1EdTech Consortium Announces First EdTech Solutions to Achieve LTI Advantage Certification
Leading Platform Companies Set the Stage for the Rapid Adoption of a Smarter and More Secure Approach to Learning Tool Integration
LAKE MARY, Florida, 5 February 2019 — 1EdTech Consortium (1EdTech/1EdTech), the world-leading non-profit collaborative advancing edtech interoperability, innovation, and learning impact announced today the first 1EdTech members to achieve certification for LTI Advantage.
LTI Advantage is an interoperability standard for learning platforms and application integration. It provides educational institutions and edtech suppliers with a core integration strategy for enabling plug-and-play interoperability that dramatically improves usability and secures data. Leveraging a robust security framework that offers more advanced protection of sensitive student data, LTI Advantage enables the most desirable end-user services—via three unique extensions—to support the delivery of innovative learning tools and applications necessary for digital transformation.
Blackboard, Instructure, Moodle, and Sakai learning management platforms are the first organizations to pass rigorous 1EdTech certification requirements for all components of LTI Advantage—Assignment and Grade Services, Deep Linking, and Names and Role Provisioning Services. The LTI Advantage designation means that a product has successfully implemented and achieved 1EdTech certification for the latest version of the core Learning Tools Interoperability® (LTI®) standard, which includes an upgraded security model, and all three extensions. As the foundation for learning product integration, LTI Advantage adoption and certification provides a path for the wide array of tool providers to rapidly scale their integration to work with any LTI Advantage-certified platform.
"LTI Advantage represents an unprecedented collaboration among the leading learning platform, tool, and application suppliers to respond to requirements from institutional leaders for a more secure, reliable, and cost-effective way to integrate learning technology," said Dr. Rob Abel, chief executive officer, 1EdTech Consortium. "Thanks to Blackboard, Instructure, Moodle, and Sakai for their leadership accelerating the transition to LTI Advantage as the new model for extending the digital learning ecosystem."
"We will look back in several years and realize that the release of LTI Advantage was the moment where the LMS marketplace was truly transformed into an ecosystem of cooperating platforms and tools," said Dr. Charles Severance, PMC Chair, Sakai Project. "The close alignment of design, engineering, and security efforts by the major vendors for the past several years is why LTI Advantage has the unprecedented scope, quality, and support at its launch."
"Like Canvas, LTI Advantage is anchored in openness," said Melissa Loble, SVP of Customer Success at Instructure and 1EdTech Board Member. "Through both its scalable technical foundation and services extensions, anyone using edtech tools is able to take advantage of enhanced interoperability, richer integrations, and more accessible teaching and learning. Improving teaching and learning is foundational to who we are at Canvas and why we are proud to be among the first to be LTI Advantage certified."
"Blackboard is proud to be part of a community of leading educational institutions and technology providers to collaborate on defining and implementing LTI Advantage," said Jim Chalex, Vice President of Product Management, Teaching & Learning, Blackboard. "We're committed to enabling institutions to build the right edtech platform to meet their needs and drive learner success and academic innovation. Openness and standards are the foundation of this edtech platform, and we look forward to continuing to work with our partners and developer community to realize the potential of LTI Advantage."
"Moodle firmly believes in sustainable open solutions and the importance of open standards. We are extremely pleased to be among the first to be certified and ready for LTI Advantage," said Martin Dougiamas, Founder and CEO of Moodle.
On 7 February 2019, at the 1EdTech Quarterly Meeting in Scottsdale, Arizona, there will be a dedicated LTI Advantage boot camp offering implementation guidance and assistance to all solutions providers working toward 1EdTech certification for LTI Advantage. Another intensive boot camp will take place on 22 May 2019, at the Learning Impact Leadership Institute in San Diego, California.
1EdTech offers an Alliance membership for educational technology providers that want to implement certified-LTI Advantage now. To facilitate adoption, 1EdTech has developed an innovative test reference implementation for learning tool providers to build out and test their deployment. LTI Advantage will be available to non-1EdTech members upon its public release.

Susan Logue from Voice Of America recently did a profile of Tracy's Kids entitled "Artful Therapy Helps Children Cope with Cancer. " Below you can find the article she wrote as well as view the video that Voice Of America made at Tracy's Kids in Georgetown Hospital's Lombardi Cancer Center.
A diagnosis of cancer can be devastating, especially when the patient is a child.
But art therapy is making it easier for some patients who go to Georgetown Hospital's Lombardi Cancer Center for treatment.
