IGLS, Austria (AP) -- Olympic luge champion Felix Loch led a German sweep of the top five positions at the season-opening race Sunday, the first time in the men's World Cup that all five lugers from one nation finished ahead of the field.
Loch, who is the defending World Cup champion, set a track record in his first run and was fastest in the second to finish in an aggregate time of 1 minute, 40.229 seconds for his 11th career win.
David Moeller was 0.307 back in second, and Johannes Ludwig took third.
On Saturday, Germany also dominated the women's and the men's doubles races by earning 1-2 finishes in both events. The Germans wrapped up their unbeaten weekend by winning the team relay competition later Sunday.
LAKE LOUISE, Alberta (AP) -- Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway won a super-G Sunday, completing a sweep at Lake Louise.
Svindal also won Saturday's downhill, making him the first man to win both events at Lake Louise since Bode Miller in 2004.
Svindal was timed in 1 minute, 34.96 seconds, beating runner-up Adrien Theaux of France by 0.85 seconds. Joachim Puchner of Austria was third in 1:35.86, and Ted Ligety of the U.S. was fourth in 1:35.87.
LILLEHAMMER, Norway (AP) -- Magnus Moan of Norway won his second Nordic Combined World Cup event of the weekend Sunday for his 20th career victory.
Moan, who earned his first win in almost two years at Saturday's season-opening event, was sixth after the ski jumping discipline but convincingly won the 10-kilometer penalty race to finish in 26 minutes, 54.4 seconds.
Fellow Norwegian Haavard Klemetsen had the best jump but lost time to Moan in the cross-country portion and was 5.0 seconds back in second place.
Eric Frenzel of Germany came in third.
Moan leads the standings with 200 points, 70 ahead of Klemetsen and Lamy Chappuis, who are tied for second.
OSTERSUND, Sweden (AP) -- Russia won the season-opening event of the biathlon World Cup on Sunday with a dominating performance in a mixed relay.
The biathlon season normally opens with an individual race, but organizers this year decided to kick off with the mixed event, which features two women and two men on each team.
Russia trailed Norway by 10.5 seconds after the first leg, but the team's second skier, Olga Vlukhina, gave Alexey Volkov a 21-second advantage heading into the third leg.
The team went on to win with a total time of 1 hour, 12 minutes, 41.3 seconds, beating Norway by 21.2 seconds. The Czech Republic took third, 36.4 seconds behind.
LILLEHAMMER, Norway (AP) -- Austria's Gregor Schlierenzauer earned the 41st ski jump World Cup victory of his career by a slim margin Sunday.
Schlierenzauer jumped 141 meters in the first round and followed it up with a 137-meter effort in the second, which was just enough to hold off second-place finisher Anders Fannemel of Norway.
Schlierenzauer finished with 275.5 points to 275.4 for Fannemel, who had the day's second best jump of 140 meters.
It was the first podium finish of Fannemel's career.
Thomas Morgenstern of Austria came in third with 269.4 points, while the winner of Saturday's event, Germany's Severin Freund, finished in 16th because of a bad first jump.
GALLIVARE, Sweden (AP) -- Norway won both the men's and women's relay competitions at the season-opening World Cup cross-country meet Sunday.
The men's team of Eldar Roenning, Martin Johnsrud Sundby, Sjur Roethe and Petter Northug finished the 4x7.5-kilometer race in 1 hour, 1 minute, 59.3 seconds to beat Sweden by 6.4 seconds. Russia was third.
Vibeke Skofterud, Therese Johaug, Martine Ek Hagen and Marit Bjoergen led the 4x5K women's race throughout before finishing in 45 minutes, 32.2 seconds.
Sweden took second, 19.4 seconds behind, and the United States was 28.2 back in third.
The cross-country World Cup continues in Kuusamo, Finland, next weekend.
KOLOMNA, Russia (AP) -- Koen Verweij earned his first career World Cup individual victory Sunday by winning the men's 1,500-meter race, while fellow Dutchman Jorit Bergsma won the men's mass start.
Former Olympic champion Claudia Pechstein of Germany won the women's 3,000 meters.
Verweij finished in 1 minute, 45.56 seconds, edging Bart Swings of Belgium by 0.21 seconds.
Brian Hansen of the United States was another 0.14 seconds behind for third.
Verweij was a member of the Dutch team that won the world championships title and two World Cup races in the men's team pursuit last season.
Maurice Vriend of the Netherlands, who won the season-opening 1,500 in Heerenveen, Netherlands, last weekend, leads the discipline standings with 145 points.
Bergsma posted a time of 10:00.07 to finish ahead of two French skaters, Ewen Fernendez and Alexis Contin.
After two of three mass start races this season, Bergsma leads the discipline standings with 145 points. Contin is five points behind in second.
Pechstein won in 4:02.31 and edged reigning world 3,000-meter champion Martina Sablikova of the Czech Republic by 0.15 seconds for her second World Cup victory this year since a two-year ban for suspected blood doping.
Marije Joling of the Netherlands came in third.
Stephanie Beckert of Germany, who won in Heerenveen, leads the discipline standings with 160 points.

This weeks quote is from George Bernard Shaw
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
Beautiful and on target. There are too many people that are willing to let life happen to them, then complain that "Life is hard" instead of living life on your own terms. What do I mean by "living life on your own terms". Many people hear this and think I mean you need to be a multimillionaire, jet setting all over the planet. (While this wouldn't be a bad gig if you could get it) It means follow your bliss. Find that one thing that makes you happy and follow it. Personally, I like writing (as evidenced by the fact you are now reading it.) I know I am not a great writer, but I enjoy sharing my opinions with the world. If someone agrees with me that's cool, but if they don't that's cool too. The point is in writing these blog posts I am making myself happy. It doesn't cost me a dime. But I am doing what makes me happy.
When was the last time you did something just because it made you feel good? (Get you mind out of the gutter. You know that's not what I meant). I mean something like taking a day and taking a bunch of pictures, shooting video of an interesting location or subject or breaking out the paints and creating a picture. Don't allow anyone but yourself define you. Because when you let someone else control the narrative you are subject to the definition of you they have in their mind of what you should be or how you should act.
As always, leave your thoughts in the comments.

