Santa Paula: Measure T Commission Faces Stark Realities of Budget
By Sheryl Hamlin
The second meeting of the Measure T commission was held on June 14, 2017. The inaugural meeting was reported here.
Chair Kristin Majda reported all five members present along with staff members Rick Araiza, Interim City Manager, Mike Sedell, former Simi Valley City Manager and consultant, James Cotti, city attorney, Ed Mount, Community Services Director, Sandra Easley, Finance Director, Ron Howard and John Ilasin, Public Works, Luis Esparza, SPFD and Steve McLean, SPPD Chief. There were nine citizens in the audience, including Council Member Garman who did not stay for the entire meeting.
Report on Commissions in Other Jurisdictions
Jose Melgar's action item from the previous meeting was a report on similar commissions in other areas. He reported on the Measure J in Palm Springs, saying that the oversight commission in that jurisdiction was using collected funds as the measure intended for the downtown and will distribute the report. Rick Araiza noted that the Ventura Measure O Commission was recently inaugurated and this too should be watched.
Although not reported by Mr. Melgar, both the PS Measure J and the Ventura Measure O are General Taxes. The PS Measure J is identical to the SP Measure T in that both ballot measures stated "priorities". Measure O simply said "maintain city services", so it was more broad than either SP Measure T or PS Measure J. The PS Measure J Commission meets monthly while the Ventura Measure O meets quarterly, which would be a minimum because the sales taxes are received in quarters.
Measure T and the Budget
Mike Sedell reiterated a concept that he has used several times before saying "Santa Paula is a full service city with a contract city revenue". Unfortunately he did not quantify this description or give a financial model that would fit a contract city, although it is generally understood that a "contract city" does not have employees, but deploys contractual services, which saves on employee costs, such as pensions, benefits and workers' compensation, an amount over which a city has little control. Note that previously Sandra Easley reported that the proposed budget has $718,855 in such costs, which are out of the city's control at this point.
Mr. Sedell also reiterated the precariously low state of the city's General Fund reserves which could be depleted in two weeks saying "the city needs to start doing things differently" and that "obviously cuts are needed". But, of course, there are no easy cuts any more, he said, and the budget is "not looking good". He said the deficit had grown to $1.8 million from the $1.5 million stated at the last council meeting, but did not elaborate on the increased deficit.
Measure T has the potential to help the deficit temporarily, but because employee costs are growing faster than revenues, the situation will reappear until this structural imbalance is rectified. The structural imbalance concept was not discussed at the meeting.
The Commssion discussed the issue of using Measure T funds to fill the budget gap or for new services. Mr. Sedell said that the council will eventually decide and reminded the commission that the majority of the budget is police and fire.
The Commission realized that recommending before a budget is presented is challenging, but Mr. Sedell said that the Commission must recommend to the council prior to the June 26th council meeting where the FY 2017/2018 budget would be approved.
Sandra Easeley confirmed that the Measure T funds, which are expected to be $135,000 for the current fiscal year and $2.050 million for the next fiscal year, would be kept in a separate subaccount of the General Fund which will be auditable.
Mr. Sedell is recommending an interim budget rather than a Continuing Resolution (CR), as suggested by Vice Mayor Gherardi, saying that a CR allows overspending, where an interim budget gives the council more discipline.
Santa Paula Police Department
Chief McLean reiterated the report he gave to council previously, However, at that time, he said seven of the 31 officers were out on disability, now it is 8 out of 31 saying "some may never come back.". He indicated the city was still paying salary and benefits for these officers, but did not offer a time limit for this period of leave nor did he offer information on the cost to the city of these payments. With 25% of the SPPD unavailable for work, the budgetary issues are obvious, as well as the safety of the city. Do all cities budget for a police department with 25% of its force on leave? Do they all supplement with overtime as Santa Paula does? A member of the SP POA spoke saying that many officers are looking for work elsewhere where higher pay is offered. And, according to a report distributed by Chair Majda, "the police would like "30% increase in pay over three years costing about $470,000 to retain current officers." That report was distributed in hard copy only.
Santa Paula Fire Department
Luis Esparza summarized reports on the fire department funding which have been reported here. The Commission discussed the timeline with respect to LAFCO. Chief Esparza noted that originally the goal was a September 2017 annexation to coincide with the end of the SAFER Grant, but now it appears that October or November is more likely. Mr. Cotti said that no Measure T funds would go to fire if the annexation were approved, yet Mike Sedell said that the first year would be challenging, because the city would have to pay VCFPD directly for a partial year. Each month without the SAFER Grant, explained Chief Esparza, costs about $39,000.
In Chair Majda's report, she suggested that the unfunded liabilities surrounding the annexation had not been thoroughly vetted. Mr. Sedell said that more would be available in the Saturday, June 17th Special Budget meeting.
Chair Majda's distributed report indicated a year one VCFPD cost of $2.8 million which is not correct. In the initial presentation by Chief Araiza, the full first year was estimated at $3.135 million.
The $3.135 million initial estimate makes sense considering how the county calculates the tax sharing using increments and factors. The current Santa Paula tax increment is about $19 million of which Santa Paula is allowed a slice amounting to .2088 or $3.9 million. If the VCFPD is to get .165 of $19 million, this would equal $3.135 leaving Santa Paula with an allocation of .0438 or $832,000. Read more here about this calculation. The tax consultants used by the city have forecast $3.850 million for FY 17/18 with an unexplained uncollectable amount of $326,000, as presented by Director Easley at the May 25th budget meeting. Note, none of this was discussed or explained to the Commission.
Mike Sedell said that the spreadsheets distributed in print at the May meeting have been completely redone for the Saturday meeting.
Public Works Department
John Ilasin, interim Public Works director, reported on street repairs, because this was one of the Measure T priorities given in the ballot measure. He explained that no General Funds are used for the street repairs now. They are piggy backing with the water and sewer repairs. Where there is a water or sewer repair, they are repaving the entire street.
He said that water and sewer "were as bad as the streets", presumably referring to the delivery infrastructure of these systems. He showed an engineering report which identifies 99 streets at or below the minimum acceptable level. Presumably this report was derived using the Pavement Management Software acquired by Brian Yanez, the previous Public Works Director.
The funding sources will be the 2010 bonds, TDA funds, and the recently passed SB 1 Gas Tax which is supposed to generate funds for street repair. Sandra Easley said that SB 1 could generate $335,000 the first year and up to $670,000 for the next year and perhaps $1.7 million when fully funded.
There was a discussion about the bonds used for these repairs. Neither the Finance Director nor the consultant described the actual situation correctly. Here is the situation as reported in the most recent Audited Financial Statement:
2010 Water Revenue Bonds
In February 2010, the Santa Paula Utility Authority, the "Utility Authority" (a component unit of the City of Santa Paula) issued $55,715,000 aggregate principal amount of Water Enterprise Revenue Bonds, 2010 Series, with proceeds used to effect the advance refunding of $25,700,000 of outstanding Santa Paula Public Financing Authority Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2003, finance certain improvements to the Authority's water system, fund a reserve account, fund capitalized interest on the non-refunding portion of the Water Bonds and pay costs of issuance for the Bonds. Of the $57,570,826 net proceeds from the 2010 Bonds, $27,483,814 plus an additional $1,160,572 of 2003 Bonds reserve fund monies were used to purchase U.S. Treasury Securities – State and Local Government Series. Those U.S. Treasury Securities – State and Local Government Series were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide for all future debt service payments on the 2003 Series Bonds. As a result, the 2003 Series Bonds are considered defeased and the liability for those bonds has been removed from the financial statements.
Note: that the defeasing of bonds is a legal Ponzi scheme which has been reported previously. By taking half of the 2010 proceeds to pay off the 2003 bonds, the city effectively has the use of only one half of the $55 million raised in the 2010 offering. This also doubles the effective interest on the 2010 bonds. The balance of the 2010 funds should be available at year end.
Community Services
Ed Mount presented a similar report which was given to council previously with the addition that his department had incurred massive cuts in 2005, an amount which was not given in the report.
In her distributed report, Chair Majda proposed a "Needs Analysis" to determine what needs exist and what services are already in place, as well as an oversight manager, who will coordinate services from various agencies such as the Community Services Department, SPUSD, SPLTH, First Five, Preschool programs, and Boys and Girls Club.
Public Comments
Realizing Public Comments had been overlooked, three members of the community spoke. Connie Tushla asked for clarification of the bonds. The SPPOA representative warned of potential loses in the force due to salaries. And Richard Rudman, who worked on both the failed Measure F (2014) and the successful Measure T (2016) said that the commission had to take the final before attending the course, which was a metaphorical way of explaining the challenge of recommending in a fluid situation.
Commissioner Chacon made an astute observation saying that the Measure T funds would just be like any grant unless made in perpetuity.
Commissioner Flores stated that Measure T was misrepresented to the voters. He said it was not represented as a budget balancing tool.
Chair Majda asked if members wanted to share their current thoughts on distribution. Both Commissioners Chacon and Flores wanted to wait until the next meeting. Commissioner Melgar said he was inclined to allocate 50% to the police, 20% to the fire, 20% to the Community Services and 10% to the streets and in the event the annexation moves forward, he would split the fire between Community Services and Public Works for streets. Commissioner Sobell said he would use $100,000 to tund the Assistant City Manager, $1 million to the SPPD, $400,000 to Community Services for youth and $300,000 to the streets and $300,000 to the fire totaling $2.1 million. The chair stressed the need for an integrated program for youth services. None of the commissioners suggested putting any of the monies from Measure T in reserve.
The Commission agreed that a single report would be delivered to the council and chose June 21st at 7:00 pm for the next meeting.
The Elephant in the Room: East Area 1
Revenue from East Area 1 was mentioned numerous times. Limoneira had previously given a build out schedule, but Mr. Sedell pointed out that they may encounter the next recession. Additionally, as was pointed out to City Attorney Cotti after the meeting, that nothing will happen until Limoneira obtains this 401 permit which is still in denial by the Waterboard. Note too that there are zero funds in the FY 17-18 forecast as Limoneira revenue and no dates for the East Area II commercial.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 pm, 3+ hours after the 7:10 start of the meeting. There was no audio or video of the meeting. The Commission sat around a rectangular layout rather than using the dais, which was difficult to hear because there were only two microphones on the long table. City Clerk Blanco took minutes.

