BarCamp Nashville Rocked!
Please tag your photos with BCN09.
Many people asked me why I wasn't going to Blog World Expo in Las Vegas this weekend. I would have loved to be there, but how could I possibly miss a rocking event right in my own town? Yesterday was the third BarCamp Nashville and it was bigger and better than ever.
I raise a toast to the organizers: Chuck Bryant, Scot Justice, Lucas Hendrickson, Kate O'Neill, Brad Blackman, Eric Chuff Shuff, Tom Cheredar, Andrew Duthie, Julia Corrigan, Doris Palomino, Darren Crawford, Winston Hearn, Scott Peave, Marissa Benchea, Heidi Short, Dan Cotton and Jessica Murray.
I understand that 600 people had registered for BCN09 and there were 75 registrations at the door. The Cadillac Ranch was jam packed with people in every nook and cranny, it was the perfect venue. Check out the pictures to truly get feel of the place.
It was fantastic reconnecting with old friends I hadn't seen in ages and making so many new ones. Thanks to CentreSource and the Tennessean for the beers :).
Roderick summarized it so well on his blog post, BarCamp Nashville '09:
The takeaway of the day: I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's all about relationships. Guess what? It's (still) all about relationships. To create and nurture relationships you have to be yourself. These manufactured, overly-polished online personas are easy to see through. It's like the guy whose hand you're shaking while he's looking at the next person he's trying to get to. FAIL! Be present. Be engaged. Be yourself. You don't have to be charming, just be sincere.
My only regret was not seeing enough sessions, there were so many incredible ones to choose from that I couldn't attend them all. On top of this I often got caught between sessions in conversations outside of the session rooms, that however is never a regret.
I'm so excited about what's next for Nashville technology community. I think Marcus Whitney hit the nail on the head that we need to keep bringing more talent to this town, so that we'll continue growing and we'll all be better off. Chris Ennis had a great presentation where he encouraged people interested in starting something to do so. Just do it people!
Thanks again to everyone involved, you all truly rock!

Don Cherry: Hockey Canada on 'road to Hell' with Peewee bodychecking ban
Don Cherry thinks he knows where Hockey Canada is headed after the organization placed a nationwide ban on bodychecking in Peewee hockey.
"You (Hockey Canada) have good intentions, but the road to Hell is paved with good intentions," Cherry on Saturday's edition of Coach's Corner. "You're going to be sorry. You watch and see, you will be sorry."
Earlier in the day, Hockey Canada's board of directors voted to eliminate bodychecking for players from ages of 11-12 to lower the risk of injuries.
The ban came on the heels of a recent study led by the University of Calgary that found bodychecking at the Peewee level more than triples the likelihood of concussion or other major injuries.
Cherry thinks the ban will impede children's ability to learn how to safely throw and receive hits.
"What's going to happen is these kids are going to go up to (age) 13 and then they're going to go in with kids that hit. And they don't know how to protect themselves," Cherry said.
Cherry believes that having separate leagues with no hitting would be a better solution.
Along with the ban, Hockey Canada has formed a working group to build a mandatory national program on checking, including instructional resources, to support the "progressive implementation of checking skills" at the Novice to Peewee levels so players are better prepared for bodychecking at the Bantam and Midget levels.
The Peewee checking ban takes effect at the beginning of the 2013-14 season.

Main Dishes
Nicola Bencivenga of Nicola's Trattoria
Nicola's in Keene's Central Square was a downtown treasure. With the opening up of real estate at Railroad Street several years ago, the Bencivengas decided to make the move to larger and more modern quarters and diners have not looked back. The new space offers the same intimate feeling, but with a bit more elbow room. Nicola still cooks and puts on a show in an open kitchen. As a native Italian, he serves his passion on every plate with authenticity. Dinner only, closed Monday.

Sex may sell, but it is porn that pays. Many have felt up to the job, but most last only a few brief minutes before fading back into obscurity. For those that succeed in going the distance and making a career as a porn star, a life time of on-demand, under the spotlight, bring-me-my-sedatives pleasure awaits – as well as a small fortune. Here is our handpicked list of the wealthiest porn stars in history, a motley crew who have become cultural icons – celebrated and reviled in equal measure – and who've educated several generations in all things nasty.
7) Houston
Houston is one of life's great artistes, renowned for tirelessly playing the lead role in the 1999 masterpiece, 'The World's Biggest Gangbang 3: The Houston 620' – yes that's right, 620 men, non-stop. Since being discovered in 1995, working as a stripper at the Tropicana, Houston has gone on to porn stardom and the money to go with it – reportedly earning well over $1 million a year. But it seems this wasn't enough for the sordid star. In 1999 (she got up to quite a lot that year) Houston put her art before her body when she had her labia surgically 'trimmed' to enhance her look during close-ups. Fair enough you say: a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, but… crazily she then decided to supplement her already massive income by auctioning off said labia to a willing and perverted moron – for $10,000! Priceless.
6) Hillary Scott
This blonde bombshell claims to have had her first lesbian encounter at the shockingly young age of 11, and aside from a brief stint selling mortgages (what else…), has continued on with a life of smut to this day. With a hatful of dubious awards under her belt – including 'Best Oral Sex Scene' (2006), 'Best Group Sex Scene' (2007), and the coveted 'Orgamsic Oralist' (2006) – Hillary finally got the big one in 2007 when she signed a million dollar contract with SexZ Pictures – the largest porn contract in history. Now that's something to tell your mom about…
5) Maria Takagi
Maria, aka Rika Inoue, followed the well-trodden and timeless route to Asian porn stardom: schoolgirl —> teen pop idol —> porn starlet. Today she's reached the dizzy position of Japan's most famous and highest paid adult star, and believe us, there's plenty of healthy competition. Her deal with production company, Max A, is for a whopping 300 million yen, which is around $2.6 million. But just to show you that porn isn't all smut and sleaze, especially as far as the Japanese are concerned, Maria scooped the award for 'Best Conversation' in 2003. Yes, that's an official Japanese porn award. Anyway, would we take up a life of all-day sex and wild parties for $2.6 million dollars a year, you ask? Yes. Yes we would.
4) Ron Jeremy
This glorious hulk of a man, this sacred legend, sported one of THE all time classic taches. For that alone you might argue he should be given a salary of $10 million per year, bathed and washed in a golden bathtub by the fairest maidens in the land, scattered with sweet-smelling garlands of herbs, granted the freedom of New York City, and allowed to take tea with the Queen whenever he damn well likes. But alas, Ron Jeremy will have to make do with his $7 million fortune, amassed by appearances in over 2000 adult films (he directed another 281). If Ron was still going on today's salaries, he would surely be the richest (as well as the most oversexed) man on earth. So fearsome was this man's reputation, back in the day it was often joked: 'The kinkier acts some actresses will not perform are bestiality, sado-masochism and sex with Jeremy'.
3) Jesse Jane
Jesse Jane's explicit career began when she read an article on Tera Patrick and thought: I'm grabbing myself a piece of that action. No, not of Tera (although we're sure this has happened…), but porn star glory. Her first appearance was with the delightful, Devon, in the underrated 'No Limits'. From there she went on to scoop more awards then you can shake a dubiously shaped stick at, introduce her own line of sex toys (not to mention her ever-popular 'Decadent Love Sex Doll'), star as the leader of the 'Pussy Patrol' in the hit series Entourage, write a sex and dating column answering reader's queries for Australian mag, Ralph, as well as maintain a glittering porn career worth over $8 million. How does she do it? Oh and by the way, her favorite band is Slipknot.
2) Tera Patrick
Tera has said: "When I got into the industry, I made millions for everyone else. Now I make them for myself". And she isn't far wrong. This former nurse holds the record for the fastest selling Hustler release of all time, the cunningly entitled 'inTERActive', as well as owning her own porn empire centered around her company, Teravision. The company is worth a staggering $30 million, even though it only produces 15 titles a year – clearly more evidence that when it comes to sex, it's quality not quantity that counts… In an interesting twist, a long, drawn-out legal battle saw Tera sue Jenna Jameson – the Queen of the porn world – in 2007 for failure to pay royalties. We're sure we could think of a few ways they could settle the dispute…
1) Jenna Jameson
The Queen of Porn. Jenna Jameson has successfully crossed over into mainstream culture as the representative for all things erotic, after appearing in over 140 adult movies. In recent years she has concentrated on growing her porn company ClubJenna, founded with her ex-husband Jay Grdina, which has estimated revenues of over $30 million annually. Playboy has since acquired the company for an undisclosed sum (read: undisclosed massive sum). Jenna claims she first got into porn in retaliation at a boyfriend who cheated on her – quite the comeback, we say. Her initial performances were girl-on-girl, apparently the way many budding starlets are eased into this merciless industry, but she quickly went on to bigger, more conventional things: her famous 'signature move' was…. well, we'll leave that for you to discover in your own time (be warned: it's messy…). Quite simply THE porn legend.

