As many schools across the county are turning to e-readers and sometimes exclusively online textbooks, I am wondering if they are missing some learning benefits of paper textbooks for students.
From USA Today about a school in New York that has converted to an entirely digital library system:
"That backpack is going to be much lighter this year. Stepinac in White Plains has become one of the first high schools in the country to drop all textbooks like dead weight and replace them with a 'digital library.' When students started classes Monday, they were zipping to an app or website on their tablet or laptop and had instant access to all 40 texts in the Stepinac curriculum, not to mention all sorts of note-taking, highlighting and interactive features." …
"Stepinac officials worked for a year with Pearson, the education company that has long dominated the textbook world, to design and create a unique digital library that is bound to be studied by other private and public schools."…
"Students can search for what they want, just like with Google, so now we can teach them to interpret and analyze the information," said Matthew Hogan, social studies chairperson."…
"A teacher can show a page from a digital book on an interactive whiteboard at the front of the class or send students a link to a particular math problem, with the teacher's notes added in."
There is no doubt the digital textbooks are cheaper. Students at the Stepinac school paid $700 for textbooks previously and this year only $150 for access to the digital library. However, is this the best way for students to learn? Are there learning advantages to paper versus screens?
I am on computers all day long reading, writing and analyzing information but when I really have to understand and retain something I want it on paper.
The digital media class that I teach at the local college is in theory paperless, but I do provide certain information to my students on hard copies. When I am teaching a new software program, I will post the notes online but I also hand them a paper copy so they can mark it up and fully take it in.
When I am learning something new I don't want to toggle between screens for directions. I want to be able to looks down at a paper copy and do what I need to do on the computer. I also want to be able to mark up my paper with notes to myself.
Last spring, we were getting a new version of a textbook for the class I was teaching. We didn't have a had copy so they said, "Oh you can get it online and prepare from that version," and I hated it! I am used to collecting information online. I am used to working and writing online, but for the purpose of preparing lesson plans and studying I wanted a print version.
As it turns out, my instincts about how I comprehend and retain information better from paper rings true with what researchers have found.
From a 2013 article in Scientific American:
"Since at least the 1980s researchers in many different fields—including psychology, computer engineering, and library and information science—have investigated such questions in more than one hundred published studies. The matter is by no means settled. Before 1992 most studies concluded that people read slower, less accurately and less comprehensively on screens than on paper. Studies published since the early 1990s, however, have produced more inconsistent results: a slight majority has confirmed earlier conclusions, but almost as many have found few significant differences in reading speed or comprehension between paper and screens. And recent surveys suggest that although most people still prefer paper—especially when reading intensively—attitudes are changing as tablets and e-reading technology improve and reading digital books for facts and fun becomes more common. In the U.S., e-books currently make up between 15 and 20 percent of all trade book sales."…
"Even so, evidence from laboratory experiments, polls and consumer reports indicates that modern screens and e-readers fail to adequately recreate certain tactile experiences of reading on paper that many people miss and, more importantly, prevent people from navigating long texts in an intuitive and satisfying way. In turn, such navigational difficulties may subtly inhibit reading comprehension. Compared with paper, screens may also drain more of our mental resources while we are reading and make it a little harder to remember what we read when we are done. A parallel line of research focuses on people's attitudes toward different kinds of media. Whether they realize it or not, many people approach computers and tablets with a state of mind less conducive to learning than the one they bring to paper…."
"Beyond treating individual letters as physical objects, the human brain may also perceive a text in its entirety as a kind of physical landscape. When we read, we construct a mental representation of the text in which meaning is anchored to structure. The exact nature of such representations remains unclear, but they are likely similar to the mental maps we create of terrain—such as mountains and trails—and of man-made physical spaces, such as apartments and offices. Both anecdotally and in published studies, people report that when trying to locate a particular piece of written information they often remember where in the text it appeared. We might recall that we passed the red farmhouse near the start of the trail before we started climbing uphill through the forest; in a similar way, we remember that we read about Mr. Darcy rebuffing Elizabeth Bennett on the bottom of the left-hand page in one of the earlier chapters."
With books you get left page and right page and eight corners on which to associate the information. Just like we navigate a map by what comes before and after, you do that with reading. But you can't do that on an e-reader generally.
Other studies show the reading from e-readers and PDF's don't allow students to look forward or back or notate. The researchers found it doesn't give them enough control over the text.
If they really want to dive in and "understand with clarity" then they want to read it on paper.
"Because of these preferences—and because getting away from multipurpose screens improves concentration—people consistently say that when they really want to dive into a text, they read it on paper. In a 2011 survey of graduate students at National Taiwan University, the majority reported browsing a few paragraphs online before printing out the whole text for more in-depth reading. A 2008 survey of millennials (people born between 1980 and the early 2000s) at Salve Regina University in Rhode Island concluded that, "when it comes to reading a book, even they prefer good, old-fashioned print". And in a 2003 study conducted at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, nearly 80 percent of 687 surveyed students preferred to read text on paper as opposed to on a screen in order to "understand it with clarity".
The article reports that when reading on screens people are less likely to use "metacognitive learning regulation," which are strategies such as setting a goal and checking how well you are understanding along the way.
Researchers say it's not just comprehension but also long-term memory and they find the e-readers make it harder.
So I really think schools should rethink completely doing away with textbooks or maybe give students options. There seems to be a lot of value in paper versus just e-readers and screens.
What do you think? What have your kids' or students' experiences been with digital textbooks? Do you think they concentrate or comprehend as well? Do they retain what they are reading? How do they digest and annotate the text if they need to? How should school balance the financial aspect versus the learning? Has your school switched to digital textbooks?

