Christmas Cards From Heaven
Posted by The Curator on Tue Dec 25, 2007
Thirty-four people received Christmas cards from Oregon-resident Chet Fitch this year. What made this unusual is that Chet died two months ago. The cards, written in his own handwriting, had a return address of "Heaven" and contained messages such as: "I asked Big Guy if I could sneak back and send some cards. At first he said no; but at my insistence he finally said, 'Oh well, what the heaven, go ahead but don't (tarry) there.' Wish I could tell you about things here but words cannot explain. Better get back as Big Guy said he stretched a point to…

Cheer Chains
Posted by The Curator on Sun Dec 23, 2007
If you've been to Starbucks in the past week or so, you've been at risk of finding yourself trapped in a "cheer chain." What this means is that the person in line in front of you pays for your drink, and in return you're supposed to pay for the drink of the person behind you. This goes on and on, ad nauseam. The Associated Press reported on one cheer chain that totaled 1,013 customers. The question is, are these cheer chains a true spontaneous phenomenon, or are they a cynically created pr stunt? The phenomenon supposedly began when Arthur Rosenfeld offered to pay for the drink…

Drive Someone Insane With Postcards
Posted by The Curator on Wed Dec 19, 2007
On eBay, right now, you have the chance to bid on a chance to participate in a prank that will "Drive Someone Insane with Postcards." The seller's description reads: I will be spending the Christmas holiday in Poland in a tiny village that has one church with no bell because angry Germans stole it. Aside from vodka, there is not a lot for me to do. During the course of my holiday I will send three postcards to one person of your choosing. These postcards will be rant-ravingly insane,…

Student receives detention for using Firefox
Posted by The Curator on Tue Dec 18, 2007
A letter describing how a high school student received detention for using the Firefox browser -- apparently because his teacher didn't understand that Firefox is simply a different kind of browser -- has been doing the rounds: The letter actually says "Foxfire" not "Firefox" -- which makes it sound like the teacher was totally clueless. I believed the letter when I saw it. In fact, I didn't notice that anyone was skeptical of it (though apparently a few people were). But it turns out to be a hoax.

Prank Call Leads to Electric Shock Treatment
Posted by The Curator on Tue Dec 18, 2007
Prank phone calls and electric-shock gadgets are perennial favorites of pranksters. So I guess what happened at the Judge Rotenberg Education Center was just a novel combination of the two: Call up and order electric-shock treatment for someone. It's actually kind of scary to think that it's that easy to order treatment for a patient. Boston Herald reports: State officials are investigating complaints that staff at the Judge Rotenberg Education Center gave three people — including two teens — unnecessary electric shock treatments after receiving a prank phone call from someone pretending to be from the office of the school's founder.

Loch Ness Terror Plot?

This is weird: An east London electrician accused of having terror ties claimed he was not attending training camps but hunting for the Loch Ness Monster during a trip to Scotland with other terror suspects, the Scottish Daily Record reported Saturday. Kader Ahmed, 20, was up in the Loch Ness area with a group organized by preacher Mohammed Hamid. I wonder if they went on the Nessie Hunter cruise with that boat captain who sounded like Sean Connery?

Bigfoot Prank
Posted by The Curator on Mon Dec 17, 2007
WTVY News reports on a prank that reminded me of the Winsted Wild Man hoax from 1895, although quite a bit less sensational: A teenager wore an outfit depicting the mythical Bigfoot creature. He then carried a fellow young person on each shoulder. Alarmed residents called the sheriff's department and several others armed with shotguns headed to where the prank was taking place. The young people, ranging in age from 18-to-23, were given a warning. However, sheriff's officials say those involved in any copycat incidents will face reckless endangerment charges.

Not Andy Warhol
Posted by The Curator on Sun Dec 16, 2007
Kutv.com has an article describing a hoax perpetrated by Andy Warhol back in 1967. He had been asked to do a speaking tour at various colleges, but decided, at the last minute, that he didn't want to do it. So he sent someone else, Allen Midgette, who pretended to be him: "Midgette whitened his hair and face and adopted a Warhol persona, and, accompanied by Morrissey, went on tour. And most believed the forged artist was authentic." People finally figured out that Midgette was not Warhol when they compared photos of the two men. Apparently the stunt was not an attempt to make any kind of artistic statement. Warhol…

