New Perspectives on Students – FINALE!
by gwilson on Jun.01, 2009, under Uncategorized
Okay, the end, I promise!
So, how can a college science department change its curriculum and pedagogy to reach today's students in a world where the challenges and issues make this more difficult than ever? We believe the BIMS program at McMurry provides the template by which an effective program can be built. I've outlined the key elements below.
1. Less is more. Our overarching approach to our degree has two key ingredients. First, we believe it is important to know key foundational principles very well, and the rest of what is important will be added along the way. We believe emphasizing just-in-time teaching instead of just-in-case teaching.
2. Build the program one brick at a time. Teach well individual pieces of the curriculum within courses, teach well how the pieces fit together to build the product. Unique and independent, while also interrelated and inseparable. Courses do not represent the end of learning on any topic, but instead are new tools to be used for overall learning. Bricks together are not a house; bricks deliberately placed in mortar based on an overall plan is how you do construction.
3. Engage the unknown. The unknowable – that which is not found in a textbook – has to be the driving force for engaging student learning. Why not use knowledge and skills students are acquiring to accomplish something? We would not know how to teach this major without research-rich teaching.
4. Provide proof of your success. Our intent is to build a three-pronged portfolio to demonstrate the quality of our graduates. Each BIMS major will graduate with a digital portfolio, a biological portfolio, and competency testing results.
So, how do these four elements blend together in the BIMS program? Here's an overview:
The new BIMS major represents a move by McMurry to provide a new type of Biology graduate whose laboratory skills and experience in molecular biology prepare them for further education or entry into employment in fields requiring such preparation: biotechnology, forensic science, biomedical research, and others. At the same time, the focus and depth of the degree provide exceptional training in preparation for many graduate and professional programs. The curriculum is centered in contemporary biology and human health. This applied biology training and education is a big step forward in preparing biology graduates with the knowledge and skills expected for biologists in 2023.
1. As novel as the collection of courses, the true innovation in the BIMS curriculum lies in the teaching philosophy and strategies that will be used. BIMS pedagogy incorporates a new approach to teaching fundamental principles of Biology – "content in context". Central to the pedagogy is "research-rich" teaching, which gives students investigative assignments in all courses and requires application of skills learned for the purpose of answering interesting research problems. Thus, BIMS courses teach content along with skills in the context of investigation, and reinforce the knowledge and skills through open-ended projects. Students learn to think like scientists and act like scientists by working like scientists.
2. Every required BIMS lecture course includes critical reasoning and analysis. Every required BIMS lab includes experimental design and an open-ended research project. In some instances these may employ model systems widely used by top science programs (yeast, Chlamydomonas, bacteria impacting human health, primary and transformed cell lines). There will be plenty of experience in identifying a problem, asking interesting questions, and applying knowledge and skills to find a solution. Required courses will have literature analysis, scientific writing components, and speaking expectations.
3. All required BIMS labs take the "content in context" approach. Techniques and content tie together logically, as is currently done in BIOL 3410 Microbiology lab: bacterial strains isolated and identified by students early in the semester become the experimental organisms used for teaching subsequent topics and skills. We see no advantage in using "canned exercises" in our labs to teach stand-alone techniques and concepts unrelated to one another when our more "real-world", integrated approach can be used instead.
4. The "content in context" approach will span pairs or series of courses, allowing projects begun in one course to be expanded upon in others. Mutants created in BIOL 3460 Genetics lab can be studied in Molecular & Cell Biology (MCB) Lab. Cell products separated in the MCB lab can be analyzed or modified later in the Advanced Bioscience Lab or the capstone course, for example. Such products and evidentiary artifacts become a "biological portfolio" demonstrating skills proficiency and providing starting materials for the next course taken. In this way, we demonstrate that courses connect with one another, techniques from many courses and disciplines may be needed to solve a research problem, and discoveries are often multi-stage processes taking place over time. This is how science is accomplished, and our students will experience science as it is done.
5. It will be important to introduce students to sophisticated equipment and techniques they will encounter when they graduate. Experience and skills that may be transferred to new environments as "newer and better" approaches are developed will be fostered. Emphasis will be placed on hands-on use of such instrumentation to insure all students can "think" and "do".
6. Knowledge and skills proficiency will be a hallmark of this program, with students being required to pass biology content "qualifying" exams in BIMS 4000 before placement in their senior capstone project. These topical exams will be administered in their junior year with opportunities for re-takes until proficiency in subject areas across the spectrum of biological studies is demonstrated. Additionally, we will reinforce knowledge obtained by administering comprehensive finals in all required BIMS courses as a matter of policy.
7. We believe a hallmark of any quality program is use of evidence-driven decisions for program improvement. Evidence for assessment can be provided in a number of ways.
a. Biological Portfolio. The labs central to the BIMS major are focused on generating biological products/artifacts typical of the research lab, whether microbial strains, mutants, proteins, nucleic acids, gels, sequences, or data. These various products can be graded based on their quality, purity, quantity, and/or accuracy, and thus provide a basis for judging successful acquisition of skills and knowledge. The use of the biological portfolio in multiple courses provides confirmation of proficiency of students in skills development, as the quality of products from one course impacts their usefulness in subsequent labs.
b. Lab Data and Communication Portfolio. Students find themselves responsible for various reports, posters, presentations, and other forms of reporting for their classes, as such artifacts are expected for all courses required for the BIMS major. Besides grades for effectiveness of the communication techniques, these sources can also be used to probe their depth of knowledge and understanding at each course level and thus provide insight into their development. By identifying benchmarks for expectations at sophomore, junior, and senior classifications, the progress toward achieving serviceable skills can be assessed.
c. Fundamental Knowledge Assessment. Each student will take BIMS 4000 BIMS Junior Exam during their junior year, with subject tests over foundational biological principles. This functions as the equivalent of diagnostic qualifying exams for graduate students, revealing strengths and weaknesses that must be remedied for students to successfully complete their degree. Students may re-take these exams until they achieve passing scores. Results from these exams will be used to revise and strengthen the curricula of lower level courses (for instance, particularly problematic areas where the pass rates on first or second attempts are below average would emerge and provide ample evidence of the need for taking corrective measures). This exam might also serve as the baseline exam for BIMS students, given in the first year or again in their senior capstone course, along with the MFT in Biology. Such information would be important to assessing "value added". To help prepare students for these subject tests, BIMS courses will adopt a policy requiring comprehensive exams for all required lecture courses.