Alesia Allen, 10, is all smiles, even as she helps the nurse draw a syringe of her blood.
Although she has finished her chemotherapy, she returns to Georgetown Hospital for regular check-ups. She's been coming here ever since arriving in the United States from Russia earlier this year.
"I like this place," Alesia says. She enjoys drawing, painting and playing a fashion design game on an iPad.
The blood draw is almost an afterthought for Alesia now, but her father, Larry Allen, says she was scared the first time she came here, based on her hospital experience in Russia.
"Medically it was OK, but in every other aspect it wasn't," he says.
According to Allen, Alesia was strapped into a bed during her treatments in Russia and was told the cancer was her fault.
Tracy Councill is the art therapist who works with Alesia and other kids like her. She founded Tracy's Kids at Georgetown Hospital 20 years ago. Since then, the pediatric art therapy program has been replicated at three other hospitals in the Washington area, as well as one in Texas.
"Just engaging in the art process can be very grounding and relaxing in a really scary place," Councill says.
The clinic doesn't look scary. It was designed so art would be the first thing patients see when they enter. There are paintings, drawings and craft projects everywhere. Even the ceiling tiles are covered with pictures.
Most of the art is bright and cheerful, but there are darker works.
No one is depicting monsters today. While he receives a transfusion for aplastic anemia, Akele Carpentier creates a model of an amusement park out of cardboard and modeling clay.
But designing a fantasy helps, Councill says.
Dr. Aziza Shad, who heads Georgetown's Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Program, can't imagine caring for her patients without the art therapy program.
Whether that's true or not, it's clear that art therapy has improved these patients' quality of life, by helping them cope with their disease and its treatment.
From all of us at Tracy's Kids, thank you Susan!

Importance of Character
Posted on October 15, 2017 by Roger Pocock
Working with Roger on our View from the Junkyard has been a wonderful experience. Our approach to reviewing episodes on weekdays and something special on weekends really offers some flexibility. The downside is when ones muse goes on vacation without hiring a backup, we can struggle for an idea. So my plan was to go with another "Doctor Who on Vinyl" but ended with something miscellaneous or potentially worthy of "6 Degrees of Who". When I attempted to reply to an email from our dear friend, our reviewer from beyond the stars, Mr. Mike Basil in response to my thoughts about Blade Runner: 2049, I stumbled on another idea. I actually wrote the reply, then scrapped it when a new idea came to me like a crossbow bolt fired out of the blue…. Like a shark popping out of a cat… like a salt vampire emerging from the body of an old girlfriend… like a police box materializing out of nothing… like a… well, you get the idea! It was a sudden realization and it hit me hard enough that I thought I'd share this observation!
What made Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep so good? For that matter, what made all the original stories by those early science fiction writers so good? Heinlein, Asimov, Bradbury, PKD, Bester… they all wrote books that had something that never seems to come across as well on screen. When I started my review of Blade Runner: 2049, I think I had a revelation. All of those founding fathers of Science Fiction have something in common: they are "idea men". They all came up with these incredible, mind-blowing ideas. And the books developed those ideas creating these memorable concepts that we love and remember with fondness from a golden ere. But for some reason, they rarely make it to the screen with anything approaching that level of memorability. I believe that in order to translate an idea from book to screen, there's something needed that can't be added if it was not there to begin with because it changes the focus from the idea to that other thing. What is the other thing? Character.
By which I mean a character or characters. The visual medium needs a strong character which then becomes the vessel for telling the big idea. Look at Neo in The Matrix: big idea, carried by a character who learns to be more than he was. If you saw The Matrix, you know Neo. Ripley from Alien, or Taylor from Planet of the Apes – if you saw the movie, you know the name. Can the same be said for Ryan Gosling's character in Blade Runner: 2049? (Mind you, I just saw this movie this week!) It may also be why horror movie characters (like Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger) are so well loved while far better horror movies like The Changeling (George C. Scott's one, not Angelina's) are forgotten. The movies, like the aforementioned The Matrix or Alien, are carried by strong characters. And Planet of the Apes is very different from the book. I don't know anyone who ever praised the book, but the movie is incredibly memorable and that's because Taylor is the medium to convey the big idea. He carries us through it.
