Letters to the troops
2007-01-05 12:00:07
Two weeks ago, 42 letters arrived on the same day."My chin just dropped," said Simona Simonyan, 8, a student at Trinity Christian School in Sacramento. The rest of her third-grade class was just as surprised, she said.Since early November, the class has been writing to newspapers across the country to ask their readers to write to American soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.In their letters, the 8- and 9-year-olds asked readers to write about sports teams, school, family and anything that would remind the troops of home.Readers mail the letters to Trinity so the class can forward them to the soldiers at a U.S. address set up for military personnel. The military will decide which letter goes to which soldier.Simonyan's teacher, Nate Turton, said he incorporated the project, dubbed "Operation Open Eyes," into his English class. During the first lesson, students wrote letters to the troops. But they realized -- since there were only 15 of them -- that th...

Old notes detail judge's thoughts
2007-01-03 23:59:01
When the call came last month, the donation didn't sound so promising. Eleanore Janetos of Rollinsford was offering the state Supreme Court a dozen to 20 boxes of old, bug-infested papers belonging to a former chief justice. An auctioneer had already picked over the collection, Janetos warned, and what remained was in poor shape. Law librarian Mary Searles went to Rollinsford the next day anyhow. "I didn't have very high hopes," she recalled, "and I was pleasantly surprised." Inside Janetos's garage, Searles found 88 boxes of court papers, histories, law books and financial records belonging to the late chief justice Charles Doe, who died in 1896 with a national reputation for making the court process simpler, fairer and more civil. He also authored a new standard for the insanity defense that is still used in New Hampshire today. Yes, there were bugs and mold in the boxes, as Janetos warned. But there were treasures, too. Perhaps the greatest are Doe's ...

The free lance star
2007-01-03 23:59:01
RECENTLY, MY husband and I were picking up some pre- sents for our two children for Hanukkah. There was frenzy afoot and we were part of it.The Charlie Brownish thoughts I often have in such situations came to mind. Why do we make ourselves crazy buying presents, wrapping presents, thinking about presents? This consumer consumption is just ridiculous. Cue the rest of the holier-than-thou rant.I had visions of making bird feeders and cookies for everyone and calling off the rest of the mess.Why don't we all do this? Thinking about it later, I remembered my mom's lists.My parents didn't buy the four of us a lot of presents during the year. Christmas was the time to blow it out. My mom would start writing her lists a few weeks before Christmas. We'd find the lists folded up in her coat pockets, left in piles of papers on the kitchen table, stuffed in the "junk" drawer.She'd write possible presents under each of our names in her elegantly looped cursive. The lists be...

Good penmanship is hard to find
2007-01-02 11:57:01
Before the Christmas season got too far gone, Leona Kaminski sat down with pen in hand and did what she does most every year: addressed and wrote by hand nearly 100 cards to far flung friends and family.It took her two full days, but the widowed Pinellas Park woman said it was worth every ink dribble."I like to put a little note in each one," said Kaminski, 73, "just so they know I'm thinking about them."Even as e-mail, blogging and instant messaging shove handwritten communication out of our daily lives, the winter holidays turn thousands of Americans like Kaminski into prolific pen pushers.It seems nothing says Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! I love you! Please come home soon! more than a loved one's distinct scrawl.But as the little ones prepare to write thank-yous to Nana and Papa for the Wii Nintendo game and Dancing Princesses Barbie, don't be surprised if their words are illegible.Most U.S. primary school children receive 10 minutes or less of han...

Cursive still connects
2007-01-01 11:56:03
Contrary to popular belief, cursive handwriting may not be dead yet.At least that's one conclusion to be drawn from the outpouring of responses to the Connect ions column's first-ever cursive contest. Announced in October, the contest asked people to explain how they learned to write in cursive and why they still do.About 200 people, all vying for five Democrat and Chronicle mugs, took pen or pencil in hand and responded. "Why am I still writing cursive?" began Elsie H. Graham, 72, of Victor. "Honey, why not?"Why not, indeed.One reason may be that cursive is not taught as much or as rigorously as it once was. The New York state Education Department standards for English Language Arts in grades 2 through 4 require students to "use legible print and/or cursive writing." "It is for the local school district to determine the best way to get its students to achieve that standard," wrote Jonathan Burman, a spokesman for the department, in an e...

