Ellie's parents were optimistic about her transition from her private preschool for children with hearing loss to her neighborhood public school kindergarten. After all, Ellie's speech and language skills had improved greatly since enrolling her in the preschool. Ellie's previous school had an audiologist who came to the school daily to check all the children's equipment and interacted easily with Ellie's speech-language pathologist and teachers of the deaf. However, only a few weeks into kindergarten, Ellie's mother was already concerned that the new speech-language pathologist was not checking Ellie's cochlear implant on a regular basis. The audiologist for the school district was responsible for 250 children at multiple schools throughout the county so how attentive could she be to Ellie's needs? Would Ellie tell her teacher if her implant wasn't working, or if her battery was dead? Would Ellie's implant audiologist at the hospital share her test results with the speech-language pathologist, as Ellie's mother had requested?
Scenarios such as this one are familiar to those of us who work with children with hearing loss. Children are being identified and treated for hearing loss earlier than ever thanks to universal newborn hearing screenings and enhanced technologies. The same children who 30 years ago would have been in specialized educational settings are now entering mainstream classrooms across the nation. Clearly this was our goal, and we are excited to see the progress that has been made on this front. However, when a child is in a general education classroom, sees her audiologist twice a year for programming at a hospital 50 miles from home, gets private speech therapy one hour a week at ABC Therapy, and sees the school SLP for 30 minutes twice a week, coordination of care can fall through the cracks. It was this disconnect between the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology that first drove me to pursue both my Au.D. and SLP degrees and become dually certified. I wanted to be able to treat the whole patient, from diagnosing the hearing loss to helping them achieve listening and spoken language outcomes.
In 2011-2012, I conducted a survey under the direction of Anne Marie Tharpe, Ph.D. examining this issue. We wanted to know whether or not audiologists and speech-language pathologists believed they were collaborating effectively, and we wanted to see if the parents of children with significant (moderate-profound) hearing loss agreed. We surveyed 189 individuals, essentially evenly divided between parents, audiologists, and speech-language pathologists. Almost all respondents to the survey felt that collaboration between the two professions was important. "Collaboration" meant everything from sharing test results to attending IEP meetings. The take-home message from the survey results was that about 1/3 of the parents and audiologists, and 1/4 of SLPs surveyed did not agree that professionals were working collaboratively. So one out of every three parents with whom you interact may feel there is something more we could be doing to work better as a team.
The most often-cited barriers by clinicians to collaboration included time constraints and large caseloads. One of the most rewarding findings in the survey was that 100 percent of parents of children ages birth-3 years felt that professionals were working collaboratively. This tells us that we have indeed done a good job in improving our service delivery to this population with a focus on family-centered care. However, we are still challenged by how to provide collaborative hearing care to children and their families when they reach school.
So what are your thoughts? Do you feel you work well as part of the parent-audiologist-speech-language pathologist team? What are your biggest frustrations? How might we improve our collaborations with other professionals – perhaps by embracing new technology that allows us to communicate and collaborate in a more timely manner? As we think about Better Speech and Hearing Month this May, let's focus on working toward better collaboration with one another so that children such as Ellie have the best chance to succeed.

In Shakespeare's Hamlet, crotchety old Polonius tells his son, Laertes, "This above all: to thine own self be true"—and then, blah blah, something far less quotable. Since then, this advice has been dispensed approximately 5,684,765,876 times. You, as a young person, have probably heard it a lot, for you are young and growing. And it sounds good, suggesting, as it does, purity, righteousness, and a consistent personality.
But there's one thing that kind of bugs me about this popular wisdom: I don't get it. Or, to quote the contemplative Angela Chase, "People always say how you should be yourself, like your 'self' is this definite thing, like a toaster or something. Like you can know what it is, even." Being yourself seems so simple and obvious, but, not to get all liberal-arts-college-student-who's-just-discovered-philosophy, can you really know who that is?
Sure, you can know things about yourself. You know your beliefs and can predict most of your actions. Your thoughts and feelings are, to a great extent, your own. But your personality has not been completely the same since birth, and if you say otherwise, you're lying. People change. It's a time of SELF-DISCOVERY. Freshman friends can be enemies by senior year. Someone who once spent all of her weekends at home now parties those same nights. And people get weird about it. Somehow, changing at all can be interpreted as not being true to yourself.
When I started high school, I was very concerned with getting really good grades. But I took hard classes my freshman year, and my A+ streak didn't last long. I flipped a shit when I got a C+ in Biology. Being a good student was so important to me, because I didn't do much outside of school. Then I started writing, blogging, and taking art classes at nearby colleges. I thought these things were way more fun than killing myself studying. It wasn't that I didn't work hard, it's just that I realized there was more to life than getting good grades. To my studious friends, I probably seemed like a slacker (i.e., "not myself"), when really it's just that my priorities changed. (I think I ended up getting a B in Biology anyway.)
Part of the problem with a phrase like "be true to yourself" is that it really isn't about you at all. It's about the people around you. I think what people are really saying is, "Don't change, because I like you the way you are right now." It's similar to the phrase "respect yourself," which I hear as, "Please act in a way that allows me to respect you." Sometimes as a friend you DO need to step in when you feel your friend is changing too much for the worse, as in their life might be in danger. Though many people's criticisms against change are for their own convenience, not general concern for a person's wellbeing. Like Angela said, "It just seems like you agree to have a certain personality or something. For no reason. Just to make things easier for everyone. But when you think about it…how do you know it's even you?" Sometimes the self that people refer to belongs to the past. People will get concerned, or possibly angry, when you deviate from that former self. Remember how weirded out Sharon was when Angela dyed her hair and quit yearbook? Angela wasn't wreaking havoc, she was just going through a transformation. But the main problem is that change is EXACTLY what you're supposed to be doing! Not to mention that there really is no such thing as "yourself." Part of being a teenager (or just being a human!) is that you're constantly changing. Your personality is not this concrete thing that is locked in forever.
I get not wanting someone to change. I've felt that way, too, and I've judged people who have changed. I had a friend once who used to be unconcerned with being popular or getting people to like her. She just did her own thing. But then, one day, she decided that partying hard and drinking was cool. She browsed Facebook albums of kids who were going to keg parties and wanted to have that kind of fun. She thought her nerdy social scene was boring, so she changed it by seeking out parties and chances to make new, older friends. "Oh, she's changed," I heard people (including myself) say, and it was clear we thought she was somehow a poser for this. Did I think her behavior was strange? Yeah, totally. But at the end of the day, that's her. She didn't hurt anyone and thankfully was not abusing drugs. She just wanted a change of scene, and she found it. She's not the same person now, and that's OK.
Your identity as a teenager is supposed to change, whether it be year to year or hour to hour. Maybe you go through phases. Maybe you dye your hair blue and listen to punk music. In 10 years, you could still have blue hair—or you could be totally conventional. Changing is not committing to something forever, even if guidance counselors or parents or friends might have you believe otherwise. After all, who knows yourself better than you? ♦

