Dick Harmon: Former BYU QB Jim McMahon's brain in hands of inventor of the MRI
He told of his battles with Chicago head coach Mike Ditka, how he'd like to have had Ditka as a teammate. A defensive coach, Ditka tried to call plays for the offense, and McMahon had fun with how that simply failed and he'd have to switch plays.
Because of an injury, McMahon missed a few practices leading up to that famous game at Minnesota during Chicago's 1985 championship season. Before that game, McMahon found his hero, Joe Namath, who was doing the broadcast sitting in the stands at a Bears practice. Namath asked why he wasn't on the field, and McMahon told him, "Why? I've been here four years and nothing is going to change. Besides, he (Ditka) told me I'm not going to play, I didn't practice."
During games, McMahon was always in Ditka's ears on the sidelines, asking him to put him in, and that night he felt good in warmups and started in with Ditka to play him.
Down 17-9 in the third quarter, Ditka finally put McMahon in the game, and the coach called a screen pass. McMahon tried to run the play but saw a blitz, and a linebacker picked up the targeted running back. McMahon explained that on that play he stumbled taking the snap. When he regained his balance, he threw the ball to Willie Gault, who was 10 yards behind his man and easily scored a 70-yard touchdown.
"Mike wanted to know what I called. I told him a screen, but Willie was open so I threw it to him," said McMahon.
His next offensive play was a 25-yard touchdown to Dennis McKinnon, and it also wasn't Ditka's called play . But when the Viking free safety jumped to cover the Bears' tight end, it left McKinnon open, and McMahon quickly made the read and throw. "Mike was upset again."
In a loss to Miami the next week, Ditka told McMahon he wasn't going to play because he missed practice on Wednesday. "We aren't going to have another Minnesota," said Ditka. "Why not, that turned out pretty good," McMahon told his boss.
As it turned out, McMahon did come in the game with the Bears trailing. On multiple occasions, he switched Ditka's pass plays to runs for Walter Payton, who was going for a record for 100-yard games. Payton gained chunks of 10 and 15 yards and got the record. Chicago lost, Ditka was mad but the offensive players loved it. So did Payton.
That in a nutshell is Jim McMahon.
Who knows if he'll heal from his head injuries and if this New York doctor can turn things around.
Who knows if BYU will ever get McMahon his degree so he can be in its Hall of Fame, or waive the requirement for the guy.
But I wish him the best and good luck.
Forever, there will be only one Jim McMahon.

During last summer's vacation, David Dolephene discovered his pirate ancestor's treasure on El Hierro in the Canary Islands. Returning to America he is both rich, and famous, and a target. On the surface, the problem was the paparazzi seeking compromising pictures of the famous teenager. When a tickle on the back of his neck warns of danger, he assumes it means the undetected presence of photographers. It helps to avoid them and a van that seems to follow him. Upon returning to El Hierro for another summer with Alejandro and Concepción, his adopted brother and sister, and co-finders of the treasure, the warning feelings become stronger. David is confused, still believing the warning pertains to paparazzi until members of the Calabria Mafioso jump the three teens. They kidnap Concepción and take her to their stronghold in Italy where they demand a ransom. Despite uncovering detailed information about the gang and their location, David and Alejandro feel frustrated at the lack of action by the authorities. On impulsive, the boys decide to undertake their own rescue mission. With some help from David's ghostly ancestor and a Spanish smuggler, the Canary Island Commandos invade Italy and penetrate the Mafioso hiding place. While they find their sister and two other hostages, getting out of the country alive is a different matter. Following a harrowing cross-country chase, they take refuge in an abandoned farm and prepare for their Mafia pursuers to attack. David realizes too late what they are doing is not a James Bond movie. As his ancestor reminds him, "Someone always dies tomorrow."

Ezra F. Vogel: China under Deng Xiaoping's leadershipRoundup: Talking About History
Ezra F. Vogel is Henry Ford II Emeritus Professor of Social Sciences at Harvard University. He is author of Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China (Harvard University Press, 2011).
When Deng Xiaoping became pre-eminent leader of China in December 1978, China was still in the chaos from the Cultural Revolution. Per capita annual income was less than US$100.
By the time he stepped down in 1992, several hundred million Chinese citizens had been lifted out of poverty, and China was rapidly becoming stronger, richer and more modern.
Deng Xiaoping did not originate reform and opening — that began under the leadership of Hua Guofeng after the death of Mao Zedong in 1976. But Deng provided the steady hand, the clear direction and the political skill for China to succeed. He enjoyed the support of senior cadres who realised that Mao's continuing revolutions brought disaster, but he had the judgment to pace the reforms and keep the support of those who feared the opening of markets, as well as those who feared that the opening would be too slow....