Blade Runner: 2049 was a good movie. It has some stunning visuals, interesting ideas, but I don't care if I never see it again. If I were flicking through the channels and found it, I'd keep going. Not the same for Alien or half a dozen other movies. (I'm not really looking at sequels here, because they typically end up being money-grabs and fall short of the original, with rare exception.) I felt the same after the original Blade Runner as well. The characters are very shallow, one-dimensional. Should they fall into a pit on the planet Marinus, they would be cardboard cutouts! Jared Leto, an incredible actor, is a very one dimensional villain with no motivation or explanation of character. Was he blind? What were those things that followed him around? Harrison Ford is only a draw for the movie because he's Harrison Ford! He gets only one decent line in the whole movie. Ryan Gosling was probably given a single page of lines and told to memorize them and he'd be ready for filming, but the movie was three hours long! He is never built on; we have very little reason to care for him or what he goes through. Then why do you say it was good? Because the concepts were interesting. There's a scene which really drives home that what you perceive is truly your reality. It's brilliantly executed. But I would argue that we could have had that same thing done on an episode of Star Trek to far greater effect. And why? Because there are characters to drive the idea home. A book can do that with or without the character but a movie or TV show cannot. We need the strong character to make the story flow.
Take a second and look at Douglas Adams epic work: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. We are introduced to Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect; they carry everything. We see the destruction of Earth and all the crazy events that follow and we love it. It was a book before it was a movie/tv show, but it had the characters and when it was translated, it still retained the memorable qualities, maybe a bit pale by comparison but those characters made the series. Never has lying in front of a bulldozer seemed so wonderful! A far better example is his other, slightly less known, work: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Both books were brilliant but so were both versions of the show (UK and US*). Dirk is hilarious and the outrageously strange set of circumstances they find themselves in (and I do mean outrageous) still stand out as top notch viewing. (My wife even watched all 8 of the US episodes and loved it, and typically she would cringe at such outré situations!)
There are a number of shows that converted well from book to TV but typically, those are the ones with the strongest characters. Look at The Walking Dead, now entering its 8th season. It started as a graphic novel, but has such an ensemble of characters, that we keep tuning in even though the cast is really going nowhere and circling back through the same themes week after week. Game of Thrones also started as books but they have so many deep, dimensional characters, and most of us are counting down for when the series will be back! But it doesn't have to be a book to create great characters. Babylon 5 truly blew my mind when I watched it and there is not one character that does not get fleshed out and people you think are the "bad guys" at the start, turn out to be far deeper and more intriguing than that. Star Wars, Buffy and Firefly, Dark Matter and Torchwood: these are all character driven stories. Some are little more than fun sci-fi romps, some are deep philosophical journeys but what we take away from them is a sense of awe carried on the shoulders of the characters we love.
Which brings us around to our Junkyard, where a blue box stands as home to the most enjoyable character of them all; certainly the longest running. He has been crotchety and whimsical, a man of action and a man teetering on the brink of sanity. He's been vulnerable and caring, and aloof and pompous. Sometimes mysterious, other times comical, spewing convoluted malapropisms masking a much greater wisdom. He's been an Edwardian gentleman and an angry, battle scarred warrior. Frequently quirky, often funny, always intelligent, and a mix of outlandish, noble, childlike and wonderful, the Doctor can travel through any medium bringing his own brand of joy and hope everywhere he goes. He has lived in print, has been heard in audio stories, and has been seen in plenty of videos. He has even had an "Experience" to bring old friends together. Over time, I hope we investigate all of them to some extent!
I know, because my observation works for me, does not make it an end-all, be-all assessment. Plenty of people are calling Blade Runner: 2049 the best movie of the year, so maybe I'm in a minority, but I think the lure of Gosling, Ford, Leto and Wright carries power on its own and we see movies like this because we like these actors, not unlike the characters of our favorite series. But for me, I need the strong, characters to draw me in and make me want to come back for more.
This post will mark the half-way point of October. We will be entering more frightening places as the month progresses. Let's hope we have the strength of character to deal with the dangers coming, and that we always have that police box standing in the junkyard to offer a safe haven for us when we need it. ML
*The US is more faithful to the storyline, while the UK is more faithful to the character, but both are absolutely brilliant!

The Changling. Omg. Almost gave me a heart attack.
Mike Basil says:
I've been on record for how the pitiful production values of the classic Dr. Who made way for how the stories were sufficiently nourished by the characters, actors and drama. Because both Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 don't rely exclusively on viewer expectations, certainly so where Blade Runner's original impact was concerned, it's easy enough to view characters. Certainly so with Roy Batty, Darth Vader in Star Wars, HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey, etc. They could still appeal to us as characters and not just be blatantly deadly for whatever reasons. Because I cherish Blade Runner's message for what it may mean to be human, Blade Runner 2049 can be adequately successful for reminding us that having more questions than answers can still be the main driving force in our lives. Thank you for your very thoughtful review.

