See the rest here:
This is a great idea. Dan Meyer and Justin Reich are sponsoring the MTT2K Prize. In short, this idea was inspired by John Golden and David Coffeeys Mystery Teacher Theater 2000 in which they make a video of them watching one of the Khan Academy videos. Dan and Justins plan is to award a cash prizes to the best video critiques of Khan Academy videos. Its that simple. To participate, just create a video critique and upload to youtube with the tag #mtt2k.
First, I think there is much room for improvement in Khans videos. As I have pointed out before, most of the Khan videos seem to take the approach of this is how you get the answer to this problem rather than to aim for deeper understanding. I suspect this is part of the reason that the Khan videos are so popular with students. They are stuck on a homework problem and in their mind the goal is to get the answer. Surely you have seen students take all sorts of crazy approaches to solving homework problems. Approaches that avoid addressing the real meaning.
This solution to problem solving would be like Mr. Miyagi (you know, for The Karate Kid) telling Daniel to paint the fence with up and down strokes. What if Daniel googled how to paint a fence and decided to rent a spray paint machine. That way the fence could be painted quicker right? Wrong. Mr. Miyagi would be disappointed and Daniel would get destroyed at the karate tournament by Cobra Kai. The point isnt the painting of the fence, the point is learning to block attacks. If you have no idea what I am talking about, go watch the original Karate Kid.
There is another good reason to critique videos (not just the Khan Academy videos). What better way to assess someones true understanding than to have that person evaluate a Khan Academy video? You really have to know your stuff to see any problems in these. I could make the final exam in physics an evaluation of these videos. It would be awesome. Or maybe you could make this a group activity. Find a KA video and critique it. Next, make your own version. That would be win-win. The true learning comes not from watching a KA video, but by being actively engaged in something. Maybe this was Khans plan all along. Maybe he puts errors in the videos so that they can be used for the real learning.
If Dan and Justin start a game, I cant sit out can I? So, here is my video critique of a Khan Video. I mostly picked one at random (from the physics videos). The MTT2K style of critique is really nice, but I didnt have a partner or an easy way to set it up. Also, the audio is suckier that it should be sorry about that. I would remake the video, but I am a blogger not an actor. I cant just re-say what I have already said. It wouldnt feel authentic.
Here is my critique. The Khan Video is a problem to determine how fast a ball would be moving if dropped off a cliff.
If I had to focus on one main problem it would be Khans lack of respect for vectors. In particular he sets a vector quantity (the velocity) equal to the scalar value of zero. Yes, this may seem like nit picking, but isnt a critique supposed to be about nit picking? It does matter though. The equal sign means the thing on the left and the thing on the right are equivalent. Can a person be equivalent to a car? No. They are different things.
The other big error Khan makes is to say that a velocity going down would be a negative vector. He wants to say something is negative, but it isnt the vector. A vector velocity in the downward direction would have a negative y-component, but you wouldnt call the whole thing negative. Really, Khan is trying to do a one dimensional kinematics problem. In this case, you dont even need to include the vector idea.
If Khans video is so terrible, why dont you make your own? Of course Frank Noschese (@fnoschese) already addressed this common question.

In a world teeming with portable hard drive choices, Seagate's GoFlex line is noteworthy for its versatility and sprightly performance. As successor to the venerable GoFlex line, the newly-minted Backup Plus line represents Seagate's next wave of drives. But not all successors are successes, and the new Backup Plus (1TB) ($139.99 direct) has some big shoes to fill. How does it fare? As it turns out, quite well. With brisk performance, a smart user interface that uniquely incorporates social networking, and its versatile USM (Universal Storage Module) adapter, the Backup Plus is a fully realized product that ultimately outshines the GoFlex line and, accordingly, is the rightful heir of the Editors' Choice for portable hard drives, previously held by the Seagate GoFlex Turbo (750GB) ($169.99 list, 4.5 stars).
Design and Features Measuring 0.5 by 3 by 4.75 inches (HWD) with the USM (a proprietary interface) adapter (and 0.5 by 3 by 4.4 inches without), the Backup Plus's compact chassis is complemented by its tasteful, low-key aesthetic. While our test unit was black, it also comes in silver, blue, and red. Constructed entirely out of plastic, its primary visual flourish is the brushed faux-metallic finish on the lid, with the Seagate logo on its lower right side. While I prefer the sturdiness of a metallic drive along the lines of, say, the Western Digital My Passport Studio (1TB) ($179.99 list, 4 stars), the Backup Plus is nonetheless a handsome drive that, at either 5.4 or 5.9 ounces (depending on whether the USM adapter is attached), can easily slip into a laptop bag without adding any noticeable heft.
