http://edition.cnn.com/2012/03/22/world/europe/france-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 We can see from this link the most bloody massacre ever in an elementary school committed by aldult(s). How much hatred do humans have against others due to some reasons or non? How much the price did the murderers pay for his insane achievement? Lives of innocent children and himself. That is too much. How much love is need to devour the hatred. How can we bound wounded hearts, and put crazy souls into peace? Just too many questions at this moment. It reminds me that similar mishap happened in China recently. A jobless man cut throats of the school children, because of the strong willing to revenge the society, putting beast anger on irrelevant infants. What should we do to cure the disease?

Teachers discuss and demonstrate universal health precautions such as hand washing and disinfecting. These are both important techniques to utilize in order to keep germs and bacteria from spreading. They should be practiced regularly and when working with children should be especially careful while diapering and disposing of diapers as well as when feeding infants. This careful attention to eliminating germs and bacteria coupled with an emphasis on exercise, fresh air and rest will maintain a healthy safe home. Food Nutrition Au pairs will learn that a child needs nutritious meals and snacks in order to grow and develop. While living with their host family and taking care of children they will be actively participating in the provision of good nutrition each and every day. As a class they will cover various scenarios and situations that they may encounter during their year as an au pair. Starting solid food will certainly be an important topic for those au pairs who will be caring for infants. They will learn about developmental feeding milestones so that they know what children of all ages should be consuming. A close study of the food pyramid will supplement this knowledge as the au pairs learn about food groups, serving sizes and fun food activities to help their children eat healthy food. Also, an important subject when discussing food and nutrition is eating disorders. This is a topic that the au pairs will become familiar with in order to keep themselves and their friends healthy as well as their host families. Common Childhood Diseases As the Au Pairs experience a full year with their host family they will encounter many days when they need to identify symptoms of an illness. Teachers will discuss general warning signs of common illnesses followed by tips and helpful hints for taking care of sick children. They will also cover common childhood health problems such as allergies, asthma, chicken pox, diaper rash, and the common cold which many au pairs will encounter with their host children. They will learn about a wide variety of health problems in order to be better prepared for a year of childcare in the US. In addition they will learn about immunizations that can help prevent many childhood diseases. As vaccinations vary from country to country it is important that Au Pairs know what their children are immunized against. Safety and Emergency Education Teachers give au pairs and overview of basic first aid and what to do in case of an emergency. There is a strong emphasis on the fact that this is not a first aid course and the au pairs are encouraged to take a first aid course within the first 3 months of their stay in the United States. The key points of this segment of the training are being prepared; having first aid kits stocked and accessible and to always check with parents before administering medicine to a child. Au pairs are taught how to make a home safety checklist and to childproof the various rooms in the home. While discussing safety at home, teachers touch upon gun safety and the risks around home exercise equipment as well. Risks outside of the home are covered as well. Vehicle safety, school bus safety, bicycle safety and other topics that pertain to daily life with a child are covered. Effective Communication Tips for good communication with host children and host parents are given an practiced in order to be prepared to begin the year as an au pair. Effective communication is broken down into categories that are easy to understand and put into practice: never assume, be pleasant, think, listen and understand, respect and facial expressions and body language. Each of these subcategories is practiced during class and in the communication workshop. Other techniques such as frequent sharing and a daily communication log are suggested. The importance of verbal and non-verbal as well as written communication is stressed as English levels vary and not everything will be interpreted the way it was intended by the host family and/or the au pair. Au Pairs as Role Models As a day to day influence in their host families’ life each au pair is a role model in their home. The au pairs learn that host children will look up to them and imitate their attitudes and behaviors. It is important for au pairs to work closely with the host parents and to look at them as partners. From the first time they meet an au pair should get to know each family member and learn about their interests and values so that the au pair can incorporate them into the daily activities so that she can reciprocate by sharing her culture with them in a fun way. An au pair must be very aware of her habits and appearance. Smoking can be a sensitive issue with a host family especially concerning host children and exposure to second hand smoke. Not only can this affect the children's health but having a smoker in the house can influence their attitude towards smoking, making it an attractive option. Au pairs must also be sure to present themselves appropriately being careful to dress reasonably and to consult host parents about any piercings or tattoos that the children may