PLoS Medicine Vol. 5, No. 10, e201 / October 7 2008
The current system of publication in biomedical research provides a distorted view of the reality of scientific data that are generated in the laboratory and clinic. This system can be studied by applying principles from the field of economics. The "winner's curse," a more general statement of publication bias, suggests that the small proportion of results chosen for publication are unrepresentative of scientists' repeated samplings of the real world.
The self-correcting mechanism in science is retarded by the extreme imbalance between the abundance of supply (the output of basic science laboratories and clinical investigations) and the increasingly limited venues for publication (journals with sufficiently high impact). This system would be expected intrinsically to lead to the misallocation of resources. The scarcity of available outlets is artificial, based on the costs of printing in an electronic age and a belief that selectivity is equivalent to quality.
Science is subject to great uncertainty: we cannot be confident now which efforts will ultimately yield worthwhile achievements. However, the current system abdicates to a small number of intermediates an authoritative prescience to anticipate a highly unpredictable future. In considering society's expectations and our own goals as scientists, we believe that there is a moral imperative to reconsider how scientific data are judged and disseminated.

Box 1. Potential Competing or Complementary Options and Solutions for Scientific Publication
- Accept the current system as having evolved to be the optimal solution to complex and competing problems.
- Promote rapid, digital publication of all articles that contain no flaws, irrespective of perceived "importance".
- Adopt preferred publication of negative over positive results; require very demanding reproducibility criteria before publishing positive results.
- Select articles for publication in highly visible venues based on the quality of study methods, their rigorous implementation, and astute interpretation, irrespective of results.
- Adopt formal post-publication downward adjustment of claims of papers published in prestigious journals.
- Modify current practice to elevate and incorporate more expansive data to accompany print articles or to be accessible in attractive formats associated with high-quality journals: combine the "magazine" and "archive" roles of journals.
- Promote critical reviews, digests, and summaries of the large amounts of biomedical data now generated.
- Offer disincentives to herding and incentives for truly independent, novel, or heuristic scientific work.
- Recognise explicitly and respond to the branding role of journal publication in career development and funding decisions.
- Modulate publication practices based on empirical research, which might address correlates of long-term successful outcomes (such as reproducibility, applicability, opening new avenues) of published papers.

More Evidence on Why We Need Radical Reform of Science Publishing / Richard Smith
PLoS Medicine invited Richard Smith, former editor of the BMJ and current board member of PLoS, to discuss an essay published this week by Neal Young, John Ioannidis and Omar Al-Ubaydli that argues that the current system of publication in biomedical research provides a distorted view of the reality of scientific data.
"For me this paper simply adds to the growing evidence and argument that we need radical reform of how we publish science. I foresee rapid publication of studies that include full datasets and the software used to manipulate them without prepublication peer review onto a large open access database that can be searched and mined. Instead of a few studies receiving disproportionate attention we will depend more on the systematic reviews that will be updated rapidly (and perhaps automatically) as new results appear."

The Economist [10-09-08] : Scientific Journals: Publish and Be Wrong
"Dr Ioannidis made a splash three years ago by arguing, quite convincingly, that most published scientific research is wrong. Now, along with Neal Young of the National Institutes of Health in Maryland and Omar Al-Ubaydli, an economist at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, he suggests why."

"Bottom line: when it comes to 'the latest studies,' take what you read with a grain of salt.
Why Most Published Research Findings Are False / John P. A. Ioannidis / PLoS Med. 2005 August; 2(8): e124 / August 30 2005
There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false. The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance.
Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias. In this essay, I discuss the implications of these problems for the conduct and interpretation of research.

Trust us, says government. Fat chance, says America
Looks like Washington is heading for another round of budget gridlock and partisan griping, this time over the size of the nation's debt limit. And that is likely to mean a further erosion of Americans' already-dismal faith in the people who run the federal government.
Americans' confidence in officials' ability to handle domestic issues reached the lowest point in recent history last month. It's a trend that shows few signs of any serious reversal anytime soon, particularly not with Republicans and Democrats in Congress, as well as President Barack Obama, primed for another down-to-the-wire duel over government money. The government is expected to exhaust its borrowing capacity Oct. 17, and there's no accord in sight on how to proceed.
Chances are the upcoming battle will add to a string of unsettling developments that have sent trust plunging in recent years. The war in Iraq didn't go as advertised. Government agencies engaged in domestic surveillance. The Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative political groups. People questioned why the Obama administration wanted military action against the Syrian regime.
Most of all, the economy collapsed and is still regarded by most people as fragile. "Economic conditions, as perceived by the public, underlie everything," said Frank Newport, editor in chief of the Gallup Poll.
Gallup's Sept. 5-8 survey found 42 percent of Americans had a great deal or fair amount of confidence in government's capability to deal with domestic matters, a percentage point below 2011's record low.
Earlier this year, the Pew Research Center found more than half thought the federal government threatened their rights and freedoms, the first time since the question was asked in 1995 that a majority felt that way.
The distrust has implications for government policy, as the disdain for all things Washington has hardened the outlook of those who question Washington's credibility and effectiveness.
As recently as the late 1990s, Republicans who wanted President Bill Clinton impeached were willing to work with Democrats on policy matters, and vice versa, said Michael Dimock, director of the Pew Research Center for the People the Press.
Today, though, "there's a starker distrust of the other side," he said. Those attitudes color controversies, so that news that embarrasses one side seems fresh confirmation that the bad guys can't be trusted.
The 2010 health care law is a prime example. In the past, said Dimock, most people accepted controversial policies and ideas a few years after they were implemented – Medicare, Social Security and so on.
But three and a half years after the health care law was enacted, Democrats and Republicans are still at odds, and the standoff shows no signs of de-escalating. A National Journal/Congressional Connection poll in September found 77 percent of Republicans wanted Obamacare repealed, while 72 percent of Democrats want it retained.
Democrats urge patience. Republicans urge blowing up the law, and the Republican-run House of Representatives has tried more than 40 times to dilute or delete Obamacare. Each effort has died in the Democratic-run Senate.
The decline in the public's trust has accelerated in recent years. In the late 1950s, despite an economic recession, three out of four people expressed trust in government. That trust began eroding as the Vietnam War dragged on and it tumbled further in the early 1970s during the Watergate crisis. The stagnant, inflation-riddled economy of the late 1970s sent the numbers even lower.
Americans did express trust in their government after the 2001 terrorist attacks. A month after the attacks, Gallup found 77 percent were confident again about government.
But the war in Iraq dragged it down again, and the financial collapse sent it plummeting.
Today, it's at dismal levels, spurred by a string of events that raised new questions about whether government has become too bloated, inert and intrusive. Those ideas have been magnified by the louder-than-ever echo chamber of cable television news, the Internet and social media, where naysayers can quickly find friends who share their zeal for railing against government.
Most influential has been the tea party movement. It grew out of CNBC's Rick Santelli's 2009 call for a "Chicago Tea Party" to protest Obama administration policies. The movement gained momentum, and was instrumental in helping Republicans gain a House majority in the 2010 elections.
It's now helping lead the fight to repeal and replace the health care law, which Tea Party Express Chairman Amy Kremer calls "the so-called Affordable Care Act."
Traditionally, Democrats have more trust than Republicans in government, but even they are growing more pessimistic about Washington. Gallup found that in 2009, the year Obama took office, three in four were confident Washington could handle domestic problems. In September, that figure had dropped to 58 percent.
They've been sobered partly by some disappointment in Obama, but also by budgetary constraints on government.
"Even if you're a fan of government, you don't see the opportunities for new programs. You don't see how they're sustainable," said John Fortier, director of the Democracy Project at the Washington-based Bipartisan Policy Center. "They see no room for anything new and exciting."
The path to restoring trust lies partly with an improved economy and partly with lawmakers who show a willingness to compromise. There is some hope: An effort to overhaul immigration laws has won some bipartisan backing, and the economy has been growing, at least on paper, for four years.
But it's going to be tough, said Fortier. "It's going to be hard when one of the parties more clearly defines itself as being against government."