Yes, I believe that homosexuality is accepted throughout the developed world. With the United States Supreme court allowing marriage equality I feel like the tide has turned to acceptance. While there may be individuals who continue to discriminate, I feel like the majority of people are accepting. I think that a member of the British Royal family coming out gives courage to other LGBTQ people and builds support and acceptance.
I'm sorry, but why is this news? Has he killed/maimed raped someone? No. He's gay. Big deal. If homosexuality is normal, why do papers make such a fuss when someone comes out? They have to join the rest of society and realise that there's nothing newsworthy in such a circumstance. Unless it's someone who has used their sexuality to manipulate others. Then we want to hear about it
Coming out as gay might have been novel in the 1980s, but it's not anymore. There are so many new things that people do today that are so much more controversial than that. People don't judge gay people often anymore, and civil rights protect their access to marriage and housing. It's no longer a taboo.
Just because a high ranking official comes out as gay does not mean that homosexuality is fully accepted across the board. There have been some major changes that have helped that acceptance but there is still a lot of animosity directed towards the gays that needs to be eradicated. Gays just want to love how they want and there is nothing wrong with that as long as two consenting adults are together.

Southwest Airlines is widely touted as the best run company in an industry that is suffering the effects of both the Sept. 11 attacks and management missteps at some carriers.
Richard Sweet, Southwest Airlines exec director-sales and marketing, says in the second in a series of Executive Outlooks that 2003 will be another tough year for the troubled aviation industry.
BtoB: How do you expect the economy to affect your business in 2003?
Sweet: Well, unfortunately, we're anticipating another tough year. If fact, from a budgeting standpoint, we're budgeting ourselves pretty much flat year over year.
[2002] was a very tough environment, even for a cost-conscious company like us. We're anticipating it being a relatively lean and tough year. But we're going to continue to grow. We're continuing to take on 17 new airplanes [in 2003]. There will be six retirements [of airplanes]. So we're continuing in a growth mode. It's a little bit less than we normally do.
We also will be adding service to existing cities.
We don't plan on opening any new cities. We try to grow the market rather than to steal market share.
BtoB: How do you expect the economy to affect your marketing and advertising in 2003?
Sweet: In the broadest sense [of marketing], we're going to continue to stimulate the business traveler. We've got the $299 cap out there for all of our flights, including walk-up traffic.
From a micro standpoint, we're going to focus on our meeting and convention product. We've taken that product and made it ticketless. And we'll be doing a bit more trade advertising and give it more support from a field sales standpoint.
We offer, like most airlines, discounts for meetings and conventions, and it's based on 25 people or more going to the convention. In the past that had been a product we could only handle with paper tickets.
We'll also be promoting SWAbiz.com, our online booking tool.
BtoB: Do you plan to target United or US Airways with any marketing programs?
Sweet: No, our advertising won't be affected. There may be pockets of opportunities that will be evaluated as they come up, but generally we don't have knee-jerk reactions.
BtoB: What is the most important element of your marketing program?
Sweet: That's a tough one, because they're all important in their own sense. But I think because we anticipate that demand is just not going to come back to the level it was before that our advertising in broadcast media, in addition to our loyalty Rapid Rewards program, is the most important. That's because it's the broadest.

Shenzhen, the capital of Guandong, China's manufacturing region, where the sun is never really able to break through the smog.
(This has been reposted from Kickstarter)
Manufacturing in China
Prototyping is like cooking, manufacturing is like baking. When you cook, you can adjust while you work. You taste, add more pepper maybe, a squeeze of lemon, you taste again, add a splash of cream, a pinch of salt. You keep adjusting until it goes on the table. Baking is different, you mix all the ingredients, put it in the oven and pray for the best. It if fails, you got to start over from the beginning.
Manufacturing a relatively complex piece of electronics like the Kick, takes hundreds of different parts from different manufacturers. Some parts needs to be handled in a particular way, stored at a certain humidity, soldered in a certain way. When the assembled unit literally comes out of the reflow oven, it has to be tested properly to make sure everything if put together the right way and is working properly. The WiFi, the internal sensors, the charger, the battery, the LEDs, the buttons etc, etc. everything has to be tested on every device. There is literally a thousand small things that can go wrong and a lot of nail biting and obsessing over details. Designing the test jig and building an automated test procedure can sometimes be as much work as building the product in the first place.
I was in China last week to work with the factory who makes the plastic parts, and to visit potential manufacturers for the electronics. There is a lot of manufacturers in Guandong. From the really large ones like Foxconn and Flextronics who focus on customers who need massive volume. Then there is the tier below who are very professional, but who sometimes are able and willing to work with smaller customers as well. Then there is the smaller factories. The smaller the factory, the lower the price, but the more oversight they need. There are factories where workers walk around in spacesuits making little marks on notepads, and there are factories that are almost like sweatshops. Hot, smelly and poorly lit. The poor reputation that Chinese factories have is to a large degree based on poor conditions in the smaller factories.
This is the end of the production line for the printed circuit board assembly. The long chamber in the foreground is the reflow oven where the components are soldered. At the far end is the stencil printer and the pick'n place machine, the robot that places the components on the printed circuit board.
I want to mention the fantastic help from several people like Chris Gammel, Bunnie Huang, Adam Scheuring, Billy and William from Dragon Innovation and of course Jenny Odegard. They helped locating the right kind of manufacturers, sent introductions and with visiting the factory sites.
It is critical to use a larger mainstream factory that have a reputation to uphold and an established customer base. The trick is to find someone who are still hungry, and flexible enough to take on smaller production runs. I think we found the right electronics manufacturer and that feels really good after our initial false start to manufacture the electronics.
Translation of the flowery language used by Chinese factories can be unintentionally funny. Instead of "To create the greatest value for customers and stuff", why not "To create great value for customers and shit". That would be my kind of people.
Two of the five molds used to make the Kick enclosure, ready for transport to the big injection molding machines.
I visited James at HiTop who makes the molds and the plastic parts. The molds are done and we worked on the T1 shots. The parts looks good for the most part, but there is a few adjustments we need to make.
As you can see in the above pictures, gaps appear when you squeeze the case. We are adding some features to the case to better keep it tight. Please note: The case above is a test-shot without any surface finish. The final parts will be polished and wet-etched to give them a fine-textured matte finish.
Molds are seldom perfect on the first try. I hope we are able to sort all remaining problems for T2. If not, there will be a T3. I was probably a little disheartened when I realized we could not fix the issues with tweaks or by adjusting the plastics mix. We need to design in additional features for the parts. James tried to lighten me up by sharing war stories about working with automotive manufacturers who sometimes were at T50 or T60 before they got it right.
The design changes has been done, but we're holding back on implementing changes as long as we can in in case other issues appear during beta testing. The shipping date is still dependent on the delivery of the pesky batteries.
iPhone everywhere
China is totally preoccupied with the iPhone to a degree I haven't seen anywhere. The Apple logo and iPhone 5 posters and images are everywhere you go. Even in the hotel toilet stall
Beta update
The first pre-production/beta units have been assembled and are about ready to go out to the beta testers. We have way more people offering to test than we have pre-production units, so we can't accept more testers.

