Cameron University's Department of Agriculture will host the 24th Annual Beef Cattle Improvement Conference, featuring keynote speaker Jim Whitt on Thursday, November 17. The conference will also include exhibits pertinent to the beef cattle industry. The event starts at 6 p.m. in the McCasland Ballroom of the McMahon Centennial Complex on the CU campus. There is no charge to attend. For more information, call the Cameron University Department of Agriculture at 581-2275.
Armed with a degree in animal science and a healthy dose of humor, Whitt uses his cowboy background to engage and entertain the audience. The result is a tangible demonstration of how the power of purpose empowers the human spirit and enables us to rise above our animal natures to fulfill our own unique potential.
Whitt will focus on leadership with his presentation, "Riding for the Brand: The Power of Purposeful Leadership." Whitt explains that in the old west, a brand not only identified a ranch's cattle, it was a symbol of pride and loyalty for all its cowboys - they rode for the brand. He asserts that people today want more from their work than a paycheck - they want to be partners in a cause. Like cowboys of yesteryear, they want to ride for the brand. He will address how leaders and organizations are transformed through "The Power of Purposeful Leadership."
For more than 20 years, Whitt – a self-proclaimed "people provoker" - has inspired people and organizations to reach their full potential. A native Oklahoman who grew up in the cattle business, he spent more than a decade in sales and marketing with two Fortune 500 companies. During his sales career at Ralston Purina in the High Plains region of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, Whitt was a top 20 producer in a sales force of 500; his customers included some of the largest commercial cattle feeding operations in the world. As national cattle product marketing manager with Central Soya, his product group had the largest percentage increase of all product groups in the company over two years.
The conference will include exhibits by event sponsors Phil Perryman, ABS Global, Apache; Ag Preference ACA, Altus; Apache Farmers Co-op, Apache, Elgin, Ft. Cobb, Chickasha; Co-op Services Inc./Nutrena, Lawton. Chattanooga, Grandfield; Comanche County Farm Bureau, Lawton; Farm Credit of Central Oklahoma, Anadarko; Farmers Co-op Association, Snyder; Frazier Meats, Indiahoma; Darren Baker, IVESCO LLC, Mt. Park; L & L Farm & Tire Supply, Chattanooga; Livestock Nutrition Center, Chickasha; Spencer Brothers Feed & Supply/Stillwater Milling, Lawton; and Stockman-Oklahoma Livestock Marketing Inc., Apache.

SupportLocal aims to amplify word-of-mouth recommendations
A Denver start-up is bringing a new twist to the time-honored tradition of word-of-mouth advertising.
SupportLocal, headquartered in Denver's Golden Triangle in the Galvanize community, was rolled out to consumers on Wednesday. Developers of the product are on a mission to change how people discover local businesses. By combining social media and local search capabilities with word-of-mouth recommendations, they've created a platform that allows users to gain local recommendations from people they know and trust.
So it's just a glorified Yelp then, right? Not exactly, said SupportLocal CEO Justin Sanger. Read more…

Failure-to-thrive is when a child is not growing as expected. It does not include children who are small for their age. Definitions of failure-to-thrive may vary.
Children grow quickly in the first few years of life. A child with failure-to-thrive will usually have a height and weight that is well below other children of their age. Your child may have also had a normal growth pattern that began to slow down. Initially, the child has similar height and weight than their peers but at follow-up appointments the child's height and weight does not keep up with their peers.
Growth is assessed at health visits by measuring height, weight, and head circumference. This information is entered into a growth chart, which makes a line or curve that follows how your child grows. Standard curve lines on the chart called percentiles show where babies fall in terms of normal growth compared to other babies at specific ages. Failure-to-thrive can occur when a child:
- Is at or below the third to fifth percentile for height and weight.
- Has failed to grow as expected. This is shown by crossing 2 percentile lines on the growth chart.
Failure-to-thrive is split into 3 different types. These types include:
- Organic—caused by some medical condition
- Nonorganic—occurs in children with no known medical condition
- Mixed—occurs when the child has features of both
Failure-to-thrive is caused by a lack of nutrition. The most common causes of lack of nutrition include:
- Inadequate food intake
- Malabsorption—inability of the intestines to properly absorb nutrients from food
- Loss of nutrients, which may occur from excessive vomiting or diarrhea
- Inability to process nutrients correctly
- Increased energy expenditure
Risk Factors
Failure-to-thrive is more common in boys. Many factors may contribute to an increased chance of developing failure-to-thrive in children, including:
Medical conditions:
- Genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis , Down Syndrome, or Turner syndrome
- Physical defects, such as cleft lip or palate which interfere with feeding
Gastrointestinal diseases, such as:
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Hirschsprung disease
- Crohn disease
- Hepatitis or cirrhosis
- Pancreatic insufficiency, which may be caused by cystic fibrosis
- Chronic or untreated urinary tract infections
- Kidney failure
- Undiagnosed food intolerance
Heart and lung diseases, such as:
- Heart failure
- Severe or uncontrolled asthma
- Congenital heart or lung defects
- Endocrine diseases, such as diabetes, or thyroid or pituitary gland disorders
- Chronic or congenital infectious diseases such as HIV or toxoplasmosis
- Fetal alcohol syndrome
- Lead poisoning
Family and social factors may include:
- Reduced availability of food
- Giving non-nutritious foods
- Withholding food
- Breastfeeding difficulties
- Depression in the parent
- Lack of knowledge about proper nutrition and typical child growth patterns
- Parent and child interaction or attachment problems
- Lack of social support for the parent(s)
- Severe family stress
- Child abuse or neglect
Failure-to-thrive may cause:
- Slowed growth in a young child, including height and weight
- Slowed development, including late rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, walking, and talking
- Small muscles
- Weakness, low energy
- Hair loss
- Loose folds of skin
- Other symptoms related to an underlying medical condition
Failure-to-thrive is diagnosed based on following a child's growth. Your child's weight, height, and head circumference will be plotted on standard growth charts. If the child falls below a certain weight range or crosses 2 lines on the growth chart, the doctor will evaluate the child further.
Based on your child's symptoms, additional tests may be ordered.
Rarely, a child must be hospitalized for a period of time to find the cause of failure-to-thrive. During this time, the doctor will:
- Monitor the relationship between parent and child, paying particular attention to their behavior around feeding
- Set up a feeding schedule with an adequate amount of calories
- Make sure that an appropriate feeding technique is used
This will also be done in an outpatient setting and often require referrals to feeding specialists.
If your child can gain weight under these circumstances and no underlying disease is found, this supports the diagnosis of nonorganic failure-to-thrive.
Treatment will depend on what is causing a child's failure-to-thrive. Options may include:
Treating a Medical Condition
Treating the underlying medical condition may correct failure-to-thrive.
Providing Extra Calories
Children who are malnourished may need a dietary supplement. These may include nutritional drinks, milk fortifiers, and other ways to add calories to food. They help improve nutrition and boost growth.
Parent Training
When a child is hospitalized for diagnosis, the hospital staff can also provide treatment. Nurses can teach parents appropriate feeding techniques. They may also show how to best interact with their child. If the child isn't hospitalized, parents can still have training sessions with a nutritionist or a nurse.
Parents and children who are having difficulty with their relationship may benefit from counseling.
To help reduce your child's chance of developing failure-to-thrive:
- Take your children to the doctor regularly to have their growth checked. This helps detect and treat failure-to-thrive before it becomes severe.
- Develop a good relationship with your child's doctor.
- Ask the doctor about proper parenting and nutrition for early in a baby's life.