Since breaking the $100 level in mid-October, WTI crude oil futures (NYMEX:CLZ13) have been in a clear downtrend as prices continue to fall through key support levels. With the recent weakness in crude, traders are asking themselves just how far it can fall. There are several factors that will lead to lower crude oil prices. Over the past few years the price of crude has been propped up by geopolitical tensions, strong hurricane seasons here in the U.S. and refinery problems. Today's geopolitical landscape is relatively stable with regards to energy and we have had a relatively mild hurricane season. The U.S. also has massively increased domestic energy production as shale fields yield record production levels.
This growth in oil production will make the U.S. the world's top oil producer by 2015. An increase in supply is not the only factor weighing on oil prices. Slowdowns in demand account for much of the downside we have seen in oil as well. Recent studies show that Americans are not driving as much as they did before the financial crisis. This has put a damper on oil demand and also has sent gasoline prices to near 3 year lows. With crude prices continuing their fall, it is likely that traders will look for ways to get short crude in the short- to medium-term.
With price action reaching another support level around $92.00, how can a trader play further downside in crude oil?
- Short crude oil futures. With large tick sizes a trader would have to risk a lot using a wide stop when selling futures naked. This trade also would have the risk of blowing out a traders account.
- Selling shares or trading options on United States Oil Fund, LP (USO). While the USO does a good job of tracking the price of crude, it is not as efficient as other derivative products.
- Options on crude oil futures. This is the most risk efficient way to take a bearish view on oil prices. We will be able to set up a trade with a great return potential and a low risk setup
With the CL February at-the-money straddle trading around $5.90 and futures at $94.00 we can calculate an implied close of $87.10 for February expiration.
Trade: Buying the CL Feb 88-87 Put Spread for $0.20
Risk: $200 per 1 lot
Reward: $800 per 1 lot
Breakeven: $87.80
This trade has a great risk to reward ratio and is a very capital efficient way to speculate on a further fall in crude oil prices through February expiration.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — John Howard, the Australian prime minister who sent troops to support U.S. and British forces in the Iraq invasion a decade ago, has criticized U.S. handling of the bloody aftermath of dictator Saddam Hussein's overthrow.
In a speech in Sydney to mark the 10th anniversary of the fall of Baghdad on April 14, Howard said Tuesday that disbanding the Iraqi Army "was a mistake" and that efforts to remove Saddam's Baath Party from civil service "went too far."
The American interim administration that replaced Saddam, the Coalition Provisional Authority, "held sway for too long" and the U.S. cut troop levels too soon, Howard said.
"The post-invasion conflict, especially between Sunnis and Shiites which caused widespread bloodshed, did more damage, in my judgment, to the credibility of the coalition operation in Iraq than the failure to find stockpiles of WMDs," Howard said in a speech released by his office that was delivered to the Lowy Institute foreign policy think-tank. He referred to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction which the U.S.-led coalition invaded to destroy but never found.
A staunch ally of U.S. President George W. Bush, Howard angered many Australians by sending 2,000 troops to invade Iraq. The then opposition center-left Labor Party, which replaced Howard's conservative administration at elections in 2007, had argued against military intervention without a specific United Nation's mandate.
The anger lingers. Around 100 anti-war and anti-Howard protesters rallied outside the venue, their chants clearly heard by Howard's audience as he spoke.
Howard has no regrets about committing Australia to the war, but detailed mistakes made after Saddam's defeat three weeks after the invasion.
Disbanding the Iraqi Army converted many Iraqi veterans into "eager recruits for the insurgency," he said.
"As well as denying coalition forces a home-grown vehicle through which to help maintain order, disbanding the army put on the streets tens of thousands of unemployed and disgruntled Iraqis," Howard said.
Howard said it was too early to gauge the extent that democracy had taken root in Iraq or the impact of the country's transition from tyranny on the Middle East.
But he said Iraq was a probable influence on the Arab Spring, the popular revolutionary uprising that has forced regime changes in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen since 2010.
"Unlike most of its region, Iraq's polity has not been roiled by the Arab Spring," Howard said. "That must surely have something to do with the democratic framework which has been established there in recent years."
"To my mind ... it is implausible that the events we now know as the Arab Spring bear no relationship of any kind to the overthrow of Saddam's regime in 2003," he said.