Show Media Item - Banjul South NAM hailed for reviving Crab Island School
Banjul South NAM hailed for reviving Crab Island School
The minister of Higher Education Research Science and Technology, Badara A. Joof, has hailed Hon. Ousman Sillah, the National Assembly Member (NAM) for Banjul South being proactive bringing back Crab Island High School to live.
Mr. Joof was speaking on Wednesday during a daylong Industry Consultation Forum aimed to revive the Crab Island School where many people had passed through.
The forum which is funded by the European Union (EU) in collaboration with Youth Employment Project (YEP) aims to engage industry operators as part of the Technical and Vocational Training (TVET) study to address the growing problem of youth unemployment and underemployment.
Mr. Joof further said that a school like Crab Island should not be allowed to die down like that. "A school that one had the pedigree, expertise and the experience and you see it sliding into some sort of desolation is heartbreaking," he said
He also went on to thank the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (MoBSE) for applying some perspective thinking in terms of reviving Crab Island and also elevating it into technical high school, adding that this is in line with the policy of his ministry
According to him, his aim has long been to turnaround 65% education policy into science and technology, engineering and mathematics.
Mohammed B.S. Jallow, permanent secretary, MoBSE, said that the Ministry of Higher education is the home for technical and vocational education, adding that their ministry is very glad to be part of this initiative.
According to him, in other countries where vocational education has succeeded, it is seen as a real option, citing Germany as example. He said that Germany's curriculum for vocational training requires excellence in mathematics.
Modou Touray, Youth Employment Project coordinator, expressed delight for the partnership.
According to him, their aim was to create opportunity and self-employment for the young people through skills development and entrepreneurship.
Hon. Ousman Sillah, the NAM for Banjul North, who also doubles as the initiator of the project, said that this initiative was as a result of a promise made during his election campaign regarding Crab Island – the facility that had trained so many people who are now playing important role in the society.
He added that after contacting the Education Ministry regarding the facility, they feel it should continue to serve as a center of learning.

We integrated two research traditions – one focusing on analogical reasoning, the other on knowledge sharing – with the aim of examining how designers' unique knowledge backgrounds can fuel analogy-based creativity. The present dataset afforded a unique opportunity to pursue this aim since the design dialogue derived from team members with highly disparate educational backgrounds. Our analyses revealed that analogies that matched (versus mismatched) educational backgrounds were generated and revisited more frequently, presumably because they were more accessible. Matching analogies were also associated with increased epistemic uncertainty, perhaps because domain experts appreciate the challenge of mapping such analogies between domains. Our findings support claims from the knowledge-sharing literature for a direct route from knowledge diversity through analogical reasoning to novel idea production.


21-Jun-2001 -- After a couple of weeks of cool, dreary, rainy weather the first day of summer turned out to be a warm, sunny summer day with the temperature reaching 30°. It was a great day for finding another confluence. We set off from Regina at 10:00 AM heading west to the city of Moose Jaw to pick up our friends Gladys and Grant. Grant had a new GPS he'd never used so was anxious to give it a try. We packed picnic supplies in our van and headed south from Moose Jaw on Highway 2.
At the village of Mossbank we left the paved highway to begin honing in on our confluence using gravel grid roads. Heading north from Mossbank we spotted Old Wives Lake in the distance so knew we were getting close. We followed the trail around the edge of the lake. The trail passed over a Texas cattle gate into a community pasture of mixed prairie grasses where a herd of cattle were feeding near the edge of the lake. Following the readings on Alan's and Grant's GPS's we turned onto an even narrower trail across the prairie that ended at a corral. Leaving our van parked beside the corral, we climbed through the barbed wire fence and walked along cow paths across the pasture towards our destination. Our walk was about 600 meters with Alan's GPS reading the confluence at a distance of about 5 meters from where Grant's GPS was reading it. Standing half way between the two GPS's, Carolyn took the photos of the view in each direction.
The view north shows Old Wives Lake, a very large, shallow, saline lake. Approximately 26,000 hectares of land around and including the lake are owned by the Provincial Government and designated as a bird sanctuary. It is an important breeding area for many species of ducks and a spring and autumn staging area for large concentrations of ducks, Snow Geese and Tundra Swans. Many shore birds and varieties of prairie birds nest in the area. Pelicans, Herons, Cormorants and Terns nest on an island in the lake. Recreational use of the lake is low due to the turbid water, rough shoreline and fluctuation of water levels.