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Eco-friendly: Nelson 'village' lures<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>conservationists
ADDRESS: 19 Old Turtle Place
NEIGHBORHOOD: Nellysford
COUNTY ASSESSMENT: $60,600 (Nelson's latest is 2003 land only)
SIZE: 2,800 fin. sq. ft., 320 unfin.
LAND: 7.5 acres
CURB APPEAL: 8 out of 10
LISTED BY: Steven Braden of Montague Miller & Co., 760-2959
Irish poet William Butler Yeats was talking about someplace else when he said, "This is no country for old men," but his description applies totally to this property in Nelson County. From the steep rugged down-hill drive to a spiral staircase leading to not one but three lofts, the place is fit only for a young, energetic owner.
And a "green" energetic owner at that: the house is part of a development called "Horizons Ecovillage," a 200-acre compound near Nellysford reserved for environmentally aware residents. Of the 50 lots (of 5-10 acres each), 12 have been sold, and the houses all share a commitment to energy conservation and "green" construction.
This house, designed and built by an architect friend of the current owner, is a perfect example of what the Ecovillage developers must have had in mind. The exterior is a combination of western red cedar siding and galvanized steel. Inside, the eastern white pine timber-frame construction features insulated panels in the walls, creating maximum energy efficiency.
The open timber framing was intended to be rustic, and, to accentuate the impression of a barn, the architect designed a series of long narrow windows on three sides that admit light at slanting angles the way sunbeams filter through spaced timbers above milking parlors and hay lofts. While charming and creative, the effect, unfortunately, is more aesthetic than practical, as much of the back (north) side of the house is dark.
As compensation, large windows and six skylights (including one in a large front dormer) admit streaming light from the south-facing side of the house, which not only brings cheer to the otherwise dim space but also provides passive solar heating via polished cement floors that absorb heat to radiate at night.
Additionally, a gas-fueled radiant hot-water heating system in floors and upstairs walls (managed by a giant panel in the half basement) is part of an "Earthstar" geothermal system that also provides water from deep in the earth to cool the place in summer. To our novice's eye, it looks as though few, if any, energy-saving/conserving elements have been overlooked here.
The interior space is beautifully designed. A wide entrance hall leads to a huge, three-story "great room" whose main feature is the massive beams, all joined with wooden pegs (there are no nails in any of the framing). Wide tongue-and-groove floors in all rooms except the two full baths (which are tiled) and the cement-floored great room have been painted a fleshy salmon color. That paint choice seemed odd at first, but it grew on us as we got used to the house.
Behind the great room is an unusual sunken living room, another initially jarring element– somehow a canonical design staple of the '60s doesn't quite fit our idea of a post-and-beam ecohouse– but like the salmon floors, it came to seem more comfortable the longer we were there. Unfortunately, because it's out of view of the big windows, this space, like the kitchen on the opposite side of the big middle room, is dark, and being "sunken" only intensifies the impression of gloom.
The kitchen is functional, with the nice floors and stainless appliances. Light birch cabinets do what they can to brighten the space, but it's an uphill battle with only a tiny window over the sink. A hall with large coat closet beside the kitchen leads to a half bath.
On the second level loft are three bedrooms of roughly equal size. The one over the front door and entry hall has angled walls, adding a little interest to otherwise prosaic space. Off this bedroom is a full bath with claw-foot tub outfitted with a "shower kit," a conscious choice of the builder and owner, but one that may seem odd to new-home shoppers accustomed to every possible bathroom amenity. (There's a twin second full bath on this level for the other two bedrooms, likewise sans shower.)
Up ladders on each side of the loft are two more spaces– not technically rooms, but they're so high above the activity of the house on the main level that privacy would not be an issue if they were needed as bedrooms. Currently the owner uses one as an office and the other as a play area for children.
A deck surrounds the house on two sides and is no doubt a lovely spot for entertaining or dining or just frolicking about in good weather. Most of the acreage is in hardwoods; there's no other landscaping than what nature provides.
Membership in the "ecovillage" includes use of 100 acres of common area bordering the Rockfish River.
For a young couple or family with a care for the environment– and four-wheel drive vehicle– this could be a sweet find. But except for a few folks who want to work from home, squaring the eco-friendly aspects of life in the wilds of Nelson County with the fuel needed to motor to and from it seems to create something of a contradiction.

"It was a wonderful project but it was expensive to keep the Shuttle in order to maintain the ISS and to also start new exploration programmes. This is very sad and people will miss the Space Shuttle afterwards for many years.
"It was just beautiful, something to witness, and great achievement of humankind to build this Space Shuttle and make it fly. Even just the look of the Shuttle, with its black and white lines, and all the individually numbered heat shield tiles, it's an amazing machine."

