Plagiarizers beware: there is a new sheriff in town.
The Metro faculty and administration have adopted a new anti-plagiarism
system that touts itself as "the standard in online plagiarism
prevention." The program, Turnitin.com, allows educators to
check student work and papers for plagiarism quickly and efficiently
against a database of published books and journals, active and archived
Internet sites and other student papers, which have been previously
submitted to Turnitin.

Let me set the record straight by saying that I think children
should be exposed to as much culture as their parents can present
to them. Cultural fairs, bazaars, and neighborhood celebrations
should be a part of every child's experience. more >>>

Time for a little point/counterpoint.
Two weeks ago, I wrote a column about the inept, if not completely
unnecessary, Metro Student Government Assembly that graces our campus
and does little if anything to justify its approximately $130,000-a-year
budget (actually, I stated that their budget was $120,000; turns
out they had almost $9,000 left over from last year's budget). In
it I also quoted a member of the SGA, who said at the beginning
of November that everything they had done as an organization up
to that point was "for the SGA." more >>>

“Angela Cheng and Alvin Chow are in their own category of
transcendent mastery. They're astonishing. They took some very well-worn
pieces from the duo repertoire and it was like hearing them for
the first time. They have such creative interpretations. I can't
say enough wonderful things about their artistry ... They're such
gracious people, their teaching was so generous and warm ... and
human. They inspired all of us, at any level–for laymen, for
amateurs, for professionals. more >>>