The real draw is the USM adapter, which securely fastens to the rear of the drive in the same manner as the GoFlex line. As was the case with the GoFlex Turbo, the USM adapters are available for USB 3.0 (tested), FireWire, and Thunderbolt. While some may find fault with having to shell out the extra cash for additional adapters, it's nonetheless a cheaper option than purchasing a new drive altogether, not to mention the added convenience of using the same drive rather than transferring your data over another for the sake of employing a different connection method.
Once you plug the drive into a PC, you see a revamped version of Seagate's Dashboard program. The new Dashboard was clearly designed with simplicity in mind, as its clean interface presents three options: Protect, Share, and Save. The Protect category allows users perform a back-up manually or automatically, as well as create customized back-up plans. The Dashboard's true gem lies in the Save category, where files uploaded to a Facebook or Flickr account are either manually or automatically stored in a folder within the Backup Plus. Sure enough, after posting some test snapshots to my Facebook wall from my smartphone, they showed up in my Backup Plus. It's an innovative and simple method to store all your pictures or videos on a single location. The Dashboard's Share feature is somewhat less impressive, as it simply allows you to upload files from your Backup Plus directly to your Facebook account. While I typically appreciate the notion of skipping the Facebook interface to upload images, this function is not nearly as impressive as the Share feature.
The Backup Plus comes formatted for NTFS but can be reformatted for Macs. The only shortcoming in this regard is the "Protect" feature of the Dashboard, as it's not Mac-compatible. This isn't necessarily a fatal flaw since Mac users can perform the same task via Time Machine. Mac users can still utilize the rest of the Backup Plus's abundant set of features. In comparison, the Clickfree C6 Portable (1TB) ($150 street, 4 stars), is not compatible with Macs.
Performance Although the drive we received from Seagate came equipped with USB 3.0, Seagate's USM adapters come in three flavorsFireWire, Thunderbolt, and USB 3.0. Using USB 3.0 (via the USM adapter's Micro B Port), the Backup Plus outpaced every portable drive in its class. It copied our 1.22GB test folder in a blazing 15 seconds, sprinting ahead of the Clickfree C6 (17 seconds) as well as the GoFlex Turbo (750GB) (18 seconds). Although a difference of a few seconds may initially seem negligible, the distinction becomes more pronounced when multiple large files are transferred. The Backup Plus's USB 3.0 speeds resoundingly trumped the WD My Passport Studio (1TB) using FireWire (31 seconds). Although USB 2.0 predictably yielded slower speeds for the Backup Plus (40 seconds), its USB 2.0 speed nonetheless surpassed that of the WD My Passport Studio (44 seconds) and the Clickfree C6 (41 seconds).
In the PCMark05 test, the Backup Plus yielded remarkable scores of 6,463 (via USB 3.0) and 3,125 (via USB 2.0), handily edging out the GoFlex Turbo's USB 3.0 score (6,025). The Backup Plus likewise yielded excellent results in the PCMark7 test, finishing with 1,449 (via USB 3.0) and 1,244 (via USB 2.0), easily edging out the Clickfree C6 Portable's scores of 1,406 (via USB 3.0) and 1,232 (via USB 2.0). The GoFlex Turbo's PCMark7 score of 1,498 with USB 3.0 was the lone instance in which the Backup Plus was outpaced, and since it was by a scant 49 points, it amounts to little more than a light drizzle on the Backup Plus's otherwise triumphant parade.
While the Seagate Backup Plus bears the imprimatur of the GoFlex line, its numerous attributes prevent it from standing in the lengthy shadow cast by its formidable GoFlex forebears. With its better user interface, faster performance, and innovative incorporation of social networking, the Backup Plus manages to outshine its predecessors, and sets the standard for future drives in the process, earning our Editors' Choice for portable hard drives.
COMPARISON TABLE Compare the Seagate Backup Plus with several other portable hard drives side by side.