Pen is still mightier than the e-mail

Some programs offer dedicated lessonsMany homeschooled children and those who attend private schools still receive dedicated lessons on penmanship.Recently at St. Petersburg Christian School, third-grade teacher Kathy Spangler spent 15 minutes reviewing the more tricky lowercase w, b and v in cursive.But first she made sure her 20 students were in proper handwriting position, with their backs against their chairs, their elbows on the table and their papers slanted - a key lesson for mastering the subject.The kids practiced writing each letter with their fingers in the air and then took pen in hand to practice on paper using the Zaner-Bloser method, the most popular handwriting curriculum.Spangler walked from table to table, praising her students for their "beautiful slants" and their "excellent formations."They will receive a grade on their report cards for penmanship.Spangler said she realizes many of her students will forgo cursive writing for print letter...

What are the benefits of outsourcing your technical writing
2007-01-01 11:56:03
You know that you need the help of a technical writing service when you don?t have employees with technical documentation experience, when your in-house technical publications group is overloaded and understaffed and you don?t have the time to hire and train new technical writers, and when your engineers don?t have the time to write customer-focused end user documentation in addition to creating your products. In such a situation, it?s only inevitable, not to mention sensible to hire the services of a technical writing service.And since your documentation is the first thing that visitors to your organization will scrutinize, you need technical documentation that reflects the organization?s quality and compliance activities. And unlike other pieces of writing, in technical writing of any documentation the use of words play have an important role. Tech nical writing is not the same as creative writing where use of action verbs and colorful adjectives and imagistic metaphors are en...

Cursive gets written out of student curricula

Bottom to top, retrace a little, make a tail.When Bonham Elementary School teacher Stephanie Nesius tries to teach youngsters how to dot the letter "i" and cross the letter "t'," she's faced with a group of children who might be more familiar with using a keyboard than a pencil."Remember, with cursive, (the letters) are all connected," she said, carefully writing the lowercase cursive "s" on the black chalkboard. "When you come down, make sure to loop around like a Hershey Kiss."Ah, the toils of learning to write in cursive.Remember the constant reminders to keep your paper slanted just so?What about those loops and tails, fancy uppercase f's and p's, and catchy tips and tricks?The process of learning to write cursive hasn't changed much in the last several decades. What has changed is the amount of time devoted to learning the skill.Teachers and scholars say they're worried that decreased instructional time and the increa...

E-mail writing: "they'll know what i mean" just doesn't cut
2007-01-01 11:56:03
by: Paul DochertyHave you ever wondered how people coped in the world of business before e-mail? If you're under 30, you've probably never worked in an office or with a company that didn't have it. So how did people manage without it? Easy: they communicated. Most businesses will admit that, while e-mail has some wonderful advantages, it isn't exactly without its pitfalls. We have a whole generation of workers coming through the ranks now who don't have the communication skills that many before us had. The art of conversation is undoubtedly dying and the business world will suffer as a result. Senior managers are realising that much of the miscommunication and misunderstanding in business today can be attributed to an impersonal communication style made so easy by e-mail. E-mail is a breeding ground for misunderstanding and ambiguity, with most people sadly ill-equipped to deal with the medium as a form of communication. So where is it falling down? To understand, we have ...

Making a 'U' turn
2007-01-01 11:56:03
NILES -- Go down, make a U-turn, bump back up and travel away.That's the route several third-graders completed Thursday morning at Brandywine Elementary School. But the vehicles they used were their fingers, and their two-lane road was nothing more than lines in a bright pink cursive manual.The letter in the 10-minute spotlight Thursday? "U."Siobhan Bruegmann's third-grade class is one of four classrooms, or 100 Brandywine Community Schools students, practicing a new way of cursive writing this year. It's called Handwriting Without Tears, and students were far from anything remotely related to tears as they embraced the easier format this week.Founded by nationally known occupational therapist Jan Z. Olsen, the Handwriting Without Tears program was designed to make print and cursive handwriting easier for students by helping with correct letter formation and by reducing reversals -- or writing a "b" instead of a "d," and vice versa, Bruegmann sa...

Of untruths and compromises in journalism
2007-01-01 11:56:03
The responsibility of a journalist to be as accurate as possible when reporting events can be well appreciated vis-à-vis a literary-cum-mathematical logic of Truth as expounded by a gentleman-journalist known as Craig Saila.Using Webster?s dictionary definition of truth, that is, ?body of real things, events, and facts,? as a premise, Saila says if x represents ?Fact 1,? and y, ?Fact 2,? then the dictionary definition would be: things + events + x + y = truth. If the variables including x and y are valued at 1, truth would equal 4. However, if ?Fact 2,? or y, emanated from a slightly different source, and as such had the value of 0.974, truth would equal 3.974 (mind you, no longer 4).What this means therefore is that the more facts that are added to the equation, the greater the depth that will exist in the value of truth. Meanwhile any inaccuracies emerging from the collection of the facts, or from within the facts themselves, will greatly alter the end value of truth. Accordi...

