2014 Concurrent Morning Strands
Wednesday, June 25 – Friday, June 27
9 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.
Strand I - Cerebrodiversity and Learning
This 3-morning strand is designed to provide participants with an understanding of the neuroscience involved in the learning process. Insights into how to brain works and how students process information can offer educators a new lens and a scientific basis for best practices in teaching. By engaging in hands-on activities to recognize the neural processes underlying cognition and perception, participants will learn effective, brain-based strategies to motivate student learning.
Presenters will first provide an overview of the brain's anatomy and discuss:
- Neuronal structure and the contribution of neural networks and neurotransmitters in the information processing system
- Brain regions involved in attention, language and memory processing
- Executive functions and how they are impacted by the development of the prefrontal cortex
The second part of this strand will then discuss the intersection of neuroscience and education. Presenters will make connections between current findings on the neuroscience of dyslexia, ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and instructional practices that support cerebrodiversity. Topics will focus on:
- The role of the brain's "emotional filter" in student learning
- Increasing student participation and maximizing learning from mistakes
- Sustaining student focus
- Promoting information transport to the reflective brain instead of the reactive brain
Strand II - Executive Function Coaching: Helping Students Increase Motivation, Decrease Stress, and Get Things Done
Many students struggle in school, not because the work is too hard, but because of the executive function challenges they face when trying to juggle academics, social life, athletics, and jobs. Executive function (EF) refers to the cognitive processes that allow us to organize thoughts and activities, prioritize tasks, make decisions, and take action. Students who receive one-on-one executive function coaching often experience increased motivation and decreased stress around academics, and over time, develop greater ability to independently manage their lives at school.
Participants in this highly interactive 3-morning strand will deepen their understanding of EF and its impact on student success and will practice using a model of executive function coaching that provides a practical approach, strategies, and tools for one-on-one support for students who struggle with EF challenges due to increased academic demand, ADHD, or ASD.
Practice sessions will introduce participants to specific ways of supporting students around
- Initiating and completing work
- Staying motivated
- Dealing with stress
Strand III - Ubiquitous Technology: Using Tablet-Based Apps to Support Students who Learn Differently
Apps are ubiquitous, prolific, can be installed in seconds and accessed anyplace anytime. Several technologies that were once thought of as assistive technologies (such as speech-to-text and text-to-speech) have now moved into the mainstream. However, access to technology alone is not enough to ensure learning; students need to employ apps strategically to take advantage of what these technologies have to offer. This workshop will provide training on evidence-based pedagogical practices and study skills that have proven effective for students with learning differences. Participants will learn how to implement time tested Landmark College approaches to supporting students who learn differently using the latest apps.
This 3-morning strand will open with an overview of pedagogical principles and best practices for tablet-based classrooms in a Universal Design framework, as well as guidance on selecting and managing apps that support active learning. One morning session will offer hands-on exploration and practice with a variety of apps for students, including tools for
- Mind mapping for writing and organization
- Note taking
- Test preparation
A second session will focus on instructor tools for supporting
- Student collaboration
- Strategic engagement
- Guided practice with feedback
Participants should plan to bring their own ipads or tablet devices. (A limited number of devices may be available to borrow during these sessions.)

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced proposed rules implementing State plan home and community-based services under Section 1915(i) of the Social Security Act. The proposed regulations are
online. This is a proposed rule which means that it is open for comments until July 2, 2012 (the Federal Register notice which contains the rules, incorrectly lists the due date for comments as June 4, 2012). Once the comments are reviewed CMS will likely issue a final regulation which means that this is the only chance to influence this important regulation.
These rules outline how the 1915(i) programs must be operated in states that choose to implement them. In addition, these rules describe the type of residential settings that will be considered appropriate for Medicaid-funded delivery of services through 1915(i) plans and the Community First Choice (CFC) option. CMS has indicated that it intends to apply these rules regarding settings to all Medicaid HCBS programs, including Medicaid 1915(c) HCBS Waivers, so that it has the potential for impact beyond the scope of the 1915(i) and CFC rules.
CMS has stated that they are very interested in hearing from the people who will be impacted most by these regulations – older adults and people with disabilities who use Medicaid-funded services and supports in the community. ACL has put together the following tips to help older adults, people with disabilities, their families, and other consumer advocates navigate the rulemaking process and make their voices heard. More information about the rulemaking process can also be found online.
CMS is inviting public comments on proposed language to establish the qualities for home and community-based settings. CMS is specifically looking for feedback regarding several areas as outlined below:
The Federal Register posting for this proposal is very long, and contains pages of discussion by CMS regarding the previous public comments they received and an explanation of the changes that they are proposing. The actual proposed rule language is included at the end of the document, which you can
view here.
Stakeholders may submit comments via Regulations.gov or in writing to CMS at the following address:

Moderated by Rick Badie
Roswell recently decided to ditch its red-light cameras because, officials said, they didn't prevent crashes. Other towns have grappled with their cost-effectiveness, as expenses can run tens of thousands of dollars. Today, a traffic expert says the cameras' worth outweighs operating costs. Alpharetta's public safety director explains how their program costs are kept low.
Cameras didn't help, mayor says
By Jere Wood
The Roswell City Council recently discontinued camera enforcement of red-light violations because traffic accident records did not show any reduction in the number of accidents after red-light cameras were installed.
When the state authorized red-light cameras, we were advised this technology had proven to be effective in reducing accidents and serious injuries in other jurisdictions. Relying on this advice, we installed red-light cameras at two intersections. After the red-light cameras were installed, the rate of red-light-running violations dropped by half, but the number of accidents generally remained the same.
Roswell did not initiate red-light camera enforcement to raise revenues or discontinue red-light camera enforcement because of falling revenues. We spend millions of dollars every year to keep our streets safe and would have continued red-light camera enforcement if it had made our streets safer.
For the four years that Roswell had red-light cameras, we prosecuted red-light camera cases only when violations were blatant, and we never received any complaints about improper or unauthorized use of red-light camera photographs.
Roswell will continue to monitor traffic accidents resulting from running red lights and other causes. If the number of accidents goes up after we remove the red-light cameras, we will consider their re-installation. Where new technology is effective in making Roswell streets safer, we will continue to adopt it.
Jere Wood is mayor of Roswell.
Red-light cameras make roads safer
By Gary George
I am an avid proponent of photo red-light camera systems and feel strongly that many lives have been saved by using this technology.
I have seen many changes in technology within the enforcement profession. With these changes, the law enforcement occupation has embraced technology designed to help serve and protect the public. A red-light camera system is an example of how we use current technology in a positive way to protect the public by reducing pedestrian and driver fatalities.
Red-light camera systems seem to garner continual attention because a portion of the general public believes the systems are in place to serve as a revenue stream for government. In Alpharetta, the primary purpose of the installation and continual use of red-light cameras is to positively change driver behaviors, which directly leads to a reduction of traffic crashes, fatalities, injuries and property damage. We have seven intersections that are monitored by a total of 15 red-light cameras.
In Alpharetta, the red-light camera systems are not used as a revenue source. In 2009, we changed the contractual agreement regarding our camera system. We pay the company that installed our cameras (American Traffic Solutions) a monthly amount equal to the primary fines collected for each particular month. The benefit from this arrangement is the city never pays any additional fees for the continual use of the cameras. Repairs, upgrades and annual maintenance are paid by the vendor and require no city taxpayer expenditures. It's not about the money; it's about changing driver behaviors and saving lives.
I believe our red-light cameras have changed driver behaviors in a number of ways. The cameras are placed at high-traffic-volume intersections. The cameras' purpose is to be a deterrent for those who ignore traffic signals. Basically, two types of accidents occur at intersections — rear-end accidents and angle accidents. The rear-end accidents are usually caused by a motorist attempting to beat the signal.
Traffic light camera programs greatly reduce the angle accidents from someone running a traffic signal from an intersecting roadway. In Alpharetta, motorists become acclimated to the traffic light cameras being at a particular intersection and the overall accident rate decreases.
We can easily tell by our statistics that Alpharetta driver behaviors have been modified since installation of the traffic light cameras. We continue to experience a decrease in recorded traffic injuries at the intersections monitored by red-light traffic cameras. It is truly about safety!
Because of the city of Alpharetta's red-light camera system, our roadways are safer. We continue to experience a declining number of crashes, injuries and fatalities. This technology is a great benefit to the city, and a significant number of lives have been saved!
Gary George is public safety director for Alpharetta.
Cameras prevent crashes, save lives
By Adrian K. Lund
As the familiar phrase goes, the bottom line is what matters. In highway safety, the bottom line is simple – reduce deaths and injuries from motor vehicle crashes. Among the dangerous driving practices that lead to deaths and injuries on U.S. roads is red-light running. Red-light cameras are an effective tool in preventing crashes.
They saved 159 lives in 2004-08 in the 14 biggest U.S. cities with cameras, an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety analysis found. If cameras had been operating during that period in all cities with populations of more than 200,000, a total of 815 fewer people would have died.
Roswell is among more than 500 communities that are using red-light cameras to make intersections safer. How are Roswell's cameras working? The police chief reported that camera enforcement has dramatically reduced red-light running.
The city asserts that the cameras haven't reduced crashes, but it isn't possible to determine the effects on crashes in Roswell without comparative data from a similar community that doesn't have camera enforcement. Using a proper control allows researchers to home in on the effects of the cameras and reduces the influence of other factors that can change crash numbers.
Study after study from cities around the world show that cameras make intersections safer by reducing crashes. Carefully controlled before-and-after studies show that red-light cameras reduce violations 40 percent to 50 percent and injury crashes 25 percent to 30 percent.
Without cameras, enforcement is difficult and often dangerous. In order to stop a red-light runner, officers usually have to follow the vehicle through the red light, endangering themselves as well as motorists and pedestrians. The manpower required to have police monitor intersections on a regular basis would make it prohibitively expensive. Cities pay for all kinds of traffic safety programs and infrastructure that aren't expected to make a profit. Cities don't remove traffic lights or guardrails because they aren't generating revenue.
Red-light cameras wouldn't be needed at all if cities changed the way they design roads to eliminate traditional intersections by replacing them with roundabouts. Roundabouts force drivers to pay more attention, and with no stoplights or cross traffic there is no need for camera enforcement. Unfortunately, not all intersections can be converted to this safer alternative.
Red-light running kills more than 600 people and injures more than 100,000 each year. Nearly two-thirds of the deaths are people other than the red-light-running drivers – occupants of other vehicles, passengers in red-light runners' vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians. Research demonstrates the bottom line for red-light cameras: They're preventing crashes and saving lives.

The red light camera's are designed to increase revenue. The time lapse from yellow to red is 5 seconds. Reaction time for this short span is not effective enough for the drivers. The instant you see yellow, you need to stop. In some cases you either stop too soon or speed up to get through, both are a gamble. On one instance you get hit from behind and on the other you may hit someone starting out on green due to the short yellow time limit; set for revenue getting. The red light system would work if used properly, however the cost of equipment to revenue coming in would not be cost effective. Our government needs common sense. There are other safety procedures to get people to slow down and obey the rules to traffic.

Great. Spend billions to save 150 lives a year.

Based on my personal experience here in Atlanta, the cameras have reduced the number of vehicles passing thru the interesection after the light has turned red.

These atlanta folks are geniuses… how they can figure out what's going to happen immediately after it happens!