27-06-2012 23:10 Intermediate level guitar lesson showing the two handed tapping technique by Paul Gilbert on Mr. Big's "Green Tinted Sixties Mind". Complete cover @ recorded with Nicola Jayne from the UK and a drummer here in California. Please check our channel for additional lessons that demonstrate: "How to hold a guitar pick", "How to play hammer on notes", and others (plus more on the way). All of the guitar lessons are free and have no advertising on our YouTube channel. One great thing about YouTube is we upload lessons in 1080 HD with enough visual detail to show how the fingering is done through demonstration rather than trying to explain it with words that have the potential for misunderstanding. Starting with good fundamentals is important for playing any musical instrument and having to unlearn bad habits is exceptionally frustrating, especially for kids. If your child is interested in playing guitar, I have a few suggestions based on both personal experience and expert opinions: 1) Don't get him or her a guitar until 6 years of age. Prior to age 6, 99.9% of kids don't have enough finger and hand strength to make much progress. 2) Get a decent electric guitar first for children under 10 years of age, because it will be MUCH easier to play. Most people get their children an acoustic guitar, and then the child gets frustrated, can't do it, and he or she quits because a lot practice time for many months is required to become proficient on an inexpensive acoustic guitar ...

BOSTON, June 28, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ownCloud, the commercial entity behind the popular open source filesync and share project, today launched significant enhancements to its commercial offerings, allowing businesses, schools and governments to more easily integrate user-friendly file synch and share into their existing infrastructure.
The latest ownCloud 2012 Business and Enterprise editions add enhanced Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) integration, system logging and themeing. Enhanced LDAP integration now enables IT to manage user storage quotas, group memberships and more from inside their LDAP or Active Directory server. ownCloud also now adds syslog logging, enabling IT to add ownCloud seamlessly into their existing enterprise log management plan. This syslog logging simplifies pattern recognition, error and attack tracing, and provides a deeper level of compliance and auditability for ownCloud.
Themeing gives companies - and partners - the ability to change ownCloud to look and feel as if it were part of an existing corporate IT department, giving peace of mind to users and reminding them which system they are using.
Also available today is Beta 1.1 of the mobile app for Android, that enables users a greater degree of control and simplicity accessing their ownCloud server. The app now auto senses SSL connections, manages credentials for multiple ownCloud accounts, allows automatic photo uploads from the device camera, uploads and downloads files on demand, and is all embedded in a completely new interface design.
"With more and more workers bringing their own devices to work - and then using made-for-consumer offerings to enhance their productivity - businesses need a to maintain the security of their data," said Markus Rex, CEO, ownCloud. "The updates launched today enable IT to seamlessly integrate ownCloud into their current infrastructure while giving end users a tool they will want to use."
The latest update also adds innovative features like file versioning, which actively saves files, allowing users to view a complete history and "rollback" to previous versions - and a new API -- giving developers an easy, stable and supported way to develop applications on top of ownCloud capabilities. Also new is simple drag and drop synching, taking advantage of advanced HTML 5 programming.
Based on ownCloud 4 - the community version released in May, the latest commercial update adds:
About the ownCloud Community
ownCloud began at a KDE community event in 2010, aiming to bring greater flexibility, access and security to data in the cloud. ownCloud enables universal access to files through the widely implemented WebDAV standard, providing a platform to easily view and sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks across devices while supporting sharing, viewing and editing via the web interface. Installation has minimal server requirements, doesn't need special permissions and is quick. ownCloud is extendable via a simple, powerful API for applications.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --California is positioned to offer a "Summer of Fun" for visitors owing to an unprecedented number of significant enhancements to some of the Golden State's most iconic attractions. From Disney's California Adventure and Universal Studios to SeaWorld San Diego, more than $1.2 billion have been invested in new rides and experiences. To learn more about these developments in one location, Visit California has launched a Summer of Fun destination page about these new offerings at http://www.visitcalifornia.com/Life-In-California/Summer-of-Fun/.
"It is unprecedented to have three of California's biggest attractions to unveil major developments all in one season," says Caroline Beteta, CEO and President of Visit California. "Combined, they provide yet another reason to visit the Golden State this summer, especially for families."
These include:
For a virtual thrill, visitors can take or upload a picture and apply fun filters that exaggerate their features as if they've just stepped off a California thrill ride. This "California Fun Face Photo-Booth app" can be found at http://www.visitcalifornia.com/Life-In-California/Summer-of-Fun/ and the Visit California Facebook page, Facebook.com/VisitCA, through July. The hair raising, jaw-dropping headshots can then be downloaded or easily shared with friends on Facebook and other social media platforms, showcasing the fun and excitement of California's theme parks.
"The Summer of Fun initiative showcases a selection of the best 'only-in-California' travel experiences," Beteta said. "Through logging onto the corresponding micro-site, kids and 'kids at heart' can virtually experience and share the state's thrilling attractions through the photo-booth app."