Back at our van we took a picture of ourselves in the cattle corral as well as a few other shots around the corral. We spotted 2 trees near the lake we thought could provide shade for our picnic so drove towards them. Choosing the larger tree, we set out our folding chairs and settled in only to discover that flying insects were swarming about and biting us. We moved into the sun and were left in peace to enjoy our lunch. Traffic was slow - in the entire time we spent near Old Wives Lake we did not see any other vehicle or person. The two "old wives" had their photo taken by Old Wives Lake before moving on (photo not included!). As a side trip before heading back to Moose Jaw we drove 56 km southwest to the French speaking community of Gravelbourg, population 1,200. A highlight was seeing inside the large Catholic Cathedral, Cathedrale Notre-Dame De L'Assomption, with its wonderful stained glass windows and beautiful paintings decorating the walls and ceiling.
A drive back to Moose Jaw following highways 58 and 363 past vast grain fields and over rolling hills as we passed the northern edge of Old Wives Lake got us to Boston Pizza just in time for supper. After a brief visit at Gladys and Grant's and a promise to do another confluence together in July, we headed east to Regina reaching home shortly after 8:00 PM. Our 10 hour, 439 km trip was a great way to celebrate the first day of summer.

What's hot at CES 2018
MLED TVs, ATSC 3.0, OTT, digital TV ads among talking points on day one
LG, Samsung, Sony and other manufacturers have all announced plans to put artificial intelligence capabilities into future displays during CES. The manufacturers have penned deals with Amazon, Google and others to integrate their voice-response personal assistants into various devices, reports TVTechnology. The blizzard of new—or updated—TV-related technologies unveiled at the show include "micro light emitting diode" (MLED) as an alternative to OLED and QLED, plus the latest iteration of thin "roll-up" (window shade) display panels.
Execs from the National Association of Broadcasters, Advanced Television Systems Committee and Consumer Technology Association marked the release of a suite of standards for ATSC 3.0, a next-gen broadcast platform that will support multiscreen video, Ultra HD resolution, interactivity, immersive sound and other advanced features.
OTT was once again a talking point at the Las Vegas show, as Multichannel reports. The rise of virtual MVPDs are giving programmers new ways to reach audiences, but they are also creating some concerns as their various free trial periods enable consumers to quickly switch from one provider to another.
SpotX has announced that media companies streaming video via Amazon Web Services will be able to insert ads using the SpotX platform.
And TV is still the "800-pound gorilla", particularly when it comes to advertising, according to one of the show's panels.

It was the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver's lucky day, seven years ago, when Larry Mueller was invited to play in the Jack A. Vickers Invitational at Castle Pines Golf Club, a tournament hosted by Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway.
He was so impressed with what he learned about the organization that gives 2,000 Denver-area kids per day a chance to participate in programs that help them gain self-confidence, set goals and shape a path to success that he turned right around and established another high-profile fundraiser for it: Flight to Luxury.
From 200 guests and a $50,000 profit in Year One, Flight to Luxury has become an event so grand that it takes two private hangars — Signature Flight Support and XJet, both at Centennial Airport — to accommodate its many elements. The 2015 edition had 1,000 guests and income that will exceed $1 million.
Guests entered the party area on a red carpet path lined with exotic automobiles and private jets. A two-hour silent auction social gave everyone plenty of time to sample gourmet nibbles such as steak tartare from Bistro Vendome and lobster sushi from Oceanaire and sip champagne poured by an aerialist suspended from the ceiling.
Then, with the Montbello High School drum line leading the way, guests proceeded to a seating area where master of ceremonies Rich "G-Man" Goins from 99.5 The Mountain introduced a fashion show, produced by Carol Kaye and styled by Betsy Marr, that featured designs from Mondo Guerra and Dennis Basso, as well as selections from Gracie's, Swim 'n Sport, Andrisen Morton and Calypso St. Barth.
Mueller and his wife, Mary Kay, along with Boys & Girls Clubs CEO John Barry were on hand to welcome such VIP guests as Chauncey Billups, who retired in 2014 after 17 seasons in the National Basketball Association, and his wife, Piper; George and Carol Solich, whose Solich Fund was a $50,000 Diamond Sponsor; fellow Diamond Sponsor Damian Guillot, the owner of Aspen Art Gallery; Dana Davis, interim executive director of the Children's Diabetes Foundation, with boyfriend Shane Hendryson; Lydell Peterson from the Six13 Marketing Group; Oakwood Homes CEO Pat Hamill; and Navin Dimond, founder, president and CEO of the Stonebridge Companies, and his wife, Rita.