Symbia T Series
IQ•SPECT is the world's first intelligent SPECT technology. With IQ•SPECT, you can receive more information from the heart in 4 minutes than you would with a conventional SPECT in 16 minutes. Its dual SMARTZOOM collimators work in tandem to track the heart and keep it in the sweet spot at all times. So the acquisition can be quick and accurate, resulting in excellent patient comfort and superb throughput.
- SMARTZOOM collimators center on the heart, collecting up to 4 times1 more counts than parallel hole collimators. These collimators magnify the heart while still capturing counts from the entire body, so truncation is virtually eliminated.
- IQ•SPECT's cardio-centric orbit is centered on the heart instead of the gantry's mechanical center. This ensures the heart is always in the SMARTZOOM collimators' magnification area.
1Competitive information is based on published literature at the time of printing; data on file.
Integrated and Automatic Collimator Changer
The Automatic Collimator Changer (ACC) provides a motorized collimator motion to the integrated collimator changer. By integrating the collimator changer into the system, Symbia eliminates the need for a collimator cart by providing a storage area underneath the patient bed for both low and medium energy collimators.
- Saves space
- Easy to use
- More time to perform other tasks
- More scheduling flexibility
Automatic Quality Control
With automated daily, weekly, and monthly quality control (QC), you can take comfort in the knowledge that QC is performed routinely and consistently. Automatic Quality Control (AQC) automatically starts the specified QC tasks so they are finished before your first scheduled patient arrives. AQC uses built-in shielded sources: A point source for peaking and tuning, a line source for extrinsic flood, and a sleeve with five slits for center of rotation and multiple head registration. The process finishes with a report of the completed QC results and integrates with SRS.
- Reliable, consistently reproducible QC
- Performance trending
- Potentially eliminate risk of spillage with open sources
- Operator dose reduction
- Remote Service Access monitoring to prevent unscheduled downtime

In addition to placing landmark restrictions on gun ownership, the gun bill working its way through the New York legislature could give gun owners new privacy rights.
After The Journal News in Westchester, N.Y. used the Freedom of Information Act to publish a map revealing the names and addresses of registered gun owners in Westchester and Rockland counties, some politicians apparently decided it was time for change.
State Sen. Greg Ball and Assemblyman Steve Katz, both Republicans, announced earlier this month they want a law making any information about handgun permits confidential.
And it seems they got their wish.
Part of the new gun law amends state public records laws to protect gun owners from being publicly identified, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.
Essentially, if the new provisions are passed, information on gun owners is exempt from public records laws that normally allow newspapers or private citizens access to certain information the government collects.
The gun control provisions passed the state Senate late Monday night and are being considered today by the Assembly.

Program Description
Students begin their study of biology at Bucknell by taking four core courses that introduce the primary areas of biological investigation with basic laboratory techniques. A wide variety of advanced classes, research opportunities, and an active seminar program complete the students' course of study.
View the specific requirements for the B.A. and B.S. degrees in Biology.
Once their core courses are completed, students are encouraged to participate in the biology department's research program in which they conduct research under the direct supervision of one of the faculty members for course credit. The research, done at a highly professional level, often results in articles that are co-authored by students and published in professional journals.
Special facilities for research at Bucknell include equipment for liquid scintillation counting, electrophoretic separation of DNA and proteins, cell culture, DNA synthesis, polymerase chain reaction, spectrophotometry, ultracentrifugation, and high performance liquid chromatography. In addition, Bucknell has a large greenhouse, containing research and demonstration areas and housing an herbarium collection of 20,000 plant species. The University also has a 65-acre Natural Area, located 12 miles from campus along the Chillisquaque Creek. Bucknell also is affiliated with the Marine Science Education Consortium (MSEC) at Duke University Marine Laboratory and with the Archbold Biological Station in Lake Placid, Florida.
Bucknell's biology faculty believes that scientists benefit from the exchange of ideas. The seminar program brings students and faculty together to discuss research in progress or to hear talks by visiting scientists. Students engaged in summer research, in the honors program, or conducting research for their master's degree present seminars as well.
The biology professors at Bucknell are teacher-scholars. Not only are they active, enthusiastic teachers; they are researchers with international reputations. They have received research grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the National Institutes on Drug Abuse, and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Of the 70 to 80 biology graduates each year, most go on to professional schools--primarily medical, but also dental, veterinary, and law. A few earn their doctorates in biology at larger institutions. Bucknell's biology program leads to a bachelor of science or a bachelor of arts degree, depending on students' needs. Graduate students may earn either a master of science or a master of arts degree in biology.