(Updates with contents of decree in second paragraph, analyst comment in fifth.)
Dec. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Kuwait's ruler dissolved parliament and said elections should be held, after a dispute over corruption allegations sparked anti-government protests unprecedented in the Persian Gulf state.
The political tensions are obstructing Kuwait's progress, requiring "a return to the nation to choose its representatives in order to overcome obstacles and achieve national welfare," according to a decree issued by Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al- Jaber Al-Sabah today and cited by state news agency Kuna. It didn't say when the vote will be held.
The move came eight days after the Cabinet, headed by Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Sabah, resigned following months of protests calling for his ouster and a change in government. Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah was appointed to replace Sheikh Nasser as premier on Nov. 30.
The standoff between Kuwait's opposition and the government has put the political system under growing strain. Kuwait's rulers have granted more powers to elected lawmakers than other monarchs in the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council, without satisfying opposition groups who say they are still denied a representative role in shaping policy. Their political tussles have slowed economic growth and delayed key investment projects.
'Upping the Ante'
"We're now at a junction and we can't afford to repeat the same mistakes," said Abdullah al-Shayji, chairman of the political science department at Kuwait University. The growing youth protests are "a harbinger for upping the ante and raising the bar for the next prime minister and parliament."
The latest wave of demonstrations focused on a corruption scandal involving the alleged transfer of millions of dollars to lawmakers, and allegations that Sheikh Nasser transferred public funds into his foreign bank accounts. Sheikh Nasser's government had denied the accusations.
Some leaders of Kuwait's opposition have focused on the fight against corruption, calling for political reform without changes to the constitution. Others, especially younger protesters who cite inspiration from the Arab Spring, are demanding more sweeping changes such as elected governments under a constitutional monarchy.
Organizers said about 50,000 people rallied on Nov. 28, hours after Sheikh Nasser's Cabinet quit. It was the seventh time his government had volunteered or been forced to stand down since he was first appointed in 2006, and each previous time he was reappointed by the Gulf nation's ruler.
The National Assembly has been dissolved four times since then, most recently in March 2009 when the government resigned to sidestep requests by lawmakers to question Sheikh Nasser over the economy and his office's expenses.
"We're being ground to a halt, we're all completely disillusioned, and now again it's back to the polls," al-Shayji said in a phone interview. "The next parliament will determine where Kuwait will be heading in the next decade."

U.S. sales to Russia poised for boost under WTO
Thursday - 7/26/2012, 12:08pm EDT
By Caitlin Webber
Bloomberg Government
(Bloomberg) -- Legislation that would pave the way for the U.S. to recognize Russia as a member of the World Trade Organization — and give U.S. sales to Russia a leg up over U.S. exports to the rest of the world — was scheduled to come before the Senate Finance Committee on July 18.
The bill, S. 3285, would grant Russia permanent normal trade status, requiring the U.S. to provide Russia with tariff and trade treatment that's no less beneficial than what the U.S. applies to any other country with the same status.
Caitlin Webber
Timely U.S. recognition of Russia's membership in the World Trade Organization may boost the growth of U.S. exports to Russia about 50 percentage points higher than the rate of export growth to the rest of the world, according to a Bloomberg Government analysis. That's if U.S. exports to Russia during its first three years as a WTO member follow the pattern of U.S. sales to the five largest economies to join the WTO since 2000.
Lawmakers who support normal trade relations with Russia say current restrictions imposed by the so-called Jackson-Vanik amendment are a relic of the Cold War. President Barack Obama has urged Congress to repeal the 1975 law, which prohibits the U.S from applying normal, or "most-favored nation," tariff rates on imports from countries that restrict emigration.
Business Support
The business community overwhelmingly supports Russia's membership in the WTO as a means to increase U.S. exports to the world's ninth-largest economy in 2011. General Electric Co., which had $1.5 billion of revenue in Russia in 2008, said its sales to Russia could triple by 2020 if the U.S. gave Russia normal trade status. Russia was the U.S.'s 32nd-largest export destination in 2011, behind Peru, which ranked 44 spots behind Russia in economy size.
U.S. exports to the five largest economies to join the WTO since 2000 jumped by an average of 67 percent in the first three years after the new members' admission to the WTO. U.S. exports to the rest of the world grew by an average of 18 percent during the same period.
U.S. exports to Vietnam, for example, rose even in 2009, the first full year following the global recession, when exports to the rest of the world fell more than 9 percent from 2007 levels. U.S. exports to China grew more than three times faster than exports to the rest of the world during 2002 to 2004, the first three full years of its WTO membership.
Yearly Waivers
The president can waive Jackson-Vanik's trade restrictions on a yearly basis. Since June 1992, the U.S. has applied MFN tariff rates to products imported from Russia under the annual waiver.
Congress needs to provide Russia permanent normal trade status for U.S. exporters to take advantage of Russia's WTO commitments to reduce trade barriers. Jackson-Vanik is inconsistent with WTO principles of nondiscrimination, which require members to apply most-favored nation tariffs unconditionally on imports from all other members.
Congressional opposition to normalizing trade relations with Russia has centered on Russia's human rights record and its protective relationship with the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