Other than monitoring radiation levels in the capital amid the failures at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government said Wednesday it had no plans to prepare any radiological countermeasures, such as reserving iodine pills to deal with internal exposure to radioactive substances.
The government instead called for residents to go about their daily lives in a normal manner because only a small amount of radiation, harmless to humans, was detected.
"This (radiation levels detected in Tokyo) has already fallen," Gov. Shintaro Ishihara said at a news conference. "For now, the usual and normal situation continues."
At a facility in Setagaya Ward, a "small amount" of substances generated by a nuclear reaction, iodine and cesium, were detected by 11 a.m. Wednesday.
Meanwhile, at a facility in Shinjuku Ward, a maximum of 0.458 microsievert per hour was detected around 7 p.m. Tuesday, but the hourly level had dropped to 0.0575 microsievert at around 4 p.m. Wednesday.
These figures compare with the 50 microsieverts absorbed during chest X-rays, the metropolitan government said.
"Since we are still looking at the radiation levels (in the capital) and the figures have not been hazardous to health, we are not considering for now any countermeasures," official Keiichi Nakaya said. But he also urged people to continue checking for updated information.

Today I am just here to take you on a quick tour of my classroom in October.1
Missing from the above picture is one of my favorite features of this classroom... the windows!!!!! So here they are:
Next, here is a close up of my teaching area:
Missing from the above picture is one of my favorite features of this classroom... the windows!!!!! So here they are:
Next, here is a close up of my teaching area:
And then my computer is tucked back there and that is my other desk...where actually I spend a bit more time. I got that desk from Ikea because it was small and compact and just worked better than any of the school furniture options.
Zooming in a bit more... you can see that 1. the desk and my "tablecloth" don't really match. And 2. that really is just a piece of fabric that I am calling a tablecloth. And underneath are many things that I need, don't fit in a filing cabinet and are ugly to look at...so voila... a piece of fabric it is!
Scooting on over to the right, here is my library area:
For more on library organization you can see THIS post.
When I first moved into this classroom and saw the HUGE, UGLY trashcan I thought it was ridiculous....why? But it actually comes in handy because we have a ton of trash in kindergarten. Although it is on my to-do list to make it a bit less of an eye sore!
Above you see the back corner of my room. This is where volunteers and my aide work on prep. You can see my monthly tubs are under there too {usually for the current month and either the previous or future one} This is also where the kids get pulled back to do any crafts that are one on one....such as those orange clay pumpkins you can see.
I love love love love having bathrooms in my room. For a kinder teacher it just makes life a bit easier. ..sorry if you don't have them. I also love these scuba kids I got from Spring Hill Graphics {which sadly I can't seem to find her store anymore!} I just added some text and had them blown up nice and big! {And I also include this picture to show you that my book shelf isn't as neat and tidy as others... sorry, that is just how I roll}
The picture below is taken from the same spot... I just turned around 180 degrees:
The turquoise bucket is there for the kids to drop off their "briefcases' as the come on in the room each day. I talk about that more in this post.
And that, my friends, is all for today. It's been showing you around my kindergarten world.

As well as the enduring mystery of the identity of the Mona Lisa, art historians have long theorised about the painting, as well as his other works.
Italian art historian Carla Glori, claimed that the painting identifies the exact location of the landscape which provides the background of the painting.
She believes that a three-arched bridge which appears over the left shoulder of the woman is a reference to the village Bobbio, which is south of Piacenza, in northern Italy.
In October last year Giuseppe Pallanti, an expert on da Vinci, who has spent three decades studying the archives trying to establish Lisa Gherardini's final resting place, claimed that her remains were interred in a dump.
Lisa Gherardini was widely believed to be the inspiration for the painting, was buiried in the grounds of Sant-Orsola convent in 1542. But the ground were renovated in the 1980s and during work to build an underground car park, the convent's foundations were excavated and sent to a municipal landfill site on the outskirts of Florence.
In December, members of Italy's National Committee for Cultural Heritage claimed the tiny numbers and letters were painted into the eyes of the Mona Lisa.
In the right eye appeared to be the letters LV - which could stand for Leonardo Da Vinci -while in the left eye there were symbols.
Silvano Vinceti, president of the committee, said: "It is very difficult to make them out clearly but they appear to be the letters CE or it could be the letter B - you have to remember the picture is almost 500 years old so it is not as sharp and clear as when first painted.
"While in the arch of the bridge in the background the number 72 can be seen, or it could be an L and the number 2."
And in 2007, there were claims that da Vinci's The Last Supper contains a hidden image of a woman holding a child.
The figure allegedly appears when the 15th Century mural painting is superimposed with its mirror image, and both are made partially transparent.