WC, I love round-a-bouts. But the couple that exist around here function oddly. They have "yield" signs at them rather than "stop" signs. Yield doesn't mean squat to an Atlantan. They just train right on through in a solid line of cars so you end up with one direction of vehicles just moving on around combined with other directions afraid to enter the circle because there is no space between the oncoming cars who didn't feel like yielding. The circles with stop signs that I've encountered in many other regions handle traffic very smoothly because nobody is tearin' butt through them, they all had to stop, so there isn't that fear of getting hit like the ones here carry.
November 28th, 2012
11:33 am
RTF: there is another option to speeding through the intersection when you are tailgating that other car … you could stop. Guess that never occurred to you though.
November 28th, 2012
11:25 am
Ever notice how these local officials always begin the conversation by preemptively claiming that red-light cameras are not for raising revenue.
If you really believe that they only care about safety and that they regard the thousands of $'s in fines as an unpleasant inconvenience then I have a bridge in the Gobi Desert to sell you.
November 28th, 2012
11:24 am
I am not going to read the articles. I am going to state fact.
Fact #1: All governments that have implemented traffic cameras have started out by stating that the purpose is SAFETY.. no matter the cost.
Fact #2: After a VERY short period, it has been discovered that traffic cameras have not contributed to safety … AT ALL
Fact #3: After failing to meet revenue estimates, government have started removing cameras. This is contrary to the FACT #1.
Conclusion: Red light cameras were 1) always intended for revenue ONLY and 2) Every government that has used them in Georgia (thus far) has lied about their intended purpose up to the point that they lost money. Politicians that endorsed the lie should be held accountable.

- Welcome!

- About Ateneum
Ateneum's main exhibition this spring, Age of the Animal presents old and new animal art, showing how artists have dealt with the theme over the centuries. There are more than 350 works from 180 different artists on view. Most of the works are from the collections of the three Finnish National Gallery museums, i.e. Ateneum, Kiasma and the Sinebrychoff Art Museum. Some key works are on loan from other art museums, private collections, or the artists themselves. The exhibition features paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings and photographs, selected works from the 16th century to the present day.
Animals are one of the most recurrent motifs in western art. The various themes in the exhibition illustrate how the roles of animals have changed over the centuries, and provide a background for the present-day equality between man and animal. Because of its thematic organisation, the exhibition also features such examples of the museums' collections that have seldom been seen in public. The exceptional historical perspective of the selected works, from the 16th century up to the present, enables fascinating temporal comparisons - not everything has changed in the course of the years, after all.
Animals are central to numerous myths, beliefs and stories, but they also have been and continue to be a part of our daily lives in many different ways. Animals became our prey and cattle, providing the basis for human survival. Man harnessed horse to toil for him and risk its life taking warriors into battle. Yet that is all in the past now, as horse has become a mount and a runner. Man trained and bred the feral wolf into a dog for protection and company. Even the wild cat chasing rats and mice around the farm has been turned into a purring pet, albeit a very independent one. The roles of animals have evolved over the centuries.
Students from the University of Arts and Design Helsinki, directed by Maria Laukka and Alexander
Reichstein, have created a special display for children, In a Magical Forest, where you can meet wondrous animals and read animal stories.

Fantasy Freestyle
Carpenter's Tools
With a lot of talk surrounding the NLCS and the concept of the money-rich Dodgers versus the development-rich Cardinals, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at one of the more celebrated products of the Cardinals developmental system: 13th-round draft pick Matt Carpenter.
Carpenter wasn't celebrated much before 2013, as he was drafted as a fifth-year senior and signed for a mere $1,000. He moved quickly through the system, necessarily so, given his age upon entering pro ball was 23. As you might expect from an older player, Carpenter showed a strong awareness of the strike zone, a trait that's carried over to his major league success. When he impressed as a super-utility player in 2012, Carpenter did so by keeping his strikeout to walk ratio under control, allowing his plus hit-tool to take over, resulting in a .294/.365/.463 slash line in 296 at-bats. The question of course, following his impressive debut campaign, was where would he earn his at-bats going forward as Carpenter had previous earned most of his playing time at first base, where Allen Craig would be playing in 2013. That question was answered when the Cardinals decided they could forego some defense in at the keystone, and play Carpenter there, full time. While Carpenter has proven adept at turning the double play, his defense has largely been as anticipated at the position. Of course that doesn't much matter when one produces as he has at the plate.
A fantasy revelation batting atop the potent St. Louis lineup, Carpenter's careful eye at the plate and ability to put bat to ball earned him top-20 overall status in 2013 (per Yahoo!). The pertinent question to all fantasy leaguers of course is: can this type of ranking/production be replicated going forward? The answer, as it usually is: it depends.
Much of Carpenter's exceptional fantasy season was built on his incredible 127 runs scored, which were 15.5 percent higher than the next highest run-scorer (Mike Trout, 109). While Carpenter's on-base skills are the real deal (10 percent career walk rate), runs scored is a contextual statisti

I drafted Carpenter this year late due to his multi-position eligibility with hopes of using him as a utility guy. I wasn't expecting him to have an elite-level season and wound up using him as my starting 2B most of the year. That said, you have very nicely summarized what my concerns are about him as I begin to evaluate his keeper status (my league keeper rules are fairly complex so I won't go into that here).

