These experiences provide prospective teachers with opportunities to complement their academic preparation with "hands-on" experiences under the guidance of expert university and field professionals and to decide if teaching is the right career for them. Research on teachers makes it clear that field experiences, and especially student teaching, are instrumental in setting the stage for careers that are personally fulfilling and professionally rewarding. The challenges facing tomorrow's teachers demand that they take every advantage of their pre-service field experiences to ready themselves for being effective teachers in any type of setting.
Students in any field experience may be required to have a criminal background check run on them prior to placement. Cost can range anywhere from $7.00 up to $40.00 (subject to change at any time).

With the MLL Draft happening before the start of both the college and professional seasons, an interesting new wrinkle is added to May as college teams end their seasons and MLL teams begin theirs.
In past years, the draft would occur after Memorial Day, the official end to the collegiate season. Players from teams that did not make the NCAA Tournament or who did not progress through the postseason had to sit idle until after the championships. MLL teams had to play the first few weeks of their seasons before they could incorporate their college picks. When newly drafted rookies become available, they would join their MLL teams en mass. This was not ideal for either the pro teams or the former collegians. It was difficult for rookies to jump in, carve out a spot and build chemistry on pro teams already developing in the early weeks of the year. The teams had the difficulty of trying to find a use for maybe eight new guys suddenly showing up at practice.
"The fact that you can bring guys in and let them practice with the team, and they can come in right away as opposed to Memorial Day weekend after we've already played three games, is a huge, huge, huge difference from last year," says Chesapeake Bayhawk Alex Smith. "I think this year it's definitely an advantage."
The new draft process now creates opportunities for graduating players and their future organizations. Allowing players to join teams whenever their college season ends means rookies can enter the MLL in a staggered time table. Teams might get a few guys one week, a few guys the next
"I think it makes it easier to get guys acclimated to your team," says Brian Reese, the Denver Outlaw's GM. "Instead of eight new players showing up in one week, we will be able to add a couple at a time, which should help them get on the same page."
Rookies can take a little more time to adjust to the speed and nuances of the professional game, hopefully increasing their chances of contributing to the team and building chemistry with teammates. Coaches and veteran players can also devote more attention to helping rookies develop and see how they may work with the team.
"I think getting the guys as their team's get knocked out of the playoffs gives them an opportunity to get in their a little quicker," says Hamilton National's coach Regy Thorpe. "It's just a better evaluation period for the coaches and the players, to get a feel for their team and certainly their ability and that."
Once a drafted player's team has finished its season, the league will contact him about his intentions on playing, and if they are affirmative, a contract will be sent, says Ryan Guerinot, the MLL Lacrosse Operations Manager. As soon as a player signs his contract and returns it to the league, he is available to play for the team that drafted him. Players petitioning the NCAA for additional years of eligibility will not be sent contracts until they withdraw any NCAA requests to avoid potentially creating eligibility conflicts. MLL teams can bring in their new rookies for practice or games as soon as the league approves the signed contract.
So now as the collegiate ranks have been whittled down to the 16 teams participating in the NCAA Tournament, Inside Lacrosse is tracking who is available to join the league as their scholastic years conclude and their potential professional careers begin.
Check back as the tournament progresses to see who is now joining the ranks of the MLL.
Below you will find a list of players who are eligible to join their respective MLL teams, accompanied by their collegiate positions, institutions, and 2010 stats. Players who have already received and signed contracts, or are in the process of signing contracts, are listed in bold.
Boston Cannons
-David Hawley, middie, Brown (18G, 2A)
-Tom Compitello, attack, Stony Brook (17G, 18A)
-Shamel Bratton*, middie, Virginia (20G, 8A) *Because Virginia has not ended its season yet, Bratton would have to official renounce his eligibility to enter the MLL, as hypothetically he could still play NCAA lacrosse if he were invited back to the Virginia team, says Guerinot. When the Cavaliers' season ends, Bratton, like all drafted UVa players, will be automatically eligible for the league.
Chesapeake Bayhawks
-Barney Ehrmann, defense/LSM, Georgetown (0G, 2A, 62 gbs, 40 cts)
-Andrew Feinberg, attack, Brown, (25G, 10A)
-Dan Hostetler, defense, Georgetown (2G, 1A, 39 gbs, 18 cts)7
-Tom Palesky, goalie, Army (136 saves, .540%, 8.11 goals against)
Denver Outlaws
-Jack McBride*, attack, Princeton (1G, 0A) *McBride was hobbled by a groin injury all season, eventually withdrawing from NCAA play, making him potentially eligibly for a red-shirt year and a continuation of his college career.
Hamilton Nationals (formerly Toronto)
-Kevin Crowley, middie, Stony Brook (30G, 26A, 45 gbs, 11 cts)
-Adam Rand, middie/FO, Stony Brook (187-311 face-offs, .601%)
-Bill Henderson, defense, Army (22 gbs, 16 cts)
-Jeremy Boltus, attack, Army (24G, 45A, 27 gbs)
Long Island Lizards
-Peter Mezzanotte, middie/SSDM, Towson (4G, 14A, 39 gbs, 24 cts)
Rochester Rattlers (formerly Chicago Machine)
-Brian Caulfield, attack/middie, Albany (9G, 22A)
-Matt Chatterdon, middie, LeMoyne (23G, 9A, 15 gbs)
-Jordan McBride, attack, Stony Brook (41G, 7A, 23 gbs)

Jones School Leadership
Thirty first-year Rice MBA students had an opportunity to meet financier and philanthropist George Soros during the annual "Week on Wall Street" to New York City on October 13 -17, 2008. The Rice MBA Finance Club and the Jones School's Career Planning Center, partnered to offer the trek to students interested in previewing and pursuing careers in investment banking. During a visit with Soros Fund Management, LLC chief investment officer Keith Anderson, an '83 Rice MBA alumnus (and co-founder of BlackRock), Mr. Soros made an appearance offering perspectives on the current state of the economy. He said, "the key fact [regarding the economy] is that the current financial crisis is a storm generated within the financial system itself" and "the financial system requires a total paradigm shift." All company representatives seem to agree that despite the tough financial times ahead, this is an exciting time to be a part of the U.S. financial system. In upcoming years, one could expect several new professional opportunities to come out of system revisions. "The Week on Wall Street is a premier event that helps students learn a great deal about the finance industry first hand from professionals working in the world's financial capital. This trek was especially insightful considering the financial crisis, "said Deanna Fuehne, director of the Career Management Center. "Fortunately, the Jones School has always had a great relationship with investment banks as many have operations in Houston in order to service the energy business," she added. In addition to BlackRock and Soros, Rice MBA students also met with companies including Citi, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, Moelis & Company, and UBS.