Happy ALA Award Day!
Congratulations to the winners and honorees! Hooray for all the hard work of the committees!
I'm taking a brief hiatus from my winter hiatus to make note of those authors (and one fabulous illustrator) previously featured on Cynsations who may be found among today's celebrated youth literature creators.
This blog will resume regular posting again on Feb. 1.
Congratulations to fellow Texas and Gothic fantasy author A. M. Jenkins, winner of an ALA Printz honor for Repossessed (HarperCollins, 2007)!
In an August 2007 interview at Cynsations, she said: "I spend quite a bit of time in the car because my kids have to be dropped off at different schools, so I think a lot about things like whether there's really a Satan, and what's the point of having a hell, and whether I should stop and get a Milky Way at the Texaco."
Congratulations to Tracie Vaughn Zimmer, winner of a Schneider Family Book Award (in the middle grade division) for Reaching for Sun (Bloomsbury, 2007)!
In an April 2007 interview at Cynsations, she said, "I revised a dozen times over four years for different editors and houses who would eventually consider it "too" quiet, poetic, "too" something for publication. It finally found Melanie Cecka who started to turned it down but then called my agent back because she couldn't get Josie and Gran out of her head. She gently pulled the rest of the story out of me..."
Congratulations to Pura Belpre honor author Marisa Montes and winning illustrator Yuyi Morales, both celebrated for Los Gatos Black on Halloween (Henry Holt, 2006)!
In a September 2006 interview at Cynsations, Marisa said, "In the late 1990s, my mentor, Barbara Steiner, sent me a Halloween postcard that had a fun, spooky four-line poem on the front. I pinned it up on my "inspiration" bulletin broad that hangs on the wall to the left of my computer in my office. I pin a lot of things to that board: favorite souvenirs from our travels around the world, meaningful fortune cookie fortunes, motivational blurbs on bookmarks, comics, postcards, special photos. I'd had the Halloween postcard up for a couple of years, and I'd reread the poem periodically. I really like the meter, the bu-bump, bu-bump, bu-bump rhythm of it. And it spoke of pumpkins and witches and black cats--all the Halloween things I'm so fond of.
"One day, when I was sniffing around for inspiration, I reread the poem."
In a September 2006 interview at Cynsations, Yuyi said, "...I did quite some research for clothing, because I wanted to bring to my work a taste of colonial Mexico. Many of the dead in the book come out their graves after hundreds of years and still wearing the clothes that distinguished such a controversial period."
Cynsational Notes

Hello everyone,
I've decided to buy a surfboard that I could use for both kiteing and paddle surfing. Due to the shape and size I like the Wainman Hawaii Passport 5'8 and the Firewire Hellfire 5'6 but havent had the chance to try them out.
If anyone has ridden these surfboards I'd love to hear you're comments; or if you have an alternative surfboard to recommend do let me know.

The Raiders requested permission to talk to New York Jets defensive backs coach Dennis Thurman about the vacant defensive coordinator position but were told no, according to the Twitter account of Fox Sports' Jay Glazer.
(Yes, I'm pretty sure this is the real Jay Glazer, unlike the erroneous information I passed along Wednesday).
Thurman was on the Baltimore Ravens' staff with Hue Jackson before joining the New York Jets in 2009 and also worked with Jackson for a year on the USC staff in 2000.
Teams can deny permission to speak to coaches even in the case of a promotion unless it is for a head coaching job.

WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 23, 2013) - Snipp Interactive Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SPN) (www.snipp.com), an international provider of mobile technology solutions (Trading Symbol SPN), will soon join forces with Meredith Corporation's Midwest Living magazine. Beginning spring 2013, the national magazine will use Snipp's Mobile Site Builder Solution to create mobile reader response cards, a modern alternative to the traditional mail-based cards.
Starting with the March/April 2013 issue (on sale March 5, 2013), the new annual program will provide participating advertisers with elegant, customized mobile websites in addition to ads placed in the magazine. The mobile websites will feature a variety of different actions readers may wish to undertake when engaging with the advertiser, including: requesting additional collateral by mail or email; contacting the advertiser directly; special deals and offers; interacting with their social media pages; and watching a video or connecting to the advertiser's website.
Readers interested in getting more information from a particular advertiser no longer have to fill out lengthy paper-based forms, send them in by mail, and then wait six to eight weeks for a response. Instead, they can simply visit the advertiser's customized mobile website to get the information they want. For example, using the mobile website, readers would have the option of sending their email address and immediately receive a digital version of the advertiser's brochure.
In addition to being more convenient for readers, the solution allows advertisers to convert the leads much faster and more effectively.

HANOI - Vietnam has withdrawn as the host of the 2019 Asian Games, saying it lacked funds and its reputation could be at risk if the event flops.
The government's initial decision to host the games had generated little excitement domestically, and there had been increasing opposition in the media and on blogs. Many questioned whether the cost — in the hundreds of millions of dollars — was worth it, given the country was still struggling to emerge from the global financial crisis.
The Olympic Council of Asia on Friday said it was "surprised" by the decision, which leaves it scrambling to find a new host.
"The matter will have to be discussed at length by the OCA," Randhir Singh, the group's secretary-general, said. "It's a decision which has to be taken judiciously considering various factors. We have to decide who will be able to deliver, keeping in mind the time factor."
Vietnam's sports ministry had budgeted $150 million for the event, the largest in terms of participant numbers outside of the Summer Olympics. But economists and others had said the bill could be five times higher, and possibly reach the spending levels for this year's Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea, which could reportedly top $1 billion.
Vietnam's authoritarian government is highly adverse to domestic criticism, and an explosion in Internet use in recent years has given its opponents many hard-to-control avenues to express opposition. As Russia found during the Winter Games, hosting a major event also brings international and social media scrutiny, something Vietnam's secretive leaders generally seek to avoid.
"Hosting this could help us promote the country's image and position. However if the hosting is not properly and successfully prepared, it will have the opposite effect," the government said in a statement late Thursday. "The state budget is limited and must be prioritized for other immediate tasks."
Singh said the Vietnam government had yet to inform the OCA of its decision. So unexpected was the announcement that the OCA website still had Hanoi scheduled as the 2019 host early Friday, with a video promoting the event.
While the OCA will have to quickly decide on a replacement host, it does have the benefit of an extra year as Hanoi was to have been the first games of a new schedule that would place the event the year ahead of the Summer Olympics.
Surabaya, Indonesia, had been the other serious bidder for 2019, while Dubai, United Arab Emirates, expressed initial interest but withdrew.
Vietnam's top sprinter, Vu Thi Huong, was personally disappointed but she supported the decision.
"Like all Vietnamese, I would like friends from other countries to come to Vietnam to see the country with their own eyes, but once they come they should have a good impression of Vietnam," said Huong who won five gold medals at the Southeast Asian Games and silver and bronze medals at the Asian Games. "As an athlete I would have loved to have the Asian Games in Vietnam, but our current conditions do not allow that."
Vietnam's state-controlled media praised the move.
"A decision that wins the heart of the people," was the front page headline of the widely read Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper.
But Hoang Vinh Giang, deputy chairman of Vietnam Olympic Committee, was unhappy.
"It's very regretted that Vietnam has withdrawn from hosting the games," Giang said. "This is a very good opportunity. I don't know when Vietnam will have another chance to host."
The Asian Games features events similar to the Summer Olympics but also include sports popular in Asia. More than 40 nations take part.

