Ever think how useful those text books were in school? Did they seem a little bland to you? DUH! they were because of parents sucking the fun out of learning!
Kansas State Collegian: Editorial: Collegian explains how Bosco mistake was made 09/12/03
In Thursday's Collegian, a mug shot on Page One identified Osama bin Laden as Pat Bosco, our dean of student life.
On Wednesday October 1. Resident Life and Activties Offices will have Midnight Breakfast in Lowe Dining Hall from 11 until 1 a.m. I believe. It is a wonderful event held twice a semester (during midterms and finals) where students can tear away from their studying and relax. Having fun with friends while eating a delicious breakfast. My Friends and I look forward to Midnight Breakfast every semester. We anticipate the event so much that we skip dinner just for breakfast and sleep late the next morning sometimes :). Well I am looking forward to seeing new faces enjoying the event as I do.
Do you follow the humor columnist, Dave Barry? He's a regular journalist, but did you know he keeps a blog? It's so popular that I assume most of you have seen it before -- especially those who were present at his guest visit to Seton Hill last year -- but I thought I'd remind folks to check it out. Required reading. How else would you learn about the latest bioterrorist attack or ways to communicate when SHU's network is down.
I think Barry also takes outside contributions to his blog, so if you come across something weird, send it along to him!
(Sidenote: I used to think he had an assistant keep his blog for him, but he actually mentioned flying to PA in his blog the week he came out to Seton Hill. Still: how much can we trust "official" blogs of celebrities?) -- Mike Arnzen
The Griffins baseball team keeps the winning streak alive as they sweep W & J this weekend.
Working with the AP Stylebook isn't fun at all, but it can give you the edge you need to get ahead.
Censorship...It doesn't exist in American society, right? Freedom of speech, freedom of press, and all that good stuff. Pretty much everything we've been working towards for the last, oh...couple hundred years or so.

How bad is it really in Iraq? The majority of the media stories have covered the attacks on American troops and the unrest among Iraqi citizens. But is that the full story?
OJR article: Google News Creator Watches Portal Quiet Critics With 'Best News' Webby
A year after its launch, the computer-generated aggregator is still taking flak for how it defines news. But Krishna Bharat has had the satisfaction of seeing growing acceptance of his news site. In a Q&A with OJR, he explains how things work behind the screens, and why he calls the site
Seton Hill is in the middle of its first-ever homecoming. What are your reactions? I stopped by with my son Peter. I was supposed to play in a softball game, but it never materialized. We still had fun watching the soccer game. Go Griffins!
How much text can you cite from another website in your blog before you've crossed the line and entered into copyright infringement? Is it okay to post an image you didn't create in a blog? Even if it's just for window dressing? Does the "educational" use of blogs in our journalism classes give our bloggers greater freedom and protection to cite text and post multimedia?
I think the answer lies in "Fair Use" law -- especially when it comes to educational blogs. It's fine to post an image of a bull on a toilet if you are discussing that image the way, say, an art student or advertising student might. It's okay to post the full text of a poem if the poem is in 'public domain' because it was published over 75 years ago. But perhaps you've crossed the line if you use them just for window dressing or because you want to share something you like.
I'm not posting this to gag or censor anyone. I just thought I'd raise the topic, because I'm curious what you all think. I'm seeing the blogs get looser and looser with other people's property. It ain't all "open source"; publishing a blog comes with the responsibility of the publisher, doesn't it? A lot of this stuff is murky anymore. Thoughts?
Some links regarding questions of "Fair Use":

Robot to help lonely old people in Japan
The robot, which speaks with the voice of either a boy or a girl, can be set to remind forgetful people when it is time to take medicine, eat and sleep. Wakamaru is the first household robot able to hold simple conversations, based on a vocabulary of around 10,000 words. It can not only speak but can understand answers and react accordingly.

I'm going to post this on my site, and on the NMJ site, so that more people read it. I found this handy little thing in lieu of my search for definitions for terms that will be on our terminology quiz next Wednesday. Take a look--and make sure you scan allllllll the way to the bottom, because that's the reason I'm postin this--not only is it a nice little handbook for journalism, but there's some mention of the quirks in the English language (which, by the way, is presicely why I love English so much :)
here's the link. It's a PDF, so I couldn't copy and paste the thing I wanted, but it's certainly worth a look as a quick reference, too! http://www.jteacher.com/PDF/gpstyleguide.pdf
I just got this e-mail from SHU president JoAnn Boyle:
"I am delighted to tell you that The Kresge Foundation has announced a $400,000 Challenge Grant to Seton Hill University in support of the Recreation Complex. Thanks to all who helped position us to receive this significant award and special gratitude to Chris Mueseler, the Institutional Advancement Team, Paul Roman, and Paul Edsall for outstanding support in developing the proposal."