Praise the heavens, the Gods of Denim have finally arrived!… but they only carry five brands? Denimology reports that three international buddies got together and decided to start up an online denim store—Gods Of Denim. When we first heard the name, the mental picture was something like Greek statuesque ripped dudes in heroic poses holding flags with ever denim brand ever embroidered on them. (Okay, our imaginations are a tad vivid). But they're not quite there yet. Their initial brand picks are Denham The Jeanmaker, Denim Demon, Jean Shop, Momotaro and Pace Jeans. And while that might keep things simple, we'll have to wait and see whether this retailer lives up to their name-legacy.

Get Down (MP3), MP3 (£6.32)
Joe Simon's 1975 Spring album Get Down sees the light of day here for the first time on CD. It features his biggest U.S. hit "Get Down, Get Down (Get On The Floor)" which as the title suggests is not a ballad and which reached No. 8 in the U.S. pop charts at the end of a nine year stretch of hits. Side I is fairly solid churning funk dance material opening with the biggest hit and running through "Fire Burning" and the top hundred hit "Music In My Bones" with a break for a ballad along the way. Side 2 sandwiches two more heavy dance tunes between two strong ballads "You Don't Want To Believe It (My Man)" and the powerful "Crying Time In Memphis". This is 1 of 5 great Joe Simon CDs on Southbound.

OhYeah! ready-to-drink shakes exceed expectations in every possible way. The 5 Rules of Protein EconomicsThere have been many sports nutrition advancements in the last several years, but none of them has made more of an impact on helping successful bodybuilders, elite athletes and fitness enthusiasts achieve leaner and more muscular bodies than the quality and availability of protein supplements. In fact, if you're serious about getting results, protein intake is such an important part of an athlete's nutrition program that it should be on top of your supplement list. Now, this isn't exactly "cutting edge" news, especially if you're an experienced athlete; however, at ISS, they're constantly looking for ways to improve tried-and-true nutritional products, as well as techniques they know will bring their consumers the best results. Since ISS gets tons of questions about protein, they believe many athletes are still confused about many aspects of this important topic. So they decided to create this ISS Special Report, "The 5 Rules of Protein Economics," which provides clear-cut and straightforward advice regarding protein intake for gaining size, reducing body fat and enhancing recovery. Step 1: Make sure each meal includes specific protein that digests slowly. Consuming proteins such as lean meats, low-fat cottage cheese and protein supplements like Micellar Matrix will insure a consistent delivery of amino acids that will improve net protein synthesis and less muscle protein breakdown. Step 2: Gain control of your protein intake by calculating your individual protein needs. As a rule hard training athletes should consume 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. For example, if you weigh 200 lbs, your "baseline" protein needs are 200 grams per day. Step 3: Spread out your protein consumption over 5-6 meals. For basic meal planning take your "baseline" protein needs calculated in Step Two (above), and divide that number by five or six. So for the same 200-lb athlete your protein per meal goal would be 33-40-grams. Step 4: Re-arrange your protein consumption to accommodate training days. By calculating protein consumption for each day, and then dividing this number to account for five to six meals (Steps Three and Four), you have essentially created your protein planner for non-training days. Now, for training days you can "stack the deck" in favor of protein synthesis by consuming protein before training, and consuming extra protein in the two meals post-workout. This strategy is illustrated in the ISS Protein and Training Meal Planning Chart shown in Rule #3 above. Step 5: Utilize protein cycling throughout the year to increase the digestion and absorption of any protein you eat. Your body is constantly trying to find "equilibrium," and that can mean conserving, or wasting the proteins you consume each day. By periodically cycling your protein consumption you can take advantage of your bodies "evolutionary" survival mechanisms, and ultimately get more amino acid synthesis out of the protein you consume. ConclusionFor years, athletes and bodybuilders have instinctively known that protein intake can have a direct effect on muscle growth, body composition and exercise recovery. However, many athletes have not fully understood how to get the best results from the protein they consume--until now. ISS believes any serious athlete who wants to improve their muscle size, exercise recovery, and/or body composition can use the knowledge in this article to get the best results possible. ISS Research's VisionAs much as it is in their power, ISS will bring to market the cleanest, purest, and most effective sports nutrition products. They utilize only the highest-quality raw materials from suppliers who meet their standards of integrity. Even though this raises their costs, they keep their products affordable, and hope that the rest of the industry will follow. As science advances so will their formulas. The company is committed to creating long-term impact on the standards of sports nutrition, and will continue to stand behind this customer commitment. ISS looks forward to the day when all manufacturers will adopt the same standards they do, and no matter which products you purchase, no matter from whom, you will know that you are taking clean, effective, and safe supplements.