Free creative writing examples - Read book "for honor" #4
2007-01-01 11:56:03
SECTION ONE1638 A.D.He was an uncommonly attractive, intriguing man. And, yes, even beautiful, though the first person to tell him so would probably find a sword thrust through his or her gut. Well maybe not her gut. He was a gentleman. Perhaps one could best describe him as a stranger of unknown origin, virtually impossible to keep in one place.Some claimed he was a first-class rake, completely lacking moral scruples, a consummate lady's man devoted to charming each pretty woman he met. Others swore he was a saint-God's gift-an ideal protector who was loyal, honorable, and virtuous to a fault. Regardless of his perceived character, the man was not lazy and indolent, although his current posture-his body propped against the wall-almost supported that erroneous conclusion.Then again, the man was considered an enigma by even those who knew him well. Did anyone truly know the man who was a complex mishmash of the flirtatious seducer, an all-around lady's man and a compelling, s...

Coping with being left handed
2007-01-01 11:56:03
Bein g left handed can sometimes be a drag. This is because almost all hand-held devices, such as tools, have been designed with a right-handed individual in mind. This is because everything has been created to accommodate a right-handed society. In fact, most right-handed people don't even recognize that things have been made specifically for them. It's just the way that things are, and since they work so easily for right-handed people, it becomes second nature. Why all the discrimination against lefties? Based on the standards of tradition, the right hand has always been preferred to the left. Of course, today we live in a totally different world. Now it's no longer an issue if someone is a left hander. At least, not an issue as far as being judged by society, or having left handed tools available. This was not at all the case in the past, however, science has shown us that it is perfectly natural for some people to be left handed. If parents discover that their child prefe...

Have you ever thought why university professors require only custom papers? If your teachers just wanted you to get more knowledge about the subject and learn about various viewpoints they would not ask you to write a custom essay. Copying of someone?s theories would give you enough information about your topic. Custom essays are required because your professors assume that you?ll not simply restate someone?s ideas but, also, analyze them, develop your own point of view and then succeed in discovering new concepts in the future. Therefore, the benefits from ordering custom papers do not only include improvement of grades. Custom essay is the valuable source of innovative ideas which are generated at the highest point of writer?s inspiration. You may think, "Well, if I order 10-pages report on Wal-Mart performance I don?t need any creative approaches in my paper. I just want it to be written in MLA style in compliance with the outline given by my professor." Of course,...

Solve problems with a word list
2007-01-01 11:56:03
To creatively solve problems you need to get your mind looking in new directions. You can systematically do this by using a list of words, primarily adjectives, to create "what if?" scenarios. You start with the question, "what if it was..." and then insert a word from the list. The "it" in the question is the problem you're trying to solve, or the solution or situation that exists now.Using "What If" To Solve Problem s An example will help explain the process. Assume your house is too crowded because you're running your business from it. You ask, "What if it was..." and insert from the word list, "smaller." The house is already too small, but could the business be smaller? The word "divided" might give you the idea to keep the business in just one part of the house.Most words on the list won't help, so you can go through the irrelevant ones quickly. Don't automatically dismiss them, though, without a few s...

Diplomacy number one option with Iran: Bush.

Bush highlighted a meeting in New York yesterday of the major powers to try to find a strategy to force Iran to give up uranium enrichment. The meeting of the United States, Russia, Britain, China, France and Germany produced no agreement, however. The president was questioned whether economic sanctions could be applied. "I'm not going to comment on that," he replied. "I think its very important for good negotiators to keep their cards close to the chest and at the appropriate time, make it clear what our intentions are. This is a serious issue, taking a lot of our time as it should." The United States wants the UN Security Council to pass a resolution against Iran under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter. This would give Iran more time to meet international demands and eventully allow economic sanctions and even military action.          -->  Breaking News delivered by : OUTSOURCING CURSIVE WRITINGSun City Centre, Florida: US President George W Bush said that ...