7:20 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us ... Bieber was initially pulled over for making an unsafe left turn. During the stop, we're told the officer discovered Bieber's registration was expired.
Justin Bieber's winning streak came to a screeching halt when he went joyriding in a Ferrari Tuesday night ... and got stopped by cops, TMZ has learned.
Justin was cruising through West Hollywood around 6:30PM in a sick white Ferrari when an LA County Sheriff's deputy hit the strobes and sirens.
TMZ got a couple shots of the Biebs as he was pulled over. Witnesses say JB was cooperative while deputies took a closer look at his documentation ... and, of course, the sick ride.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Bieber did get ticketed, but it's unclear what law he allegedly broke.
Bieber's coming off a hell of a weekend -- hanging with Victoria's Secret supermodels, and breaking up with Selena Gomez. Justin was NOT solo in the Ferrari ... we're told he had a guy friend riding shotgun.
Bieber blasted this pic over Instagram -- proving the side view mirror of a Ferrari can even make cop car lights look cool.
We've called Bieber's peeps ... but no word back yet.
He s an ******* punk whos going to end up killing someone the way he drives..
"Cruising through West Hollywood...." Well, that just about says it all. Such a little toddler gangsta wannabeee....
Want to know why the city of LA is bankrupt?? Look at their police dept. Why on earth do you need TWO CARS for a routine stop?
LOL I read all this crap he's hurt by love he's got a good work ethic ...come on all's he is a spoiled kid milking fame for all its worth. He ain't all that and the more he acts like an ass the faster his "career" will be over!
JB is a flamer who things he can get away with anything.
All the great celebrities are dead and this is the **** that is left, bieber, karSHAMians, train wreck Lohan, pitiful.
Let me know when he hits a wall at 120 mph, now that's entertaiment!
does this kid know how to drive cause all his does it get pulled over by the damn cops !!! get his scrawny ass off the damn streets if he can't drive !!!
Who the hell keeps letting this little kid behind the wheel of these expensive ass cars? Clearly he can't drive. They need to revoke his license until he passes driving school.
how many times do we ticket him before he kills someone take away his license and make him take the bus
HMMM West Hollywood. He was peobably looking for a boy date.
He will just hand over the ticket to his manager who will handle the situation, then continue on with his childish behavior. He needs to grow up and learn to drive before he kills someone.
Two police cars for an unsafe left hand turn??? omg only in LA LA Land!!
I've never been "pulled over" in my life. Yet all these actors and singers get pulled over all the time and multiple times. They must truly think their s$$t doesn't stink. Obviously they have no regard for the safety of others.

Aaron Tveit & Daniel Sunjata Tease New Series GRACELAND
Broadway regulars Aaron Tveit and Daniel Sunjata are lending their leading man looks and compelling charisma to the small screen in a new TV project on USA from the creator of WHITE COLLAR that traces the lives of three undercover agents in Los Angeles, GRACELAND.
Tveit and Sunjata are both quite busy these days, with Tveit starring in the hit stage-to-screen adaptation of LES MISERABLES and Sunjata in an extended character arc on NBC's musical drama series SMASH.
In these behind-the-scenes interviews, Tveit and Sunjata - along with creator Jeff Easton and co-star Vanessa Ferlito - open up about the challenges in performing their new roles, what we can expect from the series as well as the experience of the shooting the pilot, which is set to premiere this Summer on USA.
"It's a true story about real people living a lie," says creator Jeff Eastin, summing it up.
Tveit says of the series, "It's intense. It's unexpected."
He describes his character, Mike, as being "the new guy in the house" and "there's always more going on than you think with Mike."
Sunjata describes his character, Briggs, as "the senior resident of the house." He says, "There are always layers to what is going on with Briggs."
He concludes, "The great thing about GRACELAND is that you meet these characters initially, you see what they seem to be on the surface, and, then, as the show progresses, you find out much more."
Additionally, I have received a copy of the pilot and will be reviewing it soon on this site, so stay tuned to BroadwayWorld for further GRACELAND coverage.

one problem solved and so another appeared
problem finally solved,
I went to ATI web page, because I have an ati graphic card and they gave me a little program that did all the work(downloaded the necessary files and drivers,uninstalled all the crap I installed stupidly and installed the correct drivers)...don't know how clear I'm explaining.
but another thing that's bothering me is all the upgrades windows installed...I have about 7GB out of 29GB free space. Most of the upgrades are for office and I have several folders twice: 1 with a name and another 1 with the same name but it has a x86 at the end of the name.
I also have a desktop with windows 7 but it's 32 bit unlike the laptop which is 64bit and the desk top doesn't have so much used space and so many upgrades installed, it's only half full .

Unless you managed to configure it without it, that laptop should have two video chipsets,
1. integrated into the i5
2. either of the ATI HD 5150 or HD 5450, depending on which was chosen at time of purchase.
In any case Dell has the drivers for both avaivlae on their download pages,

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.
I am also co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 lb ground turkey
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 c dry red wine (I substitute water when making gluten-free, casein-free)
2 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
2 teaspoon dried leaf basil
2 teaspoon dried leaf savory (or ground)
½ teaspoon dried leaf thyme
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoon salt (I use sea salt for corn free)
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 Tablespoon sugar
any beans if you like
In a large saucepan, heat oil over med heat. Add onions, garlic, paprika, red pepper, cumin and coriander and sauté 2-3 minutes. Add turkey or ground beef, mushrooms and increase heat to high and sauté until meat is no longer pink, 7-10 min, stir to break up big chunks. Stir in remaining ingredients except beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally until mixture is fairly thick, but still liquid (about 1 - ¼ hours). Add beans and simmer about 15 min more. Makes 4-6 servings.