Skip to comments.Chris Christie has the chance to be a real leader on climate change
Posted on 11/04/2012 6:13:11 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer
In light of horrific wildfires, a historic drought and now the destruction wrought by Hurricane Sandy, the political understatement of the year has to be President Barack Obama's recent comment to MTV. Asked about climate change's absence from all presidential debates for the first time in a generation, he said, "I am surprised it didn't come up."
Instead of "surprised" he should have said "appalled" -- because that's what he and most Americans should be. As Scientific American reports, while no one weather event can be blamed on climate change, science now definitively "link(s) climate change directly to intense storms and other extreme weather events."
Of course, the reason the issue hasn't "come up" in a presidential campaign roiled by climate-related disasters is because many voters refuse to acknowledge that human-intensified climate change is real.
This is why, just days before the national election, New Jersey's Republican Gov. Chris Christie is a potentially more important political figure than anyone running for the White House. Thanks to his fame, his credibility among conservatives and his ubiquitous media presence during the cataclysm, he has the rare chance to persuade Republicans to discard their denialism and finally face reality.
(Excerpt) Read more at oregonlive.com ...
Stand around Crispie Creme right after he has six Big Mac's, and you're bound to experience a climate change.
Climate change is a LIE.
Guess they still believe in Oregon.
Yup, I heard the next olympic event to be added will be two laps around him.
Fat chance.....
...has just been shot to pieces.
I would say that he has a real good chance of becoming a Democrat. If Romney wins or loses on Tuesday, Christie's name will remain 'mud' in the Republican party.
Let Governor Christie start implementing a large number of expensive policies designed to lessen carbon footprints directly after a disaster. He'll be a hero.
Is it just me, or is this so far beyond unbelievably stupid that it's not even within the realm of possibility that anyone is really this much of an idiot, and willing to display it publicly?
Guess they still believe in Oregon.
I guess no one sent them the memo about climate-gate 1 & 2 and the latest biased numbers from the people who were behind both debacles. Even their own data that show that the earth's climate has not warmed for the past 16 years. If the data had not been manipulated there is no doubt that it would show cooling not warming. What a bunch of bozos.
I recall when Sci American was scientific.
His political instincts suck.
Giving Obama a photo op, then having the unions turn away non-union help has made him look like an idiot.
Make no mistake, he's an ace over a deuce, compared to the guy he beat (Corzine), but so is a root canal.
Who decided this chooch should've been keynote speaker? That moron should be shitcanned.
It looks pretty stupid when expressed on the national level, but within the context of Portland, Oregon, it is conventional wisdom.
Why can't they just realize that the NE was slated for destruction by the gods of earth, wind and fire? And you know, the gods are not crazy!
It's a small step from belief in global warming or climate change to the gods concept... I choose...
Climate change is a fact. It has been going on since the earth began. The lie is that it is caused by man or can be controlled by man.
For fu*ksake, I'm sick of hearing about "climate change." Their newest bs response is to say, "Maybe it isn't real. But are you willing to take the chance?" Yes. Yes I am because the "solutions" they're proposing are so absurd.
I saw another fool on ted.com say that climate change doesn't matter because what's being proposed (renewable energy, less waste, respect for Moma Earth, etc.) is so wonderful.
I can just see how well this announcement would go over ...
Gov. Christie: "In an effort to stave off the next hurricane by reducing the impact of climate change, I'm going to permanently reduce New Jersey's carbon footprint. As of 9:30 AM today, all utility crews that were working to restore power are going to stop that work ... and they will be reassigned to a new task of shutting off power to the entire state. We're going to live like the GEICO cavemen from this point forward."
The north east is currently experiencing the total " green energy " utopia liberals dream of....
No electricity, no power, no gas... No carbon footprint at all....
The author, David Sirota, was a Journalism and Political Science major. As evidenced by the confusion in his writing, Sirota has no background in or understanding of "science".
Sirota is a typical 'progressive' who is a sucker for appeals to authority and is clearly lacking in critical thinking skills, which undoubtedly explains why he has a gig as contributor to the Salon web site. His choice of Scientific American as the authority behind his dubious climate claims is laughable.
Screw the fat windbag! Where was he when the Alabama utilty crews drove up to help the residents get power? These true Americans were cursed at and called scabs by organized union thugs who have Jersey and the Met area under their grip. Consequently, the Alabamans returned home without a word from Christie, Cuomo or Bloomberg.
That's what I think too. After Hussein gets trounced the dems are going to move away from the unions and Christie will turn parties. He'll become the dem candidate in 2016.
Utility crews from Houston went up there too, I haven't heard if they stayed or came home.
Agreed. So where's the Barf Alert?
He regularly appears in our newpaper .... the few times I ever pick the paper up, I regularly refuse to read anything he writes.
Dude, climate change went out with mullet hair and mom jeans.
I believe climate change is real, hell, it happens every day, I wake up in the cool of the morning and by 3PM its hotter than hell, - what I DON'T agree with is that is is a bad thing or that it is in any way out of the range of cyclic variation.
If we let the left define the words, we lose
Of course climate change is real, it changes from season to season and from year to year. We have droughts and floods, cold winters and some years, no winter at all. It is the "man made" part that I disagree with.
Truly, these people are mentally ill. AND mentally deficient.
IOW, ready for recruitment by the DOJ, based on new DOJ guidelines for recruiting lawyers.
A climate scientist is to a real scientist as is a kid with a balsa wood glider is to a fighter pilot.
They have invented a new religious terminology.
On a geological time scale the Pacific Northwest is so toast.
I might give some thought to climate change (didn't they used to call this "global warming" or some such?) were it not promulgated largely by professional liars.
Maybe by going on the record as to what total crock of shite and con game it actually is.
Wildfires, droughts and hurricanes have always occurred, and are not occurring with any more frequency than normal.
Extreme weather is an integral part of the Earths climate
Global temperatures have been declining for 2000 years when you don't use the fraudulent data used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The guy who takes a helicopter to his son's baseball game and then needs a car to go 100 yards is the new global warming fighter???
"Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything"
Your first clue you're dealing with an idiot is when you have to explain to them that it's a joke.
Your second clue that you're dealing with an idiot is they still don't believe it's just a joke even after you tell them it's a joke.
They really are idiots.
Excellent points.
Treat yourself to a really good laugh at an idiots expense next time someone brings up Global Warming/Climate change.
Simply make the statement and be just a serious as you can, "everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything", then sit back and watch, they will not get that it's a joke.
How much do donuts contribute to global warming?
Obama to Christie, "I've got fudge........Hershey's Chocolate Kisses....We're talkin' Haagen Dazs, here, what do you say?"
The Onion? No?
It should be...
Chris Christie is a true treasure to this country. His ass is so big it blocks out at least 25% of all the harmful UV rays from the sun. He is however, a Democrat, a great big Blue Dog Democrat. So just say it, let it go and let him go. He doesn't represent me or my party in any shape, matter or form.
By the way I see how that Hope we get some help, and Change your underware because they're pulling guns on us because we don't have anything to give them for free is going in New York.
By the way please turn Bloomberg loose by himself in the wiped out areas. Then put that on Tru TV later. That would be a hoot! I bet he could run a New York Marathon trying to get away!
Murphy's law. Just when you think you've idiot proofed something. They will invent a better idiot...
The Left exemplifies this axiom...
"Fat chance....."
Worth repeating.