When a young filmmaker's career is linked heavily to another filmmaker early in their career, it can sometimes be difficult to extricate themselves from the shadow of their partnership and make a recognizable name for themselves as separate creators. When the other filmmaker is John Carpenter, one of the most well-known directors in the horror genre, it makes the challenge all the more difficult. However, in the case of writer/director Tommy Lee Wallace, his brief but varied filmography sheds light on a directing career whose talent far exceeds the opportunities with which it was presented.
Wallace's career began with a solid collaboration on the sci-fi/comedy "Dark Star," directed by John Carpenter and written by Dan O'Bannon. The film, which was notoriously inexpensive, has some incredibly inventive sets and effects, some in large part due to Wallace's ingenuity. He continued his relationship with Carpenter in "Assault on Precinct 13" as art director and sound effects editor, which led to his work as production designer and editor on "Halloween" (a film which Carpenter credits Wallace with helping immensely by creating the disturbing Michael Myers mask from an already existing Captain Kirk Halloween mask).
Though Wallace's career would head in many different directions from here, including scripting films like "Amityville 2: The Possession" and the Drew Barrymore thriller "Far From Home," he would always be linked to Carpenter in many capacities; he worked on "The Fog," "Big Trouble In Little China," and "Vampires: Los Muertos" with Carpenter in the ensuing years (and even appeared in the film "The Boy Who Could Fly" with Carpenter and director Nick Castle as the real-life band The Coupe de Villes, which they formed years earlier).
Though his work (excellent as it is in several capacities) is often linked with Carpenter and often dismissed as friends helping friends in the industry, Wallace has proven with a handful of directing jobs that he has a solid technical eye and excellent hand with character work in the horror arena.

Beautiful home, so clean, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Picked fresh peaches right off the deck. Enjoyed our time at the stream, I read under a shade tree which my husband worked on his flying fishing. A great trip, very relaxing.
Very Relaxing !!
As a first timer to this area I really did not know what to expect. I was more than pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the cabin. The views were soothing and the inside of the cabin was beautiful and clean. We wanted peaceful and serene and thats exactly what we got!! We were able to go to the Waynesville (35min) 4th of July parade and experience small town America. It was so wonderful, the people are truly one of a kind. Waynesville has everything you need during a stay in these parts of North Carolina. All of the amenities in the cabin worked perfectly. The Wi-Fi was there for a little work when needed and the grill came in handy on the 4th of July. Kim (agent) was very helpful in many ways during our stay. The only thing I would change would be to stay longer!!
Exactly what we were looking for!
We can't say enough good things about Creek Side Cabin. It was everything we expected and so much more. The cabin was adorable, clean and in outstanding condition. Even the yard was immaculately maintained! The artwork were all original pieces and simply amazing! Bill and Liz were so kind and obviously cared about the company in the cabin, which was very comforting. We enjoyed nightly fires with our two small children and our Lakeland terrier. The cows in the pasture in front provided (quite and a non-smelly) entertainment all day long while listening to the the creek. The mountain view was stunning (especially in the morning). A million fireflies provided the kids something extra to collect (and release) while the sun was setting. The creek was a lot of fun to explore, cool off and fish. My husband actually caught a large enough trout for a couple of bites enjoyed by all. Make sure to check out Bill and Liz's home studios. Being someone that crafts at home, I especially enjoyed the tour and talent! Also, drive up to Max Patch for an unbelievable 360 degree view of the surrounding mountains! I don't think I've ever seen something more gorgeous in nature! Thank you again, Bill and Liz for allowing us to have an amazing vacation that I know won't soon be forgotten. We look forward to visiting soon!

Designer Interview: PATCH NYC Does a Collection for Target
Preview Party in Boston
The Shops at Target's new collections are set to launch in stores and online September 9. In preparation, Boston-based PATCH NYC had a preview party in their courtyard last Wednesday, showcasing their exclusive home line for the bullseye. I sat down with designers Don Carney and John Ross to get the scoop on the collaboration.
After starting up in New York in 1997, Don and John moved PATCH NYC to Boston in 2010. The Target collection includes barware, bedding, tabletop, and decorative accents inspired by their love of nature, travel, and flea market finds.
How did you get involved with Target?
Last summer, we received a phone call, totally out of the blue; someone from Target had visited the shop and thought we might be a good fit for The Shops at Target. Soon after that, they came to visit us at our workspace to see if it would work.
You don't get a phone call like that every day!
We thought maybe it was a joke.
What was your inspiration for the collection?
A couple different things inspired us. When [Target] came to visit, we presented them with a theme that reoccurs for us every fall: woodland, with a dark, spicy palette, often times animal imagery. Though we wanted to shake it up a bit. We both like Art Deco geometrics, so we introduced some of that imagery and provided them with some vintage items to get inspired by. They're kind of two unexpected themes that can work together when done right. And that's always been our aesthetic, too, to combine things that maybe you wouldn't expect to see together. That's where the name PATCH came from.
What are your favorite items from the Target collection?
We both really like the cookie jar. Don: My favorite is the fox lamp. John: My favorite is the bedding. I've always wanted to do bedding and I really enjoy sleeping. And I think it feels beautiful.
Where are your favorite places to shop and find inspiration in Boston and New England?
Oftentimes we'll drive to Maine. We search through little junk and antique shops in Ogunquit or Wells. One of the great things about Boston is its proximity to other states. In terms of inspiration, we love the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The structure, the space, the courtyard — obviously, we love courtyards — it's just a really beautiful small-scale museum.
Prices range from $4.99 to $119.99. Check out PATCH NYC at Target in stores and online starting September 9.

I'm so confused. What are "The Shops at Target" are these stores within a store? A smaller version of Target that's being launched as a pilot project?
The Shops at Target is a program in which Target partners with small, forward-thinking boutiques to design collections of clothing, home goods, or personal care items for a mass-market audience. They change every few months.
I love owls, yet I'm so over them by now, they're everywhere. Maybe foxes are the new owls.
That fox lamp is great. If you squint, it's a direwolf.
@pi - YES! I now know what to get the Game of Thrones-obsessed in my life.
Anyone know if it will be available online?
OOh! Can Direwolves be the new owls?
I get that Owls are overdone but if you like something why not use it? Chances are if you like the object and you're not doing it for the trend you'll probably still want it after the trend dies and everyone else has thrown out the owls. Don't deny yourself something you like because you think others will judge you based on fairweather trends :)
I agree @STREAM13. I am really drawn to the throw pillows, the bedding and those cute purple owl candle in this collection! Can't wait to see this stuff in person!
I find the woodland theme stuff a little freaky, but I'm definitely going to look into those pouf/ottoman cushions.
What happened to Target's Red Hot Shop? It just seemed to disappear (ages ago). I thought it was a good marketing idea.
I actually volunteer with wildlife rehabilitation, so I like the wildlife themes. I just bought a cute rug with owls on it. But I had to really, really like the owls in question - there's still personal style to consider. And owls are my achilles' heel when it comes to dealing with wildlife - I have respect for them, but I'm a little scared of them.
@Daniellec, It's my understanding that the entire collection will be available online, with some online-only exclusives.
This is, by far, the coolest designer collection for Target that I've ever seen.
C'monnnnnn Target, bring this to Canada already.
Those poufs look great! I hope they are decently priced.