Academic Experience:
The nursing program is a program I would recommend 2nd anybody to consider if they want to help people. It's the bestvprogram for me and had taught me a lot about differ t symptoms and diseases.
Academic Experience:
I am entering into the Liscensed Practical Nursing Program. The workload is tough, but you have to study in order to achieve, for anything worth having takes hard work. The facilities are well equipped to help you the learning process of becoming a Nurse, and the staff is very helpful and supportive. There is still a high demand for Nurses and job placement should be a success.
Academic Experience:
Some of the curriculum are tough with very well intelligent professors that help you to understand the art of learning. The registration process is easy and you are able to get into most classes that you need except the Bio 210 and 211 in which these classes are a necessity as well as high demand for the entire medical field. All the professors offer help if you need it outside of class.
Academic Experience:
it all depends on your teacher.

there are a good bit of different programs to choose from but not as many as i would like.

text: Mahanagar Telephone Nigam (MTNL) is a state-owned telecom utility that provides fixed line and other services in Delhi and Mumbai. The telco is 56% owned by the government with approximately 3.5 million fixed lines in service. MTNL posted a net loss of $135 million during 2010 second quarter against a marginal profit of around $5 million, attributable to higher staff expenses. Wage revisions implemented during the March quarter of 2010 were responsible for this loss. MTNL currently has 45,000 employees and spent 30% of its revenues during the last fiscal 2009-10 on employee wages. Operating losses are not a new phenomena. The company has been running at a loss since 2007 and only interest income, on account of excess on its books, has helped MTNL to come into green in the past two years. However, MTNL has spent its excess cash pile for the enrollment of 3G and broadband services, which will not help its profitability going ahead. Prev 1 of 7 Next

Buildings: "Loud junk is what we love to play;" at Cause tonight
The upcoming release from Buildings, Melt, Cry, Sleep, is a jarring and powerful album, built around aggression and volume. The time in between this one and the avant punk act's 2008's Braille Animal saw the band maturing -- vocalist/guitarist Brian Lake temporarily relocated to Chicago, and the band found a new bass player in Sayer Payne. With drummer Travis Kulman rounding out the lineup, they got to work on a sophomore release that will be issued on CD by local label doubleplusgood with the vinyl produced by Colorado label Cash Cow Production.
Gimme Noise took a moment with Lake and Payne to ask about the putting together their second album. Buildings will play a release show tonight at Cause with Gay Witch Abortion, Iguano, and Miami Dolphins.
Gimme Noise: It's been 4 years since Braille Animal. Did you work on the Melt, Cry, Sleep that entire time?
Brian: Well, I moved to Chicago, there were financial hardships, and we had a change of bass players that affected a lot of the dynamic of trying to write an album. Once we got Sayer permanently we fine-tuned, wrote new songs, and were ready to go into the studio.
You nearly called it quits a few years ago. How did the experience change your approach to the band?
Brian: I realized I made a mistake. I had personal reasons for going to Chicago. Leaving Minneapolis was something I needed to do to get my shit straight and realize what goals I had in mind for the band. I came back wanting to do nothing but pay our dues and get to the point we are now and I couldn't be happier.
Travis: I made Brian move back. I didn't have any friends, just the 331. We knew we needed to make more music.
There are a number of different sounds at play in your songs. Are you striving for something specific, or is it a natural pulling in what you've heard over the years?
Brian: Well, when we started out we had a goal in mind to be angry and aggressive. But we strayed from that and became a kind of spazzy/groove/punk-oriented kind of band. We have always been a fan of 90s Bellini, Shellac, Unwound, Nirvana, VSS, etc. Those bands were essential to our lives and carry weight in the music we write. Every band has to draw from somewhere, you know, but I just want to make it with more noise. Make it aggressive and have the songwriting come out like you are getting punched in the face.
Travis: We all three listen to so many types of music, but this is what naturally comes out. Loud junk is what we love to play.
How do you explain the violence to your sound? Is it a dark joke, an outlet, a bit of both? Do you think people who don't know you would get the wrong impression based on your music?
Brian: It's an outlet, of sorts. We all lead lives where we don't get to express ourselves the way we want so, instead of doing it at home, we take our anger out in front of people. If people can see that we put 110 percent into our music, I think they will understand where its coming from and understand the raw emotion involved.
Travis: Our sound is very comparable to our influences. It's right there, it's obvious. I'd agree it is both somewhat of a joke and an outlet. My neck is ruined forever because of drums, but I don't mind.
Joe Gaskill
You went on a mini-tour after the CD release in December. How did that go? What was a highlight?
Brian: We toured with Self Evident, the best men in the world. It went really good; we are always received well in those cities by going back to them over and over again. I guess a highlight would be Matsua in Arlington Heights, IL. It's this Japanese supermarket that has everything you can think of and the best $4 sushi I have ever had. I almost bought a samurai sword and some tempura at the same time. [Laughs.]