I am an old fashioned paper book reader. I just got a Kindle, for my birthday, this week. I guess I will see how happy I am with it. Certainly weighs less than a hardback book…haha! I use technology but when it does not work I am really annoyed. I have been LOTS of places when I have dropped calls on my ATT phone…I85 in metro Atlanta is one…haha! Seems odd to me!

I disagree with the premise of your article that students will miss out by primarily using online texts. The research you have mentioned is a question over preference, not over utility or 'learnability'.
If we're talking about eTexts that cannot be amended, then you're right in that students will want to print off and highlight and make notes etc. But with the advent of programs that allow you to highlight, bookmark and take notes, I think that will change. In fact, the ePlatform will allow for a smoother transition between various texts, where students will able to seemlessly source relevant sections of text to use in essays or assignments.
What you're arguing here seems, to me, like the question of computer technology versus pen and paper. 20 odd years ago, it was hard to imagine a classroom filled with laptops rather than notepads. It's a question of what we're used to, not what actually benefits us. Students today will retain information that they have typed on a laptop perhaps better than they might had they written it down.
My belief is that, given 5-10 years, the findings of such research will change dramatically.

I think digital like most things will take a moment to adjust. I do love my hard copy books. However, I have read on the Kindle and been fine. My oldest has the Kindle Fire for school now. It certainly keeps us from losing assignments and helps us stay organized to be more digital.
I am concerned about the cost of the books, and that not all students (including mine) have access to internet at home.

I also love my old fashioned books..Guess it's my age showing..Like FCM, I have Kindle (Fire), have read on it with no problems, but I keep going back to books..
My two are only in 5th grade and aren't using that much work digital, so can't really give any input to that..The boy is much more adavanced on the Kindle than the girl..She like me would rather read a paper book..

I am on the fence over this one. Neha is right about the research and that findings will be significantly different down the road. My eldest niece, who started college this year (in her mid 30s) is my voice on this one. She had a number of digital textbooks, but prefers some subjects–math and chemistry in particular–as real books. She tried digital but says something about the traditional books makes it easier for her with courses that are heavily math based. It will probably be like this for many students, that some courses are better with traditional books and others better with the digital format. For me, when I am home, I like a real book. But I travel for work frequently and for that, my Kindle and my iPad, cannot be replaced.

"Other studies show the reading from e-readers and PDF's don't allow students to look forward or back or notate."
How old are those studies? PDFs definately can let you do that (I use it at work constantly and the features are the same in Reader and Pro versions) and my Fire allows me to at least highlight (and I think it allows notation too but I don't have really any reason to do that with enjoyment reading).

It will only take time to adjust for those of us not already "in tune" with a digital world. For a large number, which will only continue to grow larger, all they "know" is a digital world so I feel they aren't the ones who will need to adjust.

My first thought in reading this was the comment about "pre-1992″ studies — let's face it, before graphical user interfaces (GUI) in the 90's, on-line reading was often a case of those lovely one-color CRT screens, which wasn't exactly conducive to long-term perusal. :-) No wonder the results changed as the technology improved.
I read books on my Kindle app on my tablet, especially when traveling (it was wonderful in China, when I could download English-language books!) but I find having to constantly recharge is a PITA. I love, love, love that initial moment of opening a book to the first page to see what delights emerge. I love the smell of a new book, and I love the tactile sense of turning pages.
But, I suppose scholars in the early Middle Ages felt the same way about their scrolls :-)

@Me: I think you might be right. Sometimes, it IS hard to teach old dogs new tricks, and once the brain has learned to read a paper book (tagging pages, etc.), it may be a challenge to segue to a different style.

I'm like Theresa, when I really want to learn and retain something, I have to have it in paper. I love my tablet, since I get to have all the book formats (kindle, sony, nook) on it. I am an AVID reader. Yes, many programs allow you to highlight and make notations, but it's not the same. I guess my mind associates screens with play or leisure time, so when I have to read something for retention…it starts to wander. Also, reading large amounts of information on a screen hurts my eyes and my head….something about the lighting. I also like to be able to flip back and forth quickly to check validate different things and that IS harder on a e-reader because you have to KNOW what page you want to go back to..you put a sticky note in the spot.
I also agree that with everything else in education, they are going to find that they are going to have to keep some paper versions of a texts for students that have certain disabilities. They are also going to find that there will be kids like me and Theresa that learn better on paper.

My son's school used digital textbooks for the past several years but more for access at home rather than in the classroom (they did have physical books in the classroom). I loved it. No dragging home books and no "I forgot" excuses. I think we have to remember that these kids grew up and are growing up in the digital age. It's more odd for them to carry around a book than a digital device (cell or tablet).
I am not a huge fan of reading on my Kindle Fire but I have a Kindle reader and LOVE it. It's what I primarily read from. Since it's an older model, I even have to use a booklight with it :) I look at computer screens all day so not a fan of backlit devices when I simply want to read. They're great for surfing the web and watching videos and such but for pure reading, I highly recommend a Kindle reader.

There are times (few and far between) when I find it's easier to have a hard copy, but I think part of what kids need to learn is how they work best and when they need to print things out. And you absolutely can highlight and take notes on a tablet — I do it all the time using a PDF program that I think cost $8 or $10 when I purchased it 2 years ago.
I'd be interested to see a studying comparing how people learn on desktops/laptops vs tablets. Everything I've seen seems to lump all screens together, but they are very different experiences. Holding a tablet in your hands, turning pages, and making notes with your fingers instead of a keyboard are much closer to the experience of a book than reading on a screen that isn't handheld.