"Hiding Out in Africa"
Ha ha ha ha... Dallas collector Kenny Goss shows up on Perez Hilton getting ripped off buying sunglasses with George Michael in South Africa (After Michael's recent brush with the law over his repeated drug use)
The Times has discovered that Michael and his boytoy have been staying at the upscale, $1,500 a night Lion Sand private game resort in Mpumalanga for the past week.
The two have spent several days in the resort's private chalet, with its own private pool. They've been enjoying private game drives as well.
Oh, and they were flown by helicopter to a nearby town, White River, to buy some sunglasses after Michael's pair were damaged. And after the 15 minute helicopter ride, Michael and Goss spent the day shopping in town.
Local salesmen said that Michael spent a "sufficient amount of money" on three pairs of sunglasses and a pair of reading glasses for Kenny. In other words, they got ripped off.
He also spent hundreds of dollars at a local art gallery, River Glass, where the manager said all the items purchased were "slightly African inspired."


text: Our district adopted Math Expressions as our math curriculum (below are pictures from my teachers' manual). This is our first year with Math Expressions and I am in LOVE with it! I previously blogged about the addition strategies the students have learned. With subtraction, the students learned three strategies: Common U.S. Method, Ungroup First Method, and Expanded Method. Again, the students use Proof Pictures to show the ungrouping in subtraction and how to "take away" from the bigger number.

Making Homemade Sauerkraut
Linda Kauppinen
Fresh uncooked sauerkraut has health benefits similar to yogurt. it has live lactobacillus cultures is beneficial as a probiotic food.
It is also a good source of fiber, iron, vitamin K and Vitamin C.
For more info on why unpasteurized sauerkraut is so good for you, please see this article from the Weston A Price foundation web site westonaprice.org/...cto-fermentation
I am a firm believer that homemade is best!
5 lbshredded cabbage
3 Tbspsalt
·boiling water
·be sure to check out helpful video posted under main photo in comments to show you how easy it is.
How to Make Making Homemade Sauerkraut
- Shred cabbage into narrow strips about 1/8 inch wide. Add 3 Tbsp salt to each 5 pounds of cabbage. Mix well.
- Pack "tightly" into clean, sterilized but cooled quart jars. Fill with boiling water to within 1/2 inch from the top of each jar.
- Turn lids on loosely and let jar stand in a dishpan for about 10 days. During this time the fermentation process causes the juice to expand and it will run over the edge of the jars.
- After 10 days turn the lids on tightly and store.
The sauerkraut is ready to use immediately.
- Variation:
After filling the jars with boiling water, seal them tightly immediately. Set in dish pan because the fermenting will cause the juice to expand and squeeze out of the jars. Let it set for 4 to 6 weeks before using.
- When ready to use, pour into a saucepan and heat or pile around a pork roast or spare ribs and bake.
Homemade sauerkraut has a better flavor and crunch than the store bought pasteurized version.
- Canning for Extended Storage:
Due to it's high acid content, Sauerkraut can be canned for long term storage using the hot packed water bath method
-Place the already fermented sauerkraut from the jars in large pans with it's juice, and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Don't boil it.
-Fill clean canning jars with hot sauerkraut and add juice leaving 1/2" headspace.
-Use a de-bubbler or table knife to remove bubbles from jars.
-Apply lids and rings and tighten to hand tight.
-Process pints for 15 minutes, and quarts for 30 minutes.

