Applies to: Exchange Server 2013
This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange Server 2013.
Use the New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup cmdlet to create a database availability group (DAG).
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Syntax.
New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Name <String> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DagConfiguration <DatabaseAvailabilityGroupConfigurationIdParameter>] [-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIpAddresses <IPAddress[]>] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-ThirdPartyReplication <Disabled | Enabled>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]] [-WitnessDirectory <NonRootLocalLongFullPath>] [-WitnessServer <FileShareWitnessServerName>]
This example creates a DAG named DAG1 that's configured to use a witness server of CAS1, and a local directory of C:\DAG1. DAG1 is also configured to use DHCP for the DAG's IP addresses.
New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Name DAG1 -WitnessServer CAS1 -WitnessDirectory C:\DAG1
This example creates the DAG named DAG2. The system automatically selects a Client Access server without the Mailbox server role in the same site as the DAG to use as the witness server. DAG2 is assigned a single static IP address because the MAPI network for DAG2 contains or will contain a single subnet (10.0.0.x).
New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Name DAG2 -DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIpAddresses 10.0.0.8
This example creates a DAG named DAG3. DAG3 is configured to use CAS1 for the witness server, and a witness directory on CAS1 of C:\DAG3. DAG3 is assigned multiple static IP addresses because the MAPI network for the DAG contains or will contain multiple subnets (10.0.0.x and 192.168.0.x).
New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Name DAG3 -WitnessServer CAS1 -WitnessDirectory C:\DAG3 -DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIpAddresses 10.0.0.8,192.168.0.8
This example creates the DAG named DAG4 configured to use DHCP. In addition, the witness server is automatically selected by the system and the default witness directory is created.
New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Name DAG4
This example creates the DAG named DAG5 without a cluster administrative access point (Windows Server 2012 R2 and later DAG members only). DAG5 is configured to use CAS1 for the witness server, and a witness directory on CAS1 of C:\DAG5.
New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Name DAG5 -WitnessServer CAS1 -WitnessDirectory C:\DAG5 -DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIpAddresses ([System.Net.IPAddress])::None
When creating a DAG, you need to specify a valid computer name for the DAG no longer than 15 characters that's unique within the Active Directory forest. In addition, each DAG is configured with a witness server and witness directory. The witness server and its directory are used only for quorum purposes where there's an even number of members in the DAG. You don't need to create the witness directory in advance. Exchange automatically creates and secures the directory for you on the witness server. The directory shouldn't be used for any purpose other than for the DAG witness server.
The requirements for the witness server are as follows:
The witness server can't be a member of the DAG.
The witness server must be in the same Active Directory forest as the DAG.
The witness server must be running the Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003 R2, or Windows Server 2003 operating system.
A single server can serve as a witness for multiple DAGs; however, each DAG requires its own witness directory.
We recommend that you use a Client Access server running on Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 in the Active Directory site containing the DAG. This allows the witness server and directory to remain under the control of an Exchange administrator.
The following combinations of options and behaviors are available:
You can specify only a name for the DAG. In this scenario, the task searches for a Client Access server in the local Active Directory site that doesn't have the Mailbox server role installed, and it automatically creates the default directory and share on that server and uses that Client Access server as the witness server.
You can specify a name for the DAG, the witness server that you want to use, and the directory you want created and shared on the witness server.
You can specify a name for the DAG and the witness server that you want to use. In this scenario, the task creates the default directory on the specified witness server.
You can specify a name for the DAG and specify the directory you want created and shared on the witness server. In this scenario, the task searches for a Client Access server in the local Active Directory site that doesn't have the Mailbox server role installed, and it automatically creates the specified directory on that server, shares the directory, and uses that Client Access server as the witness server.
Important: |
If the witness server you specify isn't an Exchange 2013 server, you must add the Exchange Trusted Subsystem universal security group (USG) to the local Administrators group on the witness server. If the witness server is a directory server, you must add the Exchange Trusted Subsystem USG to the Builtin\Administrators group. These security permissions are necessary to ensure that Exchange can create a directory and share on the witness server as needed. |
In addition to providing a name for the DAG, one or more IP addresses must also be assigned to the DAG, unless you are creating a DAG without a cluster administrative access point, which can be done only with DAG members running Windows Server 2012 R2. You can assign static IP addresses to the DAG by using the DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIpAddresses parameter. If you omit this parameter or configure the parameter with a value of 0.0.0.0, the task attempts to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain the necessary IP addresses. If you configure the parameter with a value of 255.255.255.255, the task attempts to create a DAG without a cluster administrative access point.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Database availability groups" entry in the High availability and site resilience permissions topic.
Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
Name | Required | System.String | The Name parameter specifies a unique name for the new DAG of up to 15 characters. The name you use must not conflict with any computer name in the organization. |
Confirm | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch. |
DagConfiguration | Optional | Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.DatabaseAvailabilityGroupConfigurationIdParameter | This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use. |
DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIpAddresses | Optional | System.Net.IPAddress[] | The DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIpAddresses parameter specifies one or more static IPv4 addresses to the DAG when a Mailbox server is added to a DAG. If you omit the DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIpAddresses parameter when creating a DAG, the system attempts to lease one or more IPv4 addresses from a DHCP server in your organization to assign to the DAG. Setting the DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIpAddresses parameter to a value of |
DomainController | Optional | Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn | The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory. |
ThirdPartyReplication | Optional | Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.ThirdPartyReplicationMode | The ThirdPartyReplication parameter specifies to configure and enable a DAG to use third-party replication that leverages the Exchange Third Party Replication API instead of the built-in continuous replication. After this mode is enabled, it can't be changed. |
WhatIf | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch. |
WitnessDirectory | Optional | Microsoft.Exchange.Data.NonRootLocalLongFullPath | The WitnessDirectory parameter specifies the name of the directory on the witness server used to store file share witness data. The directory and share should be hosted on an Exchange server other than any of the Mailbox servers in the DAG. This allows an Exchange administrator to maintain operational control over the directory. The specified directory must not be in use by any other DAGs or used for any purpose other than for the witness server. If you omit this option, the default witness directory is used. |
WitnessServer | Optional | Microsoft.Exchange.Data.FileShareWitnessServerName | The WitnessServer parameter specifies the name of a server used as a quorum witness when the DAG contains an even number of members. The selected server must not be a member of the DAG that's configured to use it. If you omit the WitnessServer parameter, the task tries to automatically select a Client Access server without the Mailbox server role in the same Active Directory site as the DAG to use as the witness server. |