Second-year quarterback Terrelle Pryor spoke at length Wednesday about what life is like sitting behind Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart, how he spends his time and how much progress he has made since training camp.
One thing he doesn't do is look at the rapid ascension of 49ers second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick and wonder what if?
"I don't judge myself by other people," Pryor said. "What he does is what he does. I'm just confident I could go in and make some plays as much as I can. If God gives me the blessing to do that, I look forward to it. But if not, I'll roll on. I'll be OK. I'll be back for next year."
Coach Dennis Allen said Monday that he and his coaches have "discussed" the prospect of playing Pryor in some capacity this season.
Allen said Wednesday that there's a possibility of Pryor being active Sunday against the Cleveland Browns as the No. 3 quarterback. Pryor hasn't been active for any of Oakland's first 11 games.
Pryor has little chance of playing in a game if he's the No. 3 quarterback. Yet, at some point Allen said he wants to get a look at Pryor.
"There will be a time where we've got to look at him and see what he can do," Allen said.
Especially if the Raiders have any intention of moving on from Palmer anytime in the next two seasons. Palmer is signed through 2016, Pryor is under contract through 2014.
It's on thing to see Pryor play in an exhibition game, it's quite another to see him play against, say, the Denver Broncos in a game that counts in the standings and has huge playoff implications for the Broncos.
To that end, Pryor said he has the playbook down pat and feels as if he is ready to turn it loose in a game.
"It's kind of like picking an opponent on paper," Pryor said. "You can say you've got it, but once you get on the field, you don't know if you've got it. I don't know if I do or not, but if we were to talk and you were to give me a formation for this upcoming week I'd know every single play. I'd know where everyone's at, I'd know all the responsibilities. That's on paper, that's not on the field, with four guys 300-pounds are flying at you. So, I don't know."
Pryor is confident that he has improved a great deal since training camp, when he talked at length about the need to get better with his footwork and accuracy.
"I've been doing a lot of footwork," Pryor said. "It's amazing, the accuracy that I have now. I'm able to step into my throws and throw exactly where I want the ball at, and I just keep getting better at that. As a quarterback, you never get to that level where you stop working. There's always room for improvement and that's all I'm looking for."
Palmer has mentored Pryor since the day he arrived in a trade from the Cincinnati Bengals last October. He said he realizes that Pryor is in a difficult situation. At the same time, he is impressed by the way Pryor handles himself.
"There's been zero dropoff," Palmer said of Pryor's commitment. "He's in a tough spot being the third-stringer, where you don't get a chance to dress out, but (he) studies his butt off, continues to work, gets as many reps as he can in practice, is completely in it."
-- Nos. 1 and 2 running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson returned to practice today after missing the past three games.
Allen said, "They look like they're working their way back."
Which is another way of saying, they have a ways to go before they're as sharp as they were before they suffered high-ankle sprains Nov. 4.
Allen said McFadden and Goodson took reps with the first-team offense, even though they were limited in their participation. The weather Sunday won't impact the decision whether they play against the Browns or not, Allen added.
Regardless of how well and how fast they heal, Allen said fullback Marcel Reece will continue to be a vital part of the rushing attack.
"Marcel has earned the right to carry the ball some," Allen said. "We'll still use him in that capacity, yes."
Palmer said it's a benefit to the Raiders just having Reece on the field, especially when he is in the backfield at the same time as McFadden.
"It gives you something to worry about defensively preparing for us," Palmer said. "You don't know. Marcel's been in the backfield to block when Darren's been in the games and now gives us a little more unknown, you don;t know exactly what's coming at you.
"Marcel can catch a ball out of the backfield, he can run it. Darren can block, Marcel can run it. Gives us just kind of another dimension. That's the right way to say it: earned the right. Because the way he's run and you don't expect a fullback to come in and be the starting tailback and be as good as he's been."
Reece rushed for 225 yards at an average of 4.8 yards the past three games, whereas McFadden averaged only 3.3 yards in the eight games he played before the injury.
-- Rookie wide receiver Rod Streater started the regular-season opener, in part because of injuries to Denarius Moore and Jacoby Ford. Now, he is at the point where he played only five snaps last Sunday.
Meanwhile, fellow rookie receiver Juron Criner is headed the opposite way. Criner went from not playing early on to 40 snaps against the Bengals last Sunday.
This is yet another sign of the Raiders doing the pruden thing, taking a look at younger, inexperienced players between now and the end of the season.
"It's more of a situation where we want to get a look at Juron Criner, a guy that we drafted, a young guy that we think highly of," Allen said. "He's getting more comfortable in the offense. ... There are some young guys we want to make sure we get a look at, and he's obviously one of those guys, that we drafted, we like him. We've got to let him play."
Criner said there's room for all the receivers to fill a role on the team, given their diverse talents.
"There's a lot of things that we all bring to the table that one of the others don't," Criner said. "I just add a bigger frame to the run game on the outside blocking, red-zone, coming across the middle. I'll try to be whatever you want me to be and do whatever you want me to do."
-- Allen shot down any suggestion that he took a more active role in caling the defensive plays during the Bengals game. He said the play-calling was handled the same way it has been handled all year with he and defensive coordinator Jason Tarver in concert.
-- The recent struggles of right guard Mike Brisiel haven't gone unnoticed by Allen.
Yet, Allen doesn't sound too concerned about Brisiel getting to the point where he is a reliable asset and not a sometimes liability.
"He has obviously struggled some," Allen said. "But he's working extremely hard to try to get better and he knows he needs to play better. And he takes a lot of pride in it. It's important to him. And that's important to me, to make sure, I want guys that want it to be important to him."
Brisiel said he wasn't pleased with the way he played against the Bengals.
"We did some things, me personally, that hurt ourselves," Brisiel said. "I just got to go back and work on it."
-- Palmer is 9-3 against the Browns all-time, with 25 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a 90.6 passer rating.
He said the Browns have a slew of new faces on the roster since the last time he played them -- he wasn't here last season when the Raiders beat the Browns -- but their overall approach remains the same.
"A lot has changed personnel wise and look-wise, but they always seem to be a big physical group that can still rush the passer," Palmer said. "There's a lot of teams that you play that are really big and physical and are there to stop the run and push the pocket, but they have two guys on the edge that can rush the passer. Just a good, physical group up front."