Karl James Noons retained his 160-pound title in exciting fashion, needing just 48 seconds to stop Yves Edwards in front of a supportive crowd of more than 4,200 fans inside the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena.
After the opening bell, the two lightweights stormed to the center of the cage and exchanged blows. Edwards was the first to connect, nailing Noons with an uppercut and a right hand.
"He caught me with a great shot," Noons said. "He came forward and I think he tried to finish the fight. But I wasn't hurt."
The champion kept his composure and landed a counter of his own: a right hand that put Edwards on his back.
Noons immediately let loose with a vicious barrage of punches and then began a series of elbows that forced referee Mario Yamasaki to step in and stop the fight.
Unfortunately, the action didn't stop there.
After Noons' victory, Nick Diaz -- victorious earlier in the night -- entered the ring to promote a rematch with Noons. Then Diaz and younger brother Nate, a UFC fighter, began taunting Noons' corner and family. Carl Noons, KJ's father and a former boxer, did not take kindly to the treatment.
"We were just enjoying the moment," Carl Noons said. "I heard Nick in the left-hand corner trying to push into the interview and try to diss."
The scene quickly escalated from mere cursing and inappropriate hand gestures to a full-on brawl in the cage.
"I retorted back that, you know, that's uncool and back and forth, and next thing I know [Nate Diaz] throws a bottle at me after throwing his middle fingers," Carl Noons said. "And then pushing from them came and then I just chased him on the ring, hit him, and then I came back in and grabbed Nick."
Diaz declined to comment on the incident.
Security and staff rushed the cage to intervene and the Diaz brothers were escorted out of the arena.
"Bottom line is, major disrespect. [It was] the last thing I ever thought would happen, you know, after my son winning a great fight," Carl Noons said. "Bottom line is, on record, those Diaz brothers are just punks from Stockton [California] and they've got no respect. They're just punks, and I hope we don't see them out tonight."
Diaz controls Corbbrey, forces stoppage in Round 3
Earlier on the card, Diaz fought someone in his own weight class, though he couldn't actually make the weight requirement and settled at a catch weight of 168 pounds.
Coming in over nine pounds over the EliteXC 160-pound limit, Diaz took on the well-rounded Muhsin Corbbrey.
After a closely contested, but ultimately uneventful first two rounds, Diaz threw Corbbrey to the mat with a body lock and went to work on a submission. The Cesar Gracie black belt fished for a kimura before transitioning into an armbar.
Corbbrey escaped, but Diaz took top position in the scramble and punched his way to the mount, where he rained down blows until referee Chris West called a halt to the contest at 3:59 of the third.
Ninja inching toward another title shot
In other bouts, Murilo "Ninja" Rua continued his move toward another title shot with a dominating victory over Tony Bonello.
Bonello let his aggressive intentions known before the bell even rang, getting in Rua's face during the staredown and spitting some choice four-letter words toward the former champion.
The Australian came out swinging and landed a few good shots before clinching up with Rua. Bonello pulled guard and attempted an armbar, but Rua easily avoided the submission. On the ground, Rua moved from side control to mount seemingly at will, all the while continuously bouncing Bonello's head off the canvas with elbows.
Rua eventually moved to knee-on-belly, where he landed a number of vicious right hands before referee Mario Yamasaki stepped in at 3:16 of the first round.
Herman stays undefeated
Heavyweight Dave Herman kept his undefeated record intact, scoring a technical knockout over Ron Waterman. Waterman scored the early takedown and had side control, but Herman was able to regain guard and eventually get back to his feet. Once there, the surprisingly acrobatic heavyweight landed a flying roundhouse kick to Waterman's face. Waterman again shot in for a takedown, but was stopped along the fence.
Herman, now 11-0, landed a number of elbows that appeared to hurt Waterman as he worked for the takedown. Herman took the opportunity to step to the outside and land a knee to Waterman's body and then pounded away until the referee stopped the bout at 2:19 of the first.
Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante was impressive in his light heavyweight tilt, dropping opponent Wayne Cole to the canvas with a well-placed knee from the clinch before finishing him off with punches at 2:47 of the opening frame.
In the local-dominant after-card, Icon Sport middleweight champion Ross "Kala Kolohe" Hose showed he had some work to do yet in improving his game, getting choked out by late replacement Robert "Bubba" McDaniels in the first round.
McDaniels shot in early for the takedown and Hose sprawled, ending up in half guard. The more grappling-savvy McDaniels swept to the outside and took the Hawaiian's back.
"He went for one rear-naked choke, I was defending that one and he slipped the other one across and that one was pretty deep," Hose said.
Unable to escape, Hose was forced to tap out at 41 seconds of the first round.
But not all was lost for Icon Sport title-holders, as bantamweight ace Mark "The Shark" Oshiro was victorious in his bout, catching Chris Willems in a triangle choke. Willems attempted to slam his way out, but Oshiro held tight, pulling his foot down to lock on the choke and force Willems to tap at 2:12 of Round 1.