By Nancy Braun, broker and owner of Charlotte-based Showcase Realty
As a caring American, I believe it would be ideal if we all had health coverage. With the economic crisis facing our country, I question whether this is the time to impose a mandate on businesses to provide health insurance to their employees or face penalties.
The economic future of America is dependent on the success and growth of small businesses, the greatest job creators. As a small-business owner with growing payroll, overhead and compliance costs and smaller profit margins, it's challenging to make the numbers work.
I own a small and growing real estate company. I started the company four years ago with just two employees, and now we are 15 and growing.
I am proud to be able to offer training and job skills, as well as an income, to 15 families and many more contractors we support. While I wish I could also offer health coverage to my employees, I realistically would not be able to keep the doors open.
I also have a number of agents who hold their license with our firm and are considered independent contractors and are compensated on a commission basis. So I am concerned that regulations, or its implementation, will include the independent contractor agents as being covered by this new law.
The reality is that real estate agents barely make any money the first couple of years in the business. If real estate companies are required to provide health insurance to agents, they would be less likely to hire new (in-training) nonproducing agents or agents who are not top producers.
Also, the commission split would clearly change, so in reality the agents will be paying the costs for insurance, not their employer.
I am overwhelmed by the amount of time and resources I have to devote to regulatory compliance in lieu of time devoted to trying to grow my business. To a small-business owner, governmental oversight can be crippling.
I don't think the supporters of this act really understand the consequences that will ensue. To further impose more taxes/penalties on businesses already struggling is a death sentence to so many businesses that are trying to stay afloat.
As a matter of necessity to remain competitive and profitable, what I suspect will result is:
- the most qualified employees will seek out jobs from larger companies that can afford to offer health care coverage, ultimately leaving the smaller businesses in a competitive disadvantage to hire talented and skilled employees;
- businesses will restructure themselves or cease hiring to keep them under the 50-employee threshold;
- companies will move their operations overseas and will outsource overseas in greater numbers;
- companies that are struggling will be forced to shut down, resulting in an even higher unemployment rate; and
- American businesses will further lose their competitive advantage internationally.
There are 20 new taxes being imposed with this "affordable" act. We need to be focusing on job creation and supporting businesses, rather than overtaxing and over-regulating them.
(Editor's note: Braun, broker and owner of Charlotte-based Showcase Realty, wrote this column in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's upholding last week of the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act.)

About the hotel
"Nestled in the picturesque village of Calverley, this pretty 19th century inn is a slice of Yorkshire calm that's equally close to the commercial hubs of Bradford and Leeds. So whether you're planning a short break or a business trip, it makes for an ideal escape. The Caverley Arms is a fine Victorian building with 14 rooms and a cosy pub.
You won't have to wander far, then, if you're in the mood for a pint of cask ale or some heart-warming, seasonally inspired food. Judging from Victorian maps, the lodge's roots date back at least to the 1850s, but its stunning views over the Aire Valley are truly timeless. The pub's garden, which occupies a beautiful spot bordered by large trees and open countryside, is the perfect place to enjoy them, especially during summer. If you're feeling more active, there's lots of great rambling nearby and plenty of attractions to keep you occupied, from Pudsey Park, medieval Calverley Hall and the stunning Kirkstall Abbey to the hustle and bustle of Leeds City Shopping Centre.

The Tin Collectors
A NovelBook - 2001 | 1st ed.
LAPD Sargeant Shane Scully is in trouble with the "tin collectors"--internal affairs--when he comes to the aid of his ex-partner's wife and ends up killing another cop in the process.
Blackwell North Amer
Inside the Department, They're Called Tin Collectors: Internal Affairs Agents, the police of the police. If they catch you breaking the rules, they'll come after your badge. If they want you badly enough, they'll collect more than just your tin.
LAPD Detective Shane Scully is startled awake in the middle of the night by a call from his ex-partner's wife, who is being beaten by her abusive husband. After racing to their house to stop the fight, Scully ends up killing his ex-partner, a cop who is beloved within the department. Suddenly, Scully finds himself an outcast, shunned by his fellow cops, who intend to exact vengeance no matter what the cost. Internal Affairs zeroes in on the "renegade" cop with their sharpest young prosecutor, the ice queen Alexa Hamilton, who has her own reasons for taking revenge on Scully.
Desperate to save his career, Scully starts kicking over rocks within the LAPD. What he uncovers is pure evil: a conspiracy going to the very top that ultimately threatens not just his own life but that of a young teenage boy. Chooch, entrusted to Scully's care by his mother, Sandy Sandoval. Known as the Black Widow, Sandy is a beautiful and courageous women who also happens to be the LAPD's most important undercover informant, and Scully will do anything to keep her son safe.

The concept of the book has potential, but I intensely disliked Shane. The beginning of the story is ridiculous. Two or more female characters lead this panting guy around by the ring in his nose. All of his troubles begin with Shane's absurd decision to play Sir Galahad and rescue his former girlfriend from an abusive but highly decorated police officer who was once his partner. His relationship with another prostitute and taking responsibility for her rebellious teenage son is beyond my belief. By the end of the story I was rooting for the paper-cutout bad guys to remove the "hero" from the story. Oh yea, the ending pours pickle juice over the day-old cupcake.

