In collecting, arranging, editing, and preserving the "Songs of the Cattle Trail and Cow Camp," my friend John Lomax has performed a real service to American literature and to America. No verse is closer to the soil than this; none more realistic in the best sense of that much-abused word; none more truly interprets and expresses a part of our national life. To understand and appreciate these lyrics one should hear Mr. Lomax talk about them and sing them; for they were made for the voice to pronounce and for the ears to hear, rather than for the lamplit silence of the library. They are as oral as the chants of Vachel Lindsay; and when one has the pleasure of listening to Mr. Lomax--who loves these verses and the men who first sang them--one reconstructs in imagination the appropriate figures and romantic setting.
For nothing is so romantic as life itself. None of our illusions about life is so romantic as the truth. Hence the purest realism appeals to the mature imagination more powerfully than any impossible prettiness can do. The more we _know_ of individual and universal life, the more we are excited and stimulated.
And the collection of these poems is an addition to American Scholarship as well as to American Literature. It was a wise policy of the Faculty of Harvard University to grant Mr. Lomax a traveling fellowship, that he might have the necessary leisure to discover and to collect these verses; it is really "original research," as interesting and surely as valuable as much that passes under that name; for it helps every one of us to understand our own country.
Yale University, July 27, 1919.
"Look down, look down, that weary road, 'Tis the road that the sun goes down."
"'Twas way out West where the antelope roam, And the coyote howls 'round the cowboy's home, Where the mountains are covered with chaparral frail, And the valleys are checkered with the cattle trail, Where the miner digs for the golden veins, And the cowboy rides o'er the silent plains,--"
The "Songs of the Cattle Trail and Cow Camp" does not purport to be an anthology of Western verse. As its title indicates, the contents of the book are limited to attempts, more or less poetic, in translating scenes connected with the life of a cowboy. The volume is in reality a by-product of my earlier collection, "Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads." In the former book I put together what seemed to me to be the best of the songs created and sung by the cowboys as they went about their work. In making the collection, the cowboys often sang or sent to me songs which I recognized as having already been in print; although the singer usually said that some other cowboy had sung the song to him and that he did not know where it had originated. For example, one night in New Mexico a cowboy sang to me, in typical cowboy music, Larry Chittenden's entire "Cowboys' Christmas Ball"; since that time the poem has often come to me in manuscript form as an original cowboy song. The changes--usually, it must be confessed, resulting in bettering the verse--which have occurred in oral transmission, are most interesting. Of one example, Charles Badger Clark's "High Chin Bob," I have printed, following Mr. Clark's poem, a cowboy version, which I submit to Mr. Clark and his admirers for their consideration.
In making selections for this volume from a large mass of material that came into my ballad hopper while hunting cowboy songs as a Traveling Fellow from Harvard University, I have included the best of the verse given me directly by the cowboys; other selections have come in through repeated recommendation of these men; others are vagrant verses from Western newspapers; and still others have been lifted from collections of Western verse written by such men as Charles Badger Clark, Jr., and Herbert H. Knibbs. To these two authors, as well as others who have permitted me to make use of their work, the grateful thanks of the collector are extended. As will be seen, almost one-half of the selections have no assignable authorship. I am equally grateful to these unknown authors.
All those who found "Cowboy Songs" diverting, it is believed, will make welcome "The Songs of the Cattle Trail and Cow Camp." Many of these have this claim to be called songs: they have been set to music by the cowboys, who, in their isolation and loneliness, have found solace in narrative or descriptive verse devoted to cattle scenes. Herein, again, through these quondam songs we may come to appreciate something of the spirit of the big West--its largeness, its freedom, its wholehearted hospitality, its genuine friendship. Here again, too, we may see the cowboy at work and at play; hear the jingle of his big bell spurs, the swish of his rope, the creaking of his saddle gear, the thud of thousands of hoofs on the long, long trail winding from Texas to Montana; and know something of the life that attracted from the East some of its best young blood to a work that was necessary in the winning of the West. The trails are becoming dust covered or grass grown or lost underneath the farmers' furrow; but in the selections of this volume, many of them poems by courtesy, men of today and those who are to follow, may sense, at least in some small measure, the service, the glamour, the romance of that knight-errant of the plains--the American cowboy.
The University of Texas, Austin, July 9, 1919.
As the frosty edge of morning seemed to melt and spread and change?
When I saw the man we wanted spur his pony to the ford.
And God knows I wished to warn him, for I once had called him friend.
Call me coward? But I hailed him--"Riding close to daylight, Dan!"
Back across the sunlit Rio up the trail on which he came.
As the water cleared and sparkled in the shallows of the ford.
"Hello, Gil!" and "Hello, Pete!" "How do you think you feel?"
"Drinks are mine. Come fall in, boys; crowd up on the right.
Here's happy days and honey joys. I'm going to dance tonight."
Going blind with bridle loose every inch of space.
Up above the women laugh; down below is gin.
Broncho Bill is shaved and slick, all his throat is bare.
Round and round with Belle McClure he whirls a dizzy spin.
Jim Kershaw, the gambler, waits,--white his hands and slim.
Bill whispers, "Belle, you know it well; it is me or him.
It is either you or me must travel down to hell."
Jim put his arm around her waist, her graceful waist and slim.
Don't you hear the banjo laugh? Hear the fiddles scream?
Broncho Bill leaned at the door, watched the twirling stream.
Twenty fiends were at his heart snarling, "Kill him sure."
(Out of hell that woman came.) "I love you, Belle McClure."
Broncho Bill, he laughed and chewed and careless he did seem.
The dance is done. Shots crack as one. The crowd shoves for the door.
Broncho Bill is lying there and blood upon the floor.
Mine the soul that here tonight is passing down to hell.
And I must ride the trail alone. Goodbye to Belle McClure."
Upstairs still the dance goes on, all the lamps are bright.
Laugh, and chaff and merry spin--such a little spot.
Broncho Bill has come to town and danced his dance tonight.
By a hoss from Idaho.
An' I'll break this thing as easy as I'd flirt."
Would have owned the brag was fair.
Someone hand me up the makin's of a smoke.
An' spur it up an' quirt it till it's broke."
You would know I broke such rabbits by the gross.
So I'm off to bust the lightnin'--Adios!"
I'm a broncho twistin' wonder on the fly.
We're a-rippin' clouds to flinders.
If this blue-eyed darlin' kicks at you, you die."
I'm the last of all rough riders, and the best.
Huh! are you the greatgrandchildren of the West?"
On a hoss that would leave him out er sight.
If a man in the outfit had any dust.
He'd bet his machine against my hoss.
In the softest snap I had ever struck.
Fer testin' a hosses prettiest speed.
Stayed back fer to give us an even start.
Then bronc began fer to lose his gait.
Of a tenderfoot gainin' every jump.
I seen he wasn't no ten-mile hoss.
An' pulled away from the wheel galoot.
He'd own that hoss at the end of the trip.
An' as fresh as a daisy scooted away.
Like a vaporous snicker along his track.
That same keerless, onconsarned smile on his face.
An' how long he'd practiced that wheel-rollin' game.
From a town they call Bosting, in old Yankeedom.
An' I tell you it warn't no diminutive loss.
O' the ranch where the cussed wheel hosses are bred.
Her whole darned _tout ensemble_ was painful for to view!
As but a po' white's daughter down in the Lone Star State.
And poets never called her an uncut Texas pearl.
And pull the ancient wagon when pap'd go to town.
As walked she in the furrows behind that lop-eared team.
Would never shake and tremble from brayings of a mule.
But yesterday we saw her dressed up in gorgeous style!
A half a dozen fellows were basking in her smile!
Great sparkling, flashing brilliants that hung as frozen tears!
Was tuned to new-born music, as sweet as Siren's song!
Her tall and lanky father, one knows as "Sleepy Jim,"
Each in the hope that some day he'll call him dad-in-law.
Had rested there for ages above a flow of oil?
And roped him 'round his meal.
And Bob caught up the slack.
_"Oh, glory be to me," laughs he.
"We hit the glory trail.
And glory drove him on.
_"Oh, glory be to me," sighs he.
Yelled out a crazy song.
"And to my noble noose!
 Pronounced by the natives "muggy-yones."
But High Chin Bob of sinful pride and maverick-hungry rope.
That top horse gave a snort and whirled and Bob took up the slack.
"Oh, glory be to me!" says he, "we'll hit the glory trail.
Till I shall tell the tale."
But pride still glued him to his hoss and glory spurred him on.
"Oh, glory be to me!" says he, "this glory trail is rough!
A red-eyed lion, belly roped, but healthy, loped behind!
"Oh, glory be to me," says Bob, "he caint be drug to death!
To the end of mortal breath."
"Oh, glory be to me!" says he, "and to my mighty noose.
And if I didn't lay him low, I never turned him loose!"
The circus had come to town!
Shows didn't come every night!
And some that were very sad.
Was "making up" his face.
With a cradle at her feet.
The "property baby" was gone!
It must have been left behind!"
"I must take you, little Ben."
"You'll be very careful, dear?"
How tenderly it was said!
What a smile shone through the chalk and paint!
"I love each hair of his head!"
"You'll hold him as if he were made of glass?"
Said the clown to the pantaloon.
"I've a couple myself," he said.
"I know how to handle 'em, bless you!
When he suddenly laughed aloud.
With, "Boys, it's the real thing."
The baby that was alive!
And chuckled, "Look at that!"
Then, "Boys, hand round the hat!"
Because they don't wear coats.
And then, "Three cheers for the baby!"
Was enough to raise the tent.
It's time it was put to bed."
Flocked out into the night.
"He wasn't a bit afraid!
He's as game as he's good-looking!
Boys, that was a show that _paid_!"
And it's my night to hollow--Whoo-pee!
The rule goes here no sweetnin' 'lowed.
When it's my night to hollow--Whoo-pee!
I found poor Dempsey's grave.
To this desert of the dead.
Over poor Jack Dempsey's grave.
In the wilds of Oregon.
That fills poor Dempsey's grave.
In wilds, in woods, in weeds?
Its "bravest of the brave,"