Shewan recommendations adopted
The Government announced:
The Government is acting on all recommendations from the Shewan Inquiry into foreign trust disclosure rules, Finance Minister Bill English and Revenue Minister Michael Woodhouse announced today.
The Inquiry made a number of recommendations which propose improvements to registration and disclosure of information, anti-money laundering rules and increased information sharing between government agencies.
"The Government has always been open to making improvements to New Zealand's already strong tax settings if that was warranted," Mr English says.
"The Shewan Inquiry's recommendations are sensible and well-reasoned and by acting on all of them, we will ensure that our foreign trust disclosure rules are strengthened and New Zealand's reputation is protected.
"The changes to the foreign trust rules are a matter that the Government intends to move quickly on.
"The Government intends to introduce legislation to require a register that is searchable by Internal Affairs and the Police, and annual disclosure requirements in the coming months."
So the Government is implementing Shewan's recommendations while Andrew Little has still not apologised to him for slandering him.

This year I am happy to be paired with Misty, from Hawaii Book Blog. Hawaii Book Blog is somewhat different from a "traditional" book reviewing site - they feature books, articles, and literary events specific to Hawaii. You can read their Mission Statement, but here is the short version:
"The main purpose of this blog is to provide people with a comprehensive platform to learn and discuss books about Hawaiʻi and the Pacific, books by local authors, or books published by local companies."
Cool, right? I wonder if anyone has a blog like this for the Midwest - it's a great idea.
Anyway, meet Misty - she's a cool girl, and also the older sibling in a set of boy/girl fraternal twins. This is especially interesting to ME, because that's what I have at home, and I feel like I should also be interviewing her mom to get tips on how to keep two babies alive into adulthood! =)
(Edit - I've since learned that I misunderstood - she is the older sister TO a set of boy/girl fraternal twins. I suppose that would be slightly different....*grin*)
On to the interview ---
I really enjoy the sense of community in book blogging--meeting new people and discovering new authors. It's exciting to find a new book or series to obsess about or lose sleep over. The best way to do that is to follow and support book bloggers! I'll spend hours going from blog to blog, reading reviews and comments - and of course my "to-read" list gets longer and longer!
Hawaii Book Blog is in a unique sort of niche. We're more regional than other book blogs and because of that it's hard for us to participate in some of the fantastic book blog events and memes that are out there. Mostly, I wish I had more time to read and post. Creating new and exciting content is sometimes daunting and I'd love it if we would be able to get more comments, but overall being a book blogger is a blast!
Thanks for hanging out with Misty and I today - be sure to visit Hawaii Book Blog to see my end of the interview. And then visit the BBAW main page to read LOTS more fun interviews!