From Seo Wiki - Search Engine Optimization and Programming Languages
Sousveillance (pronounced /suːˈveɪləns/, French pronunciation: [suvɛjɑ̃s]) as well as inverse surveillance are terms coined by Steve Mann to describe the recording of an activity from the perspective of a participant in the activity,[1] typically by way of small portable or wearable recording devices that often stream continuous live video to the Internet.
Inverse surveillance is a subset of sousveillance with a particular emphasis on the "watchful vigilance from underneath" and a form of surveillance inquiry or legal protection involving the recording, monitoring, study, or analysis of surveillance systems, proponents of surveillance, and possibly also recordings of authority figures and their actions. Inverse surveillance is typically an activity undertaken by those who are generally the subject of surveillance, and may thus be thought of as a form of ethnography or ethnomethodology study (i.e. an analysis of the surveilled from the perspective of a participant in a society under surveillance).[2]
Sousveillance typically involves community-based recording from first person perspectives, without necessarily involving any specific political agenda, whereas inverse-surveillance is a form of sousveillance that is typically directed at, or used to collect data to analyze or study, surveillance or its proponents (e.g., the actions of police at a protest rally).
The term "sousveillance" stems from the contrasting French words sur, meaning "above", and sous, meaning "below", i.e. "surveillance" denotes the "eye-in-the-sky" watching from above, whereas "sousveillance" denotes bringing the camera or other means of observation down to human level, either physically (mounting cameras on people rather than on buildings), or hierarchically (ordinary people doing the watching, rather than higher authorities or architectures doing the watching).
Inverse surveillance
Inverse surveillance is a type of sousveillance. The more general concept of sousveillance goes beyond just inverse surveillance and the associated twentieth century political "us versus them" framework for citizens to photograph police, shoppers to photograph shopkeepers, or passengers to photograph taxicab drivers. (Rheingold notes that it's much like the pedestrian-driver concept, i.e. these are roles that many of us take both sides of, from time to time.)
One of the things that brought inverse surveillance to light was the reactions of security guards to electric seeing aids and similar sousveillance practices. It seemed, early on, that the more cameras that were in an establishment, the more the guards disliked the use of an electric seeing aid, such as the EyeTap eyeglasses, by the public. It was through simply wearing electric seeing aids, as a passive observer, that it was discovered that surveillance and sousveillance can cause conflict and sometimes confrontation. This led some researchers to explore why the perpetuators of surveillance are suspicious of sousveillance, and thus defined the notion of inverse surveillance as a new and interesting facet of studies in sousveillance.[3]
The Office of Community Sousveillance is currently engaged in "policing the police" and a number of "Sousveillance Officers" monitor police conduct and publish reports on police (mis)conduct.
Personal sousveillance
Personal sousveillance is the art, science, and technology of personal experience capture, processing, storage, retrieval, and transmission, such as lifelong audiovisual recording by way of cybernetic prosthetics, such as seeing-aids, visual memory aids, and the like. Even today's personal sousveillance technologies like camera phones and weblogs tend to build a sense of community, in contrast to surveillance that some have said is corrosive to community.
The legal, ethical, and policy issues surrounding personal sousveillance are largely yet to be explored, but there are close parallels to the social and legal norms surrounding recording of telephone conversations. When one or more parties to the conversation record it, we call that sousveillance, whereas when the conversation is recorded by a person who is not a party to the conversation (such as a prison guard violating a client-lawyer relationship), we call the recording "surveillance".
"Targeted sousveillance" refers to sousveillance of a specific individual by one or more other individuals. Usually the targeted individual is a representative or proponent of surveillance, so targeted sousveillance is often Inverse Surveillance (hierarchical sousveillance). "Hierarchical sousveillance" refers, for example, to citizens photographing police, shoppers photographing shopkeepers, or taxicab passengers photographing cab drivers. So, for example, targeting former White House security official Admiral John Poindexter with sousveillance follows this more political narrative. Classy's Kitchen describes sousveillance as "another way to add further introspection to the commons that keeps society open but still makes the world smaller and safer". In this way sousveillance may be regarded as a possible replacement for surveillance. In this sur/sousveillance replacement, one can consider an operative social norm that would require cameras to be attached to a human operator. Under such a scenario, objections to the camera can be raised by another human more easily than it is to interact with a lamp post upon which is mounted a surveillance camera. Thus the argument is that cameras attached to people ought to be less offensive than cameras attached to inanimate objects, because there is at least one responsible party present to operate the camera. This responsible-party argument is analogous to that used for operation of a motor vehicle, where a responsible driver is present, in contrast to remote or automated operation of a motor vehicle.
Beyond the political or breaching of hierarchical structure explored in academia, the more rapidly emerging discourse on sousveillance within industry is "personal sousveillance", namely the recording of an activity by a participant in the activity. In this sense, the Rodney King video was captured serendipitously by a citizen participating in a civil society. There was no political motive (i.e. the officers who were beating King were not targeted), and the material was captured more serendipitously.
As the technologies get smaller and easier to use, the capture, recording, and playback of everyday life gets that much easier. For example, David Ollila, a manufacturer of video camera equipment, was trapped for four hours aboard a Comair plane at JFK Airport in New York City. When he filmed an interview with the pilot about the situation, the pilot called the police who removed Ollila for questioning and removed everyone from the plane.[4]
In the limit, when the effort falls low enough, personal experience capture can be done without conscious thought or effort, wherein the person capturing the information becomes a "cyborg" in the Manfred Clynes sense. The "Sensecam" works this way, as does Gordon Bell's project at Microsoft. A logfile made in this way, with zero effort, is known as a CyborgLog, or glog. The most widespread sousveillance has spread without conscious design. Camera phones, digital cameras and digital video cameras have proliferated, affording the opportunity of easy, unobtrusive documentation using snapshots, videos and audio. The simplicity of a wearable camera phone makes cyborglogging possible simply by walking around in ordinary day-to-day life. Other devices such as a Holter heart monitor can add additional tracks to an audiovisual cyborglog that make the 'glog useful for personal safety and health monitoring.
Recording a situation is only part of the sousveillance process. Communicating is also important. This is where video-sharing sites such as YouTube and photo-sharing sites such as Flickr are important. For example, police agents provocateur were quickly revealed on YouTube when they infiltrated a demonstration in Montebello, Quebec against the leaders of Canada, Mexico and the United States (August 2007). When the head of the Quebec police publicly stated that there was no police presence, a sousveillance video showed him to be wrong. When he revised his statement to say that the police provocateurs were peaceful observers, the same video showed them to be masked, wearing police boots, and holding a rock.[5][6] There are many similar examples, such as the widely-viewed YouTube video of UCLA campus policemen tasering a student.[7]
Industrial interest
Microsoft is also exploring cyborglogs, as are Hewlett Packard, Nokia, and many others. Joi Ito's use of the camera phone approaches the idea of a cyborglog, in the sense that his images are sent often, and with little conscious thought or effort. Ito is part of the Program Committee for the International Conference on Sousveillance, along with the attendees of the International Workshop on Inverse Surveillance.
The recent industrial and corporate interest in sousveillance has led to a recent satire of the sousveillance industry. Thus it appears there may be two different "sousveillance factions", one using it as a detournement (in the Situationist tradition) to subvert the Panoptic gaze, while the other using it in a more commercial everyday sense. Of course the two "factions" are not necessarily irreconcileable, in the sense that high-art culture and "low-art" culture are often held to be indistinguishable in the postmodern world. In other words, the co-opting of the subversive nature of sousveillance by industry may well be just another example of art-in-action. Conversely many artists are using the commercialization of sousveillance itself as a social commentary, thus creating a detournement of a detournement of the detournement of surveillance.
Social software
Social software such as Facebook and MySpace aid surveillance by encouraging people to publish their interests and their friendship networks. They also aid sousveillance by making this information available to peer networks as well as to the authorities.
As a form of inverse surveillance
Since the year 2001, December 24 has been World Sousveillance Day with groups of participants in New York, Toronto, Boston, Florida, Vancouver, Japan, Spain, and the United Kingdom. However, this designated day focuses only on hierarchical sousveillance, whereas there are a number of groups around the world working on combining the two forms of sousveillance. One such group is the group organized by Dr. Stefanos Pantagis, a New York physician, who leads a group of approximately 25 poets, artists, and other hospital workers on experiments in glogging. Among the New York 'gloggers are some blind poets making a cyborglog called "shootingblind". There is a certain irony in the blind exploring the all seeing eye of the Panopticon. This has given rise to some interesting debates within the poetry communities in New York, and around the world.
Sousveillance of a state by its citizens has been credited with addressing many problems such as election fraud or electoral misdeeds, as well as providing good governance. For example, mobile phones were used in Sierra Leone and Ghana in 2007 for checking malpractices and intimidation during elections.[8]
A recent area of research further developed at IWIS was the equilibrium between surveillance and sousveillance. Current "equiveillance theory" holds that sousveillance, to some extent, often reduces or eliminates the need for surveillance. In this sense it is possible to replace the Panoptic God's eye view of surveillance with a more community-building ubiquitous personal experience capture. Crimes, for example, might then be solved by way of collaboration among the citizenry rather than through the watching over the citizenry from above. But it is not so black-and-white as this dichotomy. Rather, there is a simple shift in the equiveillant point, as, for example, more camera phones enter widespread use, we might be able, as a society, to be more self-reliant, on our own communities to keep an electronic neighbourhood watch. This variation of sousveillance ("personal sousveillance") has been referred to as "coveillance" by Mann, Nolan and Wellman.
Copwatch is a network of US and Canadian volunteer organizations that "police the police." Copwatch groups usually engage in monitoring of the police, videotaping police activity, and educating the public about police misconduct. Fitwatch is a group who photograph Forward Intelligence Teams (police photographers) in the UK. [9]
In 2008, Cambridge, UK researchers (in the MESSAGE project) have teamed with bicycle couriers to measure and transmit air pollution indicators as they travel the city.[10]