But one day, a group of ninjas appeared in front of me. I hastened back to the temple to ask my grandfather if he knew what was going on, only to find him in deep conversation with a guest.My grandfather noticed me, and told me that I am the princess who succeeds to the art of Ninjutsu; the symbol of the pact among Iga, Koga and Fuma. I have to go Iga where the allied ninja are gathering. What's going to become of me?"

St. Louis-based Avmats Parts Support said it has become the first company to part out an airworthy Gulfstream V. The company recently acquired the twinjet–S/N 647, a 2001 model–"for the sole purpose of improving parts availability and reducing the cost of proprietary items." With this move, the company said it has widened the rotable pool and gives the market a "desperately needed" new source for serviceable used GV parts.
Rotable pool
Bombardier Aerospace's Dubai parts depot has moved to a new facility to enhance its aftermarket support for operators flying to Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). It allows greater inventory capacity and, as part of a continuing priority to improve competitiveness, and Bombardier says it has reduced prices on many rotable exchanges and a large number of proprietary and non-proprietary new parts.

Rochester, Minn.
Takayasu's arteritis is a rare inflammatory disease that affects the aorta and its branches. The disease is much more common in females than in males, and disease onset typically occurs between the ages of 15 and 30. People with this disease often experience general discomfort, fatigue, fever, night sweats, weight loss, and joint pain. In the late stages of the disease, weak arterial walls may lead to aneurysms. Many patients do not exhibit any visible symptoms until this point, however. Because many people with Takayasu's arteritis do not have overt disease symptoms, the assessment of disease activity is difficult. Laboratory tests can help, but are often unreliable. Novel approaches to assessing disease activity are urgently needed to enhance and facilitate research on Takayasu's arteritis. This study will determine the effectiveness of combination positron emission tomography/computed axial tomography (PET/CT) in assessing disease activity in people with Takayasu's arteritis.
Participants in this study will enroll while their disease is active. The first PET/CT scan will take place upon study entry, while there is active disease. Participants will have a second PET/CT scan 3 months later, and a third scan 3 months after that if there is still active disease present. Participants will have a maximum of 3 scans unless a scan needs to be repeated because of technical failures, though this does not often happen. If there is no active disease at the time of the second scan, a third scan will not be done. All PET/CT scans will be scheduled within 10 days of participants' routine MRI scans. This study will not require any follow-up visits.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis, as defined by the VCRC Longitudinal Study #5503
- Currently enrolled in the VCRC Longitudinal Study #5503
- Active disease has occurred in conjunction with a disease relapse within 2 weeks before study entry (A detailed definition of "active disease" is available in the study protocol.)
- Willing and able to comply with the schedule for imaging studies and follow-up procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Unable to comply with study guidelines
- Unable to safely undergo MRI scanning

I had the most incredible time last night. In addition to being able to sing "Perfect Day" with Kevin Hearn and the rest of Lou Reed's band, I believe this was an incredible night of collaboration. The compositions of Lou Reed were like a perfume in the air, enveloping us all in celebration of his awesomeness. Happy Birthday, Lou.

Arcam to launch new designer compact speakers
11th Jun 2007 | 23:00
Muso speakers look great and fit any situation
Arcam is to launch a new compact loudspeaker system to sit alongside its Arcam Solo and Solo Movie hi-fi and home cinema systems.
The new Muso satellite speakers have been designed to be completely flexible in terms of usage and placement to suit every listening situation. They perform front left, right and centre channel duties as well as deliver ambient and spot effects as surround sound speakers.
The Musos use a combined aluminium/steel enclosure and can function as a simple stereo pair when placed close to a wall. They'll likely retail for around £140 each or £280 for a pair. No other information is available on them yet, but we should know more in the run up to their release in July.
A new Logo subwoofer is also being launched to perform bass duties and is likely to sell for around £500.

