The question is, how to make what we know, what we do?

And if you don't want to go through this in your church, or temple, or mosque, maybe read it!

It is employed by many cable television operators to provide Internet access over their existing hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) infrastructure. Docsis 3 was released in August 2006.

"...if they can innovate and take advantage of their bandwidth scale then there would be little the other broadband providers could do.. except Sky."

The nature of the problem I have admired and been inspired by Mark Ritchie. He has been a breath of fresh air and is bringing some energy to civic education and engagement. But this does concern me. The problem is not really that people who signed on a register at a meeting will be receiving materials they did not want. The problem is that state resources are going to promote one political candidate. When we have a system of campaign finance that requires careful accounting as to who is paying for what. And which does not allow public money to be used for campaigning.

Re: Ebay to buy back stolen items

Reader — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 16:12:26 -0000

Your article is very opinion formed and it shows that you have done very little research on the matter. If your account does get closed by ebay they do no let you open another one form the same home address. Also if you made people give away their drivers license or a voided check (which ebay makes you do in some circumstances such as suspended accounts or if their suspicious) how would that protect the buyer? It would make the sign up process longer and offer no extra protection. There is no way for ebay to know that an item is stolen. There are hundreds of auction sites just like ebay where thief could sell their items. Sure crime is a problem but i doubt that your little trick will do much.

Aside from being offensive, this is possibly the most poorly-thought-out post I have ever read. The second item is join the party and it is noted that many people - everyone - was a member of the Communist Party. But they were forced to join it; passion had very little to do with it. And because they were forced, "passion" had very little to do with it.

Was Chernobyl really a positive environmental legacy?

And what's with the whole comment of "Stalin's monstrous reign after World War 2?" Stalin ruled Russia in 1924, when he industrialized the countryside, no doubt a very "green" policy, until his death in the 50's.

What next? Hitler's green agenda?

Re: Cool Cat Teacher Blog: Violence and rumors of violence: South Georgia unrest

It's been a bit of a rough week across the country. In Rapid City, SD, our stresser was Tuesday, and here too our media doesn't seem to understand how they contribute to the problem - the local paper has comment abilities on the stories, and they became a rumor factory even as we and the students were still locked down in the school. Irresponsible journalism.

But we teachers can do it better. My kids have been writing and expressing their experiences in a special "lockdown blog," and to an interested reader, they tell the real story better than the media could ever hope to do.

I can't sing enough praises of James Farmer and learnerblogs. It's become the backbone of some of my classes and the kids love it. One girl said recently that the blogs help her know that her teacher cares more about what she thinks than getting grades in.

The other tool I'm hot on right now is del.icio.us. I've got my juniors using it to tag sources they're reading for a research project.

How do I stay motivated when no one seems to be on the same wagon? I'm doing my work not to please men . . . and I return to appreciating the kids I teach. They're so smart.

I am a parent. I am opposed to year round schools. The kids need the break to get to be kids. My kids read over the summer. We even do math problems. My kids get straight A's. I think it is MY job as a parent to make sure they don't backslide. They get time with grandparents, get to stay up late. As they get older, every "break" they would get in year round schools is stolen by sports if they are at all involved. Yes, it is hard in a 2 parent working family to coordinate the summer but I do it. I just wish the government would leave us alone. Stop changing when they can drive and when they go to school. Encourage people you know on a personal level, offer to help out if you have the time, and tell the government to GET OUT OF MY FAMILY!