Bieber Responds To Haters Through Song
Justin Bieber news alert: He has a new song! Are you surprised? Did you think it was going to be that he peed on something else? Egged something else? Got arrested again? Nope, this time Bieber is just doing his job and releasing music. Justin Bieber's newest song is called "Broken" and it's exactly what you expect. The world is trying to put Bieber down, but he cannot be broken! He's following in the grand tradition of Lindsay Lohan's "Rumors" here and it's a little worrisome.
The song starts with Bieber saying, "I guess they want a reaction/ And I ain't gonna give it to 'em," which is ironic because this song is literally a three-minute long reaction to the haters (the media and random people on Twitter, I'm assuming). Bieber goes on to sing, "They been persistent tryna break me down/ I cannot be broken." I can't disagree with Bieber one hundred percent, I mean, people have suggested his residence be chosen through an Olympic hockey game, but more than anything he's been doing things to break himself down. He has purposely done a number of things — egged his neighbor's house, drag raced under the influence, allegedly assaulted someone — that get people in trouble. Why, Bieber? Why? Why try to break yourself and then blame a vague group of people through song?
Bieber also says, "They can't take what's mine," by which I really hope he means his right to live in America. Bieber is joined on the song by rapper Blake Kelly whose lyrics echo what Bieber sings and include the line, "How you expect me not to go crazy?" I don't know, maybe because not everyone goes crazy and being famous isn't an excuse. Kelly could just be talking about himself and not Bieber, so I'll stop making assumptions.
As far as the actually music here, it kind of sounds like a Tupac beat (there's a 90s hip hop feel) but altered to the point that it grates against your ears. Bieber's singing sounds exactly like his singing always does.
With that surely encouraging you to listen, here's "Broken" so you can count Bieber's ironic statements for yourself.

Fishing conditions: Jeff deBrown Owner/Guide www.thereelbaja.com 1-888-287-4076 Hi everyone, I hope the start to the new year is going well for all of you. As I write this report the air is cool outside with heavy overcast skies and falling rain. This is normal for us as we typically see a couple rainy days this time of year. Overall the weather this past week was as expected. We saw mostly sunny skies with medium to heavy winds out of the North on most days here in the East. Out of Cabo, the weather was quite cool in the mornings with overcast skies giving way to sunshine around nine or ten am on most days. The winds were not a factor out of Cabo this last week but we did see some big swells on the Pacific side making fishing close to the beach difficult. With the winds in the East Cape there was not many boats out fishing. What little traffic did go out found a few Sierra and small to medium dorado close to shore. Most of the boats were back in early as the wind was up by ten in the morning. Out of Cabo San Lucas we found some decent fly fishing for rooster fish. We also found scattered Sierra and a few small jacks. Overall the fishing was a little slower than typical. This should start to turn around in the next few days as we did see more bait as the week progressed. Over in Magdalena Bay, this is the time to see the whales. They are showing and will be providing some of the best whale watching on the planet for the next few weeks. This time of year its also a great time to fish the Mangroves in Magdalena Bay. For January we start to see large snook move in. We have been seeing them in good numbers so far. We have also had good action for snapper and grouper. If you are in the area be sure to take in the whales but don't forget about the mangroves. Typically the months of February and March are very good for fly fishing out of Cabo on the Pacific side. We tend to see the fly fishing for roosters and big jacks pick up as well as a massive Sierra invasion. We still have some openings and are currently offering a special for this time frame. Give us a call for details. I hope everyone gets a chance to get out and go fishing soon. Until next time tight lines.
Inshore temperature: 77 Degrees F
Offshore temperature: 74 Degrees F
Type of bait fish are feeding on: Sardina, Mullet, Ballyhoo,flying fish,
Fish species: Roosterfish, tunas, marlin, jacks, sailfish, dorado, wahoo
Fishing season: Year Round
Nearest airport: San Jose del Cabo (SJD)
Recommended fly fishing tippet: 20 Lb. Tippet
Best fly fishing rod: 9' 10 Weight Fly Rod
Best floating fly line: Saltwater All-Rounder WF Fly Line
Best sinking fly line: Coldwater Intermediate
East cape - windy windy windy. It was windy all week and strong enough to keep anglers off the water for most of the week. The wind is forecast to ramp up again and everyone is curious to see if the wind pushed the roosters that were here out or not. Just waiting on a fishable window to find out and will update soon. Cabo - the fishing inshore and along the beach has been pretty good. I had a guest get ...
a nice rooster off the beach in San Jose where I told him to go and he hooked up. On the pacific side they are finding roosters, jacks, and a few Sierra along the beach and inshore. Off shore the dorado bite is decent. When you hook a single fish keep it in the water and be patient…. Most if not most of the time there will be others that will show up. The marlin bite is fair and will get better as fish from the north continue to migrate down south. Mag Bay - the marlin are showing a little better than a week ago, but the prime fishing is still running late and not quite in full swing yet. The fish found were about 40 miles off shore. Closer to shore the dorado are the bite of the week. The area has a lot of buoys right now and the dorado are hanging around them so focus on the structure. Mangroves - fished great as usual with the usual catches of snapper small jacks etc. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and we look forward to fishing with you soon.
Inshore - This time of year we see a lot of action early in the mornings as well as the low light hours in the evenings. People tend to over look these time periods. If you want some great action get up and on the water early or fish a little later in the day as those "magic" hours can be great. Offshore - have a few different rods ready from 8wt. to 12/14wt as you never know what you might encounter as far as species and size of fish. It never fails you will be running to a destination and you run into feeding fish on your way. You need to be ready for anything before you leave the dock.
We will continue to have good fishing on the Pacific side with decent early morning action in the East Cape depending on the wind.