Guy Says Surgery Gave Him 8-Month Erection
(NEWSER) – Daniel Metzgar had penile implant surgery in December 2009 to improve his love life after trying other measures unsuccessfully ... and let's just say the surgery worked a little too well. The Delaware truck driver says he was left with an erection that didn't go away for eight months, according to his medical malpractice lawsuit, which is being heard this week. But attorneys for the urologist who performed the procedure say Metzgar should have known there was a problem when, by his own admission, his scrotum swelled to volleyball size. But, they say, Metzgar didn't alert the doctor that anything was wrong until April.

ONLY poems listed here or in the current printed anthology are eligible for the 2016-2017 competition.
What People are Saying
"Even people who don't particularly enjoy most forms of poetry can still find a poem that they enjoy AND be very good at reciting if they set their minds to it. What makes poetry so appealing is its ability to describe all sorts of different aspects of the human experience in a new and unique light. There is a poem out there for everyone. Even my dad...maybe."

In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, the Death dog is a Magical Beast. Though originating in D&D, it has became a popular creature used in several different settings, some of which have nothing to do with D&D. It resembles a large, ugly, undead hound with two heads. Each head thinks independently, but they both have a penetrating double-bark. It is similar to a Hell hound, Yeth hound, Shadow mastiff and Werewolf.
Characteristics and habits Edit
The Death dog is an evil creature which lurks in dark forests, deserted dungeons, barren wastelands and abandoned ruins, and it kills anyone it sees on sight. Though it can also attack with its teeth and claws, it has a preferred attack in the form of its disease-causing bite. The abominable disease kills the victim within just a few days, and then causes them to rise as a zombie. Only a disease curing spell can save them. Death Dogs, though somewhat unintelligent, are highly acknowledging and proud of all those that have died via their bite and risen as undead, and gloat over both them and their family and friends.
Death dogs are sometimes used by evil necromancers, power-mad rulers, demon lords, and other such malevolent beings to track down and slay rebels, criminals, escaped slaves or prisoners and the like. They also make good spies and assassins.
Death Dogs cannot speak, but understand both Undercommon and Abbysal.
They are neutral evil in alignment.

Iv been messing with an rc.local
file but I must be doing something wrong?
-.- I cant add [solved] to the title
I have found how to run commands at start up in kde (no thanks to Google)
and...... its a *face palm* moment
I created a shell script
start > settings > system settings > start up and shut downCode:#!/bin/sh xrandr --output default --mode 800x600 --pos 0x0 -- rotate normal wicd up
auto start > script file > add script > start up enabled
This fixes my resolution issue on login and as a bonus connects me to the internet.
I bought this bad boy specially for backtrack.... its a sony vaio p (vgn-p11z/q)
It has a gma500 graphics card (but i don't think my problem is driver related)
Its a piece of crap... but its tiny, has a proper keyboard, wireless, bluetooth, 3g, usb ports.... bla bla bla
So heres my problem (on usb and hdd install)
When I reboot my display settings revert to 1600x768 and the menu bar un-maximizes
The resolution I want to use is 800x600 (if i can set this resolution the menu bar not saving isn't an issue)
Modifying the xorg.conf file has no effect (all the default modes are set to 1024x768 but startx loads at 1600x768)
running the commandworksCode:xrandr -s 800x600
so im wondering how I can get that to run when I startx
Is there a location i can drop this .sh file into so that it will auto run on startx?
Will it need a special name? or will I need to mod another file to point to it?Code:xrandr --output default --mode 800x600 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal
Thanks in advance this has been bugging me for days.

I also thought Haye has done some MMA training, he always speaks highly of it, just give him some takedown defence and let him rip I say, would be brutal.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Haha BBC link is 2008. For a second, I was sitting back wondering how enzo could possibly be 28.
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Yeah, I remember reading that a long time ago haha, Enzo was done then and never found his way back...shame really.
Would still love Haye to have a crack at MMA once he has got the Klitschko's out of his system.

Hi Everyone!
I have a wonderful little girl and I want to share to the world the greatest feeling I have ever felt after learning that I was pregnant a couple of years back. I have Polycystic Ovaries syndrome (PCOS) and it was really difficult for me to conceive. Now after a great miracle, I became a better person, because I became a mum.
I joined this forum to get to know each and everyone of you, to get more insights and perhaps to feel good that no matter how difficult motherhood can be, I am not alone.

Hello and welcome to the forums! I love how creative you were in choosing your member name... mylifemylovemylittlegirl.
As you well know, it can be difficult to conceive with PCOS, but not impossible! You are blessed to have a little girl, and I'll do all I can to give you ideas for improving your fertility so you have the best chances of conceiving again.
Looking forward to getting to know you.
Warm Regards,

New Orleans Heritage
Posted by
After my trip to build houses in a hurricane-ravaged New Orleans neighborhood, I'm slightly tanner, much better with a hammer, and more knowledgeable about the Crescent City's history and culture.
Our volunteer group worked on the
Musicians' Village
, a Habitat for Humanity project in the Upper Ninth Ward that celebrates New Orleans' musical heritage.
Amidst all the construction, I did get to see a few historical places, including:
Preservation Hall
has been a popular place to hear old-school New Orleans Jazz since 1961. Only a hundred people at a time can pack inside. I sat on the floor about a foot from the band and had to duck the trombone a couple of times.
Louisiana State Museum
has history exhibits in the Cabildo (see an inside view below; it was the seat of government under Spanish rule), where the Louisiana Purchase agreement was signed in 1803. A genealogical tidbit I picked up there: Don't overlook New Orleans as your immigrant ancestors' arrival port. Many Europeans who wanted to settle along or west of the Mississippi River heard they'd have an easier time reaching their destinations from New Orleans.
New Orleans has strong Catholic roots. A church has stood on the
St. Louis Cathedral
site since 1718. The current building (below, with the Cabildo on the left) was finished in 1793 and overhauled during the 1850s. (Read more about Louisiana churches from John Kendall's
digitized History of New Orleans
On my list for the next visit: The
National World War II Museum
St. Louis Cemetery
and the
New Orleans Public Library genealogy department
. (We cover this and other Louisiana repositories in The
April 2005 Family Tree Magazine's
Louisiana State Research guide.)

