asian kid who grew up in the suburbs and had dreams of being too cool. Ideally, I probably am not the best fit for this kid. I mean we come from different backgrounds but I make it work. Let's be serious, I've never seen an Asian kid at a community learning center especially a free one filled with a bunch of random volunteers. Male volunteers are scarce too. It's just something I kinda got into and somehow kept it going but honestly, I believe in this program and the difference it plays in these kids lives.
Anyway so today I was tutoring and I was chatting with Cora. It always goes from sports to music to shoes. He wanted some red Griffey trainers and I asked him how he was gonna pay for it. He goes "shhhhh don't tell but I'm selling weed." I was like uhhhhhh but I really wasn't surprised. If you saw the neighborhood he came from then it'd make sense. He doesn't have a father figure in his life either. It's just pretty crazy how I find myself in these situations. What am I supposed to do? He trusts me enough to tell me this stuff and honestly he just does it for the money. I just hope he stays out of trouble.
Any suggestions great people of tumblr?
My dad is 51 today. It's crazy thinking about the days when he was "super dad." I swear he could do anything. I remember those days fishing at the lake and coaching me in soccer. Even days taking me to school. I was my Dads best friend for sure.
I haven't been home for a while, but yesterday I came home and took my parents to the park. I never really sat down and really wondered about the well-being of my parents until my college years. I guess one day you just realize that your parents struggle just as much as you do. Anyway, I took time to actually look in the eyes of my parents and realized that, well they're old now. There's no other way to put it but seeing the aging and intensity in my dad's face made me realize how tough a life he had. He came over to a new country with nothing. He had no parents. He had been though a war and escaped genocide. It's crazy right? Then he taught himself English as well as many other people. My dad was the first one out of my relatives to learn English and get his HS diploma. Eventually my dad took us out of the "hood" and into the suburbs. It really was his dream house. He worked two full time jobs for quite a while after my mom couldn't work anymore. My dad was gone 7 days a week working as a machine operator on an assembly line and my mom worked as a sewer for duffle bags and other stuff. Honestly my parents were never home. My three older siblings raised me or we kinda raised ourselves. Those three were all born a year apart then I was born 3 years after the second youngest. I kinda grew up by myself. I remember days sitting upstairs with my own TV playing games by myself. I was so spoiled too. I got everything I wanted. Anyway, everything changed once my dad got laid off. We sold our house and moved into a tiny apartment. I know this killed my parents. All they wanted to do was provide for us and circumstances really didn't help that.
BTW all this above happened in OHIO.
I know I'm not the best writer. My bad ;P
Anyway my dad gets a job down here in NC and everything looks a little better. I had to move once again and say bye to more friends. At this time I'm in middle school. New place, new school, but I make do. My pops is working as a machine operator and my mom is working at a Chinese place. All of a sudden my dad starts acting weird. He has a limp to his walk. He just brushes it off but he gets it checked out and we find out he got a stroke. Yes, he had a light stroke and became partially paralyzed on his left side. I was like huhhh??? And he was still working at this time. The problem was that his physical limitations caused his production to go down and he was also eventually laid off. So we lived off of all the retirement money we had. The money from the house was all gone and we were currently in court fighting for disability income. Thankfully we won cases for both my parents to get disability but this started a series of medical illness that we are still going though today.
Long story short my mom has diabetes, which led to kidney failure, which led to a transplant.
My pops had a stroke and is now in the latter stages of parkinsons disease.
I can never know what my dads eyes has truly seen, but I know it takes a real man with a strong heart to make it through all this.
Here's to you pops. I hope I can make you proud one day.