Activity Badge
The Webelos Handyman Activity Badge is one of 20 different Activity Badges that can be earned in the Webelos Scout Program. The requirements are typically worked on during den meetings or den activities while the skills are practiced at home, with the help of the Webelos Scout's family. The requirements are either completed with the den or at home with the den leader's approval. Projects are brought to meetings to share with the den and for Webelos Den Leader or Activity Badge Counselor approval.
Do these:
- 1. With your parent, guardian, or Webelos den leader, complete the Responsibility Character Connection.
- a. Know: List all the tasks you can think of that are necessary in keeping a household in good shape. Name the tasks that are your responsibility. Tell what it means to be responsible for these tasks.
- b. Commit: Talk about what happens when people don't do their jobs. Tell why it is important to be helpful and to be responsible. List ways that you can be more responsible on your own.
- c. Practice: Choose one of the requirements and show how you are responsible by doing that task well for two weeks.
And do six of these:
- 2. With adult supervision, wash a car.
- 3. Help an adult change a tire on a car.
- 4. With adult supervision, replace a bulb in the taillight, turn signal, or parking light or replace a headlight on a car.

Swimming Pool Blog

Salt Chlorine System Maintenance
Salt Chlorine Generators. Just add salt and all of your pool care maintenance issues disappear! Don't believe the hype - pool salt systems will remove the "drudgery" of having to buy, transport, store and handle chlorine. This also makes your pool more eco-friendly.
But salt pool systems do require some maintenance to keep them operating properly and to prevent having to replace expensive components like the salt cell, flow sensors and control boards.
Pictured above is a salt cell that has severe calcium build-up between the plates, which reduces flow through the salt cell of course, but also severly reduces the electrolysis, and eventually leads to salt cell failure.
What Causes Calcium Build-Up on a Salt Cell?
Ironically, the salts that you add to the pool are the same salts that will deposit themselves onto your salt cell. The number one cause of this is high pH levels. Adding salt to the pool will raise the pH level in the pool, and the sodium hypochlorite that a saltwater chlorinator produces will also raise pH. Maintaining your pH level on the low-side, around 7.2-7.4, will reduce scale build-up on your salt cell.
High Total Alkalinity levels in your pool can also be a factor. High levels of carbonates can make it difficult to reduce your pH level and also contributes to the scaly stuff that is attracted to the electrically charged metallic plates. Maintain your TA level on the low-side as well, around 80-90 ppm.
High Calcium Hardness levels in a pool will accelerate scale build-up on your salt cell - you probably could have assumed that much. Maintain your calcium hardness levels on the low side, around 180-200ppm.
Run time of your salt chlorinator can also increase scale build-up on your salt cell. The longer the salt system is operating, the more time it has to attract calcium salts. Keeping your salt level up, at the proper level, and using stabilizer or conditioner, to shield the chlorine it produces from the sun, will reduce necessary run-time of your salt system.
What about Self-Cleaning Salt Cells?
Most newer models of salt cells are now equipped with a polarity reversing mode that reverses the charge on the plates and causes the salt build-up to de-bond from the metallic plates. This is a giant leap forward in salt chlorine systems, and will handle most of the routine salt cell maintenance. However, scale build-up can still occur, and even on systems that are "self-cleaning" (like your kitchen oven) - you will still need to do a proper cell cleaning. Just perhaps not so often. In areas of hard water; Arizona comes to mind, polarity reversal may not be able to keep up with the deposits, and may not be able to win the battle.
How often do I need to Clean my Salt Cell?
That will vary, pool to pool. The best advice I can give for this would be to inspect the salt cell closely every few weeks for the first season, to get a sense of your particular scaling patterns. Use a flashlight if needed, to cast a light between the metal plates. If they aren't shiny clean, a cleaning would be in order. In cases where very few deposits are seen during inspection, you should plan on cleaning the salt cell every 3 months of operation. Keeping the salt cell clean is the best warranty against having to replace it prematurely.
How do I Clean my Salt Cell?
Consult your owner's manual for instructions particular to your specific device. The general method is to shut off power and remove the salt cell from the system, hose it out thoroughly with a high pressure water stream and then bathe the cell for 5-10 minutes in a 5:1 solution of water:muriatic acid. You can buy muriatic acid at any Home supply or Hardware store. Straight vinegar can also be used, but muriatic acid may be preferred.
Some brands of salt systems will have end caps that you can purchase, or you can use winterizing plug to block one end of the cell, and then pour the water/acid mix into the cell. You will see bubbling and fizzing as the acid works to dissolve the scale. When the fizzing stops, the cleaning is complete. Immediately afterwards, rinse the salt cell thoroughly to remove the traces of acid. I like to take it over to the pool and dunk the entire cell in the pool and swish around for about 30 seconds.
Do NOT use a screwdriver to manually scrape off the calcium, as you will surely damage the metal plates.
What else do I need to do to Maintain my Salt System?
Most salt water chlorinators have a separate flow sensor and some have a separate salt level sensor. These two sensors, if you can locate them, should be removed and gently cleaned with a toothbrush to remove any scale or dirt that has built up. Be careful as you handle these probes, so as not to damage the metallic coating, or any wires leading to and from the sensors.
In Summary, to ensure peak performance and longevity of your Salt Cell...
- Maintain proper salt levels. Add to replace salt lost by splashout, backwashing or leaks.
- Maintain low levels of pH, Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness.
- Maintain proper levels of Cyanuric Acid, aka Stabilizer to reduce demand on your salt cell.
- Inspect and Clean your Salt Cell regularly to remove any scale build-up.
- Keep your chlorine level as low as possible. Test the water to maintain 1.0-2.0 ppm
- Use the super-chlorinate function only as needed to remove combined chlorine levels.
Products that Can Help
- Nature2 is a mineral purifer that will allow you to reduce chlorine levels to 0.5ppm and improve water clarity. Reducing the chlorine demand will also reduce demands on your salt cell. When you run your salt chlorine generator less, it will last longer.
- Phos-Free is a natural chemical that removes phosphates from your pool. Phosphates are delicious to algae, and can build up in your pool in a byproduct of pool salt impurities known as OrthoPhosphates. Phosphates will increase your chlorine and salt cell demand.
- Salt Water Magic is a mix of enzymes, chelators, phosphate removers and other magical ingredients to keep your pool water optimal for protection of your salt chlorinator cell.