Before & After: Vintage Metal Furniture Rescued
We have friends who are wild about vintage metal furniture. They have a few pieces in the garden and seem to always have an eye out for more at garage sales, flea markets and the like. Our friends are fine with some age showing on the pieces and just leave them and love them in their as-is state BUT we recently found a site that shows that they do like mighty fine when refurbished...
This chair before and after is just one example that we saw on Mulberry Street, a site that deals in vintage metal furniture that they "rescue" through restoration.
From Mulberry Street about these particular chair: It was produced by Arvin Industries in the 1940's or 50's. The scale of this chair is smaller than some from this period. The simple geometric pattern on the back and seat reminds me of Art Deco designs. The photographs say everything there is to say about the beauty of this saucy rocker. It's fun just to look at! We have 3 identical chairs available, priced per chair.The color is Sherwin Williams 6607 Red Tomato.

Seizure Response Dogs
What is a seizure dog?
A seizure dog is a dog that has been trained (or has learned) to respond to a seizure in someone who has epilepsy.
Is "seizure dog" the official name?
It is the name that is most often used. There are two types of dogs: 1) dogs that respond to someone who is having a seizure, called "seizure response dog" and 2) dogs that appear to naturally know when a seizure is going to occur "seizure predicting dog" or "seizure alert dog".
What do seizure dogs do?
A response dog might be trained to bark when a child has a seizure so that family members know what is happening. Or, a seizure dog may put its body in between the seizing individual and the floor to break the fall at the inception of a seizure. Some seizure dogs may even be trained to activate some kind of pre-programmed device such as a pedal that rings an alarm.
How can someone get a seizure dog?
It depends what your goals are. If you are looking for a seizure response dog, you can discuss what you want the dog to do and work out a plan with a local professional dog trainer.
However, getting a dog with the special skill of recognizing seizures in advance is another matter. Any claims by trainers that they can produce this type of behavior in a dog should be looked at very carefully, especially when the training is expensive. While some people report success, others have been disappointed. More research is needed to better understand what dogs can and cannot do, whether there are differences between breeds, and how best to develop this unique skill.
Can I train my own dog?
If you believe your dog has the disposition to act as a seizure response dog, you may certainly take your pet to a professional trainer to teach them specific things you would like to have them do in the event of a seizure.
Can I have my own dog certified?
If you have your dog professionally trained, some trainers offer a certificate. Any claims that certification can be purchased, especially through a web site, are generally known in the dog training community as "gimmicks". There is no need for certification of your service dog. With no knowledge of your dog, these companies generally print out a form which is not required for public use. You might choose to purchase a vest to make others aware, but they are not necessary.
How do I purchase a trained seizure dog?
More than likely, you will not need to purchase one. There are many organizations who are 501 c 3 non-profits whose sole purpose is to provide trained service dogs to those in need at no cost. They receive grants and donations to provide this service. Availability of trained dogs will vary from one organization to the next, and some place dogs based on urgency. Waiting lists can be years long, but it is always smart to complete the application process to "get the ball rolling".
What can a public establishment ask about my dog?
1. Is this a service dog necessary for a disability?
2. What is an example of a task the dog does to mitigate the disability?
What is my role in taking my seizure dog in public?
By law, any public establishment may ask you to either control a dog's behavior or leave the premises. A service dog must be under control at all times, and must not cause a disturbance. Be careful to insure that your seizure dog is fully trained and well-behaved before introducing it to public property or transportation.
What is a Landlord's role if a tenant states they have a service animal?
- If the individual has a dog, with a harness, and appears to be blind or deaf, it is not proper to ask questions about any disability and the person should be treated as if there was no dog there. The animal is still required to be properly vaccinated and the owner is required to obey all leash laws. If the animal later becomes unruly or a threat to health and safety, the animal can be removed and reimbursement for damages can be sought.
- If the individual appears blind or deaf, and has a miniature horse, the animal can be refused if the rental house cannot reasonably accommodate the animal.
- If the individual has no apparent disability but has an animal, it can be inquired what kind of services the animal provides. It is also proper to inquire as to the person's disability, and if the animal has training.[60] Documentation from the person's health care provider can be requested. If there is no response to reasonable requests, then an accommodation is generally not necessary.[61] On the other hand, attempts to stonewall or purposely frustrate the applicant in an attempt to make her go away can constitute violation of federal law.[62] Training requirements and proof of training are the gray areas of this debate, so this decision should be made with care. It is also advisable to issue a temporary waiver while a court determination is sought as to whether the accommodation is proper.[63] If the animal is obviously a pet and the person says that the animal has no special training but helps them cope with an ailment, it is probably safe in Tennessee to require a pet deposit or refuse to allow the pet in a rental unit.

What is the tenant's role when seeking to bring a service animal into a rental?
- Enroll the animal into some sort of formal training and get documentation.
- Obtain some sort of specialized training to deal with a documented affliction. This specialized training may not be as formal or as in depth as the formal training. For instance, self-training the animal to circle the owner to keep her at some distance from others can be specialized training.[64] On the other hand, anecdotes about how the animal assists the owner will not suffice.
- Obtain a letter from a doctor identifying the specific disability or affliction and specific ways a therapy animal will help.
- When renting, offer that the animal is a therapy animal, as opposed to just a pet, and offer whatever documentation is available.
- If the landlord still requires a deposit, there may be a claim under the Fair Housing Act.