Preview FamilySearch's New Record Search
Posted by Allison
You've probably heard about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' ambitious plans to index and digitize all the millions of records in its collection and make them available for free on its
FamilySearch Web site
Now you can get a taste of what's to come:
FamilySearch Labs
has added its new record searching interface to the roster of projects the public can preview.
FamilySearch spokesperson Paul Nauta says this system will let genealogists search Family History Library microfilms that have been digitized to date, as well as digital images of genealogical records as they're acquired from the field. The system also allows for quicker posting of the indexes being generated by volunteers through
FamilySearch Indexing
. It'll be part of the new, revamped FamilySearch site the church plans to roll out this fall.
To see a demo, go to FamilySearch Labs and click Record Search, then select the link to watch the Getting Started video. You can also get a sneak peek at the Pedigree Viewer (for online family trees) and Life Browser (for saving and sharing photos and stories).

Occupations of Our Ancient Ancestors
Posted by Allison
If our ancestors scoured today's help wanted ads, they'd probably find many modern jobs baffling (Application Systems Support Engineer? Analytics Consulting Analyst?). But their occupations are often equally bewildering to us, especially the further back in time you go.
Case in point: This morning, I heard a
radio interview
with Vicki Leon, author of
Working IX to V
, a new book about professions in the ancient world. Consider a few of the career opportunities for our long, long ago ancestors:
—Primary job function is carrying a fan and flapping it on command.
—Seeking highly motivated sandal remover. This position is responsible for changing boss' street shoes and party slippers, and ensuring he or she is wearing situationally appropriate footwear at all times.
Praepositus camelorum
—Only the best in beast supplying need apply. Must demonstrate proven ability to track, capture and supply animals used in Roman gladiatorial contests and circuses.
Armpit Plucker
—Steady hand and high tolerance to shrieking strongly preferred.
You'll find a
glossary of occupations

Ancestry.com Adds Indian Censuses, French and Italian Sites
Posted by Allison
From 1885 to 1940, the US government required American Indian reservations to take annual censuses of their members. Those census rolls, microfilmed by the
National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA), serve as a good starting place for genealogists investigating American Indian ancestry.
"For the early years, they help bridge a difficult identity transition, listing both an individual's Indian name and their English or Christian name," explains professional genealogist James W. Warren, a specialist in American Indian research. Some rolls record annual births and deaths—creating a "vital-records snapshot" of the tribe. "And for many years, they list each individual's number on the previous year's census roll, helping researchers identify maiden names and make multigenerational connections," says Warren.
To use the microfilm (film M595), you have to know what tribe your ancestor belonged to find him in the records. But this week,
added the 1885-to-1940 Indian censuses in searchable, digitized format—offering more flexibility to find ancestors if you don't know every detail (or it wasn't recorded as you think it would be). You can search by name, tribe, birth date, family members and other parameters. The new collection is part of Ancestry.com's US Deluxe subscription ($179.40 per year).
Warren warns that despite the federal mandate, there are record gaps for most reservations and agencies. "But an amazing number of rolls are available," he says. "Combined with other records generated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Indian census rolls help make reservation-affiliated American Indians the best-documented ancestors in the United States for this time period."
If your family belonged to one of the so-called Five Civilized Tribes—Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek or Seminole—this collection won't help you. Instead, you'll want to use the Dawes rolls, the official roster of those tribes' then-members, created from 1898 to 1907. Both the applications and final enrollment records are available on microfilm (film M1186) and digitally through NARA's Archival Research Database. (Try

Brainteasers for Genealogy Buffs (With a Cash Prize)
Posted by Allison
I love puzzles. I've frittered away more hours than I care to admit filling in
grids and crosswords. (By the way, what's a five-letter word for "impish fairy"?) In high school, my peers ribbed me for being probably the only teenager to faithfully complete the cryptoquips in the daily newspaper.
Now there's a Web site catering to people like me—that is, addicts of puzzles and family history.
, the brainchild of consultant and professional genealogist Daniel Lynch, will launch an inventive online contest involving genealogy-themed
puzzles July 1. Even if you're not a puzzle junkie, the potential $15,000 reward for solving the grand-prize puzzle will probably entice you to give the site a look.
It's like "Concentration" with marketing and philanthropic twists. The rebus is obscured by a grid. As advertisers buy up squares of the grid, the portion of the puzzle underneath those ads are revealed to contest participants. The ad money goes into the grand-prize pool, which will total $30,000 if all the ad spaces sell before someone solves the puzzle. Whatever the prize amount, GenealogyPays
will split it 50/50
between the winner and one genealogical society he or she chooses from those that register on the site.
So how do you win? Be the first person to submit the correct answer to the question posed in the puzzle. You need to register (free) to participate. In addition to the grand-prize, the site will offer monthly, weekly and bonus puzzles. Learn more and see a sample rebus on GenealogyPays'

Project to Bring SC Slave Lineages Online
Posted by
For African-American genealogists, breaking through the brick wall of slavery can require thorough, painstaking research into the records of the slaveowning families—with no guarantee of success. You can't simply log on to a Web site and expect to find meticulously researched and reconstructed lineages of slave families that connect all the dots for you.
But that's exactly what three organizations plan to create for descendants of the slaves of Charleston, SC's
Magnolia Plantation
and others operated by the Drayton family. In a project funded by the plantation's foundation, the University of South Florida's all-volunteer
Africana Heritage Project
will pore over the Draytons' plantation journals to re-create the family trees of its slaves. Those family files will be posted on genealogy wiki
, where family history researchers will be able to access them for free. Africana Heritage Project founding director Toni Carrier says the files—in GEDCOM format—will appear gradually as the research progresses. "We aim to have the first batch up by mid-July," she says.
Magnolia Plantation is also collaborating with the Africana Heritage Project on a new Web site to be launched in March 2008:
Lowcountry Africana
will document African-American heritage in South Carolina, Georgia and northeastern Florida's historic rice-growing region—in particular, its unique
culture. The site will feature slaveholding families' plantation records, a searchable database of primary historical documents, name indexes to Lowcountry history and genealogy books, historical photographs and more.
Carrier encourages genealogists and families with ties (or suspected ties) to Drayton family plantations to
her organization. "We would love to invite them to join this exciting journey of discovery," she says.