Desktop Virus Scanner for Ubuntu
The first question you may ask is why a virus scanner for Linux? Well, the level of sharing that is done between Windows computers and Linux computers suggests that it may be a nice option to be able to scan files and directories to protect your Windows machines. In addition, if you are using Wine to run Windows computers you will need to verify that those files are not infected. Who knows, there may be a time when Linux is also dealing with virus activity as well, yes I know there are a few active Linux viruses now.
I found this easy to install and use graphical tool that many will like, called clamtk.
In order to install ClamTK in Ubuntu 8.04 open Synaptic Package Manager and search for clamav. Once you have a list install these programs:
Here are some quick ways to scan with various options.
Type of Scan Command
Scan a File Ctrl+F
Quick Home Scan Ctrl+Q
Full Home Scan Ctrl+Z
Scan a Directory Ctrl+D
Recursive Scan Ctrl+R
Your virus signatures automatically update every hour…nice feature.

A Great Day in Harlem: Louis Armstrong Panel, January 7, 2012
And the audience was packed, too, including Michael Cogswell of the Louis Armstrong House Museum, Phoebe Jacobs of the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation, Ray Carmen of the Duke Ellington Society and many more, the majority of whom stayed the full four hours. Here's a picture I will cherish til the end of my days:
For those keeping score at home: (Top row, L to R) Gwen DeLuca, Dan Morgenstern, Jackie Harris, Michael Cogswell, David Ostwald, Ray Carmen (Bottom row, L to R) Phoebe Jacobs, George Avakian and your truly. When I told Michael Cogswell who was on the panel, he joked that he felt uncomfortable, bringing up how the President and Vice President never ride together in the same car. "If someone were to blow up the building," he said, "it would set Armstrong scholarship back 40 years!"
I could keep going on and on about the proceedings but I won't and for a very good reason: you can hear it for yourself. Yes, not only is the National Jazz Museum in Harlem is a beautiful place for simply putting on these type of programs almost nightly, but they do an excellent job of recording them and posting the audio on their website. So here it is, broken into 4 parts ranging from 44 minutes to 57 minutes: Louis Armstrong Panel Audio.
What will you find if you choose to devote 3 1/2 hours of your life to listening to it? Plenty. I had my trusty iPod in my hand at all times so when Dan Morgenstern talked about certain moments of the Slivovice interview, I had them cued up or when George Avakian talked about "Louis Armstrong Plays W. C. Handy," I had specific outtakes ready to play (and yes, the same outtakes and unissued alternates that I wrote about in my book, the ones I couldn't share on the blog but with George, who gave me the permission to copy them for my research, sitting next time, how could I not!?). And pay attention to David Ostwald, too. Many know him simply as the tuba player with the vaudevillian lines who leads the Louis Armstrong Centennial Band at Birdland every Wednesday at 5:30. But I've gotten very close with David over the years and I've talked enough Pops with him to know that he has some tremendous insights into the man. He did not disappoint on the panel (and some thought he stole the show with his answer about Louis as a civil rights pioneer in the first part....don't miss it).
Once again, thanks to Loren Schoenberg and the National Jazz Museum in Harlem for making this stuff happen and extra special thanks to my esteemed guests and esteemed audience who made it such a special day. And for those in the NY area, don't forget that I'll be giving three more lectures on Louis at the Museum on Tuesday the 17th, 24th and 31st, each one beginning at 7 p.m. Enough from me...happy listening!

Followed the link and started to listen. Then I heard "Lou-iss" repeatedly which soured me. LOUIS is pronounced "Lou-ee" since it's actually a French name, and Satch even insisted on having his name spelled "Louie" on some recordings so folks would get it right. You doubtless know that "Satchmo" came from some European MC's attempt to pronounce "Satchelmouth."
I'm a 69-year-old Louis, myself (of Italian ancestry), and I think your blog is a great tribute to one of America's greatest jazzmen.

Hi Lou and thanks for the kind words about the blog! There's really no wrong answer when it comes to the "Louis" vs. "Louie" debate since he's been called it both ways but I truly believe that Louis preferred the "Lou-iss" pronunciation. When he recorded "Hello, Dolly," the session's producer suggested Louis sing, "It's Louie, Dolly," but Louis responded, "It's Louis!" with the "s" sound and that's how he sung it on that hit record, holding the "s" for extra emphasis. I've listened to dozens, maybe hundreds of tapes of Louis and he always, 100% of the time, referred to himself as Louis with the "s" sound. Even when he filled out his draft registration card in 1917, the clerk wrote down his name as "Lewis Armstrong" because that's obviously how Louis pronounced it.
Yes, "Louis" does have a French connotation but as Lucille Armstrong once pointed out, Louis didn't pronounce his name that way because "Louis wasn't French." Obviously, there's nothing wrong with calling him Louie; many friends called him that, including his wife Lucille, and there are the records "Laughin' Louie" and "Louie's Dream." But if you ask me what I think Louis preferred, I'd argue that it was the "Loui-iss" pronunciation. So let's agree to disagree....and agree that by any name, Pops/Satchmo/Dippermouth/Louis/Louie was the best!
Yours in Pops,

First, as always, GREAT blog, and congrats on the amazing experience, Ricky.
This has come up when discussing my book, Live Like Louis (now written and being edited, by the way).
I have taken to pronouncing him Louie when telling people about the book or discussing Pops. If I pronounce it "Live Like Lewis," it is immediately offputting, and the first thing the person will say is he or she thought his name was pronounced differently. I don't want to get sidetracked or immediately put a wedge between me and an audience.
But amongst people in the know (all none of them here in Upper Michigan!) it's Lewisss. Hopefully someday I'll present to an audience who requires I pronounce it Pops' way!
Red beans and ricely yours.