@Techmom: One of things I like about my Kindle app on my Galaxy Tab is being able to change the background to black with white lettering. If I'm reading in bed at night, the glow from the black-on-white was sometimes pretty strong — switching it to white-on-black cut back significantly on the ambient light, and was still easy to read, especially if I upped the font a notch.

@DB – I do expect tablet manufacturers to design a "reading" mode for their tablets as more and more folks turn to them for reading that will adjust the settings to make it easier on our eyes. Still doesn't help with reading in sunlight though. Maybe one of them will make one with both screens – one on each side so you just flip it over depending on the task! Reader screen on one side and backlit/LED screen on the other. Now THAT would be cool(heavy though… and for heaven's sake DON'T drop it)!

I think it would be harder for those of us who grew up with physical texts to transition totally to digital. But this generation will be growing up digital from the start. I think they'll be just fine.

Techmom, I completely agree about b/w readers. For just plain old reading, nothing tops black and white e-Ink. I read on an iPad because I use it for much more than that and don't want to carry an additional device, but if reading books was my main purpose, I'd buy a b/w Nook or Kindle for <$100.
September 19th, 2013

I think the whole premise of the article is wrong. If all the new technology is used for is to replace books, but still just present static info on a page as if it was a book, then the new tech will fail miserably, and will be a huge wasted investment.
If, however, the educators figure out how to leverage the interactive capabilities to gain a students interest, and engage them as if it was a game or movie, then it'll be a huge win.
September 19th, 2013

@ dc you have a great point. There could be working models or interactive parts to re-inforce what is being taught. Now that would be pretty awesome.

MJG- You can lose messages (both voice and text) for a variety of reasons. While it's easy to blame the person, it's something I deal with a lot at work. I have a large network problem around my house so when I am trying to get work done it doesn't always arrive on time or at all if we are communicating via cellphones.
dc- Interactive textbooks are already used in some areas (science has them). There was one available for biology my last year of college. My sister used one in college as well. I don't think they generate interest as much as make it easier to engage students and help understand key concepts they might not get from lecture or reading. Some students are visual learners and it just makes the information availabe in a more accessable format for their learning style.
September 19th, 2013

The bigger problem is not the format, but the content. Constantly using the victims of government-run education as lab rats for "new math", "look-say" reading, Monsanto propaganda, revisionist history (especially constitutional), and the like are the bigger issue everyone should be focusing on. But then since every other level of the government bureaucracy is controlled by big business, why should anyone be surprised that the early-life propaganda machine is plagued by the same problems?
September 19th, 2013
11:03 am
@How did we let it get to this?
You are right. What is to stop the publishers from making the schools have to buy the newer product each year? That actually negates the cheaper cost. Having to pay for tech support (and they do charge for it) on a yearly basis makes the cost actually even out to about the same as paper textbooks. The electric ones just take up less space.
E-textbooks are a good concept but there are a few potential problems that will eventually have to be addressed.
Also, all students don't have WiFi availability in their homes or the internet for that matter. What then?
September 19th, 2013

E-texts will not be any cheaper than books with all the contracts, suppliers, updates, consultants, etc. There is always lots of money that will change hands regardless of the method.

I agree that the younger generation is much more digital, but I don't think this is just a young vs. "old dog" preference. My 8 year old prefers to read books on paper. He loves going to the library and browsing the shelves looking at the covers and finding things to read. We are there several times a week. He likes the whole process of checking out the books and carrying a big stack out the door, excited to get started reading.
Our city library is the busiest in Fulton County. There are always quite a few kids exploring the shelves each time we are there. We also have a lot of books at home on our bookcases and he enjoys just going in the room and finding something off the shelf to explore. Having all the books and the book covers to look over sparks interest and encourages reading. While you can find and browse books electronically, with E readers only it is "out of sight, out of mind" more.

Our district in MN is mixed; traditional books in the classroom with students also having online access for some classes. The pluses are less books to lug home which means lighter book bags (yay). One con I struggle with is the long-term impact of vision for young eyes always being in front of some sort of screen. Anyone else notice that children get glasses at younger and younger ages? Any data in increasing number of headaches among school-age children. How do we limit screen time when even textbooks are online? I too agree with previous posts wondering how much is retained traditional vs electronic media.
September 19th, 2013
11:33 am
Ebooks may not be cheaper than paper, but they could be a better product for the same price. Hopefully schools would be paying for up-to-date books. If students can have up-to-date ebooks that aren't years-old and falling part like most paper books I had in school were for roughly the same price, I'd say that's a win.

@ malleesmom – You are right to be concerned about the eye strain with additional screen time. There is a percentage of the population that are having serious issues with LED lights on phones, computers, e-readers, etc. This lighting is very different from the CCFL bulbs used previously in screens and a portion of the population are sensitive to the lights. It is not corrected by reducing the brightness settings.
There are different theories floating about the cause and there are several symptoms that vary. The problem is not just tired eyes, but sometimes actual pain. Your eyes hurt. I have the problem and first noticed it when using my husband's Imac. My eyes "hurt" in ways that they didn't when using my older pc laptop. After Googling it, I found all kinds of information online about issues related to this that have increased with the switchover to LED bulbs – the bulbs that backlight the screen. This is a topic that is being explored. Some think the issue is the LED type bulb; others think it has to do with the "refresh rate" or the graphics card. There is software that you can add to your devices that removes the "blue light" in screen spectrum that some think it the problem. LED bulbs are being used now in many things and we just don't know the full impact yet. Our eyes are very important – we should know the impact and risks before we make big changes in exposure, especially at young ages.
There are folks with eye symptoms that have not yet made the connection to the use of their phones or laptops. Here's one thread on the topic that is eye opening to read:

I really hate to see the near-elimination of hard copies of books, handwritten notes, etc. All these electronic things. There's something to be said, and enjoyed, about holding a book in your hands, flipping actual pages, highlighting stuff, making litle notations in a tangible way, even sometimes with different colored ink.
Technology is good, but we are losing so many good things about books, language skills, eye contact, patience, delayed gratification. Crazy time. Thank God I don't have any young kids today.

