text: This course opens with an exploration of the social context and aims of literacy teaching and learning. It goes on to describe a range of historical and contemporary approaches to literacy pedagogy, including didactic, authentic, functional, and critical approaches. The course takes has a 'Multiliteracies' perspective, which aims to expand the definition of literacy to encompass today's multimodal communications, and the diversity of literacies across different social and culltural contexts. A Multiliteracies approach also suggests a broad range of activity types—experiential, conceptual, analytical and critical. -------------------------------- Recommended Background -------------------------------- This course is designed for people interested in literacy teaching and learning, including people who may wish to join education as a profession, practicing teachers interested in exploring future directions for a vocation that is currently undergoing transformation, and community and workplace leaders who regard their mission to be in part "educative." -------------------------------- Take this Course for Credit at the University of Illinois. -------------------------------- This course has the same content and anticipates the same level of contribution by students in the 'New Media and Literacies' course offered to graduate certificate, masters and doctoral level students in the College of Education at the University of Illinois. Of course, in the nature of MOOCs many people will just want to view the videos and casually join some of the discussions. Some people say that these limited kinds of participation offer evidence that MOOCs suffer from low retention rates. Far from it - we say that any level of engagement is good engagement. On the other hand, if you would like to take this course for credit at the University of Illinois, apply here: http://education.illinois.edu/online-offcampus/programs-degrees/ldl-online If you have already taken this course in Coursera, you can prepare a portfolio of work created there and request that this work is taken into account for your University of Illinois course.

THE 6th AND 7th PRECEPTS
I am stunned and amazed by the response to that last post. It proves once again that I have no idea when I'm being controversial and when I'm not. I've put posts up here previously that I was certain would set off riots with blood flowing freely through the streets and no one seemed even to have noticed. Then something like my thing about Big Mind™ — which I felt was a pretty minor rant, standard issue for me and a tad boring — doesn't just get over 140 responses here, but sets off a long, long thread at something called the Buddhist Community E-Sangha (don't ask me, I never heard of it before someone sent me the link). Maybe it's cold out in most of the country this time of year and people don't have much else to do but sit and type on their computers.
I looked at most of the comments. Some were pretty impressive. The one video link someone posted of Ken Wilber wired up to what looks like an Etch-a-Sketch with blinking Christmas tree lights Scotch-taped to it to prove he can go into the most macho deep Samadhi the world has ever known is classic, by the way. Honestly, I cannot even comprehend why anyone would fall for something like that.
The comments about the sixth and seventh precepts deserve a little discussion, though. These are the precepts telling us not to criticize others (or "other Buddhists" as it is sometimes given) or to be proud of ourselves and slander others. One of the great problems I see in Buddhism today is the way these precepts can be twisted to give just about anything deflector shields worthy of a Klingon Bird of Prey against all criticism by anyone involved in Buddhism merely by stating that what one is doing is a form of Buddhist practice. The very worst example of this was in 1995 after the "Buddhist Master" Shoko Asahara used poison gas on the Tokyo subways. My friend Taijun, a Japanese Buddhist nun, paid close attention to the TV, newspaper and magazine coverage of that event in Japan. Though a huge number of Buddhist monks and nuns were interviewed about Asahara, and though all of them condemned the attack, not one of the monks or nuns Taijun saw or read about said that what Asahara taught was not Buddhism. It's as if they couldn't bring themselves to cross that line.
Since the Sixties, words like Enlightenment, Awakening, Satori, Kensho and all the rest have entered into our language and popular culture. Lots of people think they want these experiences, but have no idea just what they really are. As long as the deep confusion about these words remains, it's easy for unscrupulous people to define anything they please as Enlightenment. In the Sixties and Seventies lots of folks in the West thought that the brain damage caused by the use of various psychoactive chemicals was Enlightenment. A few years ago a couple of pinhead burn-outs tried to revive that idea with a popular book and, amazingly, found a large number of supposed "Buddhists" who either supported or were unwilling to criticize their position. Now we have organizations trying to promote the idea that Enlightenment is something that can be had instantly through some special technique that — Surprise! Surprise! —they just happen to hold the patent on.
One of the posters at Suicide Girls pointed out that the purported Buddhist Master I'd criticized there recently was the head of a large and highly respected Buddhist organization. I had actually deliberately left that detail out because, to me, that makes it all the more troubling. So long as no one from that group points out that what this man is selling is clearly unrelated in any way to Buddhism, the rest of us have to assume the organization as a whole supports and agrees with it. And that is a sad state of affairs.