Rihanna's rebound man is Los Angeles Dodgers star Matt Kemp, according to People.
"Rihanna wants the world to know that she is happy with Matt," an insider told the magazine. The pair is on vacation at a luxury resort in Cabo San Lucas, the mag reported.
The pop star, who was dating bad boy Chris Brown a year ago, also spent New Year's with Kemp in the Middle East, where she performed in Abu Dhabi on New Year's Eve, according to HollywoodLife.com.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"Rihanna and Matt are starting to get serious," HollwoodLife.com quotes an insider as saying. "Rihanna likes him because he's such a gentleman…and super sexy!"
The pair was spotted at the Mexican resort, sharing in loving embraces and gropes by celebrity photographers.
They "couldn't keep their hands off of each other," an eyewitness told People.com, adding that the pair "kept kissing while gazing out over the ocean."
Rihanna, 21, and Kemp, 25, were introduced by friends in November and have been spending a lot of time together since, sources told People. "Rihanna wants the world to know that she is happy with Matt," People quoted an insider saying.
Kemp's agent, Dave Stewart, stopped short of confirming the relationship but hinted that the pop star and slugger have had a spark.
"They've only had a few opportunities to be together, but those times have been fun," Kemp's agent, Dave Stewart, told People.
Rihanna has not been seriously linked with anyone since she infamously broke up with Brown after an ugly incident last February where Brown admitted to beating her in a rage.

The first annual Geekie Awards was held on Sunday, August 18th at the Avalon in Hollywood where Stan Lee was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Nathan Fillion (star of the critically acclaimed Castle) received the Geek of the Year Award and Jesse Heiman accepted the award on his behalf. The night buzzed with many bright faces counting among its celebrity roster: Stan Lee, Seth Green, Jesse Heiman, Samm Levine, and others. The night was also dedicated to the many individuals who work hard off screen as producers, writers, tech engineers, and many more. The Geekie Awards is primarily geared towards those with a passion for genres like comic books, science fiction, toys, and webseries including: ElfQuest, Team Unicorn, and Podcrash. As the cameras went off, celebrities and guests mingled in a jam-packed environment filled with music and excitement. Many came elaborately dressed for the event and walked the red carpet in elaborate wigs, creative make-up, and provocative outfits befitting the event. We also witnessed a bevy of character costumes such as Princess Leia, Captain America, Wonder Woman, and there was even an R2D2 simulation that the guests were delighted to pose with. It was a roundup of great minds coming together to discuss former projects and introduce their future endeavors. We had the chance to speak with several of the talents present that night. The girls from Team Unicorn (Clare Grant, Milynn Sarley, Rileah Vanderbilt) talked to us about their web projects and their many spoofs.
It was also interesting to hear from Grant Imahara (host of Mythbusters) about what the upcoming season of the show has in store for us. We also had the chance to speak with other actors such as Stephanie Thorpe, Christopher Wolfe, Danielle Vasinova, Mindy Robinson, and Mark Christopher Lawrence (Chuck).