Skip to comments.Leif Ericson discovers new continent
Posted on 07/04/2011 11:40:41 PM PDT by WesternCulture
America belongs to the Americans.
Yes, but the discovery of America does not belong to silly Southern Europe.
From Wikipedia:
Viking explorers discovered America. Anyone denying this is selling LIES.
Leif Ericson is the King of all explorers.
No other Westerner, rightfully, can claim to have discovered America.
It's time to see who's who, Columbus.
The Wikipedia link:
I wonder what those who were living in America for 15,000 years when Erikson arrived would have to say about this?
>> I wonder what those who were living in America for 15,000 years when Erikson arrived would have to say about this?
I bet they'd say they ate a lot of yogurt to live that long.
I t'ink they told them to leif....
"I wonder what those who were living in America for 15,000 years when Erikson arrived would have to say about this?"
- They weren't Westerners. The Vikings though, were..
Nations like Britain, France, China and Germany are ambitious like Hell.
But in the long run, puny Scandinavia will have a say.
Interesting analysis.
News flash, there were already people here. Giving credit to either the vikings or Columbus would be like me letting myself into your house while you're at work and discovering your television set. It was the age of conquest and the stone age Native Americans were no match for my ancestors. The vikings may have been the first Europeans in the New World, but they didn't have the means to take it, and in the end, that's all that matters.
We said almost exactly the same thing. Interesting.
Columbus changed the world. Leif not so much...
Good grief, can you read?
"No other Westerner, rightfully, can claim to have discovered America."
It's not about who inhabited the Continent first, it's about competing explorations and discoveries!
The thing is that Viking/North European knowledge of the World was coherent with that of the Catholic intellectual sphere at the time of Columbus.
Southern Europe (read Rome and the Vatican) simply was being dishonest.
All in all, this conflict is a consequense of Sweden's military defeat of the Papal troops back in the 17th century.
Don't you try and f*ck up our history!
It is sacred to us and we will come back at you, claiming dear truth.
Ha! Exactly what I've always thought, but you were much more eloquent!!!
Ericson was far from the first person to discover the Americas. There's a whole genre of literature devoted to the possibility that some other ancient culture may have landed here before the Europeans in the Age of Discovery. From the Chinese, to Arabs, to ancient Egypt, to Phoenicia; but so what? Columbus's discovery of the New World was only the vanguard of the European expansion, whereby the various nations of the continent explored and colonized the whole world, in the process creating the modern era. Ericson discovered some new lands, and the world went on as before, nothing changed. That's why Columbus get's the credit, while Lief unfortunately (for him) gets the historical footnote.
Relations between European immigrants and American Indians were very mixed. Some big nasties were sometimes played upon the Indians, but sometimes friendships were forged. Indians often tended to be nomadic in North America, not claiming any one spot as their own, while Europeans were more inclined to settle in a fixed locale.
Anyhow, the current system of allotting reservations to Indian tribes, while a seemingly fair compromise, hasn't turned out all that well for the Indians. They don't live replicas of their valiant ancestors' lives; they live in depression and squalor.
"Point is, it was Columbus' voyage which opened up the Americas to Europe and changed history. Leiff's voyage is just a blip which no one took notice of."
Ericson's charts were part of the body of the best chart-knowledge when Columbus sailed. The charts showed Columbus there was something there, and that it had and could be reached.
Columbus is credited with being a businessman/sea captain that got finance from Isabella, and assembled the known "science" (charts) of the day—both needed for a successful voyage.
I credit all of the early explorers, for they were amazing people, including their crews.
So Scandinavians can be justifiably proud of Ericson's part.
At that time, the Scandinavians sailed to many distant places, including the Volga River in Russia, around to the Mediterranean, etc.
Their imprint on history is huge, particularly considering their small numbers.
"Theres a whole genre of literature devoted to the possibility that some other ancient culture may have landed here before the Europeans in the Age of Discovery."
- I'm so impressed by these possibilities.
Perhaps India invented dynamite and everyone in shitholes like Caracas or Detroit drives around in a nice Volvo like people do in Gothenburg and Stockholm.
With my 100% Scandinavian bloodline, perhaps Leif is a distant relative. :^)
No I just stare at the screen and tap random keys in response. It's a miracle I've lasted this long.
How else can you explain red haired "tall" pale skinned "Indians" in Nevada that used weapons that no local Indian had ever seen before. (Like Axes?) - Shields. - Helmets. - Leg protectors. - Wooden chest plates.
And if the Columbus had not discovered America, the Arabs with their superior seafaring technology (they had the astrolobe, afterall) could have claimed America as their own. A horrific thought that is only coming true in our present times: Obama, Arab American liar
What about Saint Brendan the Navigator?
The Vikings settled briefly in Newfoundland, and there are remains there of their settlement but it only lasted a few years at most. The natives were apparently not friendly.
Well, it shows that America was just waiting to be discovered, and some sort of contact was inevitable.
It is difficult to think of a point at which the contact was peaceful or at all congenial. Surely the Spanish contact was genocidal, lead by a pack of misfits and freebooters, and laying the seeds of prolonged suffering and disaster lasting to modern times.
The New England contacts were initially much more peaceful, but even friendly contacts between greatly differing cultures are difficult to sustain. The King Philips War, in which the Indians wiped out several towns, led to an unrestrained war of survival, and poisoned relations between Europeans and the Indians for centuries.