It is very important for those who practice and teach Buddhism to be willing to speak out when some popular trend claiming to be Buddhist is clearly not. That doesn't always mean shouting from a soapbox. But maintaining noble silence may not be the only alternative. As Buddhism becomes more fashionable and establishes itself as a mainstream philosophy the tendency for all manner of charlatans to latch on to the air of sanctity available to anything that labels itself "Buddhist" will only increase. If we don't criticize these things because we fear we may violate the precepts we're doing a terrible disservice to people who want to know what real Buddhism actually is.

Thyroid hormone supplements are primarily used to treat hypothyroidism , a condition caused by deficient secretion of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland. Forms of thyroid hormone include:
- Dextrothyroxine (Choloxin)
- Levothyroxine (Levoid, Levothroid, Levoxine, Levoxyl, Synthroid)
- Liothyronine (Cytomel, Triostat)
- Liotrix (Euthroid, Thyrolar)
- Thyroglobulin (Proloid)
- Thyroid (Armour Thyroid)
Two case reports suggest that calcium carbonate interferes with the body's absorption of thyroid hormone when both were taken at the same time. 1,2
A prospective cohort study has validated these case reports. 3 Twenty individuals with hypothyroidism stabilized on long-term levothyroxine therapy were included in the trial. Participants were given calcium carbonate (1,200 mg daily of elemental calcium) for 3 months. During the period the calcium supplement was taken, thyroid hormone blood levels declined. But after calcium supplementation was stopped, thyroid levels climbed back up, slightly surpassing the levels measured at the beginning of the study.
It is thought that calcium combines with thyroid hormone, thus reducing its absorption.
To prevent this interaction, take thyroid hormone and calcium supplements as far apart as possible.
Iron salts (including ferrous fumarate, ferrous gluconate, ferrous sulfate, and iron polysaccharide) may impair the effect of the thyroid hormone levothyroxine, probably by forming a complex with it and decreasing its absorption. 4
To prevent a problem, take iron supplements and thyroid hormones as far apart as possible.
Soy formula may interfere with the absorption of thyroid medication in infants. 5 In addition, soy may directly interfere with thyroid function. 6,7 The result may be a need to increase the infant's dosage of thyroid medication. However, if you stop giving an infant soy formula, the thyroid dosage may need to be decreased. Of course, all changes relating to thyroid treatment should be managed by a physician.
Based on these findings, individuals with impaired thyroid function should use soy (such as, soybeans, soy milk, tofu) with caution.
Individuals with an enlarged thyroid gland are sometimes given high doses of thyroid medication to shrink it. However, this treatment can cause unpleasant side effects, including bone loss, heart palpitations, and a feeling of malaise. A double-blind trial suggests that the supplement L-carnitine may safely reduce the adverse effects of this treatment. 8

Software products slated for the iOS market have to be frugal in their use of memory. iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad have limited physical memory, much less than their flash storage. Using Xcode can help design frugal code and subject source files to static analysis. You can also use its Instruments tool to track down memory problems at runtime. In this article, I discuss some common memory problems and how they can affect a typical iOS app. I show you how to detect these problems with the aforementioned tools and some ways of fixing them.
You will need a working knowledge of ANSI-C, Objective-C, and Xcode. The sample project needs version 3.x (or newer) of the Xcode development suite.
Types of Memory Problems
Most memory problems are one of four types. The first type is the dangling pointer. This is an object or data pointer that still refers to a deallocated memory block. The block may still have valid data, but the data can "disappear" at some point in time. Attempts to access a dangling pointer may lead to a segmentation fault (
EXC_BAD_ACCESS or
SIGSEGV). A dangling pointer should not be confused with a
NULL, which is defined as
((void *) 0).
Consider the snippet in Listing One. Here, class
FooProblem has a single property (
objcString) and a single action method. The action method,
demoDanglingPointer:, initializes
objcString to an empty
NSString (line 18). Then, in a separate code block, it creates an instance of
NSMutableString (line 20). It sends the instance a release message (line 22), but also assigns that same instance to
objcString (line 25). Once the code block exits, deallocation occurs and
objcString is left holding a dangling pointer.
Listing One
// -- FooProblem.h @interface FooProblem : NSObject { // -- properties:demo NSString *objcString; } // -- methods:demo:actions - (IBAction) demoDanglingPointer:(id)aSrc; @end // -- FooProblem.m @implementation FooProblem - (IBAction) demoDanglingPointer:(id)aSrc { NSString *tBar; objcString = [NSString string]; { tBar = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:@"foobar"]; //... do something else [tBar release]; } //..do something else objcString = tBar; } @end
Now consider now the snippet in Listing Two. This variant of
FooProblem declares a C
struct named
FooLink (lines 1-6). In its
demoDanglingPointer: action, it declares the local variable
tTest and assigns the latter the output from method
danglingPosix() (line 26). The
danglingPosix() method creates a local instance of
FooLink (tBar) inside a code block (lines 38-41). It assigns values to the
struct fields and sets the local
tFoo to
tBar (line 42). But just before the code block exits,
danglingPosix() disposes of
tBar with a call to
free() (line 44) and returns the pointer held by
tFoo (line 48). The result local
tTest now has a dangling pointer.
