A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.

Albany - - A state advocacy group is trying to make sure people with disabilities have equal opportunities to work.
The Southwest Chapter of the Georgia Rehabilitation Association held an appreciation breakfast today for legislators and friends who support this mission.
This year is the 16th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Organizers of today's event want to promote awareness of the needs of disabled citizens looking for work.
"We have had hundreds of clients to go to work over the years and they gave some statistics today and Dr. Simms reported that there are 800 students in the state of Georgia that the program has been able to place in employment," says President Angelina Thomas.
Employers were on hand to talk about how disabled citizens have benefited their companies.
State Representative Freddie Powell Simms was honored for her commitment to legislation for people with disabilities.

Davis, the first overall pick in June's draft, has missed the last 11 games with a stress reaction in his left ankle. New Orleans is just 2-9 since Davis last played on Nov. 17.
"It was tough because you want to be on the floor," Davis remarked at the team's shootaround on Tuesday. "Sitting out 11 games is tough, but it's good to be back."
In six games this season, the 19-year-old Kentucky product has averaged 16.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per contest.

Hawaii is a collection of islands located in Polynesia, and even the mention of its name, conjures up images of a sun blessed, idyllic paradise. Holidaymakers from all over the world head there in their tens of thousands each year to take advantage of all that it has to offer, and there are a wide variety of places to stay and accommodation types. One such example of this, is a holiday rental villa in Mauna Kea which is situated on the Kohala Coast on Big Island Hawaii. As well as being positioned near to some fabulous beaches, the accommodation boasts all the mod-cons, comfortable furnishings and a fully equipped kitchen, making it the perfect home away from home.
There are a seemingly endless amount of leisure activities on offer during a holiday in Mauna Kea, and so visitors can be assured that they will never be bored! Hawaii is of course well known for being the home of surfing, and it would be remiss not to try the sport at least once. There are a number of schools available for novices, and surf spots up and down the coast suitable for people of all experience levels. Other leisure activities that one could try include swimming, snorkelling, diving, tennis and golf.
A holiday in Mauna Kea isn't all about time spent at the beach, as there are also many wonderful places that can be visited. A trip to Akaka Falls State Park reveals a lush interior forest region with the impressive waterfalls as its centrepiece. The nearby Onizuka Centre for International Astronomy is also recommended, and the night time stargazing program is well worth the time spent there. Other possible places to visit include the Lyman House Memorial Museum, the Pacific Tsunami Museum and the Hawaii Volcanoes National park.
Hawaii has a tropical climate, which means that it has two definable seasons, which are a wet season and a dry season. The wet season lasts from October to April, and people are less likely to book self catering accommodation in Mauna Kea during this time. The temperatures are still warm though, with day time average highs of 27 degrees Celsius. This temperature is maintained through the dry season, with the only difference being that rainfall is minimal.
The closest airport to the holiday rental villa in Mauna Kea is Kona International Airport (KOA). Although it is an international airport, there are no direct flights from the UK, and so a connection must be made at some point. One suggestion is to fly into Los Angeles (LAX) and then catch a connecting flight to Hawaii. American Airlines, Delta Airlines and United Airlines all operate a service out of Los Angeles which may be suitable.

When Mountain View, Calif.-based PayNearMe launched a service that allows residents to pay their AMS Billing Services utility bills in cash at 7-Eleven's around the country, it was easy to make assumptions about the service's targeted clientele.
PayNearMe CEO Danny Shader acknowledges that some of users could be day laborers. But by no means is it everyone. He also thinks second shift workers and people in the restaurant industry maybe coming into 7-Eleven in odd hours to pay their rent
"There are a number of misconceptions about this [cash] market," he says. "Yes, there's an immigrant population. But you'd be amazed how many people are overdrawn or maxed out in traditional banking and use alternative financial services to go around the banking system. This is not a great economy and banking has become expensive."
Shader isn't alone in seeing these opportunities. Walnut Creek, Calif.-based RentPayment.com has an agreement with MoneyGram to allow residents to pay rent in cash. "All of the management teams that we've talked to are interested it that because they're [tired of] getting cash," says Bill Evick, the company's vice president of sales. "Because of the economy a lot more people are paying in cash."
But some people contend that best-in-class owners still can eschew cash payments. "It [taking cash] is not in Archstone or UDR's wheelhouse or anyone like that," said one apartment executive.
Neil J. Rosen, owner of NJR Real Estate Consulting Services, an asset management consultant in Virginia Beach, Va., agreed. "In Class A properties, residents have a different profile," he says. "They want to pay by credit card or they want rent taken out of their account."
Automated Payments
Regardless of who the target demographic may be, companies like PayNearMe might play a valuable role. In its system, for instance, a consumer hands his or her bill, which has an embedded unique barcode, to the 7-Eleven cashier. The cashier scans the code, the resident pays cash, receives a detailed receipt as proof of payment, and property owners and managers are notified immediately that the tenant has paid. It all happens in seconds and the consumer pays a convenience charge of $2.25. PayNearMe splits this fee with 7-Eleven.
Compare that with the process of paying through money order, which often cost $15 or more and are loaded with pitfalls.
"There can be fraud in the money order," Shader says. "If someone keys in the wrong amount, how to do you resolve the discrepancy? This is easier for every step in the chain."
RentPayment.com partnered with MoneyGram to offer a cash payment service at Walmart and CVS around the country. Residents get a card with a unique identifier, present the card, and pay their rent for a service charge of $3.50. Typically, it costs $9 or $10 to do this, according to Evick.
"They can pay anything in the resident ledger on the management software," he says.