Once upon a time, arose a dispute (ikhtilaf fi wojhat el nazar) between one of it's butchers (Llahame) Abu El Abed (AA) and his competitor another butcher Abu Steif (AS). In time it escalated to become a serious fight (Mashkal). One day, a AA pulled out his sharp slaughter knife, and AS armed himself with his meat chopper and they went to meet in the town's main arena (el sahha el amma).
In no time, people from both families joined in the blood bath until the whole Basta was involved in the mashkal!. The Police (el darak) were called to establish law and order, but when they managed to quell the crowd it was to late. The massacre had taken it's toll (el dam wossel lal rekabb) . AA was cut all over(mshakaf) and was laughing (am yedhak!!!). When a police man confronted him..
Policeman: AA leish am tedhak ? ma a3m bet mout! (Why are you laughing when you are dying?!)
AA: Sheyef hal hmar yali am yemshi howneek ismou Abu Steif, mfakkar boukra irsou, mish erref inou Zabrou bijaibti...(You see that ass who is walking over there, his name is Abu Steif, He thinks he is getting married tomorrow, but actually his dick is in my pocket...).

Sarah Jessica Parker in Manila for SM Aura Premier opening
- Details
- Category: Show
15 May 2013
- Written by Gerard Ramos / Lifestyle & Entertainment Editor / gerardsolivenramos.tumblr.com
YOU would think that given the number of Hollywood celebrities that will be in town at about the same time (Glee's Mark Salling, for one; the cast of Fast and Furious 6, for another, including no less than Vin Diesel who was spotted working the crowd in Bonifacio Global City), retail giant SM would be happy to arrange for a ride on the coattails of one of them for the opening of what is touted to be its game-changing mall, SM Aura Premier, also in Bonifacio Global City.
Then again, SM is not like those retail giants that fly in some second- or third-tier Hollywood celebrity and comport themselves with no small amount of smug self-satisfaction. Instead, SM has flown in nothing less than one of the world's biggest fashion icons. Yup, the buzz is true: Manolo-loving Carrie Bradshaw herself, the fabulous Sarah Jessica Parker, is in town to open SM Aura on May 16. Yes, that would be today.
You can bet that anyone and everyone who's in fashion and society and entertainment would want to have, however fleeting, face time with Mrs. John James Preston.
Besides being a much-followed style icon, Sarah Jessica Parker—or simply SJP, as she's increasingly referred to nowadays in the media old and new—is, of course, also a multiawarded actress who has won four Golden Globes, three SAGs (that would be the Screen Actors Guild Award) and two Emmys—all for her compulsively watchable turn as Carrie in the hit HBO series Sex and the City, which not only spawned two successful movies but also continues to be a lingering and most welcome presence on syndicated TV.
Is another Sex and the City movie in the cards? We haven't got the slightest clue (a peek at SJP's entry in IMDB.com reveals nothing of the sort in pre-production) but what is certain is that Ms. Parker is headed back to Broadway (off-Broadway, actually) in the fall for the family dramedy The Commons of Pensacola, starring opposite Blythe Danner.
More recently, she did a successful guest appearance in the hit series Glee in a recurring role as a Vogue editor who mentors Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer).
Welcome to Manila, Ms. Parker.

Eyes of Youth - Kurbin, Albania (2011)
Keywords: Education, Young People
Project Background
Project Manager: Matt Daw
Facilitators: Jenny Matthews, Glynis Shaw, Lucy Williams
Local coordination: Jurgena Hajdaraj, Edi Markaj
Film-maker: David Nwikpo
Filming assistant: Rodolf Dymali
In 2011 PhotoVoice partnered with World Vision to use photography to engage members of three communities in Kurbin, a deprived area of Albania, in exploring, highlighting and discussing potential solutions to a range of social issues affecting the local population. PhotoVoice facilitators ran courses of 10 workshops with groups of children in each community, teaching them to use digital cameras and supporting them to explore issues affecting the community. Alongside photography skills they were introduced to concepts of ethical representation, model consent, parental permission for children under 18 and other important considerations for a responsible photojournalist. As a group they discussed the images each young person produced, helping to build a picture of the state of the community in reference to three key areas – child protection, education and economic development.
At the end of the course, the work produced and captioned by the young people was exhibited in each community, and formed the basis for 'community engagement days' that encouraged debate and feedback from all those who attended. The involvement of a number of young people from the community ensured there was interest in attending and the representation from each community was broad. A book has been produced showcasing the work for dissemination amongst the communities involved and throughout Albania. This will ensure that the process of open dialogue about the root causes and potential solutions to the issues highlighted can continue, and reach even those who did not attend the exhibitions. A short film showing the project process is to be used by World Vision as a training tool and as a case study of a project engaging a wider community through photography.