Sure, there are 8 million stories in the Naked City. But there are hardly any in Lazy Lake -- and that`s just the way the 32 residents of Broward County`s smallest city want it.
These residents want Lazy Lake to remain something of a secret. So far, they`ve been fairly successful, mainly because their 13 acres are surrounded by Wilton Manors and camouflaged by ficus trees.
But there it sits, squeezed between Andrews Avenue, Northeast 21st Court, Northeast First Avenue and Northeast 24th Street.
The wilderness is disturbed only by the walls and fences that protect 13 houses -- one per acre. Most of the houses are along Lazy Lake, the lone road within the community. Others front on Northeast 24th Street, the village`s northern boundary.
The back yards of these houses lead to the village`s namesake, which is shaped like the numeral 7. The water is clear enough to see turtles and schools of fish, while ducks float atop.
``It`s an oasis,`` Mayor David Rushlow said. ``It`s not paved over. Lots of trees, lots of raccoons, lots of opossums . . . It`s like a little sanctuary, really, right in the middle of the city.``
Zola Keller, whose husband Ave is president of the Village Council, said the country in the city atmosphere is the key. ``You`re 10 minutes from everything and yet it`s real quiet,`` she said.
Not bad for a former rock pit. But after enough limestone was skimmed away to build roads in the 1920s and 1930s, someone decided to dig the pit a little deeper. When you do that in South Florida you create a lake.
The lake was a swimming hole when, in 1946, three men decided to start a community. Charles Lindfors was the financer who owned the land; Clinton Gamble, the architect who designed the houses; and Hal Ratliff, the contractor who built them.

Justin Bieber was attacked by a male fan during his concert in Dubai on Sunday. The rogue Belieber hastily walked up on stage as Bieber was deep into a song at the piano. The fan appears to try and give Bieber a giant bear hug from behind, but doesn't get to squeeze the Biebs tight before security swarms the stage, toppling the baby grand piano over in their pursuit.
Bieber was able to free himself and finish the song. He returned to the stage for an encore that included "Boyfriend" and the finale "Baby." Watch the mayhem below.

Assistive Technology to Enhance Inclusive Education
Dianne Chambers
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Education. Please check back later for the full article.
Schools, teachers, and students are increasingly able to access and apply assistive technology to enhance inclusion within mainstream classrooms. The assistive technology may take the form of simple, easy-to-use, low-tech devices, or they may encompass more sophisticated, highly complicated devices that require training and greater levels of support to manage. To ensure that a classroom is truly inclusive, the teacher and other professionals involved in supporting children with disabilities and using assistive technology require appropriate knowledge and skills to bring potential to reality. The knowledge concerning what is available in the field of assistive technology is merely the starting point. Inclusive educators also require expertise in selecting devices and services, including the student in decision making, implementing the assistive technology within an inclusive setting, and assessing the effectiveness of the assistive technology to meet the needs of the student and the classroom.
There are many successful examples of assistive technology being successfully embedded into the practices of inclusive settings, but there is still some way to go to ensure this is a seamless approach and one that is universally informed by practice. While legislation can go some way toward mandating the use of assistive technology, teachers and schools are really at the forefront of implementation. There are many benefits and difficulties associated with adopting assistive technology to support students with disabilities, particularly in developing countries. While the challenges may be great, the potential for assistive technology to impact significantly on the educational, social, and recreational outcomes for students with disabilities in inclusive classrooms is immense.
Youth and Media Culture
Stuart R. Poyntz and Jennesia Pedri
Media in the 21st century are changing when, where, what, and how young people learn. Some educators, youth researchers, and parents lament this reality; but youth, media culture, and learning nevertheless remain entangled in a rich set of relationships today. These relationships and the anxieties they produce are not new; they echo worries about the consequences of young people's media attachments that have been around for decades.
These anxieties first appeared in response to the fear that violence, vulgarity, and sexual desire in early popular culture was thought to pose to culture. Others, however, believed that media could be repurposed to have a broader educational impact. This sentiment crept into educational discourses throughout the 1960s in a way that would shift thinking about youth, media culture, and education. For example, it shaped the development of television shows such as Sesame Street as a kind of learning portal. In addition to the idea that youth can learn from the media, educators and activists have also turned to media education as a more direct intervention. Media education addresses how various media operate in and through particular institutions, technologies, texts, and audiences in an effort to affect how young people learn and engage with media culture. These developments have been enhanced by a growing interest in a broad project of literacy. By the 1990s and 2000s, media production became a common feature in media education practices because it was thought to enable young people to learn by doing, rather than just by analyzing or reading texts. This was enabled by the emergence of new digital media technologies that prioritize user participation.
As we have come to read and write media differently in a digital era, however, a new set of problems have arisen that affect how media cultures are understood in relation to learning. Among these issues is how a participatory turn in media culture allows others, including corporations, governments, and predatory individuals, to monitor, survey, coordinate, and guide our activities as never before. Critical media literacy education addresses this context and continues to provide a framework to address the future of youth, media culture and learning.

C.A. Buchanan is an outstanding businessman who early in his career proved himself such an able manager that he played a key role in the development of a major retailing outlet company in the Southwest. His enthusiasm and his vision had led to his directing the development of new shopping centers for TG&Y.
At the peak of his business career in 1962, Buchanan was named an Oklahoma Christian trustee. For the next 15 years, he was actively involved in helping the university strengthen its financial position by making investments in lands and properties that were developed as commercial centers. In addition to that special guidance, he served as a strong voice encouraging the dynamic expansion of the university. A man of peace and a source of constant encouragement, Buchanan stressed the importance of close harmony between the trustees and the administration so the university could grow and develop while still remaining close to its church foundations.
He continued to be a strong advocate for sound economic decision-making on the part of the university. His many years on the executive committee of the board gave him a role of influence that led to major expansion and the building of many key facilities on the campus. He was mentor and friend to two presidents as well as many teachers and staff members at Oklahoma Christian.