FAQs About Benefits—Retirement Issues
What about personal saving for retirement?
While it is hard to determine how much people are saving for retirement, an indicator is money saved in tax-sheltered retirement accounts, such as individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Keogh plans (for the self-employed). In 2001, nearly 3.5 million taxpayers made contributions totaling more than $7.4 billion to IRAs. Currently, IRAs are the largest single repository of tax-deferred retirement assets, generated primarily from funds "rolled over" from other tax-advantaged accounts such as a 401(k) plan from a former employer. Relatively little money in IRAs comes from new contributions.
Both the number of people contributing and the amounts contributed to IRAs has been declining since 1990, perhaps partially because of the creation of Roth IRAs, which are not reported on tax returns. In 2001, nearly 1.3 million taxpayers made contributions to Keogh plans for the self-employed. The Keogh number has grown consistently since 1990 and recently eclipsed IRA contributions for the first time. About one adult American in five has either an IRA or Keogh account.
In 2002, IRAs held more than $2.3 trillion, after peaking at more than $2.65 trillion in 1999. The subsequent decline largely reflects falling stock prices. In 1999, 46% of IRA assets were in mutual funds and more than 35% were in self-directed brokerage accounts.
While there is widespread concern that today's workers aren't saving enough to finance a comfortable retirement, it is difficult to distinguish between total savings and those exclusively directed at future retirement.

I would give this bag a higher rating if it did not come with such a strong chemical odor. I called my service representative and she said she would alert the manufacturing side of the business of my concern. Our customers love the design and durability but complain vehemently about the odor that takes awhile to fade. We have now taken to opening the boxes of bags and airing them out for several days to a week prior to distribution. This is obviously a huge inconvenience.

Great bag for our agents. We use these to fill our corporate swag and send out to our agents to promote/sell our products as a thank you. They love them as they are filled with lots of goodies and they tell us they use the bags for themselves, as gym bags and give them to their kids to use as well. It's great for an inexpensive bag.

This product is wonderful. it looks nice, the logo look great and it is durable. On first use I spilled a whole travel mug of coffee inside the tote and was unable to wash it out right away. Later that evening I rinsed the tote with a mild soapy water and let it air dry and to my surprise it was as good as new. It didn't fade, wrinkle or become stiff.

These bags were ordered for a group of educational program participants. The bags are very light, and looks good with our logo. The bags could have been a bit bigger in size and mesh side pocket could have been bigger as well. We ordered a standard size 16oz. mug and it didn't fit in the pocket. But overall quality was good.

NZRU chairman Jock Hobbs said: "It is significant to lose one of the few living links with our rugby heritage from that era.
"Like all other All Blacks, Joey Sadler had his own unique story about his rugby career, which was cut short by injury, and his life beyond rugby. However, his loss will be most keenly felt by his family and friends and I would like to extend my sympathies to them."
Sadler was, at the time of his passing, the second oldest surviving All Black.
The eldest, Eric Tindill, is also the eldest New Zealand Test cricketer, having also played for the Black Caps before World War II.

Brian Gerwig Joins @GW_Volleyball as Assistant Coach
Former Western Kentucky Assistant Joins Staff
April 10, 2013
WASHINGTON - George Washington volleyball head coach Amanda Ault announced today that Brian Gerwig has been added to the coaching staff as an assistant coach.
Gerwig spent last season as a volunteer assistant coach at Western Kentucky, helping the Lady Toppers to their most successful season in the history of the program. Western Kentucky finished with a 33-4 overall record and made the NCAA Tournament for the third straight season, advancing to the second round for the first time in program history.
"We are happy to welcome Brian to GW," said Head Coach Amanda Ault. "He is a very good fit for our program and meshes well with our players and our staff. He comes from a well-respected program at Western Kentucky and will be an asset as we continue to move this program forward in the Atlantic 10."
While at Western Kentucky, Gerwig worked in all aspects of the game with an emphasis on training the defense and blockers. Gerwig coached under 2012 AVCA National Coach of the Year finalist Travis Hudson and helped coach two All-Americans and the two-time Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year, Ashley Potts.
Gerwig also served as the team's video coordinator, responsible for video breakdown and strategy for both Western Kentucky and its opponents.
Prior to his stint at Western Kentucky, Gerwig was the varsity volleyball head coach at Trinity High School in Louisville, Ky., guiding the Rocks to a 17-4 overall record in 2012 and their first state championship since the 2005 season.

was not the right cover yet with patience and friend we got cover to fit! and it does look good!
Moose OEM Replacement Seat Cover
Write your review and you'll automatically be entered in our monthly drawing. Include an image or video to DOUBLE your chances to win!
Write Your ReviewBought this for a 1999 Polaris magnum 500. The cover fit very well. I just took my time, and used a heat gun to warm it up as I stretched it.
This was tricky to install in cold weather, and it didn't fit the seat of my 2004 Honda TRX400 perfectly. There was excess material in quite a few areas, and not all of the wrinkles could be smoothed out.
Overall, this cover is good material, fairly easy to install, and just takes some heat and patience to get smooth.
I bought this OEM seat cover with OEM foam for my 2000 Honda Foreman. I was able to do a professional looking job. Warming seat cover is recommended before stretching.
fits good looks good I hope it will hold up. Seems alittle thinner than the original stock cover on my 2003 wolverine. Overall looks way better than the torn old cover. Motosport is very good to do business with will likely buy from them again.
Nice product. Came in timely manner and fit my seat foam well. looks good.
Bought this for my husband. He laid it out on hood of his truck to warm in the sun for a few minutes and then put it on seat. He used a staple gun with 1/4 " staples and it fits like a glove. Great product, wish you had one for our tractor seat!!
I recovered the seat on my fourwheeler and this was so easy to put on. Fit perfectly and looks great again.