To add to a "Summer of Fun" in the Golden State, Cirque du Soleil's permanent Los Angeles extravaganza IRIS provides a different type of thrill. Located at the home of the Oscars, the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, audiences take a journey into the world of film through this inventive spectacle that combines acrobatics, dance, projections and live music. Tickets start at $43. http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/iris/default.aspx
Visitors can also skip the ticket lines and save 31 percent on admission to these attractions using the Southern California CityPASS. http://www.citypass.com/southern-california
Media can learn more about what's new this summer at California's theme parks, by watching this podcast from various attraction partners throughout the Golden State. The podcast is available to view for a limited time at http://media.visitcalifornia.com/Story-Development/Whats-New
Visit California (formerly known as the California Travel & Tourism Commission) is a non-profit organization with a mission to develop and maintain marketing programs - in partnership with the state's travel industry - that keep California top-of-mind as a premier travel destination. According to Visit California, travel and tourism expenditures total $102.3 billion annually in California (20 percent of which is international), support jobs for 893,000 Californians and generate $6.3 billion in state and local tax revenues.

It was, yes, a day of extraordinary drama in the House of Representatives.
Normal business was suspended. MPs openly wept. Nearly all speakers were heard in funereal silence. MPs congregated in strange clusters, disengaged, and reformed into others equally exotic, like free-floating cells trying to combine into a viable form. The Greens Sarah Hanson-Young sat in the distinguished visitors gallery behind the Coalition, joined at various stages by admixtures of colleague Adam Bandt, Andrew Wilkie, Mal Washer and Julie Bishop.
Warren Entsch hovered uncertainly just out of earshot of conversations. Mal Washer seemed to be unable to move without Julie Bishop either accompanying him or watching him intently. Joel Fitzgibbon at times took up a spot on the frontbench (where, of course, he feels he rightly belongs) to count off numbers with Anthony Albanese.Off-stage, equally animated talks were occurring.
Parliament had been shamed into this frantic activity by news of yet another boat sinking. The shame, however, didnt extend to actual agreement. That viable form was never achieved. The government secured a notable win in engineering Rob Oakeshotts bill through the house, with support from Andrew Wilkie once a sunset clause was added. But defeat of the bill in the Senate awaits at the hands of the Greens and the Coalition. The house and Senate will rise, MPs and senators will return home, the boats will continue to sink.
MPs can cry at the dispatch box all they like. Everyones emotional on this issuevoters, journalists, politicians. But only the latter are the ones who get the chance to do something about it, unlike the rest of us. And the Coalition and the Greens have elected not to do anything about it.
Let us carefully note the reasons why the bill will fail. Despite the government agreeing to adopt the useless measure of Nauru, which as a mere footnote will cost the best part of a billion dollars, and agreeing to consider temporary protection visas, the Coalition objects because Malaysia is not a signatory to the UN Refugee Convention. It had no such concerns when in government, when Nauru hadnt signed the UN Convention. And its concerns arent genuine now, because Indonesia, to where the Coalition would return refugees on boats that remain seaworthy, isnt a signatory either.
Its a tissue-thin justification for opposition, this Damascene conversion to human rights by the Coalition. And to see Phillip Ruddock and Kevin Andrews, men whose records as ministers included savage assaults on basic civil rights, stand up to lecture the chamber was to feel more than a little sick.
And the Greens also maintain that the Malaysia deal is inconsistent with our UN Treaty obligations, that Australias priority should be to meet its treaty obligations, increase its humanitarian intake and that we should focus on a real regional solution, the nature of which isnt exactly clear. Unlike the Coalition, the Greens arent latecomers to the idea of the importance of the UN Refugee Convention. But bear in mind the Greens membership is intensely hostile to anything other than onshore processing, meaning any decision to not oppose the bill would cause severe ructions within the party.
The elevation of our treaty obligations over any policy that might reduce the chances of people dying is legally correct, of course. Its also morally blind, elevating adherence to the terms of a decades-old document over the possibility of saving lives. It substitutes sticking to a treaty for making hard decisions about what the least worst ways are of keeping people alive. Whats worse, getting caned in Malaysia, or drowning between Indonesia and Christmas Island? Whats worse, a child who has been put on a boat unaccompanied by her parents being sent to Malaysia or a child drowning? Dont like the questions or the answers? Thats what were stuck with.
These are hard choices. Countries around the world grapple with the problem of stopping people from risking their lives fleeing to other countries either out of fear of persecution or for economic reasons. Thousands of people die every year in such circumstances. Obsessing over UN treaties or focusing on Malaysias human rights record is a fig leaf for an unwillingness to think rigorously about how to save lives.