|Rhet 102: Race and the University, Instr. Eve Eure: This course engages issues of race, diversity and representation at the University of Illinois. Students are encouraged to think about what the university is, as well as about race and ethnicity as a phenomena within the university's narratives. The readings in the course interrogate U.S. race politics as a way to contextualize our understanding of the relationship between race and the University of Illinois. Students write both long and short essays which critically analyze the readings done both inside and outside of the classroom. This is achieved by a series of writing assignments, which prepare students to look at these various aspects of campus culture which might not otherwise be questioned and/or studied in a critical manner. Students build upon these initial studies to create a larger research project that brings them into conversation with their environment and other scholars, as well as research of previous students. The course syllabus is available at: www.eui.uiuc.edu/docs/syllabi/RHET102S08.doc [2]
|Rhet 104, Ethnography of Race and the University, Instr. Samantha Looker: In this course, students take the writing skills that they built during Rhet 103 and apply them to research, with the ultimate goal of completing an in-depth research project. As part of the EUI-Rhetoric Race and the University Project, this class revolves around how race is represented and lived on university campuses, and specifically on our own campus here at UIUC. Students ground themselves in readings on how race is defined and talked about, and then move on to research related issues on our campus. Students will choose a research question related to race to answer in your final research project. As part of the EUI (Ethnography of the University Initiative), this class gives students the opportunity to create original scholarly research based on your firsthand experience with people, texts, and places on campus. In addition to traditional academic sources, students final research project will include several interviews, observations, surveys, and/or analyses of University texts. [1]
|RHET 105, Spring 2012 [1]
|RHET105 Fall 2011: Principles of Composition [2]
|RHET105 Principles of Composition [1]
|RHET105 Section B4C3 (Race and Ethnicity at UIUC) [1]
|Rhetoric 105, Principles of Composition, Race & the University, Instr. Kristin McCann: This course entailed continual negotiation of three primary focuses: academic writing, introduction to ethnographic research methodologies, and critical inquiry into issues of race and representation. I approached this course as a semester-long conversation with students, the texts with which we engaged, and the kairos of the physical and ideological spaces in which we were immersed. I encouraged students to draw upon their expertise as current UIUC undergraduates and to consider their stake in the university's narratives. Students were, of course, not expected to produce a complete 'ethnography'; rather, to consider what combination of ethnographic research methodologies might be most useful to their specific essays and research projects and what issues they deemed most exigent for their inquiries. Students also had the opportunity to present at the bi-annual EUI conference, alongside other EUI undergraduate and graduate students. The course syllabus is available at: www.eui.uiuc.edu/docs/syllabi/RHET105S08.doc [1]
|Rhetoric 105/Principles of Composition introduces students to the practices of research-based writing for academic audiences, such as formulating a researchable question, locating sources, constructing an argument, drafting, revising, and editing. This course uses writing, reading, observing, and critical thinking to develop scholarly curiosity. To do this, instructors focus on: deepening research skills, developing students' abilities to read and respond to difficult texts, and, most importantly, helping students through the writing process in a social, collaborative, revision-focused environment. This particular section of Rhetoric 105 was focused around the theme of "Exploring Student Communities at the University of Illinois." The assignments and discussions asked students to explore their own experiences as students and consider how various student communities shape our campus culture and identities as students. Over the course of the semester students formulated research questions about a particular campus community and answered them by doing semester-long ethnographic research (observations, interviews, archive analysis, and surveys), including a short video presentation. The kinds of writing studies and conducted were formulated around reflections on these communities. [1]
|Rhetoric 233 (Principles of Composition) is an intermediate expository writing course where students refine their skills in critical reading, argumentation, revision, anticipating audience, and editing. In this course, students explored the relationships between language, culture and identity, as well as examined the ways that writers understand their surrounding cultures, contexts, and audiences (and what that means for their writing). They explored how writers use language to not only express themselves or their ideas, but also to do something—act politically, resist dominant structures, express agency, enact change, etc. As part of the Ethnography of the University Initiative (EUI), a major part of this course was to produce an in-depth research project, where students chose some aspect of language, culture, and community/identity to study on the University. They engaged in ethnographic research methods, which included collecting data, observing and participating in their chosen culture, recording their findings, and analyzing what they collected and recorded. [1]
|Soo Ah Kwon, Instructor [1]
|Students were encouraged to make their work public so that their research subjects, fellow students and Syracuse community participants, would be able to comment and provide feedback on their research. The IDEALS on-line archive would enable this process to be recorded for future students in the hope that they will build on present student research. The archiving of "scholarship in action" research for ANT 300 may help Syracuse University better understands the learning outcomes of "scholarship in action" initiatives. [2]
|The course also introduced students to ethnographic methods. The bulk of this class was devoted to students' own ethnographic projects on a Syracuse University "Scholarship in Action" endeavor although it was possible to carry out research on other areas if students presented a good case for doing so. A wide variety of social practices and learning processes were expected to become part of what students researched. [2]
|The Ethnography of the University Initiative (EUI) includes several universities and community colleges located in the state of Illinois. All of these schools are public. Syracuse University is the first non-Illinois and first private university to join the group. This class joined an inter-campus learning community in which many classes from several schools (most, however, are located at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) explore their universities and colleges ethnographically. In order to explore Syracuse University ethnographically, we needed to think about what "the university" is, what "ethnography" is, and what "scholarship in action" is. Broadly, we explored the university as a composite of prose, numerical, and visual narratives. [1]
|The Ethnography of the University: Studying Scholarship in Action was designed to introduce undergraduate students to ethnographic methodologies, institutional analysis, and the research publication process. Students conducted ethnographic studies of Syracuse University Scholarship in Action projects of their choosing and had the opportunity to produce their results on the web. All the steps in the research process, from the formation of research questions to the creation of final research papers, was produced on-line at a collaborative website, Moodle, that has been created at the University of Illinois to facilitate undergraduate ethnography of the university projects. This project is titled the Ethnography of the University Initiative (EUI). [2]
|The objective of this course is to provide students with hands-on training in ethnographic methods and writing and to help students become critical readers of ethnographic research. Instead of attempting to present a whole smorgasbord of research methods or to survey the vast literature on ethnographic fieldwork, we focus on a small selection of techniques that are central to much anthropological fieldwork (field note taking, participant observation, interviewing, mapping) and that are most useful and relevant for students' semester projects. Other techniques and issues are discussed and incorporated as they emerge from students' own research inquiries. Students will not conduct a full-blown research project but instead will get "a taste" of ethnographic research through a series of ethnographic exercises and students' own mini-project. At the end of the semester, students write an ethnographic research report based on their findings and reflections on the research process. This course is affiliated with the EUI and, as a part of this initiative, students are asked to try their hand at ethnographic research about their own institution, Illinois State University. [4]
|The purpose of this class was to provide students with opportunities to engage in a scholarly examination of research and practices associated with museum interpretation to diverse audiences; and to lead in the development and implementation of Krannert Art Museum educational programs and outreach activities with selected local audiences. [1]
|There are three main components to this course: reading, composition, research. Readings focused on issues related to 'difference' and higher education, and the composing students did for this class included in-class writing, reading responses, and essays that build toward a research project of students' choosing. This course drew upon students' expertise as current U of I students and provided a space for them to 'inquire into'--to ask questions about—spaces they encounter on a daily basis. Throughout this course, we considered what the university 'is' and regarded 'difference' as an area of inquiry within the university's narratives. Another area of concentration was "ethnography," and students gained practice in the basic skills of ethnographic research—i.e., observation, interviewing, artifact analysis. Such practice was built into various assignments/students' own research project. [1]
|Under the title of "Writing and Language in the University," this course centers on two interrelated topics: language, including variations in dialects and registers and the ideologies surrounding those variations; and academic writing, including its many genres and disciplinary differences. As we read, write, and talk about these topics, we explore how writing and language can vary and what makes us consider a way of speaking "standard" or a way of writing are more "correct" or "appropriate" in university contexts than others. We then move on to apply these concepts to our campus by exploring how writing and language are used at UIUC. Each student identifies a specific aspect of writing and/or language at UIUC to focus on for their in-depth research project. They might, for example, look at the range of writing genres used within their major; compare and contrast the academic writing expectations of different teachers, classes, or majors; explore the speech or writing experiences of a particular language or cultural group on campus; or examine current trends in student language use such as texting or slang. In their research, they pull from a wide range of scholarly sources including advanced academic articles and books as well as their own original ethnographic research (interviews, observations, surveys, and/or analyses of University texts). At the close of the course, they not only will have produced a polished final research project, but they will also have the option to share their research with the wider university community through presentation and/or online publication. As part of the EUI (Ethnography of the University Initiative), this class gives them the opportunity to create original scholarly research based on their firsthand experience with people, texts, and places on campus. [2]
|What is a body? Is there such a thing as "the" body? How are bodies produced? What do they represent? Who gets to represent them? In this course we examine bodies in history, in particular cultural contexts, in international and national forums. Readings vary widely to include anthropological, historical, psychological and sociological perspectives. Our assigned projects focused on exercise, health and sport practices in general and on the University of Illinois campus in particular. This course is connected to the Ethnography of the University Initiative. [1]
|When did Muslims arrive in the Americas? What is the history of Muslim immigrants in the United States? This course was an introduction to the study of Muslims in the United States. In examining the multiple racial, cultural, and national groups that make-up this diverse community, students questioned what it means to be Muslim in America. The course began with the first contact between Islam and America in the "Age of Discovery" and the African slave trade to think through the roots of Islam and its role in the contemporary moment. In this moment students also examined how indigenous Americans, referred to as American Indians, are conceptualized in relation to the Muslims of Europe and simultaneously racialized. In historicizing Islam students examined the communities who first arrived as crypto-Muslims to understand the place of Latinos in American Islam. Second, students examined African American Islam in its myriad formations. These two examples were then used comparatively to understand how the historical narrative of African American and Latino Muslims is related to newer immigrant populations. In large part, students surveyed Arab American and South Asian American Muslim communities particularly in urban contexts. These later two populations grew through large immigrant waves in the 19th century and the late twentieth century, particularly after 1965. In addition to the multi-racial and comparative perspective, this course examined intra-religious (sectarian) and interfaith differences and dialogues. This material was explored through an interdisciplinary approach focusing on the scholarship mainly from anthropology, history, sociology, religious studies, and ethnic studies. For many of class discussions this course used Chicago as an ethnographic site to explore the complex make-up and history of Muslim America. [2]