What does this…
Have in common with this?
They're both baked in this interesting pan.
Our New England hotdog bun pan bakes those classic "whitewall" buns – you know, the kind Howard Johnson's used to spread with butter, slap on the grill, and fill with fried clams or a grilled hotdog.
But that's not all this pan does. As we discovered this week, it also makes cake buns – perfect for filling with fruit and whipped cream, or ice cream and sauce, or… name your favorite sweet indulgence.
OK, we can't have dessert till after supper. So let's hop right into a recipe for New England Hotdog Buns.
Put the following in a mixing bowl:
3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons instant yeast
2 tablespoons sugar or non-diastatic malt powder
1/4 cup Baker's Special Dry Milk or nonfat dry milk
1/4 cup (1 1/2 ounces) potato flour or 2/3 cup instant mashed potato flakes
2 tablespoons King Arthur Cake Enhancer, optional, for enhanced freshness
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
So what's that white powder in the picture? Our new Cake Enhancer, which we've recently discovered not only makes cakes moist and tender – it does the same thing for soft buns and breads.
Add the following to the dry ingredients:
2 tablespoons soft butter
1 large egg
7/8 cup to 1 1/8 cups lukewarm water*
*Use the greater amount in winter or in a dry climate; the lesser amount in summer or a humid climate. At this time of year (early summer), you'd probably want to start with 7/8 cup, increasing to 1 cup if the dough seems too stiff and dry.
Beat till the ingredients come together to form a rough dough.
Then knead to make a soft, smooth dough.
I used 1 cup of water here; in retrospect, I should have used 7/8 cup.
But that's OK; I'll just scrape the sticky dough off the sides of the bowl, knead it a bit more…
And Bob's your uncle! A nice, smooth dough.
(But I still should have gone with the 7/8 cup water, at this time of the year…)
Into my handy-dandy measuring cup, so I can track the dough as it rises…
…and 90 minutes later, shazam! Look at that dough go!
Next, grease your hotdog bun pan.
Gently deflate the dough, and press it into the pan. You probably won't be able to press it all the way to the ends; that's OK.
Cover the pan, and walk away.
Fifteen minutes later, come back. You'll be able to press the dough right to the ends easily.
How come? Because you've given the gluten a chance to relax.
Now, how much are we going to let this dough rise, to ensure the buns fill the pan, yet don't overflow?
Our goal is to let the dough rise till it's about 1/2" from the rim of the pan.
Cover the pan with lightly greased plastic wrap, and let the dough rise for 45 to 60 minutes.
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F.
Whoops – let it go a bit too long. Well, let's see what happens.
Grease a baking sheet, one that's large enough to cover the hotdog bun pan. A half-sheet pan works well.
Put the pan over the hotdog bun pan, to provide a roof for the rising buns. Weigh it down with something oven-safe and heavy – like the cast-iron skillet I've used here.
Bake the buns for 18 minutes.
Remove the weight and pan. Nice! Notice on the right, how the buns have risen a tiny bit over the rim of the pan. Better they should have stayed level, but this isn't a deal-breaker…
Test the interior of the buns with an instant-read thermometer; they should be at least 190°F. If not, bake a bit longer.
Remove the buns from the oven…
…and turn them out onto a rack.
Allow them to cool completely.
Now, pay attention, class. You're going to slice each bun down the center, but not all the way.
Leave a "hinge" at the bottom.
Next, slice into individual buns. See how this works? You're getting the picture here, right?
Buns, ready to butter and grill!
Like this. Perfect for hotdogs, chicken salad… or our New England favorite, lobster salad.
So, why didn't I photograph lobster salad in the bun? King Arthur is an employee-owned company; we watch our spending VERY carefully, and prop lobster was too expensive. Use your imagination, OK?
Next up: cake buns!
So, I'm thinking I should choose a cake recipe that's good for a 9" x 13" pan – but not one that's going to fill the pan too full.
I measure the hotdog bun pan – 5 cups of cake batter would be perfect.
I make the batter for my favorite fudge cake, and measure it – holy mackerel, 5 cups exactly!
Pour it into the greased pan. Put it in a preheated 350°F oven.
Bake for 33 minutes.
Ah, perfect!
Cool; slice into "buns."
Add a sliced banana, whipped cream, jimmies, and a cherry (of course).
Trust me, I had to fend off my test kitchen colleagues, customer service reps, and anyone who catches a glimpse of these "portable banana splits" on their way to being photographed!
Read, rate, and review (please) our recipe for New England Hotdog Buns.
P.S. Can you bake these buns without this pan? No, not exactly. But you can certainly divide the dough into 10 pieces, shape them into logs, let rise, and bake, for traditional side-split hotdog buns. OR – try in a 9" x 13" pan, with a weighted pan on top.
Hey, this just in: MJ tested our gluten-free bread mix in the hotdog bun pan (photo above). Score! Betting our GF sandwich bread recipe would work, too…