: These enumerations provide a snapshot of a family, including the names, ages and occupations of household members, relationships among them and immigration information. The city and county are at the top of each page; the address is on the left. Look at every census during your relative's lifespan.
City directories
: Most American cities (and some rural areas) published directories annually or biannually beginning in the mid-1800s. These alphabetical listings of residents include names, street addresses and occupations.
Some directories include addresses for businesses and public buildings, maps and advertisements. Ads may provide clues about family businesses and details about the neighborhood. To locate city directories for your family's area, visit
. Your local library probably has directories for your city. Some large libraries have other towns' directories; if yours doesn't, you may be able to borrow them on microfilm through interlibrary loan.
Telephone directories

Ancestry.com Re-enters the DNA Business
Posted by
It was only a matter of time.
plans to sell DNA test kits and add a genetic genealogy database to its array of research offerings.
It's made possible by a partnership between Ancestry.com's parent company,
The Generations Network
(TGN), and Salt Lake City-based
Sorenson Genomics
—one of the country's largest DNA testing labs, the creator of the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation (SMGF) genetic genealogy database, and until now, the owner of consumer genetic genealogy testing lab
Relative Genetics
Relative Genetics will close, and its customers and Y-Match test results database will become part of TGN. Ancestry.com will market the tests, with results to be added to Ancestry.com's database, and host the surname projects formerly at Relative Genetics.
Relative Genetics spokesperson Peggy Hayes says the free
Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation database
, which isn't part of Relative Genetics, is not part of the partnership. "SMGF will continue its mission as a philanthropic organization," she added.
Ancestry.com's DNA tests will cost less than $200 and be available later this summer. Sorenson's labs will provide the testing kits and analyze customers' DNA.
The DNA test results database will be free at Ancestry.com. Former Relative Genetics customers will automatically become Ancestry.com registered users, who can access the site's free services.
The customers will be able to control privacy settings, or opt out altogether by contacting Relative Genetics before July 15. (see
Relative Genetics' FAQ page
for more on what this development means for customers).
You may remember the GenetiKit, TGN predecessor MyFamily.com's first foray into genetic genealogy. Also a partnership with Relative Genetics, the GenetiKit Y-DNA test kit debuted in 2002 for $219 and faded away a few years ago.

Abstract: Our current regulations require that all underground coal mine operators develop and follow a mine ventilation plan for each mechanized mining unit that we approve. However, we do not have a requirement that provides for verification of each plan's effectiveness under typical mining conditions. Consequently, plans may be implemented by mine operators that could be inadequate to control respirable dust. In response to comments received on the July 2000 proposed rule for MSHA to withdraw the rule, MSHA published a new proposed rule on March 6, 2003. The proposed rule would have required mine operators to verify, through sampling, the effectiveness of the dust control parameters for each mechanized mining unit specified in the approved mine ventilation plan. The use of approved powered air--purifying respirators and/or verifiable administrative controls would have been allowed as a supplemental means of compliance when MSHA had determined that all feasible engineering or environmental controls were exhausted. Public hearings were held in May 2003, and the rulemaking record originally scheduled to close on June 4, 2003, was extended until July 3, 2003. On June 24, 2003, MSHA announced that all work on the final rule would cease and the rulemaking record would remain open in order to obtain information concerning PDMs being tested by NIOSH. A Federal Register notice was published on July 3, 2003, extending the comment period indefinitely.

EMC's recent acquisition of Greenplum has already bore fruit in the form of a new hybrid data warehousing system, as predicted by industry analysts. The company today announced the EMC Greenplum Data Computing Appliance -- note the use of "computing" in place of "warehousing" -- designed to bring order, quick transportability, and resilience to organizations' ever-growing pools of widespread, unstructured data.
With the announcement, EMC brazenly calls out competitors such as Oracle, which, thanks to its acquisition of Sun, offers a hybrid hardware-software bundle of its own, the Exadata line, combining seemingly incompatible data-warehousing capabilities with OLTP. Other plays in the space include Teradata and Netezza; IBM is in the process of acquiring the latter in a similar effort to take on Oracle.
[ Are your storage requirements out of control? Then start by eliminating data redundancy. InfoWorld contributor Keith Schultz lays it all out in our Deep Dive Report on Data Deduplication. ]
The EMC Greenplum DCA comes loaded with the latest version of Greenplum's database software, now at the respectable age of 4.0. Version 4.0, according to EMC, brings advanced workload management, fault tolerance, and analytics to the database's existing resume of complex query optimization, embedded languages and analytics, and monitoring and administration features.
The database continues to run on third-party hardware from companies such as HP and IBM. Not surprisingly, EMC is declaring its homegrown hardware to be fully optimized to reap top performance from Greenplum Database 4.0, yielding, for example, fast query performance and data loading.
In addition, the EMC Greenplum DCA can serve as a data backup and recovery system, drawing on EMC's Data Domain storage deduplication technology. Among the appliance's tricks, its capacity can be effectively doubled, according to EMC, by using free space on an organization's SAN. Backup data can be pushed to alternative storage media, such as tape, thus freeing up space on the machine while potentially saving on the expense of using more spinning disks than necessary for storage.
The appliance also works with existing EMC storage systems' RecoverPoint feature, through which data can be rapidly moved from site to site for the purpose of, among other things, data recovery.
In its announcement, EMC emphasizes speed, capacity, and scalability as major differentiators, compared to Oracle's Exadata X2-8, the Netezza TwinFin 12, and the TeraData 2580. For example, EMC claims its system scans uncompressed data at a rate of 24GB per second and loads at a speed of more than 10TB per hour. The Oracle system, EMC will tell you, scans at 25GB per second (but only under very specific circumstances) while loading at around 5TB per hour. Netezza and TeraData both scan at 10GB per second, according to EMC. Netezza loads at 2TB per second and TeraData's numbers are "to be determined."
In terms of capacity and scalability, EMC reports that the Greenplum appliance can expand to 4,608 database cores spread over 24 racks. A single rack can hold 36TB of uncompressed data or 144TB of compressed data. That, EMC claims, represents up to three times more scalability and up to four times as many cores as competitive systems.