I just left a lecture about "Millennials" and it was interesting. Bottom line: Baby Boomers made the gen-X and now M's the way they are. Every little Johnnie is a saint, every Maryjane is beautiful. the red ink will scare them on their test paper, and if the kids do poorly in school…before the kid would get the parent's disgust; now the parents bark at the teachers. Also every sport is truly competitive and all participants get a little trophy, even if they sucked and lost the game 50-0.

The digital AJC is terrible. The iPhone app looks tired and out of date, and the iPad one is not much better. The website looks like an amateur designed it. Take a look at The Washington Post or New York Times' sites to see how it's done. Those look very professional and polished. The AJC looks like a high school paper put it together.

@ Young Lady…I rarely blame a person when technology is involved. Kind of hard to wrestle with someone when I am on a country road with my GPS and it is not working, nor do I have cell service. I do mumble TOLD YOU SO to my husband ( not there) who thinks I am OCD about carrying a paper map or atlas in the car at all times. He rarely travels with me and thus I have to be prepared. I often wish he would be beside me when I have to crack open the map book or stop and ask for directions…WAIT that would never happen if he WERE with me. Better to be confident about being lost than to ask directions from ANYONE….haha!

Don't let the facts get in the way of your argument.
September 19th, 2013
3:56 pm
@ Jarvis – My argument is not based on the cost to students at one school mentioned by Theresa. I am talking about the overall cost to school systems, states and taxpayers in regards to E books vs. Textbooks. Experts do not agree on whether there will be cost savings or not. Some educators think the cost will be greater due to:
1. The technology expense, including but not limited to purchasing equipment for those who don't have it. Both students and teachers would need to have eBook readers.
2. Expense of converting texts to e-format. That e material would have to meet state standards and we all know that varies from state to state. Whose paying for that and how are those costs passed on to the school and taxpayers? Will Georgia purchase E material written for Georgia standards?
3. Digital textbooks would require everyone to have a quality computer with Internet access.
4. Teachers have to be trained in the technology.
5. Maintenance for broken, misplaced, stolen, or defective technology.
Aside from that, publishers will find a way to make money. They will charge for annual updates.
September 19th, 2013
8:27 pm
1. You can buy a single bare bones Kindle for $110 at retail. I can only imagine what the discount would be on several thousand.
2. Why would the process be to convert the texts to eBook rather than using texts created for eBook to begin with?
3. Why would everyone need a computer and Internet access? I thought we were talking about tablets loaded with texts at the school.
4. My sister taught my mom (a retired 8th Grade English teacher with no techincal capabilities at all) how to use a Kindle Fire in 20 minutes. It's easier than a Promethean Board by leaps and bounds, and teachers have seem to grasp those with fairly little trouble.
5. I'd think not having to replace the paper and hardback every time curriculum changed would offset the maintenance costs and license fees on the technology. As for theft, it would take very little for a tablet to be produced in a way that it would be able to run nothing that wasn't coded as a "textbook" rendering it worthless for other uses.
September 19th, 2013
11:07 pm
@ Jarvis – You are talking logic with some of your points. Schools, like the government, are big and bureaucratic. They don't do "simple" well and they don't do much cheap. And, they don't always follow logic. There are true examples of schools that paid a lot more for books than what you or I could purchase them for on our own at retail because they go through their "approved" vendors that have contracts with the system – not necessarily the cheapest market price.
There are plenty of textbooks that are not available yet on e-readers. And, the majority of children's books are not in that format. I don't think we are going to have all new textbooks created just for e-book that do not involve at least some conversions from current textbooks. My point is that someone will be paying for that. This will be a gradual process. Amazon only converts texts that they think they will make plenty of sales and profits on.
These things are not going to be provided without profit being made by the companies. Textbook publishers and school content controllers are not going to sell their e-versions that will replace print textbooks in a manner that leads to a big profit decline. These are huge companies and they certainly aren't stupid. Phasing out textbooks may save trees, but the jury is certainly out as to whether it saves the public any money.
As far as training, that includes how they will be used in the classroom and other issues, such as how does the teacher know that the students have the right book in front of them on the e-reader during class? A frequent complaint on the school blog is that technology and other things are implemented without adequate preparation and training. The e-reader texts will have to be replaced, downloaded, etc. every time an update occurs.
I just would like to see an actual, up-front breakdown of all direct and indirect costs. So, if the downloading is done at school rather than at home, as you say, are the schools then hiring someone to download as many as 15-20 books on each e-reader for the thousands of students in the school system for that school year? What is the life span of the devices? Of the battery? How often will each need to be replaced? These devices need to be charged every couple of days. What happens when the batteries are dead during class? Are all students going to come to class with the devices always charged? Are the devices being charged at school or at home? And, if at school, what is the cost of thousands of devices being charged? What kind of electrical setup is needed for that?
September 20th, 2013
8:15 am
Ann, of course companies are not going to aim for profit decline, but revenue decline does not equal profit decline. Producing an ebook is cheaper than producing a hard copy. Let's say it costs half as much. They can sell it for 30% less than before and still make a higher profit — much higher if that price cuts also leads to selling more books than before.
I have a hard time imagining that the public couldn't at least break even on costs and end up with a better, always up-to-date product that reduces little kids' backpack weight (I'm convinced my neck and shoulder problems are largely due to carrying around a 30 lb backpack and a trombone for years as a child). Of course a good system should be put in place for doing all this, but it's certainly not that difficult for schools to develop a program that works well. As for devices always being charged, if required to be done at home, I'm sure a kid will forget now and then, but kids have forgotten to bring their textbooks to class on occasion too. These aren't difficult problems to solve.