Also, kind of answers m4st3rs question about what can he work on.
What Im doing at moment, and where Im likely to be going.
Currently working on research projects for the technology tree, specifically, parsing the file research.xml.
Have built a stub project class, and now working on derived ProjectResearch class. This has 4 major bits over a basic project , prerequisites, grants, cost, research bonus
Idea is wrap each of these parts in their own class. And ProjectResearch will contain an instance of each, which it invokes to do necessary work.
class ProjectResearch { virtual canStart(Base& base) { prerequisites.canStart(base); }; virtual giveUserTech() { grants.giveUserTech(); }; virtual start(Base& base) { startCosts.debitUser(base); }; private: Prerequisites prerequisites; Grants grants; StartCosts startCosts; Etc. }
At moment, Ive got prerequisites done and checked in.
Am currently working on grants. Have tested that parsing from XML works, still need to test that giveUserTech() works.
Will next work on cost then ResearchBonus classes.
Notes to self:
1. Cost is probably common to research and workshop projects, so move to Project class. Also, Azrael has suggested changes/clarification to ResearchBonus, so should probably work on that first.
Once have this bit done, need to think about relationship between workers, bases, facilities and projects.
1. Workers can only belong to one project at a time, to probably best to just keep a pointer in worker object to project. (No list of workers IN project.) Means if we delete a worker, is automatically deleted from project. Of course if project is deleted, we then need to walk list of workers, and remove the project from them.
2. Currently Research Projects have field specifying facility needed to work on. So easy way to distinguish between Scientist and Engineer is field giving type of facility they use.
3. Relations between objects
a. Base OWNS people
b. Base OWNS facilities
c. Scientists WORK IN facilities
d. Scientists ASSIGNED TO projects
4. What happens when we transfer worker, whos assigned to a project, to a different base? If base is also working on the project? If base isnt working on project?
To Do:
Inventory Troop & Craft. Currently store items in RackDistinct. However, need to allow for physical location of item (definitely for trooper, very probably for craft. E.g. Right Wing Pod has Cannon, Left wing pod has missile Really only needed if we want to show this to user.) Aside, do we need grid for Trooper, we could just set a backpack size and check that all items fit?
Possible solution: have Position class to record information. Is stored in Rack with item. E.g. Tvector
Have created a demo dialog for Buy/Sell of items. Reason being if Art department can see it, will be motivation to design the final dialog, get artwork. Then can implement using existing skeleton. Will need to wait until next release for them to see it though.
ItemPrototypeFactory:: findPrototype() returns pointer. Find out why returning an ItemPtr makes it crash.
ItemCraft::getItemName() and ItemAlien::getItemName() need to translate the ItemType string for display. (ItemAlien also needs to translate Rank.)
Check that English.xml has list of items, research projects, facilities, ranks etc. from default.xsd. (Maybe someone in CTD could do it?)
Should I add Inventory::insert(ItemPtr&) that sets ItemPtr to null? Would have closer semantics than existing Inventory::insert(Item&)
Xnet, even in DagonSquirel still occasionally doesnt close when click on top right button.
Inventory::find() need a const version of this for read only stuff.
Files tradeable[.cpp|.h] TradableFactory, TradableManager. I think these were going to be items. Probably should remove from project.
Replace TechnologyManager with ResearchManager. Not much salvage, but I like Beetles solution to the starting tech issue. Just find the starting tech project by its name, and grant everything.
Find out why my PM no longer permits attachments. Who to ask?
Python. Dont know it. Have bought Python Cookbook. Need to find time to read it.
Expand on idea Xenocide: Realpolitik. Probably no fun to play, but document anyway:
Wealthy Govts dont support XCORP.
Theyll shoot down your craft if discovered over flying their territory (or at least try to).
However, they will also shoot down UFOs over their territory, and will attack any UFO landing sites as well.
They will ALSO try to attack and capture any UFOs over other territory as well. (So will be race/fight for UFOs.)
If they find out youve captured stuff (say by your selling it), they turn up at your base with army and demand it be handed over to them. Refuse, and they invade you base. They also kidnap and torture your staff and their families.
Other things:
Craft & Items. If we track craft as items in inventory, Need to be careful if transfer craft to another base because of people assigned to craft. Crew must be removed from craft when move it, because crew and craft must belong to same base. Also, what about craft properties in craft.xml? Should they be moved to item.xml? probably not, because we want craft.xml to hold alien craft as well. Solution is probably pimpl, ItemCraft has (shared?)pointer to actual Craft.
RK has suggested completing Planetscape task list. I assume he means Planetscape Planning.xls. Not really sure what the Null Base Nominal Optimal columns mean. Also, should probably update I think 16 is now done, possibly 36 as well. And some of 19 & 17. Im currently working on 20, then will be doing 18.