You know what I hate? Bullshit phrases like "things do not change, only we do." I'd be ashamed of being quoted as saying something so utterly moronic. And yet, there isn't a day that goes by during which i don't hear something just as ridiculus. What, is it supposed to have some hidden meaning? To be comforting to the soul perhaps? Comforting my ass. How is it comforting to think that everything around you stays the same while you move steadily onward towards old age, ulcers, and alzheimers? heres a clue: IT'S NOT. retards. Not only is it stupid, it's also blatantly false. I mean nature obviously doesnt change anything around us. Erosion, drought, floods, eruptions, earthquakes leveling entire cities.....the only thing that really changes is inside us, of course. Human nature can take a flying leap. Wow i hate people.
I received the following email from a friend a few months ago. I just decided to post it because I find it highly amusing, and I thought that others interested in writing (no matter what style of writing) would be, too.

OJR article: Weblogs Are Pushing the Newsroom Envelope on Writers' Spontaneity
Newspapers represent all that is old and moldy about journalism: printed on dead trees, distributed by underpaid teens, and read by an aging audience. Weblogs represent all that is edgy and hip about journalism: written in a personal voice, encompassing divergent modes of thought, and distributed on a global platform. But is the commingling of newspapers and blogs like chocolate and peanut butter, or chocolate and pine tar? --Mark Glaser
Brandon started a discussion about football on his blog that alumnus Donna and I posted comments on, and it caused me to evaluate my Seton Hill bitterness.
I decided that one of the reasons for my jaded outlook is the "real" reason why we became a fully co-ed university.
(I closed the comments section in a blatant attempt to drive people to post on my blog. muh ha ha.)
The default Movable Type template has a space where it tells you to add new links. That space (in a side column) is the "blogroll," or a list of sites that you want to recommend to your readers. This short entry describes how to create a blogroll, and includes a bit of sample code.
When I introduced about 25 SHU students to blogs last week, and devoted a couple of hours to in-class blogging and troubleshooting, I was thrilled to see your personalities and voice coming through.
But since some students don't know what they want to write about, I did assign a few entries -- mostly posting their answers to traditional textbook exercises online.
I found that several students disliked my disruption of their personal space... see for yourself:
So... what do you think, students... how can I make "required blog" assignments more interesting to write, so that they feel more like what you want to do in your own blogging space?
What topics would YOU like everyone in your class to blog about?

("One film I never see on anyone's list is "Doctor X," an uneven 1930-something thriller in which the reporter not only climbs a drainpipe to look in a window, but crawls under a sheet to impersonate a corpse (complete with toe-tag) and eavesdrop on conversations at the morgue. Skills to remember!") - Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication
(See the AEJMC job page, which looks good. I'm not sure about the news page -- would be more helpful if it had dated entries, so I can gauge how frequently it is updated.)
I took the Writing for the Web section on using only Anglo-Saxon words a little too seriously, and now I wonder whether my words are coming from Old English, Latin, Greek, Old French, French, Middle English, etc.
Please read this and tell me if I'm missing the point.
My favorite thing is the world is to do homework the day that it is due (which was Monday) and when I arrived to class, IT WAS NOT DUE! Grrr, well check this out...
1) Identify the who, what, where, when, why, and how in the following:
The United Jewish Appeal is sponsoring its first ever walk-a-thon this morning in Springfield to raise money for The Soup Kitchen, a place where the hungry can eat free.
WHO: United Jewish Appeal
WHAT: a walk-a-thon
WHERE: in Springfield
WHY: to raise money for The Soup Kitchen
HOW:sponsoring a walk-a-thon
2) Here are four versions of the same lead. Which of the four answers more of the six questions basic to all stories? Which questions does it answer?
My answer is "A": "What began twelve years ago with a federal staff investigation and led to hearings and a court fight culminates today with a Federal Trade Commisiion rule to prevent funeral home rip-off." This version of the lead answers the questions how, when, who, what.
3) Rewrite two of the leads in exercise 2 as "you" leads. Which are better, the third-person or second-person leads? Why are they better?
I rewrote choice "C" to form the new lead: A new disclosure law going into effect today will make it easier for youto determine the cost of a funeral.
I also chose to rewrite choice "D" to form the new lead: Twelve years after first being proposed, a federal regulation goes into effect Monday to require funeral homes to provide you with an itemized list of services and materials offered, along with the cost of each item, before you choose to agree or disagree.
I feel that the second-person approach is more effective because it allows for the writer to speak directly to the reader; it allows the writer to tell the reader why he or she should care, and what kind of benefits are in it for him or her.
4) From the following facts, write a lead.
WHO: A nuclear weapon. . .
WHAT: Detonated
WHERE: 40 miles from a meeting of pacifists. . .in the Nevada desert.
WHEN: Tuesday
WHY: To test the weapon
HOW: NA
My lead: On Tuesday a nuclear weapon with a yield equivelent to 150,000 tons of TNT was detonated 2,000 feet beneath the surface of Pahute Mesa in the Nevada desert as part of a weapons test.
I just wanted to express my excitment about my new template on my site. whoo hoo, my blog now has fall festive colors. I used Julies advice to change the template using the Movabletype website. Check it out.

