The San Benito High School senior began taking dual enrollment coursesin basic studies such as the Academic Core credit transfer package at TSTCHarlingen during her freshman year of high school. An internship through theSan Benito district’s “Ready, Set, Teach” program placed her in elementary,middle and high school settings to assist instructors and students with diversebackgrounds and needs. The combination of dual enrollment courses andinternship led Gonzalez toward the Education & Training Program major.

“The internship and classes allowed me to become well rounded in waysto help students. I got increasingly involved and from there my natural passionfor teaching took off.,” she explained. “As I learned more about the Education& Training Program, I mapped out a plan for the TSTC courses I should take toearn a degree.”

By the start of the 2008-2009 academic year, Gonzalez realized she mightbe able to earn an AAS degree before finishing high school. That’s when shetook the initiative to formally pursue the degree. She also receivedencouragement from her sister, Brenda Lee Gonzalez, a Digital Media Design

Technology major at TSTC who will graduate from TSTC after summersemester. They are the daughters of Ricardo and Melly Gonzalez.

“Everyone in Education & Training was excited and they were veryaccommodating in helping me get to where I am now,” Gonzalez said.

Her next higher education step will be pursuing a bachelor’s degree inInterdisciplinary Studies (EC-6 Teacher Certification) through TSTC’s Joint-Enrollment Program established with Texas A&M University-Kingsville. She alsowill apply for para-professional openings in San Benito to continue hands-onteaching work. Gonzalez hopes to become a school counselor after attendingthe University of Texas-Pan American.

“Other high school students who seek a college degree while pursuing ahigh school diploma should be determined and ambitious about reaching theirgoals,” she said. “They should not let any obstacles stand in their way.”

Stacey Lee Gonzalez of San Benito is the first student at Texas StateTechnical College to earn an Associate of Applied Science degree before ahigh school diploma when she crossed the commencement stage April 30.

TThhee PPrreemmiisseeOnce upon a time, there was a young Apple software engineer named

Gray Powell. A North Carolina State University graduate who’d made hisdream job and worked closely with one of the big gadget show stoppers, theApple iPhone.

Our story takes place on the night of March 18 in a nice German beergarden in Redwood City, Calif. called Gourmet Haus Staudt. Powell wascelebrating his birthday and enjoyed the drink so much that he reached for hisprototype smart phone, disguised as an iPhone 3GS, updated his Facebookand left the bar bound for home. Unbeknownst to Powell, he had left behindthe next great Apple device that no mortal had laid eyes upon.

Apple has always been known for taking great precaution with itsunreleased and unannounced devices by hiding them from the eyes and earsof the public especially from the media. There have been many stories inApple’s past that state this fact very strongly, even one that led to legal threatsfrom a certain blogger who hit a little too close to the belt on many of hisposts for unreleased Apple news.

After some confusion among neighboring bar mates, the iPhone was inthe care of a bystander who, apparently, surveyed the bar for the owner andeven waited for the owner to return. He explored through the phone’s sixpages of apps and came across the Facebook app that identified the owner.However, Powell did not return that night.

The next day, this Good Samaritan plotted to return the phone, butdiscovered that it had been remotely bricked. This means that the device hadbeen wiped of all information, applications and rendered useless; at least to aconsumer. At this point the stranger took a closer look at the smart phoneand noticed a funny feeling to its exterior and it even appeared to have acamera on the front. He managed to pry the case open and a device that didnot resemble an iPhone. It was a design he had ever seen. After failed attemptsto reach Apple, he ended up in a virtual waiting room with a ticket number.

TThhee MMeeddiiaa SSccoorreess tthhee NNeexxttGGeenneerraattiioonn iiPPhhoonnee..

A few weeks later Gizmodo.com, a technology news blog, acquired thedevice from the man who found it for $5,000. Gizmodo did a full andthorough review of the phone’s in and outs. As soon as the news exploded onthe Internet, the traffic came pouring in and resulted in over 900,000 uniqueviews in the first hour and piled on a whopping 5.3 million page views. Thisled to a substantial amount in revenue from their advertisers as well.