Question from typlo8
Error luigi turning around non stop?(sorry my english is bad
I tried reconnecting controller but he still turns around
I also tried cleaning the disk still same problem heeeeeeeelp!!
I really love this game
This question is open with pending answers, but none have been accepted yet
Submitted Answers
Are you using a wired controller, or wireless?
If wired, then make sure that both joysticks are in the centre position when you reconnect the pad.
If wireless, then try switching it off & back on, with the joystick in the centre position. If this fails, change the pad's batteries.
What gunbladelad77 said, but then again it may still just be a busted controller.
Well. There's a couple ways to go. I know this is an old question. But jsut in case you have glitchy problems in the future. 1. Messed up controller 2. Wireless? Reconnect the controller. 3. Make sure your joysticks aren't jammed 4. Take the controller out of the socket. And blow into the controller piece and the socket. Hope this helps for future problems as well.
It has actually happened to me, i just took apart the controller and took out everything and put it back it and it worked fine, (I had to do this two times :/)
Hope that helps

Bigotry backed into a corner by social change 2012
RT @thinkprogress: FACT: Last time North Carolina amended their constitution on marriage it was to ban interracial marriage
Posted on May 9, 2012 at 12:17 PM in politics & philosophy, tweets | Permalink | Comments (2)
Why does the government care about marriage? 2012
After seeing the news of North Carolina's ban on same sex marriage, my thoughts again return to the questions that came to me when California's ban was voted in: Why is government even in the marriage business? What benefit does it bring government to control it instead of it being an individual contract? And, in the face of all these budget issues, is managing marriage really of value to government?
I asked those questions on Twitter and had a lively chat with @striatic and @alanstorm (which had the background flavor of making me happy about the internet and the kind of conversations it can enable).
@striatic said that yes, managing marriage is of value. "Unless you want ceaseless advertisments for 'marriage brokers' and all the inherent overhead dragging on the economy. And then you'd need to regulate these contracts anyway to sync them with government offered benefits."
Still not sure I see the first half of that argument—are other common contractual agreements really prone to over-advertising and, even if annoying, would that actually drag the economy?—but I do see the point that if the government is offering benefits, the management of verifying the required status is something the government is interested in.
I drew an analogy with business contracts not resulting in ceaseless ads or economic drag (indeed, perhaps having an economic contribution). @striatic said, "The majority of people don't need legal aid or ever form business partnerships. The majority of people do get married."
Well, that sent me off immediately for the numbers. According to a Pew Research Center study from last year (as reported by ABC), 72% of U.S. adults have been married at least once, though only 51% are married now. That figure is down dramatically since 1960, when the numbers were 72% and 85% respectively.
Finding numbers on how many U.S. adults have entered into a contractual agreement other than marriage (such as incorporating a business) at some point in their lives was not so easy to find. While I accept @striatic's point that marriage is a significant agreement which the majority of adults still participate in, I am holding out for data on whether it's actually exceptional over other comparably complex legal experiences.
At this point @alanstorm joined in, "Government involvement helps create a standard of fairness for the individuals getting married and enforcement of rights."
To which I replied, "Ok. Standard of fairness with regard to which rights? Tax law? But that would need to change to if gov got out of marriage biz."
He said, "Jerks could coerce individuals into unfair marriage contracts, hospitals could ignore spousal rights in an individual contract, (that is, an individual marriage contract written like a standard employment agreement)."
Domestic partners face the latter (hospitals ignoring spousal rights) often enough. Seems the former (unfair marriage contracts) has old roots in expectation of female financial dependence, though. A lot of old assumptions (e.g., taxes re: shared home ownership/parenthood are linked with married status) would need re-examination were the government to 'get out of the marriage business'.
@alanstorm said, "It's complicated for sure, Wikipedia has a list of the sorts of things I was thinking about: Rights and responsibilities of marriages in the United States. There's a huge legal support system for married people that gay couples deserve access to. That's what government recognition [is] for."
If the government offers special rights/responsibilities for the married, it is in government's interest to administer marriage. That is clear. What is unclear to me is why it is in government's interest to offer special rights/responsibilities to married people.
@alanstorm said, "Because marriage is complicated, and irrespective of strides in women's rights, one partner often becomes dependent on another. And government (despite its reputation in entertainment politics) is here to help us when things don't go as planned." @striatic said, "Married people want those special rights and responsibilities, which makes it in the government's interest. That's 100% fine if the special 'rights and responsibilities' are not 'advantages', and are accesible equally to all."
However, I remain unsatisfied. I'm not asking "Why are there some societal benefits to government taking an interest in protecting these special rights/responsibilities?" but "What fiscal or administrative arguments continue to make it in government's interest to offer special rights/responsibilities to married people?"
@striatic rightly pointed out that "governments have goals other than self administration, established by their constituencies .. governments aren't businesses." But I can counter back, "What other goals is it serving for government to offer special rights/responsibilities to married people?"
He said, "altogether nuking marriage is a solution looking for a problem. The problem isn't marriage, but who isn't allowed it."
I'm not proposing nuking marriage. I'm just questioning which aspects of it should be managed by government.
@alanstorm concluded whimsically, "Fiscal argument? Because we pay taxes and deserve it! (I'm glad we managed to resolve 200+ years of policy in one twitter night.)"
But I'm not satisfied there, either: "Well, except that taxes are biased toward the married, which for unmarried committed couples (by choice or exclusion) ain't great."
That last round brought in @lrgc, who said, "Assuming it's in society's interest, then government is society's administrator. Now I'd need to think if it's in society's interest."
And can I just say, '140 character limit means you never have serious conversations', my lily white ass! :)