Montenegro player Jelena Dubljevic:"We knew that the match will be very difficult and we are not accustomed to the aggressive play by Serbia in the defense. We played against a team that does not give up and plays at a high level all 40 minutes, but as time went on, we have proved our quality and togetherness that characterized us all these years. It is very difficult, not only because the oppontent was Serbia, but also due to the fact that we had to justify the expectations of the nation and ourselves. Most important is that we got the win, but this is just the beginning. I hope that Montenegro and also Serbia will play in the EuroBasket Women."
Serbia coach Marina Maljkovic:"Montenegro has played a great match. This shoul not be an excuse, but you have to understand that we are a team that is still being developed. We were quite nervous and it has deterred us from playing at our level."
Serbia player Tamara Radocaj:"I want to congratulate the team of Montenegro on the victory. They were better than us in all aspects of the game, while we have not complied with some of our agreements. We will continue to struggle, to try to correct errors and to achieve a victory in the upcoming match."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Worth the little extra money to match the invites. We used all gold font on labels and had gilded gold envelopes; looked beautiful."
"I love these! Our friends and family were so impressed. I loved that I was able to find address labels that kept with our garden/flower theme. It made things so much easier and looked so classy! 10/10 would order again or suggest to a friend!"
"So I ordered this on a Thursday night and received it Thursday of the following week! On top of that, after I ordered, I left off my apartment # (in the address) and WPD "proofs" their items so I when they sent the proof I noticed the incomplete address. I immediately added it and INSTANTLY (no joke, within minutes) they sent me a corrected proof. I'm blown away by the personalized attention to detail, this didn't feel like a large company I ordered from but rather a small one that gave me wonderful one on one attention. A++ definately recommend!"
"The colors of these labels (in the orange sherbert/coral heart and brown writing) were perfect for my wedding colors. I used them to seal my save the date envelopes and plan to do the same with my wedding invitations. The quality was great and the size was perfect to use for a seal of an envelope. I would not recommend using them on the front of a small envelope as they are a little large in size."
"I love the idea of the address labels so I don't have to write it over and over. These are great and would match almost anything. I will order these again if needed"

For Physicians
Discover new online home for JAMA, Archives Journals
A new Web platform brings together the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and the nine specialty Archives Journals to offer physicians fully integrated access to the latest thinking and innovations in medicine.
Covering clinical topics, policy issues and everything in between, The JAMA Network's new website makes the journals more user friendly and easily accessible. The website facilitates in-depth exploration, providing access to the complete content from the 10 journals alongside integrated multimedia, including videos, author interviews and audio summaries.
Research is further simplified by a new concept-based search engine. Rather than performing multiple searches for various terms that describe the same topic, physicians will receive a complete listing of all relevant content, regardless of the terminology used to describe it.
Hundreds of continuing medical education (CME) activities also are available. Physicians can search for activities by topic or access them alongside the related journal article, track their participation and receive instant accreditation for completed activities.
A new mobile app for accessing this content on the go will become available in June.
CME course offers guidance on counseling older drivers
A new online course from the AMA equips physicians to address the driving safety of their aging patients.
"Medical Fitness to Drive: Is your patient at risk?" helps physicians identify when medical conditions may impair a patient's ability to drive. Produced in collaboration with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, this course provides assessment tools, case studies and other resources that enable physicians to evaluate and counsel their patients about safe driving as a routine part of geriatric medical services.
"As the number of older drivers with medical conditions expands, patients and their families will often turn to physicians for guidance on safe driving," AMA President Peter W. Carmel, MD, said in a statement. "Physicians can use the tools and information contained in this course to better address safe driving practices with their patients—promoting the safety of our patients and our roads."
Because older drivers are considerably more fragile than younger adults, they are more likely to suffer fatal injuries as a result of car accidents. In fact, motor vehicle injuries are a leading cause of injury-related deaths of adults age 65 or older.
Physicians who participate in this educational activity can earn continuing medical education credits in the form of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

SCOTT COUNTY, Ind. (WHAS11) -- A Southern Indiana school district is working with parents to solve a problem created by a federal law.
Scott County School District 2 started a new "Alternative Lunch Program," Monday, which forces students whose lunch balance goes negative to only get a cheese sandwich and one white milk for lunch.
For years, the school went into debt and wrote off thousands in unpaid lunches. Eventually, the school needed to tap into their general fund to cover the cost.
The general fund pays for, among many things, teacher's salaries. The federal government, which helps fund the school, will not allow the school to continue covering the debt.
Instead, parents must sign their kids up for free and reduced-price lunches, or start paying the fee.
The district's business manager, Steve Nauman, said he estimates a small number of kids could fall in the middle and not qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.
"If a child sees another child get singled out over a lunch tray, that immediately puts a target on that child's back and all the other children are then open to pick on them as well, and it's just not right," Dawn Spencer, a Scott County parent who went to the school board, said.
The school board and parents plan to start a special fund to help pay for any students that do not qualify for the free and reduced-price lunch program and cannot afford to pay out of pocket.