The reports are starting to get louder, and European football fans are getting just a tad excited at the prospect of David Beckham making his long awaited return to the continent after his contract with LA Galaxy runs out.
Clubs are admitting and revealing left right and centre that they're interested in the star, and the England international will certainly be spoiled for choice if he does decide to leave America next year.
While Beckham's contract, which he signed in 2007, runs until November, he had the option to leave three years into the deal, and opted to stay in Los Angeles.
But with the Olympics coming up at the end of the season, and Beckham claiming that he'd like to be considered for selection for the GB Team, a European side might be more suited to him to continue to ply his trade.
QPR have emerged as a possible English destination for Beckham, with new owner Tony Fernandes claiming the superstar has 'always been in my thoughts'.
Vice-president Amit Bhatia admitted that he doesn't think that Beckham would go to a club of Rangers' caliber though, a major stumbling block.
"Would we like to have him? Most certainly," Bhatia said. "Have Tony and I discussed it? Yes.
"I am just not sure it's a real possibility. We would like to sign people of Beckham's calibre. I am just not certain Beckham would choose to come to us as a newly-promoted side.
"If he came to London, maybe he'd choose a bigger club like Spurs."
Harry Redknapp also weighed into talks of a move for Beckham, saying he'd welcome the midfielder with open arms if he wanted to return to Tottenham, after training there at the start of the year during the MLS off-season.
And Paris Saint-Germain are also apparently hoping to bring the star to France, with the newly cashed-up club offering to pay wages that Tottenham and QPR couldn't compete with.
A lot of Beckham's next destination will come down to his motivations over the last years of his career; does he want to leave a legacy at a particular club? Or does he want to work towards being selected for the GB team in the 2012 Olympics?
The fact that Beckham is now 36-years-old shows just how much marketing power he still has in the global market to be getting this much attention over his next move.
Should he want to be a contender for the Olympics, Tottenham would surely seem a good destination to get to maximum match fitness, and after coming so close to signing with Spurs at the start of the year, and sharing a history with the club from his youth days, Beckham could decide that as much as he doesn't want to play against Manchester United, he wants that gold medal a little more.
QPR would be a club that will let Beckham have complete free reign; they will make every games all about him, and if Beckham's aim is to be revered and grow his devoted fan base even bigger, then either could suit his needs.
But Paris Saint Germain have the money card, and a life in glamorous Paris won't be too shabby for Beckham's wife Victoria.
Either way, Beckham looks set to leave America, and the transfer rumours will be rife over where his future lies. My bet is he'll end up at Tottenham, what's yours?

Oh Brudder, Wear Out Thou!!!??
Beware the Mountaineers!
Haters (insert the "eat-a-person" emoticon)
Clemson -9.5 .....revenge mixed with a Clemson uptick in defensive ability
Utah +14 ....maybe I'm a sucker, but USC has thin talent and a moron for a coach. A road game at night and altitude doesnt seem like a dream come true for them....
K ST -24 ......Bloodbath. Weis may order a pizza at the end of the 1st quarter and go sit in the press box
Indiana +16 ....Sparty has Iowa and Michigan on deck. Covering 16 on the road is a pretty tall order for a team that isnt averaging 20 ppg.....
NW +3 ....NW has already played 2 team very similar to PSU, BC and Vandy and held them both to 13 points ....Penn St has not played anyone like NW and I think the NW short passing game will be very effective.....
Purdue +3 & O57 ....When Denard can beat a decent team, on the road, I will lose a bet.....Until then, Boilermakers 37 Mich 30
Maryland -4 .....WF is in for a beating imo. Maryland off a bye week and they just held WVA to 31 on the road. WF was just held to 27 vs Duke.....I see a 17 point ceiling for them
Vandy +7.5 ....Spot play. Mizzou off a road win as a dog, now favored with BAMA on deck.....
Miami +13 ....Against team not named Navy, the Irish are averaging 17 ppg....This will be the best/fastest offense ND has faced, and the fastest defense (not best however, that would be MSU). The U has got 2 things they havent had in years.....confidence and swagger.
Neb +4.5 & U57.5 ....Braxton Miller probably not 100%. OSU running game pretty shitty wothout his option yards. Martinez still isnt that good, but hes improved enough to be able to manage the game a bit better...
UCLA -2.5 ....Just a gut play. Bruins are on the rise and Zach Maynard is a clusterfuck waiting to happen. Bruins with a good tune up vs colorado and a short trip to Berkley
LSU -2.5 ....I'll take the better coach (never thought I'd say that). "Struggles" with Auburn and Towson have added about 4 points of value. I think the bye week actually will hurt Florida who was rolling
AF -9.5 & U55 ....Navy has averaged 5 ppg vs Penn St,ND and SJST. AF is averaging about 38 ppg....
Oregon -24 .....What else can I say. Huskies defense has zero chance of stopping this squad. Zero.
Iowa St +11.5 ....Missed a much better number. May be late to the party, but the Cyclones are pretty scrappy.