Listing Two
typedef struct Foo { char *fFoo; unsigned int fBar; struct Foo *fNext; } FooLink; // -- FooProblem.h @interface FooProblem : NSObject { // -- properties //... } // -- methods:demo:actions - (IBAction) demoDanglingPointer:(id)aSrc; - (FooLink *)danglingPOSIX; @end // -- FooProblem.m @implementation FooProblem - (IBAction) demoDanglingPointer:(id)aSrc { FooLink *tTest; tTest = [self danglingPOSIX]; // ...do something else } - (FooLink *)danglingPOSIX { FooLink *tFoo; // initialise the output result tFoo = nil; { FooLink *tBar; tBar = malloc(sizeof(FooLink)); tBar->fFoo = "foobar"; tBar->fBar = 1234; tFoo = tBar; //... do something else free(tBar); } // return the string result return (tFoo); } @end
The next type of memory problem is the double free. This occurs when a code routine tries to dispose of an object or structure that has already been disposed of. Disposal need not happen in succession, so long as it affects the same pointer. A double free also leads to a segmentation fault, followed by a crash.
Listing Three is a classic example of a double free. The action method
demoDoubleFree: creates an instance of
FooLink and populates its fields (lines 3-5). It sends the instance to the method
doubleFreePOSIX:, which updates the two fields (lines 14-15). But then
doubleFreePOSIX: disposes of the
FooLink instance with a call to
free() (line 18). When it returns control to
demoDoubleFree: also disposes of the same
FooLink structure using
free() (line 8).
Listing Three
- (IBAction) demoDoubleFree:(id)aSrc { tFoo = malloc(sizeof(FooLink)); tFoo->fFoo = "Foobar"; tFoo->fBar = 12345; [self doubleFreePOSIX:tFoo]; free(tFoo); } - (void)doubleFreePOSIX:(FooLink *)aFoo { //...do something else aFoo->fFoo = "BarFoo"; aFoo->fBar = aFoo->fBar + 123; //... do something else free(aFoo); }
Listing Four shows another double free example. The action method
demoDoubleFree: creates and adds an
NSNumber instance to the mutable array property
objcArray (lines 23-24). Then it invokes the method
doubleFreeObjC. This method parses the array property and uses its entries to create an
NSString object (line 39-40). Later, it sends a release message to each entry (line 44). If the entry is the
NSNumber object, a double free error occurs. This is because the
NSNumber object was marked for autorelease. An explicit release interferes with the autorelease pool's attempt to dispose of the object.
Listing Four
// -- FooProblem.h @interface FooProblem : NSObject { // -- properties NSMutableArray *objcArray; } // -- methods:demo:actions - (IBAction) demoDoubleFree:(id)aSrc; // -- methods:demo:utilities - (void)doubleFreeObjC; @end // -- FooProblem.m @implementation FooProblem // ...truncated for length - (IBAction) demoDoubleFree:(id)aSrc { NSNumber *tNum; tNum = [NSNumber numberWithLong:rand()]; [objcArray addObject:tNum]; //...do something else [self doubleFreeObjC]; } - (void)doubleFreeObjC { NSString *tText; id tObj; tText = [NSString string]; for (tObj in objcArray) { tText = [tText stringByAppendingFormat:@"/@", tObj]; //...do something else [tObj release]; } } @end
A memory leak is another typical memory problem. It occurs where a routine fails to dispose of its objects or structures. The failure may be due to an error or exception, or it may be due to poor code design. A continuous memory leak can lead to a low-memory condition. At best, it could cause iOS to terminate the offending app. At worst, it could force users to perform a hard reset.
Listing Five is one example of a memory leak. This variant of
FooProblem creates an empty
NSMutableArray instance and assigns it to the property
objcArray (lines 17-18). Its
dealloc method, however, does not send a release message to
objcArray. The result is, of course, a memory leak, even if the array object remains empty.
Listing Five
// -- FooProblem.h @interface FooProblem : NSObject { // -- properties NSMutableArray *objcArray; } @end // -- FooProblem.m @implementation FooProblem - (id)init { if (self = [super init]) { // prepare the following properties objcArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:1]; return (self); } else // the parent has failed to initialise return (nil); } //...other methods go here - (void)dealloc { //...do something else // pass the message to the parent [super dealloc]; } @end

UPDATE – Canada is taking a proactive role in dissuading Hungarian and Roma asylum-seekers from choosing it as a place of refuge.