Ben Volin is taking the afternoon off, excuse me, he is taking the Post 12:00 Pm practice off. However, Edgar Thompson is taking over, he does a fine job but doesn't run as much. Here is the first update, there will not be another one until later because I am going to take my wife out to dinner. I know, I'm a slacker.
5:28 p.m.
The team is warming up, so not much going on yet.
- CB Michael Lehan (ankle) and K Jay Feely (groin) are riding the exercise bikes.
Sparano said earlier that Lehan is making progress, but there's one movement he still cannont make without discomfort.
- One of Bill Parcells' favorite players, running back Curtis Martin, is visiting. He's chatting at the far end of the field with Parcells.
He's not wearing pads, but is chiseled and looks like he could jump right in. Too bad he doesn't play receiver.
-Two-time NL MVP Dale Murphy is back for another practice to see his son Shawn.
The younger Murphy, a fourth-round pick in April, is still lagging behind sixth-round pick Donald Thomas, who is working with the first team and could start this weekend, Sparano said earlier.
- Josh McCown is working with the first-team offense, while Chad Henne is lined up with the second unit.
Henne had lined up with the first team to open the past few practices.
Sparano said he's bagged a set rotation system the past couple of days because he wants all the QBs to get a lot of work in the team's various red-zone packages.
The team is expected to continue working on them today.
- In a red-zone drill with the tight ends, Anthony Fasano and Justin Peele each snagged beautiful one-hand catches on out patterns near the goal line.
Sparano hopes to see a lot more of that.
OK, heading back out. Team drills should be underway soon.

Company Funding
Shouldn't you rather focus on your customers and clients – if they are happy, you sell you're product, which in turn should drive revenue and make investors happy at the end. Focusing too much on investors might set the wrong goals from time to time – especially in the case where you're numbers do not skyrocket from day 1.

The Active Points Test is a clinical instrument for identifying and selecting the points on the skin that are most effective for treatment. These points may be close to the seat of the disease, for example on the shoulder for periarthritis, or far away, for example on the ear or head for stomach pain or a cough.
Subject: Acupuncture and herbal medicine
Charles Buck draws on three decades of study, practice and teaching in this book to provide a relevant and engaging account of the origins of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. From its pre-Han dynasty roots to Chinese medicine as we know it today, Buck covers the key texts, the main scholars and the concepts they have contributed, emphasising those that are more relevant to clinicians wishing to understand the authentic tradition. The information presented is based on diverse sources including original translations of Chinese sources and interpretations of the work of many prominent medical sinologists. With Buck's lucid and engaging style, Roots of Modern Practice provides an accessible and authoritative resource that will help practitioners and students deepen their understanding of this great medical tradition.

In this highly original and authoritative book, Peter Eckman takes pulse diagnosis as a common thread that links and integrates the various disciplines of Oriental medicine, and shows that they are in fact related by a common origin several thousand years ago. The text describes the clinical details used in a variety of acupuncture styles, synthesizing them into a coherent whole, and illustrating the usefulness of this model with an extensive presentation of case histories. A fundamental premise of the book is that treatment should be based not only on the current condition of the patient, but even more importantly on their inherent constitution. The description of constitutional pulse diagnosis therefore forms Part 1 of the text, the description of conditional pulse diagnosis forms Part 2 and Part 3 provides more than 30 case histories with pulse analysis, diagnosis and treatment (with outcomes), so that the book will be of utmost practical benefit.

The five elements – Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water – are fundamental to Chinese medicine and metaphysics, but it can be difficult to get beyond the purely intellectual level of understanding. This rich book gets to the heart of five element theory, and offers passionate reflections on the spirit of each element, and the practice of five element acupuncture.
Subjects: Acupuncture and herbal medicine, Spiritual development and adventure
Rather than simply a different version of western medical practice, acupuncture, as the author of this thoughtful and challenging book shows, is based on a different philosophy and leads down directly into the deepest areas of human experience. Based on many years as a five element practitioner, Nora Franglen explores the way in which the practice of acupuncture enlarges the experience and understanding of the practitioner. She shares, through case study and reflection, some of the larger questions and insights that emerge from a dedicated approach to this form of healing work.

If you have never done yoga naked you should. This week on moneytalks Havoc pays a few girls to come back to the gym and do some naked yoga. Next we are on the streets looking for someone to jerkoff our porn stud with a robo dutch rudder. We pay this one girl to come back to our van and jerk our boy off with our robo hands. Our crew is feeling naughty inside a clothing store for the main event. We have plenty of cash and have all kinds of titties popping all over the store. This one dude comes in and gets a nasty wedgy but of course we break him off a bit of green. Whitney walks in with her cute Georgia accent and has Jmac drooling like a lil school boy. It is hard to keep this animal controlled so we have to bring out the cash quickly. This lil Georgia peach is gorgeous. Jmac is fucking stoked and he makes sure he gives this beautiful babe the lovin she deserves.