Wired Xbox 360 controller on Window 7 not recognized
I got a very funny issue with my xbox 360 controller here...
I bought it 3 years ago while im still in college, often used it on my laptop (win xp) and it runs well, no problem.
Last year i bought a new PC with Windows Vista, and still no problem, i played many games with that.
The problem exist since i format my PC to Windows 7 ultimate 32
Here's the funny stuff, after few experiment, i found out that "The longer I dont use the controller, the longer i can use it afterward"
I guess u will confuse about what im talking... but its true
For example.... I turn on my PC, and i did not plug in the controller for hours, maybe surfing webs or do some stuffs, then when i decided to plug it on to play some games, it actually works but it has a limited time. After some time, it stop working and the green light disappear.
Like I turn on the pc without plugging in the controller for 30min, then when i plugged in i can use about 30min (i didnt record it, just for u to understand easily)
When i try to unplug it and plug it on again, the green light on the controller flash once, and my pc said USB Device not recognized, what the heck is this?
I've even tried to restart the PC, windows 7 loaded, i plug in the controller, about few minutes it not working again
I've been searching for solutions for few hours, updating the driver from the microsoft website, XBCD and few emulator, tried it but nothing helps
Could anyone tell me what is happening?

Self Help for Weak Kidney Chi
Opening the earth vortex (the chakra at the bottom of the feet) and clearing the ming-men point (taught in Donna Eden's Ehergy Medicine for Wowmen class) helps kidney qi flow. To open the vortex while standing picture a slowly rotating disc below the feet. If working on a partner stand or sit some distance back from the feet while they lie on a table (or the floor) on their back. Rotate the hands counter-clockwise, activating the earth vortex.
To clear Ming-Men massage the point, then pull along all the radii to open it. Then draw the energy up and over the pelvic bone and down and off the feet. Repeat several times.
Then work the sacrum, bending forward and back and then circling the coccyx in small circles, keeping the hips and shoulders steady.
Working with a partner, you can also stand at the feet and pump them, moving the feet at the ankles. This opens the Bubbling Spring (K1).
The following procedure, called Kidney acuflush, helps restore kidney chi..
1st sedate kidney (Hold K1 & L1).
2nd Strengthen kidney (Hold Lung & Kidney Source points
3rd Massage Kidney neurolymphaticreflex points– shoulder ball joint, arm from shoulder to elbow, and the pelvic bone ½ way between waist and groin
4th lightly massage neurovascular reflex points on the head
5th a light pinch to St 1-2 on the cheeks
6th hold spleen & kidney control cycle points
And because Kidney is closely associated with adrenals and fear, balance triple warmer/spleen and massage the adrenal points (two finger widths above the navel and two finger widths to either side of it). You need to go deep. It will likely be tender.
Spleen is on the control cycle for kidney, so make sure spleen is in balance. You can massage the spleen neurolymphatic reflex points under the breasts, and tap the spleen meridian at the side seams of the body.
Since Metal feeds Water, and further, Large Intestine is active at the opposite time on the meridian clock, make sure that the Ileoceocal and Houston valves are closing (draw the hands up from the groin to the waist along the inside of the pelvic bone 3 times and shake them off) and massage the large intestine neurolymphatics (base of the spine and outside of the legs from hip to knee).
This routine should/could be repeated once or twice daily for best resutls.
Much of this information is drawn from Donna Eden's Energy Medicine. I highly recommend her book by that name.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Sorry about the double post, but another piece of criticism I just thought of. One of the reasons why this comic in particular isn't that great, is due to the fact that it shows that you have a distinct lack of understanding of the subject matter.
People have already pointed out that that is a problem with someone who doesn't play WoW making comics about it, but this is even worse. Ventrilo uses a push-to-talk system. Although there's other methods, the vast majority use ptt, which requires you to hold down the button to talk.
This means that anyone who has ever used Vent would just not find this funny, as it's not an experience anyone would have had.

"Another Masterpiece"
I bought this book when it was first released and actually got to meet Mr. Harris at a book signing event. The characters in Basketball Jones come alive through E Lynn's brilliant writing abilities. Mirron Willis also does an admirable job of giving the characters, actions and scenes in the book life. A definite must read for all.
E Lynn Harris you will be forever missed.

Logic of Aid in an Intertemporal Setting
AbstractThe paper studies the welfare implications of temporary foreign aid in the context of a simple two-country model of trade. In addition to its usual effects, a transfer of income in one period is assumed to influence the preferences of the recipient country in the following period. The implied changes in the terms of trade over the two periods are consistent with a number of possible outcomes with respect to the intertemporal welfare of the donor, the recipient, and the world as a whole. Particular attention is devoted to the conditions for strict Pareto improvement and the circumstances under which temporary aid transactions are likely to occur.

South Dakota is at it again. A new abortion ban bill is expected to be revealed today at the state Capitol–and this time around it will have exceptions for rape, incest and the health of the woman. (So generous, I know.)
"Legislators in the House and Senate who did not vote in favor of the bill that was passed last year say that they would support such a bill that had exceptions for rape and incest and clearly defined health exceptions,� [Rep. Don Van Etten, R-Rapid City] said.
…Kate Looby, state director for Planned Parenthood in South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota, also was in the Capitol on Monday. She said the lawmakers were "ignoring South Dakota voters,â€? who rejected an abortion ban last November.
The only exception in that measure was to save the life of the mother, but Looby said she believed South Dakotans would not accept the new measure either. "I think the people of South Dakota want the government to stay out of this private, personal family matter,� she said.
Let's hope so. But this is going to mean a change of fighting words on our part. After all, a lot of what pro-choicers talked about when trying to defeat the last ban was the lack of exceptions…
FInd out about the South Dakota "logo" here.