Friendship is not a business transaction. 2012
RT @mortari: "Friendzoning is bullshit because girls are not machines that you put Kindness Coins into until sex falls out."
Brilliant essay. Here's another bit:
I cannot state this clearly enough: if you really believe in equality, then you have to acknowledge the fact that women have a right to say no. That no matter how pure and true your feelings, your ladylove is under no obligation whatever to reciprocate them, because friendship is not a business transaction, and women are allowed to want male friends. Yes, it is difficult and sad and heartbreaking to love someone who doesn't love you back, and doubly so when that person is a friend. Believe me; I speak from experience. This is not a fun thing to endure! But discounting the woman as a bitch, a user, a timewaster, a whore with no taste who only wants to sleep with arseholes instead of Nice Guys like you is not on. It is pure, unadulterated sexism: the attitude that friendship with a woman is only ever a stepping-stone to getting into her pants, such that if the pants-getting is off the table, then so too is the friendship.
Which, frankly, is bullshit. If you don't care enough about someone to enjoy their company and respect their decisions when sex is off the table, then that person is right not to sleep with you, because enjoying someone's company and respecting their decisions is pretty much how sex gets on the table to start with.

How America Came To Torture Its Prisoners 2012
"I read nearly 140,000 formerly classified docs about America's abuse of prisoners since 2001. Here is what I learned."
Our highest government officials, up to and including President Bush, broke international and U.S. laws banning torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. Worse, they made their subordinates in the military and civilian intelligence services break those laws for them.