Which TCL version are you using?
Is there a reason that you use VM instead of Oracle's VIrtual Box?
- I use both... but I was trying VMware first... for no special reason!
PS - Do you know how to install VirtualBox Guest Additions on TCL?
3. Copy the installer to some place on a hard drive (because it is not small , e.g.
I've installed "Xorg-7.6.tcz" and "virtualbox-ose-additions.tcz"... but it isn't working... what am I missing or doing wrong?
PS - I've copied "xorg.conf.example" to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"... changed the keyboard layout to "pt"... and added it to "/opt/.filetool.lst"... and the keyboard it's working... but if I try to change the screen resolution... X doesn't start!
to /home/tc/ at the TCL machine. Virtual Box is stable - a few days a new version 4.1.16... came out.
You'll need the VirtualBox Additions to work... which is exactly my problem at the moment!

June 24/10 - Relay 2010 Wrap-Up
Relay 2010 Wrap-Up
Last weekend (June 18-19), Team Darrel participated for the third time at the Relay For Life here in Fergus. If you have never attended one of these events put on by the Canadian Cancer Society, you have been missing something very special. From the Survivors Lap, to the emotional testimonials by others who have been touched by cancer, to the lighting of the luminaries, it is just something you have to be there to experience for yourself.
The weather, though it threatened to get nasty a couple of times, co-operated with us this year. On our first year, we spent several hours in a nearby barn, as the Cancer Society closed the track off due to safety concerns as the rain came down during an electircal storm; while last year it was cold...very cold (and considered all the natural insolation I have on me, that is putting it lightly). This year, it was a nice temperature throughout the event, and even the bugs for the most part, took the night off (but they still attacked my Mother...they always do for some reason).
One of the highlights of the event was when our Team member Janet Willfang had her head shaved on Stage, as she pledged to do so if received over $500.00 in donations for the Relay. Considering she made this proposition quite late in the fundraising, Janet (and the rest of us) were surprised when she achieved this goal. Our team members each had a turn with the shaver, as well as her husband Darryl (who was never too far away). Many from the event gathered at the Stage to cheer her on, and Janet was given a nice send off once we were finished the buzzing.
For me personally, the part I look most forward to, and also to a certain degree dread, is between 3-5AM. With only the luminaries guiding the way, the night damp chill in the air and on the ground, and not as many participants on the track, it brings home the reason why we have all gathered on the site for the evening. The isolation, quiet fear, lack of sleep,
feeling of utter helplessness, and desolation of what myself and our family has gone through,
and on some levels contiunes to through, comes into a kind of blurry focus in these early hours of the morning. It brings out every emotion possible ... but at the end is always Darrel,
with his dancing eyes, amazing smile, and the strength and courage of incredible amounts waiting to greet me at the finish. For those moments, it doesn't matter how much money was raised, or anything else for that matter. That is why I Relay!
Speaking of money raised, though the official number hasn't been given yet, Team Darrel collected $2491.00 in sponsors for the Canadian Cancer Society, and an additional $72.00 will go to the James Fund from button sales and other means!!! Congratulations to everyone who played any part in making this a successful night to remember for my family and myself. Together, we made a difference!! Your continued support is as appreciated now, as it was when Darrel was still with us.
Team Darrel 2010 was: Stephen Robb, Kira Robb, Lauren Robb, John Robb, Helen Robb,
Bryan Robb, Janet Willfang, Kim McKnight, Sharon Snider, Payge Hough, Mackenzie Wass
and Morghan McKnight.
Playground Memorial Luminaries were lit for: Sammie Hartsfield, Jenessa "Boey" Byers, Max Corp, and Braeden "Super Bub" Burgess.
Special Thanks go to the following:
My Parents (John and Helen) - They are not as young and full of energy as they once were, but for the third year, they lasted from Start to Finish of the Relay, in memory of their grandson, and they know how much this event means to me as well.
Janet - Making the sacrifice of her hair to help The Cancer Society assist other families who have been touched to cancer in some way. (I'll also give extra small kudos to her husband Darryl for being such a good sport about all this, even though he really hoped it would not happen).
Rebecca, Sharon, Kim L., and everyone baked and/or brought goodies and did Coffee runs to Tim Horton's to keep the Team moving.
All the Members on Team Darrel - Without you, your support of myself and my family, and this wonderful event, none of this evening could have happened.
Totals given in this week's Wellington Advertiser show 20 teams that participated in Fergus brought in $47,497.00 (with more still coming in)!! Thanks Again everyone!!