A SCHOOL which was placed under Special Measures one-year ago has appointed a new permanent headteacher.
The Wye Valley School in New Road, Bourne End, has appointed former Wycombe High assistant head, Andrea Jacobson, as their new headteacher.
Mrs Jacobson has been interim headteacher at The Wye Valley School since September 2013 but has now been appointed full-time.
She said: "I feel privileged to be the Headteacher of The Wye Valley School. All young people have a right to receive a first-class education, regardless of ability or background."
She added: "Since taking up post as the Interim Headteacher in September 2013, I have been wholly focused on leading the School to become the school of first choice for the local community, parents and students.
"Under my leadership the School will have 'value and aspiration' at its core: the value of students' education, the valuing of community and high aspirations from and by all. The Wye Valley School will have a culture that is student-centred, hard-working and purposeful."
In a letter home to student's parents the decision was said to have been made after an "intensive" two days of interviews.
Involved in the interviews were governors from the IEB, members of the new multi-academy trust, senior staff at the school and students.
In the Ofsted report from last year inspectors sited teachers expectations as being too low and said there was often a weakness in marking, with teachers giving too little guidance as to how children can improve.
They also said school leaders "have not done enough" to bring better lessons and governors lack a detailed understanding of the school's weaknesses and are not in a position to challenge school leaders, the report states.
Mrs Jacobson said: "Leaving my previous school, Wycombe High School, is of course sad. I invested many years of hard-work and have an abundance of fond memories of students and staff.
"However, as I say to all students, life is enhanced by seeking out and approaching new challenges with determination and energy. Additionally my ties with Wycombe High continue as it is the sponsoring school for when Wye Valley shortly converts to an academy.
She added: "This is an exciting opportunity for both schools to develop and provide resources and expertise across the schools and ultimately improve outcomes for all students.
"The Wye Valley journey has already begun and I will continue to work diligently, with an equally committed team of staff, to ensure that all students have a first class learning experience. It is an honour to be leading our school on this focused journey to excellence."
Chair of IEB, Dame Marcia Twelftree, said: "I am pleased that we can now begin to move the school forward with stable management.
"The selection panel were convinced that Mrs Jacobson has the skills and passion needed to continue the excellent start she has made on the journey of removing the school from Special Measures."

|Naruto Shippūden #375
Asking Obito if he'd had enough of their genjutsu battle, Kakashi and Obito form the seal of confrontation as they begin their real battle. They start to think back to their childhood days as young ninja, when they fought under the instructions of their sensei. Kakashi remembers the "old Obito", who was just like Naruto, and resolves that to protect Naruto and the old Obito, he will have to defeat the current one. As both men deliver final blows, Kakashi impales Obito through his chest with a lightning-infused kunai, while Obito stabs Kakashi with one of his black rods. Obito, unwilling to give up, states that defeating him will not gain any advantage to winning the war despite having won their battle and warps back to the battlefield. Meanwhile, Madara impales Hashirama's wood clone, and notes that Hashirama was putting too much energy into restraining the Ten-Tails. Though the clone attempts to dispute Madara's words, it is split in half before it can complete its statement. As Obito arrives atop the Ten-Tails' head, Madara decides that Obito had served his purpose to him, and though he wanted to fight Hashirama before he became a jinchūriki, the situation could not be helped. Forming a seal which affects Obito whose right side begins to spike out black rods and turn black, Madara declares that it was time to revive him with the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique. As this occurs, Obito remembers Rin once again before forming a seal of his own and letting out a cry which draws the attention of many on the battlefield.

Price Paid: £435
Original Review: August 11, 2003
Bought it on the reports for durability found on the web. To start, I am really very very pleased with this tent; it's well designed and made, looks great, and is good return on the money. I've now had 12 months experience in heat, frost, and heavy rain—frost is best!
The tent gives confidence; it'll stand very heavy weather. Inside is bright and easy to keep clean with good pockets and small loops for hanging led lights on. Zips are strong, but can snag quite easily on the fly sheet fabric. Easy to keep ventilated, which I've found essential to avoid condensation. Woke up in Glen Etive to find the inside coated in frost as I'd not had the zips down.
Problems ? It's a mountain tent designed without compromise for saving lives in bad weather—not the most convenient for overnight in the park. I'd like easier access and removable door panels with a wider top opening. Rain does drip from the peak onto the internal door and into the tent if the zips are not precisely placed. Undoing the fly zips from the bottom often resulting in a wet back; opening from the top means crawling over the door on the grass.
Materials are good, but I have questions about the pole sleeves which are fragile and susceptable to tearing when inserting the poles. Poles are great, precise and colour coded.
Highly recommended for tough camping. i love mine.

- Access doors could be designed better for non-Arctic locations
Wrote my original review (above) in 2003 and just saw a user write a hard critique. My son now owns my original Super Quasar as I bought a Hilleberg Nammtj 3GT to replace it. However, I was very disappointed with that tent and sold it after one season. I then bought another Super Quasar and remain delighted with it.
Still love it.
Thanks for the update on your Super Quasars, Gary. I've put your original review under your account as well.