Luzerne County officials are reconsidering a plan to outsource the supervision of foster care and kinship care to private providers after hearing objections from two state representatives and a Children and Youth Services supervisor.
State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston, and state Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Township, are expected to address county council on Tuesday.
"I feel very strongly about doing everything I can to prevent this very bad idea," Mundy said Thursday.
The county Children and Youth agency has initiated a plan to eliminate the in-house units that supervise foster care and kinship care and would outsource all foster-care and kinship-care supervision to private providers.
The change would impact about 70 foster families and more than 200 children in the foster care and kinship care, officials said. Kinship care is a program in which a child lives with a relative because of separation from parents.
"I am already hearing that foster families are very unhappy and unwilling to continue providing care under these new conditions," Mundy wrote in a Nov. 17 email to county council members.
The county already forced foster parents supervised in-house to choose a private provider for supervision, Mundy said, adding they had a choice of nine or 10 private providers. In 2010, then-Gov. Ed Rendell signed legislation authored by Mundy to create uniform standards to protect foster children's rights.
Toohil's parents have been foster parents for more than 40 children. She wrote a Nov. 13 email to Councilman Rick Morelli.
"The administrative changes, which include staff cuts and the use of private entities for services, are problematic for a number of reasons and will prove to be more costly for us, as a county," Toohil wrote. "I would like to discuss the various changes that are being effectuated with the council in the hopes that some of these proposed cuts will be restored."
County Manager Robert Lawton has proposed a 2013 budget that would allocate $260.1 million. The Children and Youth allocation is $42.4 million, $1.5 million less than the agency's request and $1.8 million less than this year's allocation.
During a council meeting on Nov. 14, Councilman Rick Williams questioned acting Director of Human Services Mary Dysleski about outsourcing foster-care supervision. Dysleski said foster-care and kinship-care supervision are not mandated services.
"We provided them before because it was nice for the county to have some control over that," she said. "We seemed to get better results if we had control over the foster-care and the kinship-care types of programs. But again with reduced funding and having to provide our resources to provide the mandated services, sometimes those are the services that we had to let go."
Williams asked: "Are we really saving money by going to contracted services, as opposed to using employees?"
"We are not sure yet," Dysleski replied. "We think there will be a savings. We haven't done this. We are going to see how it works out, but yes, we do think there will be a small savings."
During Monday's council meeting, Children and Youth supervisor Judy Newman claimed outsourcing will increase costs for the county, noting the state reimburses 80 percent of costs.
According to this year's budget, the net cost of the Children and Youth agency is $6.2 million in county general funds. The agency request for 2013 had a net cost of $6.6 million, and the net cost is $6 million in Lawton's 2013 budget.
Council plans to adopt a final budget Dec. 11, and Lawton wants to keep the county property tax rate at 5.32 mills - $532 for $100,000 in assessed value. The proposed budget would eliminate funding for 17 vacant caseworker jobs in Children and Youth.
Castano explained to council Nov. 14 why he wants to eliminate the in-house units for foster care and kinship care.
"I have used a strategy to reduce caseload sizes intentionally because I am of the strong opinion that that ensures safety, and that's my primary responsibility," Castano said. "So we are now contracting for those services in foster care, reallocating that staff to intake and outgoing positions, which are essential to mandated services for the agency."
He added he "had meetings with the private provider network" and "discussed that transition" with affected employees.
"Change isn't easy, but they have all been cooperative, and we believe we can make that change," Castano said.
This year's budget allocated almost $12.3 million in wages and benefits for Children and Youth employees. The agency requested $12.4 million for wages and benefits in 2013, and Lawton proposed $11.5 million.

General Guidelines
New Medical Action Plans (MAPs) are required every school year for medical treatment at school, as they expire on the school building's last day of school. MAP forms for the 2019-20 school year are posted in the Files & Folders section, below. Please note that the General MAP must accompany any additional MAPs for asthma, diabetes, etc.
In compliance with Section 504 law, all MAP forms include notice of procedural safeguards.
Please note the following:
If epinephrine is ordered for emergency use at school, the school must have an emergency plan (either our MAP for Severe Allergy or a written emergency plan from the ordering physician).
If your child's food allergy is not potentially life threatening and only an antihistamine is desired (such as Benadryl®), then Form A for prescribed medication must be used so school staff have a doctor's order and directions.
Inhalers can be ordered for office use or self-carry on FORM A for prescribed medication without doing an Asthma MAP (if a MAP is completed for asthma care planning, Form A is not required).
For diabetes, please use the health care plan and orders template that your child's physician prefers. The Rochester Community Schools MAP was designed for this purpose as a quick reference for treating high and low blood sugars and follows the other MAP formats for speed of use. Routine care may require a more involved plan for each individual student. If you would like to submit an attachment with any additional medical information pertaining to your student, please attach to the MAP.
If medication is to be given at school routinely but is not part of a MAP order, such as Ritalin® for ADHD or Motrin® for arthritis then Form A for prescribed medication is required (even if the medication is over-the-counter).
Over-the-counter medications ordered by the parent alone are intended for occasional use only and should follow the guidelines on the reverse side of that form (Form C).
All medication must be in the original container or pharmacy prescription bottle labeled with the student's name, medication name, dosage and frequency to dispense instructions. NO EXPIRED MEDICATION will be administered.
All forms are posted below. Click on the desired condition or subject and you will find the correct form and other resource information.
PRIOR TO June 14, 2019, Please return the MAP in a sealed envelope, clearly labeled MAP, to the office of the school location of which your student is currently attending. Please do not submit MAPs over the summer break. AFTER August 13, 2019, forms can be submitted to the school they will be attending for the 2019-20 school year.

Speck and Gordon
Speck and Gordon
Pepsi / More Than Okay / Goodby, Silverstein, & Partners
Will Speck and Josh Gordon met at NYU film School and immediately bonded over a love for the same movies and a vague sense that the world was out to get them. They decided to work together.
The duo have directed hundreds of commercials and won top international awards for clients such as Apple, Netflix, GEICO, Playstation, Coca-Cola, Levi's and Audi and with respected agencies Droga5, BBDO, TBWA\Chiat\Day and BBH, to name a few. In collaboration with The Martin Agency, they developed and helmed a film for Donate Life, "The World's Biggest Asshole," which stars Thomas Jane and Will Arnett. This social impact campaign earned ten Lions at Cannes 2017, including three Golds. Will and Josh spoke on the main stage at the Palais about bravery in advertising, and what it took to create a viral hit that boosted organ donation by 125%.
Speck and Gordon give voice to the underdog, a theme which also threads through their feature films, which include "Blades of Glory," "The Switch," and "Office Christmas Party." They have worked with a host of talented people, including Harvey Keitel, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, TJ Miller, and Kate McKinnon.

West Texas A&M University's beloved mascot, Thunder 11 will soon have a new home if fund-raising efforts prove to be successful. Providing a space for the buffalo that properly represents the majesty of the animal and the importance of the University's mascot has been a longtime dream for the WT Herdsmen and Shawn Burns, chief of the University Police Department and the Herdsmen adviser.
Land has been secured for the project with 15 acres on Valley View Road northeast of the First United Bank Center and south of the Stanley Schaeffer Agricultural Learning Lab. The site will include a small parking lot, a 40-foot by 60-foot metal building, a holding pen and shelter large enough to accommodate two animals and a turn-out area as well as a round pen for training. The building will house an indoor storage area along with a meeting room for the Herdsmen.
The new habitat is estimated to cost around $150,000. For a closer look, check out the video on this page, and to help build a new home for Thunder 11, MAKE A GIFT TODAY.