Obama budget to focus on debt reduction
- President Obama%27s budget to include previous debt reduction proposals%2C including Social Security
- Obama will propose his budget on Wednesday
- Aides%3A Obama will not agree to cuts unless Republicans agree to higher taxes on wealthy
President Obama's budget proposal next week will include debt reduction offers previously made to congressional Republicans, including structural changes that would limit the growth of Social Security, officials said Friday.
The officials also said that Obama will not ultimately sign off on many of these cuts — including one that would change the way Social Security cost-of-living increases are calculated — unless congressional Republicans agree to new tax revenues by closing loopholes for the wealthy.
"The president believes we need a broad, balanced approach to our nation's fiscal challenges," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
Carney said the plan, including changes to Social Security, "is not the president's ideal approach ... but it is a serious compromise proposal."
Republicans have said they will oppose any new tax hikes as part of debt reduction.
Obama is scheduled to unveil his proposed budget on Wednesday; two officials discussed his plans in detail on the condition they not be named because the document has not been released.
The proposed budget would reduce the debt by $1.8 trillion over 10 years, they said, adding to $2.5 trillion in reductions achieved through previous budget deals. If the president's budget is adopted, they said, the budget deficit would be 2.8% of gross domestic product by the year 2016, and 1.7% by 2023.
The current federal debt exceeds $16.7 trillion.
Many of the cuts to be included in the Obama budget were offered to House Speaker John Boehner last year as part of negotiations to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff."
The Social Security proposal is known as "chained CPI"; the acronym stands for Consumer Price Index.
In describing the plan as a compromise offer to the Republicans, Carney and other White House officials noted that fellow Democrats have criticized the proposed Social Security changes and other cuts.
Boehner criticized Obama's budget outline, which will be released in full April 10, because the president continues to seek additional revenues by closing tax loopholes that benefit the wealthy in exchange for these entitlement reforms.
Republicans oppose any additional tax increases after the January budget deal that raised more than $600 billion in new taxes. However, most Republicans support the entitlement reforms the White House discussed Friday.
"When the president visited the Capitol last month, House Republicans stated a desire to find common ground and urged him not to make savings we agree upon conditional on another round of tax increases," Boehner said in a statement. "If reports are accurate, the president has not heeded that call."
Congressional Democrats were largely silent on the White House budget early Friday, but outside liberal activists groups moved swiftly to condemn the entitlement proposals backed by the president.
"You can't call yourself a Democrat and support Social Security benefit cuts," said Stephanie Taylor of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. The group has signed over 100 Democratic lawmakers to a letter opposing any cuts to Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid benefits.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka tweeted that any budget that includes benefit cuts "is a sign of the wrong-headed policy driving our slow recovery." A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the senator would not be commenting on the president's budget today.

The above photo was taken in the backyard of my house sometime around 1995 at one of the infamous 617 barbecues known as Grillathon. There are some people in that pic who are now rather famous in certain circles. There are a LOT of people who where at the BBQ who have gone on to bigger and better things within the infosec industry. There are even more people from the same 617 area who now head security departments at fortune 100 companies, hold high level positions at DOD, who hold millions of dollars of VC money in the palm of their hand.
Some have embraced their past, they openly admit who they associated with, and wear it almost as a badge of pride. Others actively hide away from it. They want no mention of their past associations or that they even once used a handle. <gasp> I'm not talking about admitting to past crimes or other transgressions. There is no need to say you pownd an entire country in 1998 (who didn't), no, I'm just talking about admitting who you were, and who your friends were. I don't understand why this scares some of us so much.
It is one thing to not advertise certain facts but its another to actively go out of your way to dissociate with your past, and it pisses me off. We all know who you are and who you were, do you?
Speaking of 617, you may have noticed Lady Ada (Limor Freid) on the cover of Wired this month (April 2011). One of dozens of people from the late nineties 617 BBS scene to go on to huge success. I'd love to make a list of people who where in the scene then and where they ended up but I suspect it would upset a lot of the people who are hiding their past.
I might do it anyway. I would be afraid of leaving people out, remind me who was around 617 back then and where they are now. If you were around back then and think making such a list would be a bad idea, let me know that to. I may not listen to you, but I might. Depends on how pissed I get about it.

"The Thirty Franciscan Martyrs of Široki Brijeg. Thousands of pilgrims visit the Franciscan Monastery in Široki Brijeg every year, about one hour distant from Međugorje. On 7th February 1945 the Communist soldiers arrived and said "God is dead, there is no God, there is no Pope, there is no Church, there is no need of you, you also go out in the world and work." The communists forgot that the Franciscans were working, most of the Franciscans were teaching in the adjoining school. Some of the Franciscans were famous professors and had written books. The communists asked them to remove their habits. The Franciscans refused. One angry soldier took the Crucifix and threw it on the floor. He said, "you can now choose either life or death." Each of the Franciscans knelt down, embraced the Crucifix and said, "You are my God and my All." The thirty Franciscans were taken out and slaughtered and their bodies burned in a nearby cave where their remains lay for many years. Today they are buried inside the Franciscan church. In our Gospel today Jesus said, "if anyone declares himself for me in the presence of men, I will declare myself for him in the presence of my Father in heaven." The thirty Franciscan martyrs of Široki Brijeg are a powerful example of declaring oneself in the presence of others for Jesus. They lived something else Jesus also said in the Gospel, 'Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; fear him rather who can destroy both body and soul in hell.'
"Witnessing to Jesus and following God's way helps others who are lacking courage to follow Jesus. One of the soldiers in the firing squad at Široki Brijeg later said, "Since I was a child, in my family, I had always heard from my mother that God exists. To the contrary, Stalin, Lenin, Tito had always asserted and taught each one of us: there is no God. God does not exist! But when I stood in front of the martyrs of Široki Brijeg and I saw how those friars faced death, praying and blessing their persecutors, asking God forgive the faults of their executioners, it was then that I recalled to my mind the words of my mother and I thought that my mother was right: God exists!" That soldier converted and now he has a son a priest and a daughter a nun. As I said, witnessing to Jesus and following God's way also helps others in the crowd who are lacking the courage to follow Jesus."