Young at 90, But Touching Lives Daily
People at the Guild of Service have many a story to tell: stories that would make hardened pessimists tear up ever-so-slightly. On the 90th anniversary of one of the oldest service organisations in the country, the Guild of Service, which was founded in Chennai, had some of its beneficiaries talk to Amritha K R and share their compelling stories
Published: 20th February 2014 07:36 AM | Last Updated: 20th February 2014 07:37 AM | A+A A-
By Amritha K R
Meet A Antony, one of the city's successful industrialists. Antony, who has had a factory at the Ambattur Industrial Estate for three decades, is among the top donors of several charity organisations in the city.
But when one sees Antony in his Honda City with a serene smile, one can hardly imagine that he used to be a crippled teenage boy crawling through the streets of Chennai, arms outstretched for a stray paisa or two that would drop by. "Chengalpet station used to be my headquarters," he says with a smile. "I was just a teenager when my stepmother asked me to earn money. I had never been to school and I could hardly walk. I tried selling lottery tickets but I realized people would rather give me a coin than buy the soiled tickets I held in my mouth – I used both hands to crawl.
It was when he was eighteen and begging at the airport, that a member of the Guild of Service found him and gave him her address. By then Antony had a history of begging and jail time. "I came to the Seva Samajam Boys Home at 10 am on a Wednesday in November 1975," recalls Antony perfectly. It was there that life changed. He was no longer a cripple on the streets. He soon excelled in every skill taught to him and in 1978, was selected for a medal from the President of India.
Soon he was employed in a range of jobs, from running canteens to training disabled women, before he started his own factory with a sum of `1,000 in 1983 – Jayam Metals — a venture that is now booming.
I have no recollection of how I came to Chennai. I was 6 years old, alone, hungry and wandering on the streets when a kind Samaritan found me and took me to Seva Samajam Children's Home," says J Saleem.
Saleem could not mix with his fellow mates at the Home as he did not even understand their language, but he made them his family. "I only knew Hindi and Urdu when I first came to Chennai. I found it difficult to understand and study in school. My friends, who soon became my brothers and sisters, would patiently sit with me after school every evening and teach me Tamil and help me study," he recalls.
He was soon enrolled in an English medium school. By the time he was in his early twenties he had already turned his ambition into a reality. He became a Chef at the Chola Sheraton hotel in Chennai.
But Saleem had to resign from his position due to a chest allergy and wheezing. That has not stopped the young man, though. "On hearing of my resignation, Amma (his mentor at the home, Jayalakshmi Narayanaswami) called me and asked me to help out at the Children's Home and School. I happily started looking after the school administration and liaising with government agencies. After seeing my involvement and hard work, Amma appointed me as the Children's Home's Child Welfare Officer and PRO," he says.
Parlour queen
When she was 5 years old, mentally challenged Suganthi had more to face than perfectly healthy adults. The sudden death of her mother, the re-marriage of her father and the disappearance of her brother exacerbated the mental condition she was born with. And to top it all off, the little girl had neither friends nor family to turn to.
That didn't stop her from achieving her goals. At 23, Suganthi earns her bread, cares for her husband and family and is a proud mother.
Most of her life has been spent in the Bala Vihar Hostel in Kilpauk, the place where she says she learnt everything in life. "From learning to read ABCD to getting trained as a beautician, every bit of my learning came from Guild of Service. Even my wedding was arranged by them," she says.
It was Suganthi's teacher who noted her interest in hairstyling, when she tried out new hairstyles for her friends. Eventually, she was enrolled in a beauty salon as a helper where she was trained. The staff at the salon were not exactly welcoming in the beginning, but her hard work and her eagerness to learn soon won them out.
Today, Suganthi works as a beautician at a popular parlour in the city.
When she dropped out of college in her first year of graduation, C Prabhavathi's dreams hardly went beyond the limits of her house. It was two years after living as a housewife that Prabhavathi heard about Nutrition-on-Wheels (N-O-W), the women's vocational training scheme organised by GOS. Always someone who was eager to learn new things, Prabhavathi jumped in to make the best of the opportunity. Prabhavathi enrolled as a trainee in the first batch of the 'Hair and Beauty Therapy' course conducted by N-O-W in 1993. Twenty years down the line, Prabhavathi runs three beauty parlours in the city, a fitness centre, provides customized wedding costumes, jewellery and gifts for weddings and above all, trains disadvantaged women in a range of vocational courses.
"The work goes on day-in and day-out – be it my business or my house work. But there is no stopping because I derive my happiness out of working. Every time a new course comes through, be it embroidery or jewellery designing, I am eager to learn more and add them to my business. But it all started with that one course at the GOS. I got a job immediately after the course and earned `20,000. With that money I got myself trained in every course available. There was no stopping after that," she says.
Tech dreams
Born to construction labourers in Maduravoyal, Sasikala was among the brightest students in her class. But for her parents, paying fees for a decent school when they had to feed a five-member family was not always the easiest thing to do. It was in 2006 that the family heard about the GOS' Family Assistance Scheme through their relative. "The financial help meant that she continued in a good school and got all benefits, including extra tuitions. She passed school with marks that were good enough to enroll her in a good college," says her proud father, M L Chandran. After completing her B E in Electronics & Communication in June 2013, Sasikala was placed in Wipro Technologies and she has been working there since June 2013.