Area-based Responses to Educational Disadvantage
Kirstin Kerr and Alan Dyson
Countries across the world struggle to break the relationship between socio-economic disadvantage and educational outcomes. Even in otherwise affluent countries, children and young people from poor and marginalized families tend to do badly in education, and their lack of educational success makes it more likely that they will remain in poverty as adults. Moreover, socio-economic disadvantage and educational failure in these countries tend to be concentrated in particular places, such as the poor neighborhoods of large cities or of post-industrial towns. This has led policy-makers and practitioners in many administrations to favor area-based initiatives (ABIs), which target such places, as one set of responses to social and educational disadvantage. Some ABIs are limited to funding schools more generously in disadvantaged areas or giving them additional support and flexibilities. The more ambitious initiatives, however, seek to develop multistrand interventions to tackle both the educational and the social and economic problems of areas simultaneously.
The evaluation evidence suggests that these initiatives have so far met with limited success at best. This has led some critics to conclude that there is a fundamental contradiction in their use of purely local interventions to tackle problems that originate outside ABIs' target areas, in macro-level social and economic processes. However, it is possible to construct a convincing rationale for these initiatives by understanding the social ecologies that shape children's outcomes, and by formulating holistic interventions aimed at reducing the risks in those ecologies and enhancing children's resilience in the face of those risks. There is, moreover, evidence of a new generation of ABIs that has begun to emerge recently. These new ABIs are able to operate strategically and over the long-term, rather than being bound by the short-term nature of policy-making. These newer initiatives may offer a better prospect of tackling the link between social and educational disadvantage, even in unpromising economic circumstances, and even within the context of "politics as usual."
Commercialization in Education
Anna Hogan and Greg Thompson
In the literature, a range of terminology is used to describe the reorganization of public education. In much critical policy sociology the terms marketization, privatization, and commercialization are used interchangeably. Our argument is that each of these denotes distinct, albeit related, characteristics of contemporary schooling and the impact of the Global Education Industry (GEI). We define marketization as the series of policy logics that aim to create quasimarkets in education; privatization as the development of quasimarkets in education that privilege parental choice, school autonomy and venture philanthropy; and commercialization as the creation, marketing, and sale of educational goods and services to schools by external providers. We explain the manifestations of each of these forms and offer two cases of actors situated within the GEI, the OECD, and Pearson PLC, to outline how commercialization and privatization proceed at the level of policy and practice.
Decolonial Philosophy and Education
Nassim Noroozi
"Decolonial philosophy of education" is an almost nonexistent term. Consequently, rigorous intellectual and scholarly conversations on education tend to be centered around a specific set of concepts and discourses that were (and still are) generated, picked up or analyzed by thinkers from a specific geographical and political space, such as Socrates, Rousseau, Dewey, Heidegger, and Foucault. This has led to the systemic ignoring and violating concepts and ideas generated from other spaces and lived through by other people.
This legacy can also be related to some philosophical aspirations for gaining total, hegemonic, and universal perceptions and representations often formulated by male Euro-American philosophers; when this intellectual passion for universality becomes coupled with or stays silent about imperial and expansionist ambitions, it can see itself implicated in creating assimilationist or genocidal practices: in education, the manifestation of universality associated with imperialism is observed in Indian residential schools. While the words education, literacy, curriculum, learning of languages, acquiring knowledge, school, school desks, and school buildings might normally echo positive vibes for many, it can make an aboriginal survivor of an Indian residential school shudder. It is furthermore hard to ignore the aspirations for a European/Universalist definition of human and man in the famous "Kill the Indian to save the child" policy of Indian Residential Schools. However, the likelihood of deeming such assimilationist attempts as benign acts of trial and error and as events external to philosophy is generally high. Therefore, the "colonial edge" of these philosophies are, more often than not, left unexamined.
This is the plane where decolonial philosopher dwell. They deliberate on essential key moments and discussions in philosophical thought that have either not been paused at enough or paused at all, and thereby question this lack of attention. There is an important reason for these intellectual halts practiced by decolonial philosophers. While these might seem to be abstract epistemic endeavors, decolonial philosophers see their work as practices of liberation that aim beyond disrupting the eminence of mainstream Euro-American philosophical thought. Through these interrogative pauses, they hope to intervene, overturn and restructure the philosophical, political and social imaginations in favor of the silenced, the ignored, the colonized, and the (epistemologically and physically) violated.
This article engages with certain key decolonial theses and is concerned with the hope of initiating and further expanding the dialogues of decolonization in the philosophy of education. The article will, however, stay away from adding new theses or theories to decolonial education. The author believes that this field, much like other paradigms, either can or will at some point suffer from theoretical exhaustion. Instead, it directs the readers to pause at some of the decisive moments discussed in decolonial theories.
Dynamics in Education Politics and the Finnish PISA Miracle
Hannu Simola, Jaakko Kauko, Janne Varjo, Mira Kalalahti, and Fritjof Sahlström
The international debate on Finnish educational "success" had made relevant a cultural and historical analysis of Finnish education, with a focus on the effects of the ongoing preoccupation with the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results on basic education. Such international comparisons demand a strong theoretical approach, in part because the contrastive analysis of empirical "facts" and "realities" requires that they be situated in relation to their local and, in this case, national systems and contexts. It may be assumed that the quantitative indicators agreed on in intergovernmental negotiations between senior bureaucrats do indeed provide valid comparisons of education systems, as is the conventional wisdom in the field of economics. Nevertheless, these remain value-loaded collections of indicators of development that offer at best parallel lines of comparative analysis. The Finnish case argues for strong theory-based conceptualizations as the basis for, first, complex comparison and, second, shared models of policy action and intervention.
The comparative education field faces four interlinked challenges. First, there is a lack of theory building and development in the field, where politically and ideologically motivated investigative large-scale assessment practices are defining the state of the art. Second, the focus of the studies tends to be on empirically measurable end products instead of documented processes, which makes it possible to generate competitive rankings but reveals little about specific and shared developmental processes in educational systems. Third, although complexity and contingency are widely accepted in the social world on the general level, they appear to seldom reach empirical studies; the vast majority of standard approaches still advocate simple explanatory models. Finally, and paradoxically enough, there is a form of intellectual nationalism that inhibits the conceptualization and understanding of the relationship between, for example, transnational processes and nation-states. In this regard, comparative education needs a strong and ambitious theory-based framework with the potential to incorporate sociohistorical complexity, cultural relationality, and sociological contingency. Without a strong theory-driven approach, it is hard to go beyond merely listing the similarities and differences that facilitate the rankings but blur the processes.
At the research unit for Sociology and Politics in Education (KUPOLI) at the University of Helsinki, a new conceptualization was formulated in early 2010s and an ambitious research plan, Comparative Analytics of Dynamics in Education Politics (CADEP), was launched. The thesis was that to progress beyond the state of the art and arrive at a comparative understanding of educational systems, it would be necessary to focus on dynamics, with a view to grasping the fluid and mobile nature of the subject. This heuristic starting point echoed relativistic dynamics in physics, characterized as a combination of relativistic and quantum theories to describe the relationships between the principal elements of a relativistic system and the forces acting on it. It is curious that, though on the conceptual level the dynamics of a system are constantly referred to as being among its key attributes, there has been little progress on the analytical level in the social sciences since the seminal work of Pitirim Sorokin in the 1950s. The CADEP develops conceptually the theoretical understanding of dynamics to resubmit a specific social field of education to scrutiny by analyzing the relations between the main actors and institutions and essential discursive formations and practices. It is assumed that given its connection with relations and movement, the concept of dynamics will not reduce a mobile and fluid subject of study to a stagnant and inanimate object. There are four constitutive dynamics that make the Finnish educational success story understandable. Success and failure in basic education seem to be relative, and to reflect intertwined dynamics in policymaking, governance, families' educational strategies, and classroom cultures. The emphasis of the understanding is on the contingent, relational, and complex character of political history.
Globalization and Education
Liz Jackson
Few would deny that processes of globalization have impacted education around the world in many important ways. Yet the term "globalization" is relatively new, and its meaning or nature, conceptualization, and impact remain essentially contested within the educational research community. There is no global consensus on the exact time period of its occurrence or its most significant shaping processes, from those who focus on its social and cultural framings to those that hold global political-economic systems or transnational social actors as most influential. Intersecting questions also arise regarding whether its influence on human communities and the world should be conceived of as mostly good or mostly bad, which have significant implications for debates regarding the relationship between globalization and education. Competing understandings of globalization also undergird diverse methodologies and perspectives in expanding fields of research into the relationship between education and globalization.
There are many ways to frame the relationship of globalization and education. Scholars often pursue the topic by examining globalization's perceived impact on education, as in many cases global convergence around educational policies, practices, and values has been observed in the early 21st century. Yet educational borrowing and transferal remains unstraightforward in practice, as educational and cultural differences across social contexts remain, while ultimate ends of education (such as math competencies versus moral cultivation) are essentially contested. Clearly, specificity is important to understand globalization in relation to education. As with globalization generally, globalization in education cannot be merely described as harmful or beneficial, but depends on one's position, perspective, values, and priorities.