Japan's royal birth a temporary respite
2006-12-07 23:37:01
By Hiroko TabuchiTokyo - The birth of the first male heir to Japan 's Chrysanthemum throne in decades has defused an imminent succession crisis, but the respite may only be temporary.Princess Kiko, the wife of Emperor Akihito's second son, gave birth to a boy - the emperor's first grandson - by Caesarean section early Wednesday.The new prince may prevent a succession crunch in the coming generation of the royal family, but the monarchy's male-only succession system stills needs a major overhaul to avoid a similar crisis in following generations, royal-watchers say."The imperial family has escaped the succession crisis, but only for the moment," said Koichi Yokota, a professor in constitutional law at Ryutsu Keizai University in Ibaraki."The family still has only one male successor in the youngest generation, and the system is far from stable," he added.Before Kiko's pregnancy, the possibility of no male in the next generation had triggered heated debate ...

Police: Boy, 8, releases parking brake, bus runs over girl

NEW YORK (AP) -- An 8-year-old boy was in custody after he sneaked onto a school bus and released its parking brake, causing it to roll forward and fatally strike a second-grader, police said Tuesday.Officer Doris Garcia had said the boy was to be charged with criminally negligent homicide. But police later directed followup queries to the city's corporation counsel, which would handle the case if it goes to family court.That office was still examining the issue Tuesday, said spokeswoman Kate Ahlers. The boy's name was being withheld because of his age.Amber Sadiq, 8, was crossing the street near her school Monday afternoon when she was struck by the bus in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown Heights."She tried to run, but the garbage can was in the way," said 12-year-old Kassandra Polanco, who saw the bus bearing down on the girl.Councilwoman Letitia James, who represents parts of Brooklyn, said a "concerned citizen" saw two boys -- the 8-year-old and a 10...

Data on 26 million veterans stolen from home

The computer records include names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth, Nicholson said. The Department of Veterans Affairs disclosed the theft Monday and said it has seen no indication that the information has been misused.The missing data does not include health records or financial information, the department said. It does include some disability ratings and data on some veterans' spouses.The VA would not identify the employee who was robbed or the location of his home, and would say only that the burglary happened this month.Nicholson disclosed few details about the theft, citing an investigation by his department's inspector general and the FBI. But he said, "We think that it wasn't a targeted burglary.""They weren't after this [data],"...

Bush Presses for Immigration Legislation

WASHINGTON -     President Bush urged Congress on Saturday to find a middle ground between mass deportation or instant U.S. citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants already living in AmericaBush's radio message was the third time this week he has spoken out about immigration.On Monday, in a televised address from the Oval Office, Bush said he would order as many as 6,000 National Guard troops to secure the U.S. border with Mexico, and urged Congress to give millions of illegal immigrants a chance at citizenship.Bush said the National Guard troops would fill in temporarily while the nation's Border Patrol is expanded. He asked Congress to add 6,000 more Border Patrol agents by the end of his presidency and add 6,700 more beds so illegal immigrants can be detained while waiting for hearings.However,     Homeland Security Department Inspector General Richard L.

Bush Backs Plan for 370-Mile Border Fence
2006-12-07 23:37:01
YUMA, Ariz. -  President  supports a 370-mile long fence to seal off areas of the U.S.-Mexico border that are popular crossing points, his spokesman said as the president traveled to the Southwest for a first-hand look at federal efforts to control immigration. Bush had signaled opposition to widespread fencing in the past, but his support for the plan approved Wednesday by the Senate showed how eager he is to win over Republican conservatives who want to take a tougher approach toward keeping illegal immigrants out."We don't think you fence off the entire border," White House spokesman Tony Snow told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to the inspection visit. But, he added, "there are places when fences are appropriate."The Senate was following the lead of the House, which passed a bill last year that would have constructed 700 miles of fencing.Bush has talked repeatedly about building fences along the border in urban areas, but told CNN Espanol in Ma...

Google's Giant Sandbox

                                 Before we get too far into an explanation as to what Googl e ?s sandbox is, it must be noted that not everyone even agrees that the sandbox exists. The sandbox is actually nothing more than a theory developed to explain what many different SEO experts have witnessed with their listings. Whether or not the sandbox really exists is actually irrelevant when we know that the effects of the sandbox exist.Google?s sandbox is a relatively new filter that appeared to be put in place back in March of 2004. This happened after the widely publicized updates of Austin and Florida, and the implementation of what is known as the Austin update. If you are not sure what those are, there is no need to worry as those updates are now for the most part in the past. The sandbox filter seems to affect nearly all new websites placing them on an initial ?probation? status. The effect of this is that new websites may get into Google?s SERP?s (search engine results pages) ...