In light of the recent scandal involving false record-keeping and long wait lists at VA hospitals in other parts of the country, the Palo Alto VA is making efforts to encourage open dialogue about its stance on the issue, including a meeting this Thursday with local elected officials.
The meeting, though not open to the public, is an effort to put Palo Alto ahead of the curve in the Veterans Affair controversy, spokesman Michael Hill-Jackson said.
"A lot of vets are concerned, of course, but not all VA's are the same," he said. "That's the message were trying to get out there: 'If you're in Palo Alto, you're OK.'"
A 35-page independent report conducted by the VA's inspector general released May 28 found that 1,700 veterans using a Phoenix VA hospital were kept on unofficial, secret wait lists, a practice that helped staff hoping to cover up delays in treatment of patients. The report drew from reports of 226 veterans who had sought appointments at the hospital in 2013, finding that 84 percent had to wait more than two weeks to be seen. At least 40 veterans died waiting for appointments in Phoenix, according to CNN.
Though the report focused on evidence from the Phoenix hospital, it called the practices a "systemic problem nationwide." Similar allegations have emerged at other VA hospitals across the country, with 42 centers now under investigation for falsifying wait records.
As of April, the Palo Alto VA is four days shy of the 14-day national metric for new patients seeking primary care, with an 18-day average, Hill-Jackson said. For mental health patients, the average wait in Palo Alto is one week. Hill-Jackson said these numbers are updated on a monthly basis.
For established patients, Palo Alto accommodates appointments within five to six days, Hill-Jackson said -- though wait-time count for new patients starts from the date the scheduler makes the appointment, while the wait-time count for established patients starts from the date for which the patient requests the appointment.
U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, condemned what she called "longstanding and widespread" failure within the Veterans Administration but said the Palo Alto VA's high level of service and access should serve as an example for the agency moving forward.
"This longstanding and widespread failure is inexcusable, and, in response, I've voted for legislation in the House to address the mismanagement at the Veterans Administration -- to bring about accountability, transparency, and right this listing ship," she wrote in an email.
"I will also look to our own VA hospitals in the 18th Congressional District to lead by example. ... Veterans surveyed on their satisfaction with the Palo Alto VA consistently score it above the national average for all VA medical centers and in the top 25 percent in the region for access to outpatient care. More VA systems should be striving for this level of excellence."
A staff member from Eshoo's office will attend the Thursday meeting in Palo Alto.
The VA Palo Alto Health Care System consists of three inpatient facilities located at Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Livermore, plus seven outpatient clinics in San Jose, Fremont, Capitola, Monterey, Stockton, Modesto and Sonora.

Some nights ago I was heading to a local theater with some (non-nerd) friends. We did not recall very well the address, so I brought out my phone (LG Nexus 4 with Android 4.4.2 and Google Chrome) and googled for it. I found the theater's official site and started looking for the contact info, when Chrome suddenly opened a popup window pointing me to a Russian web site (novostivkontakte.ru) urging me to update my Flash Player. I laughed loudly and showed them to my (again, totally non-nerd) friends saying that the site had been owned. One of them went on and opened the site with her own phone (Samsung Galaxy S Advance with Android 4.4.1 and the default Android WebKit browser). To make a long story short, after a few instants her phone was downloading a file without even asking her for confirmation. So: Chrome on my Nexus 4 was using social engineering to have me click on a link and manually download the file; Android's WebKit on her Galaxy S Advance was instead downloading the file straight away: interesting! However, we were a bit late and we had to run for the comedy, so I did not even bother to see what the heck she had downloaded, I only made sure she hadn't opened it. I thought it was just the usual exploit kit trying to infect PCs by serving fake Flash Player updates, seen tons of those. While waiting for the comedy to begin, I quickly submitted the compromised site to three different services, the first three ones that came to my mind: HoneyProxy Client, Wepawet and Unmask Parasites, then turned off my phone and enjoyed the show.

From dreams to championship rings: CSB dance team brings home trophy
January 29, 2014
Editor's note: The CSB dance team successfully defended its national championship Jan. 19 in the Open Class Pom Division at the 2014 Universal Dance Association (UDA) College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championship at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla. CSB senior Molly Reger, a captain of the football performance dance team, accompanied the competition team and wrote this reflection.

Orlando, Fla., is the home of Cinderella's castle and the place where dreams come true, especially the dreams of the Saint Ben's dance team.
As team members boarded the plane to head for the competition, they hoped to defend their 2013 national championship title and bring home another trophy. As a captain of the football performance team, I was privileged to travel with the competition team to college nationals.
For me, college nationals is sensory overload. There are dancers spinning and cheerleaders flipping in every direction. Listen closely and you hear the sounds of faint chants and the repeated counts of "5,6,7,8." The air is filled with the scent of hairspray and the intensity of fierce competition.
At the preliminary competition, one of our dancers told me something that put the competition into perspective. In recent years a California team from Orange Coast College has been notorious for taking home the Open Pom title each year. This year, Taylor Berry, CSB sophomore, told me, "It's a weird feeling having OCC look at us and feel intimidated. Before last year we were never on their radar."
Last year, CSB was new to the Pom Division; this year they were the team to watch.
When the team captains, CSB junior Tori Grootwassink and senior Kelsey Novak, revealed the scores from the preliminary competition, CSB was seeded No. 1 in the Pom Division heading into finals. The team was ecstatic, but Novak and Grootwassink were quick to keep the women grounded, informing them that scores were close and competition was fierce.
When the women took the stage for their final performance it was clear that they were in it for each other. They were a team. Every hour of practice and preparation came down to just two minutes on stage. The women graced the stage with confidence, poise and energy. Their passion convinced the audience that these women were fighting for their title.
Although these women will soon have flashy championship rings to display, their work ethic and humble nature will not be forgotten.