Yesterday evening, freshmen and athletes were required to attend a (long) meeting about drug and alcohol awareness. We had a lively class discussion in my STW course this morning.
Just a few minutes ago, the university police releasted the annual Seton Hill crime report.
Either occasion is a great opportunity a personal reflection, a brief excerpt, or a full-blown analysis. I know you have opinions... who'd like to comment?
washingtonpost.com: Student Voices
During the month of September, The Washington Post Editorial department and washingtonpost.com are soliciting opinion pieces by students to be published online at washingtonpost.com/studentvoices. Submissions should be sent to studentvoices@washpost.com.
Entries will be accepted from college undergraduates. The opinion pieces can address any subject but must be between 600 and 800 words in length. Submissions may be exclusive to The Post or previously published in a college publication. For previously published submissions, please include publishing information.
CORRECTION (washingtonpost.com)
A Sept. 21 item in the Metro in Brief column about a woman fatally shot in Prince George's County and a child who was wounded incorrectly reported the woman's age, the child's sex, the child's location at the time of the shooting, and the street on which the shooting occurred. A correct account of the incident appears in today's Metro in Brief column.
Seton Hill looking like a great contender in their first season!
For those of you who have already started personalizing your weblogs, here's a utility that will let you see online color combinations before you try encoding them.
Volcano was horrible. In fact, it was one of the worst movies ever made. Wait, maybe it was just the worst. Mindless violence and death make for damn good movies. Structured violence with a happy ending? Crap. A 50 year old man senselessly runs into the path of burning ash and a falling 40+ story building to save his idealistic daughter. (Who of course, ran into the same path attempting to save some kid she didn’t even know.) That’s not the worst part though. The stupid tramp grabbed the kid and just stood there under the falling building. Of course, the huge office building falls on them all, and of course they all (including the kid whom no one seems to know) come out completely unscathed. What’s the moral of this movie supposed to be anyway? Strong family ties overcome all bounds? Bullshit. But hey, I mean it happens all the time right? Millions of tons of molten lava, Falling office buildings…. they never hurt anyone who loves their family. Oh wait. What about all the other nameless families that were separated and killed by tons of boiling lava? Anyway, hang on…. I just remembered, the nameless kid does have a line in the movie. When everyone is covered with ash (which by now would make it near impossible to breathe), the kid wonderingly says, “they all look the same.” I suppose he was trying to give this story another moral. “In times of crisis, it doesn’t matter what color your skin is.” What an uplifting storyline...too bad it had nothing to do with the rest of the movie. Even so, the line might have been bearable if it hadn’t started to rain immediately afterward and washed all the ash off everones face. What's the moral now? Everyone’s equal till the crisis is over and then racism is ok? Who wrote this movie anyway? Stalin? . Here's an idea…. take your retarded movie script, sit in a ditch, and burn it. No one who enjoyed this movie should be allowed to have children.
Work in progress.: Storm of the Century.
Thus, in honor Isabel, who may be more of a media starlet than an actual weather event, here are some storm readiness links to peruse: --Julie Young
Julie's post is a good example of how to integrate one's own reflections with links to outside sources. Note how she doesn't just list links -- she comments on each one. The purpose of her post is to amuse and perhaps deconstruct the media hype surrounding Isabel. But the same structure would work very well if you are collecting links that you might consider using in an academic paper, or you are sorting through multiple conflicting opinions on a topic you want to explore.
OJR article: News Sites Loosen Linking Policies
We're entering an era with an almost "open source" linking policy at some major news sites, which are getting offsite-link religion. Many are now allowing bloggers and e-mail newsletters to link offsite -- and sometimes even to competitor sites. Using e-mail news digests and Weblogs, news sites are looking to widen their worldview to match the mix-and-match tastes of Web surfers... --Mark Glaser
A Storybook of Quotes: Listening
No man ever listened himself out of a job.
Calvin Coolidge (1872 - 1933)
I'm really getting sucked into reading everyone's blogs. It's a lot different than reading, say, a class discussion board on jweb, but I'm not sure I can articulate why or how. I guess having one's own "space" brings out personal touches, even if the blog is also at once a community document (as this wonderful NMJ site testifies). I think Dr. Jerz is doing a great job and I'm impressed by the journalism class' work so far!
I've got a little space to play, too; it's obviously just a testing ground so far, but you're welcome to drop by and take a peek/leave a note: http://blogs.setonhill.edu/MikeArnzen
I am also putting up an advertizement for my weblog, A Storybook of Quotes.
I'm a complete sucker for a good quote, so that is where it is basicly going. Please let me know if you find any that are enjoyable!
I am up here killing time because there is nothing to do on Seton Hill campus after 3 p.m. once the weekend begin. So I decided to write a journal entry. OKay here's some info about myself. I am a funny and interesting person. When I have my mind set on something I am very determined to do it. I movies, entertainment, and reading books. Right now my hobbies are doing Tae-bo and Winsor Pilates(they are great). My other hobbies are cooking and sewing I like designing clothes making things and doing hair. I like watching the news, going places, and relaxing. I can't stand being aroun fake people because I am very down to earth.