Testimony in Rod Blagojevich's retrial ended today with a stern lecture from U.S. District Judge James Zagel to the former governor's defense team about what he considered improper questioning they had directed at two government witnesses.
"If you continue to do this, I will sit you down," Zagel told attorney Aaron Goldstein.
During the cross-examinations today of Tom Balanoff and John Harris, Goldstein was swatted back with objection after objection by the prosecution – many sustained by Zagel.
But the question that drew the most concern from Zagel was when Goldstein asked Balanoff, a union leader, whether he went to authorities after Blagojevich allegedly floated the idea of appointing Valerie Jarrett to a vacant U.S. Senate seat in return for the then-governor getting a cabinet appointment.
"This one is really out of bounds," Zagel said to Goldstein during the testimony. "I will explain to you when we are done."
After dismissing the jury for the day, Zagel gave Goldstein his warning. When Blagojevich's attorneys tried to respond, the judge stopped the discussion.
"I don't want you to respond to it," Zagel said. "I want you to comply with it."
3:30 p.m. Objections fly as defense questions Blago witness
Prosecutors objected dozens of times to his questions, including his very first on the prosecution's marquee charge, the alleged sale of the U.S. Senate sale.
Goldstein followed up by asking if Harris was a prosecutor in military.
"If this is going where I think it's going," Zagel said, it would "transgress" on the judge's ruling that the defense can't argue Blagojevich was not guilty because he was surrounded by lawyers who didn't tell him he was doing anything wrong.
Harris said numerous politicians were in the running for the Senate opening, including Jarrett, then-Illinois Senate president Emil Jones and U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. At one point, Goldstein asked if Harris himself had ever asked about the seat for himself.
"Like, idle curiosity? Because I'll let him answer, though I don't know what it has to do with this case," Zagel said after the government objected again.
Harris then answered that he had not asked for himself.
Another element the defense wants to stress is that the political climate in Springfield was frustrating for Blagojevich. But Goldstein was often thwarted when he tried to show that Blagojevich had to go around the General Assembly to get things done.
Zagel sustained a long series of government objections.
Did Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan pose a big roadblock? Objection. Sustained.
Was it difficult for the governor to get any legislation through the House? Objection. Sustained.
Did Harris know the governor wasn't getting a lot of bills passed? Objection. Sustained
"Don't go there," Zagel warned at one point.
Defense gets first crack at key Blago witness

I hope you all are embracing the spirit of romance today… I know I sure am! This delicate, rosy colored inspiration board is helping me plan what to wear tonight in order to show off my love-day mood! I could easily feel down and disheartened spending my Valentine's Day single yet again…but I couldn't be more excited to go out with my gals tonight who are all in the same boat. If you didn't get the chance to hear about my festivities, read here for all the goodies!
As you get older this dreamy holiday isn't always so peachy perfect, but I am determined to remember the times where handing out sweet little valentines topped with lollipops and candy hearts was oh so fun…and this year is no exception! I plan on bringing something special to dinner for all of my lovely ladies as we spend our last few months together before parting ways and entering the real world (outside of college). So, like I said earlier this month, be happy in this moment and cherish those who love you unconditionally both today and every day!
*Images {column 1} pink dress, pink table setting, pink rose wreath {column 2} pink chair, pink roses, candy hearts {column 3} heart coffee, pink feather, Starbucks ice cream, Jane Eyre, pink dessert
With Valentine's Day only 14 days away, it's official: my date for two years in a row now is once again my good friend Izzie, along with seven or so other ladies. We made our annual singles reservation at P.F. Changs downtown, and I couldn't be more excited to devour their four-course meal for two, complete with your choice of soup, an appetizer, two entrees, individual mini desserts, and my favorite, a bottle of Pinot Noir! This month is full of handmade heart cards, fragrant flowers, and confused men trying to plan that last-second night out with their leading ladies, so I consider myself lucky to be able to spend the Hallmark holiday with my girls who would never break my heart like every man so gracefully does! …and most importantly, whether you are dressing for your admirer or a singles night out (hopeful that love will be on your side next year), finding that memorable outfit is crucial…so my advice is to impress Cupid and color block in shades of red and pink. If the infamous style icon and "tell it like it is" hopeless romantic- Carrie Bradshaw (better known as Sarah Jessica Parker) gives this trend her approval, you can bet that others will too. I challenge you all to make Feb. 14th special this 2012, and skip getting wrapped up in the stress of it all. Just make sure to spend quality time with someone you love dearly!
Also, for all you deal savers out there… moolala is having a great special right now. For $25 dollars you receive 2 movie tickets + a $50 gift card that can be redeemed at some tasty places like Max's Wine Dive and J Black's. My friends and I aren't only treating ourselves to a Valentine's Day dinner…thanks to moolala, we are splurging on another meal and a night full of crying our eyes out watching The Vow starring my hubby Channing Tatum…i wish.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- Dan Akerson, the former head of General Motors, says he does not believe that his successor knew about ignition switch problems that prompted a major recall before she took the job as CEO. He says Mary Barra confronted the problem the moment she found out about it. In the "Detroit News,"
Akerson is quoted saying, "She didn't know about it. I bet my life on it." That issue led to the recall of more than 2.5-million vehicles and was linked to 13 death and 47 crashes.