see. Another concern is computer safety. An au pair can help to monitor her host children's computer use but she should also be careful when she is using the computer so as to not put herself or her host children in danger. Being an au pair can be stressful. There is a lot of responsibility and the au pair has to think about how she is influencing her host children at all times. It is important to be able to identify and manage stress so that it will not affect her health, behavior or quality of care. Ages Stages: Birth to Teenage Years The au pairs learn that children continue to develop from birth through their teenage years. The teachers emphasize that each child develops at his or her own pace. Development is broken down into different categories that can be followed during each year of a child's life. These categories are: physical development, language development, cognitive development, social-emotional development. Within each of these categories au pairs learn about important development landmarks to watch for. Each age group is discussed in terms of these four categories. Au pairs split up to do extensive research on the ages groups that they will be caring for so that they have a better idea of what to expect during their year as an au pair. Age-appropriate Materials and Activities Au pairs learn about toys, learning materials, and activities that are age appropriate in order to help their host children learn, have fun and stay safe throughout their year together. General interests of children in each age group are discussed, with the understanding that children's interest vary and may not fit neatly into these categories. Next, the teachers discuss how to select safe toys for their host children. They go over resources for creative development that may prove as an alternative for TV or video games and will help them to get involved in their local community. Finally, they are presented with a reading list for children which provides titles and authors of books for a wide range of ages. Building Self-esteem in Children Au pairs learn to emphasize the importance of beginning at the earliest age to develop a child's positive self-concept and to explore ways to do this. An au pair, a major influence in the life of a host child, has the task of supporting development by modeling skills of compassion, tolerance and love. These actions help to build a positive self-concept in children which will help determine the child's success in both school and later in life. The au pairs are taught how to respect children's identities and help to support children when they are hurt and to make it clear when behavior is unacceptable leading toward conflict resolution. They learn to teach fairness and to answer questions directly, encourage pride and finally to help children help themselves. It is important to be aware of the other influences in the host children's lives including friends, books and toys to help evaluate them for bias and stereotyping. Behavior Management Au pairs learn to emphasize the importance of beginning at the earliest age to develop a child's positive self-concept and ways to do this. Teachers provide hints for positive behavior management. They learn how to structure a child's environment in order to make it safe and child friendly. Au pairs learn to use natural or logical consequences, a system of punishments and rewards that are appropriate for the situation. Next, they learn to offer the children choices whenever possible and, when a child's behavior is inappropriate, to talk about the behavior and not the child. Au pairs are reminded to use positive statements, to expect cooperation and to be consistent in enforcing rules. Au pairs can also help their host children to use their words instead of force and to solve problems democratically. A variety of common behavioral issues and disciplinary approaches are discussed in order to give an overview of what the au pairs may encounter throughout their year. Cultural Care Au Pair * Cultural Care Au Pair is the largest and most experienced au pair organization in the U.S., having successfully placed more than 75,000 au pairs in welcoming American homes since 1989. http://www.aupairtrainingschool.com/classes.html

Tuition is not cheap for out-of-state students at a state university. So, you would think that they would come to classes and do their homework so that their money or their parents' money is not wasted. Well, one of my former students said her brother died (so she had to be away for days), but could not provide any evidence. I heard that such excuse is used routinely by undergraduate students. May God bless these students' relatives!

New England Complex Systems Institute Winter School on Complex Systems We are pleased to announce the dates of our upcoming courses on complex systems: Jan. 3-7, 2011 / Complex Physical, Biological Social Systems Jan. 9, 2011 / Computer Programming and Complex Systems Jan. 10-14, 2011 / Complex Systems Modeling and Networks Target Audience These courses are intended for faculty, graduate students, post- doctoral fellows, professionals and others who would like to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of complex systems, and develop methodological tools for conducting research in their respective fields, or as a basis for pursuing complex systems research. The winter school offers two intensive week-long courses. The courses consist of lectures, discussions, and supervised group projects. Though the second week builds on material covered in the previous week, CX201 is not a prerequisite for CX202. You may register for either or both weeks. If desired, arrangements for credit at a home institution may be made in advance. See course descriptions below or online at: www.necsi.edu/education/school.html WEEK ONE CX201: Complex Physical, Biological and Social Systems Dates: January 3-7, 2011|Location: MIT, Cambridge, MA This course offers an