Oppose the Protect-IP Act; it's bad for American business and American values. 2011
I've been participating online since before the web and for the past 15 years it has been a vital part of my day-to-day work. If these acts pass, if service providers become liable for the content their users post, it will stifle both economic and creative expression. That's the last thing we need in this economy.
Imagine if Johannes Gutenberg could have been shut down because someone didn't like the content of a book his presses printed.
Contact your elected officials through FightForTheFuture.org or better yet call them directly to register your opposition to this dangerous proposal.

During the last legislative session, South Dakota lawmakers passed criminal reform legislation proposed by Governor Daugaard's Criminal Justice Initiative.
Wednesday, the Minnehaha County Commission announced that they have created their own Criminal Justice Advisory Committee to look into some future issues with the Work Release Center in Sioux Falls.
The Work Release Center houses non-violent, low-risk inmates from the County Jail system and the Department of Corrections. Many inmates in the center are part of the work release program, going to a regular job in the morning and coming back to the center at night.
One of the issues the committee will be addressing is the facility itself.
"It was designed as an elks club, its served the county well for 20 years but its full and the building is aging," said Minnehaha County Sheriff Mike Milstead.
The Department of Justice recently reviewed the building and pointed out some problem areas.
"The housing areas are too large, you go through a boiler room to get to one of the housing units," said Milstead.
This new committee may also consider relocating the facility.
"Our aging facility is on four and a half acres across the street from the new events center on a golf course and so the value of that property went up at the same time," said Milstead.
Now that the criminal justice reform bill will be implemented, the county is also preparing to deal with more inmates.
"There may be a shift of some additional prisoners to the county level community corrections, so we need to be prepared for that as well," said Milstead.
"Early this morning we had 154 inmates out here; that's a pretty manageable number, but if we start filling a facility too full, you run into more problems," said Minnehaha County's Warden, Jeff Gromer.
Gromer says finding enough beds is one issue, but the main concern are the behavioral problems that can arise from putting too many inmates in a confined space.
It's why the committee may consider building a new facility.
"Correctional facilities are expensive; however, what we're talking about would be dormitory housing for low risk offenders—that's the least expensive type of housing for inmates.
But the committee will also be looking into some alternatives to incarceration.
"We're looking at some other work crew programs where we might have inmates work on community service but not be housed in the facility, we're expanding some of our electronic monitoring options for alternatives to incarceration for low-risk offenders," said Milstead.
Sheriff Milstead says this committee will allow for public input throughout the decision process; he hopes to have a plan for the future of the center by next year.

Premature end of script headers (fixed)
16 March 2008 at 6:11pm Last edited: 19 March 2008 12:18pm
I'm trying to install SilverStripe on my server (it's worked fine on a local XAMPP setup), now I'm trying to install on a shared Linux server. On the install page all things are shown as OK except for the following:
allow_call_time_pass_reference is set to '' in php.ini. You can install with allow_call_time_pass_reference not set, but some warnings may get displayed. For best results, turn it on.
I can't tell what webserver you are running. Without Apache I can't tell if mod_rewrite is enabled.
I can't tell whether mod_rewrite is running. You may need to configure a rewriting rule yourself.
I know for a fact that mod_rewrite is enabled I used to use it on the same server for the old site, and use it for an number of other sites on the same host.
After filling in the form I get a 500 server error:
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
Error message:
Premature end of script headers: install.php
Any ideas?
Also a separate note allow_call_time_pass_reference is deprecated, is there a plan to remove this requirement?

First of all I noticed the install.php just used flush(); instead of ob_flush();flush(); which helped identify where it was going wrong, now it just died on building database schema.
I've installed v 2.2.2rc2 instead and the install went without a hitch and seems to be working great, not sure what has been changed, but its obviously fixed in this latest version.