Luxul Networking Review
by Mark Anderson for | Dec 1, 2012 | Home Networking
Over the past several years I've been through at least one consumer-grade router from most of the major manufacturers (Cisco-formerly LinkSys, Netgear, D-Link, etc.). The best experiences I've had to date are 3rd party firmware builds such as DD-WRT and the Apple AirPort Extreme (5th Gen), which is my current router.
Current Setup
My current network infrastructure comprises:
Comcast Xfinity internet (30MB/sec up and 6MB/sec down)
Office: 8-port gigabit switch
AV Rack and first floor: 24-port gigabit switch
Second floor: 8-port gigabit switch
The Airport Extreme is, for the most part, adequate for my needs. It's a dual-band router, so I can put a lot of stuff on the 5GHz band. I have a small house (basement plus two floors of about 1000 square feet each). That said, I live in Chicago so all electrical cable in is rigid metal conduit, which doesn't help with wireless stuff. There are several things I dislike about the AirPort Extreme router though:
Requires an app to configure it. Come on Apple: everyone else uses web-based tools. I change my computing hardware very frequently and it's always a pain finding I don't have the AirPort utility on my platform du jour. (Fortunately, there is now an iOS apps let me do some things, but with way too much swiping and clicking.)
DHCP Ranges limited to 256 addresses. I recently changed to a class B (172.x/16) address and was surprised to find Apple only lets you change the third segment on the DHCP range start: I'd chosen 172.27 as my network number. In the range start.
I entered 172.27.1.1 and the range end, the first three segments were hard-coded to 172.27.1.x: limiting me to 256 addresses. What's the point in a class B address when you can only specify 256 DHCP addresses. I'm sure Apple would love me to go out and buy another AirPort extreme to add another 256. I don't need more than 256 addresses–yet (I'm sure that in coming years, everything with a power cord or a battery will have an IP, so I will), but I wanted to have easy to remember ranges for groups of stuff. Server on 172.27.1.x, Media players/servers on 172.27.2, Home Automation devices on 172.27.3, etc.
No VPN server
No DynDNS support. I used to have a static IP. But switched to DynDNS to save me $15 plus tax a month.
When I got the opportunity to review Luxul equipment, I jumped at the chance. Luxul deliver highly reliable solutions for use in the most demanding network deployments—ranging from residential and commercial LANs and WLANs to mobile Wi-Fi connectivity in heavy industrial and military applications. The equipment I reviewed (an XBR-2300 and XAP-1020) is representative of an installation in a typical residence or small business: a very large property may need additional access points.
Luxul Hardware
Many consumers buy a single Wi-Fi Router/Switch device. While this conserves space, its location can severely impact W-Fi performance. I have all my equipment rack mounted in the basement, which is probably the worst place in the house to put a Wi-Fi router: it's the furthest point from most places you'd want Wi-Fi and is surrounded by a ton of metal and electromagnetic interference.
As my review configuration comprised a router and separate wireless access point, splitting the Wi-Fi access point from the router, allows me to rack mount the router in the basement where my cable comes in and locate the Wi-Fi access point on one of the upper floors where it would provide optimal coverage.
Unfortunately, Luxul products can only be purchased from authorized dealers.
XBR-2300 – Luxul Xen™ Enterprise Dual-WAN Router
2 WAN Ports, 3 LAN Ports (10/100Base-T)
Advanced Firewall Features
In-Bound and Out-Bound Load Balancing
IP Address, Domain Name, MAC Address Filtering
Failover Between WAN Lines
Built in VPN Server
QoS via Bandwidth Control Settings
Simple XenConnect™ Plug and Play
Intuitive XenSmart™ Management
Configuration Backup, Recovery and Reset
Simple Optimization with Downloadable Configuration Options
Desktop or Rack-Mountable Metal Case
XAP-1020 – Luxul Xen™ High Performance Low Profile 802.11n Wireless Access Point
Patented Xen3D™ Technology delivering 4 times the coverage of traditional Wi-Fi equipment
Highest FCC Approved Performance (Effective EIRP 36dBm)
18dB of Receive Gain Increases Client Device Network Sensitivity
2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n Compliant
QoS Functionality
Enhanced Multi-Level Security
Up to 8 SSIDs and Support for VLAN Tagging
Single Cable Installation with POE (injector included for non-POE installations)
Easy Setup through Web-based XenSmart™ User Interface
Initial Impressions
Both devices seem to be well constructed and are aesthetically pleasing. The XAP in particular, is quite stylish, The XBR-2300 comes complete with rack mount ears, which most professional installers would require. The XAP-1020 is equipped with a wall/ceiling mount bracket as well as keyhole slots for flush mounting.
The XAP-1020 uses a Circular Polarized directional antenna technology. For maximum efficiency, it should be aimed towards the area to which you would like to provide coverage. With this in mind, the ideal placement option is usually on an outside wall pointed into the coverage area; or in a multi-level installation, on the top floor ceiling pointed downwards. In my case, I ceiling mounted it in the second floor hallway facing down.
For those looking for easy setup, it's as simple as plugging in the router, running an Ethernet cable and power (if not using POE) from the router to the access point. The access point automatically connects to the router and acquires an IP address. I was up and running in less than 10 minutes. Obviously, changing security settings and configuring port-forwarding and VPN access takes quite some time after this. In all, it took me about an hour from start to finish, but I have a lot of port-forwarding setup and I configured the VPN server too.
For those wishing to modify the setup, a web-based interface is provided.
What I Liked About the XBR-2300
On the whole, I liked the product a lot. Rather than run through every single feature (as these are found on many devices), I'll mention the ones that really stood out.
Dual WAN Ports
The dual-WAN ports is a very useful feature for those who need a guaranteed connection or can't bare to be without streaming if their cable dies. One can subscribe to cable for their primary service and DSL as a backup. The router can be configured in 3 modes:
Auto Load balancing – The system searches for the WAN port with the lowest usage and automatically distributes load accordingly. This load balancing mode automatically manages flow distribution and bandwidth overlap. By virtue this also provides automatic failover if the one the connections fails.
Automatic Failover – Users can choose a WAN port (WAN1 or WAN2), as the primary connection, while making the other port a backup connection. The XBR-2300 will automatically switch to the backup connection when the primary connection has an interruption in service. This mode would typically be used when the backup connection should not be used in normal service (for example, there are tariff charges associated with uses—such as ISDN/X.25).
IP Group – This mode allows for the control of bandwidth provided to groups of client devices. When using this mode, specific IP address ranges are placed in groups and assigned to a particular port (WAN1 or WAN2). The source address, destination address, and destination port are all specified. All data packets included in the defined range are then processed by the selected WAN interface. All data packets that are not included in the defined range are forwarded to the other WAN interface.
There two key features here.
Two routers can establish a WAN connection over a VPN tunnel, by making one a VPN server and the other its client.
The VPN server can be used for remote clients to connect. I used this feature heavily during testing and it dramatically reduced the no of ports that I was required to forward. The advantage of a VPN, of course, is that once connected, I have access to everything. In contrast, without VPN, I would have to setup ort forwarding for every device and service combination I wanted to access.
For those who unable to obtain static IP's from their ISP or just don't feel like paying $15/month for the privilege, here are a plethora of services out there that will track changes in your routers DHCP assigned address. In order for these to function, something on the local network needs to monitor the local WAN address and notify the DDNS service provider on change. I chose DynDNS.org for my test and it worked like a charm.
What I Liked about the XAP-1020
For optimal performance, the access point should be located in the correct location. It's likely that this could be somewhere visible in the main living space. Fortunately, the device is quite stylish and won't look like an eye-sore.
Eight Wireless Profiles
This allows eight separate SSID's to be configured. Each can have different encryption methods, passphrases and VLAN assignment.
VLAN Support
VLAN's allow traffic from different networks from interfering with each other. For example, in a large property all the wireless control panels may be on their own VLAN to keep their traffic separate from other traffic. In a business environment, VLAN's are typically used for security (e.g. isolate the financial department from other VLAN's). A managed switch is required for VLAN use. (VLAN support is currently not fully supported. Support will complete in the new firmware release version 3.1 early this year.)
Channel Width Selection
If all devices are capable of supporting 40MHz channels, this can be selected and will either use channels 1 and 6 or 6 and 11.
POE Support
Running a network cable to an access point location is simple enough, but running power is typically a costly affair, as it requires an electrician. You also probably don't want a power outlet near the ceiling, so the support for POE (Power over Ethernet) is very welcome.
Testing against an internal copy of SpeedTest running on my LAN yielded a very respectable 37.78Mbps download and 40.17Mbps upload: fast enough for the most ardent streamers.
What's Missing?
The main thing is 5GHz support. I have several Apple devices that support 5Ghz channels. This frequency band is (so far) uncluttered. Below are the Wi-F networks within range of my house on the 5GHz and much more crowded 2.4GHz bands.
In my case, it's not a big deal, but the nearest property is 20 feet way, In an apartment/condo complex it's a different matter.
With the increasing demands placed on networks (even residential ones) these days, investing in commercial-grade networking is a sound decision. I wish I could charge consulting to my friends who went to a big box store and bought the consumer products on offer or took what their ISP offered and then called me because their streaming quality was dreadful or they couldn't get a Wi-Fi signal in parts of the house. The configuration I reviewed is more than adequate for a typical house or small business. What's also really nice about Luxul, is that if I need multiple access points (indoors or out), or a connection to a remote building, they have a solution available. In a nutshell, I'd highly recommend the products.