Education and educators' impacts on globalization also remain a worthwhile focus of exploration in research and theorization. Educators do not merely react to globalization and related processes, but purposefully interact with them, as they prepare their students to respond to challenges and opportunities posed by processes associated with globalization. As cultural and political-economic considerations remain crucial in understanding globalization and education, positionality and research ethics and reflexivity remain important research concerns, to understand globalization not just as homogeneity or oppressive top-down features, but as complex and dynamic local and global intersections of people, ideas, and goods, with unclear impacts in the future.
Globalization of Educational Knowledge and Research
Keita Takayama
Transnational flows of educational knowledge and research are fundamentally guided by the global geopolitics of knowledge—the historically constituted relations of power born out of the continuing legacy of modernity/coloniality. In the early nation-building stage of the 19th century, state-funded education was at the core of states' pursuit for economic and social progress. Newly formed nation states actively sought new educational knowledge from countries considered more advanced in the global race toward modernity and industrialization. The transnational lesson drawing in education at the time was guided by the view of modernity as originating in and diffusing from the West. This created the unidirectional flow of educational influence from advanced economies of the West to the rest of the world. Central to the rise of modernity in Western state formation is the use of education as a technology of social regulations. Through the expansion of state-funded education, people were turned into the people, self-governing citizens, and then the population that was amenable to a state's social and economic calculation and military deployment. But this development was embedded in the geopolitical context of the time, in which Western modernity was deeply entangled with its underside, coloniality in the rest of the world. Various uses of education as a social control were tested out first in colonial peripheries and then brought back to the imperial centers.
Today, the use of education for the modernist pursuit of perfecting society has been intensified through the constitution of the globalized education policy space. International organizations such as the World Bank and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) act as the nodes through which transnational networks of education policy actors are formed, where the power of statistics for social and educational progress is widely shared. Both developed and developing countries are increasingly incorporated into this shared epistemological space, albeit through different channels and due to different factors. The rise of international academic testing such as OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has certainly changed the traditional pattern of education research and knowledge flows, and more lesson drawing from countries and regions outside the Anglo-European context is pursued. And yet, the challenges that PISA poses to the Eurocentric pattern of educational knowledge and research flows are curtailed by the persistence of the colonial legacy. This most clearly crystalizes in the dismissive and derogatory characterization of East Asian PISA high achievers in the recent PISA debate. Hence, the current globalization of education knowledge and research remains entangled with the active legacy of coloniality, the uneven global knowledge structure.
Indigenous School Education in Brazil
Roseli R. Mello, Marcondy M. de Sousa, and Thaís J. Palomino
Self-determination of the original peoples of any nation, preservation of their territories, preservation of traditions, and negotiation of customs facing national cultures are central themes in the debate about and among indigenous peoples in the world. School education is directly linked to such themes as an instrument of acculturation or self-determination and emancipation. As in other countries of the globe, throughout history, what happened and is happening in Brazil is not isolated fact. Current conditions are the product of colonization processes, the development of industrial society, and more recently of globalization. Such historical processes bring struggles, confrontations, transformations, and solidarity. In the legal sphere, international conventions, declarations, and treaties have influenced more or less directly the norms and laws on the subject: from the papal bull and treaties between colonizing kingdoms, to the Declaration of Human Rights, to Convention 169 of the International Labor Organization, the Brazilian indigenous issue, like that of many other countries, is also based on, supported by, or held back by actions, debates, and international interests.
But what makes the case of Brazil worthy of relevance for thinking about indigenous education? Two elements make up an answer: the specific way the governors establish relations with the original peoples, and the fact that Brazil has the greatest diversity of indigenous communities.
Intellectual Property and Education
John Willinsky
Concerns about intellectual property in education typically involve administrative interest in improving institutional compliance with copyright and patent laws. The focus on compliance, rather than on intellectual property as an area of educational inquiry for students raises two questions: Are educational institutions adequately preparing students (a) to participate in a global economy that is increasingly driven by intellectual property and (b) for a future in which the creation and distribution of intellectual property is being reshaped by the emerging digital era? The educational value of intellectual property begins, however, with history of the concept in which learning played a strong role in giving shape to the idea of text as an intangible good associated with distinct properties, rights, and responsibilities, with all of this taking place well before the 18th-century introduction of the modern concepts of copyright and patent law. In light of this history and its contemporary standing, intellectual property has much to offer as a way for students and teachers to gain insight into the nature of creative work in relation to private property and the public domain. While education benefits from exceptions made for "fair use" and other exemptions in copyright law, the digital era has seen the introduction of new intellectual property strategies that support the collective educational enterprise, including Creative Commons licensing, open educational resources, open access to research, and open source software. While intellectual property has played a small part in business education and composition classes in the past, a number of innovative programs now involve students in different approaches to balancing the private and public interests associated with this concept, suggesting the value that intellectual property holds, as a teachable topic, for the curriculum and for thinking, more broadly, about education's role as a public good.
Schools as Reform Incubators
William T. Pink
From a comprehensive analysis of the extant educational literature on school change, it is evident that two activities are essential for the successful reform of schools in the United States. While the focus in this article will be on the programmatic shifts implemented in U.S. schools, the danger of exporting these same failed programs to other countries also will be noted. The first requirement is a systematic critique of the major school reform strategies that have been employed since the 1960s (e.g., the Effective Schools model, standardized testing and school accountability, the standards movement, privatization of schools, charter schools, and virtual/cyber schools). The major conclusion of this critique is that each of these reform strategies has done little to alter the connection between schooling and their production of labor for the maintenance of Western capitalism: beginning in the early 1970s an increasingly strong case has been made that the design and goal of U.S. schooling has been driven by the need to produce an endless supply of differentiated workers to sustain the U.S. economy. Moreover, while both equality and equity have entered the conversations about school reform during this period, it becomes evident that the relative position of both poor students and students of color, with respect to their more affluent White peers, has remained at best unchanged.
The second essential requirement is the exploration of an alternative vision for school reform that is grounded in a perspective of equity, both in schools and in the society. Beginning with the question "What would schools look like, and what would be the role of the teacher in a school that was committed to maximizing equity?" such an alternative vision is built on the concept of developing broadly informed students able to play both a thoughtful and active role in shaping the society in which they live, rather than be trained to fit into a society shaped by the interests of capital. From this exploration of the literature emerges a new role for both schools and teachers that repositions schooling as an incubator for social change, with equity as a primary goal. Also addressed is the importance of inequitable economic and public policies that work to systematically inhibit student learning. A key element in forging a successful transition to schools functioning as incubators for reform is the ability of preservice teacher preparation programs to graduate new teachers capable of doing this intellectual work, and for current classroom teachers to engage in professional development to achieve the same end What is clear from a reading of this literature is that without this re-visioning and subsequent reform of schooling, together with a reform of key public policies, we must face the high probability of the rapid implosion of the public school system and the inevitable escalation of class warfare in the United States.
State Initiatives on Globalizing Higher Education in Japan
Satoshi P. Watanabe, Machi Sato, and Masataka Murasawa
The aim of internationalization for Japan during the early postwar period, still emerging from being an ODA (Official Development Assistance) recipient nation, was to promote student exchanges and mutual understanding across nations. Japan then successfully shifted its role to that of an ODA provider in the 1970s, engaging as a responsible citizen in the international community. However, the nation's competitive edge has slipped with a long-stagnating economy from the mid-1990s onward, the national target has shifted from the ODA provider role towards desperate attempts to regain the lost edge through public investment in research and development as well as promoting internationalization of the nation.
As the notions of world-class universities and global university rankings have prevailed worldwide over the last decade or so, the recent policies established by the Japanese government in response to an increasingly competitive and globalizing environment of higher education have transformed to leveraging domestic universities to compete for placement in the global university rankings. Balancing the reputation demonstrated in the global university rankings and generated inequalities in the service and quality of education provided among these institutions seems to be critically lacking in the current debate and hasty movement toward internationalization by the Japanese government. These hastily made policies do have some strong potential to build Japan's universities into stronger institutions for learning, research, and producing globally competitive graduates. However, thorough long-range planning, keen insight into the overall impact of the policies, and clear long-term goals will be critical in attaining success.