Thousands attended mass today and some of us sat in first row again. A massive organ thundered and in juxtaposition a single nun beautifully sang to the crowd. We all were enchanted. The church was full of pilgrims, some of which were quite some characters!! We blended in with the "normal" crowd, but we knew that all of us in this cathedral just finished a journey as similar yet also as divers as imaginable. We all suffered, most of them more than us, but all arrived to join on this very spot.
"Dear one, I know that you are suffering, that is why I am here for you."
Thich Nhat Hanh, True Love.
Once more Nini set the mantra of the stage last night and we couldn't have imagined how true this would ring.
We learned today: Never celebrate before crossing the finish line! The last 10 km of the Camino did not want to let us go. Mechanical failures and a serious crash were only three curveballs we had to deal with. Three of us took their own path to the cathedral and accidentally but befitting were the first to arrive. It showed once more that the Camino is not a race, but holding a very individual journey for any one of us. The Camino just happens and cannot be planned through.
Although arriving here was the goal, it is not the end to our group journey. Tomorrow's pilgrims mass and bus ride to Madrid are also not the end of this journey. These Go Learn participants will meet again simply due to the bonding this journey has provided us with.
Fair enough - an easy stage down to Santiago! Well, so we thought. No, the Camino doesn't let you off the hook that easy. Within the last 10 km, we suffered two broken chains and a major crash in which one of literally got a taste of Camino gravel. Our first-aid kit was put to use and completely exhausted. Once again, having physicians on the tour was a blessing.
Michael, Ron and Christoph ended up separated from the group and managed to grab a shortcut, making them arrive at the cathedral before our hard-core peloton. However, the three stumbled, walking their bikes and bleeding from wounds. It was a sight to behold. No camera at hand to document, you have to take our word that the crowd parted for us three injured pilgrims.
Within minutes we all arrived in front of the cathedral, finally seeing the facade that we carried on our team-jerseys all along.
It was emotional. After group hugs everyone took a few minutes to reflect. Team photo, then off to getting our accreditation and dropping our trusted steeds at the bike rental. This journey is still sinking in. Maybe one day back home it all makes sense. For now, we still process despite having arrived.
Fair enough - an easy stage down to Santiago! Well, so we thought. No, the Camino doesn't let you off the hook that easy. Within the last 10 km, we suffered two broken chains and a major crash in which one of literally got a taste of Camino gravel. Our first-aid kit was put to use and completely exhausted. Once again, having physicians on the tour was a blessing.
A new stage, a fresh start. Forgotten was yesterday's long and hot stage were cycling near heat-stroke was reality. We are now in Galicia, a mountainous region the West of which drops down to the Atlantic Ocean. We skipped the mountains, saving us about three days of pedaling up-hill. Today is all about arriving in Santiago de Compostella!!
"Dear one, I know that you are there and it makes me very happy."
Thich Nhat Hanh, True Love.
A reading by Nini and the above quote sat the tone for tomorrow's stage six at tonight's dinner.
A challenging day, to say the least. Parting with the grandeur of Leon Cathedral in the morning and setting out on this very hot stage showed us the light and the suffering of the Camino once more. The youngest of us pushed hard and succeeded, the slowest of us showed that consistency wins the race, the most able of us get humbled by stowing bikes away under the bus at the end of a stage. The Camino has its own ways… Let's see what happens on our last stage tomorrow!

The word "unredacted" is experiencing quite a spike in usage this morning, on news that HTC and Apple are being required to produce the full, uncut version of their patent licensing agreement for use by Samsung's legal counsel. The document in question, which had previously been provided sans 33 words (some of which were, presumably, numbers), was requested by Samsung last week for the purpose of arguing against Apple's post-trial motions for permanent injunctions against infringing Samsung products.
It was bound to happen. Really, it was inevitable at this point, however today we've gotten official word that Samsung is requesting to add the newest iPad, the iPad Mini, and the latest iPod Touch to its lawsuit against the Cupertino company. This isn't shocking so much as it is entirely expected. Still, while HTC and Apple are busy settling their differences and the patent wars seemingly cooling off—if only a bit—this is a solid reminder that the two manufacturers with the most to gain (and lose!) from this fight aren't backing away from each other.
HTC CEO Peter Chou has come out swinging against allegations that HTC is paying "$6-8 per handset" in royalties to Apple, calling the estimates "outrageous." Of course, those estimate were indeed just estimates, and they were also commented upon by HTC insiders at the time as being a little on the high side.
So, what do we take from Mr. Chou's statement? HTC is probably paying a royalty, but a $6-8 royalty (that's about 1-1.5% on a $600-800 smartphone)?
After the dismissal of two of its cases against Motorola - one in Wisconsin, one in Illinois - Apple hasn't exactly been on a roll when it comes to Google's newly-purchased hardware arm. Motorola, too, hasn't done very well, with its own counterclaims in the same Illinois case also being dismissed, and by making an unexplained last-minute withdrawal of a major ITC case it was filing against Cupertino.
At the time, my first instinct when Motorola withdrew its software patent case against Apple was "settlement talks are on the table." While today's news still doesn't shed too much light on that particular event, it comes with its own bright spots of hope.
I can't say I'm the biggest student of Gandhi, but that whole "an eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind" bit sure came to mind this morning when I read that Samsung's head of mobile, Shin Jong-kyun, said the company "[does not] intend to (negotiate) at all" with Apple. This came on news of HTC's settlement with Apple on Saturday, which I contend is objectively good for the industry and consumers, no matter how you spin it.
On Saturday evening, HTC and Apple issued a joint press release indicating the two companies had settled their ongoing legal slapfight. Under a confidential 10-year licensing arrangement, they have agreed to what essentially amounts to a rigid patent ceasefire. Even future patents are covered under the deal (there obviously will be exceptions to any deal, but that's the gist).
Immediately, most people assumed HTC was getting hosed. Then, HTC rep Jeff Gordon issued a slightly cryptic but factually vital statement, saying HTC "does not expect this license agreement to have any adverse material impact on the financials of the company."
Now, whether that means the cost of the license and the savings of not keeping 300 attorneys on retainer will cancel out, or if the settlement basically cost HTC nothing, is not clear.
Aaron's not able to write this weekend's poll, because he's too busy being a dad to his newborn son! He'll be back soon, and we all wish him the very best.
Last night, HTC and Apple issued a joint press release indicating the two companies have settled their ongoing patent slapfight.
It would appear that the patent battle between HTC and Apple, which has been going on since early 2010, is finally closed, with the two companies agreeing to opt for a ten-year licensing agreement.
The dispute began over two years ago when Apple levied a complaint regarding twenty patents at HTC, claiming infringement. Of course after that the two slapped each other with dispute after dispute, and the fight has boiled on ever since.
Can you patent a shape? That is a question so many media outlets have been asking since Apple's more generic design patents have gotten more legal attention, and unfortunately, it's resulted in a rather severe oversimplification of just what a design patent is, and what it can protect. Yesterday, Wired reported that Apple finally received a long-awaited design patent on the shape of the iPad, a patent which lists none other than Steve Jobs himself as a co-inventor (and, of course, Jonathan Ive).
In a request to amend its second California lawsuit against Samsung today, Apple asked a judge to the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, and Android 4.1 as it appears on the Galaxy Nexus.
At first glance, it may seem like Apple is now drawing in the entire Android operating system into the suit, but really, it's been like this from the beginning. The Galaxy Nexus was accused from the date of filing in this lawsuit of infringing eight Apple software patents, and today is still accused of infringing those 8 even with its update to Android 4.1.