When England kick off their opening Rugby World Cup fixture against Tonga on Sunday, two of their fans will be celebrating the completion of a 10,000 mils, six-month odyssey which has already raised a huge amount of money for charity.
The duo from Bishop's Stortford, dubbed 'The Hairy Handlebars', began cycling from London to Tokyo in March and will arrive in the Japanese capital in time to watch the start of the Red Rose's 2019 challenge for the Webb Ellis Cup.
Their Eurasian trek has taken in 19 countries fuelled by around 12km of noodles, the acquisition of which has often required spontaneous games of charades due to language barriers.
The arduous journey has been taken on to raise money for the men's health charity Movember, as well as the Ian Williams Foundation, which was created in memory of the aspiring rugby union prop who passed away aged just 27 in February 2018 while training for the Doncaster Knights.
The bikers, Ben Cook and George Cullen, spoke to The Sportsman upon their arrival in Japan, insisting that there were never any moments of regret despite collecting more than 50 punctures between them.
"There was never a moment of 'Why have I done this?' Mostly it was moments of thinking 'I'm so glad we've done this,'" explains Ben, who was a close friend of Ian Williams. "There are odd times when you've had five punctures in a row and it's pouring down with rain and you do kind of question yourself. Even then, though, you're thinking 'there's no place I'd rather be', and an hour later you're back up and running.
"There are even moments when you just stop yourself along the trip and think 'Wow, why doesn't everyone do some sort of adventure?'"
The monumental trip, which Ben and George began arranging around a year before they set out, has so far raised close to £30,000. In the early stages the idea was just to go on "some big old ride", and as the plan came together they set out on a 'warm-up trip' from London to Paris last October in preparation for their ultimate challenge.
The trip went according to plan - mostly - but George has been left cursing the omission of one vital piece of kit beyond an unlimited supply of sunscreen… a Kindle!
"I stupidly brought physical books, which proved to be the biggest pain in the world," he tells us. "A Kindle would have slipped into a bum bag perfectly!" Thankfully, podcasts previewing the World Cup, the Mecca of their pilgrimage, proved to be a godsend during the long stretches on desert roads which proved particularly testing.
Some of the most difficult moments included heading in and out of Istanbul on horizon-stretching highways with no hard shoulders and journeying down 'the most dangerous tunnel in the world', the Anzob.
At the top of a mountain path in North West Tajikistan, this traveller's nemesis stretches an unventilated, deathly dark 5,000 metres. Its nicknames include the 'Tunnel of Fear' and 'Tunnel of Death' - take your pick!
"There's two options: you can go around it and add another day to your journey, or you go into the abyss," says Ben.
"It was brutal, we came out of it, our eyes were black, we were choking, it was like you had smoked about 1000 cigarettes, but there was still that huge adrenaline high."
Before the trip, Ben and George had pinpointed Kazakhstan and Georgia as the places they were most looking forward to pedalling through.
"The best thing, despite planning the trip, was not knowing too much about the countries," continues Ben. "Beforehand we would have been 'What the hell is Tajikistan?!' and then we're getting there and seeing it's filled with the most incredible people."
There are several routes to cross the Pamir Mountains, the range that cuts through Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, which the pair had to venture. including the famous 'M41', and the Bartang Valley.
"The Bartang's the most direct route but more desolate," adds Ben. "On it we cycled up close to 4,400 metres. Up there we saw some of the most remote villages with the most welcoming people. And, of course, the scenery was mind-blowing."
The important thing about such an arduous journey was actually not thinking too far ahead; lunch for the day and a bed for the night were the priorities. Thinking about the next country while on the road was far less important than taking it day-by-day. Their advice for anyone aspiring to do something similar is to "tell everyone about it, burn all bridges so you can't turn back, and as soon as you've got that bike you're ready to go."
Ben and George are now planning to spend the next month in the Land of the Rising Sun, spending a little time apart before reuniting in Oita to attend the quarter-finals of the World Cup. And George is buoyant about the odds of their side going all the way: "I think England have got a good chance. It's one of the most open World Cup tournaments that's there's ever been. It's pretty tough to call it, but we've got good players and we've got a good chance."
And for those wondering what's happening to the bicycles? "Yeah, they're in the sea."
Well done boys!

New York City-based Korean artist Miyeon Lee's oil paintings feel like minimalist explorations of color — vibrant and enticing yet free of pretense and excess ornamentation. Similarly, the pieces in her jewelry line, Little M, manage to make powerful statements using the simplest of materials like: silk and grosgrain ribbons, knit braid trim, rayon twist cord, metallic scroll trim, shoelace-like strips, and more. By intertwining these materials and juxtaposing various colors and textures, Lee created the illusion of movement, of strands writhing and undulating against the skin.
Though many of her pieces, such as the untitled piece pictured at top, feature Carnival-ready hues, there's also a disarming innocence to them (check out the Rainbow Trail bracelet pictured second from top). In a way, they recall a simpler time when we were wide-eyed little girls who swapped handmade friendship bracelets and wove ribbons into our hair. Featuring an assortment of ribbon and fabric trims and 14k gold filled chains and plated parts, the Little M pieces are currently available at Artware Editions.
The necklace pictured at top feels like a jewelry piñata — just as festive and full of surprises. It effortlessly fuses together zig-zagging, Rasta-colored trim with nautical-favored, blue-and-white cord, as well as vibrant fuchsia and electric blue cord, shoelace-like white ribbon, bits of gold fringe tassel, and more.