Boss Neil Redearn is delighted by the loan arrival of Luke Hyam but says the highly-rated midfield man will have to "earn a shirt" with Rotherham United
The 24-year-old has agreed a deal with the Millers until January and trained with his new teammates for the first time this morning.
Hyam has played 111 times for fellow Championship outfit Ipswich Town but needs game-time after a 10-month spell out injured.
"We are very fortunate to take Luke," Redfearn said. "He is highly regarded by Ipswich Town.
"He knows he needs to earn a shirt. But he is a very talented boy who comes with good Championship experience.
"I had a good chat with their manager, Mick McCarthy, about him. They don't want to let him go, but he needs first-team exposure. He adds another dimension to us and also competition for places."
Hyam will increase the Millers' options as they prepare to face Bristol City at home on Saturday, having moved off the foot of the table with victory at Leeds United last Saturday.
"He can play one or two positions," Redfearn added. "He can sit, he can play and get box to box. He is competitive and where we are at the moment we are scrapping for every point. He's a good fit for us."

Ambler Man Faces Attempted Murder Charges for Shooting at VPO
An Ambler man faces attempted murder charges after Alaska State Troopers say he tried to shoot a village police officer through the front door of his home.
According to a dispatch from Troopers, 34-year-old Harry Morena was "intoxicated and belligerent" using a VHF radio in the northwest community of about 260 people around 6 a.m. Saturday.
Ambler Village Police Officer Jeffery Melton told Troopers he heard Morena yelling "one shot one kill, one shot one kill" over the radio. Melton said he went to Morena's home to check on his elderly mother, and after knocking on the door, Melton said he heard Morena yell "one shot, one kill" before shooting through the side of the house and into the door.
The VPO was uninjured and backed away, but court documents show the bullet—from Morena's Winchester 30-30 rifle—"passed within inches of hitting Melton and embedded into the metal clad exterior door."
Troopers say Morena shot at least two more times though the door and walls of his home, and several more times through the open door. Troopers later found 14 spent shell casings at the scene.
Court records state Morena also left the house and walking around the building and onto Brooks Street, where he fire "at least one more shot" into the air.
A concerned friend then contacted Morena through the VHF, and officers investigating the shooting said the friend asked to meet with Morena but only if he promised not to shoot him. Morena allegedly told the friend he only wanted to "kill the cop."
The friend met Morena in the street and convinced him to surrender his weapon. Morena was arrested, and when Troopers arrived to investigate Saturday around 1:15 p.m., a search warrant for his home later found evidence of a homebrew alcohol operation.
Troopers say Morena's deaf and blind mother was also found in the home, seemingly oblivious to the gunfire Troopers said unfolded around her. No one was injured in the incident, according to Troopers.
Morena was taken to the Kotzebue regional jail. He faces charges of second-degree attempted murder, two charges of second-degree assault, and several charges related to homebrewing alcohol.

Singers of kallisti in works of Italian Modernists, UC San Diego
Co-curated by Susan Narucki and Jonathan Hepfer, the program is an exploration of evocative works by the Italian modernists Luigi Dallapiccola, Niccolò Castiglioni and Aldo Clementi. All of the composers have one foot firmly planted in the 20th century and one in the Renaissance. The pieces, presented seamlessly, combine rigor and lyricism, chaos and elegance, complexity and simplicity, the current and the eternal. Featuring soloists of the vocal ensemble kallisti, the program will also include a new work by Kyle Rowan, commissioned as a companion piece to Dallapiccola's masterwork, Piccola Musica Notturna ('A Little Night Music'). Vocal chamber works include Dallapiccola's Divertimento in Quattro Esercizi (1934), Niccolo Castiglioni's Terzina, Auf der Suche nach einem Frischen Wind and Cantus Planus, as well as Aldo Clementi's Madrigale for piano four hands.

kallisti: Sino alla morte, Experimental Theater at Conrad Prebys Music Center, UC San Diego
A "constructed opera" the hour-long fully staged production juxtaposes music by two Italian composers: Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677) and Salvatore Sciarrino (1947-). Although separated by hundreds of years, each has written vocal music of profound expressivity and intense beauty.
Sciarrino's rarely performed vocal sextet "Le donne di Trachis" (1980) is the cornerstone of the evening. Written for unaccompanied female voices, it draws inspiration from Sophocles' tragic The Women of Trachis. The central mystery of The Women of Trachis lies with Deianeira, the wife of Heracles. Abandoned by her unfaithful husband, she turns to sorcery in desperation, presenting him with a robe whose lining is dyed with a potion that she believes will rekindle his love. But Deianeria is deceived. The robe brings only destruction, and leaves her with a doubly inflicted pain, that of her husband's infidelity coupled with his death, an unintended consequence of her anguish.
Sino alla morte will delve into the complicated psychology of love and desire through exquisite vocal music of the Baroque and Modern eras. Join us for an opportunity to hear the human voice in all its power and richness.
kallisti draws its singers from the graduate program in Contemporary Music Performance at UC San Diego and distinguished guest artists. UCSD Professor of Music Susan Narucki directs the production, with guest music director Stephen Lewis.