alan to release her first calendar photobook in China
alan to release her first calendar photobook in China
Heavenly diva, alan
And she was in a freaking cold place! Everyone else were wearing heavy duty parkas X_X
"I saw this elderly gentleman dining by himself, with an old picture of a lady in front of him. I though maybe I could brighten his day by talking to him.
As I had assumed, she was his wife. But I didn't expect such an interesting story. They met when they were both 17. They dated briefly, then lost contact when he went to war and her family moved. But he said he thought about her the entire war. After his return, he decided to look for her. He searched for her for 10 years and never dated anyone. People told him he was crazy, to which he replied "I am. Crazy in love". On a trip to California, he went to a barber shop. He told the barber how he had been searching for a girl for ten years. The barber went to his phone and called his daughter in. It was her! She had also been searching for him and never dated either.
He proposed immediately and they were married for 55 years before her death 5 years ago. He still celebrates her birthday and their anniversary. He takes her picture with him everywhere and kisses her goodnight.
Some inspiring things he said;
"I was a very rich man. Not with money, but with love"
"I never had a single argument with my wife, but we had lots of debates"
"People are like candles. At any moment a breeze can blow it out, so enjoy the light while you have it."
"Tell your wife that you love her everyday. And be sure to ask her, have I told you that I love you lately?"
Be sure to talk to the elderly. Especially strangers. You may think that you will brighten their day, but you may be surprised that they can actually brighten yours."

Synopsis: This barely released western spoof stars John Astin and Steve Carlson as the con-artist title characters, at large in 1890 Colorado. The comedy is on a "Little Rascals" level, while the action highlights, centered around a gold hunt, are compromised by uncertain staging. Hans Conried provides some of the film's brightest moments as a bombastic, slovenly politician. Erdman himself plays a small role, sharing screen time with such reliables as Jesse White, Pat Carroll, Lee Meriweather and Allyn Joslyn. ... Full Synopsis

The Salt Lake Tribune

Utah's athletics department set a record for its multi-year Academic Performance Report released Tuesday with Utah averaging 981 in the report, an improvement from its previous best of 978 set a year ago.
The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation of student-athletes on scholarship. The NCAA minimum requirement is 925.
The Utes' gymnastics team was recognized for a multi-year APR that ranks in the top 10-percent of all Division I gymnastics teams with a perfect 1,000 multi-year APR, to tie for first in the Pac-12 with Arizona and California.
Women's cross country tied for second with an APR of 994 and football ranked third with an APR of 963.
Other teams joining the gymnastics team with 1,000 APRs for 2011-12 were men's golf, men's swimming, men's tennis, women's cross country and women's tennis.

Short for Category 7, Cat-7 network cabling is used as a cabling infrastructure for 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet, or GbE) and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet, or 10 GbE) networks. The Cat 7 standard provides performance of up to 600 MHz (1000 MHz for the Cat-7a, or Augmented Category 7 standard) and can be used up to a maximum length of 100 meters.
Category 7 cable is able to achieve higher performance than preceding Ethernet standards such as Cat 5, Cat 5e and Cat 6 by requiring each of its twisted wire pairs to be fully shielded. This is known as Screen Shielded Twisted Pair (SSTP) or Screened Foiled Twisted Pair (SFTP) wiring, and it almost completely eliminates alien crosstalk while significantly improving noise resistance.
The Cat 7 standard was published in 2002 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is also known as Class F cabling. While more expensive than Cat 5e and Cat 6 cabling, Cat-7 cabling does have a 15-year lifecycle (compared to estimated 10-year lifecycles for Cat 5e and Cat 6), which helps improve its overall return on investment (ROI).

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – Former Louisville Cardinals Peyton Siva and Russ Smith hosted a basketball camp for champions for area children.
The "Camp for Champions," held at Louisville Collegiate School, helps children ages 6 through 16 develop their basketball skills.
Despite having busy schedules, both managed to take time out to give back to the community.
"It's always good to give back. When I was younger a lot of the guys, especially back in Seattle, a lot of the older guys always gave back to us. God blessed me to be where I'm at today so it's a chance for me to give back to the kids – talk with them, meet with them and play ball with them," Siva said.
Siva just wrapped up his rookie year in the NBA with the Detroit Pistons and Smith is preparing for the draft scheduled to take place on June 26.
The basketball camp runs through June 18.