Mike Conley's return keys Grizzlies' Game 2 win over Warriors
Warriors guard Stephen Curry may be the NBA's MVP, but Memphis' Mike Conley Jr. was the most important player in his team's 97-90 win over Golden State on Tuesday that tied the Western Conference semifinal series, 1-1.
Despite being listed as questionable heading into the game due to facial fractures, Conley returned to the floor and scored 22 points in Game 2, including a clutch 3-pointer in the fourth quarter that kept the momentum on Memphis' side.
Conley in the clutch. https://t.co/lIpMDM45QY
— Steven J. Gaither (@stevenjgaither) May 6, 2015
Conley broke several bones in his face during Game 3 of Memphis' first-round series against Portland. He missed that series' last two games and Sunday's opener against Golden State. That didn't stop him Tuesday, however, as Conley came out on fire, hitting his first four shots for nine first-quarter points. For the game, he shot 8 for 12 and turned the ball over just once.
"It was huge to see the ball go in," Conley told TNT after the game. "The first couple of shots I was a little bit nervous trying to get back in the motion of things, but I'm just happy the way the team performed."
Conley's comeback underwent a brief setback in the second quarter when he was hit in the eye by Warriors forward Draymond Green, and he went down again in the fourth with leg cramps. Still, his spirited effort for the underdog Grizzlies may have been the spark Memphis needed to steal a game on the road before heading home.

How to buy shoes without odorous feet, many friends who wear High Heel Shoes For Men will have a feeling that the shoes are more stinky than flat shoes. This is normal, because the heightening shoe has one more component than the flat shoes – the heightening pad. The booster pad is a synthetic material that is placed in the shoe. Compared with the natural material that automatically breathes and breathes the foot, the breathability of the synthetic material is relatively poor, and the environment inside the shoe is usually damp than the external environment. Therefore, in the inner cushion of the shoe, the shoe is slightly inferior to that of the flat shoe. So, aren't all the shoes of Breathable Men Invisible Increased Casual Shoes 6.5 cm stinky feet, how to buy shoes without odor? Today, we introduces you not stinky shoes, and tells you how the shoes are not produced by the stinky feet.
First of all, we need to know how the foot odor comes from? In general, foot odor is caused by excessive sweating. The sweat contains water, salt, lactic acid and urea. After sweating, the humidity, pH and oxygen-deficient environment in the High Heel Shoes For Men will provide a suitable growth condition for the bacteria. In addition, the metabolically exfoliated skin will also bring enough nutrients to the bacteria, allowing the bacteria to multiply, resulting in foot odor.
It can be seen that it is the key to thoroughly treat the foot odor, reduce the sweat on the feet, and discharge the sweat in the shoes in time. The shoes are not breathable, which is the culprit leading to sweating of the feet and sweating of the feet. In general, the quality of the shoes is not good, and wearing the same pair of Height Increasing Shoes for many years will result in the shoes being airtight. Inferior shoes cause the shoes to be damp, not dry, and airtight because of the poor moisture absorption of the shoes, which breeds bacteria for a long time. Wearing the same pair of shoes all the year round will make the ventilation of the shoes poor, the hygroscopicity will be worse, and the odor will accumulate more and more.
Secondly, how does Height Increasing Shoes improve the breathability of shoes, thus providing consumers with shoes that do not stink? The fabrics and inner linings of shoes are made of breathable leather materials. Commonly used fabrics include crocodile skin, ostrich skin, fine calfskin, suede cowhide, etc. Commonly used are cowhide, boar skin and so on. Of course, for the key component-increasing mat, It is not sloppy adopts the self-developed PU polyether with better moisture absorption performance, and its air permeability is much higher than that of the rubber material and foam material on the market. Enhanced.
After that, I will give a little advice to the little friends with foot odor. It is very necessary to wash the feet and change socks. If the foot odor is serious, you can try the following simple foot odor treatment methods:
Salt ginger water wash feet to treat foot odor, put a proper amount of salt and a few pieces of ginger in hot water, heat for a few minutes, wash your feet when not hot, and wash for a few minutes, not only cure foot odor, but also feel relaxed, can eliminate fatigue. Before going to bed, add a pot of hot water and a piece of ginger in a pot of hot water, soak your feet for 5 to 10 minutes, wash several times in a row, foot odor, sweat can be relieved, and the skin cracks on the soles of the feet can also prevent and treat.
Radish sputum water to cure foot odor, use white radish half, cut into thin slices, put in the pot, then add appropriate amount of water, simmer for 3 minutes and then simmer for 5 minutes, then pour into the basin, after moderate temperature Wash your feet repeatedly and wash your feet for a few times.
Tea with salt and foot to treat foot odor, add 25 grams of tea and a small amount of salt in the foot washing water, soak your feet in the water, and wash for 5 to 10 minutes, you can eliminate the foot odor. Wearing deodorant socks to treat foot odor, the cause of foot odor is sometimes due to wearing poor quality socks, you can try to buy a higher quality of the foot odor health socks to increase the air permeability, perhaps the problem of foot odor is quite help.

DHAKA (AFP) - Bangladesh's highest court on Wednesday upheld the death sentence handed down to a top opposition politician for war crimes during the country's 1971 independence conflict against Pakistan.
The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice S.K. Sinha, dismissed Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury's appeal against a death sentence handed down by a controversial war crimes tribunal two years ago, an AFP correspondent at the court said.
In a brief judgement, Sinha said the court "maintained" the death sentence for genocide and torture against 66-year-old Chowdhury, who is a senior member of the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).

Old-crop barley finds few takers
By FWi staff
LIMITED trading and quiet European markets has led to poor domestic demand for UK old-crop barley.
Huge EU stocks continue to put prices under pressure, and any fresh export interest is likely to be supplied from the remaining intervention stocks in France or Germany, said Cargills Ian Wallis.
With the deadline for offers drawing near, traders believe intervention to be the best market for barley left on-farm.
This view is supported by Mr Wallis, who believes that the majority of barley left on UK farms to be of intervention quality.
He also says that intervention continues to provide the best market for old-crop barley.
Currency fluctuations have seen delivered intervention prices range between £83-£85/t, while deliveries made today (Tuesday) are up over 50p on last week at £84.04/t.
This compares with an ex-farm price of about £74.24/t.