The majority of all these entries were written by Darrel's father, Stephen. For those that are not, efforts have been made to give proper credit where it is due.
The bulk of the posts are in the June 2011 Archives Section, as that is when I transferred them over to this site. Category Tags should allow you to find entries easier.
I've tried to correct spacing issues on many of the entries, as most of the older ones have been copied from different sites I've used in the past. I apologize if some have been overlooked.

Plan Seeks Co-Guardian for Michael Jackson's Kids
A lawyer representing Katherine Jackson said he will file legal documents that would make the children's cousin TJ Jackson a co-guardian.
By LINDA DEUTSCH and ANTHONY MCCARTNEY	• Published at 12:03 am on August 2, 2012
In the wake of a family dispute that spilled into the media, the living arrangements and guardianship of Michael Jackson's three children are expected to be determined by an upcoming court hearing.
A lawyer representing Katherine Jackson, the pop superstar's 82-year-old mother, said he will file legal documents that would make the children's cousin TJ Jackson a co-guardian. The plan appears designed to remove pressure from Katherine Jackson who was named in her son's will as the children's sole guardian.
Perry Sanders Jr., Katherine Jackson's lawyer, has said the arrangement will allow his client to focus on the children's upbringing and not on financial or logistics issues.
Legal papers outlining the plan were expected to be filed Thursday in Los Angeles. Superior Court Judge Michael Beckloff is likely to order a hearing regarding the agreement.
TJ Jackson, 34, was appointed as temporary guardian in a court hearing after a bizarre episode in which Katherine Jackson was reported missing but later turned up at an Arizona spa.
Judge Beckloff said last week that he didn't believe Katherine Jackson had done anything wrong but suspended her guardianship duties because she had been out of contact with her grandchildren for 10 days. She returned from her trip hours after last week's hearing replaced her with TJ Jackson as guardian of Prince, 15, Paris, 14 and Blanket, 10.
The new agreement would call for TJ Jackson to remain a co-guardian, with control over the staff and day-to-day operations of the home where Katherine Jackson and her grandchildren currently live.
The changes in guardianship come on the heels of family dissension over Michael Jackson's will, which left nothing to his siblings when he died three years ago. Several of them signed a letter which was leaked to the press alleging the will was a fake and calling on executors of the estate to resign.
The dispute at one point led to a driveway confrontation involving several family members at the Calabasas mansion where Katherine Jackson and the children have been living.
On Wednesday, Jermaine Jackson issued a plea for peace in the family and withdrew his support of the letter.
In a statement first released to The Associated Press, he said he regretted the public turmoil that resulted from his mother's recent trip and believes subsequent matters regarding his mother and the children should be handled privately.
"Mistakes have been made and irrational things have been said on both sides in a highly charged emotional environment," Jermaine Jackson wrote. "It is time for us all to draw a line in the sand and move toward peace, co-operation, love and healing."
Jermaine Jackson wrote that the family is still raw from Michael Jackson's death, and his mother has endured incredible stress and pressures since then. "After much soul-searching, it is clearly time for us to live by Michael's words about love not war," he wrote.
Another party to the Jackson family drama, singer Diana Ross, who was named by Michael Jackson in his will as a potential guardian of the children if Katherine Jackson was not available, issued her own statement saying the recent turmoil involving Jackson's children and the appointment of a temporary guardian is a private matter and shouldn't be playing out publicly.
Ross wrote in a statement to The Associated Press that "all interests are best served if it remains private."
Ross and Jackson were longtime friends before his death in 2009. She has been given notice of court proceedings, but the new agreement apparently will relieve her of any guardianship duties, specifying that Katherine and TJ Jackson could replace each other if one or the other became unavailable to serve.
Jermaine Jackson said in his statement that by the time of the driveway confrontation on July 23, "it was clear that mutual suspicions had allowed events to spiral out of control." He said that he, Randy and Janet Jackson went to the Calabasas home to try to talk to the children.
"I regret that events were ever allowed to reach such a stage," he wrote. "I regret any distress caused to Prince, Paris and Blanket. That was never, ever the intention of myself, Janet, Rebbie or Randy."