Community rallies behind mother, daughter killed in hit-'n-run crash | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
BARTOW COUNTY, Ga. -- A North Georgia community is rallying to support the family of a mother and her young daughter who were killed in a hit-'n-run crash with a tractor-trailer Friday in Bartow County.
The Georgia State Patrol says 29-year-old Maria Tabuena and her four-year-old daughter Melina Trichell were driving on I75 when a big rig clipped their car and sent them careening off the interstate into a guard rail.
Witnesses said the vehicle hit a guard rail and was launched into a support pillar for an overhead sign. The SUV burst into flames.
The driver and passenger were pronounced dead on the scene. The crash killed Maria Tabuena, age 29, of Calhoun and her passenger, 4-year old Melina Trichell. They were in a 1998 Ford Expedition.
The driver of the tractor trailer involved did not stop.
Georgia State Patrol officers are searching for a tractor trailer described as a late 90's long nose Peterbilt truck. The truck was maroon and pulling a silver trailer and will have damage to the right side. Witnesses said the the truck was dirty and in need of a wash.
Anyone with details should call the Georgia State Patrol office in Cartersville at 770-387-3701.
The accident happened at about 1:30PM and wasn't cleared until after 5:00PM. It caused heavy delays on Interstate 75 northbound near exit 293 as a result of the accident.
Family and friends have set up a memorial fund for the family to help pay for funeral costs. Anyone interested in helping can make a donation to the "Trichell Memorial Fund" at any Wells Fargo branch.

When you call yourself TheSoftwareJedi, there's only so far you can fall.
One such computer programmer, Dana Hanna of Abingdon, Md., halted his wedding ceremony so he could update his Facebook relationship status via BlackBerry, says Valleywag. Yes, before he kissed the bride. You might say he swapped one kind of PDA for another -- except we can't blame someone called TheSoftwareJedi for wanting to share that a pretty girl actually like-liked him.
He then Tweeted:
Standing at the altar with @TracyPage where just a second ago, she became my wife! Gotta go, time to kiss my bride. #weddingday
Does anyone know if there's a hashtag for wedding night advice for software programmers who are 'Star Wars' fans (not that they're ever mutually exclusive)? Maybe try #20sided_dice?
Seems the bride was in on the spectacle -- the groom tossed her Blackberry to her at the altar, because there's just no room in those Princess Leia gold bikinis for bulky social networking devices.
The poor, despondent Internets were then subjected to a bit of live-blogging from the honeymoon suite. Consider this message, Tweeted approximately seven hours later:
Hopping in the jacuzzi tub. TMI?
Yes, Dana. It's all TMI. And while we're at it, we don't want or need to know about the actual consummation of the marriage.
Now excuse us while we go Tweet about how hard we're weeping for the future of society.

apricot lattice pie
- 1kg ripe apricots, chopped
- 1½ cups (330g) caster (superfine) sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (50g) arrowroot
- ½ cup (60g) cashew meal (ground cashews)+
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons raw sugar
large sweet pie pastry
- 4½ cups (675g) plain (all-purpose) flour
- ½ cup (110g) caster (superfine) sugar
- 1½ teaspoons sea salt flakes
- 185g cold unsalted butter, chopped
- 115g cold lard++, chopped
- 1½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup (180ml) iced water
- To make the pastry, place the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the butter and lard and, using your fingertips, rub into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Add the vinegar and water and, using a butter knife, bring the mixture together to form a rough dough. Lightly knead to bring the dough together, shape into 2 discs and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
- Roll out 1 of the pastry discs between 2 sheets of lightly floured non-stick baking paper to 4mm thick and use to line an 18cm metal pie dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the remaining pastry disc between 2 sheets of lightly floured non-stick baking paper to a 3mm-thick, 40cm x 40cm square. Cut the pastry into 10 x 3cm-wide lengths and 8 x 1cm-wide lengths. Place on baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper and refrigerate until needed.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the apricot, caster sugar, vanilla and arrowroot in a large bowl and mix well to combine. Spread the cashew meal in the base of the pastry case and top with the apricot mixture. Use the pastry strips to create a lattice pattern (see note).
- Press the edges to seal, trimming any excess pastry. Brush the pastry with the egg and sprinkle with the raw sugar. Place on a large baking tray and cook for 60–65 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Stand for 30 minutes before serving. Serves 6–8.
+ Cashew meal is available in the baking or nut aisle of the supermarket.
++ Lard is a common addition to pastry dough, as it has a higher melting point than butter so will help the pastry keep its shape when cooking. We've used a combination of butter and lard in our pastries to give a rich, sweet flavour and a nice crisp crust. Find lard in the chilled section of the supermarket.
Note: to make the lattice crust, roll out the pastry evenly, cut one sheet into a mix of wide and thin strips. Starting with a wide strip, top your pie with half the pastry strips, alternating between wide and thin. Fold back every other wide pastry strip and neighbouring thin strip. Lay down one wide pastry strip and one thin strip in the opposite direction, then fold the pastry back over the top. Alternate the strips you've folded back and repeat the process of laying down the pastry strips in the opposite direction and folding back over to create the woven lattice pattern.

We had a wonderful tweet from one of our followers via Twitter (of course) the other day. Our work has inspired Natasha Gdansk, or, @parchmentbanshe to post a poem over on the The Lost Beat blog;
Art of Illumination
Tangos with that flourished temptation
Harmoniously gliding and dipping
Into pure gold leaf
The bold dapper lets his seductive partner sashay
And descend into sepia and indigo
With her pointed stilettos and boisterous past
Entanglements flirting with
Angelic wings and
Questionable acts along the fringes
Hidden between the cinnabar dreams
And saffron visions
Teasing with rubric lace
Across the vellum dance floor
Transporting through time with bold hues
Delighting with their tantalizing textures
Stunning the senses
With a bold stroke of the quill
Instilling memories to be
Preserved throughout infinity.
Amazing Natasha! Thank you!