It all seemed like a great victory for Gizmodo as the employees pattedthemselves on the back and watched the numbers climb. This of course lastedall of two seconds in the virtual world. Soon enough, Apple came knocking onthe door and not figuratively. Gizmodo received a direct call from Apple askingfor its device to be returned. Gizmodo complied politely under the conditionthat Apple would formally claim the device as their own and in turn proving

that the device was an official Apple product sealing the deal of its validity.Apple soon sent a formal letter from legal and the device was heading back tothe slippery hands from whence it came.

SSttoolleenn??What looked like a smooth transition turned very south when Gizmodo

Editor Jason Chen came home to find his door smashed in, on April 23, and apolice raid swarming every inch of his home and yard. Apple was nowconsidering the device “stolen.” Jason Chen had the iPhone 4 in his possession,as he was the one reviewing the device and featuring himself in videoshandling the device. California's Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Teamentered the home and seized four computers, two servers and everything thatcould store a shred of digital information. They even took his business cards!

……aanndd nnoowwThe situation has gone from simple to complex. Even though this was

human error, Apple has gone and turned it into quite a kerfuffle. Jason Chen’shardware is not being held under investigation at the moment. According toGaby Darbyshire, COO of Gawker Media LLC, the search warrant thatallowed the raid was invalid under section 1524(g) of the California PenalCode. The defense being made from Gawker Media, who owns Gizmodo, isthat a search warrant is invalid to confiscate the property of a journalist.Instead a subpoena should have been issued for such actions.

The age old question that has haunted the halls of the Internet nowremains: Is a blogger a journalist?

more. This is one of the funniest, warmest, mostpitch-perfect books ever on that mystifyingterritory we call "adulthood.”

Lt. Cdr. David Trevellyan continuesto operate on U.S. soil in Grant'stestosterone-fueled secondadventure to feature the Britishnaval intelligence officer. Trevellyanreports to veteran liaison officerRichard Fothergill in Chicago, where

a rogue British operative, Tony McIntyre, is planningto sell a secret and deadly gas to the tiny WestAfrican nation of Equatorial Myene.

When a savage creature knownonly as the Adversary conqueredthe fabled lands of legends and fairytales, all of the infamous inhabitantsof folklore were forced into exile.Disguised among the normalcitizens of modern-day New York,

these magical characters created their own secretsociety called Fabletown.

THECLASSY,QUICKWITTED,MILLIONDOLLARSMILE OFTONYSTARK...

......iiss bbaacckk oonn tthhee bbiigg ssccrreeeenn!! The storytakes place six months after Tony Stark’s pressconference when he revealed himself to bethe Iron Man. By this point in the story line,the world has become fully aware of thepresence of this metal machine that has,according to Stark, “…privatized worldpeace!”

Across the world, however, another soulis not so enticed with the growth of powerand fame that has engulfed Tony Stark. IvanVanko, a troubled physicist, who feels cheatedthrough some bad blood that occurred withhis father and that of Stark, lets the worldknow that Stark Industries is not the only onewith the technology to shake the world.Things begin to spiral out of control as the

U.S. military presses Stark for his technology,while an overambitious rival, Justin Hammer,offers Vanko a deal to aid them both in theircommon goal of destroying Iron Man.

There are a lot of elements continuedand introduced in this sequel; some are wellmanaged while others just stall out. Tony Starkdeals with internal struggles whilstsimultaneously dealing with the rivalryHammer and Vanko have set up against him.The presence of S.H.I.E.L.D. comes into thespotlight in the third act and for those notkeen to the premise from the comic book, itcan throw you off the train unless you have acomic-book savvy friend sitting next to you toexplain. The dialogue sequences are loadedwith the witted cast that is able to

complement each other so well and bringsaturating life into each character. Most of ushave seen the rock star image of RobertDowny Jr. as Tony Stark from the first film, butthe introduction of Justin Hammer (SamRockwell) and Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke)give the character interaction so much moreto delve into, they’re even as enticing as theexplosive action sequences.