Offense is one and done
OAKLAND Now, if only Garrett Richards could hit …
Desperate for help in their beleaguered starting rotation, the Angels turned to Richards for his first start in nearly three months and he delivered five scoreless innings. Unfortunately for the Angels, their offense was quiet in a 3-1 loss to the Oakland A's on Saturday.
The offensive issue might only get worse if Albert Pujols heads to the disabled list, which looks likely after he was sent to Southern California on Saturday morning to have his sore left foot evaluated.
The Angels could muster only a Josh Hamilton solo homer in seven innings against A's left-hander Tommy Milone. The 1-0 lead left the bullpen no margin for error, and that was gone in the seventh, when pinch-hitter Derek Norris hit a two-run homer on Scott Downs' first pitch of the game.
Although Downs was the losing pitcher, the blame for this one rests on the Angels' languishing offense.
The Angels have averaged 2.7 runs over the past 12 games, hitting .248, including .161 with runners in scoring position. This didn't figure to be a day they'd snap out of it, with Pujols' absence and the fact the Angels had only hit .241 against lefties.
"We haven't been swinging the bats well, whether it's a lefty or righty, the past two weeks," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "Milone pitched a good game. He seems like he always pitches tough against us."
After Hamilton's second-inning blast, the Angels wasted their few remaining opportunities, going hitless in four at-bats with runners in scoring position.
After winning the first game of this crucial four-game series, the Angels have lost the past two to fall 12 games out, equaling their season high.

We've heard from many people who have been distressed to learn that their identity is being sought by the US Copyright Group, which purportedly represents various independent filmmakers, for allegedly having downloaded a movie such as "Far Cry" over BitTorrent. These people may want to contact an attorney in their state or Washington D.C. to discuss their individual circumstances and to decide how to proceed. EFF cannot advise each of these defendants, but we have assembled a list of attorneys who are willing to help advise and possibly represent subpoena targets.
At a time when users regularly turn to search engines to find information on the Internet, search privacy is of paramount importance. The search terms you give to search engines can be used to compose a telling portrait of your interests and concerns, a fact that has led privacy advocates to call for greater protection for individual users.
That's why it's great news that European privacy officials from the Article 29 Data Protection Working Party" (WP29), which is an influential advisory body to the European Commission, have recently taken decisive action to push for stronger search engine privacy.
Update June 7, 2010 Yahoo! has changed it's Profiles feature into Yahoo! Pulse. Since the layout and URLs are a bit different, we have updated our opt out instructions below.
Earlier this week, Yahoo! announced a plan to try to leverage its Yahoo! Mail users' contacts into a social network of friends who will receive your Yahoo! Updates. Once the most visited website in the world, Yahoo! now ranks fourth worldwide, reaching about a quarter of all Internet users each day. Like Google Buzz's ill-fated launch using Gmail contacts, Yahoo! wants to jump start its social networking plans with the hundreds of millions of people who already use its email and messenger services.
As soon as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the company's latest privacy changes last Wednesday, EFF published its immediate reaction and posted a simple video tutorial. EFF also opined about the changes at AOL News, in the New York Times, on the radio with NPR's All Things Considered, and on television with PBS' Newshour.
Plenty of folks, from copyright lawyers to Internet entrepreneurs to investment bankers, have been watching the long-running legal battle between Viacom and Google/YouTube carefully, well aware that a decision in the case could have a profound effect on the future of the Internet. But most YouTube users probably haven't given it the same attention. They should, and in an amicus brief filed in support of YouTube last week, a group of YouTube video creators explains why.
Calling themselves "The Sideshow Coalition" (because Viacom has called their interests a "sideshow"), these creators tell their own personal stories of how YouTube has helped them find a broader audience than they had ever imagined they could reach, with all kinds of unexpected effects. A few examples from the brief:
I've just finished Adrian Johns' 2009 book, Piracy: The Intellectual Property Wars from Gutenberg to Gates, a 500+ page magnum opus stretching from the 1600s to the present. Johns is a noted University of Chicago historian, and his book is a fascinating and essential read for anyone interested in the history of the term "intellectual property" and development of the modern copyright and patent systems.
A warning to readers: you may not want to start at the beginning, unless you're really interested in the organization of pre-industrial printing in England in the 1700s. Because the book is organized chronologically, the first several chapters are, well, a bit less accessible.
The file-sharing public faces yet another wave of predatory litigation, this time from the so-called US Copyright Group ("USCG"), which is suing BitTorrent users on behalf of various independent filmmakers. The Hollywood Reporter reports that more than 20,000 individuals have been sued, with more suits to come, and the producers of the Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker have also signed up with the USCG to go after BitTorrent users.
Today, Facebook announced new privacy controls and settings in response to the tremendous public outcry over its April changes. Here we explain step-by-step how to take advantage of the new settings and maximize your privacy on Facebook.
This is important because you must take affirmative steps to adjust your settings in order to take full advantage of the revised privacy practices. While some information, such as your name, profile picture and gender, will remain publicly available, these steps are designed to provide as much privacy as Facebook's new system allows. Please enjoy our video, which goes through each of the steps detailed below.