Thursday July 7, 2011
Starting today and continuing until July 14, Ford Motor Company is accepting applications to hire 1,800 new workers at the Louisville Assembly Plant on Fern Valley Road, Mayor Greg Fischer announced today.
The workers are needed to produce the new Ford Escape following the $600 million re-tooling and transformation of the plant to make it the most modern, flexible plant in the company.
"This is the biggest expansion of jobs in Louisville by an individual company in years," Fischer said. "It's a major boost to our economy and, more importantly, it's a major boost to the tens of thousands of our citizens who are unemployed and looking for work."
Total employment at the Assembly Plant, when it reaches full capacity in 2012, will be 2,900 – an increase of 1,800 employees compared to when the plant shut down last December, according for Ford executives.
Citizens may apply for these jobs by visiting the Kentucky Office for Employment and Training at 600 West Cedar in downtown Louisville starting today and continuing until 5 p.m. next Thursday, July 14.
Some of the hires will be made from former Ford workers who were laid off in the past; others will be new hires to the company. "The bottom line – this is 1,800 new jobs for our city," said Joe Reagan, President of Greater Louisville Inc.
Because Ford expects more than 1,800 to apply for these positions, people will be chosen for employment consideration based on a lottery. Individuals interested in participating in the lottery must obtain, complete and return a form from the Cedar St. office.
Individuals whose numbers are drawn in the lottery will be given the opportunity to participate in pre-employment testing for potential employment with the company. There is a limit of one form per person – so, if several members of one family wish to be part of the lottery, one person cannot receive forms for other family members.
Contact sheets and voluntary supplemental sheets can be picked up at the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training, 600 West Cedar Street, Louisville, KY 40202-2396 beginning immediately and must be returned before the close of business Thursday, July 14th, 2011. Individuals whose numbers are drawn in the lottery will be given the opportunity to participate in pre-employment testing for potential employment with the company. Due to the fact there will be a limited number of applicants chosen; interested individuals should get a contact sheet ASAP. Limit one per customer.
Job Summary - The responsibility of a Production assembler can include but not be limited to:
*Note that the anticipated job opportunities are for temporary and full-time employment.

Former Miss New Jersey teen contestant, Mary Greff was found dead in her home in Waldwick, New Jersey.
Greff was found by her adopted father early Wednesday morning in her bedroom, allegedly strangled to death. Her 9 month old baby son was in the crib near her body. Fortunately, the baby was unharmed.
Law enforcement officials believe that Mark Spatucci, Greff's former-boyfriend and father of the son is responsible for this murder. Spatucci is being charged with murder as well as first degree burglary at the Bergen County Court House.
In addition, Spatucci is believed to have destroyed text messages and washed his clothes both of which may have had strong evidence and connecting him to this case.
The investigation into the brutal murder of this beauty queen continues.

The Texas rose and 2012 Hometown Hotties finalist tackles your conundrums.
Is it weird to think my cousin is hot?
—Pete Farsky
It's one thing to describe your cousin as attractive, or maybe even to have a little crush on an older cousin when you're a kid. But once sexual feelings start to enter the picture, it's time for counseling.
What's the best way to make up for forgetting an anniversary?
—Rick O'Neal
You'd have to plan an extra-special surprise to make up for this…if there's a girlfriend left to make it up to. You have to be really clueless to slip up with this!
How long should I wait before telling my girlfriend I love her?
—Darren Gerschler
I'd say two dates is too soon, but a month is reasonable.
I love spicy food, but it makes my forehead sweat. Is that normal?
—Jim Alexakis
Yeah, technically it is, but that doesn't mean you should go ahead and douse your meal in Tabasco on a first date.
Are marbles made of marble?
—Seth Lynch
Who even thinks about that kind of stuff? That's one for Google.

ANN ARBOR (WQLR) -- According to a source close to the situation, the 2013 Winter Classic has been cancelled in the wake of the ongoing NHL labor dispute.
The AP source spoke on the condition of annonymity since an official announcement has not been released by the league.
What began as an homage to hockey's outdoor roots has blossomed into a marquee event for the National Hockey League, drawing record crowds at historic outdoor venues like Boston's Fenway Park and Wrigley Field in Chicago. The NHL drew a historic number at the inaugural Winter Classic in 2008 when 71,217 hockey fans watched the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Buffalo Sabres at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
This year's Classic was to represent Hockeytown as well as Canada, pitting the Detroit Red Wings against the Toronto Maple Leafs as well as their minor league affiliates at Comerica Park. 200,000-plus were expected at the "Big House" to see CCHA powerhouse teams Western Michigan, Michigan and Michigan State do battle in the conference's final season. 2010's matchup between the Wolverines and Spartans drew a crowd of 104,173.
Last week, the NHL cancelled all of the previously scheduled games through the end of November.

Tips for Keeping Your Pets Safe and Sane This Halloween

Yep, next to the 4th of July hoopla (annoying and horrible firecrackers), Halloween ranks right there in 2nd place as being near intolerable for the family pet, not to mention all the homeless animals as well as the critters meant to live outdoors. Count me as "not a fan."
Submitted by Sheltie Gal | October 23 2012 | Permalink
I think that with most things you need to know your pet to determine how stressful the Halloween time is for your pet. My older Sheltie loves the holiday and cheerfully greets all the neighborhood kids. My younger Sheltie on the other hand wants nothing to do with the holiday. To make things work for my boys I keep the younger one away from the door in an isolated part of the house. I also avoid any doorbell ringing by being at the door or outside to reduce the stress to my younger. The bottom line is that as a responsible pet owner you need to know your pet.