I am unearthing this again.. I watched xfc again... and gawd... Emma.. whoever cast her deserves to be harpooned.
I apologize, but I can not stand January Jones as Emma Frost...
Everyone complains about Halle Berry as Storm, Anna Paquin as Rogue, etc....
But January Jones is BY FAR THE WORST ACTOR/ACTRESS in the entire series.
She did the character absolutely NO JUSTICE-- Even Banshee and Angel manage to outshine her.
And for all those horndogs saying 'it's okay if she can't act because she is hot.'
She was supposed to be way-- way hotter. She didn't really have the sexy attitude of Emma. (And I realize this is Pre-X-men Emma) She didn't even have Pre-X-men Emma down..
Where is the english acent?
Where is the malovent WHITE QUEEN!?!???!
I award you no points, Ms.Jones.
Get an new actress for Emma.
3rd times a charm.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Mild Memory Problems May Be More Common in Men
Jan. 25, 2012 -- Men may be more likely than women to experience mild memory or cognition problems. This condition, called mild cognitive impairment (MCI), often comes on before full-blown dementia.
More than just "senior moments," MCI symptoms may include difficulty remembering recent events and/or new information, as well as problems with language, thinking, or judgment that are greater than age-related changes but not reaching dementia. People with MCI are at greater risk for developing dementia, but not all will develop dementia.
The new study included 1,450 people from Olmsted County, Minn., who were aged 70 to 89 and free of dementia when the study began. Participants took mental tests every 15 months for about three years and were interviewed about their memory. By the end of the study, 296 people developed MCI.
The rate of developing MCI was higher among men than women. Risk of MCI was also increased among people who were less educated and those who were single, the study showed.
Exactly why men seem to develop MCI more than women do is up for debate. "It is possible that women develop MCI later than men and that when they do, it is more severe, so we may miss it because they progress more rapidly to dementia," says study author R.O. "Rosebud" Roberts. She is an epidemiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Some of the strongest risk factors for MCI are the same as those for heart disease -- namely high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. "These occur earlier in men than women," Roberts says.
In light of the new findings, "doctors should have a higher degree of suspicion for MCI in men," she says.
Prevent MCI and Maybe Dementia, Too
Not everyone with MCI progresses to full-blown dementia, Roberts says.
"People with MCI may be cognitively normal at another stage, they may still have MCI, or they may progress to dementia," she said. The majority will continue to display MCI symptoms or develop dementia.
"Once it has started, we don't have any treatments for MCI," she says.
As such, a lot is riding on preventing MCI, and hopefully dementia, too. "We need to start our efforts to reduce obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure earlier," Roberts says. These risks are usually established by middle age.