introduction to the essential concepts of complex systems and related mathematical methods and simulation strategies with application to physical, biological and social systems. The course will particularly focus on the use of multiscale representations as a unifying approach to complex systems concepts, methods and applications. Concepts to be discussed include: emergence, complexity, networks, self-organization, pattern formation, evolution, adaptation, fractals, chaos, cooperation, competition, attractors, interdependence, scaling, dynamic response, information, and function. Methods to be discussed include: statistical methods, cellular automata, agent-based modeling, pattern recognition, system representation and informatics. LAB CX102: Computer Programming and Complex Systems Date: January 9, 2011|Location: MIT, Cambridge, MA This course introduces computer programming in the Python language for those with little or no computer programming experience. It is designed as a precursor to CX202. The course will present programming concepts and hands-on exercises. Topics to be covered include: data structures, algorithms, variables and assignments, numerical and logical operations, lists and dictionaries, user-defined functions, flow control, loops, and visualization. WEEK TWO CX202: Complex Systems Modeling and Networks Dates: January 10-14, 2011|Location: MIT, Cambridge, MA This course provides (a) an introduction to building models of complex systems (physical, biological, social and engineered), and (b) the study of networks, including topologies and dynamics of real world networks. The course will cover the basic construction and analysis of models including identifying what is to be modeled, constructing a mathematical representation, analysis tools and implementing and simulating the model in a computer program. Particular attention will be paid to choosing the right level of detail for the model, testing its robustness, and discussing which questions a given model can or cannot answer. The study of networks will introduce the use of network topologies and the characterization of networks describing complex systems, including such concepts as small worlds, degree distribution, diameter, clustering coefficient, modules, and motifs. Different types of network topologies and network behaviors that model aspects of real complex systems will be described including: modular, sparse, random, scale-free, influence, transport, transformation, and structure. NOTE: Students without a background in programming are strongly recommended to attend CX102: Computer Programming and Complex Systems in conjunction with CX202. Comments from past students Excellent course... useful thematic overview... applications in diverse contexts were exciting. Particularly appreciated the group project - excellent experiential pedagogy. The course was an eye-opening framework to analyze my work through a different lens. Presentations were extremely useful for me in understanding how to begin modeling complex systems and assessing them. Helped me understand a lot of things I have been doing so far without clearly understanding the principles. This class very much stretched my mind to apply the ideas of complexity to the world... I believe I learned more on a grander scale...will help enrich my vocabulary and the way of thinking in the world with respect to complexity. Excellent class. I hope to take a more active role in the community. For more information and registration: www.necsi.edu/education/school.html

立委按：《High School Musical 123》, 这个中学生歌舞系列美仑美奂，朝气逼人，值得推荐。男女主人公美丽无比，魅力四射。 《High School Musical 3》- Can I have this dance 《立委随笔：Disney High School Musical 值得一看》 (1853 bytes) Posted by: 立委 Date: April 22, 2007 09:59AM 真有有魅力的少男少女：Disney High School Musical 值得一看 女儿特别喜欢看这部 Disney Movie, 看了很多遍，一边看，一边随着跳舞。前两天坐下来陪女儿从头看一遍，发现男女主人公真是美丽无比，魅力无穷，特别是那个少女 Gabriella (Vannessa Anna Hudgens)，怀春的顾盼流转，媚而不妖，青春气息逼人，让人看不够。 阳光、健康、自然、青春。 一笑倾城，二笑倾国，三笑...... 她的照片不如真人。必须看电影才能明白，这是怎样的一种美丽。特别是她在那段对唱中的表演，眉目传情，流转顾盼。那双眼睛很神奇，笑容富有魅力。 High School Musical 精彩片断 看了两遍《High School Musical 2》，实在是好哇。 (343 bytes) Posted by: 立委 Date: August 18, 2007 01:31PM 那种青春活力和浪漫气息，音乐舞蹈，让人难忘。 演员阵容不变，音乐舞蹈制作精良，富有朝气和动感。 两位男女主人公 Troy 和 Gabriella 青春亮丽，妩媚尽显。 除了漂亮的 Troy 和 Gabriella 外，我还特别喜欢 Ryan，他是天生的喜剧演员，长相做派，一招一势，从骨子里透出轻松和幽默。 故事写那个阔人的金发女儿，好出风头，嫉妒心强，利用权势，以帮助男主人公获得大学奖学金为诱饵，把他拉拢过来跟她对唱，做 talent show。在这个过程中的女主人公Vannessa 显得大度得体，性格温和善良，形成强烈对比。结局自然是大团圆，同学重归于好，男女主人公重新成为黄金搭档，金发女孩也吸取教训，融入集体。 -------- Vanessa Hudgens 访谈中谈到她是典型的混血儿，原来还有部分中国人族裔背景呢： You have such a lovely look. I would like to know what your ethnic background is It's a lot of things. My Mom is Filipino and my Dad is Caucasian. With that, I am Chinese, Spanish, American Indian, and Irish. 天哪，难怪她漂亮得与人不同：身上流淌着白人，中国人，西班牙人，印第安人和爱尔兰人的血液，那是采各家之长，才造就了不世出的尤物。 -------- 立委名言：一切都会随风而去，而美永存。 2006年09月04日 精彩片段： http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/5baF1A2Xq8E/ http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/VvWUyMKy00U/ http://www.starlakeporch.net/bbs/read.php?1,60696,60698#msg-60698 http://www.starlakeporch.net/bbs/read.php?45,19524
Suddenly, I feel like a frog at the bottom of a deep well... I know private high schools in the U.S. can cost a lot. Punahou is a great school, and its annual tuition goes UP every year--it will be USD 17,800 for the school year of 2010-2011. (If it were NOT for the poor economy, it could have been USD 500 more.) What I never heard of, until today, is that a private school in the U.S. can charge tuition differently, that is, charging an international student more than twice of its "normal tuition." I am talking about tuition alone, not including boarding, etc. If someone knows a private school that does this, that is, charging international students much more, could you please leave me a link in the comment area? Maybe this is the way the U.S. can try to get out of its recession (in addition to rejecting Chinese for their visa applications)?