Everything is enigma in Shakespeare, game of masks and identities, crossed roles on stage, echoes of other voices and authorships, real fictions and fictional chronicles about the author in his escapades of wandering comedian. Could he be different describing the alchemy of love, exploring the peaks and depths of passion? The most intimate Shakespeare is presented to us in his one hundred and fifty-four legendary sonnets. Metaphysics of eternal love, as Agustín García Calvo, one of his major Spanish translators, would say: because "passion and grace invade these sonnets with so much truth and life".
Nine of those poems will transit to the sonic discourse of some of the most relevant Mexican composers of the recent generations. A FIC production in collaboration with FONCA (National Endowment for Culture and Arts) that will feature celebrated performers: Susan Narucki (soprano) and Randall Scarlata (baritone), two of the greatest voices of contemporary concert music, accompanied by Ensamble Redes, formed by teachers of the Cervantine Academy.

|Long-suffering Secret Service agent Cage is nearing the end of his three-year assignment to crotchety widowed First Lady MacLaine when the Prez extends his tour of duty. Feels like a TV movie, not surprising since writers Torokvei and Wilson have several sitcoms to their credit, including "WKRP in Cinncinnati." Nice chemistry between Cage and MacLaine results in a few funny moments, but there are too many formulaic plot twists. End result: a pleasant, if somewhat slow buddy comedy.

Organisations realise that to succeed in today's competitive market it is necessary to sustain and maintain a good reputation both online and offline.
A good reputation builds confidence and grows sales; which ultimately leads to better revenues and higher profitability. A good reputation is also an effective entry barrier to most competitors. In today's Internet era erroneous & malicious gossip, rumours, unfair opinions and other bad news can spread fast- globally! Negative news can easily compound problems and if not tackled in a timely manner, the damage can be irrevocable.
Thanks to the growing popularity of consumer generated media sites (blogs, forum, message boards) general public can quickly receive the latest news and express their views which could make or break a brand. Today's Internet savvy consumer trusts opinions published online on these sites and also base their purchase decisions on these reviews. For example, online shopping sites have benefited by publishing real customer feedback and product ratings to boost sales and build trust. Similarly, employees, and brand evangelists can easily leverage their personal expertise to enrich online reputation management by beginning useful discussion threads and enlisting support of the online community to any new product/service launch They can then use the same media to gauge customer feedback to effect changes as desired by the vast majority of users. Online reputation management can also effectively used to repair any brand damage due to some unforeseen events.
Online Reputation Management
Online reputation management uses integrated marketing approach leveraging branding, public relations and effective search engine marketing. High search engine rankings and greater visibility are essential for good publicity as they tend to push any bad publicity published on the web further down the search web page listings and even out of public view. The objective of Internet based Reputation Management is to build goodwill while ensuring higher rankings & indexing in top search engines for all high priority web assets like corporate websites and product/service blogs / microsites / landing pages.
Corporate communication functionaries regularly monitor and feed online media channels with positive information to promote brands, manage consumer opinion and boost conversion rates of ongoing sales initiatives. These online communication assets consist of:
- Forums, Blogs, Opinion Sites, Discussion boards
- Social Network Sites
- Consumer Complaint Sites
- Counter-intelligence
- Competitor Attacks
- Trademark Infringement
- Counterfeit Products
- Crisis Management Developments
Coordinated and consistent online reputation efforts enhance overall positive web presence, which leads to top spots in search engine rankings for brand(s). Online reputation management thus enables corporate to protect & manage their reputation by actively contributing to the outcome of search engine results. Successful online reputation management needs persistence as it is you may not succeed initially and you may need to try, and try again! Reputation management requires non-stop monitoring and taking well planned and coordinated action with a dogged determination to succeed.
Online Reputation Feeds Search Engine Marketing
Online reputation management efforts enable you to effectively manage your search engine space. As part of ongoing online reputation management, the search engine plan calls for regular monitoring of:
- Organic positions
- Pay-Per-Click tracking of your branded terms
- Snapshots of top ten search engine results
- News of your brand/activities
- News about competitors' brands
- Consumer generated media activity (blog/forum/social networking site posts)
Successful online reputation management strategy also requires immediate or quick response to capitalise on emerging issues and opportunities. Points to keep in mind while undertaking an online reputation campaign are:
* Investigate facts thoroughly, often taking expert opinion, before taking action – is this a competitor spreading rumors?
- Do take the high ground
- Be truthful!
- Explain activities undertaken to rectify any issue
- Offer to resolve complaints using a senior-level staff member and if needed continue discussions offline too
- Rally clients, experts, opinion leaders, friends, peers and utilise all your allies/partners
- Never create new "personas" to support your position in web posts as you can be easily caught and create undue embarrassment for yourself/corporate.
In the year 2008, the consumer has more information available to them than ever before, so monitoring and controlling the information published about your company is an important strategy for all organisations.