Comments: Great pair of gloves. Went from Warrior Kingpins to these, my first pair of traditional fit gloves. Protection is awesome, plastic inserts nearly everywhere aside from a couple of pieces of the cuff. Much more freedom with the cuff design to go forehand-backhand. Stick feel is just fine, the overlay on the palm and the thumb doesn't even feel like it's there. Only downside is the removable thumb lock piece. Once I pulled it out and put it back, it tends to slide down, resorted to shoving it up to where it isn't exposed and it stays there.

So So
Spoiler!Well I'm confused, why bother with former council member? I guess that means they will target Jellel as well.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
The battle between Fairy Tail and Tartaros came quicker than I thought,
I don't know how this is gonna go but it's going to be a tough battle for Laxus, can't wait for next week.
So does that mean they'll go after Jellal then? I seriously want to see them try.. also Laxus is about to open a can of whoop ass, I'm calling it now, but I feel like the demon will cheat or throw a trap severely injuring Laxus, until someone comes to his aid. I wonder where Zeref is at in all of this.
Yeah, this demon is definitely going to pull out something hax, just by looking at the title of next weeks chapter implies his gonna be a tough nut to crack (magic particle barrier).
But Laxus has Dragon Force and Fairy Law up his sleeve so it should be interesting to see how it goes.
I think the demons might say something towards Natsu when facing him, like what Zeref did. Laxus better not disappoint.
well, its good to see Laxus battle come first. hes the top tier fighter of FT. imo, he would heavily wounded but got the upper hand. still, his enemy managed to escaped after taking critical hit.

How-To Geek
How to Force Reboot and Quit Apps on iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch
Like all operating systems, sometimes iOS will slow down or applications will freeze. Today, we'll be showing you what to do in those scenarios by explaining how to force quit applications and how to force reboot the OS.
If you do have an application freeze, your best bet will be to try and force quit the application first. It that doesn't work, or your device is completely frozen, you can force reboot your device instead.
Force Quit Apps Using Task Switcher (iOS4 Only)
There are two ways to quit apps on iOS devices: the manual method, and the software method, which only works on newer devices able to run iOS4 with multi-tasking enabled.
Since multitasking is enabled on iOS 4, all we need to do to quit an app is open the task switcher by hitting the home button twice, and then hold down on the app we want to quit until it starts jiggling. A red "-" should appear on the corner of the app icon. If we press it, it will quit the app:
Manually Force Quit Apps
If you're using an older device that doesn't support multi-tasking, you can quit an application manually—though this also works as a force quit on the newer devices if you prefer. You'll need to follow the following steps:
- Hold down the Sleep/Wake Button on the top.
- Wait for a red slider to appear. Don't slide it.
- Let go of the Sleep/Wake Button.
- Hold down the home button and the app will force quit.
Once you're back on the home screen the application should be closed, and you can re-open it normally again. Here's a diagram to better illustrate how it works:
Reboot Your Device Normally
If your device is completely frozen, or you're having other problems, you'll want to reboot your device instead of just quitting an app. You can simply hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears, and then slide it across.
Once the device is off, you can use the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on again—just hold the button down.
Force Your Device to Reboot Manually
If the device is just completely frozen—which shouldn't usually happen, but every so often it does—you can hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time until the device reboots itself.
Make sure you let go of the buttons once the device starts rebooting, otherwise you might end up in Recovery Mode, which you probably don't want.