Police Blotter | 'Banana bandit still on the loose'; tailgating driver points gun, turns self in; NOT drunk at the Dairy Freeze
May 1, 2018 by Danna McCall Leave a Comment
Here are a few of the calls the Snoqualmie Police Department responded to in North Bend and Snoqualmie last week:
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES | SATTERLEE AVE SE, Snoqualmie
On April 21st around 11:15PM, a caller reported that two men had come to their front porch and attempted to open the door to get inside. When they couldn't, they walked to their neighbor's house. It turned out that it was just friends of their neighbors and they had gone to the wrong house by mistake.
MALICIOUS MISCHIEF REPORT | PINEHURST AVE SE, Snoqualmie
On April 24th around 9:15AM, a caller reported that their house had been "banana-ed" overnight— several bananas were thrown onto the roof of their home. There was no damage seen. An officer reported, "Banana bandit still on the loose, no suspects."
WEAPONS OFFENSE | I-90 & SNOQUALMIE PARKWAY, Snoqualmie
On April 24th around 1:10PM, a caller reported that a man who had been tailgating her on the freeway pulled out a gun and pointed it at her. The caller got off the freeway and parked near the Snoqualmie Parkway to call the police. Officers did a diligent check of the Snoqualmie area, but were unable to locate the subject.
FOLLOW-UP WEAPONS OFFENSE | SNOQUALMIE POLICE DEPARTMENT, Snoqualmie
On April 24th around 2:15PM, in reference to the above call, the subject came into the police department with his attorney to turn himself in for pointing the gun at the female driver. He brought the weapon with him (in his car) and was non-threatening. King Country Sheriffs Deputies arrived. After interviewing the victim and determining that she wished to press charges, they took the subject into custody.
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES | SCOTTS DAIRY FREEZE, North Bend
On April 24th around 9:50PM, an employee called to report a man banging on the doors. The subject then went into his car and passed out in the front seat. There was alcohol visible in the seat next to him. Police arrived and administered a blood alcohol test but found that he had no alcohol in his system— the can of Miller Light in the seat next to him was unopened.
THEFT REPORT | QFC, North Bend
On April 25th around 6:50AM, a caller reported that someone stole their backpack while it was unattended. The thief turned out to be a known subject who took a tablet and two knives from the backpack. All items were recovered by the employee, who was unwilling to assist with prosecution. The subject was trespassed from QFC for one year.
THEFT REPORT | SAFEWAY, Snoqualmie
On April 27th around 4:50PM, an employee reported that a juvenile stole a beer from the store. An officer reported the theft stated it was "A bottle of Old English 800. $4.00 value."

nTitle, a game marketplace built on the Ethereum peer-to-peer network, announced their sponsorship deal with Team Dutch Gaming (TDG).
TDG is an up-and-coming esports team with some of the most talented players around. The esports sector is one of the fastest growing and most exciting in the entertainment industry, so this partnership is therefore considered the ideal partnership to demonstrate both the benefits of TDG and nTitle.
Professional esports players are considered top influencers in the gaming industry and nTitle wants to help them leverage their status via our bcommerce solutions. Bcommerce will allow influencers, such as Team Dutch Gaming's players, to earn commission via referrals on game sales and in-game item sales. Finally, game developers will be able to reward the influencers for helping promote the games they love, whilst also opening up additional revenue streams for all parties.
"We look forward to helping TDG fulfil their great potential as a top esports team, while TDG will help promote nTitle's soon to be released blockchain-based racing game, nTitle Fury. Lots of exciting projects are in the pipeline for nTitle and TDG, so stay tuned and see you soon!" said nTitle.
nTitle develops decentralised blockchain commerce (bcommerce) software on the Ethereum blockchain that gives independent game developers the tools to sell at the point of discovery, connect with gamers & influencers and incentivise them to promote games. The company is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and has an office in Krakow, Poland – both areas are considered the leading blockchain hubs in Europe.