Q. How many artists live in Nunavut?
A. It's estimated that there are 3,000 artists among Nunavut's population of just 28,000 people. Most of
the artists are stone carvers. Many of them are subsistence hunters who carve in order to earn money for
the fuel, bullets and equipment needed to hunt for their families.
Q. Is the arts and crafts industry a major player in Nunavut's economy?
A. Yes. It's hard to accurately gauge its full impact, however, as a number of artists sell directly to the
Q. How many art schools are there in Nunavut?
A. None. However, the Nunavut Arctic College, the territory's only college, offers a Fine Arts Program,
with everything from short courses in basketmaking to three-year programs in jewelry. Contact the
college if you would like a particular program presented in your community. NACA also looks to organize and provide training and support for people looking to share their skills with other interested artists.
Q. How did so many people in Nunavut learn to be artists if they didn't go to art school?
A. Knowledge is passed down through the generations by Inuit elders.
Being hunters also helps Inuit to be good artists. Inuit have a very close relationship with the land and
its wildlife. Until they were settled into permanent communities by the federal government in the
1950s, Inuit lived as nomadic hunters on the land. The keen observation skills of the hunter and his
intimate familiarity with the land help the artist recreate animals and the environment in his artwork.
The traditional Inuit oral culture in which stories were passed down through the ages has fostered vivid
imaginations, and this manifests itself dramatically in Nunavut artwork as well.
Q. What are the stone statues that frequently appear in Inuit art?
A. They are inuksuit, rock cairns often shaped in the form of a human. These landmarks have long dotted
the Arctic landscape. Sometimes they were created as markers to show where hunters had traveled on
the treeless tundra. In other instances, they hold spiritual significance.

The Philips technology will form the basis for the 16X DVD+R recording standard to be defined by the DVD+RW Alliance in 2004. To achieve higher recording speeds, Philips Research said they had to develop a suitable "writing strategy"—calibrating the timing and power of the laser pulses so that marks (representing digital zeros and ones, and imitating the "pits and lands" of pressed DVDs) of the correct length are created in the organic dye that forms the active layer of recordable DVDs. Doing this well becomes increasingly difficult at higher recording speeds, according to Philips, because the available time to heat up and cool down the dye at the position of a mark becomes ever shorter. Philips has developed an efficient write strategy that not only results in accurate recording results, but in addition needs only a limited number of parameters to realize it, allowing disc-drive manufacturers to implement the algorithm in a straightforward manner.
Keep in mind that the "16X" achieved here is akin to the maximum CAV speeds reached by CD recorders—that is, the recording speed increases as the laser approaches the outer edge of the disc, finally achieving full 16X at the outer edge of discs recorded to maximum capacity. Hence the diminishing returns of increased speed (4X=15 minutes, 8X=9-10 minutes, 16X=6 minutes).
The design of an accurate and stable system for tracking and focusing the laser beam to the right position on the disc was especially challenging, according to Philips. Another demanding task was the development of fast laser-driving electronics, which runs at a 420mHz clock at 16X DVD speed. Furthermore, a prototype high-power laser was utilized to achieve the recording power needed. Finally, Ricoh provided the DVD dye discs for the recording experiments. The results mark a next step in the speed race for recordable DVD. "It is generally agreed," Philips says, that 16X "is close to the ultimate limit, which is set by the highest safe rotational velocity of the polycarbonate discs." At 16X, a disc makes 180 rotations per second, corresponding to a linear velocity of 56 meters per second (over 200 km/h), while marks are burned with a precision of less than 0.05 micrometer.
Meanwhile, as Philips demonstrated 16X prototypes, drive manufacturers began to flesh out the nascent 8X DVD recording scene. Most noteworthy was Pioneer's announcement of the DVR-A07, a new dual-format DVD/CD internal writer that marks not only Pioneer's first foray into 8X recording, but the first for the DVD-R format developed by Pioneer. The DVR-A07 writes DVD-R and DVD+R discs at 8X, and writes DVD-RW and +RW discs at up to 4X speed, which makes it the first and only "8x8"—not to mention the first "4x4" for rewritables—in the DVD recording market. The drive also records CD-R and CD-RW discs at up to 24X. At press time, Pioneer expected to ship the drive in December, pending the DVD Forum's approval of 8X write speed for DVD-R and 4X write speed for DVD-RW.
Memorex has also launched a new internal dual-format drive boasting 8X recording. The new Memorex Dual-X recorder writes DVD+R discs at 8X, DVD-R discs at 4X, and CD-R discs at 40X. It also rewrites DVD+RW discs at 4X, DVD-RW discs at 4X, and CD-RW discs at 24X; read speeds are 12X for DVD-ROM and 40X for CD-ROM. Memorex bundles Roxio's digital media software suite with every Dual-X DVD Recorder. The suite includes Roxio's Easy CD & DVD Creator 6, full versions of Roxio's PhotoSuite 5 SE and VideoWave Movie Creator, and the DVDMax Player software. The Memorex 8X Dual Format DVD Recorder shipped in November at a suggested retail price of $229.99.
Unless you're the Plextor 708A, you can't do 8X DVD recording without 8X DVD recording media, and in November Verbatim Corporation debuted 8X-speed DataLifePlus 4.7GB DVD+R. Verbatim 8X DVD+R media has been tested and approved by major original equipment manufacturers of 8X burners such as BenQ, LiteOn, NEC, and Plextor. The new 8X DVD+R media is manufactured utilizing Verbatim's proprietary Ultra-Precise Molding (UPM) technology. With UPM, the deflection or tilt of the substrate is minimized so the media spins smoothly at high speeds, regardless of the type of drive. Stable rotation at high-speeds is critical to eliminate the possibility of data errors during the read/write processes. Verbatim DataLifePlus 8X DVD+R media has an estimated street price of $3.99 per disc and is available through authorized resellers and the Verbatim Web site.