It is difficult to think of most of the early explorers as truly great people, when they had so many moral faults, and were no more advanced in their cruel behavior than the savages they encountered.
Were there ancient Mormons in Nevada?
Anyway, Leif Ericson made his contribution to the body of navigational knowledge, no doubt about it.
But was Columbus aiming to reopen Ericson's discovery of a new land? IIRC, ol' Chris was sailing westward hoping to reach India and bypass the spice routes that were being waylaid by the Mohammedans.
He even called the natives he encountered "Indians". Howcum?
His blue eyes and size scared the living crap out of the natives!
Scandanavia and especially Iceland (where Leif sailed from) was so far removed from the European mainstream in AD 1000 that Leif Ericson's discovery remained a secret...and a "secret discovery" is a contradiction in terms. Certainly Leif's discovery is fact, and was an amazing act of courage, but, none-the-less, it wasn't known to the rest of Europe until 800+ years later.
Saint Brendan (may) have "discovered" America too—100 years before Leif, or even the Egyptians.... so what? All of these, IF they happened, were again of the "secret discovery" variety.
Columbus though, having been sent by a wealthy mainstream European kingdom, got America KNOWN. His was anything BUT a "secret" discovery (though there were educated people, even in Northern Europe, like Dr. Martin Luther, who didn't believe another two continents were discovered.)
Even after Columbus, it took Northern Europeans another 100 years before they started exploring and settling the newly uncovered lands...(while the Spanish and Portuguese explored, conquered and settled the Caribbean, and Latin America by that time... )
So a "discovery" which remains covered up, for whatever the reasons...cannot really count as a discovery—as in the meaning of the word, things must get known.
Once again you show yourself to be ignorant.
You wrote:
"Southern Europe (read Rome and the Vatican) simply was being dishonest."
What on earth are you talking about?
"All in all, this conflict is a consequense of Swedens military defeat of the Papal troops back in the 17th century."
Again, what on earth are you talking about? Are you honestly claiming short lived Swedish victories in the 17th century somehow changed history backwards in time in the 15th century?
And then you have this gem:
"Dont you try and f*ck up our history!"
No, you'll just let the Muslims do it for you.
Don't forget, the Natives were almost stone age, 15,000 years behind Europe. They didn't even have the wheel or the knowledge to forge metals!
I'll bet they did!
Oh, wait. Wrong Leif...
Nothing puny about Scandinavia in those days. The Viking expansion was amazing. It was probably fueled by a population explosion in their homeland resulting from the Medieval Warm Period. Norsemen conquered and settled most of Britain, a large part of France, and Sicily, and founded the first Russian state. Much of the population of Britain, Ireland, and Russia has Norse blood, which may account for the daring and aggressive behavior of those nations in later centuries. Part of the problem with the Norse settlements in Greenland and Newfoundland is that they tried to live like Europeans (keeping cattle for example) as the climate drastically cooled as the Little Ice Age approached.
What "superior seafaring technology" are you referring to?
And if the Columbus had not discovered America, the Arabs with their superior seafaring technology (they had the astrolobe, afterall) could have claimed America as their own
Certainly Ericson "discovered" America, as did many before him. But once Columbus "discovered" America, it stayed discovered.
Columbus cared. Knowledge of the 'New World' was shared by the sailing culture of Columbus's day. Like almost all human discoveries and advancements, today's discoveries are built on past efforts.
Columbus's voyage opened the 'New World' to exploration because it's time had come. The shipbuilding and seafaring technologies of that day facilitated the accomplishments. Just like the technologies of the mid-20th century facilitated space exploration. It's time had come and the accomplishment was based on hundreds of years of discovery and knowledge.
Leiff Erickson did not lead an occupation of the 'New World' but his efforts left the knowledge for others to use later.
To me, the most interesting thing in the Wikipedia article is "Leif rescued an Icelandic castaway named Thorir and his crew". There were other Norsemen working the 'New World'?? Leif the Lucky kept Thoror's cargo? Maybe Leif is like Columbus. He learned about the 'New World' from others before him.
The diocese of Vinland, established by Leif Ericson's colonists, was only lost a few mere decades before Columbus.
Then, only a few thousand years later, my great grandfather, Gus Swanson arrived in time to help lay the cobblestones for his adopted homestown's main street.
Bjarni Hurjulfson. No kidding. The sagas of King Olaf, older than the other Norsement sagas, give credit to Bjarni Hurjulfson as early as 985. Ericson's sagas may have caught the Norse imagination more, because he went as a Christian evangelist in the year 1000 AD.
Go to the casino and find out.
And to this day Norsemen in New Foundland rub and kiss the Bjarni Stone for luck.
Did he bring Smallpox and slaves? No. Then %$#@ him.
Columbus had better documentation.
——I wonder what those who were living in America for 15,000 years when Erikson arrived would have to say about this?——
Of interest is those already here. At this time, the great American cities in Arizona, New Mwxica and Illinois were on the verge of explosive growth.
The climate must have been very different than now.
The people of whom you speak now live on Hopi Mesa and Zuni and Acoma Pueblos having moved from their cities.
Columbus discovered the beautiful Bahamas with sunshine and topless maidens.
Leif found yet another frozen rock.
It's better in the Bahamas!
Always been my point. It Stayed Discovered.
The OP also left out the Portuguese whos fishing boats were crossing the Atlantic looking for Cod for a thousand years before Columbus.
There is also strong evidence for the Portuguese discovering South America long before Columbus, and, that he had their info in hand when he sailed.
That would be 'whose'.