Getting Started | Managing Posts | Tips
Getting Started
One of the most important considerations in using any social media platform is to keep your goals in mind. Ask yourself what you want to do are you looking to increase your number of fans, sales, traffic to your web site, awareness about your business, products or services? Set goals. How many fans do you want in three months, six months, a year? Keep in mind those first 100 fans might be the hardest to capture.
Once you know the answers to those questions, create your Facebook business page. We suggest a page instead of a group. Many people ask whether you should set up a Group or a Page the vast majority of the time, a page works best. You can share more easily, have more of a viral marketing effect, and your information is more public. If you have a business that is members only, or you only want limited people to see information, you can set up a group and invite people to it, and share only information with those people.
Create your page based on your organizations structure. Once you have created your page, you can give it a domain name that is easy-to-remember and market. We use Facebook.com/TelegraphDigitalMarketing for our Telegraph Digital Marketing page. If you have a simpler name, definitely use it, as it will be easier for people to remember when typing it in. For example, Dudleys Bakery is Facebook.com/DudleysBakery. You want to claim your Facebook name sooner rather than later so someone else doesnt take yours! If someone does have yours, you can add NH or some other differentiator to your name. Try to keep it simple, and take time to think about it, because Facebook only allows you to change it once.
After youve created the page, claimed your name, youre ready to get started! You want to upload your profile picture. We recommend uploading a legible logo or easily identifiable icon for your business in this space. After youve uploaded the profile photo, you want to think about what you want for a cover photo. This is essentially the sign youre putting out in front of your business. It cannot have pricing, discount information, contact information or a call to action according to Facebooks cover photo guidelines. The cover photo will work with a variety of photos at least 720 pixels wide, but if you want to make a photo / image to fit, the size should be 851 x 315 pixels. Keep in mind while designing the cover that the profile photo does go over the cover photo slightly on the lower left side.
Now that youre visually looking good, its time to add in some information about your business. In the about area, you have about 140 characters that show up on the page at all times, so use those first set of words carefully. Be sure to include other information after, and include contact information.
Managing Posts
After your page is set up and looking good (visual aspects of Facebook pages are much more important with the timeline setup), you want to go back to thinking about what your goals are and what you want to promote on Facebook. Here are some things to keep in mind and ideas on what to post.
Facebook users love contests. Look around at what other pages are doing for contests your local and national competitors, and businesses in other industries. Be sure to keep Facebooks Promotional guidelines in mind as they are picky about what they allow for contests on the pages you may choose to risk posting contests on your pages, but realize it is a risk and Facebook can pull your page. The safest way to do a contest is to use a third party vendor through an app on Facebook to stay in line with their rules. Some fun contests include promotions following themes like the 12 Days of Christmas, Makeovers, simple enter-to-win contests and more.

FunnyJunk v. The Oatmeal
Charles Carreon, the Tucson lawyer currently suing Oatmeal creator Matt Inman, the National Wildlife Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and anyone impersonating him on Twitter, is something of a poet. (And, when we spoke to him last week, we learned that he loves The Ramones.)
So when Inman cranked out his infamous drawing of a mom seducing a Kodiak bear, Carreon took his displeasure to the blank page and churned out "Don't Mess With My Mom."
In case the subtext here wasn't clear, Carreon dedicated the verses to "Matthew Inman of the Oatmeal." Here's a small hors d'oeuvrejust imagine the lines set to a pumping, palm-muted set of power chords.
Your allies are the fools Who cut and paste all day. They think they're important, But their anger is impotent. They say nasty things, But they don't get paid. Their ignorance is deep, So ya' get 'em on the cheap.
Your humor's scatological, Your mind is pathological. Did someone drop you on your head, When you were in your baby-bed? Did they take away your rattle, And teach you how to tattle?
Whatever the reason, You have committed treason Against decency and sanity, You're offensive to humanity.
Carreon and his wife, Tara, are furious about Inman's online campaign, which was designed to mock Carreon and his initial demand that Inman pay $20,000 for allegedly defaming a client. And they're even angrier about the behavior of Inman's followers and supporters, who have been peppering the Carreons with e-mails that say things like:
You are the biggest fucking asshole I have ever seen. I hope you do the world a favor and die soon.
Others have taken Carreon's pretty-easy-to-find e-mail address and signed him up for all sorts of things, including Club Nintendo, the Olive Garden newsletter, and porn sites like Tube8. The prospect of having a Tube8 user account linked to his e-mail address terrifies Carreon. As he put it in his amended legal complaint this week:
