 RB> contact with them again and ask about packet radio provisions in Oz.

Packet radio transmissions are carried over _amateur_ radio bands, altogether
different than C.B.  If you contact your local amateur radio club, they should
be able put you in touch with someone kind enuf to show you what packet radio is
all about - or perhaps amateur radio in-general.

 RB> Do two operators have to do a "manual" link up each time a packet is
 RB> sent, and what sort of baud (or equivalent) are we talking about?

I'm not well-versed in packet radio, but I can give you some general answers to
your questions.

The baud rates used on VHF packet are usually 1200 - 2400.   I believe there are
a few out there using 9600 baud, but they are not quite as common as they are on
the landline BBS's.  Due to the problem of noise and/or poor signal quality,
those high baud rates are affected.

As far as your first question goes, packet radio operators can have a "direct"
communication with each other, or they can access a BBS (which exists on a given
frequency) and send/retrieve messages, etc.

Hi Larry,glad I could be some help to you.
I am not a teacher(I like my sanity) but I do repaire Computerised machines for industries, like CNC,Robotics and PLC's,I did most of my education at night school, courses in Cad,robotics,Programing in pascal. I started as a graduate in Mathematics many years ago,but here in Australia they don't need mathematicians, so I decided to go for computers and atleast I make a living out of it.
Nice to hear from people in the U.S. , anyway hope I could be of some help and wish you all the best in your teaching job.

 JS> the doc's or help screens.

The best way to learn is to do just what you are doing, experiment with
the program.  Hopefully, you will learn to like it enough to start
reading and participating in the many echomail areas I carry here.

Perhaps I can ask of you a small favour.  It seems that a lot of people
have no idea what 'offline mail reading' is all about.  Hearing from a
Sysop is one thing, but hearing it from a BBS'er that has discovered and
enjoyed it is another.  Would you mind posting a message in the local
chat echo explaining how much you like the program and how useful it
really is?  The more people that take advantage of its power, the
better!

Thanks.

Yes.   I have noticed already that I am sending out more messages.  I feel more
comfortable using the message area at my own pace, with an easy but flexible 
editor.   Quoting is also a charm.    I've already picked out a few echoes to
get involved in, and will be adding more if I think I can handle more message
traffic.   I have been BBS'ing for over five years now, yet I find this new
concept of off-line mail reading very intriguing!

NO problem.   I was an unbeliever once, so I can relate to the reasons _why_

Place the file in the same directory as your BlueWave files and add

Hi again,
 I agree about the fitness level of athletes and their level of success.
A person's ability will only take them so far...fitness is a must. 
The better the shape you are in the longer you last, the harder you play, and the less you get injured. I'm not a real big advocate of being empathetic to someones pains (as an athlete). I always make it clear to the players I coach "Is it a hurt or is it an injury" - because the 'hurts' I don't want to hear about. 95% of the time 'hurts' are because an athlete is not in the appropriate physical condition that they should be in. Injuries, on the other hand, are a little more serious.
 As for drills in soccer or volleyball....we have them coming out of our ears. I think it's easy to make drills - but it's more difficult to make
productive drills. 
 What is your philosophy on your drills? I like to keep everyone moving (as much as possible), alternate between offense and defense related drills, alternate between high intensity and moderate intensity...
hmmmmmmm....I guess there's a bunch of things! What about yourself?
 
Anyway, it's late at night as I'm typing this and my brain is already asleep!
 
talk to you later

Hello,
  I'm not sure if this is the proper group to post my request however,
it seemed to be the best qualified to answer it.  I am currently 
working towards a degree in the College of Education.  I have been 
given an assignment of analyzing a curriculum in the health and/or
sex education area.  I would like to analyze a curriculum based upon
the R.F. Mager curriculum developing techniques.  However, I have been 
unable to find any which have been developed according to this technique
in the campus library.  
 What I'm looking for is a curriculum that contains...
         1. A community analysis
         2. A target group assessment
         3. A lesson plan area stating goals
         4. A scope and scquence chart
         5. An evaluation

 If anyone has a curriculum similar to this (including more would be best)
that they could give me the name of and where to get it.  Or better...be able 
scan it and send the file to me would be of great help to me on this project.

Much thanks for any help you can be,

Alberta,Canada.  I go to a school with about 270 students .  I am writing 
because we had to write someone as a class assingment and I choose to 
write you back because of your interests.  I like all kinds of sports but 
my favorite is hockey. Hockey is the most popular sport around here and is 
in the interest of all most everyone.  I also play on the school 
volleyball and badminton teams. Soccer is slowly starting to become more 
popular around this area but is far behind many other sports in 
popularity. Morrin is a small town about 20k.m north of Drumheller. In 
case you are wonder Drumheller is the home to the famous Royal Tyrrel 
Musuem .

Where abouts in Alberta are you from AND what type of junior high 
physical education program have you had in the past???
 
Much of my physical education programs in the past 3 years have been at the grade eight and nine levels with a little at the grade ten level. 
(Although the majority of my post-secondary schooling was for the secondary level)
 It's to say where to begin until we know what you already have in place.

Hi,
     Just comparing my own children to myself when I was their age, my kids are not in as good shape as I was then.  If we wanted to go somewhere, we rode our bike.  But then drivers looked out for kids on bikes.  Today they see how close they can come to them it seems.  I don't feel good about my children riding their bikes all over town.  
     Ever since my children were tiny babies they have had time outside every day.  As a result they love the outdoors and are very interested in all sports, ski, camp, love walking in the woods, are interested in nature (and aren't nerds either).
     I don't think our expectations are too high for students' fitness.  We should demand more of them and then we wouldn't have such out of shape adults.  
     I think it was you that I was telling about the fitness related injuries on the college soccer team I'm asst. coaching.  The head coach i s determined to spend a lot of each practice on fitness.  If you have any good soccer fitness drills you could pass along, I'd very much like to have them.  Right now we are pretty much working on endurance so that they can play a 90 minute game without becoming fatigued.  We are doing that with different ball handling drills combined with 1 minute all out handling 




and a minute rest.  They are also doing Indian type runs around the soccer field.  They run a 2 mile loop on their own time each day.  Our practices are quite rigorous and they are holding up better and better each week.  By the end of Oct. I expect they'll be in great shape to become couch potatoes again.
     I love volleyball and have a friend that coaches a high school team.  If you have any good drills you could pass on to her I'm sure she would appreciate adding to her expertise too.  (I only do backyard volleyball!)
    c-ya later.