March 2 – Photograph
For this post we are asked to post a photo of one of our female ancestors, say who is in the photo, when it was taken and why was this photo selected.
The photo I show here is for a female ancestor known to me as Aunt Kate because that is how my Mum and my Aunt refer to her. Aunt Kate is Kate Tuck born about 1859 in Ablington, Wiltshire, UK. She married Thomas Cousens (born about 1858 and referred to by the family as Old Uncle Tom) in 1880 in Hampshire, UK. They had five children.
I find it very interesting that my Mum and Aunt refer to Kate as Aunt Kate because in fact she is their 1st cousin twice removed!
This photo must have been taken about 1929 – mid 1930s but as yet I have not ascertained when Aunt Kate died or how old she is in this photo.
The reason I selected this photo is because I just think she looks a very nice person and I don't have too many other photos of female ancestors that haven't already appeared here in the blog. I also wanted to do some more blog posts on my maternal side of the family.

Scilab applied to energy consumption: measurement, simulation and energy bill cutting
By Jean-Pierre Bovée, Sanofi
Energy bill cutting is a rising a key target today for individuals as well as for large organizations. Setting up an energy bill cutting program involves 5 main steps:
- Make an energy consumption assessment
- Estimate equipment (Air Handling Units: AHU) individual consumption, using measurement as close as possible to actual sensors / actuators.
- Investigate these results and identify obvious savings opportunity
- Question tolerance values
- Question setpoints mapping across site(s) versus products
- Simulate equipment to determine other savings opportunities
- Change variable setpoints (i.e. temperature, Relative Humidiy, …)
- Enhance equipment (i.e. free cooling, motors efficieny, …) and rooms (i.e. insulation)
- Improve control strategy (i.e. predictive control)
- Further checking payback, implement selected opportunities
- Measure actual savings versus expected ones.
- Close the loop as needed.
For all of these steps Scilab delivers a powerful toolset, ranging from online measurement to consumption simulation.

It's not exactly the healthiest time of year, what with so many bowls of candy within arm's reach. But while sweets are never going to be good for you, there is a better-for-you alternative this year: Unreal Candy.
This new line of sweets, manufactured to imitate faves like M&Ms, Milky Way, Snickers and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, is made with without corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oil, artificial ingredients, GMOs, and preservatives. There's less sugar too. We tried it, and while it doesn't taste exactly like the real thing, it taste delicious and kids won't know the difference. And the side-by-side nutritional comparison speaks for itself, although to be fair, serving sizes are a bit smaller.
Plus: Best and Worst Halloween Candy for Your Teeth
The idea for the company began with an argument between a teenager and his dad. When founder Michael Bronner confiscated his son's Halloween candy haul because it was so unhealthy, 13-year-old Nicky set out to prove to his dad that candy wasn't all that bad. But after some internet research, he realized he couldn't make his case. Nicky wanted to know why candy couldn't be made with healthier ingredients, and his dad and brother Kris joined him to find out if it could.
Unreal can already be found at 30,000 grocery stores and drugstores across the country, and will be available in Target soon. They retail for a suggested price of $.89 to $1.29.