just speak nearby/working towards ideas
Initially, I thought about feminism across different geographic locations as global feminism, as a feminism rooted in nations, defined and given flavor by the nation as a whole. That is, thinking about American feminism and Indian feminism and Ghanaian feminism and French Feminism. But then, that is SO American-centric of me. When I try to think of a certain American feminism, it's impossible. Just to think of Bryn Mawr feminism strikes me as impossible. And I'm not trying to suggest that we're all special feminist snowflakes, or that there is not sense of shared feminist thought or identity. But our shorthand, our labeling of feminisms as rooted in some national identity/location/region can have the possibility of flattening and erasing nuance from how feminists express themselves in a variety of contexts.
Best of luck (and have fun) in Ghana!
Best of luck to you all in Ghana! My due date is this weekend ... but I will tune in whenver I can to the new Ghana trip blog. And then... "see" you all online for the rest of the semester!
There's a timely feature on the NPR website coinciding with your trip... Check out this recent Black History Month spot on a trip back to the ancestral home in Ghana from Tell Me More:
World Travel/ Sharing Across the World
The topic I keep returning to and reflecting on is World Travel. More specifically I was thinking about World Sharing and how amazing and beneficial it could be for students to be able to share things with other students in different countries. I took Japanese my first year at Bryn Mawr and towards the end of the class we would make video files of us speaking in Japanese and English and send them to "buddies" we had in a university in Japan. They would then send us videos of them speaking in English and Japanese. We would all also type what we said in the language we were learning and then the native student speaker would correct it and write a reply in the language they were trying to learn. This was an amazing experience and obviously we were all nervous at first but you ended up really connecting with your buddy because you'd see them laughing when they knew they got something wrong or pulling their friend into the video. Obviously this requires technology and money but I just think it is such a unique way to share the experience of learning across the world.
Language Diversity Reflection
I was in the group that presented on language diversity in Ghana. I was talking specifically about language within the school system, and how English is currently the accepted language of Ghanaian education. It isn't until Senior Secondary School that Ghanaian students are explicitly taught Ghanaian language. This policy makes me feel sad and a little angry, the same way that it does in American schools. Last semester in Empowering Learners, I defined agency as "the learner's decision to take ownership of the world in which he/she lives and to apply his/her skills to shape that world." This definition was very much attached to language. I see literacy as a crucial skill for shaping the world. When a school system denies a student access to literacy in their native language, the system is taking away some of that student's agency. Waiting to provide this fundamental access to students who make it into schools that have stringent academic requirements is completely in opposition to what I think needs to happen. Language skils should be built upon, not limited. It's sad that this can be influenced by politics or ideology.
Adult literacy and alienation
Going back to my notes on that reading - there was a heavy focus on alienation. Adults may be alienated by being illiterate, but then, forcing them to learn could also be alienating.
I've been thinking about all these things because I've been reflecting on my internship from last summer, trying to find a connection between that experience and the 360/Educ 250. I worked in the Education department at Nationalities Service Center, especially in classrooms in which immigrants and refugees are learning to speak English. This experience had a huge impact on my academics last semester - I applied that passion to classes on bilingual education, cultural tensions/fusions, and immigration. After that internship, I found connections between the experience and courses about Language, Culture, and Policy. However (and thank you to Alice again, for helping me flesh this out), I wasn't thinking about the fundamentals. - Fundamentals being, I think, Literacy. So of course there is a connection between my tutoring adults and the class I am taking now.
Gee Whiz
I remember the first time I read a novel that had characters that talked like me. It completely changed my attitude towards reading. I began to read one book a week starting in junior high because I loved reading about protagonists that also students who struggled through social problems.