If you ask me, the target demographic for this device is much older than the typical tech segment. I would be willing to guess that the average age of an iPad user will be in the mid 40s. I am sure there will be a lot of young people buying it, but I also think it will be a fantastic device for grandmas and grandpas. Think about it, a device that is super easy to use, is light weight, and handles basic computing needs. It also has some great additional features built right in.

Q: OPENLAYERS 6 how to get the bounds of several kml file How can i get the bounds of several kml file ?
i can get easely for one kml file but i am a little be lost ... to get the bounds of all kml file who are in the map ...
here is the code (write in php file context)
at first i define the kml file needed  and the js var for sources and layers (ie : src_expe_pro0   expe_pro0 ...)
$pro_kml .= '
   var src_expe_pro'.$j.' =new ol.source.Vector({
      url: "http://www.grottes-et-karsts-de-chine.org/gkc_kml_file/pro_kml_file/'.strtolower($pro_id).'.kml",
      format: new ol.format.KML()
   });
   var expe_pro'.$j.' = new ol.layer.Vector({
      source:src_expe_pro'.$j.'
    });';
   $layers_pro_kml .= "expe_pro".$j.",
   ";

later i put this in the map (so $layers_pro_kml can be one or several layer(s))
...
         layers: [
            fond_carte,
            '.$layers_pro_kml.'
            expe_markers
         ],
...

and here come the fog ...
for now i simply use this who work taking the bound of the first kml layer
   expe_pro0.once("change", function(e){
      var extension = src_expe_pro0.getExtent();
      map.getView().fit(extension);
   });

so in fact the question is how to work with the arrays (extension) to reduce at one array we will give me the bounds of all the kml layers ?
is there a fonction in the api or must i play with the arrays ?? or perhaps a simple way ?
Any advice
Thanks
With the advice of mike (thanks) i use this and its work perfectly ..
      var extension = ol.extent.createEmpty();
      map.getLayers().forEach(function(layer){
         if(!layer.values_.id) {
            layer.once("change", function(e){
               ol.extent.extend(extension, layer.getSource().getExtent());
               map.getView().fit(extension);
            });
         }
      });

A: Try something like this.  The sources might load in any order so it would be simplest to re-fit as each loads.
     // before opening map set listeners for vectors loading
     // and use extents to fit the map
     var extension = ol.extent.createEmpty();
     [
        fond_carte,
        '.$layers_pro_kml.'
        expe_markers
     ].forEach(function(layer) {
       if (layer.getSource().getExtent) {
         layer.getSource().on("addfeature", function(e){
           ol.extent.extend(extension, layer.getSource().getExtent());
           map.getView().fit(extension);
         });
       }
     });
     // then open the map to load the vectors
     map.setView(
       new ol.View({
         center: [0,0],
         zoom: 0
       })
     );


Objectives: This study examined cognitive flexibility in implicit learning through manipulating item frequency and predictive probability in children with and without specific language impairment (SLI). The purpose of this study was to determine whether a significant difference in non-linguistic implicit learning ability would be found between children with SLI and their typically developing (TD) peers and identify a significant factor for distinguishing between SLI and TD groups. Methods: Sixteen 4- to 6-year-old children with SLI and 15 age-matched children with TD participated in this study. Accuracy and RTs were obtained via the Grammatical Judgment Task (GJT) and non-linguistic implicit learning task, where item frequencies and probability were considered simultaneously. The accuracy (%) and response time (ms) in the implicit learning task were recorded using E-Prime Software. A repeated measure of ANOVA, Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient, and discriminant analysis were used for data analysis. Results: The results showed that the SLI group had significantly lower accuracy and longer response time on the implicit learning task than the TD group; a significant difference between low frequency/low probability and the other conditions between the SLI and the TD groups was found only for accuracy; and RT in HL (conflict high frequency/low relational probability) condition was a significant factor for identifying SLI. Conclusion: When compared to peer TD children, children with SLI are less sensitive to certain rules if both frequency and probability are at lower levels. These difficulties are closely associated with their grammatical judgment performance. © 2017 Korean Academy of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology.

#LOWECLASS
Sharing My 9/11 With #loweclass
I have enjoyed seeing my journalism students engage this week with the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. I posted this in the #loweclass group on Facebook on Sept. 4:
This email came this summer from Dr. Karen Slattery: "I am wondering if you would be available to speak to both sections of my DJ 1500 classes on Monday, Sept. 8. That day, we will be talking about interviewing victims of trauma. It occurred to me that your work on 9/11 would be right on topic and would give the students the chance to hear about what it was like to be part of that tragic event from the perspective of a journalist."
I could not say no to my faculty colleague. So since JOUR 2100 meets the same time as her morning class, we will meet together. Both classes are expected to read my "9/11 Chronicle" in advance of the session and pepper me with good questions about my experience. Check out the accompanying links that are still active, too. Your interviewing skills will be tested. So will your reporting skills. That means you should do other research on your own about journalists covering tragedy and mayhem.
This joint session should last about an hour. #loweclass will then write a related blog post during the second part of our class -- with a full-fledged profile assignment to follow for Wednesday's class. So you will need quotes and a sense of the room, etc. Again, interviewing and reporting. There should not be questions like, "What newspaper were you working for on 9/11?" Don't let JOUR 1550 show up JOUR 2100. Please.
Make no mistake, both classes – nearly 30 students total – asked great questions as I sat before them for about an hour Monday in Johnston Hall, home of the Diederich College of Communication at Marquette University. Students entering colleges and universities as freshmen this year were in kindergarten in 2001. These ones firing questions at me as if it were a news conference were in elementary school. They all can either remember what they were doing that morning or how people around them acted. One was living in Manhattan.
Slattery's class all had digital recorders in front of me as I spoke. Their assignment afterward included creating a news report suitable for radio or the Web. She had me do the same exercise for her afternoon class. Thankfully, it asked some different questions, so that hour of time was equally enjoyable. It also helped that Marjorie Valbrun, another journalist spending the year at Marquette as an O'Brien Fellow, chimed in with her experiences as a journalist on 9/11.
My students returned to our classroom after the morning session, had a quick newsroom meeting about what had just transpired – and then had 25 minutes to write a blog post offering their immediate perspective (for online). They then had 48 hours to write a news profile about the guest speaker and his 9/11 experience (for the next day's paper).
Is it weird having your students write about you? Yes. But I learned a lot about each one of them via their blog posts. As I look forward to reading their profiles this weekend, I am happy to report that they also used my and their 9/11 experiences to create Storifys, thus learning how to curate social media. They did so within a day. No sense waiting until Monday to write about something that everyone is focusing on today, I told them. Eager to read those, too. Many thanks to my colleague for enabling me to share the most momentous day of my career with our students.
With the coming 13th 9/11 anniversary, it was to incredible to hear an account from a journalist on that day from @herbertlowe #loweclass