"Make sure you let go of the buttons once the device starts rebooting, otherwise you might end up in Recovery Mode, which you probably don't want."
Or worse, DFU mode which forces a restore.
I thought DFU and "Recovery Mode" were the same thing?
If you're jailbroken, get SB Settings and you'll have the option to restart the springboard, reboot, and shutdown.
You can also get an SB Settings plugin called RemoveBG which quickly and simply removes all background processes in one touch.
I thought Mac's were perfect, and the App Store vetted all these applications to make sure there they were perfect too?
OK, I'm being snarky & inflammatory here, but I'm serious in wondering if this is a common problem on iOS or not? I was considering getting an iPad.
Have people run into freezing often? What apps?
@Awesome We're going to cover DFU mode and recovery mode in their own articles.
@Moffmo They're not.
@CK Every OS has stability issues, but in my experience they are extremely rare on iOS.
It's pretty rare, but sometimes applications do lock up – the problem is that it happens so little that people aren't sure what to do when it does happen, prompting this article.
I had no idea you could force quit an app in iOS4 besides the task switcher method. I don't like the fact that EVERY app you open is now running in the background until you force-close it. :P
I found that the instructions in : Force Quit Apps Using Task Switcher (iOS4 Only) are not really working. It is more a Recent List than a task switcher.
After a reboot I found all applications previously available in the Task Switcher still there.
If you have a jailbroken device and install SBSettings (as suggested by Kellan) you have also a button to kill processes. This realy kills the process
If you get to the recovery or DFU mode you can use TinyUmbrella to "Kick" the device out of the status and reboot properly.
Great tips! I just got my first iTouch the other day (4th gen), and the tips helped.
The home button "double click" is a winner to access an app running in the background, and the trick to kill the apps was a new one on me. Thanks! I had about 50 apps running in the background!
I tried the "red slider" power off method, and upon restart, you see the Apple logo for about 45 seconds until you get the log-on screen. It must REALLY power it down!
Geek out!
I wish Apple had a task manager like Android. Reboot is fast, but it would be nice to just shut down apps that I'm not using instead of a full reboot. I just had Pandora tell me it couldn't play and that I had to restart the app. I can do this on my Android phone, but had to shut down my iPad to do it. It's a small complaint though because my iPad could reboot at least twice while my phone before my phone could do it once.
i am realy looking for help… i have been given an ipad and cant do anything with it… all that appeares on screen is the usb and itunes logo… i cant do anything with it can anyone please help me… i cannot access anything it apeares to be locked help me please
@Trish You need to connect the iPad to iTunes to set it up before you can use it.
@trish ….read the instructions that come with yer iPad. They are written in fifty diff languages…..
Awesome, safari was froze and the reboot worked thNks

In physics, you can't get something for nothing, but superconductors offer hope of someday breaking even. Figuring out how they work, and getting them to live up to their potential, has given scientists more than a few headaches in the years since they were discovered. Let's see how much you know about these wonders of electromagnetism.
Start Quiz »
You scored
0 out of 20
Question 1 of 20
What happens to current sent through a superconducting wire?
It gains a slight voltage boost.
It's transmitted without loss of energy.
Superconductors have zero resistance, so current sent through such a wire loses no energy.
It experiences a sharp voltage drop.
Question 2 of 20
Who discovered superconductivity?
Johannes Diderik van der Waals
Hugo Christiaan Hamaker
Heike Kamerlingh Onnes
Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes and his collaborators, Cornelis Dorsman, Gerrit Jan Flim and Gilles Holst discovered superconductivity. The research of Johannes Diderik van der Waals -- a fellow countryman and contemporary physicist famous for the forces, molecules, radii and equation of state that bear his name -- helped inspire Onnes' work. Hugo Christiaan Hamaker, another Dutch scientist, was an experimental physicist famous for his statistical work.
Question 3 of 20
In what year did Onnes discover it?
When it was first identified by Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes in 1911, superconductivity flew in the face of established physics. In fact, an entirely new kind of physics, quantum mechanics, would have to be established before anyone had a hope of cracking the mystery of how the phenomenon worked.
Question 4 of 20
Approximately how cold do conventional superconductors have to get before they enter the superconducting state?
0 K (minus 273.2 C, minus 459.7 F)
39 K (minus 234 C, minus 390 F)
Superconductors only function at very cold temperatures, on the order of 39 K for conventional superconductors (the solid mercury wire that Kamerlingh Onnes used had to be cooled below 4.2 K) and below around 130 K for modern, high-temperature superconductors. As for absolute zero, it cannot be achieved artificially, although laser cooling has taken us within one billionth of a degree of it.
130 K (minus 143 C, minus 226 F)
Question 5 of 20
Superconductors cease being superconductors if they are exposed to which of the following?
too large of a magnetic field
too much current
Both are correct.
Just as superconductors have a critical temperature that separates them from normal conductors, they also have a critical magnetic field that hits them like kryptonite. Too much current will also take superconductors from hero to zero.
Question 6 of 20
Which of the following do NOT currently use superconductors?
MRI machines
alkaline batteries
Although low critical magnetic fields limited the usefulness of older Type I superconductors for magnetic applications, modern Type II superconductors, such as niobium-titanium (NbTi), can handle much higher magnetic loads. Because they produce higher magnetic fields than, say, electromagnets made from copper wire, they have proven invaluable in MRI machines and proton accelerators.

