I did get the Engineers for Education Package but I do not know what I did
with it. I have talked with high school persons interested in
engineering and attempted to help schools with information and grant
applications.

Hello netters,

I need help with printing  from PC-NFS.  So far I have been 
unable to print from the PC to the network printer.  In the 
autoexec.bat file is the command "PRT *", it starts ok. Then 
I try to use "net use lpt1: gill:nickel" to load the printer. 
I get the error "NFS049F :", which tells me the device is 
already in use.  But there  are no local printers on this PC 
at all.

When I run nfsconf to define printers and try to mount the 
printer I get the errors that there are no resources defined 
in the database.  This is not true because at the time I had 
two printers defined and one filesystem defined and mounted. 
Even after exiting nfsconf and running RTM and RNMNIS I get 
the same result. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Dexter L.

Deb Waldron (Handley High School, Winchest, VA,

I'm teaching a new course this year in applied physics. It is a
ninth grade pilot program for kinestic learners.  We did
learning style inventories (LSIs) on all the 8th graders last
spring.  From these, we discovered about 30 8th graders who
were dominant hands-on learners.  From this 30, I ended up with
19 (50/50 girls/boys) students whose parents would agree to the class.  

Ths class is predominantly a lab class.  Labs are done to
introduce principles as well as reinforce these ideas.  So far,
so good.  I'm slowly discovering what they can and can't handle
developmentally.  The kids are turned on to science and come to
class every day to learn. 

I wrote the curricula this summer although I have made numerous
changes to date.  I don't have a text (couldn't find one I
liked in the amount of time I had to look) but I often refer to
Hewitt's Conceptual Physics book.

Hope this helps.

The school where I teach is located right next to the waste water treatment plant but they like myself are operating ona shoe string budget.  They don't even have the equipment for a coliform test and have tosend samples out.  Regardless anything you could pass my way would be appreciated.

To whom it may concern:
 
    Hello. My name is Olivia Schauble.  I am beginning a
research project about violence and crimes. I plan to include
what kind of people commit crimes such as murder, rape, etc.,
and their reasons for it.  I am trying to find information about
if violence has more to do with genetics or the environment.
Where I live, in Northern Idaho, violent crimes are fairly rare.
I was wondering why larger cities usually have more crime.
Could it be more than just the fact the population is larger?
Also, why do some small cities have high rates of violence?  I
am interested in hearing other peoples views about whether
criminals are born violent or learn it through where they live
and people around them.

Dear James Bannan,
 
Let me introduce myself.  My name is Abra Chouinard and I am
from Naples, Idaho - U.S.A.  The geography is all mountains and
trees.  Just north a few miles is one of largest wildlife
refuges in the north west and travel north about 15 more minutes
and you are in Canada.  This area is great for winter and summer
activities.
 
(November 09, 92) At my house there was over 3 inches of snow
and on my way to school you drop only 300-500 feet and in town
there wasn't even a flake.  How in only a few hundred feet does
the air change enough so that it will not snow?
 
I hope to hear a reply from you and your weather etc where you
are.
 
Thank you for your time.
Abra Chouinard

Thanks for the offer to beat schematics editors to a mush.  I use a student-built (actually, more like a Dell-style, custom paint-by-number job, but they had fun) 286 PC to run ORCAD SDT and PCB. I just finished correcting a TAB schematic that I'll use in a class we call "Applied Electronics."  It's not an academic elective; it's designed as an opportunity for the AP Physics kids on one extreme to get some electronics lab experience (some of which they apply to Physics projects) and, on the other extreme, 

for others who just like to be in the lab who see it as an opportunity to conquer their fear of "things that look complicated."  After a few weeks of compulsory lab exercies and minimum theory regarding discrete components, they are turned loose on the electronics library to pursue a project of their choice.  Fairly "ill-structured" to use a phrase from one Colorado school district.  I keep the books on lasers and applications in the event a student decides to try some optics exercises.  So far no one has 

and I don't know much about it myself.

Hey kid, it's good to hear from you again.  I have a receipe for you 40 mL Elmers white glue, 40 mL Elmers yellow glue, 120 mL water. Mix well, this is solution A.  15mL HOT!! water plus 1  tsp. borax. This is solution B and the borax must be dissolved.  Add solution B to solution A with constant stirring.  Pull out the stirring rod and you have a glob of slime.  If any solution A is left just add another mixture of solution B.  This polymer may be stored in a plastic bag and kept for a long time.  It's a 
safe compound to let little kids play with so it should be okay for you <grin>.  I am interested in the wordperfect update and I also have a program for you to look at when you get back home.  Not to much exciting happening here, the kids in chemstudy are starting to make vodoo dolls of me and inserting large needles so I must be doing my job right.  Looking forward to hearing from you soon.  HAPPY TRAILS!

        I'm a biology student beginning to work with IBM
Personal Science Laboratory.  I'd like to make a lie detector
using different probes.  I have access to light, temperature,
ph, motion, distance, and velocity probes.  In my experiment,
I'd like to ask a variety of people questions ranging from their
name, age, birthdate ect. to questions such as if they have ever
stolen, cheated, lied, ect.  As I ask these questions I'd like
to compare the person's differences in breathing, heartrate, and
blood pressure.  So far, I have used the distance probe by
placing it a certain distance from their chest and recording the
distance and velocity as the chest moves over a period of time.
I have also thought of using the light probe by taking a
glass of water, putting the person's hand in the water, placing
the probe light probe in the water, and recording the movement
of light as I question them.  What I'd like to know are new ways
of finding heartbeat, blood pressure, breathing or any other factors that
would lead to an accurate and effective lie detector while using
the probes I have available.

REACHING FOR THE STARS

A free, nationwide distance-learning program designed to  
encourage young minority and female middle and high-school  
students to pursue careers in science and engineering

2:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. (ET)

December 16, 1992
February 10, 1993
March 17, 1993
April 7, 1993
May 12, 1993

Program Description:            	
Each of the 30-minute programs in the five-part interactive series  
will profile a different recipient of a Virginia Space Grant 
scholarship or  fellowship.  These  young minority and female 
researchers will describe what  motivated them to  pursue careers 
in the sciences and engineering, what their lives are  like at the  
college or university where they study, and what their career  
aspirations are.   Each researcher will also teach a basic science 
lesson and briefly  discuss the  relationship of that science lesson to 
their university research  project.  Viewers  will have the 
opportunity to ask questions of the young researchers  via 
telephone  during an interactive segment of the program.  Pre- and 
post- broadcast material  will be mailed to those registering for the 
series. 

Target Audience:  Middle school and high school students and  
other interested viewers

Program Objectives:

The series is designed to provide viewers with:

- An awareness of the career possibilities and rewards that exist for  
students --   particularly minorities and women -- in engineering 
and the  sciences.

- A knowledge of the scholastic paths students must travel to