Presentation of the concert
BACH, Toccata and Fugue in D minor (excerpt)
Prelude from Fugue in G minor, "Little"
(arr. Stokowski)
KODALY, Ballet Music 1925 (Dragon's Dance)
DUKAS, The Sorcerer's Apprentice
MUSSORGSKY, Night on Bald Mountain
Every Halloween the "phantoms of the orchestra" return to haunt the concert hall. The maestro —and his terrified assistant— must use the power of the baton to control this ghoulish orchestra of the undead and lead them in concert. The story of the Sorcerer's Apprentice is brought vividly to life in this eye-catching concert program. A highly entertaining concert inspired by the story of The Sorcerer's Apprentice, a score made popular by its reinterpretation in the Walt Disney film Fantasia, as was Mussorgsky's Night on the Bald Mountain and Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

MOSCOW, Idaho-- The Moscow Police Department completed its investigation of a graduate student's August murder.
Results of an investigation conducted by the Idaho State Police and the Moscow PD show that Bustamante created two digital files in a folder on his computer on Aug. 9, 2011. One of the files reportedly contained information on Benoit's home address, and the other included her schedule for the fall semester at the University of Idaho. Authorities say the folder was last accessed on Aug. 22.
The police department gave this timeline for the events that took place on Aug. 22 and Aug. 23:
- Bustamante rented a vehicle (August 22 at approximately 3:00 p.m.)
- Bustamante shot Benoit at her South Lilly address (August 22 at approximately 8:40 p.m.)
- Bustamante checked into the Best Western Plus University Inn (August 22 at approximately 9:00 p.m.)
- Bustamante phoned the front desk and requested a wake-up call for 11:00 a.m. the following day, August 23, 2011 (August 22 at approximately 10:00 p.m.)
- Bustamante's rental car was located in the parking lot of the Best Western Plus University Inn (August 23 at approximately 1:00 a.m.)
- Entry by police into room 213 found Bustamante dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound (August 23 at approximately 6:00 a.m.)
Moscow police say a .45 caliber handgun recovered in Bustamante's hotel room has been identified as the weapon used to kill Benoit. Police say that no evidence to date has been found to indicate that Bustamante acted with or was provided assistance by another person while committing this crime.

LOL... MIT .. that's good... I get about as close to MIT as Icarus did to the sun... but once again ... when you know the answer, or heck, created the answer... it all seems a little easier...
Thanks for the compliment on the drawing ... but honestly ... it took more time to do the research on the codes and puzzles.... developing the code and phrase than it did to draw the map itself.... I don't know what that means.. but it sounds bad... lol
Don't Forget!! Rate a Tutorial Today; Add a TAG to a thread today; CLICK on a GOOGLE ADLINK once today!
Quite the contrary. If a map as pleasing as yours was done quickly and easily then that shows a real ability. Given the brain-bending nature of the code I'm not surprised that researching it took more of your time.
says the newbie who scores a challenge compass.... oh wait... i'm a newbie too congrats btw love the map and thank you for the compliment... abilities aside, i need to extend them to learning my PS than developing masterminded ww2 codes that if it were handed to me I'd look at my DM with a straight face and say "Thanks for taking my dyslexia in to account, that was really a low blow..."
Don't Forget!! Rate a Tutorial Today; Add a TAG to a thread today; CLICK on a GOOGLE ADLINK once today!
Thanks for the kind words. I have to admit to some surprise over the voting, I kept waiting for things to change, particularly since there seem to be about 40-50 less votes this month than for March. I thought there might be a cadre of members who only voted at the last minute, like e-bay snipers!
Anyway, roll on next month's challenge, I say! The spur that it gives you to get something down can only be good for my development...
Congratulations to SpamValiant for winning this month's challenge, with a fantastic entry that had us all scratching our heads!
Next Month's challenge is going to be a bit special...watch this space!
Excellent SpamValiant. Great work and well deserved.