This reminds me of the Gee reading because of the discussion on discourse. At the beginning of the semester, I did not have a firm grasp on the meaning of discourse. However, now it seems that I do understand it more, or I am at least more comfortable with the vocabulary. One thing that the Gee reading reminds me is the importance for people, especially youth, to see their discourse in other areas of life. Being able to read about people who went through similar issues and reading phrases and words that I experienced on a daily basis was in some way a source of empowerment. It made my middle school self feel less alone in the world to know that there are other people who are similar to me and talk the same way.
Literacy in Classroom Vocabulary
Having A come in this week was a great "reality check" for me. It also made me think harder about all of the literacies I have gained this semester and year in my field placement. My placement is in a very vocabulary-y school--there are catchphrases for everything, from "catch a bubble" for not talking to "X is off the team, but working hard to turn it around." When I first started there last semester, I was constantly overwhelmed by the vocabulary. I could usually understand it in context, but I was unable to apply most of it independently. Now, I've led a small group lesson, I regularly work with individuals, and I'm preparing to teach a writing lesson to the whole class on Friday. I'm also going to get a pull-out small group for word study.
When I started thinking about this post, word study was really the connection. I recognized so much of what A was talking about--digraphs, blends, welded sounds, the idea of a picture representing every sound. I also learned that my school uses a balanced literacy program. It fits with my experience in the classroom, and it was great to hear a different teacher talk about the same curriculum. I really have developed an understanding of what's going on in the classroom, and I no longer need (although obviously I still appreciate) my mentor teacher's input on vocabulary when I'm moving throughout the classroom and working with individuals.
Making Learning More Appealing
As I thought about this past week's speakers and read through people's posts (i.e. Amanda's reflections on the speakers, and Lucy's thoughts about using music to inspire learning), the main question that kept coming up in my head was: How do we make learning more fun and interesting for kids?
This past summer my internship centered around improving educational disparities in China. Moreover, my focus was on teaching English because that is the subject that separates the rural students from the urban students on the college entrance exam. The main problems surrounding teaching English in China were the teachers' lack of experience, and students' lack of interest, which in turn affected teachers' motivation to teach English. Many students did not see the use in learning English; they said they were never going to use it. And teachers, believing the harsh reality that many of their students would never get the chance to even leave their villages to ever use English, cannot convince students otherwise and easily lose motivation to teach English. In addition, as mentioned before, teachers are inexperienced in English, rarely using it themselves, even with their fellow English teachers. Classrooms also already lack resources in general, let alone any effective English teaching materials. Thus all these factors combined, including many more, discourage (English) learning in China.
How did I learn to read?
I really enjoyed Tuesday's lecture in class by Amy because I found the information on the traditional literacy process very interesting. Furthermore, it reminded me why I do not desire to be a traditional educator. If I could achieve her level of knowledge on reading and the reading process, I would consider being a teacher, but I over analyze too much to be able to be a good teacher in action. Being able to think about Tuesday's lecture in comparison to Thursday's lecture, I think about learning in a classroom versus learning a new type of capital that the women in Zimbabwe acquired through the women relatives in their lives.
Last week's keyword for me was, "Disconnect." Although I appreciated the guest lecturers, I found myself either not paying attention at all or zoning in and out. When the first woman, I forgot her name, came in to speak, initially I was intrigued by the handouts -- I liked that they had practical teaching methods for reading. I also payed attention when she explained how the iPad was used in the classroom as a tool for gathering data and as a tool for visual communication between parents and teachers. However, I'm not going to lie, I barely listened to her speaking for most of the lecture and the same thing happened when Mary came in to speak about the Zimbabwean (?) women and their role in the trade markets.
The fact that I paid very little attention to the guest lectures bothered me. So, I began to wonder, is it me or is it what was being said? I think it was a combination of both.
The more we talk about literacy, the more I realize about myself as a learner. I know now that I get completely lost when a connection between what is being taught and the overall "picture" is not made. Take for instance Mary's lecture, it would have never occurred to me that the women of Zimbabwe had become literate in a different setting, the market, if Mia had not made that connection for me. And I find myself experiencing similar disconnects in Pim's and Rob's class during discussions.