The Houston Texans aren't shying away from how much they are trying to emulate the New England Patriots.
Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel cited learning to employ a flexable defense during his time under Bill Belichick.
On the offensive side of the ball, Texans coach Bill O'Brien was with the Pats from 2007 to 2011 as a wide receivers coach, quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator.
To prep for what the new offense will look like, the Texans quarterbacks are studying film of the Patriots' offense during O'Brien's stint.
"Obviously watch a lot of Patriots film and seeing how they do it," T.J. Yates said, per CSN Houston. "We're trying to mimic them right now."
It makes perfect sense for the Texans to study old Patriots film to get a grasp of the style of plays O'Brien likes to run. (Unfortunately, none of the quarterbacks in the Texans' film room is Tom Brady.)
The quarterbacks are also using the film to get a sense of the tempo O'Brien likes to run.
"Our view of tempo has evolved especially those of us who were in New England," the coach said. "We were a huddle team in New England and we were always a huddle team in New England. But then the last few years I was there we incorporated more no huddle and different tempos of no huddle."
In May, it's good for the Texans' flawed quarterbacks to study any new perspective they can get their hands on. And who doesn't like watching Brady slinging it to Rob Gronkowski?
The latest "Around The League Podcast" breaks down the news and examines developments from the first week of OTAs.

Insights and Innovations in Networking
Networking devices such as routers and switches have evolved quite a bit over the past years, both in the service provider network and in the enterprise. It is a challenge to build these devices, both from the hardware and software perspectives. It is a very competitive area, and companies are always trying to out-do each other, with the latest feature or the latest improvement to a feature, to try and win a major customer account. The field is in almost continual churn because of new protocol specifications that keep coming in from various standards organizations, and because of innovations made by networking equipment manufacturers to make their products more feature-rich, faster, more scalable and more reliable.
In my blog, I will try to talk about some of the important recent ideas and innovations in the networking area, as also some of the interesting issues that come up in architecting, designing and implementing such devices.

By Trisha Pitts, project director for the Philippines
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Ronaldo Alcordo, known to everyone as ìBong." He was the coordinator of subprojects BQ and BU in the Quezon, Philippines, project. Bong was assessing the damage caused by Typhoon Ketsana to the sponsored members in his subprojects, and contracted leptospirosis from the floodwater. Bongís wife, Nenita, is part of the correspondence team at the Quezon coordinating office. They have three children, a 6-year-old son, a 4-year-old daughter and a 6-month-old daughter.
Bong has been an integral and well-loved member of the Quezon team for a number of years, and the entire project is mourning his death. We share in this tremendous tragedy, and keep Bong, his family and the entire project in our hearts and prayers at this time.

Major Donors and Provenances (Books)
Wesleyan's library holdings, one of the University's largest capital investments, represent the activities, hopes, and visions of hundreds of donors and collection builders over more than 17 decades. The quality of an individually-built collection, resulting from a subject focus and knowledge, often enriches the library disproportionately to its quantity. Gifts of such collections, as well as of endowed funds to support a particular interest, are what gives character to an academic library, and one of SC&A's primary objectives is to provide permanent caring stewardship for these intentions.
A perennially useful feature of the 1942 Library Handbook is the chronological list of "Endowment Funds, Gifts and Special Collections in the Library." Most of these contributed to the general library holdings, but some are partially or entirely in SC&A. The following names, mostly not included in the 1942 listing, have particularly shaped the character of Wesleyan's Special Collections in the 20th century.
- George Willets Davison, class of 1892
- His rare book collection, received after his death in 1953 as well as earlier, serves as the nucleus of Wesleyan's rare books. One of Wesleyan's principal benefactors in many areas, Davison long served as president of the Trustees, Among his collecting interests were early printed books, illustrated books, fine typography, and first editions of English literature and thought.
- Albert Wheeler Johnston, class of 1893
- The donor of spectacular early atlases and remarkable examples of Americana, Johnston served as a Trustee from 1914 to 1949, leaving a lasting imprint on the Wesleyan campus through his devoted attention to its buildings and grounds. Something major should be named for him.
- Clarence Seymour Wadsworth
- A prominent Middletown resident, Colonel Wadsworth collected five thousand or more books, mostly 16th and 17th century editions of classical authors, which were presented to Wesleyan by his family in 1942.
- Frank Kirkwood Hallock, class of 1882
- A physician specializing in psychiatry and neurology and a Trustee, Dr. Hallock avidly pursued books by and about most of the leading figures in 19th-century American literature. The 1600 volumes, most of which he purchased at very small cost, were presented in the early 1930s and include many obscure editions.
- George Seymour Godard, class of 1892
- Connecticut State Librarian for a quarter of a century and a Trustee, his library of over 30,000 volumes, mostly Americana, was presented by his family in 1937 and includes many Special Collections items.
- George Bartlett Curtis, class of 1916
- His 1500 books on the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy, published from the late 16th century up to 1950, were presented by his widow and son in 1960.
- Foster Macy Johnson, class of 1921
- His 1973 gift of books and ephemera from the Kelmscott, Doves, and Ashendene Presses considerably augmented our holdings of these major influences on modern fine printing.
- E. Harold Hugo, Hon. 1970
- The longtime president and director of the standard-setting Meriden Gravure Company gave over the years numerous examples of fine typography and illustrated books from many centuries.
- Hugh Lancelot Beales
- Beales, who taught for half a century at the London School of Economics, amassed about 10,000 books and pamphlets dealing with social and economic reform in Great Britain, particularly in the 19th century. Selections from his library, which was purchased by Wesleyan in 1958, are kept in SC&A.
- Caroline Clark Barney, class of 1895
- Her 1949 bequest included her personal library of poetry and a substantial endowment for the purchase of additional poetry. During the 1960s and early 1970s the fund's accumulation allowed hundreds of splendid Special Collections acquisitions.
- Hamill & Barker
- Most of our current purchases are made through an endowment fund established in 1987 with a gift from the estates of Chicago antiquarian booksellers Frances Hamill and Margery Barker "exclusively for the acquisition or preservation of rare books and manuscripts." Longtime friends of the Wesleyan Library, Hamill & Barker wanted their money to go to several institutions where it would make a difference; it certainly has at Wesleyan.