Q: Blow-up of derivative of BV function at the jump set "Motivation"
Let $u\in BV(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be a function of bounded variation, and let $x\in J_u$ be a point in its jump set.  For $\mathcal{H}^{n-1}$-a.e. such $x$, we can define the unit normal $\nu$ to the boundary, and an upper and lower limit $u^+$ and $u^-$ such that
$$
\lim_{r\to 0} \frac{1}{|B_r(0)|} \int_{B_r(0)\cap H^+_\nu} |u(x+y)-u^+|\,dy
= 0
$$
and
$$
\lim_{r\to 0} \frac{1}{|B_r(0)|} \int_{B_r(0)\cap H^-_\nu} |u(x+y)-u^-|\,dy
= 0
$$
where $H^+_\nu$ and $H^-_\nu$ represent the upper and lower half-spaces with respect to the unit normal $\nu$.  This gives us convergence of the blow-ups of $u$ to a piecewise constant function across a flat jump in $L^1$.  In fact, according to the textbook by Evans and Gariepy we can obtain convergence in $L^{n/n-1}$.
My question is about the convergence of the blow-ups of $Du$, the distributional gradient of $u$.  In the case $u=1_E$ that $u$ is the indicator function for a set of finite perimeter $E$, a consequence of De Giorgi's structure theorem is that the blowups $Du$ (and more interestingly, of $|Du|$) converge to the the surface measure of a hyperplane.  I was wondering whether this is still true in the case of a general function of bounded variation.
Actual Question
More precisely, let $|Du_{x,r}|$ denote the blowup of the measure $|Du|$ at the point $x$ with scale $r$, defined by $|Du_{x,r}|(A) = |Du|(rA+x)$ for Borel sets $A\subset \mathbb{R}^n$.  The question is then:

Does the sequence of blow-ups
  $|Du_{x,r}|$ converge weak-* to the surface measure of the half-plane $H_\nu$ for $\mathcal{H}^{n-1}$-a.e. $x\in J_u$?

A: I think you forgot to divide by $r^{n-1}$. Even for sets of finite perimeters
what you are claiming is not true. If you take $E=\{(y,t)\in\mathbb{R}%
^{n-1}\times\mathbb{R}:\,t<f(y)\}$, where $f$ is a very regular function, then
$\partial E$ is just the graph of $f$ and so the perimeter of $E$ is just the
surface area given by
$$
\Vert\partial E\Vert(G)=\int_{G\cap\partial E}1\,d\mathcal{H}^{n-1}=\int%
_{F}\sqrt{1+|\nabla f(y)|^{2}}dy
$$
where $F=\{y\in\mathbb{R}^{n-1}:\,(y,f(y))\in G\}$. So if you take
$G=rB(0,1)+x=B(x,r)$ with $x=(y_{0},f(y_{0}))$ you get
$$
\Vert\partial E\Vert(B(x,r))=\int_{F_{r}}\sqrt{1+|\nabla f(y)|^{2}}dy
$$
where $F_{r}=\{y\in\mathbb{R}^{n-1}:\,(y,f(y))\in B((y_{0},f(y_{0})),r)\}$.
When $r\rightarrow0$ you have that $\chi_{F_{r}}\rightarrow\chi_{\{(y_{0}%
,f(y_{0}))\}}$ and so the integral goes to zero by the Lebesgue dominated
convergence theorem.
Instead if you divide by $r^{n-1}$ you get
$$
\frac{1}{r^{n-1}}\int_{F_{r}}\sqrt{1+|\nabla f(y)|^{2}}dy
$$
which converges.
For $BV$ functions you can prove that $Du$ can be written as the sum of three
mutually singular parts,
$$
Du=g\mathcal{L}^{N}+(u^{+}-u^{-})\nu_{u}\mathcal{H}^{n-1}\lfloor J_{u}+D^{c}u,
$$
where $D^{c}u$ is the Cantor part. The total variation will be
$$
\Vert Du\Vert(G)=\int_{G}|g|\,dx+\int_{G\cap J_{u}}|u^{+}-u^{-}|\,d\mathcal{H}%
^{n-1}+\Vert D^{c}u\Vert(G).
$$
So if you take $G=rA+x$ with $x\in J_{u}$ and divide by $r^{n-1}$, by
Besicovitch theorem you will have that the only relevant term is $\frac
{1}{r^{n-1}}\int_{(rA+x)\cap J_{u}}|u^{+}-u^{-}|\,d\mathcal{H}^{n-1}$ and
using graphs of functions as above you should prove that this goes weakly star
to $|u^{+}(x)-u^{-}(x)|\mathcal{H}^{n-1}\lfloor H_{x}$, where $H_{x}$ is the
hyperplane perpendicular to $v_{u}(x)$. A good reference is Ambrosio, Fusco,
Pallara  Theorems 3.77 and 3.78.