Although I can speak highly of theexplosive action sequences, I will also say thatI was sadly left unsatisfied by the finalshowdown and its resolve. Overall, the filmwas successful in meshing itself seamlesslywith the first one and brought back all thatmade the franchise so appetizing.

If you find yourself doing any of these activities, don’t fret. Thesecommon activities can actually give you an insight into the way that youlearn best and even, perhaps, which career you are best suited for.

Ready to learn more? Ok, stop that doodling for a minute and read this.According to Howard Gardner, renowned psychologist and Harvardprofessor, exhibiting some of the above activities may simply be anindication of the way you are “wired,” and are clues to your unique styleof learning -- the way you learn best. Gardner refers to these as your“intelligences” and he theorizes that there are eight of them.

Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences, as it is referred to,says, in a nutshell, that there are eight ways to be “smart” and that we allhave varying degrees of strengths in each of eight “intelligences.” Are youdoodling again?

Knowledge of Multiple Intelligences can benefit both students andprofessors. As far as students are concerned, identifying the areas in whichyou are strongest allows you to customize your study habits to reap themaximum rewards. This can help you improve your grades and will helpyou retain material longer. This knowledge may also help you decide on afuture career.

If you are a professor, designing your lessons to incorporate as many ofthese intelligences as possible will ensure your students’ success and

mastery of the material, not to mention make your class much moreinteresting. While it is not necessary to teach every single lesson in eightdifferent modes every single time, having knowledge of the eight differentintelligences and using as many as possible in your lessons, enables you toreach more students and makes your teaching much more effective.

Let’s say that you are a typical student at TSTC and you just took a testthat identified music as one of your strong intelligences. If music is yourstrength, then finding ways to incorporate music, rhythm and sound intoyour studying can bring about many benefits.

One idea is to make up songs to help you remember academicconcepts. If you have trouble creating a unique melody, try “piggybacking”on any well-known song- even Mary Had a Little Lamb can work for thispurpose. Another idea is to use rhythms and sounds to help you learn.

If you are a computer networking student, for example, you couldcreate a song to help remember the layers of the OSI Model. You couldalso record various sound effects for each layer of the OSI Model ordevelop individual sound effects to represent the function of each layer.(wwwwww..ffiinnddssoouunnddss..ccoomm is one place to find sounds to use.) The possibilitiesare endless.

Multiple Intelligences may also guide you toward or away from aspecific career, but ultimately the choice is up to you. If, for example, youscored high in the bodily-kinesthetic area, you could theoretically still bean accountant and be very successful if that is what you choose; however,it’s possible that you might find more happiness as a forest ranger or as aphysical education teacher, or even as a firefighter, a career that does nottie you to a desk and allows you the flexibility to move around a bit.

Today, there is an increased emphasis on the verbal-linguistic andlogical-mathematical intelligences; people who are strong in these areasare valued greatly in our society. Not surprisingly then, these are also theareas stressed on most standardized tests and these are also the areas onwhich most schools concentrate.

Gardner believes that society should place an equal importance onpeople who exhibit strengths in the other intelligences, and that weshould value the musicians, artists, designers, architects, naturalists,therapists, entrepreneurs, etc. in our society who add so much to ourworld. I couldn’t agree more. Where would we be without JohnAudubon, Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi or Paul McCartney?

So, What Are Your Strengths?There are a number of online tests designed to help you identify your strengthsin the different intelligences. Here are a couple of my favorites:

Take a look at the following chart to get more of an ideaof what the eight intelligences encompass:

Author’s Note:Kudos to one TSTC professor in the Computer NetworkingDepartment, Anthony Santos, who does a fantastic job of teachingFundamentals of Networking using many of the 8 intelligences. Heshows a video to reinforce concepts, has many hands-ondemonstrations, uses Moodle to provide students with alternativelinks to reinforce learning, many of which are interactive and/or ina different format than the way the material is taught in class, hassmall group assignments (interpersonal), a self-paced individual finalproject (intrapersonal), as well as other activities. Now, if we couldjust get him to sing a song about the various network topologies…