#loweclass Seeks Grammar Glory
"It's so easy not to pay attention to grammar sometimes and we all do it, even if we like to think otherwise. After all, we are only human," Kia Garriques writes in a blog post, "How to Start the New Year: Get Serious About Grammar!"
With a new semester beginning this week at Marquette University, and me once again teaching Digital Journalism III (JOUR 2100) in the Diederich College of Communication, I want my 14 students to focus on grammar all the time. Hence my Facebook message last night:
A #loweclass rite of passage will happen tomorrow morning. The much-appreciated, nowhere-else duplicated, 50-question grammar, spelling and punctuation quiz is locked and loaded in D2L. It is set to begin at 10 and end at 10:25. As stated Monday, 50 extra-credit points to each student who answers at least 40 questions correctly. Only two students -- Alec Brooks and Rob Gebelhoff -- have earned such glory in five prior semesters.
The post earned three dozen Facebook "likes" and engendered boldness among my friends and family, not to mention well wishes and thoughts of cats from former students of #loweclass – which, by the way, is the Twitter hashtag to follow what my students are doing. A cousin asked why 25 minutes for 50 questions? One doesn't need more than two minutes per grammar question. Three people asked to take the quiz. How cute. I really don't think they are ready.
Several of the questions relate to what's in the Associated Press Stylebook, the "journalist's bible" in newsrooms across America. I insist that my students know AP Style because it helps to teach how to write with clarity, consistency, accuracy and authority. There will be more AP Style quizzes soon as well as the ever popular "AP Style Bowl" that's designed to make it fun to learn.
So, how did the class do with today's quiz? Regretfully, no one scored the requisite 80 for the 50 extra-credit points. Two students were two correct answers shy of the magic number, with both earning a 72. As in past semesters, I will give the quiz -- and another chance at the extra credit -- again near the term's end. Hopefully, then someone else will earn grammar glory.
That moment when you doubt all the grammar lessons you've had: the first of many #loweclass @APStylebook quizzes @MUCollegeofComm

50 questions of second guessing myself #APStyle quiz #loweclass

I hope the #APStyleQuiz at the end of the semester will turn out better. #LoweClass

'Ready to Kill This Presentation'
Click the image to be taken to another page on this website where you can watch a video recording of my thesis defense.
Brooke Miller, my trusted student assistant, sent me a text message about 30 minutes before the big event on April 8, hoping I was "ready to kill this presentation." My reaction: I just hoped this presentation didn't kill me – or at least have me embarrass myself, her or anyone else.
More than three dozen people – including a honors research methods class from another college at Marquette – came to a large conference room in Johnston Hall to watch me defend my master's degree thesis, "Journalism and Community: A Case Study of the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service." I had witnessed about five or six thesis defenses in the Diederich College of Communication since entering graduate school in fall 2010. But I was beyond nervous or anxious. The outcome would mark my biggest watershed day in about 11 years.
Sure, the only three people I really had to worry about were my thesis committee: John Pauly, Ph.D., the chairman; Ana Garner, Ph.D. and Erik Ugland, Ph.D., who was listening via speakerphone given he is in the Czech Republic on a prestigious Fulbright Fellowship. But my wife was also taking it in telephonically from Atlanta – and Editor-in-Chief Sharon McGowan and several others invested in the news service were in the room. Otherwise, no pressure at all.
"This a bigger group than we usually have for thesis defenses," Dr. Pauly told the audience just before introducing me, "and this is in part because this is a community-based project. And so as the university looks ahead to more forms of community engagement, I think this is an interesting example for us of some things that we're probably going to be thinking about in the future, perhaps, (and we) wanted to give a chance to people who were touched by this project or involved in it one or another to be here and to hear a little bit about it."
Dr. Pauly set the ground rules: My initial presentation was to be about 15 to 20 minutes, with up to 20 more for questions of me from the audience. He would then ask the visitors to leave the room so the committee could continue the thesis examination with me alone. Well, my presentation lasted a bit longer than 20 minutes, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. I appreciated the audience's thoughtful and caring questions about the thesis and, more importantly, the news service's outcomes and future. One in particular, from Tim Cigelske, the university's director of social media, asked to what extent others not present would get to see my research. (Thanks to the video skills of another student, Arthur Jones, my defense is here in its entirety.)
"My chairman and I come from different places on this," I said. "No we don't," Dr. Pauly interjected, to everyone's amusement. He insisted the only difference is "the thesis comes first" – that is, abiding by time-honored rituals associated with earning a master's degree. Yes, sir, I replied, but as I told those assembled, while appreciating the opportunities for having my work published in academic journals – see this blog post, "Moving Closer to the Academic Light" – my hope is to transform my thesis from a PDF to an eBook that can be accessed via iTunes.
Truly supportive of my post-thesis ambitions, Dr. Pauly told Cigelske that with respect to "what we (in academe) do with theses and dissertations, I think there are pieces of those projects that we could make more visible to other people, so maybe this would be a good test case."
Time will surely tell about all of that. In a text afterward, Brooke assured me that I did not embarrass her. For my part, I woke up the next morning ready to defend my thesis again.
My Graduate Thesis Is DONE!
This email this morning from Sherri Lex, assistant director for student records for Marquette University's Graduate School, delighted me very much:
Dear Herbert Lowe,
Congratulations. Your submission, 10772 has cleared all of the necessary checks and will soon be delivered to ProQuest/UMI for publishing.
Translation: My graduate school thesis is DONE! Finally. After 16 months – DONE! No more getting out of bed at 3 a.m. to work on "Journalism and Community: A Case Study of the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service (NNS)." Hallelujah!
Much more on this website about my never-ending staircase into the depths of research and scholarship, including full acknowledgments and the penultimate hurdle – my thesis defense last week – soon. For now, John Pauly, Ph.D., my thesis committee chairman, will always have my deepest gratitude. The final result is much more than I ever thought it could be. Hopefully, it is close to what Dr. Pauly believes it should be. Thanks also to the my other committee members: Ana Garner, Ph.D. ("Scribble! Scribble! Scribble!") and Erik Ugland, Ph.D. Their guidance, support, patience and understanding during this long process means a lot to me.
Thanks also to my thesis informants: NNS Editor-in-Chief Sharon McGowan; NNS reporters Edgar Mendez and Andrea Waxman; Karen Slattery, Ph.D., chairwoman of the college's journalism and media studies department; and former NNS intern Heather Ronaldson, already one of my favorite former students. And to Lori Bergen, Ph.D., whose foresight as the Diederich College dean helped bring both me and the news service to Marquette; my other journalism and media studies faculty colleagues for their support; and my wife, Mira, whose editing and love knows no bounds, even when tested by the likes of this new scholar.
Have become accustomed to soaking it in during these many months, I asked Dr. Pauly if he had any wisdom for me now that this glorious day has come. Here's his reply:
Wisdom. Hmmm. Take time to savor this moment and enjoy it. Once that's done, don't treat the thesis as a requirement that you checked off or something to put on the shelf; rather consider it a life accomplishment on which you can build in the months and years ahead.
Also, think about what you learned about being a student from doing this project. How might your experience of completing a thesis be helpful to you in your own work with students? How are you going to inspire students to take on a big challenge and work much harder than they thought themselves capable of? That's all I got for now. Campus is dead, which means it's just me and my notes and my book manuscript. Fantastic!
"Savor the moment and enjoy it." Check and check! As for the rest of his advice? Well, I'm not trying to hear all that right now. (OK, given I also have become accustomed to resisting his advice in the afternoon, only to awake at 3 a.m. and do everything he told me to do, I'm sure I will tend to his questions and inspirations soon enough.) For now, it's time for golf!
#loweclass Makes Video Efforts Work
Check out this video profile of Kal Riebau, a student manager for the Marquette University men's basketball team.
Perhaps final projects show how well students have been taught as much they have learned each term. So I was quite worried about the projects the 18 students in my Digital Journalism III course would produce this semester. OK, I expected nothing short of a train wreck. But as is often the case, my students exceeded my expectations.
Each student had to do create a multimedia package focusing on anyone of their choosing within the Marquette community; it could be another student or an administrator, faculty member, employee, etc., on or near campus. The New York Times' "One in 8 Million" collection of audio slideshows served as inspiration and the projects were to each consist of two parts: a 650-word profile and a three-minute video created using Final Cut Pro X. The videos were uploaded to YouTube, then embedded above their text stories on a page on their individual Weebly websites.
The class focused considerably on writing profiles this spring, but spent just a couple periods on using video. One day we looked at examples from TheMorganList.com, a collection of videos about people at Morgan State University and produced by students taught there by my friend, Jerry Bembry; another day we reviewed "Al's 10 Video Commandments," a presentation on the do's and don'ts that Al Tompkins shared atthe inaugural Teachapalooza in 2011.) The class also had the "Video Storytelling for the Web" and "Reporting, Writing for TV and the Web: Aim for the Heart" modules as part of a certificate program offered by the Poynter Institute's News University.
Making me even more nervous: The students insisted on using the higher-end cameras they could sign out from the Diederich College of Communication's technology center instead of their smartphones. Good for them! Unlike in past semesters, though, we spent no class time learning how to use the equipment. Anyway, after turning in three full-fledged story ideas each – just in case a preferred one fell through – the students went about doing their projects.
After three weeks of working on them, the class helped me critique each effort. To my relief, they all were credible, if not more so. Several focused on Marquette peers. They included the state governor's son; one focused on serving others; a theater set designer; an international student; a Muslim; a hip-hop dancer; one hundreds of miles from his family still reeling from superstorm Sandy; one with cerebral palsy and one needing a guide dog because of blindness. The other projects featured the owner of a popular eatery; a diversity counselor and social justice instructor; a music curator and three faculty members who teach law, political science and German, respectively.
Two of the projects particularly stood out and deserve a look from anyone reading this post. Benjamin Greene profiled Kal Riebau, a student manager for the men's basketball team despite having only one arm. Given that his video was done after basketball season – that's why there's no footage of Riebau doing his manager duties or engaging with the team – Greene's classmates and I agree that any criticism from this instructor would be nitpicking.
Then there's Christopher Chavez, who is always trouble. "I know we're not supposed to use music," he said to me the week before the projects were due, "but I made it work." After watching his piece on Tyler Leverington, a track team member who is also a first-year law student, I agreed: Chavez made it work. The music level could be reduced some more, but just like with Greene's effort on Riebau, the editing quality in the Leverington piece is outstanding.
And, never one to miss an opportunity, Chavez has taken his coursework international. "Had a little too much fun with my One @Marquette project that I extended it to eight minutes and released it as a feature on Flotrack," he wrote in a status update in the #loweclass Facebook group last week. As of Saturday, that version had 4,465 page views from www.flotrack.org, a website dedicated to news about track and field. Once again, that's making it work.
Just finished my #loweclass video interview. It literally could not have gone any better.