It really was his prerogative: Bobby Brown back for 2009-10 and summer-league roster setPosted on June 30th, 2009 – 2:38 PM
By Jerry Zgoda
Wolves point guard Bobby Brown, as expected, has exercised the $736,420 option for next season and, in theory, will be back next season.
That now gives the Wolves four point guards, with Ricky Rubio and Jonny Flynn drafted together last week and Sebastian Telfair already under contract.
Undrafted out of Cal State-Fullerton, Brown signed a two-year deal with Sacramento last summer after impressing in the Vegas Summer League, then was traded to the Wolves at the trading deadline in the swap that sent Rashad McCants and Calvin Booth to the Kings for Brown and Shelden Williams.
Williams becomes an unrestricted free agent at midnight tonight and, with a new baby delivered by wife Candace Parker this spring, will be looking for work.
Brown will be on the Wolves' Vegas Summer League roster that also will include Flynn, Wayne Ellington, NDSU guard Ben Woodside, newly acquried Oleksiy Pecherov and Flynn's Syracuse teammate, Paul Harris.
The complete roster
22 Corey Brewer, F (6-9 188), Florida, 2nd year
1 Bobby Brown, G (6-2 175), Cal State Fullerton, 1
23 Pat Carroll, G/F (6-5 190), St. Joseph's R
19 Wayne Ellington, G (6-4 200), North Carolina R
11 Jonny Flynn, G (6-0 185), Syracuse R
17 Devin Green, G (6-7 212), Hampton 1
12 Paul Harris, G/F, (6-4 230) Syracuse R
15 Gerald Henderson, G (6-4 215), Duke R
51 Steven Hill, C (7-0 248) Arkansas 1
31 Rob Kurz, F (6-9 232) Notre Dame 1
4 Oleksiy Pecherov, F (7-0 234) Ukraine 2
20 Garrett Siler, C (6-11 305) Augusta State R
7 Ben Woodside, G (5-11 185) North Dakota State R
As you'll notice, GERALD HENDERSON is listed on the roster. Little technicality here: He was drafted 12th by Charlotte.
Is there some big trade they haven't told us about?
The Bobcats have nixed their summer-league team this year in a cost-cutting move, so Larry Brown (who's buddies with David Kahn) is placing players on other team's summer-league rosters.
Since the Wolves are lacking shooting guards, Henderson will end up playing on the Wolves' team.
Expect Corey to practice with the team and then maybe play a game or two, but no more than that, just to try his knee out.

How do you make a basic Java JSlider with a text box ???
I'm trying to create a JSlider applet to change colors in a text box.. Where do I start???? I'm not trying to create anything very complicated; just something basic to change between 3 colors (RED, BLUE, GREEN). Say you move the slider to the right, I want the text box above it to change color to RED and if I move it a little more to the right, the text box will turn BLUE, so on and so forth.
For example, an applet such as the image in the link below:

Perfect for Family Vacation
We stayed at this beautiful home with 7 adults and a baby. It backs up to the Presidio, a beautiful and diverse park. The back gate leads directly into a dog park, which our granddaughter loved, and about a 5 minute walk to a playground. It is less than a mile to a Golden Gate Park. An easy drive to the waterfront, downtown and other attractions. We were also walking distance to a few restaurants. It gave a real feel for residential, urban life in a very beautiful city. The house was clean, comfortable and as advertised. Mary and her family were gracious hosts and a pleasure to have next door. It's a 3 level home so you need to be physically ok with stairs. I highly recommend this home.
Absolutely Amazing!
This property is everything it claims to be and more. You have to see it to believe it. Incredible view of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridege out of the master and kitchen windows. I went with my wife and 4 (teenage and above) children. Things got a little crowded in the bathroom at times, but they loved it. We had an amazing time. Walked to Tiburon. Took the ferry to the San Francisco. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer! The furnishings were incredible. The house was immaculate. Everything you need to cook or prepare a meal at home. I hope to return for another getaway with just my wife next time. Thanks Courtney and Sandy for creating a such a stunning home away from home!
Highly Recommended.
A co-worker and I stayed here while down for some training. Normally we would have gotten our own hotel rooms, but we figured we give this route a shot. It worked out pretty good, as it saved some money for the company and gave us a more homely feeling. I'm glad we found this place. Everything was very nice and comfortable. The kitchen is way better outfitted than those extended stay places, and we still had our private rooms and bathrooms. Christopher was very courteous and professional. Calling us to make sure everything was ok was something I did not expect, but it was a nice gesture. There were a couple of things that were in need of repair, but I told him, and he took care of promptly after we left so that the next people could enjoy just as much as we did.

Changing to a vegan diet is possible with planning
As people look to live more healthful lifestyles, many are contemplating meat-free diets. But becoming vegan or vegetarian can seem daunting as people try to figure out what to eat to get all the proper nutrients. Ingrid Beardsley, registered dietitian at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital, said the transition can be done with proper planning.