Globe-Trotting Grad Enlists World's Help to Solve Rubik's Cube
Subscribe to News Radio 1310 KLIX on
It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a whole planet to solve a Rubik's Cube.
A recent college grad took a trip around the world after graduating, like a lot of people yearn to do. His trip was different, though, because he got one person to move a Rubik's Cube one spot in order to help him solve it.
That's a whole lot better than being approached by a tourist asking for directions back to the hotel, don'cha think?
The grand total? Fifty-four men, 30 woman, one monkey and one snake in 11 countries helped him figure it out. See what can happen when we all work together?

coolcatteacher | http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2006-03-14-ipod-university_x.htm?POE=TECISVA - There are tons of results for the Duke study. |
Jeanne S | I gave a test today, and I was amazed at the number of students who were talking to themselves! |
cheryloakes wow2 | vinnie are you trying t o click on a link/ that will bump youu |
Jeanne S | Vicki...are you putting those links in the wiki? |
Durff | I want a mike like Vickie used - an iRiver |
coolcatteacher | I am going to go over there. |
Jeanne S | Thanks! |
Durff | for podcasting lectures |
cheryloakes wow2 | If you have questions for Kathy the Kindergarten techer podcaster write them in the chat please |
coolcatteacher | I LOVE my IRiver but I can't buy another one right now b/c Circuit city has sold out.l |
vvrotny | no, this time I was changing to my vpn network to send an email |
Durff | does anyone else sell them? |
vvrotny | I have been clicking on links alright with no problem |
cheryloakes wow2 | oh, I can never do that. |
vvrotny | For the iRiver, what model. I bought two refurbished for around $20 on ebay. 1gb t30's |
sroseman | btw before I forget ... I can't get the iphone out of my mind ...check this video out later ....http://www.applegazette.com/mac/cbs-w-the-best-look-at-the-iphone-yet-video/ |
cheryloakes wow2 | the iphone has stuck with me too susan. I can't decide upon my next techno gadget. |
sharonp | iPhone ---- drooooooollll |
Durff | the iRiver model is on Vickie's website |
coolcatteacher | I want the iphone - it is why I didn''t get the iPod this Christmas! |
Durff | who can afford iPhone? |
sroseman | take a look at that video later, Cheryl..more than a gadget |
alicebarr | OOOOOOOooo iPhone! |
JenniferW | I am NOT going to iPhone -- unless they lower the cost and also go with verizon |
cheryloakes wow2 | I watched the steve jobs presentation 2 times. |
cheryloakes wow2 | plus iphone could be bigger HD |
Durff | Kimdergarteners on blogs? |
cheryloakes wow2 | Kindergarteners blogging on David Warlick blogmeister. |
Durff | do they have the keyboarding skills enough? |
JenniferW | they have key recognition |
cheryloakes wow2 | Kathy Cassidy, Leah Tondreau, Maria Knee, all blog with K's. |
Durff | really? |
Durff | hmmmm.............. |
coolcatteacher | Some people have asked about parent permission! We need to talk about that also. |
Durff | I walk around itr |
cheryloakes wow2 | yes, Maria in NH, Leah in ME, and Kathy in Manitoba |
JenniferW | Yes, that is one of my questions |
tech4teaching | Question for Kathy: So students write and then type in blog response. They don't compose on the computer? And how many computers do you have in your classroom. |
Durff | I invite all the parents to the blogs and wikis |
Jeanne S | Chris...I have another idea for our project. |
cheryloakes wow2 | good job reading the chat Kathy for questions! |
sroseman | Vicki .. I used to tape all my lectures in the old days..and my marks improved ... so I could see the success of the ipod in University |
Durff | some do, even our principal did |
JenniferW | Kathy's school has a well written AUP |
Durff | AUP? |
JenniferW | parents sign an agreement for child's photos -- yes or no |
sharonp | yes, Kathy we do the same - not put single photos with students' names |
cheryloakes wow2 | Good idea group photos, no closeups |
coolcatteacher | Actually, I've seen some of my more difficult students suddenly become "angels." |
JenniferW | Acceptable User Policy |
vvrotny | this is a great conversation. thanks for you who are putting this together and letting this WOW supporting participate |
JenniferW | also -- she can place audio |
sharonp | our AUP has a global permission built in |
coolcatteacher | It became very apparent when one day my battery was not working and a student said "Oh, I can be myself today, you're not recording." |
cheryloakes wow2 | thanks vinnie, you are our support. |
Durff | can you post that form? |
sharonp | That's funny Vicki! |
coolcatteacher | We would love to have a copy of the media release form. |
alicebarr | My superintendent was wowed by podcasts after seeing an Apple presentation. He thinks teachers should use them more! I am thrilled! |
coolcatteacher | I laughed too! And then got rechargeable batteries! |
coolcatteacher | I hang it around my neck all of the time and leave them wondering! |
cheryloakes wow2 | Maine Supt. some of them received ipods from Apple as part of the laptop rollout |
Durff | I want a copy of that media release form |
alicebarr | And a great presentation to go with iPod! |
coolcatteacher | The other students said that some of the "slackers" participate more and that is true -- they said "Wow, Mrs Vicki that recording really has got so and so participating." |
sharonp | Kathy - have you thought about documenting your experiences with K and podcasting?? |
coolcatteacher | Maybe the new will wear off but hopefully not! |
cheryloakes wow2 | Alice, we have a school rule not ipods, no CD players, no headphones. I am going to try and make that change |