Question 7 of 20
How well a material conducts electricity has to do with what factor?
how easily its component atoms give up electrons
the availability of free electrons to carry current
both A and B
Good electrical conductors have atomic structures that readily give up electrons, moving them from the valence energy level to the conductance energy level. The result is a large number of free electrons available to carry current. Thus, the two answers essentially describe the same thing.
Question 8 of 20
You can describe the structure of a typical conductor as which of the following?
a lattice of atoms
A conductor is composed of a lattice of atoms, like a tiny jungle gym in which the intersections represent atoms and the connecting rods stand in for interactive forces. A bevy of bosons would be a boon to behold, but bears no relation to a typical conductor. Thanks to Alaskan Sen. Ted Stevens, everyone knows that the Internet is a series of tubes.
a series of tubes
a bevy of bosons
Question 9 of 20
What of the following is NOT a source of resistance in a typical conductor?
The more deformed the lattice of the material is, the more likely it is that it will interfere with the free flow of electrons. The same is also true for higher temperatures, which cause the lattice and its component atoms to vibrate and oscillate faster. Cold, as a rule, decreases resistance.
Question 10 of 20
What happens to a superconductor when it is cooled to its critical temperature?
It abruptly loses all resistance.
It undergoes a phase transition.
Both are correct
As a superconductor is cooled, its resistance gradually drops until the critical temperature is reached, after which all resistance abruptly disappears. The substance has undergone a phase transition from conventional material to superconductor.
Question 11 of 20
What are Cooper pairs?
elements on the periodic tale that share the same conductance
pairings of metals that make good superconducting alloys
linked electrons that help explain superconductivity
In a superconductor, two electrons pair off to gain a net advantage when dealing with the ions that make up the material lattice. As the electron passes through the positively charged lattice, it attracts the surrounding atoms toward it. As they bunch up, these atoms create a local area of higher positive charge, which increases the force pulling the second electron forward. Consequently, the energy spent to get through, on average, breaks even.
Question 12 of 20
What is the name of the theory that explains how conventional superconductors work?
the XTC theory
the BCS theory
Superconductors were known for almost half a century before, in 1957, physicists John Bardeen, Leon N. Cooper and John Robert Schrieffer finally advanced a theory that worked. In their honor, this fundamental theory of superconductivity is generally known as the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer, or BCS, theory. In case you're wondering, XTC was a New Wave band from Swindon, England, and "The Aquitaine Progression" was a book by Robert Ludlum, but it sounded cool.
the Aquitaine Progression
Question 13 of 20
Today, superconductors that fit the BCS model are called "classical." What's the designation for superconductors that do NOT jibe with this theory?
Within a decade or two of the BCS theory being published, researchers began discovering other superconductors, such as heavy-fermion systems and high-temperature superconducting cuprates that broke the model. Today, superconductors that fit the BCS model are called "classical," while those that don't are known as "exotic." The means by which these exotic superconductors operate remains the subject of hot debate. "Strange" and "top" are designations used to describe quarks.
Question 14 of 20
Which of the following elements become superconductors at low temperatures and pressures?
selenium, silicon and uranium
aluminum, lead, mercury and tin
Hundreds of materials, including 27 metallic elements -- such as aluminum, lead, mercury and tin -- become superconductors at low temperatures and pressures. Another 11 chemical elements -- including selenium, silicon and uranium -- transition to a superconductive state at low temperatures and high pressures. The magnetic elements chromium, cobalt, iron, manganese and nickel are not superconductors.
chromium, cobalt, iron, manganese and nickel
Question 15 of 20
Most superconductors are what type of material?
alloys or compounds
The vast majority of superconductors are alloys or compounds.
metallic elements
Question 16 of 20
Which type of superconductor exhibits perfect diamagnetism in every superconducting state?
Type I
When cooled below its critical temperature, a Type I superconductor not only exhibits zero electrical resistivity, it also displays perfect diamagnetism. Type II superconductors display perfect diamagnetism while in one superconducting state but not in the other.
Type II
both of the above
Question 17 of 20
What is the vortex state?
a feedback loop in which a superconducting current collapses the superconducting state
a mixed state in which superconducting current whirls around islands of normalcy
A Type II superconductor has two critical magnetic fields. While between these two levels, it reorganizes into a mixed state -- a vortex state -- in which small whirlpools of superconducting current flow around cores of normal material.
Question 18 of 20
What year ushered in the age of high-temperature superconductors?
Until 1986, when IBM researchers Karl Alexander Müller and Johannes Georg Bednorz ushered in the age of high-temperature superconductors with a barium-lanthanum-copper oxide that achieve zero resistance at 35 K (minus 238 C, minus 397 F), the highest critical temperature achieved by a superconductor was 23 K (minus 250 C, minus 418 F).
Question 19 of 20
Which of the following has NOT been used as a coolant for superconductors?
liquid helium
liquid argon
Low-temperature superconductors required cooling by liquid helium, which is expensive and difficult to produce, but high-temperature superconductors can use liquid nitrogen, easily made from air, as coolant.
liquid nitrogen
Question 20 of 20
In 2000, Andre Geim and Sir Michael Berry won the Ig Nobel Prize for physics for doing what?
levitating a frog via diamagnetism
In 2000, Andre Geim Sir Michael Berry won the Ig Nobel Prize for physics by levitating a frog, as well as water and hazelnuts, with a superconductor, using diamagnetism. Alas, the world has yet to behold a superconducting snail, and MRI machines are far too heavy -- and large -- to effectively defenestrate.