It is now widely recognised that constructing a domain model, or ontology, is an important step in the development of knowledge based systems. What is lacking, however, is a clear understanding of how to build ontologies. In this paper we survey the work which has been done so far in beginning to provide a methodology for building ontologies. This work is still formative, and relies heavily on particular experiences. We also provide some discussion of this work, and identify the key issues that must be addressed if we are to move on from ontology construction being an art and to make it an understood engineering process. 1.

A Mule Spinner Tells the U.S. Senate about Late 19th century Unemployment
Fall River, Massachusetts, mill worker Thomas O'Donnell (who had immigrated to the U.S. from England eleven years earlier) appeared before the U.S. Senate Committee on Education and Labor on October 18, 1883, to answer the panel's questions about working-class economic conditions. An unemployed mule spinner for more than half of the year, he described the introduction of new production methods at the Fall River, Massachusetts, textile factory where he worked as a mule spinner (a worker who tende

How Clean is that Water?
This lesson plan helps students understand the factors that affect water quality and the conditions that allow for different animals and plants to survive. Students will look at the effects of water quality on various water-related activities and describe water as an environmental, economic and social resource. The students will also learn how engineers use water quality information to make decisions about stream modifications.
Mathematics and E-Learning: A conceptual framework
This paper starts from the study of the epistemological statute of the didactics of the mathematics (Henry, 1991; D'Amore, 1999), which faces the phenomenon of learning from the point of view of fundaments, in order to give useful and specific considerations for e-learning environments. Investigations on how the triangle teacher-pupil-knowledge changes are presented. Then the model of a-didactic situations (Brousseau, 1997) is analysed in the context of e-learning platforms.

'Hotel Hell' inn up for tax saleJuly 24,2013By Christian Avard
Staff Writer
WINDSOR — The inn that was featured on a popular television show is up for a tax sale according to the Windsor Town Manager.
Tom Marsh confirmed the Juniper Hill Inn on Pembroke Road in Windsor will be auctioned Aug. 9 at town hall if back taxes are not paid in time. He said the inn owes up to $120,000 in back taxes, liens, overdue utility bills and interest and must pay it off within one year.
"This process is underway," Marsh said. "The most common outcome is a mortgage holder will pay the taxes before it foregoes the tax sale. My expectation is the mortgage holder will step up and not let the thing be sold for a fraction of what they are owed. So they would step up, pay it and the go through the foreclosure process."
Juniper Hill Inn co-owners Robert Dean and Ari Nikki were not available for comment. A representative at the inn said they are still open and they have been "fully-booked."
The Juniper Hill Inn was featured on "Hotel Hell" on the Fox Network. In this series, host Gordon Ramsay, who also stars in the hit show "Hell's Kitchen" visits struggling bed and breakfasts and inns across the country with the hopes of turning them around. The episodes aired last August.