A geological curiosity
The commune of Lussan, located on a limestone peak, is one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France (Most Beautiful Villages in France). Just a few kilometres north, on the road to Verfeuil, is an exceptional site with steep hills and an otherworldly feeling: the Concluses de Lussan.
The Concluses is a unique natural site. The waters of the Aiguillon, a small tributary of the Cèze, have eroded the limestone rock to create a series of deep gorges spread over six kilometres. High cliffs frame the water holes, glacial potholes, gates and belvederes that you'll find one after another. The Aiguillon evolves according to the season. While dry in summer, the river becomes untamed with heavy autumnal precipitation. Be sure you know about the state of the river before venturing into these gorges.
The Pierre Plantée which overlooks the site, is a menhir nearly six metres high, evidence of a human presence in prehistoric times.

Discuss the changes in German Nationalist thought after 1848 and describe their attitude towards Bismarck up to the creation of the German Empire in 1871.
Extracts from this document...
Z�e Terry Discuss the changes in German Nationalist thought after 1848 and describe their attitude towards Bismarck up to the creation of the German Empire in 1871. In 1871, for the first time, the idea of a united Germany without Austria, which was put forward in 1848, had been achieved. The Germans now had a nation state under their leader William I, the Prussian king, and now the German Emperor with Bismarck as his imperial chancellor. The new state also had 'an apparently liberal constitution with the establishment of a Reichstag elected by universal manhood suffrage.' Few liberals in 1948 would have believed that the nationalist aim of a unified Germany would have been carried forward by Prussia, who had always been known as a reactionary state. Nationalism had not been achieved by liberal nationalist persuasion but by the diplomacy of Bismarck, the Zollverein, and three short wars. During the late 1840's and early 1850's, Germany suffered a series of defeats that caused nationalist ideas to deflate. But after 1859, when the wars of Italian Unification were taking place, the German nationalist spirit was revived. The Nationalverein, (National Society), a liberal minded, middle class society was set up in 1859 with the aim of promoting the idea of a Kleindeutsch, in the hope that Prussia lead the cause and in turn become more liberal minded. ...read more.
But due to a lack of distrust, the liberals refused to accept this as true, and continued to view Bismarck as an anti-liberal reactionary, with no hope of uniting Germany. This view was increased in 1864 when the Schleswig-Holstein question came into play. The Danes wanted to incorporate Schleswig-Holstein into their Danish Empire, which was gravely opposed by German Nationalists who turned to the German Confederation to stop this taking place. Bismarck however stepped in, ignoring both the Confederation and the nationalists, and joined with Austria to fight for Schleswig to be annexed to Prussia and for Austria to gain Holstein. The nationalists were angered by this as they felt that Prussia had acted in her own self interest as opposed to unification. But this can be argued that Bismarck was in fact acting on the Kleindeutsch's interest by removing Austrian influence in Northern Germany when Prussia later pushed on to try and gain Holstein from Austria, which led to war. In an attempt to gain support, Bismarck once again called upon the nationalists for support, which again fell on deaf ears. Bismarck managed to win the war against Austria which caused a sudden turn about in the nationalist attitude towards him. ...read more.
Prussia did not get to put their candidate on the throne due to interference from France, and it didn't cause the war that Bismarck had hoped for until France started making demands on the Prussian King, which he refused. This gave Bismarck the chance he needed to provoke Prussia. Bismarck managed to provoke France to declare war through exploitation of a meeting between the King of Prussia and the French Ambassador. This drove German nationalists into an anti-French frenzy and encouraged the romantic ideals of 1848 to reappear. Germany won the war which again, encouraged by Bismarck, sent the country into a patriotic fervour which was also encouraged by nationalist media. Unification seemed certain. Bismarck later negotiated with the Southern states who reluctantly agreed to let Prussia dominate Germany, but still give recognition to the Southern monarchies. Bismarck has no choice but to take nationalism into account when dealing with the unification of Germany and hence the German Empire was in consistency with the ideas of nationalists even though the constitution wasn't a liberal as some of the nationalists would have liked. "A German Empire emerged in 1871 and not simply a Greater Prussia; it was a sense of Germanness that gave it its identity. Nationalism gave Bismarck's ambitions for Prussia a sense of moral legitimacy." ...read more.

YOR Nutrition Delivery System® - The Next Level in Nutrition
- Part 3
What if we told you we had a solution to maximize nutritional intake, and we could help your body get more nutrients from the food you eat, and support healthy elimination as well? And on top of that, we have a clinically proven way to do so?
It's called YOR Nutrition Delivery System® (YOR Nutrition Delivery System) and it represents the culmination of nearly three years of research and development and will undoubtedly take the world of nutrition to a whole new level. YOR Nutrition Delivery System® represents the future of nutrition, and is best explained through several key features or concepts: Innovation, Clinically Proven, Patent-Protected, Perfect Balance between Science and Nature.
YOR Nutrition Delivery System® is a breakthrough innovation in nutrition. Just what is innovation? In the economy, innovation is the catalyst to growth. It represents forward thinking and creates new standards and solutions to solve existing problems. We have a global problem with nutrition. After significant research, testing, and development we created the proprietary enzyme blend comprising YOR Nutrition Delivery System® and found a way to improve nutrient absorption in order to maximize the benefits of nutritional intake. This innovation is exclusive to YOR Health and is characterized by its patented technology and clinically proven results.
Clinically Proven
No one's enzyme-building capacity is challenged more than the elderly as a result of time, energy, and age-related decline. Therefore, a group of institutionalized seniors were selected to examine what effect the enzyme blend in YOR Nutrition Delivery System® would have on their nutritional status, and overall health.
Scientists from Obirin University in partnership with the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology performed the clinical study of the enzyme blend contained in YOR Nutrition Delivery System®.
There were 24 participants in the study composed of men and women over the age of 65 living in a nursing home. Health status was considered equal in regards to body mass index, diet, and self-sufficiency between the enzyme test group and the control group. The trial lasted 25 weeks in which the 13 participants from the test group consumed the enzyme blend in YOR Nutrition Delivery System® three times a day with meals. The 11 members in the control group received a placebo. Key blood biomarkers were measured and compared utilizing a test method known as the paired t-test. Blood measurements were taken and compared at baseline (the beginning of the study) and after six months during the follow-up survey.
Three key biomarkers in the YOR Nutrition Delivery System® enzyme group showed significant changes in the follow-up survey, whereas in the control group no significant changes were found. In the conclusion the study states: "the results of this study imply that the digestive enzyme complex is practical for improving nutritional status…"
Nutritional status is crucial to good health, because it maintains the balance between the intake of nutrients and the expenditure of nutrients in the processes of growth, metabolism, and health maintenance. What's more, it was demonstrated in the conclusion of the study that by improving nutritional status, positive influences were also exhibited on the participants' energy, overall fitness, and general wellbeing, thereby supporting an improved quality of life.