I. In Focus This WeekCandidates aren't only ones talking about money
Local officials work to fund upcoming election
While the economy has been one of the major topics of Election 2012, the candidates running for office aren't the only ones concerned about money.
Ask any seasoned election official and they will tell you, having enough funds to make ends meet during elections season is never easy. However, with states and local governments still struggling in the current economy pulling off this year's elections on budget has been exceedingly difficult.
Things like increased requests for absentee ballots, and longer ballots which require more printing and more postage are making demands on elections offices that can't always be anticipated at budget time.
Of course, the show must go on and so the local elections administration officials find a way, whether it's tapping into reserves, seeking out additional funding, finding ways to cut costs in areas other than Election Day, or coming up with creative ways to save money.
"There's a good chance that Black Hawk County will go over budget with this election," explained Grant Veeder, Black Hawk County, Iowa auditor. "Part of it is that we have ordered more ballots than we originally anticipated due to voter registration increases, but the big factor is paying for more overtime and for more temporary staff than expected because of the big increase in absentee ballots."
Veeder said that as of press time, Black Hawk County is about 40 percent ahead of the absentee requests than they were four years ago. Veeder also noted that a change to Iowa's use of satellite voting has put added pressure on budgets. This year anyone, campaign or individual, can have a county open additional early voting sites if you get 100 signatures. The county has seven satellite voting sites, the Obama campaign campaigned for seven sites and the GOP petitioned for one.
"The cost for each of these varies by the number of precinct officials we staff them with, but they run about $200-400 a day each. Most of them are single day satellites, but one is six days and another is three days," Veeder explained. "Both of the latter sites we established ourselves, and one was reduced from six days (which we had four years ago) to three because it's on the University of Northern Iowa campus, and that's where five of the petitioned sites are."
Veeder noted that he would not be surprised if other counties aren't in the same over-budgeted situation as Black Hawk.
"But I would say that it is likely that in most cases this will be adjusted through budget amendments, and most counties have reserves to cover these amendments, or experience lower-than-budgeted expenditures in other areas that can pick up the overage in elections," Veeder said.
In Illinois, the state is about $2.5 million short in its elections budget that will most likely need to be made up by the counties.
According to Sally J. Litterly, Logan County clerk and recorder, all county clerks are on a tight budget for the November election. She is also the current president of the Illinois Association of County Clerks and Recorders.
Litterly said that county elections officials have grown accustomed to working around state funding problems.
"The money will come from good fiscal management in the budgets of the county clerks," Litterly said. "Anywhere where we are dependent upon state reimbursement for payment of a bill or salary, we know not to fully count on it."
The county already had an expensive primary, has elections in 2013 to prepare for and reduced its precincts from 45 to 29 in a cost-cutting measure. Litterly is also working with other county departments for help in preparing for the elections such as the highway department that is helping transport the elections equipment to the polling sites.
"We never count our chickens before they are hatched," Litterly said. "I find county government to be fiscally responsible and closer to the people, and Clerks are penny pinchers; not only because it is our duty as elected office holders with tax-payer dollars, but because we cannot count on the state to reimburse us."
They are watching their pennies in Tooele County, Utah as well. While the county itself is currently operating with a budget deficit County Clerk Marilyn Gillette said the clerks office is still within budget, but they are "watching every penny."
According to Gillette the clerk's office has taken steps over the years though to prepare for the lean times.
"A few years ago we began using county employees for the bulk of early voting days, rather than hiring election workers," Gillette said. "The county is already paying the workers and the offices are very generous to let us use their staff. We have also implemented vote centers rather than precinct locations. This makes it so we can use buildings that are more conducive to the public for access and parking (because we need fewer of them) but we also need fewer election workers."
Printing and postage costs are always some of the biggest costs an elections office can face and Gillette said her county saved money by outsourcing the printing to a local printer instead of doing it in-house.
"We've also applied for a nonprofit mail permit which allows us to send ballots out at the nonprofit, rather than first class price," Gillette said. "Previously by-mail ballots cost an average of $3.00 per ballot, we are now processing and mailing them for about $1.20."
It's postage and printing that had Detroit's clerk's office seeking additional money from the city council—nearly half a million dollars.
Like other areas, the ballot in Detroit this year is larger than normal—four pages double-sided—and the added costs for printing the ballots and mailing out the absentee ballots found the elections department in need of an additional $450,000.
And it's not just local elections officials who are going to have fork over some additional money this election cycle. Many officials are working frantically to remind mail-in and absentee voters that they need to use additional postage on their ballots due to the length and size of this year's ballots.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's powerful military, sidelined last summer by the newly elected Islamist president, edged back Saturday into a political fray boiling over with tensions between secular forces and a government determined to pass a constitution enshrining a central role for religion.
A military statement warning of "disastrous" consequences should the standoff continue was widely interpreted as pushing President Mohammed Morsi to compromise and meet the opposition halfway over a draft constitution and the near-absolute powers he gave himself.
A direct military intervention to stave off bloodshed would likely enjoy the paradoxical and tacit support, at least initially, of some pro-democracy activists mortified by the authoritarian bent and Islamist ambitions of the freely elected Muslim Brotherhood-backed government.
Egypt's military, which had been the nation's de facto ruler since army officers seized power in a 1952 coup, remains the country's most powerful institution. But it has kept a low profile since Morsi ordered the retirement of its top two officers in August and canceled a constitutional declaration that gave it legislative powers when parliament's law-making chamber was dissolved by a court ruling.
The carefully worded statement appeared designed in part to show the military's growing impatience with the deepening political crisis pitting Morsi and his Islamist supporters against secular and liberal forces, including minority Christians.
It said dialogue was the "best and only" way to overcome the nation's deepening conflict. "Anything other than that (dialogue) will force us into a dark tunnel with disastrous consequences; something that we won't allow," it warned. "Failing to reach a consensus," is in the interest of neither side, it added. "The nation as a whole will pay the price."
Following its return to the barracks in June after a 16-month stint leading the country after Hosni Mubarak's ouster, the military has been busy cleaning up its image and focusing on its core task. Morsi, meanwhile, has since taking office five months ago been going out of his way to assure the generals that he has no intention of meddling in their affairs. The draft constitution hurriedly adopted by Morsi's Islamist backers also leaves the armed forces as an entity above oversight.
Whether the military wants to return to the messy business of running a nation torn by divisions and beset by political turmoil and chronic economic woes may be doubtful. However, many, in view of Saturday's statement, see the possibility of a limited and temporary intervention to save the country from civil strife if the need arises.
A Muslim Brotherhood spokesman, Mahmoud Ghozlan, said he saw the statement as an expression of support for Morsi, but lamented the military's return to the political fray. "We don't accept the interference of the military," he said.
Mohammed Waked, a prominent activist of the National Front for Justice and Democracy and a veteran of last year's uprising against Mubarak's rule, said any attempt by the military to return to power would initially be successful given heightened fear of violence.
"We will oppose it ... but there is a larger segment in society now that is willing to accept it more than before," he added. "It is in Morsi's hands."
The military's role in the ongoing crisis began Thursday with troops sealing off the area around Morsi's Cairo palace — scene of mass opposition rallies and deadly clashes — with tanks, armored vehicles and barbed wire. Images of elite Republican Guards' troops surrounding the palace area were the most high-profile troop deployment since the army handed power to Morsi in June.
The troops, however, have been anything but hostile to the opposition protesters in the area, allowing them on Friday to bypass their lines and surge ahead all the way to the walls of the palace, which they covered with anti-Morsi graffiti and banners denouncing the Brotherhood. Protesters also have painted anti-Morsi graffiti on the tanks.
The deployment, however, was received with mixed feelings— underlining the tenuous relations between the two sides and the lingering fear of a return to military rule. Some in the crowd posed with army officers for pictures, as soldiers assured them they won't let anyone harm them. But others rejected the military's reassurances, and one female protester shouted to the officers that their tanks had protesters' blood on them, a reference to a violent crackdown by the military on a protest last year.
Many protesters also heckled a small crowd that chanted "the military and the people are one hand" — a slogan first used by protesters when army troops replaced the hated police on the streets during the 18-day anti-Mubarak uprising.
Abdullah el-Sinawi, a prominent commentator close to the military, said Saturday's statement was a warning to Morsi and his Islamist backers to reach an agreement with their opponents to prevent the country's security from unraveling.
"We don't want a coup, and the military itself doesn't want to return to politics. But if it is forced to interfere to restore security, it will," el-Sinawi said. "The onus is on Morsi."
Mostafa el-Naggar, a former lawmaker and protest leader during last year's anti-Mubarak uprising, speculated that it could not have been easy for the military to issue the statement after the scathing criticism it endured for its running of the country starting from Mubarak's ouster in February, 2011 and June this year when it handed power to Morsi, the country's first civilian and freely elected president.
"It means a return to political life," el-Naggar said of the statement. "The military is saying it is still here and will interfere when necessary."
Egypt's military long enjoyed an aura of invincibility. All four presidents before Morsi hailed from the army, which considers itself the ultimate guarantor of the nation's sovereignty and safety.
Army generals taking powerful jobs on retirement in the state-owned public sector and as provincial governors ensured that the military's influence extended beyond the armed forces, which have over the years built an economic empire above oversight of any kind. But its reputation was shattered in the aftermath of Mubarak's ouster.
Until Morsi came to power in June as the nation's first freely elected president, Egypt's military had been struggling with protesters accusing it of trying to stall the transition to democracy after Mubarak was ousted by a popular uprising in February 2011.
It faced allegations of human rights violations, including torturing detainees, and scenes of elite troops beating up peaceful protesters, including women, on the streets hurt its standing as the defender of the nation.
This week's scenes of Brotherhood supporters armed with sticks carrying out military-type drills on streets close to Morsi's palace in the upscale Heliopolis district have revived suspicions that the fundamentalist group is running militias and made the prospect of an army intervention more palatable.
"The escalation of the conflict into civil strife becomes a risk to the military's interests and the country as a whole," said Michael W. Hanna, an Egypt expert from the New York-based Century Foundation. "So, the statement is a reminder of the potential role of the military and a signal for civilians to manage the political process."
Egypt's ongoing crisis is the worst since Mubarak's ouster, with the two sides repeatedly bringing out tens of thousands of supporters on the streets and the two sides at times fighting each other with firebombs, sticks and rocks. Offices of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood have been attacked, sometimes torched, by his opponents. With neither side willing to compromise and a flurry of threats of violence by radical Islamists, the specter of more and widespread violence is real.
Omar Abdel-Halim, a 28-year-old veteran of the 2011 uprising, says he and his comrades will reserve judgment on a possible intervention by the military to end the violence.
If there is large scale bloodshed between the revolutionaries and the Islamists, he added, the army may not even be able to end it. "I think troops will just deploy to protect state institutions. They are not equipped to go after combatants on side streets and in alleys."