Skip to comments.The war on standards dumbing down the SAT
Posted on 03/09/2014 6:08:40 PM PDT by prairiebreeze
The College Board is once again altering the SAT. According to the Washington Post, the SATs writers appear to be doing two things: changing what they test and making the test easier.
To me, it sounds as if the SAT will be made easier largely by changing what it tests. For example, the Post says that students will no longer be expected to know difficult, lesser-used vocabulary words and advanced mathematical concepts will disappear from the exam (my understanding is that truly advanced mathematical concepts do not appear on the current exam).
No one who has been paying attention can doubt the main purpose behind the overhauling of the SAT. Members of certain minority groups perform far worse than average on the exam. This fact doesnt prevent most colleges from admitting pre-determined levels of minority students under their race-based preferential admissions systems. But the outcomes under these preferential systems (e.g., vast disparities between the average scores of admitted black and white students), unless concealed, subject the systems to much criticism
(Excerpt) Read more at powerlineblog.com ...
What is the big deal? All this means is that the universities will adjust their admission standards for the new scores.
'advanced mathematical concepts' being trig.
I was doing calculus in my junior year (11th grade)... and they're going to dumb it down more?!
this is how you guarantee Americans don't get those high paying tech jobs...
This reminds me of when Herbert Hoover was elected king. That was in 1885. He didn't want people to be educated, so he made television sets illegal. He seized 110% of all the televisions, so he got most of 'em. But then Jimmy Carter seized power and the good old type of education we have today was restored to the USSA.
I got "aviatrix" wrong on the GRE, on the basis of "too obvious". Seems like a regular word to me now ... don't know why I never learned it before my senior year of college.
But you won't catch me campaigning to eliminate "aviatrix" from the GRE!
Did they do this for the benefit of a particular group?
I thought they already dumbed it down a couple of times of the last 30 years.
Idiotocracy, the first movie that was a comedy and now a documentary.
Sorry to the freeper that said that first but it is so true.
"No one who has been paying attention can doubt the main purpose behind the overhauling of the SAT. Members of certain minority groups perform far worse than average on the exam. This fact doesnt prevent most colleges from admitting pre-determined levels of minority students under their race-based preferential admissions systems. But the outcomes under these preferential systems (e.g., vast disparities between the average scores of admitted black and white students), unless concealed, subject the systems to much criticism"
Note also the "bottom line". That tells all.
"I like money..."
Just FYI, Idiocracy.
Well, if the group eligible for acceptance is larger but is defined by lesser standards, then the schools could use a quota system based on, say race, to select students for admission.
Ok, I spelled it wrong.
In third grade I got credit for a good idea.
I thought you just forgot the name. Kudos on the idea.
I've mentioned this before, in slightly different terms, but my Math SAT would have one question:
What's the sine of 45 degrees, exactly ?
Since it's only one question, it's not multiple choice :-)
This is reminiscent of Griggs v. Duke Power. That Supreme Court case, in which a black man did what members of his race usually do, i.e., after failing miserably in a job situation, he ran to the courts for redress...and he got it. That set the stage for what we're now experiencing. You see, businesses, told that they could not administer IQ or other ability tests, went to the college degree as a proxy, hence, the explosion in everyone and his brother going to college.
And NO one really getting a meaningful education either....
And also taking MEANINGLESS "women's studies" courses or other sociopolitical shit—that does NOT help in the real world !!
I'm gonna call you on this. You didn't spell it wrong, you remembered it wrong. "IdioTOcracy" is not a misspelling of "Idiocracy," it's a different word. I mean, it could have been "Idiotocracy," but it wasn't.
But I do know how to spell RESPECT.
I did better than the Brown Clown.
I think that's most likely true.
"But you won't catch me campaigning to eliminate "aviatrix" from the GRE!"
I've always wondered why it's Senator Boxer, not Senatrix Boxer.
"Difficult" words capture subtleties that simpler words don't.
American schools chase after mediocrity.
And this has been happening for many years, starting soon after the Department of Education came into existence.
The data is clear - check it!!
Re your post 20, I think there's a lot of truth in that, based upon what I hear about many students using those loans to essentially "hang out" for four years, avoiding the real world.
They have dumb down the students, so that's why they have to lower the standards. They keep it up nobody will have a "passing" sat score. That's their goal, but this will mask it. (I used to think this was conspiracy theory...but we are actually living it. BS covered with a thin candy coating.)
This is an exhibition, not a contest.
There's a reason for everything, and it's obvious to me why The One slipped up here. It's because of the song, which was the basis of his statement, after all. In the recitation of the spelling, the "E" can get lost in the "R" to "S" transition, so that it's easy to elide it, very much as the "a" in Neil Armstrong's "for a man".
I read the biography of Peter the Great by Massie, and I was quite struck by the story of Peter's son, who had neither the aptitude nor the inclination to succeed his father, and was as gay as an Easter bonnet to boot.
His father the Tsar formally gave him a year ( I think ) to shape up and get Tsar-like, but he took this as a 1 year reprieve and went on a gay romp across Europe. Of course, he paid the price in the end.
Treating the illusion isn't treating the problem... don't they know that?
Blacks and Hispanics do poorly on the SAT, therefore it is racist.
That's because you're a racist.
Well, I can certainly understand that!
Since division is too complex for math teachers to teach, the kids are allowed to complete division questions with the help of a calculator.
Are calculators allowed for students taking the SAT's?????
Back in my days in high school in the fifties, there was no such thing as a calculator (except for the Friden 99 key totalizer, which was unaffordable).
So all our math work was figured out with paper and pencil, and many super long hours of homework!
Its a roundabout way to put pressure on states that opted out of Common Core, said Whitney Neal, director of Grassroots at Freedom Works. If you are legislator from Virginia lets say, this will put pressure on you obtain material to make your district more appealing especially to homebuyers. SAT averages are often included in realtor information and high school success rate is always a selling point.
The man known as the "architect" of Common Core has used his new job running the College Board to deal a devastating blow to critics of the national education standards.
The SAT was revamped to align with the Common Core Standards Initiative, the broad language and math standards adopted by 45 states despite growing complaints that it will result in nationalized control of K-12 curriculum. The announcement on Tuesday was made by College Board President David Coleman, who before taking the post in 2012, played a key role in designing Common Core.
You can't teach high school geometry if the student has had no exposure to things like multiplication without a calculator.
surprise, surprise......
Of course. The 'Rat constituencies -- minorities, gays, and feminists (I accidentally wrote "faminists" -- hope I wasn't channeling something!!) have been running education policy for 40 years now.
Oh, and did I mention the Communists at the core of the educracy and in the NGO cadres?