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.
"These cards are exactly as advertised. We just love them and are so happy that we picked them to kick off the celebration of our engagement. The paper quality is great and the printing looks exactly as shown on the website. Highly recommended."
"Loved the way our invitations came out! It was really nice to have a collage of pictures surrounding the invite. It was a nice personal touch of our special moments together. The font/color/picture quality were all great! It's smaller then it seems but it's still perfect!"
"I ordered these invites in the cream color and the standard cut and signature matte, I LOVE THEM. So cute! The quality of the paper is great as well. Defiantly a good deal."
"This design is simple and fun. I changed the wording a little because I am having a wine tasting engagement party instead of a cocktail party and it looks awesome! I will buy all my invitations here in the future."
"The invitations came the day they said they would. I absolutely love them. Many friends and family have told me how much they love them. The paper is really great quality."

Kim Kardashian took her turn on Santa's lap during the Kardashian family's Christmas Eve party this weekend?
So we ask ...
Oh, and her butt is getting bigger by the day.
Who the hell cares?
This whore o*****ypsy would take your money any day of the week no matter how much she already has.
the question is nasty or nice TMZ and you'll get an honest answer...
Darn, I didn't get my Christmas wish. You guys are still running stories about the untalented Kartrashians
How big are her boobs? C Cup?
a two bit whore that made it big with some loser in a porn movie...way to make your daddy proud. Dirt.
you look good kim, better than some of the women here, hey ladies, try putting on some makeup once in a while.
I hope she was telling the big guy that she didn't need anything because the fact she has somehow got paid for being an embarassment to the human race these past years is more than she deserves!
I think she looks good! It's nice to see a "celebrity" who's mother can recognize her! They do so much photoshoping and focus changes in entertainment that it's nice to see a real good looking girl.
Kim thinks any publicity is good publicity, even when her brand is under fire for hiring children to make her clothes in China. Ask Kathy Lee Gifford how well it worked out for her when the public found out her clothing line was also made from child labor.
You reap what you sow Kim.
Oh yeah, I also read she is trying to get back with Reggie Bush.
You can't answer that question unless the choices are naughty, nice, and wh*re.
Greed and skankiness don't go together, especially when the economy is in the tank.

White House Highlights Chancellor, UCCS as "Champions of Change"
Each week the White House highlights "Champions of Change" who are making an impact in communities and helping America rise to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
In September, UCCS Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak, was selected as a "Champion of Change" and participated in a roundtable discussion on the positive impact of many community colleges across the nation. Shockley-Zalabak talked about the Southern Colorado Education Consortium, a partnership between two and four-year colleges in southern Colorado to improve student success in the region. (More)

Olympic champion Tiki Gelana was angry that her hopes were thwarted by a collision about a third of the way in with Canadian wheelchair racer Josh Cassidy as she went to get a drink.
The Ethiopian finished 16th after losing ground on the leading pack, while Cassidy had to settle for 20th in his race.

"The safest thing would be to have the chairs start first because one of these years a woman is going to have a leg broken, a career ruined," Cassidy said. "It's just not worth having this program if the races are going to suffer."

Archives in the age of copyright and copyfight
I tune in to CBC Radio One every morning while sipping my tea thanks to live streaming radio (though I hate the fact that they've adopted Windows Media Player as their standard - tisk tisk tisk!). I heard a great piece yesterday on the current state of archives and 'the cultural record' vis a vis copyright on The Current.
The discussion focused on one of the most celebrated documentaries ever made on the American civil rights movement called Eyes on the Prize. The 6 parts of the film trace the history of the civil rights movement using archival footage and interviews with participants in the movement. However, because the rights to much of the archival material used in the series has expired, you'll be hard-pressed to get your hands on a copy because there could be lawsuits for copyright infringement if it's shown publicly.
Listen to The Current: Part 2, from Thursday February 24, 2005
In response to this, the group Downhill Battle has launched its own offensive by encouraging nationwide screenings of the film, citing 'fair use' to get around the issue of infringement. They are also encouraging the use of file sharing networks (p2p) to distribute the film. Wikipedia has an entry about Eyes on the Prize and some background on the efforts of Downhill Battle to make it available.
It's a sad day when the collective 'we' lose rights and access to our own histories due to the increasing privatization of archival (and other) materials. Copyright seems to be getting so out of control that all that will be left for public consumption is a homogenized view of the world put forth by those who can afford to 'own' it. Who will have the resources and capital to purchase these rights? Certainly not the documentary filmmakers, archives, libraries or schools.