Durff | me too, I'm told to take it |
coolcatteacher | If they have a cell phone hidden in their pocketbook, they can still record. Unless we are going to xray them for ipods / cell phones AND other items. |
alicebarr | It's all technology so we are trying to approach from that perspective. |
Durff | so I tell Seniors - don't put it where I can see it |
coolcatteacher | Its a conduit! |
coolcatteacher | Even if you can't see it it can still record. |
Durff | during Writing, it can be motivating |
alicebarr | That is why we're trying not to take away, just use certain times |
coolcatteacher | The kids today have technology that James Bond of 20 years a go would be jealous of! |
Durff | they are writing more now, listening to music |
coolcatteacher | Music is a vital motivator -- I love using music. |
cheryloakes wow2 | I agree. |
coolcatteacher | I like to listen to group music,though so I know what it is. |
coolcatteacher | It is like - "I can relax now and learn something." |
Durff | exactly |
Durff | I just have to work around the school board |
alicebarr | Learn 2 cool tools at once |
sroseman | kill two birds with one stone |
Durff | they still have us wearing skirts |
vvrotny | I am running to get my battery charger, in case I drop off |
cheryloakes wow2 | oh vinnie, don't drop off! |
coolcatteacher | I need to drop off -- about 10 pounds. |
Durff | I've found a Daily Scribe seems useful |
cheryloakes wow2 | Hi Cheri |
coolcatteacher | Socon - http://pjnet.org/weblogs/pjnettoday/archives/001411.html |
Durff | we could start that idea as a podcast.... |
coolcatteacher | Our AP teacher has started using a blog with scribes to document her ap curriculum. |
coolcatteacher | It is a GREAT use of a blog and is searchable. |
Durff | I transfer them to a "Daily Scr ibe" section....I made the Daily Scribe a student |
vquared | didn't quite make it. I don't have to lose any weight. Rather, I just need to grow about 5-6 inches to reach my goal height. |
cheri t | hi everyone |
coolcatteacher | Podcamp atlanta - http://podcampatlanta.com/ |
cheryloakes wow2 | Durff this sounds great, I love the scribe concept. |
Durff | look at our blog..blogmeister...MD...Ms.Durff |
Durff | Mrs.Durff is the English crowd |
cheryloakes wow2 | sure will so you are a blogmeister too |
vquared | Hear hear, sounds like a great AUP |
coolcatteacher | Remember the links for this show are at http://podcampatlanta.com/ |
coolcatteacher | Woops! |
coolcatteacher | http://womenofwebchats.wikispaces.com/20070116 |
Durff | but Ms. Durff is the gung-ho 7th grade |
coolcatteacher | Mrs. Durff is amazing! |
vquared | Durff, do you mind if I point teacher to this at a conference preso that I am doing on Jan 27? |
cheryloakes wow2 | okay, got it. |
coolcatteacher | Hey vinnie -- I love it! |
Durff | go ahead |
Durff | point away |
vquared | ty |
coolcatteacher | v - quared? or squared! |
vquared | hey, icnat type. Didnt hav e you as a techer |
Jeanne S | ha! |
coolcatteacher | Having kids hunt and peck makes me nervous. |
Durff | is Promethean board like a Smartboard? |
JenniferW | she is working with 5/6 year olds |
coolcatteacher | Yes, but a certain percentage of kids cannot be retaught after they learn the wrong way -- more boys than girls. I've seen numbers as high as 20% |
cheryloakes wow2 | but for little K, 1, 2, it works. I've done that with this age group, they are dectives and look for keys and make abc order. |
Durff | these kids are growing up with keyboards...... |
JenniferW | would be an interesting survey and research |
coolcatteacher | I'm sure it does, but it will be interesting to see when they are taught keyboarding IF they are taught keyboarding if they can be taught to type quickly. |
JenniferW | which is more damaging -- |
coolcatteacher | Remember our podshow -- two finger typing is no faster than handwriting! |
JenniferW | stretching little fingers to reach where they can't |
JenniferW | or reteaching keyboarding :::) Hmmmm |
coolcatteacher | I know that they can't be taught to do it, I just think podcasting is better for that age for that reason. |
coolcatteacher | Wow! |
Durff | so why not skip the keyboard and use voice recognition software for composing? |
coolcatteacher | We had a voice recognition expert a whle back and it cannot be used with young and/or developing voices. |
coolcatteacher | no time in the near future. |
Durff | I wonder why not |
coolcatteacher | It is an older show and we interviewed Patsy Lanclos -- we also had a researcher from Dragon Naturally speaking as well. Look in the archives - womenofweb2.podomatic.com |
coolcatteacher | It is near the end of the show! |
JenniferW | Best Buy Grant -- http://communications.bestbuy.com/communityrelations/teach.asp |
Durff | and how long until it can? |
cheryloakes wow2 | post show! |
coolcatteacher | Indefinitley -- computers like stable things - voices such as c`hildrens are unstable and therefore very difficult to handle and work well. |
Deb Barrows | Great show tonight. Thanks. |
coolcatteacher | The speed comes down lower than 2 finger typing or handwriting so why bother. |
coolcatteacher | We have the research in that show, you might want to listen to it, It was a great show! |
Durff | is the wiki on the toolbar of yours? |
JenniferW | lets put keyboarding aside for a while -- if we might |
cheryloakes wow2 | thanks deb and all in the chat room |
JenniferW | we shall all do research and come back to it later |
Durff | wiki? |
Durff | where? |
JenniferW | Lisa -- chat with me later about the toolbar -- I hear you have some issues??? WOW2 Toolbar |
Durff | my life is an issue |
coolcatteacher | Mrs. Durff - here is the show - http://womenofweb2.podomatic.com/entry/2006-11-27T02_23_02-08_00 |