A month-long $13,000 billboard, bus-shelter and radio ad campaign by the Canadian embassy in Budapest targeting the industrial city of Miskolc – home to the largest Roma population in Hungary – is advising would-be applicants to Canada that the immigration system here has changed and they best be aware of the fact.
The announcements, which began on Jan. 16, read as follows:
"An announcement from the Government of Canada. To deter abuse, Canada's refugee system has changed. People with unfounded claims will be sent home faster. Learn more: www.cic.gc.ca/change."
(Translated from Hungarian. See above photo.)
Jason Kenney, Canada's minister of citizenship, immigration and multiculturalism, has long proclaimed that Hungarian Roma have been abusing Canada's immigration system for years.
In 2008, after visa restrictions were lifted, a new wave of Hungarian Roma began seeking refuge in Canada.
In early 2012, Kenney characterized most of the Roma claims as "bogus" and pushed for immigration reform after a spike in Hungarian asylum seekers in 2011.
According to the ministry, Hungary was Canada's No. 1 source country for asylum claims in 2011, with more than 4,400 applicants.
Canada's immigration laws changed in 2012 with the passage of the Bill C-31, the Protecting Canada's Immigration System Act.
(The CJN reported on these changes and the Roma responses in December. You can read those stories here and here.)
Hungary was put on the government's designated country of origin list (DCO) late last year. Canada considers DCO-designated states to be democratic and as having institutions and laws to assist and provide protection for minorities.
Alexis Pavelich, press secretary for Kenney, said in an email that Canada continues to "take pride in the compassion" of its asylum system.
"We continue to resettle more genuine refugees than almost any other country in the world. In fact, our government is increasing the number of refugees Canada resettles by 20 per cent," Pavelich wrote. "But Canadians have no tolerance for those who abuse our system and seek to take unfair advantage of our country at great expense to taxpayers.
"To date, less than $3,000 has been spent on this public awareness campaign. A total of $13,000 has been budgeted, but a total cost will not be known until the campaign is completed. This cost is significantly less than the average of $30,000 it costs Canadian taxpayers per bogus asylum claim. Accordingly, every single unfounded claim that we can prevent from being made as a result of this public notice returns real savings for hard-working taxpayers."
The Canadian Roma community took exception to the government's campaign in Hungary last week, saying it was motivated by stereotypes and racism and did not take into account the reasons Roma want to flee the EU-member state.
Panning the government's information campaign, Gina Csanyi-Robah, executive director of Toronto's Roma Community Centre and chief spokesperson of the Canadian Roma community, accused the government of condoning continuing human rights abuses by far-right Hungarian nationalists against her people.
Listing Hungary as a DCO doesn't take into account the rising xenophobia and antisemitism taking hold there, she said.
Members of the nationalist Hungarian opposition Jobbik party have recently made overt statements against Roma and Jews, while its paramilitary offshoots have gone on marches to verbally and physically attack both Roma and Jews in recent years.
"What the Canadian government continues to do in Hungary in its efforts to discourage Roma to seek asylum in Canada is absolutely wrong," Csanyi-Robah said. "It… encourages the continued shaming and hatred directed at the [Roma] community for 'ruining Hungary's good name' and is genuinely interfering into the refugee asylum process by making Canada appear as a country to not seek safety in. When will this barrage of insulting, unjust behaviour ever end? When in our history as a country has the Canadian government ever engaged in such activities?"
Kenney's office noted that in 2009, it engaged in "a similar public notice campaign" for residents of Mexico and the Czech Republic.
In February and March 2011 the ministry also ran a four-week anti-fraud campaign both domestically and abroad "against crooked immigration consultants and marriage fraud." It featured TV and Internet ads, announcements in Canadian airports and on flights, and ads in "mainstream and ethnic print" media targeting potential immigrants from the Philippines, India, and China, Citizenship and Immigration Canada said.
In a Jan. 16 story on hvg.hu – Hungary's leading online economic and political magazine – Miskolc Mayor Kriza Ákos was quoted saying he was "outraged" at Canada's campaign and that his city would forbid any Roma refugees returned by Canada from finding housing or apartments if they had sold or given up their homes in order to seek asylum.
Akos said he's asked the Canadian embassy why his city was targeted for the campaign, but has not received a satisfactory answer.
The ministry told The CJN it focused its messaging on Miskolc because it "has been the No. 1 source area in Hungary for asylum claims in Canada."