MARK NANTZ THE CEO OF THE BON SECOURS ST FRANCIS HOSPITAL IN GREENVILLE SAYS THE TIMING FOR THIS... COULDN'T BE MORE PERFECT. THE PRICE TAG... 4.5 MILLION DOLLARS FOR A 10 YEAR DEAL. fact of the matter is you do have to advertise and we do spend significant marketing dollars every year. this is the way we feel like we can have the human touch. NOT ONLY WILL IT BE A NEW NAME... BUT THE FORMER BILO CENTER IS UNDERGOING ITS FIRST MULTI MILLION DOLLAR RENOVATION. A NEW HIGH DEFINITION DIGITAL SCORE BOARD IS ON ITS WAY. they will see a 360 ribbon board just like you see at major league stadiums and arenas. PRESIDENT OF THE GREENVILLE ARENA DISTRICT... we've completely gutted the suites, brand new suites ROGER NEWTON SAYS THAT'S NOT ALL. digital signage on the concourse the place is going to take on a whole new look and that is just phase one. BUT REMEMBER... THE BON SECOURS HEALTH SYSTEM IS A NON PROFIT... CATHOLIC MINISTRY. I ASKED HOSPITAL CEO MARK NANTZ IF THAT WILL MEAN SOME... ACTS OR SHOWS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PERFORM HERE? NANTZ... SAYS NO. the values of this community are shared by the shared values of the sisters of bon secours so when we looked through that and we look at trying to come up with what we can't do that is not a sponsorship that is not a partnership is finding a way to do things together. AND THAT EVERYONE SAYS... IS THE GOAL, TO MAKE... WHAT HAPPENS HERE EVEN BETTER. THE OLD BILO CENTER SIGNS ARE ALREADY COMING DOWN. THE OFFICIAL DATE OF THE 10 YEAR CONTRACT... IS OCTOBER FIRST.

Firstly, I'd like to explain my absence over the last few months. I am in the final few weeks of my Master's degree, working on my dissertation, so lots of things have been neglected and unfortunately blogging is one of them!
We had visitors to the caravan recently which meant cooking for 8 and I don't know about you, but whenever we have guests the days seem to revolve around mealtimes. We have got breakfast off to a fine art at the caravan, with my better half cooking up the sausage, bacon and mushroom on the barbie, while I prepare the poached eggs, beans and toast in our tiny little kitchen (I promise a pic next time!).
We ate Al-fresco to make the most of the beautiful Welsh sunshine. I am always looking for useful dishes that can be rustled up at short notice and this refreshing summer salad certainly fits the bill. A generous squeeze of lemon juice adds zing to these store-cupboard ingredients, and it made a great accompaniment to the fab tortilla that my sister in law Jo brought along. She is a fantastic cook and has promised me her carbonara recipe, so look out for that over the next few weeks.
400g tin mixed beans (drained and rinsed)
150g long grain rice (dry weight – cooked and cooled)
1/2 red onion, chopped
4 tomatoes (de-seeded and chopped)
Tin of tuna (drained)
4 British Lion eggs (hard-boiled, peeled and quartered)
1 lemon
Extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground salt and pepper
- Flake the tuna into a bowl, add the beans, onion, tomatoes and rice. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over and mix everything together, seasoning with freshly ground salt and pepper.
- Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over being careful of the pips!
- Arrange the quartered hard-boiled eggs on top and serve.

It's a triple whammy that has slammed wheat prices in recent weeks, according to Oklahoma State University Extension grain marketing economist Kim Anderson. In a SUNUP TV report, Anderson says there are three reasons why wheat prices are in retreat: U.S. and global wheat stocks are relatively high, U.S. wheat acres are up 3% from a year ago and corn prices are moving lower.

Take a good look at the constitution. No, i'll wait while you go get it...ok...got it? Good. Now light it up! Behold all those pretty little words of freedom and equality going up in flames! Not a very pretty sight I know but keep in mind this is exactly what's happening in schools all over the U.S. as we speak, metaphorically speaking that is. Students are being told they aren't allowed to petition school decisions, students are being forced into ritualistic customs even if they don't agree with them (pledge of allegiance, moment of silence, etc.), and not to mention schools even limiting the free speech of students spoken and written. Now I can understand basic censorship of students (we don't want them getting too free minded do we?) but taking it to a point of only allowing certain "school-friendly" topics to be covered is just plain ridiculous. Now maybe i'm overreacting a bit but goddamnit i'm tired of this. If our children are being taught at a young age that the limitation of personal freedoms is not only inevitable, but a good thing, well my friends we are all doomed.

Letter From New Mayapur France GBC
"This terrible incident should also be taken as a lesson that ISKCON Europe's devotees must start to seriously consider what we need to do in order to provide proper facilities for our devotees who have served for a lifetime, but who can no longer do so. Aged and sickly devotees should not become so isolated that they become overwhelmed by the idea of themselves being a burden."
It is not just ISKCON Europe's devotees, but all ISKCON devotees, myself and leaders included. Somehow or other we have to remedy this situation. Devotees are valued when they are doing service but when THEY need service it seems like we are all "too busy." The movement now is so large it is too easy to be impersonal, to just hide and turn a blind eye.
Perhaps members of each ISKCON community and temple can band together and endeavor to make those infirm devotees feel wanted and encouraged rather than isolated or neglected.

Thank you for this. It is well spoken and true. I follow your advice to pray for a drop of his attachment to the holy names.