I'd imagine a cold beer after a hot run would make any ice bath a little less unpleasant. Great job on your fastest half in awhile.

Sucks that the sun was in your eyes. I hate that too. Everything is always so glary! But oh how I wish it was 60 degrees in NYC. You'll get your cold weather when you do the NYC 1/2. Congrats on a great finish! :)

So crazy that you ran this spur of the moment! I totally agree with you on the heat. I'm from the Sacramento Valley. I moved to Seattle to get away from the heat. I am one of the...oh maybe...10 people in the Puget Sound area with air conditioning. So, good job!

I hate the heat too; 72 degrees is my limit, because then I start really over-heating on a long run. I'll bet the ice bath felt GREAST though! I've never done that after a race but I'm sure it's coming!

Congrats on your race penny!! I'm so glad you were able to use the entry and had fun :) I'm not sorry about the temp though... I will trade you the 'teens! ;) I complain about working 50-55 hrs... Not sure how you manage 70!

OMG, when you mentioned all the people in long sleeve shirts, hats, gloves, etc., I just started cracking up. Send those people up here to the NE - I'd have to crack up seeing all of that!
Penny, I'm feeling good things about your race at the end of this month! Especially with how well you did with this one, even with the heat and asthma problems.
Just think of how fast you're going to move along in the cold in NYC! THAT kind of cold makes you move no matter how much you want to walk. You know if you do, you'll freeze to death! - January 15, 2010 at 7:03 PM
- Lisa said...
congratulations on your race! Nice job for a "training run." I think that sub-2:30 is definitely possible in Carlsbad, just take advantage of the downhills on the rolling hills.
I love that medal! That is pretty cool. I bet you got a great tech shirt too. The half in Irvine gave cotton t's and tiny medals. But there were trees! LOL.
Great job! - January 19, 2010 at 6:49 AM