In related news, on Jan. 28, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled that Hungary has violated the European Convention on Human Rights by segregating Roma schoolchildren into special needs schools without grounds.
According to the Budapest-based European Roma Rights Centre and Csanyi-Robah, the ECHR found the Hungarian government guilty of using a rigged testing system to segregate Roma children into a remedial school system.
The court noted that psychological tests conducted on Roma children were at best culturally biased, if not deliberately discriminatory. The judgment condemns the "prejudicial effect on the Roma community" of these tests and the segregation they allow, stating that victims themselves and the Roma community have suffered "discriminatory treatment" at the hands of the government.
The decision "adds to a canon of official literature that evidences systematic discrimination and persecution," Csanyi-Robah said.
A 2011 United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Canada report detailed cases of forced sterilization of Roma women in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia between 2000 and 2011 and called for increased state accountability in honouring the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racism Against Women.
There are also pending court cases across eastern Europe regarding alleged forced sterilization of Roma women as individuals begin speaking out on the sensitive subject.
"The irony is that, as Roma, Jews, and other minority groups in Hungary experience escalating hate and persecution in Hungary – including segregation, violence, and intimidation – the Canadian government is using taxpayer money to finance a campaign to discourage these same groups from seeking protection from the Canadian government," Csanyi-Robah said.

Does Replacing Toilet Fixtures Save Water?
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2012 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 03, 2012
Thousands of units of low-income housing were retrofitted for energy and water savings through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Still, multifamily housing remains the poor stepsister of single-family housing when it comes to making homes more water efficient. My company, Koeller and Company, studied the water savings achieved with toilet fixture replacements in an urban apartment complex. Because we feel that a sustainable building should be both water efficient and relatively easy and inexpensive to maintain, we also wanted to find out whether these replacements would reduce maintenance service calls.

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a disorder of the nervous system.
MSA is sometimes called a Parkinson plus syndrome because many of the symptoms are similar. There are different types MSA based on symptoms. Once symptoms develop, the average life expectancy is 10 years or less.
The cause of MSA is unknown. Genetic factors may play a role in some families.
The symptoms are caused by degeneration of nerves throughout the brain and spinal cord. These nerves control automatic functions like balance and muscle coordination. The damage to the nerve may be caused by a buildup of a specific protein, but this is not a confirmed cause.
Symptoms of MSA can vary greatly. Initial symptoms are similar to those of Parkinson's disease. These initial symptoms may also be determined by the type of MSA:
- Type MSA-A is associated with orthostatic hypotension . This is where blood pressure drops when moving from sitting to standing. It can lead to lightheadedness or fainting.
Type MSA-P is associated with symptoms similar to initial Parkinson's symptoms such as:
- Slow, stiff movements
- Tremors
- Clumsiness—loss of balance and coordination
- Shuffling
Type MSA-C is associated with:
- Difficulty swallowing
- Problems speaking and hoarseness
- Trouble breathing due to tightness in throat
- Difficulty coordinating muscle movement
As the disease progresses, symptoms will cross over types and become more severe. Many will develop muscle coordination problems and need walking aids. Other problems that may exist across type include:
- Problems with bladder and bowel control
- Erectile dysfunction
- Muscle tightening around a joint that prevents free movement
- Problems with posture, such as leaning to one side and forward head bend
- Trouble with sweating
- Inappropriate laughing or crying
- Excess yawning
- Vision problems
- Changes in writing
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. An exam of the nervous system will also be done. You will likely be referred to a specialist.
Tests may include:
- Blood tests
- Testing of owel and bladder function
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with an MRI scan .
Tests will also be done on your heart rate and blood pressure. These tests will help determine what is causing problems with your autonomic nervous system. Nerve impulses to your muscles may also be tested.
There is no cure for MSA. Treatment will focus on managing the symptoms and supportive care. Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Options include the following:
Various medications may be used to manage the symptoms of MSA. Medication may be given to:
- Relieve muscle rigidity
- Stabilize mood
- Manage orthostatic hypotension
- Relieve other symptoms such as constipation, urinary control problems, or erectile dysfunction
- Physical therapy—to help keep muscles strong and maintain range of motion
- Occupational therapy—to improve ability to do daily tasks such as eating, grooming, and dressing
- Speech therapy—to help with speaking and swallowing
- Respiratory therapy— Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for sleep apnea and other breathing problems during sleep
Dietary Support
Dietary changes in salt and fluids may help manage orthostatic hypotension.
Soft or pureed foods may be helpful with swallowing problems.
A feeding tube may be needed in later stages of MSA. It will deliver nutrition directly to the stomach.