Enjoying the food, music, and culture of Yesteryear
By Barbara Oliver
It was in the early 1990s that I came across a magazine article telling about a little town called Mountain View, nestled in the hills of Stone County, Ark. It related how life there was as if in a time capsule, not influenced by computers or traffic.
I clipped the article and filed it away. Not too long ago when I happened across the article, my interest was rekindled and we took that trip back to a mountain culture that is still pure and traditional…

Hi, all:
I hope you all had a merry Christmas and are looking forward to a New Year of RVing! Remember to keep those questions coming!
Hi, Mark,
I have a pop-up camper with electric brakes. Recently, it felt like my camper brakes weren't working right. I got home and tested the emergency brakes plug at the front of the camper. When I pulled the plug, I was able to pull the camper with the wheels turning just fine. I took it to a dealer to get it checked and fixed. They performed a diagnostic and told me the brakes were pulling 6 amps. That was all they did. I got a trailer emulator plug and checked that everything was coming from my car correctly, but I still don't think the brakes are working. What else can I do to make sure they work properly? David
Cats: To Take Camping or Not to Take
By Julee Meltzer
I have had a lot of questions over the years about whether or not to let a cat out? Whether or not to take a cat camping? How to take a cat in an RV? What if my cat gets out? Should a cat even go camping?
You get the picture; people are very unsure about taking their cats with them while traveling and camping.
Obviously the camping vs. a pet sitter at home question is a contentious one.
I can really answer this with a few words:
1) It depends upon the cat
2) Use common sense
But, my job is to write an article, so I will elaborate.....

Subspecialist offers olive branch to hospitalists
Today I would like to say thanks to a group of colleagues that too often go un-thanked.
These would be my hospital-based internal medicine friends: hospitalists are what they are called.
This idea came to me after reading Dr Robert Centor's post on KevinMD. (For the record, Dr. Centor is one of my favorite physician-masters-of-the-obvious. He writes frequently on his blog, db's Medical Rants.) In his usual concise manner, he laments the lack of respect that many sub-specialists show hospitalists.
I feel differently about my hard-working colleagues.
As a sub, sub-specialist who works primarily in the hospital, I would like to say how grateful I am to have knowledgeable, hospital-based internists available.
I believe, and write frequently about the importance of seeing the forest through the trees. A good doctor must see the big picture: a little atrial fib, for instance, isn't a major problem if you can't move, eat or have widespread cancer.
But for good patient care, the details are important too. Hospitalists are good at details. In fact, an internists' area of expertise is in using, considering and synthesizing such specifics. They mesh together a patient's history, exam, laboratory values, X-rays, and other specialists' opinions. I feel strongly that having thinkers on the case is a good thing.
What's more, as the technology of medicine expands, the sub-specialists' scope of expertise grows even more narrow. This fact only increases the value of internists.
Take this humorous story as an example of such narrowness of scope:
A nurse and I were chatting outside a patient's room in the intensive care unit. A day or so before, I had implanted a pacemaker. We overheard the patient and his wife arguing about whether I could write him a prescription for his blood pressure medicine. The patient said, "Doctor Mandrola can write me a prescription for this medicine." The wife countered, "No he can't. He isn't a real doctor; he's just the guy who put in your pacemaker." From that day on, this nurse reminds me that I am just an installer, or these days, an ablator. Barely a real doctor.
As one who hangs a lot of self-esteem on how well my patients do, I am grateful to have recently-trained, detailed oriented, conscientious hospitalists around to help me, help my patients.
And I do not begrudge them for finding a job that pays well, and ends at the end of the shift. Good on you; you are probably less likely to get AF.
Thanks, all you hospitalists!

Comments:I've tried the 3.0, 4.0, and free 5.0 without much success in the past so my expectations were pretty low when I purchased this shoe. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at how good the upper feels and natural the toe-off is (I'm an under pronator and mid-forefoot striker). I rotate these with the lunaracer, zoom elite 6, and a pair of vomero 8's and have found them to be a great shoe for running fast or slow in. My only complaint is the price which is ridiculous unless RW has them on sale, imo. I run about 60 mpw, am 5 ft 8 in and weigh about 170 lbs.