text: Mazda's and Mercedes-Benz's latest offerings that are neither SUV nor minivan aren't flying off dealers' lots, but they're worth a look. By Mark Solheim, Editor May 19, 2006 With hundreds of new models to choose from, every new-car shopper should be able to find a perfect match. Carmakers are doing their part by designing vehicles for ever-narrower niches.For the 2006 model year, two new, segment-busting vehicles are worth noting. In a way, they share a niche because they both seat six, and they're both quick to deflect the minivan and SUV labels. In terms of sales, both have been a little slow to gain momentum. But that's where the similarities end. Mazda's euro-van What is the Mazda5? It's short but tall. It has third-row bucket seats. There are no hinges on the rear doors; they slide open. It looks a little out of place on American roadways, but the rest of the world is no stranger to this type of vehicle -- in fact, the Mazda5 was sold in Europe before it came to the States. So is this a mini minivan? Maybe. Mazda, of course, has its own label: a multi-activity vehicle. EPA classifies it as a station wagon. Whatever you call it, it's a nice alternative to the minivan and the SUV. It's affordable, practical, fuel-efficient and roomy, yet small enough to take downtown. Advertisement Sticker price starts at $17,995 (including destination charge) for the Sport model. You pay $19,510 for the Touring model, which includes such standard equipment as a moonroof, six-disc CD changer and second-row fold-out table and cargo bin. Six airbags are standard in both models. Electronic stability control, which helps prevent skids, isn't available. Both models pack a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine with 157 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. Although the engine could use a little more pep, the standard five-speed manual does a good job of moving the car. The four-speed automatic transmission ($900) is a little sluggish revving up to high speeds. For a vehicle four inches shorter than an Audi A4, the Mazda5 packs a lot of utility. The roof height ensures that fully grown third-row occupants won't have to duck their heads. Cargo room behind the second-row seats is a roomy 44 cubic feet. The steering wheel telescopes as well as tilts. Fuel economy beats most SUVs and minivans, too. The manual delivers 22 mpg in the city and 27 mpg highway. With the automatic, expect about 1 mpg less. Advertisement Mercedes-Benz's luxe-wagon Another import from Europe, the R-Class is just starting to catch on with luxury-car buyers. As you might expect from Mercedes, seating six in style doesn't come cheap. The R350, with a 268-hp 3.5-liter V6, starts at $48,775. The tony R500, with a 302-hp 5-liter V8, starts at $56,275. Let's get all the unpleasantness out of the way: Gas mileage is 16 mpg city/21 mpg highway for the V6. For the V8, it's an atrocious 13 city/18 highway. A fill-up at recent premium gas prices would cost nearly $80. But despite a nagging feeling of environmental guilt, I put many miles on my smooth-as-silk R500 tester. The car was "chill" with the six teenagers I had to pick up from a distant suburban party -- especially the DVD entertainment system with seatback screens. (I never mastered the iPod integration kit.) I also picked up a new living room chair, which fit nicely in the back with the third-row seats folded flat (cargo room behind the second-row seats is 42 cubic feet -- less than the Mazda5 because the roof is lower). Advertisement On the road, it's fast (the R500 goes zero to 60 in an impressive 6.5 seconds) and maneuverable, with a lower center of granity than most SUVs. Six airbags and electronic stability control are standard. My only quibble, besides potential pump shock, is the electronic shift knob on the right side of the steering column. True, it opens up space in the center column. But when a vehicle this big and bold has a Prius-like shifter, something is out of whack. The R-Class is more than two feet longer than the Mazda5 -- about the same as most minivans. That allows third-row legroom of 32 inches (about two inches more than in the Mazda5). The sense of open space is enhanced by the $2,390 panoramic sunroof. Every seat has its own reading light, armrests, air vents and cup holders.

ADELPHI, Md. (AP) — Police in Prince George's County say a standoff with an armed man inside an apartment building has ended peacefully.
The barricade situation began Monday night at a building in Adelphi. Police negotiated with the man for about 8 hours before taking him from the building in an ambulance shortly before 6 a.m. Tuesday. Police say he was alone in the apartment.
Police say they had been assisting U.S. marshals in serving a warrant when the standoff began.

Dec 05, 2013
NEW HAVEN, Conn.-The Yale men's swimming and diving team returns to action on Saturday, Dec. 7, when it will face Boston University in its final meet of 2013.
The Elis last raced at the Bucknell Invitational from Nov. 22-24. They fended off the Bucknell Bison and seven other teams to win the meet for the second consecutive year.
The Boston University Terriers took second place at an invitational that they hosted two weeks ago. Senior captain Ed Becker said that their strong performance at the meet suggests that Saturday's showdown will be close.
"We're preparing for a meet that we believe could easily come down to the last relay," Becker said.
"Regardless, it'll be a great opportunity to get one last look at where we are as a team going into the most training-intensive part of the season. The goal is always to improve on last week, so we'll look to do that at BU."
The Bulldogs last travelled to BU for the 2011 Terrier Invitational. They won the meet, and finished 88 points ahead of the Terriers with a final score of 800.
Saturday's meet will start at 1:30 p.m. at the Boston University Aquatics Center.

Today is Friday, which means that the community at Lisa-Jo's place (AKA The Gypsy Mama) are gathering together for Five Minutes on Brave.
The idea is to embrace spontaneity, and dump your words on the page. Kind of like how my kids dump all their stuff by the front door after they get home from school. There's no real rhyme or reason, and it's just a big jumbled mess.
That's the word God repeated to me as 2011 came to a close. Funnily enough, it's the word that God gave our pastor for the church too. I guess I must be hearing something right.
Relational is hard for me. Apparently it is for a lot of other people too, because being an introvert is the next cool thing to be. In the past week I've discovered blogs, books, TED talks and more that help the introvert feel okay with themselves.
Unfortunately I'm not allowed to feel okay with that side of me. The one that wants to curl up in my big green chair all day, every day and be "social" on my iPhone (yes, I have another one). There's something so appealing about sweatpants, Netflix and a warmed up cup of coffee.
But God is challenging that in me this year. Asking me to step out of those sweatpants into presentable clothing and show up. For meetings, for play dates, for hard conversations where I feel like I can't catch my breath.
And I'm doing it. And He's guiding me.
This is part of the process of changing my name. From task-oriented to relational. I think at heart I'm still an introvert, but He's helping me to see that I need others and (surprisingly) others need me.