(CNN) — Syria warned the United States on Friday that it is prepared to confront any aggression against the war-torn nation.
The challenge came as Western powers debated the use of military force against Syria's government in response to a chemical weapons attack in Damascus' suburbs last week.
On Wednesday, U.S. President Barack Obama said there's no doubt that Syria launched chemical weapons attacks against its own people. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime has blamed the August 21 attack on rebels.
Most recent:
— Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday that U.S. intelligence information found that 1,429 people were killed in last week's chemical weapons attack in Syria, including at least 426 children.
— A preliminary U.S. government assessment asserted "with high confidence that the Syrian government carried out the chemical weapons attack against opposition elements in the Damascus suburbs." Kerry said the question now is "what are we … in the world going to do about it."
— The United States says in an assessment released Friday that it has "intelligence that leads us to assess that Syrian chemical weapons personnel … were preparing chemical weapons munitions prior to" what Washington believes was a chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburbs on August 21.
— Kerry said Syrian officials made preparations for chemical weapons use for three days prior to the August 21 attack, and that rockets were launched from areas controlled by the Syrian regime and landed in areas controlled by the opposition or contested.
— A preliminary U.S. government assessment said 100 videos connected to a suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria "show large numbers of bodies exhibiting physical signs consistent with, but not unique to, nerve agent exposure."
— Some videos show what appear to be fatalities "with no visible injuries" — which is "consistent with death from chemical weapons, and inconsistent with death from small-arms, high-explosive munitions or blister agents," said the government assessment.
— Kerry said Friday that U.S. officials make "our own decisions on our own timelines, based on our own values and interests" in signaling a possible military response to last week's chemical weapons attack in Syria.
–The United States "will not repeat" justifying a military campaign on false intelligence, referring to the Iraq war under President George W. Bush, in detailing information about the chemical weapons attack in Syria, Kerry said.
— A U.S. military response to last week's chemical weapons attack in Syria "will not involve boots on the ground" or be open-ended, Kerry said Friday, adding that America will not assume responsibility for Syria's civil war.
— Citing support from the Arab League, Turkey and France, Kerry said Friday that "we are not alone in our will to do something about" last week's chemical weapons attack in Syria that he blamed on al-Assad's regime.
— Obama administration officials are holding a conference call about Syria with members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Senate Armed Services Committee, a Senate source told CNN.
Previously reported:
— Seven people were killed and dozens were hurt Monday when a bomb hit a school in northern Syria, a strike anti-government activists believe was conducted with chemical weaponry.
— The U.N. mission inspecting a suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria has completed its collection of samples, said Martin Nesirky, spokesman for the U.N. secretary-general said Friday. Nesirky told reporters that inspectors visited a government military hospital in Damascus and will be leaving Syria on Saturday.
— President Barack Obama met his National Security Council oFriday on the alleged chemical weapons use by the Syrian regime last week, a White House official said.
— U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon intends to consult with countries at the United Nations on developments in Syria and is scheduled to meet with permanent members of the U.N. Security Council at noon Friday, his spokesperson said.
— Former President George W. Bush, in an interview, said President Barack Obama has a "tough choice to make" on potential U.S. military action against Syria's president. "If he decides to use our military, he'll have the greatest military ever backing him up," Bush said in an appearance on Fox News.
— Former President Jimmy Carter said "a punitive military response without a U.N. Security Council mandate or broad support from NATO and the Arab League would be illegal under international law and unlikely to alter the course of the war."
— The Obama administration will release on Friday declassified intelligence backing up the U.S. government assessment that the Syrian regime was responsible for a chemical weapons attack outside Damascus last week, a senior administration official said. The administration has said that the information would be made public by the end of the week.
— Half of Americans say they oppose possible U.S. military action against Syria, according to a new national poll. And nearly eight in 10 of those questioned in an NBC News survey released Friday morning say President Barack Obama should be required to get congressional approval before launching any military attack against al-Assad's forces.
— The British parliament vote to reject military action in Syria reflects "the majority opinion in Europe as a whole, not just Britain," Russian President Vladimir Putin's senior foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, told reporters in Vladivostok Friday, according to the Kremlin's press office.
— British Prime Minister David Cameron said it is important for the United Kingdom to have a "robust response to the use of chemical weapons and there are a series of things that (Britain) will continue to do. But, he said, British involvement in a military action "won't be happening."
— French President Francois Hollande told newspaper Le Monde that a possible military intervention should be limited and not have the goal of overthrowing al-Assad.
— The Syrian army and its people will respond to any attack and are ready to confront any form of military aggression by superpowers against the country, Syria's defense minister, Fahd Jasem al-Freij, said during a telephone call with his Iranian counterpart, Hussein Dehghan, Syrian state news agency SANA, reported Friday.
— Iran's armed forces chief of staff, Maj. Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi, warned the United States and its allies against any attack on Syria, saying any new military operation in the region would inflict serious damage and would only benefit Israel, the Iranian state news agency IRNA, reported Friday.