Hey there. I was never very good at keeping a journal and I never really like sharing my life or class life in writing. I am one that talks about what's going on in my life, but I will make an effort to do whatever I can to make this blog as interesting as possible.
Tiffany
On my personal weblog, the originally titled, Sarah's Weblog, I posted a reflection from the course EL227, The Practice of Journalism. In my reflection I posted a quote from Webblog-ED, an educational weblog that among other topics, mentions the importance of technology such as this in classrooms. I highly recommend this website. Even if you are not an education major, you can really learn a lot about blogging from this site.
Is it just me or does President Bush have way too much in common with Chevy Chase? Think about it. Chase has never made a good movie, and remarkably, neither has Bush. Bush has become wildy unpopular as of late, and coincidentaly, Chevy has always been wildy unpopular. They are both horribly inept, and yet make large sums of money regardless of their obvious lack of talent. Neither job requires an IQ above room temperature, and they even look somewhat similar. Face it people, Bush and Chase are one and the same. When he's not making preemptive strikes against third world countries, he's busy making horrible B class movies used to torture Iraqi P.O.W.'s. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. Anyone who doesn't see this connection should be hung by their fingernails and beaten repeatedly.
Another stunning American conspiracy exposed by yours truly.
Now that I've finally established my weblog account, I'm ready to jump into the exciting world of blogging! I'm still playing around with the format of this system, but in due time, my blog New Adventures in Blogging will be bursting with musings on topics I've been researching.
Hello... this is my first time doing this weblog schtuff so this could be fun. Here goes nothing

All blogs seem to begin and end the same:"Is this thing on?" is the first message and "oops...I see I haven't been posting for a long time...guess I better quit" is the jist of the last. The beginning and end of the blog is what makes it so much different than other forms of literary reading... it's not simply serialized, it's immediate. The beginning and end depend entirely upon the reader's entrance into the structure. -- Mike Arnzen
John Burns: 'There Is Corruption in Our Business'
Look, I don't believe in the journalist as hero, because I think that wherever we go, and whatever degree of resolve that may be required of us, there are always much, much braver people than us. I travel in a suit of armor. I work for The New York Times. That means that I have the renown of the paper, plus the power of the United States government. Let's be honest. Should anything untoward come to me, I have a flak jacket. I have a wallet full with dollars. I'm here by choice. I have the incentive of being on the front page of The New York Times, and being nominated for major newspaper prizes.
The people who we write about have none of these advantages. They are stuck here with no food and no money. I don't want to be pious about this, but for a journalist to present himself as a hero in this situation is completely and totally bogus.
The other day, Lindsey asked a good question... she wanted to know whether she should post all her observations in one long post each day, or post several short posts on separate topics. I'd definitely say that the convention in weblogs is to limit each post to one topic.
Hey Hey Hey! I am a probie at these weblogs, so bare with me! I wanted to post a brief reflection on my weblog for my Journalism class. I found my weblog on a website, www.weirdsmobile.com This website is quite "interesting" and I am sure to refer back to it for any weblogs.
The title of my weblog was Drive. In a brief summary, this is about a woman who is picking out the little things we usually don't see on the Pennsylvania turnpike. She mentions about three main items: 1. A mudslide on the
Pa turnpike, could she work that into her E-Z Pass defense argument? 2.
Irony of her playing, "Its Raining Men," and noticeably its not raining, also
she mentions how blondes receive the most attention. 3. She spotted a tanker
truck that reads, "Animal Technical Fat - Not for Human Food Consumption.
I found these 3 items rather out of the ordinary and quite funny. I sound exactly like this woman to choose these 3 odd items.
Check this out on www.weirdsmobile.com and look under "Traveling in Style" weblogs. Have fun!!