Approaching Dineh's Minimalist Web Presence!
Though I'm
a great believer in the power of information and the value of information
exchange, I also believe that not all technology is appropriate for every
Though I'm a great believer in the power of information and the value of information exchange, I also believe that not all technology is appropriate for every useor for every one. In my case at the moment, my virtual self exists in this space only to inform you - minimally - of the type of academic work I do (or have done in the past) and the knowledge areas I facilitate. If you are interested in receiving additional information on my courses or research areas, please feel free to contact me via phone, e-mail, or my mailing address. Though I may be expanding my Web presence as time goes by, I'm unlikely to ever be as informative here as I am rumored to be in real life! And though past performance is no indication of future behavior, this website has existed minimally since 1995 when it was produced.
Dineh Davis, Ph.D.
Presently, I'm an associate professor in the School of Communications at the University of Hawaii, Manoa campus. Since moving to Hawaii in 1988, I have held a variety of positions in the public sector. For example, I served as a consultant and research associate for the University of Hawaii, West Oahu to propose both instructional and infrastructure guidelines for its then-proposed four-year campus [and am delighted that the newest version of the plans are at last about to see the light of day!] I also served as trainer, producer, and director for Hawaii Public Broadcasting Authority's Interactive Television System (HITS) - now a part of the UH System. I have also served a five-year term as Commissioner for the City & County of Honolulu on the Committee on the Status of Women and served as the Chair for its Media Task Force and coordinated the production and distribution of several publications for the City and County. At the State level I conducted research for the Legislature on the use and safety of cellular telephones and their effect on O'ahu's traffic in the early 1990s.
At UHM I have served as both the Chair of the Graduate Program and the Undergraduate Program in Communication; as well, I have served a three-year term in the Graduate Council, and participated in various interdisciplinary academic committees in the College of Social Sciences.
My teaching, research, and writing for the past thirty years have focused on human-computer interaction and the social and personal impact of computers and new information and communication technologies (ICTs). During my early years at UH I focused more specifically on the gendered and personal use of communication technologies; especially cellular telephones and pagers in Hawaii. I continue my interest in gendered applications of communication technologies, though I am recognizing the innate human differences related to infatuation with things-technological and my focus is shifting to a track that may or may not parallel gender differences (given the complexities of those cultures).
My cognitive preferences have also shifted with time!
|While I tend to think and act more holistically and intuitively, my HBDI profile shows no aversion to any particular type of thinking preference - I just happen to lean toward the right-brain-thinking-mode (has nothing to do with brain physiology; just a metaphoric handle!) If you are more likely to be familiar with the MBTI model, I used to be NJIT with a gradual shift and oscillation toward Feeling!
In harmony with natural shifts over time, I am now studying the non-user population and those I've classified as "perpetual novices" (based, obviously, on my own predispositions!) In this context I have been continuing to explore the illusions and ambiguities created or exacerbated by the new media and telemedia environments. As of 2004, I have also begun research on communicating creativity in various walks of life - with emphasis on research as a predominantly creative endeavor. I am currently studying the intersection of creativity and culture from a phenomenological perspective in Hawaii as well as the larger implications of the interaction of culture and creativity online and its global implications. This focus has taken me to:

Psalm 121
Your Story
Talk about a time when you were having a hard time and you received help from God. Maybe God sent someone at just the right time or something happened to help you recognize that God was at work in your life.
My Story and the Bible Story
Read Psalm 121. From the NIV: I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
I am a worrier by nature. When things go wrong, I get anxious. When things have the possibility of going wrong, I get anxious then too. So it is comforting to know that the Lord who watches over us doesn't sleep. God doesn't get tired. God doesn't get anxious. My help goes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. God is the one who can calm me down. God is the One I can always turn to no matter what. And the best part about it is that God already knows what I need. And God knows what you need as well. God is for us. God wants what is best for us. Is what's best for us always what we want? It isn't. But our help comes from God. God knows what we need before we ever say the words. And not only does our help come from God, our hope comes from God as well. During last year's Cave Quest VBS, we sang a song called "My Hope is in the Lord." You can find it here. The song says:
I can't help but feel a little down.
A little worried when I look around.
That's why my hope is in,
My hope is in the Lord.
I fix my eyes upon the God who gives,
'Cause all I need is what I have in him.
That's why my hope is in,
My hope is in the Lord.
My hope is in the Lord.
I belong to him.
He will never let me go-oh-oh-oh.
My hope is in the Lord.
I can count on him.
My hope is in the Lord.
We can trust that our help comes from the Lord. We can hope in the Lord because God will not let us down. The Lord watches over us. God is our help, our hope, and our salvation. When you are having a hard time, remember that God is there. The Lord is not sleeping and isn't playing video games. The Lord is there with you no matter what happens. God loves and cares for you and our hope is in God!
• Ask your children to talk about times when they have trusted God. What was the situation? What happened?
• Talk about ways to practice trusting in God this Lenten season. Maybe for you that means that every time you feel anxious or worried, you pray. Every time you feel scared, you pray. Every time something happens, you pray.
Thank God for never leaving us. Ask God for help in remembering that He watches over us. Praise God for being our help and our hope.

Agasumo ka Mwaro
To visit the site 'Agasumo ka Mwaro', you only have to take the national road no.18 joining the town of Gitega and the urban centre of Mwaro not far from the latter. In this natural environment, trails along the Kayokwe River lead to a series of high cascades offering a fascinating spectacle, which gave the name to this site 'Agasumo nearly means falls). It is in this isolated and secret corner that the neighboring population but also people from distant areas, come to carry on the cult of Kiranga, 'Kubandwa'. It is very common to find on the place coins, even bits of bank notes, having been used as offerings during the rituals.
Before the arrival of catholic missionaries all Burundians believed in one God 'Imana'. Today, whereas before the different religions or evangelical movements preached to their followers using the Swahili appellation 'Mungu', the word 'Imana' ended up being adopted by most of religions practiced in Burundi, for it captures well the conception of the Supreme Being instilled in the mentality of this people. 'Agasumo ka Mwaro' represents one of the high abodes of God: 'I wabo w'Imana'.
The cult of Kiranga is still practiced today in some corners of Burundi and generally in secret places, but also having in their background some mystery like 'Agasumo ka Mwaro', Karera waterfalls, 'Ibuye rya Inangurire', etc.
BURUNDIDES considers 'Agasumo ka Mwaro' as a historic place that served and still serves as the centre of worship interest for the followers of this belief that has resisted the ages. Tourists who want to meditate on the site, by formulating the wishes which will be, apparently, granted soon or later, will deposit money in the form of offerings.

Have just bought a tablet for my son for Christmas and want to put several game apps on it, ready for when he opens it. The Manual is rubbish and I am having difficulty setting up an Android account. I am not very technical minded. Do I have to synch the tablet, register it by connecting to my computer by USB first?
You want to create an account using Google services (gmail) for the owner, not for yourself. If they already have one, you need their password. If you cannot get that, give up. It is much better to install everything using the correct account.
Other items to configure include the wireless network. For that you will need the security key.
Most Android tablets are fairly simple if you have those two items. My wife still has me do this for her. That is the easiest method of all!
Merry Christmas!
