second life
Second life is a great tool that has the potential to bring a group or class closer though inter action of technology and life lesson. The modern way the kids play house ,but will help them to under stand bills,purchase,and other life skills. It seam to have great tools to help one develop other media to shear with others. Personally,I belief that we risk blending reality and fantasy to much in the future. The net is already interfering in to many marriages, is a new wife in second life a grounds for divorce is it cheating. Will having a friend over for dinner in second life mean that you had a date.Chasing a person around the mall in second life really stalking. Of course it not but how will other in society view it .

Going green@ USM
GO GREEN Introduction
The idea of gathering information to try to get The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast to “Go Green” is motivational. Our idea is to create an organic farm for the Long Beach campus. We know there is already one at the Hattiesburg campus, so we thought it would be great to establish one on the Long Beach campus, also. We have contacted Larry Lee to become informed on the steps we would need to take on the Long Beach campus to get the same outlook on the organic farm down here as the Hattiesburg campus. A great option would be to get one of the students, most likely in Hattiesburg, majoring in Agriculture to use the organic farm as an in-field experience. The student could help run the farm and manage it while other students worked it. We could create a club called “The Organic Farmers.” Students could join to be a part of this wonderful organization. The members of the club would help service the farm. The organic farm would be located on the Long Beach campus and would be open to the general public. Therefore, it would also be an advantage to our local communities. The money the organic farm made from the students, administration, and general public would help the farm pay for itself.
Fruits Should Be Incorporated in landscaping
One thing that should be address is the addition of Citrus tree, plum trees, pears tree, pomegranates and peaches in to the master plan as the University. Currently at Stanford University the student body now has healthy option in their cafeteria form the organically grown fruit harvested right on the grounds of the University. This program has been huge success with staff, as well as, student of Stanford.
Currently we are under renovation the gulf coast campus the addition to the master plan of buy fruit tree, instead of palm would save money.
Raised bed block style planting
Raised bed planting can help all people total access to participate with wide row to give wheelchair access. The raised bed also makes it easy to reach all sides of the garden.
Planting in a block style layout will increase yields five fold over traditional row garden and 15 times offer a typical kitchen garden according to Colorado States university web note. (Garden notes #713)

Growing season
The proximity to the Gulf Mexico will allow for 3 harvests a year from each raise bed. The addition of the fruit trees would add a fourth harvest.

Placing garden and container
According to Mrs. Pat the head grounds keeper there is plenty of area on the gulf coast campus though final placement would be left up to DR. Taylor. In my opinion next to pavilion that would double as the framers market would be the idea placement of such a program. Container could be adding to existing locations around doorway a path were some containers currently located.
Community Benefits
One thing all off us in the state of Mississippi should be worried about is our health, the addition of a farm market to the campus sheared with a community of Long Beach and Gulfport would be socially responsible. The public relations aspect could be very good for the university. Today more student are thinking green could be a very powerful recruiting tool in years to come.
Sustainability
The belief that with a little help in funding at the very beginning to get the bed ready and some seeds the market would actually turn a profit. Through work study and volunteers to get it going and growing. The next year this could pay to hire a full time manager, as well as, contribute to a scholarship fund

Frustration
This has been an assignment in management of frustration,(from up loading to copy and paste)emotion for me. This technology can be very helpful with giving direction to your students for assignments. Now that it finished, it was own lack of skills that has made it this frustrating. Hopefully in the future, the lessons learned will keep the stress level to a minimum. Good luck to the rest of the class if need info just ask.