Ok, so in a week or so I will be setting up a database mirroring scenario in order to facilitate a server move (i.e. physical move to new location) with low downtime amounts. We've got our plan pretty much down, very abridged version is:
asked May 17, 2011 at 12:44 PM in Default
Matt Whitfield ♦♦
how far is the server moving? No chance to virtualise and transfer image? or backup/restore?
May 17, 2011 at 03:55 PM Fatherjack ♦♦
It's about 25 miles... So - virtualise and transfer image = impact on running system... And both those would have the impact of either a problem to do with catching up on operations performed 'in the mean time' or downtime - which we're trying to minimise...
May 18, 2011 at 01:09 AM Matt Whitfield ♦♦
You may want to add a step after backup primary to backup primary tlog, then a step after restore to secondary for restoring tlog to secondary. For some reason there still seems to be a glitch where you have to also restore a log. I have only tested in 2005 and 2008. 2008R2 may have fixed this.
The only other gotcha would be anything hard coded to the primary host name. If you use DNS aliases or virtual ip addresses you should be fine. Does the primary server have any ETL processes or shared folders?
What is your plan for migrating your users? Several processes exist for a one time move but I am not aware of anything that will keep the SID's in sync other than a drop and create of the user object.I almost forgot, you asked about experiences. I used mirroring a lot when migrating to a new data center and just last week for a DR test. The only gotcha's I have encountered are user access. Keeping the bloody accounts in sync. Fortunately the majority of the accounts I deal with are server type SQL accounts where the password doesn't change and active directory groups. However there are those systems where we have local SQL accounts where the user changes their password. Those have been a pain to work with.
answered May 17, 2011 at 01:01 PM
When you say 'migrating your users' I presume you mean users in the context of
sys.database_principals and not end-users of our system? There are not a lot of database users - so making sure that the database users map to their respective logins after activating the secondary isn't a huge task... But - definitely a good thing to look out for - thank you...
May 17, 2011 at 01:40 PM Matt Whitfield ♦♦
I was referring to the database users. Where I work we have a lot of older crappy systems that require SQL authentication so hundreds of database users that we have to worry with. Sounds like you are rather lucky in that respect. It is ironic that you posted this question today because last night and this morning I just setup mirroring on a 250 GB database for a migration that is happening next week. That is 6 hours I don't have to spend working during the migration.
May 17, 2011 at 01:45 PM Tim
Hahah good timing then. Would you say it's easier if all your users are Windows Auth users then? Because, long term, we were tossing around the idea of taking the SQL Server out of the domain entirely... I'm not convinced that we see a lot of benefit from Windows Auth, right at the moment...
May 17, 2011 at 02:13 PM Matt Whitfield ♦♦
For me adding an Active Directory group to a SQL server and granting permissions to the group is much easier than managing hundreds of local SQL accounts or worse local Windows Accounts. With AD Groups you can add the group on the primary and secondary server grant permissions and be done with it. If users authenticate to the app, then the app has a service level account to SQL then you really don't have to be in the domain. Remove it and remove that risk.
May 17, 2011 at 02:17 PM Tim
Yeah, it's the users authenticate to the app scenario that I'm in. I do wish that SQL Server supported that a bit better... :) Thanks for all your comments...
May 17, 2011 at 03:08 PM Matt Whitfield ♦♦
* can you please explain how to make sure that security settings for account have proper authentication, I created a new user and login for mirroring ...is there any steps that I can follow ???
answered Jun 06, 2011 at 01:06 AM
Ok, I have some points to share now:
When you set up mirroring, and get this error:
You might, maybe, be tempted to believe that the network address was wrong, or that one side or other couldn't connect to the port. However, it can also mean
answered May 27, 2011 at 08:08 AM
Matt Whitfield ♦♦
We mirror between Head Office and our DR centre. The biggest issue we have is the time taken to get the backup(s) over to the DR centre. Our network isnt too fast and it is hours in the process, then the log backup needs to be done and copied and etc etc. We usually schedule this for a weekend so that the transfer doesnt affect normal business traffic on the network and there are fewer updates during the copy and the log backup is then much smaller.
My advice - practice it at least once. Even if its on AdventureWorks, just so as you know what the steps are and what does, doesnt fit with the BOL version.
Its a rock solid tech though, we get very few issues and are pleased we changed to it from replication. From SQLBits Klaus Aschenbrenner said that its actually service broker under the covers, I guess he should know!We dont use auto failover as we dont want false positives and the secondary at the DR centre becoming live. the backup solution would then have to be swapped over too and all sorts of extra work would be required. We dont have a witness either, mostly as we are not wanting auto-failover.
answered May 17, 2011 at 03:48 PM
Fatherjack ♦♦
We don't use auto failover either. I don't have that much confidence in our network. No issues with it either in my shop other than occasionally a mirrored db will get in a paused state, not sure what has caused that on two occasions in 2 years of using mirroring. A simple monitor job checks for that and alerts me though. The only impact other than not being in sync is the transaction log keeps growing until the mirror is started back. I have yet to have to a situation where I had to redo mirroring like I used to have to do with logshipping.
May 17, 2011 at 03:53 PM Tim
We wouldn't be going for auto-failover either - so that's really useful, thank you sir!
May 17, 2011 at 11:32 PM Matt Whitfield ♦♦
Firewalls and authentication are two that come to mind.Other than that it works pretty smooth.

A Huntingburg woman's started a new organization to raise money for drunk driving awareness and she says she needs your help to make it a success.
In 2005, Michelle Sims lost her husband in a drunk driving accident.
Now, here on Valentine's Day, 8 years later, Sims is doing what she can to honor her husband Sean while raising awareness for drunk driving.
"To educate our children and even, like I said, ourselves on the dangers is a good thing," says Sims. "It's a worthwhile cause."
In December of 2012, Sims created a new fundraising organization in Huntingburg, 'Stolen Blessings.'
An idea she's had for years but hasn't had time for.
"My husband was killed by a drunk driver in 2005," says Sims. "At that time, I was quite a bit overwhelmed. I had a two-year-old girl, as his daughter. And so, I was a full time mom."
Sims says she now has the time and energy needed to run her organization and she says she's already scheduled nationally renowned speaker Chris Sandy, to visit schools in Dubois, Perry, and Spencer Counties this Spring.
The only problem is, she needs more money to see those convocations through.
"We're needing to raise a total of $5,000," says Sims.
Sims has already organized a dinner-auction benefit for March 2 and has begun selling 'Stolen Blessings' t-shirts.
And she says donations from anyone is greatly appreciated.
"I have a great support system and I've had, you know, a lot of my family and friends help out a lot," says Sims. "So it's good, but we have a long way to go in a short time to do it."
Sims says this initial round of events will serve as a strong foundation, when 'Stolen Blessings' ultimately applies to become a 'not-for-profit.'
If you would like to help Stolen Blessings raise those funds for the upcoming convocations, you can contact Michelle Sims.