Posted on Friday, March 23, 2012
Nearly 60 Westminster College students participated in three "Spring Break with a Purpose" work trips March 10-17. Westminster President Dr. Rick Dorman, three faculty members, staff, and alumni joined the students on the work crews.
Two groups from Westminster's chapter of Habitat for Humanity participated in Habitat's Collegiate Challenge. All of the groups were sponsored by the Westminster Chapel Office's "Spring Break with a Purpose."
"Westminster is a national leader in student involvement in community service and civic engagement," Dorman said. "Participating in a Habitat work team during spring break, I personally see how such community service augments the educational experience of our students and helps to change not only the lives of those being served, but of the students performing the service."
Dr. Jacque King, Westminster assistant professor of business and Habitat adviser, Jessica Shelenberger, adjunct English faculty, and Andy Smith, a 2009 Westminster graduate, accompanied a group of 18 students to Sumter, S.C., a new location for Westminster work teams.
Derek Burris, the group's Sumter contact and local radio show host, invited juniors Jessica Cromer, president of Westminster's Habitat chapter, and Connor Kobis to discuss Westminster and the Habitat activities.
"Both Jessica and Connor represented Westminster College and Habitat for Humanity honorably and made all of us proud to be in Sumter," King said.
King, a veteran Habitat volunteer and team leader, welcomes "the opportunity to serve others and model the way for those who want to learn how to serve others. The blessing comes when we meet the people we are building the home for and how excited they are when they talk about 'their new home.' Many times the home we help build is the first one they could ever call their own."
King summed up the experience very simply: "Many people build houses. We build homes."
Shelenberger has worked with Habitat but had never taken a trip specifically to work on one Habitat house project. She found the experience both challenging and rewarding: "While I have been on mission trips before I have never served as a leader, so I was under the false impression that my main work was to hammer, saw, and lift at the work site. I quickly recognized that my most important role was to serve the students, making sure their needs were met, whether those were physical, social, emotional, or spiritual."
Spending time with the students and the Habitat families made Shelenberger's absence from her own children - five-year-old Micah and almost-two-year-old Greta - more challenging than she had anticipated. Now that she's back home, she thinks of kids: "my kids, the Habitat kids who will soon move into the house we worked on, the Westminster 'kids' who helped lift and hammer a roof in place."
Smith, another veteran of Habitat trips both as a student and as an adviser, listed his top three reasons for continuing to volunteer.
"First, I love meeting new people," Smith said. "Second - and probably the main reason I keep coming back - these trips bring out the best in people. By the end of the week, we've formed a strong team that supports and cares for one another. Finally, there is always the excitement of new places. No matter where we go, we get to see the beauty of where we are in the warm welcome from the people who help to shelter and feed us. They are always enthusiastic about sharing their culture and are never shy about their gratitude."
The second Habitat group of 17 students returned to Raleigh, N.C., at the invitation of Wake County Habitat for Humanity's volunteer coordinator. According to Carey Anne M. LaSor, Westminster assistant to the chaplain, the affiliate had never extended a return invitation to any group before.
"What an honor!" LaSor said. "That is a telling fact: Westminster has a reputation and it is an incredible one."
The group was led by LaSor; Dorman; Katie Gray, a 2011 Westminster graduate now serving as Pennsylvania Campus Compact Volunteer in Service to America in Westminster's Drinko Center for Experiential Learning; and Brad Weaver, Westminster broadcast and digital communications lecturer, and was again hosted by the Ebenezer United Methodist Church.
Wake County Habitat, a large and very active affiliate, is involved in construction, deconstruction, recycling for the city of Raleigh, and has a very large ReStore. The Westminster team worked at four sites, providing an opportunity to learn all the ways Habitat works.
"I think I can say with assurance that each of these students was surprised at how good it feels to know how to use a hammer, how to level a board, to understand how a house goes together, and to be really, really tired - a good kind of tired," LaSor said.
Gray, who was a student on last year's Raleigh trip, was excited to return after that experience.
"I appreciated the opportunity to serve as a leader as opposed to being a student," Gray said. "I was familiar with some of the work that went into coordinating the trip and some of the everyday organization, but it was great to be part of that and to help where and when I was needed."
The third trip returned to Edisto Island, S.C., to paint and put a roof on the Bethlehem United Methodist and Episcopal Church. The group included 20 students; the Rev. Jim Mohr, Westminster chaplain; Robin Gooch, Westminster alumna and member of the Board of Trustees; and volunteer Angie Mohr, Jim's daughter who works with Cray Youth and Family Services in New Castle.
"At least half of my team had never participated in a work trip before," said Jim Mohr, who, like King and LaSor, is a veteran of many work trips. "We provide an opportunity for our teams to grow through education, service (building, developing relationships, and learning the fine art of giving of one's self), and spiritual growth."
Gooch serves on the Board of Trustees' Church Relations and Spiritual Life Committee. She saw the trip as an opportunity to be involved with a mission trip and to connect with a large number of students for an extended period.
"I hoped to bring a few skills to the group," Gooch said. "Little did I know I would receive so much more than I could ever give. Without exception, the students impressed me with their energy, generosity, and commitment to the mission as they worked as a team to help achieve goals for the lovely people of Edisto. Without a doubt, Christian kindness, through example, lived every day of our journey."
A new element of this year's trips was the addition of students from Weaver's Broadcast Journalism class, who were required to participate not only in the service projects but also as reporters and producers. The result of their efforts will be compiled in a video that is expected to premiere April 25 at Westminster's Undergraduate Research and Arts Celebration.
Senior Hannah Paczkowski had been on service trips with her church from middle-school age through high school. "The best lesson is to expect the unexpected. I didn't expect to enjoy myself as much as I did and found this experience not only sharpened my broadcasting skills, but also my faith."
Junior Ashley Durham initially looked at the trip as "just another project that I had to complete" but one that "ended up being such a wonderful experience."
"Getting to know all those wonderful people while completing service for a good cause was an unexpected reward," Durham said. "Documenting it every day for the camera heightened the experience."
Westminster has earned President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll recognition every year since the program was launched in 2006. More than 1,200 Westminster students volunteered nearly 30,000 hours last academic year (2010-2011) through academic service-learning or other community service.

