1. Look at NSF's website and find out the standard disclaimer they expect to appear on all works that they fund, and then put it in the "About DITC" page.
2. Get statistics on absenteeism rates in public schools over the last 10 years. I need info to make a case about how IR may help this forgotten population of learners.
Here is something that may be helpful: absent.pdf

Student performing double-blind experiments - very difficult to find anything on this because so many hits come up that are about performing double-blind experiments ON students. Will have to continue this one.

Axiomatic design:
Here is an article comparing it to TRIZ:
http://www.triz-journal.com/archives/2000/08/d/

Here is a book available at the Georgia Tech library:
Axiomatic Design: Advances and Applications

Here is a short blurb on its history, definition, and how it is used:
http://www.iae.re.kr/english/news/9605Axiom.html

Here is another book in the library:
Axiomatic set theory. With a historical introd. by Abraham A. Fraenke.

PDA stuff: I actually program on an iPaq in the Design of Operating Systems class - so I have some experience with that. I can also ask him if he could point me in the direction of someone in the CoC that is very knowledgable of that kind of stuff..

Internet being down - I'm almost positive that I sent in a help request regarding our loss of internet connection at the office - but I'm not completely sure if I did. Would you mind sending one just in case?? Just say that both our Mac's network connections are broken - and that it appears that their nameserver is down (they both share the same nameserver)..

On the N. Network stuff - I was thinking that maybe a language like Matlab or Maple would be appropriate?? Im not exactly sure how you would want to use the application - so I don't know if Matlab would work or not...