I have been using this tent for the last four winters…
Design: 4 season geodesic design
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: easy
Weight: 4,4 kg
Price Paid: 800
I have been using this tent for the last four winters in the Alps and in Scotland.
-It's an amazing tent, roomy enough for 2 with all the gear for winter. The two entrances are a must for winter, and you still have a lot of place inside.
-The set-up takes about 5 minutes, and no more than an extra 4 minutes in delicate conditions.
Poles and geodesic design is a must: it's incredibly stable even in winter conditions in the Alps. This tent gives a lot of confidence: at least you have a shelter when you come back form your line.
-I have it in red and I still don't understand the green color...?
-The fabric seem to be good and I have had no problems at all with rain and all sorts of snow conditions. I stock them unrolled, dry of course and let the poles unplaced so the elastics are not stressed.
-The groundsheet protector is worth buying: as with all tents, when you use them on rocks they break. It's an extra layer for minimum isolation and you could always use this sheet as an emergency cover.
-I guess you can sleep 3 but then all equipement has to be in the entrances- wich is not a good idea for winter conditions.
-I have only one regret about this tent: the entrances. They are not protected enough for the velcro closure at the top of the openings open easily in strong winds and snowstorm conditions. I had to improve them with pression system and larger velcro. If you really need a bigger entrance, then go for the Hyperspace from Terra Nova: it's a kind of a Super Quasar, but bigger!
Apart from that, it's an essential piece of my gear and I would buy it again -especially when you see the others having these ridiculous and unfairly expensive North Face tents made in Asia!!! If you need a 2 persons mountain/expedition tent, rough and tough, the "Super Quasar should be your choice.
Bought to replace 13-year-old Quasar. Must have spent…
Design: 4 pole geodesic
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: Inner first, simple procedure, easier with 2 in strong wind
Weight: 4.4 Kg (9 lb 11 oz)
Price Paid: £420 (pounds sterling)
Bought to replace 13-year-old Quasar. Must have spent a year in total in the original tent, never leaked and withstood storms in Scotland, Norway and Alps. I've had the Super Quasar for about six months now:
1. Quality excellent, best fabrics, heavy but stormproof.
2. Slightly bigger than Quasar but heavy, 3 people and gear a squeeze - don't try it unless you have to.
3. Groundsheet seems lightweight compared to original neoprene coated nylon so bought groundsheet protector -- more hassle and weight.
4. The Super Quasar inner shape makes the porches smaller -- harder to cook without burning the thing down. When the door is more than slightly open at top, rain drips onto inner -- design fault?
5. Mesh pole sleeves stop that annoying drip of condensation I used to get at the top (better ventilation).
6. I've heard of problems with new style zips but have had no trouble personally.
Heavy, stormproof, the best materials, good customer service. You know it won't blow down or leak but then a Quasar won't either. Appears to have become the new darling of campsite posers. These people seem to be reproducing at a great rate in their Super Quasars and are another reason to avoid campsites and head for the hills. Perhaps Terra Nova could impregnate the tents with contraceptive to stop this menace.
With hindsight, I should have got the plain Quasar: lighter, bigger porches and strong enough. Tried a few tents over the years and for bad North European weather, Terra Nova are the best.
You'd better move over -- here comes a Super Quasar...
Design: 4 Season Exped. dome
Sleeps: 2-3
Ease of Setup: 10 mins - 5 if well practised (or rained on)
Weight: 4.2kg ish
Price Paid: £400 (beat that)
You'd better move over -- here comes a Super Quasar...
They don't really make tents this good, do they?
Indestructible, super ventilating yet warm (only roof level air is changed so you can sleep with top of doors open in howling gale). Splits easily between 2 or 3 people.
Acres of space for two people -- spending a whole day trapped in the tent in Scotland has never been so "pleasurable"?? Snug for three (especially with Steve's feet in your face).
Sorry, but if you're thinking of buying a TNF MTN25 -- don't. If you've just bought one -- swap it...quickly!
This really is the best tent for 2/3 people I've ever used.
Gripes -- If on unlevel ground the inner walls can be a tad exposed unless you are prepared to spend some time re-tensioning the fly.
Awesome, confidence-inspiring bit of kit. Pretty easy…
Design: 4 season expedition dome
Sleeps: 2-3
Ease of Setup: 10 minutes in very high winds, 5 in normal
Weight: 4 kg
Price Paid: 410 pounds
Awesome, confidence-inspiring bit of kit.
Pretty easy to pitch; two of us did so in very high winds, at night. Once up and pegged down is rock solid, barely moves.
Large enough for two people with lots of gear, could sleep three quite easily.
Spent this last weekend in the Peak District (moorlands in northern-ish England), and suffered full gale-force winds and rain. At a campsite with 10 tents, the three Terra Nova tents really stood out as those handling the conditions perfectly.
In my humble opinion, this is the BEST 2-man mountain…
Design: 4-5 season geodesic
Sleeps: 2-3
Ease of Setup: Fully erect in 10 minutes (ooer missus!). No real difficulties
Weight: 4.4kg
Price Paid: £414-£460
In my humble opinion, this is the BEST 2-man mountain tent in the world. Put it up at Sligachan on Skye (that's in Scotland), and you have the best, most sexy looking tent in a campsite that's full of the best of the rest.
I camped on the shore at John O'Groats, and in the morning the chap in the tent next to us said he'd not slept a wink because of the wind. I'm not a deep sleeper, but I didn't even notice the wind!
This tent is built like a brickhouse. There's nothing better than being able to trust fully the tent you're in, no matter what the elements throw at it, and that's the feeling I get with the Super Quasar.
With two people, it still has space to spare. It's got good headroom, and the porches are as big as you'd need. The doors open in all kinds of configurations. The fabric is absolutely excellent.
Everything about this tent is top quality.
My only gripes are:
The doors have stiffened storm hoods which makes getting in a little difficult.
It's a bit on the heavy side if you were backpacking alone.

Jobs lost at Ohio Savings
(Cleveland) - Ohio Savings Bank released dozens of employees today, the financial institution laid off 65 workers, 55 from the East 9th Street headquarters in downtown Cleveland.
The layoffs are being blamed on a decline in mortgage lending activity due to a rise in interest rates. An Ohio Savings spokesman says they have seen a reduction in applications for mortgages and the refinancing of mortgages.
The spokesperson says the company has assigned a human resources team to help the impacted employees move forward.

