To lead, to serve is to be a Roo
Paintbrushes, rakes, shovels, trash bags, gloves – that’s all it takes to make a difference.
At least that was the case last Saturday at the annual Roo’s Give Back Community Service Event.
About 300 Kangaroos gathered at the University Playhouse at 8:30 a.
The Roos are back in town
The Roos arrived on the scene Friday causing a buzz of activity on the Volker Campus, which has been mostly quiet over the summer.
Aug. 21 was the official move-in day for Oak Place Apartments and the Herman and Dorothy Johnson Hall.
Rejecta Mathematica: Caveat Emptor

Rejecta Mathematica: Caveat Emptor
Rejecta Mathematica is a real open access online journal publishing only papers that have been rejected from peer-reviewed journals in the mathematical sciences.
- “mapping the blind alleys of science”: papers containing negative results can warn others against futile directions;
- “reinventing the wheel”: papers accidentally rederiving a known result may contain new insight or ideas;
- “squaring the circle”: papers discovered to contain a serious technical flaw may nevertheless contain information or ideas of interest;
- “applications of cold fusion”: papers based on a controversial premise may contain ideas applicable in more traditional settings;
- “misunderstood genius”: other papers may simply have no natural home among existing journals.
Rejecta Mathematica publishes two types of papers: research articles and correspondences. The screening process for publishing research articles in Rejecta Mathematica includes no technical peer review (hence the slogan Caveat Emptor); rather, papers are selected on the basis of their potential interest to researchers in the mathematical sciences.
Other Rejecta journals may follow (in disciplines outside the mathematical sciences). Please
contact us if you are interested in starting your own Rejecta franchise.

TSN’s Kraft Celebration Tour will give no less than 10 lucky Canadian communities a $25,000 grant, aka “community refresh”, plus an onsite hosting of TSN’s live SportsCentre broadcast.
Nominations come from the public via this special website, and nominations close at 5:00pm eastern time this coming Friday, June 12.
We’ve noticed that one community has made an all-curling application.
The East Hants Curling Association in Lantz, Nova Scotia has been looking to build a four-sheet curling facility since 1988 (!) and geez, for pure stubborness alone, we think Lantz should make it into the top 10!
Don’t you?
Brier competitor (with Team Shawn Adams) and EHCA Director Kelly Mittelstadt is heavily involved in the drive for a curling club.
“We’ve secured government funding sufficient to allow conceptual drawings to be completed,” Mittelstadt told The Curling News.
“Once these drawings are finalized our next, and largest, hurdle will be getting funding from all three levels of government to build this facility.”
Here’s the EHCA nomination under which TCN readers are invited to comment – positively, of course!
What else for a Tuesday?
• There’s not much to say about the the appearance of curling on last night’s TV episode of The Bachelorette. The skill level was, of course, abysmal. One of the bachelors – who had clearly never stepped on ice before – declared the sport “terrifying.”
And to some surprise, the Canadian Curling Association sent out an email urging people to tune in to watch, prompting this blogger to wonder how the organization got her email address …
• Marie-France Larouche: skip et professeure?
• Yeah, yeah, yeah… everyone knows about the spoof story re. an IBM Supercomputer competing at the 2010 Worlds… but here’s the link in case you missed it …
• And finally, Eric Deckers is the latest newbie to utter the obvious: Curling is Harder Than It Looks …

FREE Marketing Help When You Need It Most…
Announcing the beta launch of the Internet Marketing Forum!
Over the past year, I’ve heard from countless marketing professionals, entrepreneurs, and small to medium sized business owners that finding the right information online is often a difficult and time consuming process.
If you’re like me, when you’re searching for answers, you want them fast. After doing some research I decided to take matters into my own hands – to find a solution for this ever increasing problem. The need for on demand solutions to the most difficult and challenging marketing questions.
The Internet Marketing Forum is now live!
Even though I’ve been on the Internet for more than a decade, I was never a big fan of message boards and the like. Quite honestly, until about a year ago, I had never even posted on a forum. But I quickly learned the value of becoming a forum participant from both the perspective of posting questions as well as contributing with answers and explanations on topics aligned with my experience.
After making a rather substantial investment to update MarketingScoop.com (my main marketing website) by adding a forum, I’m happy to announce the beta version went live earlier this week. I’ve already received great feedback from visitors and have already started work on a version 2.0.
Now It’s Up To You!
The success of this forum, designed for those interested in marketing, is entirely up to you! I know that each of us needs a resource to connect with others in marketing and who have skill sets outside our own. This community can also help to validate Internet marketing concepts and ideas. I encourage everyone reading about this release to visit the Marketing Forum and register for free.. make a post, answer a question, and let the marketing community know you’re out there.
Please give me your feedback! This forum is intended for us… marketing folk (with a bent towards online marketing) so let me know what you think. What would make it better? How can we improve it?
Special Bonus: For anyone visiting the site and registering (FREE) within the next 48 hours, I’ll gladly email you a sample chapter from my top selling book, “SEO Made Simple: Strategies For Dominating The World’s Largest Search Engine“. Simply comment on this post with your email and feedback. I won’t publish any comments that include email so your info is safe.
All the best and happy marketing…

