Enthusiastic teachers in Thailand use elephants and modern technology to go where no teacher has gone before, helping villagers in remote areas learn to read and write.
http://fyi.cnn.com/2002/fyi/teachers.ednews/01/24/elephant.tutors.ap/index.html
The Non-formal Education Department estimates about 3
million of Thailand's 62 million people are illiterate, which gives the country
a high literacy rate of about 95 percent. But illiteracy is much higher in
remote areas.
Having study Thai in the military many years ago, I can
attest to how industrious they are. They like to think they will become another
"little America". Sure wish we could recapture the American spirit.
In the seventies, I remember and was amazed even then that they estimated their
literacy rate as: 80% could read and write Thai, 70% could speak English
fluently, and about 60% could read English fluently. We here in the US could
learn a lot from these fellows.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Or just chuckle when the parents say something like "Where does she get her <insert child's apparent flaw> from?" These are great updates and always make me feel better.

NASA awards N.Y. Space Grant $99,000 to train aerospace workforce
FOR RELEASE: Oct.
21, 2002
Contact: David Brand
Office: 607-255-3651
E-mail: deb27@cornell.edu
ITHACA, N.Y. -- The New York Space Grant Consortium has been awarded $99,421 by NASA in one-year funding to help train and prepare the space agency's future workforce. The NASA award, one of 45 made nationally, is aimed at strengthening the collaboration between academia and space research and engineering companies in the state.
Cornell University is the lead institution in the New York consortium, a group of 14 institutions in New York state whose goal is to enhance education and research in space-related fields. Yervant Terzian, the David C. Duncan Professor in the Physical Sciences at Cornell, is the group's director.
The New York consortium's proposal to NASA was fully funded as submitted by Terzian. The proposal noted that space industry and geo-spatial research require a significant increase in the workforce, and proposed using the extensive network of scientists, engineers and science teachers in New York state to recruit and train students in colleges and universities, science centers and in industry.
The NASA Space Grant College and Fellowship program was created by Congress in 1988 and today consists of consortia in every state plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. In its latest round of funding, NASA selected 45 state consortia to receive a total of $3.56 million for aerospace workforce development. The awards ranged from $20,000 to $100,000 and averaged approximately $78,000.
The space agency said the winning proposals were selected based on a competitive evaluation of their plans to enlarge and enhance the resource pool of higher education graduates and faculty members who stay connected to or become involved with NASA as employees, contractors or principal investigators.
"These awards will allow Space Grant to continue its work of attracting talented individuals who are qualified and trained to make significant contributions to the NASA mission," said Frank Owens, director of NASA's Education Division. In his proposal to NASA, Terzian said the New York consortium's proposal for workforce development in the state has four components:
o A summer 2003 undergraduate research program at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
o NASA-related undergraduate research programs in the state.
o The Cubesat/Student Satellite Project, which is a national program to bring together universities, industry and government to develop a network of student-built and -- operated satellite programs.
o The Midatlantic Regional Collaboration/NASA/Raytheon Synergy Project: This program will characterize the landscape of the Chesapeake Bay watershed and Mid-Atlantic region using Landsat 7 satellite imagery.
Other affiliates of the New York consortium are Barnard College, City College of the City University of New York, Clarkson University, Colgate University, Columbia University, Lockheed Martin Systems Integration-Owego, Manhattan College, Polytechnic University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Ithaca Sciencenter, SUNY Buffalo, SUNY Geneseo and Syracuse University.

VOLLEYBALL DOWNS IONA FOR BEST WINNING STREAK IN NATION, 3-1 O’Dorisio and Van Cauteren Led the Team in Kills
NEW ROCHELLE, NY (October 22, 2002) – The Manhattan College volleyball team downed Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference rival Iona College three games to one this evening in the Mulcahy Center. With the win, the Lady Jaspers now have the best consecutive winning streak in the nation with 21 victories. The game results were 25-30, 30-19, 33-31 and 30-19.
Manhattan is now 21-1, 3-0 in the MAAC, while the Gaels fall to 15-8, 1-1 in the MAAC.
Iona took an early 7-3 lead in the first game. However, the Lady J's fought back to tie the score seven times before errors got the best of Manhattan causing a 25-30 fall. The Lady Jaspers returned to the court fighting in the second game. MAAC Player of the Week Goedele ‘Luka' Van Cauteren (Oetingen, Belgium) and freshman middle hitter Marija ‘Maggie' Pfeifer (Liberty, MO) combined for six kills and four blocks to help the team win 30-19. In the third game with both teams tied at one game apiece, the Gaels made the Lady J's fight for every point. With the scored tied at 31, senior setter Bridgett Geddes (Escondido, CA) would assist senior middle hitter Lauren Belcher (Huntington Beach, CA) for the kill. Seconds later, Geddes would find senior co-captain Amy O'Dorisio (San Diego, CA) on the outside for the game winning kill at 33-31. Manhattan dominated the final game with the defense and hitting power of O'Dorisio to win 30-19.
O'Dorisio led the team in digs with 20, 15 kills and four blocks, while Van Cauteren had 15 kills, nine assists and four blocks. Belcher followed with 11 kills and a career-high seven blocks. Pfeifer had eight kills and six blocks, and Geddes totaled 39 assists, 10 digs, five kills and two blocks.
The Lady Jaspers will return to action on Friday, October 25th, when they host Saint Peter's at 7:00 PM in Draddy Gymnasium.

Van Cauteren recorded two triple-doubles last week in the victories over Fairleigh Dickinson and Villanova. In the three games to one win over the Knights, the junior setter totaled 16 kills, a career-high 32 assists, and 11 digs. In the three games to one win over the Wildcats, she had 14 kills, 19 assists and 11 digs. The computer science major totaled 30 kills, 51 assists and 22 digs for the week.
The Manhattan College volleyball team is currently 20-1, 2-0 MAAC and with the win over Villanova it is 4-0 this season against BIG EAST schools. The Lady Jaspers have also extended the school's consecutive win streak to 20. Manhattan is tied with Eastern Washington for the longest active winning streak in Division I after winning 20 consecutive matches this season.
The Lady Jaspers return to action tomorrow evening when they travel to New Rochelle for a 7:00 PM matchup with the Iona Gaels.

New Jersey Rejects the Rule of Law
By Alan Caruba
Published 10. 24. 02 at 21:03 Sierra Time
<snip>
The honest election that New Jerseyeans
were supposed to have on November 5 is now one between a Democrat Party
has-been, former State Senator Frank Lautenberg, who
quit while announcing how unhappy he had been in the job, and Douglas
Forrester, a political newcomer who got into the race because he was personally
enraged by the free pass the Democrat Party was giving Torricelli.
He is reportedly a man of deep religious conviction, opposes more gun laws, and
is clearly a conservative.
<snip>
As a New Jerseyean, I am embarrassed
at how stupid my fellow citizens are. There is no "rule of law" when
it comes to politics.
Curmudgeon
And that’s the last word.