Student Media Ready for New Opportunity
The 24 students gathered in a Diederich College of Communication conference room last night – including three Skyped in from overseas – knew they were embarking on something momentous. "We all know it's going to be a challenge for next year," said Erin Caughey, a junior journalism major. "But also it's going to be an opportunity."
The 75-minute meeting of student media leaders followed months of restructuring to enhance greater collaboration between the Marquette Tribune, Marquette Journal, MUTV, WMUR and interactive and advertising branches. It's also ushering in a digital-first mindset aimed at better matching the realities expected of professional journalists.
For decades the student newspaper, magazine, television and radio staffs have operated separately. However, a newly created group of executive editors will coordinate newsgathering and opinion as well as integrate reporters, photographers and copy editors. Caughey will lead the operation tentatively named NewsCenter as general manager.
Not everyone welcomed the changes approved by the university's student media board. Indeed, the Tribune's final editorial of the year warned they would keep journalism students from becoming specialists. The criticisms were muted, however, as those at the meeting foretold awaiting opportunities and challenges. The opportunities include expanding skill sets and coverage of the university and students; learning to decide which medium – print, broadcast or online – is best to cover a story; greater presence for blogs and opinion, and more resources for breaking news. The challenges include communicating, coordinating, ensuring quality amid change and adapting to learning curves.
All eyes were glued to Greg Borowski as the board's alumni representative encouraged the leaders. Borowski, an assistant managing editor at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, noted that his and other newsrooms nationally had already gone through such changes and urged the students to be patient with each other, collaborate, keep an open mind and trust the process, share successes and learn from their mistakes. "I'm not all that nervous about it," he said. "All the challenges that you listed can be anticipated and can be resolved."
For me, as my few months as interim student publications advisor draws to an end, it was the best 75 minutes since returning to my alma mater as a journalism faculty member seven semesters ago.
Really well done here by the @mutribune folks: http://t.co/xZba3Ls7rw #proudalum

Becoming #Fearless One Tweet at a Time
[View the story "How to Be a #Fearless Journalist" on Storify]
My wife, Mira Lowe, senior editor for features for CNN.com, keynoted the opening session of the 2013 Midwest Journalism Summit that NABJ-MU and the Diederich College of Communication co-hosted this past weekend.
Mira surprised her audience, which mostly included dozens of journalism students from about a half dozen universities from Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and elsewhere by delivering her keynote, "How to Be a #Fearless Journalist," tweet by tweet. She had created 20 tweets altogether in advance, each with the hashtag #fearless, and revealed them one at a time – along, of course, with plenty of inspiration and encouragement.
I have captured Mira's tweets in a Storify so you can become #fearless, too. You can view "How to Be a #Fearless Journalist" in a Web browser or the slideshow embedded above; click the play button on the left to let it move forward itself, or the arrow to the right of the numbers to soak in each tweet at your own pace. Enjoy.
Updated: Here's another Storify about Mira's presentation, "CNN Digital Editor Teaches Young Journalists to be #Fearless," by NABJ-MU Secretary Monique Collins. She did the Storify as a #loweclass assignment.