Let me begin with a recent blog post from one of my Advanced Editing students:
I really feel like there should be some major changes to the curriculum to suit present day journalism's needs. The technology is not going to go away, and the newsroom is never going to stop wanting bigger and better ways to show their news, so why not make it a permanent addition to our curriculum?
Alas, this is a sentiment I have heard here at UF with more and more frequency since I began five years ago. But what forward-leaning thing could I do in my basic and advanced editing classes to nudge us into the 21st century, especially given the fact that my own digital skills set was minimal at best? I left newspapers about eight years ago to earn my doctorate and then begin teaching. In digital terms, eight years is a lifetime. The last newspaper I worked at had only created a Web site to protect its classifieds. And before that, during five years at the Seattle Times, the level of my digital skills had not advanced past shovelware.
Video and audio editing? Slideshows and Flash technology? With the steep learning curves for those things, forget it. Faculty development and the time to learn such technologies did not exist given my teaching load and scholarly research responsibilities. And to teach them without learning them well, I would feel like a fraud. But there was one thing I began to discover that was seeping into journalism as a tool of communication and a method of connecting with readers – the fuzzy notion of the "social media." This was a digital tool that was essentially consubstantial with the kinds of things I was familiar with from my print newspaper career – such efforts as contact shirttails at the end of stories, coffee klatches with readers, regional correspondents, guest opinion columns, and various permutations of civic journalism. Only now in the shift from the atoms of paper and ink to the pixels of digital media, they have been made exponentially scalable and have created the concept "networked journalism" that the British journalist and media scholar Charlie Beckett promotes.
The learning curve on most of these social media tools is not steep. They are easily learned. The difficulty lies in how they can be applied to doing good journalism that both connects with readers and expands the possibilities of stories by creating a new notion of objectivity grounded in a diversity of sources. Certainly, neither of my editing classes is the place to determine the future of journalism. But I do believe that (1) it is the place to acquaint students with the notion of social media as a tool of journalism and that (2) the future will be determined by students who are now in journalism classes across the country or elsewhere.
But they do need some introduction to these tools. From experience with my students, I have never accepted the myth that they are all "digital natives" who know more than I about the digital world and its tools. For example, three years ago I asked a lab of 20 students how many knew what Twitter was. One student raised his hand. That number has gone up over time, but not much – and many other tools and techniques commonly used by journalists these days are largely unknown to my students. Those include such things as Google Alerts, Delicious bookmarks, search engine optimization, off-site storage sites such as Dropbox.com, non-Facebook social networking sites such as Ning, LinkedIn, readers and RSS feeds, Google Documents, and text-analysis tools such as Wordle.
Thus, what tools should I use in class to introduce my students to social media? And a second question – how can I also use them as pedagogical tools to enhance the learning experience of my students? Below are some examples of what I have used and how. But one caveat. I have my syllabi laced with relevant links loaded to a Web site; I have an editing blog I use much as a textbook; students often must create and post to their own blogs; and I use Twitter. I have noticed a strain of pushback from those of my students who have come to expect a lock-step structured environment – especially in an editing course. I have heard the complaint more than once that my classes are too decentralized. My argument in rejoinder is that is the way of the world in the realm of digital media where they plan to one day work.
I have been using Twitter (http://twitter.com/ronrodgers/uf-editing) in both my basic and advanced editing classes for the past three years as a means of communicating with my students about the class, about journalism, and about possible jobs or internships and as a way of introducing students to Twitter and the possibilities of microblogging. But at its most fundamental, I am using Twitter to teach the problems of editing common to most students. For example, when editing students' work and I spot a common problem among many of them, I tweet a note – often with a link to further information. Then, at the next class we may have a Twitter quiz on my posts and then a short lecture based on those tweets. I have also taken to writing my tweets in rhymed verse. For example:
- I AM SO VERY, VERY SORRY / BUT WE DON'T CAP CALAMARI = http://bit.ly/auhWU3
- PLEASE CLOSELY LISTEN / THERE'S DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A JAIL AND A PRISON http://bit.ly/ar0mQ6
- HERE'S THE SITUATION / READ PARTICIPLES & PUNCTUATION = http://bit.ly/cOASjQ
- I LIKE YOU BETTER THAN HIM / I LIKE YOU BETTER THAN HE --- IF YOU ARE CONFUSED, SEE = http://bit.ly/cdV3T7

- nonnative = AP DOES NOT LIKE THE DOUBLE LETTER / ITS RULE SAYS HYPHEN MAKES IT BETTER (LOOK UP NON)

My Blog: To begin, I have my own constantly updated blog at http://editingmonks.blogspot.com/ that I use in my classes as a kind of living textbook. Explicitly this is a tool for teaching, but the implicit message is that a blog can be used as a tool of communication. My blog includes posts as answers to editing questions; links to editing practice sites; widgets – one that displays my most recent Twitter posts and another that displays my shared Google Reader items; editing worksheets and links to lectures; links to readings and sites about covering such things as cops and courts and several kinds of beats; links to online editing readings and sites; links to readings and sites about social media; and links to career readings.
Student Blog: In addition, in my Advanced Editing class I have my students create their own blog and post to it on a regular basis. My expectation is that they include links and, on occasion, photos or graphics, to give them practice in other than simple text. I find that it is best to have some kind of brief rubric about what I am looking for – and since this is an editing class I stress the importance of flawless posts. The following is an example of a rubric I have used:
You will post to your blog at least once a week for the rest of the semester. The objective? To introduce you to blogging as a form of journalism – or more specifically as a form of networked journalism.
I will grade this by considering:
- Your regularity of posting.
- The quality of your content and writing.
- The quality of your links – and yes, you need to provide links.
- Whether your posts are flawlessly edit – and yes, this is important even in the sometimes wild West of blogging.
- Whether your posts are simply pontificating on your part, which is not good, or your posts reflect your deep and critical thinking about the news surrounding your topic, which is good. Think of these like op-ed pieces across from the editorial page.
- And finally, whether you avoid issues of unattributed plagiarism.
Here are two items on blogging rubric that I have found helpful:
- Blog Reflection Rubric http://edweb.sdsu.edu/courses/edtec296/assignments/blog_rubric.html
- Assessing student blog posts and developing good blog writing style! http://newjournalismreview.com/2008/04/08/assessing-student-blog-posts-and-developing-good-blog-writing-style/
* * *
I have found that incorporating social media tools into my classes has helped in teaching the skills of editing, which is essentially a skill that can only be learned through increments and repetition. Tools such as blogs and Twitter create new ways of presenting and even repeating information students have heard from me and from their readings. I have also heard from many students that they appreciate this introduction to various social media tools, which, despite the myth that they are "digital natives," they knew little or nothing about.
And a familiarity with these tools has helped my students find work after graduation. I like to point to the example of one of my Advanced Editing students who had applied for a management-training job with Geico. She had a 30-minute interview scheduled with several Geico execs that turned into more than an hour interview once she began talking about all the social media tools she had been working with in our class. It seems these execs knew nothing about these tools themselves, and were so captivated by her explanations that they kept here over – and then hired her.