Christ formally takes His place in dependence among the remnant on earth
With Psalm 16 we begin a very important series of psalms-those in which the connection of Christ Himself with the remnant is brought before us by the divine Spirit. In Psalm 16, Christ takes formally His place among the remnant. It is quoted by the apostle Peter to prove His resurrection, and the principle of it is referred to in the epistle to the Hebrews to show His participation in human nature.* After examining many critical authorities, I adhere to the English translation of the second verse. The third leaves the sense obscure, from not changing the preposition. "But to the saints" answers to "said unto the Lord," not to "extendeth not to thee." He says to the Lord, "My goodness ... to the saints, ... in them is all my delight." Thus this psalm has a most important and deeply interesting place. It is Christ taking His place in grace amongst the poor remnant of Israel of the servant to tread the path of life which none as in flesh had found in this world, and that leading through death to beyond it, where there was fulness of joy. He takes the place of dependence, of trust, not of divine equality. And He who says He does not, must have had title to do so, or need not have said it. He was taking another place. He takes the place of servant, and calls Jehovah His Lord. Nor was this all. He takes a place, however alone He might be in perfection and perfect in doing it, with the saints on earth. And this He does, not merely as a fact, but with the fullest affection. His delight is in them. He joys to call them the excellent of the earth.
{*The quotation in Hebrews 2 is literally from the LXX of Isaiah 8.}
Note further, it is not with the heavenly saints He associates Himself, nor are those of whom He speaks here united to Him in heaven, but He associated with them. Some may go to heaven by that path of life of which He has Himself left the track, but His association with them, and theirs with Him, is under the title of the excellent of the earth.
We may further remark, that the whole psalm breathes this spirit, and takes this place, of dependence, so precious for the poor remnant. It is not, Destroy this temple and I will raise it up in three days that was taking a divine place. His body was a temple; He raised it up Himself. Here He leans as man on Jehovah in both perfect. "Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption." Let us now consider the contents of this psalm in more detailed order. We have already noticed the first verses; but the principles are of the last importance, as presenting Christ taking this place, so that I return to them.
Messiah taking the place of a man with God
Messiah looks as man to God to preserve Him. He takes the place of man. It is not merely a Jew already there calling on Jehovah, but a man with God. He puts His trust in Him. The principle of trust Paul alleges in Hebrews 2 as a witness that Messiah was the true man. Next, He takes the place of a servant. He says to Jehovah for now He takes His place before Him "Thou art my Adon, my Lord." This is a definite and distinct place. He moreover takes His place, not in divine goodness towards others, but before God in a man's place. My goodness, He says, extendeth not to thee. Thus He said to the young man who came to Him, "Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is God." But though in truth alone, looked at in His relationship to man, for all were sinners, He takes His place with the remnant, the excellent of the earth. This He did historically, when He went to the baptism of John Baptist, with those whom the Spirit led to God in the holy path of repentance. They went first there. He associates Himself with them in grace. Still, we look on to the full result in the last days even here. He will not hear of any God but Jehovah. The sorrows of those who did should be multiplied. Jehovah Himself was His portion, and He maintained Him in the sure enjoyment of that which He was to enjoy in the purpose of God, and pleasant was the place where the lines had fallen to Him. It was Jehovah's inheritance on the earth that was His portion, and this is specially in Israel. Such was His portion; but then there was His path first. Here He blesses Jehovah too. His counsel was always His guide. He walked by it. The secret of Jehovah was with Him to guide Him; and away from men, when all was brought into the silence of His heart and its inmost feelings, His own inmost thoughts were light and guidance. It is ever so when we are in communion with God; for, though in the heart (such thoughts are always His light in it, the fruit, and the moral fruit, of the working of His Spirit) there was the positive direction and guidance of Jehovah, and those inward apprehensions of His soul, the result of divine work in it.
The perfection of Christ as a man
In Christ of course this was perfect. It is well, while judging of all by the word, not to neglect this working of the soul, as moved and taught of God. The mind of the Spirit in moral discernment, is found in it. Besides this guidance, there was positive purpose of heart. He had set Jehovah always before Him. This only direction did He follow, and because of His being near, and at His right hand, He would not be moved. It was not self-dependence, but trust in Jehovah. This was indeed the path of life, though as yet unmanifested in visible power (compare Rom. 1: 4).
Hence He would rejoice through all, and pass through death with unclouded hope; His flesh should rest in it; as a man He did not fear it. Jehovah, whom He trusted, would not leave His soul in hades, nor suffer His Holy One to see corruption. Soul and body, though going respectively to the place of departed spirits and the place of corruption, would not be left in the one or see the other. Jehovah would show Him the path of life through, but beyond, death. How blessedly He did so! It led up to brighter joys than Israel's blessing, among whom He had come to sojourn. There indeed the excellent of the earth could not follow Him (John 13: 33, 36; John 21: 19). He must first dry up the waters of Jordan for them, and make it the path for them also where He was gone. For that path, since it led through death, must lead, if it was indeed the path of life, to what was beyond it the presence of Him, in whose presence there is fulness of joy and at whose right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Resurrection, the blessed issue and result of the Lord's path here
Such is the blessed issue and result of the Lord's path across this world, where He took His place among the saints, and trod, in confidence on Jehovah (into whose hands He committed His spirit), the path which, if He took us up, must lead through death, and then found the path again in resurrection, and so as man up to Him with whom is fulness of joy. The Spirit of holiness marked the life of the Son of God all through. He was declared to be such, with power, by resurrection; but, being man, passed up into the presence of God. The holy confiding life found its perfect joy there. He is (blessed be God, and the name of that blessed One who has trod this path!) our forerunner.*
{*Compare as to a special aspect of this, John 12: 23, 24; and the Lord's consequent place, in chapters 11, 12, 13, as we have seen, had given testimony to His place according to Psalm 2. See note on Psalm 8.}
Christ's position in the midst of Israel; the difference between Israel's associations with Christ and those of the assembly
Let us dwell for a moment on the connection of this with other scriptures, partially referred to. It is of importance, as showing Christ's position in the midst of Israel, and the difference of their associations with Him, from those of the saints of the assembly. And besides that, we get the divinely perfect feelings of Christ Himself in this position: He is in association with the saints in Israel; only He voluntarily takes it (that is, that into which they are called out in witness of their return to God). We see (Heb. 2: 13) that this association is with those that are sanctified. He makes one company with that pious remnant manifested thus for God. He is not ashamed to call them brethren, having taken up their cause and consequently become man, become flesh and blood, because the children whom God had given Him partook of it.
We see that He really became man, but to identify Himself with the interests, and to secure the blessing of the saints,* of the remnant, of the children whom God was bringing to glory, and who are distinguished from the mass of Israel, to whom they were to be a sign (see Isaiah 8: 18). In this passage the condition of this remnant and the expectation of better days are considered. Leaving aside the assembly which is not the subject of prophecy, the passage passes, as we often see, from Christ's personal connection with the saints in Israel to this position and portion of these saints in the last days. This is with sufficient distinctness given us in this passage of Isaiah to help us much in understanding the way in which the Spirit of God does pass from the previous history of the saints in Israel over to the last days, leaving out the assembly altogether. Christ, in spirit, contemplates these only His connection, that is, with the remnant of Israel, and so far with the nation, and thus passes over the whole history of the assembly, to Himself again in the same connection with the nation in the last days.
{*Thus, becoming man, and through glorifying God in His work as man, He has also title under God's gift over all flesh.} 76
"Bind up the testimony," He says (Isaiah 8: 16, 17), "seal the law among my disciples, and I will wait* upon Jehovah, who hideth his face from the house of Israel, and will look for him." This was when He had become the rejected sanctuary and the stumbling-stone.
{*This is the passage quoted in Hebrews 2 "I will put my trust in him."}
It continues to the final glory, when Israel shall possess Him as the Son born to them (Isaiah 9: 6, 7). If we do not abstract the assembly, it is impossible to understand the prophecies of the Old Testament. The assembly has her heavenly portion, but Christ can consider His relationship with His earthly people separately.
Trust alone in Jehovah ending in the highest joy -- the presence of God
To return to Psalm 16, the reader will remark the reference to idolatry (one of God's great controversies with Israel) in the fourth verse. From Matthew 12: 43-45, and Isaiah 65 we learn that the Jews will fall into idolatry in the latter days. Jehovah alone is acknowledged by the prophetic Spirit of Christ. It is after this is all done away that He will rejoice, in the days that are to come, in the portion which Jehovah has given Him with the excellent of the earth. The certainty of this hope is connected with the resurrection (which is a necessary condition to its fulfilment, and which the favour of Jehovah secures to His Anointed) in all the virtue of that power which will not suffer His Holy One to see corruption. Hence the apostle refers to the sure mercies of David; that is, to the accomplishment of all God's promises to Israel, as a proof that Christ was to rise from the dead now no more to return to corruption. Nothing can be more beautiful (if it be not His death) than the expression of the Lord's feelings given us in this psalm the expression by Himself of the place He has taken, and that with the saints. Jehovah is His own portion. How truly was it so! What other had He? Yet His delight was in the saints. Do we not see it in His disciples? With the first step of spiritual life in the remnant, shown in their going to John's baptism of repentance, He identifies Himself who surely had no need of repentance. So, as a faithful man, an Israelite, He sets Jehovah always before Him. So, even in death, He rests, in confidence, on Him for resurrection, that path of life through, and in spite of, death (and which He has opened for us), and there Jehovah, God, His Father's presence, is (He knows) the fulness of joy; at His right hand pleasures for evermore. This is the highest proper joy of the mind and Spirit of Christ; not glory, but the presence of God.Synopsis by John Darby