Mr. Coleman is a wicked, self-centered educator. Dr. Ravitch you dont know how much hurt is in my heart reading about the changes to be made in the SAT. After 50 years as an educator in colleges and secondary schools. His philosophical base is all wrong. The new SATs will discriminate against achievement, against math and language standards, and favor certain ethnic groups over others all points completely against SAT philosophy since its inception. It is a revolution that will produce even more confusion and chaos than we have now (is that possible?). Further, Mr. Coleman is one of those politically correct individuals who is always mouthing off about our becoming more internationally competitive in education. Yet, with further diluting of the SAT (the readjustment of the mean score a few years ago was the first diluting step), we shall actually be less competitive. I do not consider myself to be a maudlin or sentimental person, but when I read about the changes, tears literally came to my eyes. I have dedicated most of my life to the intellectual development of students of all races, religions, and creeds, and regardless of their economic standing. My own father was a blue collar worker, and I had the opportunity to obtain degrees from Ivy League institutions. Like Mr. Coleman, I am Jewish. I read about his bar mitzvah. I also was bar mitzvahed. What did he learn from being Jewish? I learned that you shall not bear false witness (its one of the Ten Commandments). Watering down a standardized test is bearing false witness. Its saying that your score is just as valid as someone elses who received the same score but answered more difficult questions. Is that not a lie no matter how sophisticated your defense of the change might purport to be?

One other point . Mr. Colemans longtime association with Michelle Rhee is, as you clearly state, a red flag regarding the philosophical foundations of his educational goals. Michelle Rhee lacks educational values and ideals and sees education as a form of marketing rather than as a system of passing on knowledge and values. The teacher is not a mere facilitator, nor is he or she to be evaluated according to cost-benefit parameters. Rather, the teacher is the key to unlocking student achievement for a better future and for independent thinking. Further, Michelle Rhee and her ilk are reversing the time honored ideal of in loco parentis where the teachers being placed under the control of the master puppeteers of the Core Curriculum and administrators, teachers, students, and, lastly, parents are under the control of an impersonal system run by technocrats, software engineers, and arch-manipulators, not by loving adults who care about kids. So, to coin a phrase, we now have in loco educationensis where parents must submit to the values and premises of the schools, and the schools must submit (all personnel) to the values and premises of the master controllers. Its Platos Republic, Book VII, writ large. Or, eventually (tomorrow?) will be 1984 or Brave New World.