What is VoIP?
VoIP stands for "Voice over Internet Protocol". Also known by the much classier name of "telephony", VoIP is the techie term for "making phone calls over the internet". Think of it like Skype, which is a VoIP provider. If you're old, think of it like a new version of AIM.
Why would I want to integrate VoIP with my cellphone?
A better way to phrase this question might be "Why would I NOT want to integrate VoIP with my cellphone?" Integrating a VoIP client with your cell means that you can make phone calls or send text messages from the internet when your phone is unavailable. While this may initially sound boring, think of the possibilities! With VoIP calling, you can set up an old cellphone to be your "landline" and ring whenever your cellphone rings so that you don't have to frantically dig through your giant purse in the other room (or, if you're a guy, your nasty couch cushions) every time you hear something vibrate. [Note: if this sounds cool but you don't want to integrate it with your cellphone, these instructions can also be used to set up a free landline at absolutely no cost to you.] If your phone dies while you are out, you can have your calls and texts forwarded to your boyfriend/friend/mom/sister/wife who is sitting right next to you. If you leave your phone in your car at that super awesome place you sort of remember from last night, you can still order pizza from your apartment the next morning. You can coordinate your weekend plans on Friday at work in the window next to that awesome spreadsheet you're supposedly working on. When going on that sweet, sweet weekend trip you planned, if you discover that you have absolutely no service anywhere near the hotel then you can have your calls forwarded to your room. Interested?
Fine. What supplies do I need?
You will need:
A cellphone.
A cellphone number.
A computer.
A Google account.
Optional materials:
An old smartphone, jailbroken if necessary*, with charger.
*It is necessary to jailbreak the phone if you can't get onto the internet and download things (like apps) when it is turned on. For instructions on how to jailbreak an iPhone, click here. For instructions on how to jailbreak other phones, Google it. If you don't know how to use Google, it's not going to work out between us. Go back to your solitaire game.)
Instructions on setting up a FREE VoIP account:
- Create a Google account if you don't have one already (which you should).
- Go to google.com/voice and set up your account. You will need to verify that the phone number you put in is actually yours, so make sure your cell is handy.
- Download the Google Voice
app onto your smartphone and log in. If you have a dumbphone and can't download
apps, don't worry—you can still check your texts/make calls from your computer.
But you should really think about stepping into the 21st century.
Voilá! You are done. Easy enough. Google Voice does not charge for calls directed anywhere in the US or Canada. I do not personally call my millions of European friends all that often, so if you do, check the rates before you use this service. You may now set up Google Voice to be your client for text messages and phone calls from your cell, which will eliminate overages for minutes used and texts sent. That's right, you will now be using data only, which will allow those who are on shared or limited plans to shave a few dollars off of your phone bills or even downgrade your monthly limits.
To Check Text Messages from a Computer:
You will need to have this window open:
All of your text messages will show up here. Reloading the window may be necessary depending on your browser.
To Make a Call from a Computer:
You will need to have this window open:
gmail.com (which will redirect you to mail.google.com, gmail.com is just easier to type)
· If you have an android phone, your contacts will already be saved in your Google account.
· If you have an iPhone, see these instructions on how to upload your contacts. (It's easy.)
· If you have another phone, Google it.
When your contacts have been uploaded, look at the left hand column (under the big red "Compose" button). You will see a search window under the "Chat" heading. Type in the person (or number) you want to call. A dialer will pop up in the lower right corner of the window. This dialer pops out (see the weird diagonal arrow icon?), and if you leave this window open on your computer, it will alert you to incoming calls and allow you to make outgoing calls.
A free Google Voice client (think the Skype app, but not the Skype app) or browser extension (an alert button directly on your internet browser) can also help you to make calls and receive texts on your computer.
For Mac: Voice Mac (open-source)
For Windows: GVMax (also integrates with Twitter), GVNotifier
For Google Chrome: Google Voice Extension (my personal favorite because it's unobtrusive and has a neat little Monty Python-ish "ping!")
Setting Up Your "Landline"
This is the part where you get to use that useless old smartphone that has been sitting in a drawer, just-in-case you drop your new phone into a bucket of Red Bull and your carrier doesn't convince you to buy a new one at the "super-secret" discount they've just been authorized to give you [Note: They are already authorized to give you a certain percentage off of a phone, you just have to ask for it and be a generally nice person].
All you have to do is connect your old phone to your wireless network and download the Google Voice mobile app, available in the App Store for your iPhone and the Google Play store for your Android. (If you have a different phone, you're on your own here. There are ways to download a file with an .apk extension and install the app on your phone but that is way too in-depth for this post.) Leave it running in the background (i.e, open it and then close the app window without actually exiting the app). I plug my phone in a corner of my living room and leave the volume turned down. Then when I am busy binging on Mad Men and hear my cell phone ring across the house, I just pick up the conveniently located phone that is charging next to the couch. Keeping the volume turned down helps my boyfriend retain his sanity when I am not around and my phone is ringing off the hook (sadly, this does not happen due to my profound popularity, but because I have an aversion to paying parking tickets and library fines).
Forwarding Calls
Head to google.com/voice and hit the button on the right that looks like a Spacely Sprocket. Click settings from the dropdown menu. You may now add as many phone numbers as you want to your account. This will forward all of your calls and texts to these numbers. You need to have the forwarding phone in front of you in order to set it up because you'll have to enter a code to verify it, but after that forwarding to any number can be turned on/off from this website by checking or unchecking the little box next to that particular number.
Other Fun Facts About Google Voice
- 1. Do Not Disturb is a terrific feature, which sends all of your calls to voicemail and turns all SMS notifications off on all of your phones/clients/extensions/etc. Very useful for getting things done. This can be toggled off/on in your account settings under the "Calls" tab.
- 2. Email Alerts: You can set up (or turn off) emailed alerts under Settings under the "Voicemail & Text" tab. The alerts will send you transcriptions of voicemails, which is convenient if you're at work but not so much when you already get emails on your phone.
- 3. Call Screening: Also in settings under the "Calls" tab, this feature announces the caller before you pick up the phone. If you're using your Google Voice line as a business line that is separate from your personal line, this can be good, but keep in mind that you will have to press "1" before picking up Every. Single. Phone call.
- 4. Spam Filtering: Numbers identified by Google as "Spam" will be sent directly to voicemail, and these messages will be stored in a separate folder in your account. You can personally mark numbers as Spam (your loony ex, for example, or your nasty neighbor who goes to bed at 8pm) and then you will not have to deal with these people. Blocking numbers is awesome too, because they hear a message that your line has been disconnected and then (ideally) stop trying to contact you.
- 5. If you really want to get crazy with this, you can set up different greetings based on the groups your contacts belong to. For instance, you could have a super-professional voicemail for all of your work numbers and unknown numbers, but your college buddies can get the classic, "…Hello?" voicemail that is oh-so-amusing after hearing it for the thousandth time. You can also set up different calls to forward to different numbers so that when a coworker calls over the weekend, it gets sent directly to voicemail, or so that the chick you're seeing on the side doesn't get forwarded to your girlfriend's phone while yours is MIA. If you're like that.
- 6. Call Widgets: Under the super-sneaky "Call Widgets" tab is the option to add a link on your webpage so that other Google Voice callers can contact you WITHOUT KNOWING YOUR NUMBER. This is great for people who do the whole freelance thing, so that your personal phone number isn't up all over the internet but first-time clients can get in touch with you directly.