By Rich Myhre and Aaron Swaney Herald Writers
EVERETT — Jerry Jensen learned much of what he knows about football from Terry Ennis, his coach for four seasons at Cascade High School.
So it was particularly meaningful for Jensen on Tuesday when he was named the new head coach at Archbishop Murphy High School, the program later begun by Ennis and one he quickly raised to prominence.
"I'm honored to be able to coach at the same place where (Ennis) started," said Jensen, a 1993 Cascade graduate who later played at the University of Washington and for two seasons in the NFL. "I witnessed the very first practice he had there, and I remember thinking, 'What in the heck is Coach Ennis doing?'
"But it was absolutely amazing what he created here, and to be a part of that is an honor," he said.
In 2004, Jensen became an Archbishop Murphy assistant coach with Ennis, who died in 2007. After leaving Archbishop Murphy in 2009, Jensen was out of football until this past season, when he was a volunteer assistant coach at Mount Vernon High School.
This will be his first head coaching position, and he expects to draw on many of the lessons, philosophies and strategies that he learned from Ennis.
"Coach Ennis always got the most out of his players, whether it was in the weight room or on the field," Jensen said. "He expected more out of you than you ever knew you had.
"When I first met Coach Ennis as a freshman, he wasn't putting up with the stuff that I was used to being able to get away with, so we didn't really hit it off right away. But I learned to respect the man for the character and the values he had. And ultimately he raised everybody up around him."
Under Ennis, Archbishop Murphy became a state power, not "because we had all these great athletes," Jensen said. "It was because of the Everyday Joes who'd learned to do things the right way."
Jensen inherits a program that has experienced considerable turmoil in the last year. Dave Ward, who led the Wildcats to the 2010 and 2011 state championship games, was put on administrative leave before being forced out in early February. His replacement, Bill Marsh, resigned four games into the 2012 season. Interim head coach Michael Allison was put on paid administrative leave the day after his promotion when it was learned he had an improper relationship with a former student while coaching previously in Oregon.
Archbishop Murphy athletic director Jerry Zander said Jensen's absence of head coaching experience "doesn't worry me. It wasn't an issue for us. You can't get any head coaching experience without a chance. Jerry's a high character guy and we've seen him coach. We have no reservations of making him a head coach.
"First and foremost," Zander added, "the committee felt that Jerry was the best coach throughout the interview process. The fact he's a known quantity (in Snohomish County) was a bonus."
Jensen has already announced several members of his coaching staff, and many having Snohomish County ties. They include former Cascade teammates Roger Brodniak and Terry Hollimon, former Mariner High School and UW player Shane Fortney, former UW player David Richie, and Joe Ennis, son of Terry Ennis.
Jensen, who will also have a part-time role in the school's athletic department, expects to add 4-5 more coaches to his staff "with some really good people that I'm talking to now."
On Tuesday, Jensen met with his players at the school and he is already making preparations for a winter conditioning program.
"I expect to have fun," he said. "And the only way I know to have fun is to win football games. … I expect a lot of myself and I'll expect a lot of the kids in turn. There's an atmosphere around (the school) that breeds excellence, and that's just what's expected here."
Like the Ennis-coached teams he remembers, "we're going to stress fundamentals and get back to fundamentally sound football," Jensen said. "But the bigger picture of what we're trying to do is to take a kid and turn him into a young man who is going to be a productive member of society."
At a school that pushes students to excel, both in academics and in extracurricular areas, "athletics are just another opportunity to teach those kids how to be successful in life," he said.

Tips and hints for editing and writing planetary science Wikipedia articles
Since 2001, when Wikipedia came on the scene, it has grown to be one of the most referenced websites on the Internet. Millions are guided to Wikipedia when searching the web for a variety of information, including information about lunar and planetary science.
The Lunar and Planetary Institute encourages scientists and postdoctoral researchers to share their expertise and enthusiasm for planetary science by becoming writers and contributing editors on Wikipedia. There are many ways to get involved — identifying and correcting errors, omissions, and inadequate citations, as well as creating new, original pages. And because Wikipedia is available in many different languages, there is also a need for translation of existing pages.
It's easy to get started. Go to Wikipedia and create a free account by choosing a username and password. Once you've registered, you can edit existing pages and write new pages in Wikipedia.
Editing Wikipedia pages is easy and is a great way to get started in Wikipedia. Once you've logged on with your username and password, go to the page you'd like to edit by doing a search, then click on the Edit tab at the top of the page. You'll get a new page with a text box with editable text of the current page. At this point you can use Wiki Markup language to edit the page. Once you've made changes to the page, click on Show preview at the bottom of the text box to see what the changes will look like once they go live. Once the page looks the way you want with your changes, you can click on Save page to make the page go live. At this point, the page is part of Wikipedia and available for others to read and edit. All changes made by all editors of that page can be viewed by clicking on the View history tab at the top of the page.
See if the page you want to create already exists by doing a search. If the page doesn't already exist, ask yourself the following: Is the subject worthwhile, notable, and verifiable? A subject must meet these standards before a page is created. Log on with your username and password, then click on Create an article now. You'll get a new page with an empty text box in which to start creating your page with Wiki Markup language. Write a short introduction and the main body of the page. Click on Show preview at the bottom of the text box to see what the new page will look like once it goes live. Proofread it carefully for spelling and grammatical errors. Once the page looks the way you want, you can click on Save page to make the page go live. Now others can see this new page and add to it or edit. All changes made by all editors of that page can be viewed by clicking on the View history tab at the top of the page.
Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, and anyone can create new pages or edit the pages that exist. There is, however, a "Wikipedia style" that is expected: Content must be authoritative, neutral, and verifiable. Pages that do not meet the standards will receive warnings by Wikipedia editors and may be taken down.
Because of its collaborative nature, writers and editors in Wikipedia should expect to have their work modified over time. It is important not to take changes to your work personally. This is not an individual effort — it's a group effort.
There is a lot of information available about editing and writing in Wikipedia, including in Wikipedia itself.