How Will the Forthcoming Eclipses Affect You?
Sankarsana prabhu,
Thank you for expressing exactly what I would have liked to say but didn't.
Patita Pavana prabhu,
You dazzled me with your astrological descriptions. I did not have the knowledge to pick apart (as others may) whether every detail was correct or not. But you always enliven me with how you quickly connect what you say to some Krishna centered context. It is purifying to hear and pleasing to the heart.
Varnadi and Somayaji prabhus,
You both dazzled me with you sharp intellect and knowledge. I did not have the knowledge to pick apart whether every detail was correct or not. But you did not enliven me in Krishna Consciousness. Rather, it aroused my anger at the way you were so intent to "tear apart" the person of Patita Pavana prabhu. Where was the Vaisnava etiquette? Many of the other prabhus' comments painted a picture of PP prabhu as someone who was not a "Marketer" but a "Servant of the Servant." Did that make any impression? I think you have misjudged PP prabhu, and harshly at that. Might that be taken into consideration? Or, are your criticisms, and being right, the only things you are interested in?
Hoping to be your humble servant,
Madhusudan das (ACBSP)
Comment Posted By Madhusudana On 22.12.2009 @ 06:19
For a devotee who is convinced that their dependence on the Holy Name is all they need and are prepared to accept whatever circumstance Krishna arranges, perhaps they can do without any astrological guidance. As for myself, I would not reject a simple astrological reading from an devotee Vedic astrologer when embarking on any serious, potentially life-changing, situation, i.e., travel to India, starting a new business, investing a large sum of money, etc. And I still pray to Radha and Krishna to kindly engage me in Their service.
While Sri Patita Pavana has dazzled us with his astrological erudition, the concluding portion of his article (and his subsequent comment) shows he is a serious devotee at heart, and one who knows that the goal of life is pleasing the Lord of us all. Then he ends with a simple entreaty: If anyone would like some reassurance of proper timing to start some event, his services are available. I thought his purpose was quite clear.
Comment Posted By Madhusudana On 12.12.2009 @ 04:09
It seems that what Locanananda is asking is not too "off base." Why not make the judged changes, whether obviously grammatically incorrect or bring in the original manuscript version, BUT have them all annotated so that it is clear what is being changed? That seems reasonable; both in the scholarly sense as well as for the reference of devotees.

Siddhanta's Das' "Memories" Series: Sacred Recollections of Shri Guru
If I was as eloquent and articulate as Sri Patita Pavana das I would have written a similar entry as he. Srila Prabhupad was (is) such a huge spiritual gem that none of us could view all his amazing facets. But Siddhanta prabhus "Memories" allows us to view SO MUCH more than any of us has seen–through the descriptions of his disciples who were present in all the various places he visited. And the words of love from some of his grand disciples, who did not have his vapu association further expands the view of his greatness.Anyone who wants to spend some intimate time with Srila Prabhupada will relish these dvd's.
We all owe Siddhanta prabhu a debt of gratitude for taking the time and energy to record all those recollections.

Syamapriya devi dasi's return to Godhead
Thank you all so much for being there for her. It is so sweet. She is lovingly in our thoughts and prayers.
We love this family of ours–Srila Prabhupada's family. We never want to leave it. All glories to the assembled devotees.
Always begging to remain your humble servants,
Madhusudan and Kanchanbala

The departure of Puri Maharaja
A few years ago I had the great fortune of being introduced to BB Puri Maharaj by my godbrother Guru Kripa prabhu (who I owe a debt to for that). He was very kind towards me and I felt he was like a loving spiritual uncle. When he gave a talk in the courtyard of his temple in Vrindavan he had me sit right in front of him at his feet. He began by wholeheartedly glorifying what Srila Prabhupada had done. I felt greatly benefitted by his association.
The day before hearing about his passing my wife, my daughter, and myself watched him on the Memories CD's of Siddhanta prabhu. Just from that my daughter had some affection for him and when she heard he had passed away became very sad. Such is the potency of a moments association of a pure devotee.
Aspiring to be the servant of the Vaishnavas,
Madhusudan das
Comment Posted By Madhusudana On 13.03.2009 @ 02:32
To my old friend and BBT buddy Yamaraj,
I offer my humble obeisances. He is one of the unsung heroes of the Krishna Consciousness movement. He has done untold amount of service, and is worthy of MY worship. I unreservedly offer my heartfelt prayers for his wellbeing. I am sure that both Srila Prabhupad and Krishna are pleased with him. He doesn't need my prayers for his spiritual welfare, but I offer them for my own purification. I pray that any discomfort he may feel is minimized. And if Krishna decides to take him back soon, I hope that he will take my good wishes with him. It was an honor to serve side by side with him.
Your humble servant,
Madhusudan das

Can somebody put a stop to this before its too late?
Nrsimhananda prabhu,
Now I see how I misunderstood. Even though I copied the segment below from your entry I had STILL read it as "simple living, high thinking," instead of what you wrote, "simple thinking, high living." Hence my confusion. Sorry. What is that saying, "Even seeing they still don't see? Or, as Prabhupada says, imperfect senses, tends to make mistakes.
Nice to hear from you and see your cheshire grin.
Madhusudan das
>My obeisances hundreds of times to Bhaktimarg Swami for resisting the temptation to live a simple thinking, high living life enjoyed by those who are attempting to compromise his preaching example.

Very tasty. We used tilapia. The recipe made about two times more salsa than we used. (...More would've overpowered the fish.)
Veracruz-Style Red Snapper
Adding fresh cilantro and olives to bottled salsa and canned beans gives you fresh-from-the-garden taste without much chopping. Feel free to use your favorite canned beans for variety. The salsa is also great with grilled chicken. To chop cilantro quickly, wash and dry the entire bunch while it's still bound together. Starting at the top of the bunch, chop only the amount of cilantro leaves you need. (Don't worry about including the stems; they won't affect the flavor.) This method also works for parsley.