Good news for Elvis, it appears that blue suede shoes (and leather ones too) are enjoying a bit of a mini revival. I saw that Clarks had added navy to its range of classics this year and they are not alone. You can also buy blue suede and leather brogues and loafers too.
Of course you have to be a little careful about what you wear them with – especially if the shoes are more navy than blue. They work well with jeans, chinos and grey suit trousers, but black trousers are obviously a no.
Here is a selection that caught our eye.

One for the summer? Based on the original Clarks Desert Boot, the Jink was first introduced in 1983. It is lightweight, low and has suede uppers with a leather ankle trim. End Clothing

Dress (and Train) like an Astronaut.日, 03/02/2014 - 20:42 – Anonymous
VSSEC staff have taken boots and backpacks out to schools to add to the fun of the Astronaut Agility activity and the Discover/Explore activity. The equipment was taken from our Mission to Mars program. The boots are a bit too big for primary school students but they had great fun running in them. (They are worn over normal shoes.) We took the computers and batteries out of the astronaut backpacks so that students could use them to carry rocks. Mission controllers had a list of rocks for collection which they had to communicate to the astronauts. The communication method chosen was mostly yelling! One creative group arranged a system of hand signals which worked very well.
Students recorded their heart rates before and after the exercise. For some this was the first time they had ever felt their pulse.

VSSEC is helping schools in Australia and particularly in Victoria become involved in Mission X. One of the supports we are offering teachers is a template for students' mission logs. Students in the rest of the world are more than welcome to use this and modify it to suit themselves. We have also produced a very short quick guide for teachers with a very basic description of each activity. We are using this primarily to aid the discussion with teachers who are considering the program. I have put the two documents on Dropbox. Click on these links to download a copy:-

Arapahoe House's Ruston Award goes to Charlie, Judy McNeil
Charlie McNeil, president and chief executive officer of NexGen Resources, and his wife, Judy, have supported Arapahoe House in numerous ways over the past 15 years, and their generosity was rewarded when they were given the 2011 Ruston Award.
The presentation was part of a dinner reception held at the home of the McNeils' good friends, Kathy and Dr. James Crapo of Cherry Hills Village.
The Ruston Award honors the memory of Harry and Florence Ruston and their dedication and service to nonprofit organizations like Arapahoe House, which helps 15,000 metro-area residents per year recover from drug and alcohol addiction. Florence Ruston founded Friends of Arapahoe House with Linda Goto, Kristina Davidson and Sharon Whiton Gelt.
"The McNeils' tremendous commitment to Arapahoe House is greatly appreciated and has had a lasting impact on our community," said Arapahoe House CEO David Murphy. "We deeply appreciate their initiative and passion for our mission."
The McNeils were introduced to Arapahoe House through their church, Orchard Ward, Littleton Stake, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The couple is particularly interested in the New Directions for Families program, providing child care while their mothers participate in classes that help them get their lives back on track. They also deliver pastries once a week, teach recovering moms how to cook and sew, and participate in the yearly food, clothing and school supply drives that their church conducts for Arapahoe House.
They also have provided leadership for various Arapahoe House fundraisers, like the 2010 Arapahoe House Luncheon that featured an address by addictions expert Dr. Drew Pinsky, and have been generous financial contributors.
Charlie McNeil also serves on the board of the Arapahoe House Foundation and is a member of the corporate committee for the 2011 Arapahoe House Luncheon that takes place Friday, with Academy Award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss delivering the keynote address.
Dreyfuss has been in recovery from drugs and alcohol for 25 years.
The luncheon chaired by Jason and Laura Romero and presented by the Anschutz Foundation begins at 11:30 a.m. in Seawell Grand Ballroom at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Check for ticket availability ArapahoeHouse.org.
Outside of Arapahoe House, the McNeils are active in the Children's Diabetes Foundation and will be honored at the 25th Carousel Ball being held on Oct. 1. Judy is the president of The Guild of the Children's Diabetes Foundation at Denver and they are former Villager newspaper Villagers of the Year.
Florence and Harry Ruston's daughter, Adrienne Ruston Fitzgibbons, and her husband, Jack, were among those attending the award presentation held at the Crapos' Cherry Hills Village home. The 70-plus well-wishers also included Helen and Warren Hanks, Karen and Jim Possehl, Jeanne and Dick Saunders, Paulee and Robert Brody, Beverlee Henry and Judge Robert Fullerton, Kealey and Clayt Reynolds, LaFawn Biddle, Stan and Sarah Sena, and Edie and Mort Marks.