Well, blogging seemed rough and confusing at first but I think I have really gotten the hang of things!
Yes, my weblog title is a knock-off of that annoying TGIF show Boy Meets World, but my blog will be much better than that curly-haired kid--I promise. Come on over...to my weblog.
I am an egotist so many of the entries are about me--tell me if you don't think they are good. I am trying to include better material with cool links, but I haven't really made any "blog connections" yet.
My brand new blog is just sort of hanging out, and I am randomly musing. At the moment, I feel like it is rather disjointed, so I am just waiting for it to find some sort of groove and for me to find an appropriate theme. Due to this slight problem, I've titled my my blog Work in Progress. However, I encourage all of you to visit anyway. My construction isn't nearly as annoying as PennDot's....I promise.
Everyone!
Check out my weblog called "Drop In The Ocean". It's going to be an eclectic mix of really cool stuff! Amy Slade
I am a student in the both The Practice of Journalism (EL227) and Internet Topics in Journalism (EL230). This is my first experience blogging, and I am really excited to try this new (at least new for me) technology. I am a literature major and would love to discuss any type of literature. I think that by using a weblog, some great discussions can generate. Please post a comment on my weblog; I look forward to reading your comments, and adding many of my own.
Hey, I'm Ed and as I'm big into gaming, the majority of my posts will probably fall under that category.
Well, that could have gone better, couldn't it?
Today I created a temporary administrtor account "tempadmin" that I intended to use to let 24 students log themselves into the system (thus saving me some time).
I learned that, instead of actually creating a new login, one student accidentally changed the name and password of the existing tempadmin account, essentially hijacking that account and making "tempadmin" simply disappear from the system. Thus, everybody else who had logged in as "tempadmin" got booted off.
So, Tiffany, it wasn't because the comptuer hates you! It was because one of your classmates got ambitious!
Most of you got halfway through the process, which did save me time. We'll get it right the next time.
As a few of you already know, I spend several hours of my week working at a never-ending (albeit enjoyable) internship with the NECWB on campus. For the past year and a half, I've maintained/wrote for a student focused website about entrepreneurship called envision.
This semester we're planning big changes to the site (hasta la vista, message boards), so if you have any comments or suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.
Also, if you find any missing commas, let me know.
Or, even better, just click on the link to drive up hits. ;)
In the spirit of everything we've been doing in 'EL230:Writing for the Internet', I just wanted to give everyone a nudge in the direction of ezboard.com. There are boards about everything, and it's really easy to weed out the ones that are genuinely active.
There are some terrific groups that focus on all aspects of writing. At 'Little Wolf's House of Writing', you can get critiques on poetry or fiction, there are professionals who give advice on getting published, and you can lend a hand in writing community pieces. It's a really helpful group with a lot of responsive members.
OJR article: The Guardian of the Web
The Guardian Unlimited employs 70 journalists, including reporters, editors, copy editors, designers and production staff. It produces between 70 and 100 Web-exclusive stories a day across a family of 14 Web sites.
Jess Prokop has chosen "TV Hurts" as the subject for her blog, and she's goin' to town:
Having taken a five-year hiatus from television, I now find myself thinking about TV an awful lot. Some of those thoughts are of the celebratory variety, some aren't, but this will be my platform to unleash all of them regardless of their nature. I'm curious as to what others have to say about them.

I've added the first seven students. All of you can now add posts to this blog, as well as your own. You can change the name of your blog, and your nickname as it will appear in the system, but John Spurlock (chair of the humanities division and my boss) asked that all Seton Hill bloggers use their real names on this site. So, I'm going to consider the URL that I've given you permanent (unless, of course, I mistyped your name).
If you still haven't signed up, you may do so by sending me an e-mail from your Seton Hill University e-mail address (not from Yahoo or Hotmail or whatever). That e-mail should include your name the way you want it to appear ("Joe Brown" or "Joseph Brown" or "Joseph Q. Brown"). That will be your login, and I will tell you what your temporary password is. The URL of your blog will then be something like "blogs.setonhill.edu/JoeBrown".
Here we go... this week I will introduce about 30 students to the pleasures of blogging. First I'll start with the nine students in "Writing for the Internet," and then the 24 or so in "The Practice of Journalism". Some students are in both classes, and some already have weblogs. A few faculty members have expressed interest in blogs, too.