Reaching out to the wider community
A Church of England book has recommended that overweight or bald people should be regarded as worshippers with ‘special needs’ alongside the blind, the deaf, very short people, and readers of tabloid newspapers. The advice is part of an initiative to make churches more friendly. It says that bald people could be “in trouble from those overhead radiant heaters some churches have unwittingly installed” and that special arrangements might need to be made for people who are overweight. “Some pew spaces and chairs are embarrassingly inadequate for what is known in church circles as ‘the wider community’
Claims that Fuller was getting WINZ assistance illegally
Natasha Fuller is the beneficiary who is getting $715.00 a week on the dpb to spend most of her day on message boards complaining she cant get the Training Incentive Allowance, despite boasting as being a fully trained private investigator..
She posts as the happy hocker – surely a spelling mistake – on message boards, as well as justyns.
There are claims on the message boards that Fuller was unlawfully collecting a benefit while living with her partner. If so, she should be taken to task for it because she would not have been entitled to it. Her high income partner didn’t give her much money. It is claimed that Fuller was on the benefit while living with her partner. I have not been able to verify that claim, as WINZ won’t tell me (I didn’t ask either). She got pregnant in June 2007, around about the time she was described as a sole mother who used a WINZ enterprise allowance to run a small business that failed. She also allegedly got a 10K WINZ grant to buy a car and have it signwritten for her business before crashing it and getting another one.
In addition she was given $200 a week to buy food when she lived with a partner. Her partner [ whom you can see here just before they split up ] paid for the mortgage because it was under his and his mums name. Now Fuller says she is “ over men so over being hurt and have decided that u just can’t beat a good vibrator:)”
One poster warned
You have stated on the forum board that you have been living with someone and collecting DPB, that is FRAUD. All of us that are paying taxes are paying for you to live the high life and boast about it.
She told the media she got $400 hair extensions around three months after her daughter was born. Apprently her daughter was born 3 February 2008. But on 4 February 2009, on a message board where she writes up to 10 messages a day, she said she had hair extensions for more than a year – if so, she may have been pregnant when she got the extensions.
Fuller says her partner left in December 2008 and that was when she said she applied for the dpb again. She says she doesn’t want to work more than 20 hours. That’s because she may lose the benefit and the In Work Payment is less than the benefit, and you can’t get both.
You can see Fuller on You Tube right here living the high life doing karaoke. She’s drunk. On her Facebook site she gloats that she spent more than $200 on CDs last month.
It is clear that on the dpb you can get up to $1000 a week: Domestic purposes benefit of $272,an accommodation supplement of $225 – ( Fuller gets $110 and a disability allowance of around $35 a week) , tax credits of $200, childcare assistance of up to $181 for one child, and out-of-school care and recreation assistance of $72 a week.
Fuller doesn’t deserve a training incentive allowance. But she should be able to lobby on government policies without ministerial meddling. However Labour shouldn’t moan about it as it released Fuller’s benefit details in Parliament in 2007. Hypocrites. **Further updates here**

A Comparative Study of Scientific Journal Databases in the Social Sciences and the Humanities 
JournalBase *- *A Comparative International Study of Scientific Journal Databases in the Social Sciences and the Humanities (SSH)
Michèle Dassa et Christine Kosmopoulos / Cybergeo, The Electronic European Journal of Geography / Dossier publié le 25 juin 2009 / Document published on 25 June 2009 / Last updated : 17 July 2009.
Presented here for the first time in a comparative table are the contents of the databases that inventory the journals in the Social Sciences and the Humanities (SSH), of the Web of Science (published by Thomson Reuters) and of Scopus (published by Elsevier), as well as of the lists European Reference Index for Humanities (ERIH) (published by the European Science Foundation and of the French Agence pour l’Evaluation de la Recherche et de l’Enseignement Supérieur (AERES).
With some 20,000 entries, this is an almost exhaustive overview of the wealth of publications in the Social Sciences and the Humanities, at last made available in this table, adopting the same nomenclature for classing the journals according to their disciplines as the one used in 27 workstations of the European Science Foundation.
The multiple assignments reveal the multidisciplinarity of the journals, which is quite frequent in SSH, but also sometimes the incoherence of databases that have not been corrected.The research was carried out in 2008 with the financial support of the TGE Adonis of the CNRS.
An updated version will soon be presented online.The final objective of this project, which concerns the entire international community of the Social Sciences and the Humanities, is to put online, in a bilingual English/French version, the database of JournalBase in interactive mode on a collaborative platform, as well as the final report of the study, so that the decision-makers, the scientists, the experts in scientific information have access to up-to-date information, and so that they may contribute to forward movement in the reflection on these questions, through the exchange of experiences and of good working practices.
JournalBase has been updated on the 17 July 2009. It includes the information on open access journals indexed in the DOAJ.