#loweclass Live Blogs From #MissionWeek
2012 Marquette Mission Week (#loweclass)
Those new to my website may not know that my journalism classes in the Diederich College of Communication – otherwise known as #loweclass – have become adept at live tweeting campus events. Last summer, I wrote a lengthy article for Poynter.org that explained how that came to be and shared some tips. (I also have a number of blog posts about live tweeting events and my students success at it at herblowe.com/live-tweeting.html.)
Always looking for a new challenge for #loweclass – and myself – my two classes last fall combined to live blog from polling places on and near Marquette University during the general election on Nov. 6. Afterward, I was generally pleased with the students' efforts, especially since it was their first time using CoveritLive and live blogging and, as I shared before, the experience was eye-opening in terms of their uneasiness in approaching strangers.
Yesterday, my Digital Journalism III (JOUR 2100) class live blogged from a campus event that was part of the university's annual weeklong devotion to the exploration of its Catholic and Jesuit mission. This particular event's title: "Caring for Our Neighbors Locally and Globally: Addressing Health Care Disparities and Community Health Initiatives." It promised to have eight Opus Prize winners and representatives as panelists on stage for 90 minutes.
It was the first live blogging experience for most of the 18 students. I'm still forming my thoughts about the class' performance. However, at first blush it seemed that too many of them forgot about the greater audience witnessing their activity via the official #MissionWeek hashtag, not to mention all those who know about #loweclass ...
Aiming to Better Critique Student Critiques
Once again this semester, I have assigned each student in #loweclass a media company website to cover as his or her semester-long beat. They write a blog post each week that evaluates their respective website's successes and misfires, based on either class discussions and the biggest national news story. Their second post, for example, focused on President Obama's second inauguration, while the one due today reviewed Super Bowl coverage.
The BBC, The Indianapolis Star, Orlando Sentinel and The Salt Lake Tribune have been added for the first time to the 30 or so websites assigned during previous semesters. Last week, the class and I engaged in a lengthy review of the assignment's opportunities (for example, learning to do media critiques and cover a beat) and challenges (being mindful of not needlessly offending anyone given that blogging is so public and rife with journalistic dangers).
A few students have made it clear they wish to cover a site that interests them personally. I want to be sensitive to such concerns. Aspiring journalists must learn early on they won't always get to cover what they want. Indeed, it's how they apply themselves to lesser beats that determines how quickly they advance to more choice assignments.
Anyway, what follows is a long-overdue effort to help #loweclass produce better media critiques. Unlike with most other journalism education assignments, there isn't definitive help on the Internet concerning rubrics for evaluating individual student blog posts. This is what I have come up with – I'm still tweaking this rubric, but hoping it helps:
CONTENT (3 points): Either excellent (focused and well organized analysis; succinct and confident writing; engaged with the topic; demonstrates appreciation/awareness of course/assignment objectives); or satisfactory (reasonably focused and or organized analysis; moderately engaged with the topic; fewer connections between ideas; writing for the professor, not a greater audience or community); or unacceptable (unfocused or disorganized analysis; limited engagement with the topic; post consists of one or two disconnected paragraphs or sentences; not really interested or interesting). Excellent, of course, means 1 point, while satisfactory and unacceptable are 2 and 1, respectively.
MECHANICS (1 point): Avoids errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation or Associated Press style; no form errors or obvious layout concerns (line breaks, errant spacing, widows or orphans); demonstrates quality proofreading.
HEADLINE (1 point): Clear and able to stand on its own with no other context; contains likely search words; compels readers to risk a click. Lacks wordiness; avoids puns and oblique references, obscure words or orphans. Mindful of style issues, creativity and variety; written for people, not Google.
VISUALS (1 point): Proper use of image(s) or screenshot(s) or embedded media (video, interactive graphic, etc.); effective caption(s) — see headlines; hyperlinked to content elsewhere for additional engagement.
HYPERLINKS (1 point): Four minimum. Where do they link to? Relevance? Organization? Appearance? Everything that should be linked is. They add to the story without being too wordy. Show – don't tell.
(Each student must do 14 media critiques this term; each post is worth seven points toward a possible total of 98.)
That's it. My students' first indications are that they appreciate it. We'll see what happens. What do you think?
'Awesome Packers Fan' Gloats
I have been dreading this blog post for some time. Early last fall, I made a bet with Diana Dombrowski, a former journalism student now studying communications studies. Here's how this otherwise nice sophomore from Cudahy, Wis. – who seemed to wear her Aaron Rogers jersey to class just to annoy me – explained the wager in an email:
So here's the deal that you are going to lose. :-)
If the Packers make it farther into the postseason than the Eagles, you have to take a picture wearing a Packers jersey and write a blog post about why you should be a Packers fan AND why I'm an awesome Packers fan. If the Eagles make it farther into the postseason than the Packers, I will write an apology letter to you for ever doubting the Eagles. I will also take a picture in an Eagles jersey and you can turn this into a blog post.
No matter who wins, we both will be in the picture so that the winner can gloat, of course. If neither team makes it to the postseason, the winner will be determined by who has the better record. We can decide later in the season how we will determine a winner if both teams have the same record. Diana #GoPackGo
I honestly expected a bounce-back season for the Eagles, given their disappointing 8-8 finish in 2011. Naturally, Dombrowski made herself scarce as my team won three of its first four games, while hers started off 2-2. But the Eagles then lost eight in a row before finishing 4-12. Meanwhile, Green Bay won 9 of its last 12 to end at 11-5. Basically, the Eagles' season was over before Thanksgiving. So, too – to the delight of Dombrowski and every other NFL-loving #loweclass student eager to see me in (sports-related) distress – was the bet.
I cannot find the words to explain why Dombrowski is an awesome Packers fan. Let it suffice to say that she is. As for me being a Packers fan? Not going to happen. But as you can see above, true to my word, I donned the jersey.
"I hope you're happy; I hope this brings you joy," I said after Gee Ekachai, a Diederich Colleague colleague, took the photographs in Johnston Hall. Dombrowski replied smugly: "It has. You look so defeated. I like to win. I really do."
Cannot wait for @herbertlowe wearing a Packers jersey in #loweclass next semester.

- Be a role model. It's no secret that your kids want to grow up to be just like you. The best way to teach them about the spirit of giving is to exemplify it yourself.
- Make it a part of your family's schedule. This turns volunteering into a fun family event and encourages everyone to give back frequently.
- Pick a volunteer activity that's relatable to your child. Doing something like packaging supply boxes for tsunami relief on the other side of the world is awesome, but your child might not be able to conceptualize what a tsunami even is. If you really want your volunteer experience to hit home, try to find a cause that is relatable and has tangible results. For example, donating toys to a local foster home.
- Start small. Adult volunteering often involves physical labor. There's definitely nothing wrong with showing kids the benefits of hard work, but it's also okay to start small and with something enjoyable. Taking puppies for walks at the local animal shelter is every bit as valuable as cleaning up a park, and it might be an easier way to introduce your child to the world of volunteering.
- Create your own opportunities. It can be challenging to find volunteer opportunities for young children. If you can't work directly with a project or organization, come up with alternatives, like a lemonade stand fundraiser for a local charity.
- Talk about it. This is the most crucial part of volunteering with your kids. Have frequent discussions about what they're doing, who it helps and why volunteers are needed. If the activity has a more abstract result (like global relief) try to come up with ways to make it easy for your child to understand.
- Give them input. As you do more volunteering together, your kids will start to develop attachments to certain organizations and activities. Let them be a part of deciding where your family will donate its time.