William Levis Judson-Lois Elderkin Warren, Wedding Invitation, 01 Dec 1914; privately held by Herstoryan, Houston, Texas. 2009
- This is the article published in the Society section of the Fort Worth Record newspaper Dec 2, 1914 highlighting the marriage of Willam Levis Judson to Lois Elderkin Warren.
One of the most beautiful weddings that has ever taken place in the Westbrook was that of Miss Lois Elderkin Warren and Mr. William Levis Judson, which was solemnized Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Warren [Murray Heller Warren] of Mexico City and a former student of the university here. During the time that Mr. Warren and his family resided here Miss Warren won a host of friends through her charming personality and beautiful character. Mr. Judson is a prominent young business man of Tampico, Mexico, being in the oil business there. He is formerly of Toledo, Ohio.
The mezzanine floor of the Westbrook was a beautiful array of yellow and green, these being the colors carried out in the decorations and wedding gowns of the bridal party. In the rose room the table which held the heart-shaped wedding cake was surrounded by a mass of ferns, and the cake was in a bed of maiden hair ferns, yellow chrysanthemums and jonquils, making a floral mound in the center of the room. In the corners were large growing ferns and palms, and the small table bore a cut glass vase of chrysanthemums and ferns. On the long serving boards, covered in white were dainty sprays of maiden hair fern.
Unually attractive and artistic were the parlors of the place of ceremony and reception. The pillars of the mezzanine floor were draped in smilax, intermingled with wall baskets of chrysanthemums, and the lights on them were tied with large bows of white tulle. Concealing the reception suite from the view of the lobby were immense palms and ferns on the balcony rails. The archway underwhich the ceremony was performed, was an elaborate one of greenery and chrysanthemums. The entire ceiling was hidden in smilax, and the doors were intwined with smilax and sprays of fern. In the background of this beautiful spot a mass of greenery of palms, over which were sprigs of smilax, and on each side of the altar were backets of yellow chrysanthemums. The bride and groom knelt on pillows of white satin, which were placed on the white carpeted platform. The effect of the temporary altar was beautiful.
As Mr. Wood played Lohengrin's wedding march the groom and his best man, Mr. Ben Allen of Fort Worth, entered from the right of the altar, then passed in front and awaited the bride and her party. Then, from the left, came Miss Marie Van Zandt of Mexico City, who was maid of honor. She was followed by the flower girl, little Miss Josephine Berryman, a neice of the bride, scattering rose petals for her to tread upon. The bride entered on the arm of her father, Mr. M. H. Warren. They were followed by Mrs. A. H. Berryman [Mrs. O.H. Berryman (Blanche Warren)] and Mrs. M. H. Warren Jr. [Mary Temple Mentz] sisters of the bride, who entered together. Then the mother of the groom, Mrs. L. J. Judson [Lewis James Judson (Helen Julia Hogue)] of Toledo, Ohio and the mother of the bride, Mrs. M. H. Warren [Ida Lois Elderkin] entered together, and the ladies of the party stood at each side of the temporary aisle, while the maid of honor and the father of the bride stood at the left of the altar, and the best man and little flower girl at the right, during the ceremony.
The marriage vows were very impressive, with Rev. Dr. B. B. Ramage of St. Andrew's parish performing the double ring ceremony.
The bride wore an elaborate wedding gown of white duchess satin with court train, lined with maline. It was of Greek design, with draperies from the shoulders, on which were bands of pearls. In the bodice, the neck and long sleeves were of tulle, and at the waist line was an ornament of pearls. At the back of the bodice was a flat bow of satin. The bottom of the skirt was of silk tulle, on which were rows of pearls. Her veil was of silk tulle, worn cap fashion, draped over the face and shoulders, with a string of pearls at the front, and caught with orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of bride roses and lillies of the valley. Her only ornament was a bar of pearls and diamonds, the gift of the groom.
Mrs. A. H. Berryman was gowned in orange taffeta, with an overdress of net embroidered in silver. The bodice was a basque effect of blue velvet which formed the girdle, reaching to the neck of blue tulle. The draperies were of black net and trimmings of pearls. She wore a hair ornament of blue tulle and aigrettes.
Mrs. M. H. Warren Jr. wore a handsome gown of salmon pink charmeuse with girdle of pink satin. The bodice was draped in real lace over the shoulders and girdle. In her hair she wore a band of brillants.
Miss Marie Van Zandt, maid of honor, was attired in a gorgeous creation of delicate green. The foundation was of rich satin, with overdraperies of silver lace. She carried an immense bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums tied with tulle. Her hair ornament was a bird of paradise.
Mrs. M. H. Warren, mother of the bride, wore a beautiful gown of imported silver gray chiffon of Enterlocken embroidery. The bodice was of lace with a wide girdle of crepe meteor. She wore an aigrette in her hair. Mrs. L. J. Judson, mother of the groom, was attired in an elaborate gown of black charmeuse with overdress of real lace, en train. A black paradise bird was her hair ornament and at the girdle of her gown she wore a crimson rose.
Little Miss Josephine Berryman, the flower girl, was dressed in a beautiful French frock of embroidery, with trimmings of white satin rosettes at the waist and neck, and her hair was tied with a butterfly bow of white ribbon. She wore a crescent pin of blue enamel and chip diamonds.
After the ceremony a reception was held in the beautifully decorated reception suite and a four-course luncheon was served to the guests. The bride cut the wedding cake, which also was served. During the reception, Mr. Wood played a number of piano selections.
Immediantly after the reception, Mr. and Mrs. Judson left for Chicago, Boston, New York, and other eastern points. After December 15 they will be at home in Tampico, Mexico where Mr. Judson is a prominent business man in oil concerns.
The bride's going away suit was of velvet trimmed in mink fur and jet. She carried a mink muff and her hat was of velvet, with monkey fur and bird of paradise.