CiteULike Searches TOCs of 6488 journals
CiteULike is a tool that I've been keeping my eye on. It's a free service that helps academics share, store, and organise academic papers. It's an an online citation manager with the added perk of promoting resource discovery through tagging and other basic features of what some of the latest and greatest social software apps have to offer.
Now CitULike has implemented a browsing feature for current TOCs of 6488 (current count) scholarly journals.
Example journal: Library Review
Example article: A portrait of Olas as a young information literacy tutorial
CiteULike will also list the tags used by anyone who has added a given article to their database, and list users who have access to the article through their respective libraries. Links to fulltext are offered via IngentaConnect and DOI. Of course it also supports RSS so anyone can add the feed for their favourite journals to their aggregator.
UPDATE: A comment left by Carolyn prompted me to delve deeper into CiteULike, and in doing that, I've encountered a couple of things of note.
Adding citations when authenticated through a proxy server
I've had varying levels of success adding articles to my library when authenticated through our ezproxy server from home, and not in my office (where, obviously, the ezproxy address wouldn't be written into the url). I wasn't able to add a citation from Science Direct while authenticated, but could once I closed to session and tried to add the citation as a 'guest user.' However, I just tried adding an article from JSTOR while authenticated, and it worked. Puzzling. But if we're thinking about promoting on-campus to faculty and students, it's something to consider and might warrant further investigation and testing.
Here's something I can't quite figure out: CiteULike has a feature called "Who has this article in their libraries?" It lists which users have access to a given citation at their institution. Here is a link to the citation I added from Science Direct while not authenticated (a guest user):
Information literacy: Essential skills for the information age
Notice that it says that I have access to this item at my library. I'm not sure how this all works, because when I added it, I was not authenticated and searching as a guest: therefore no access to fulltext.
Supported databases & targets
CiteULike lists a number of supported databases that, when used with the provided bookmarklet, will import citations fairly seamlessly. The list of supported databases and targets is comprised primarily of scientific and medical sources, though if you choose to add a citation from a non-supported source, you can enter details manually.
What about RSS feed for specific tags or authors?
Yes and yes.
See the xml feed for the tag 'literacy' for my library, below. You can also create feeds for tags that would include everyone's libraries.
I don't have many citations in my library yet, but here is an xml feed for the author 'Balas'
CiteULike makes it very easy to add feeds to your favourite aggregator by including the orange 'rss' button on all pages where it's an option. If yo u'd like to watch a number of different libraries, authors and/or tags, you can combine as many as you wish into the CiteULike-provided 'watch' feature, and then create an xml feed from that watchlist. Handy!
Also does it let you export to RefWorks?
I can't say for sure, since I don't have access to RefWorks. But I remember from a time when I did have access that BibTex (the export format supported by CiteULike) was a supported filter for certain scientic databases. However, as for importing a batch of citations from CitULike in BibTex format . . . I don't know. If anyone out there with refWorks access would like to try it out and report back, please do! Carolyn?

Michael Gorman's take on the 'blog people'
Whoa! Things are heating up in Libraryland. There's a flurry of activity happening on the LITA-L listserv (viewing archives requires registration) concerning Michael Gorman's comments in Library Journal on
" . . . Blog People (or their subclass who are interested in computers and the glorification of information) have a fanatical belief in the transforming power of digitization and a consequent horror of, and contempt for, heretics who do not share that belief."
To back up, Gorman's article, entitled "Revenge of the Blog People!", arose from the purported backlash against his Dec. 17 '04 LA Times commentary "Google and God's Mind; The problem is, information isn't knowledge" (requires access to ProQuest Newspapers) from (library?) bloggers.
I'm not going to engage in the debate other than to say that Gorman's comments are alarming and deeply troubling. He has claimed that the LJ articles was meant to be satirical, but I fail to see the satire/humour/wit. If anything, this article demonstrates how out-of-touch Gorman is with the culture of blogging and bloggers, and more specifically, the value and place for blogging in library circles. Even Slashdot and Instapundit have picked up the story. Is this the kind of publicity we need? I don't think so . . .
"Honestly, all this does is give ammunition to the people who say that libraries and librarians are obsolete in the digital age. I've always disagreed with that position -- but if Mr. Gorman is a typical specimen I'll have to rethink my stance, given that, judging by his comments, Gorman isn't even very good at using Google." [via Instapundit]
UPDATE: George Needham over at It's all good has written a hilarious satire of Gormangate: Revenge of the Codex People. In fact, the larger discussion of resistance to new technologies brings back memories of an exercise that my former supervisor and I used to do when training librarians on virtual/chat reference. I'm glad I remembered this, it might come in handy again in the near future (anecdotal evidence: it's pretty darn effective!).

Google Scholar and RedLightGreen need a sandbox
There's been much buzz in the past couple of days about Google Scholar's Scholar Preferences, which provides support for Institutional Access. Probably a hundred or more librarians (like myself) have already bombarded Google Scholar with emails to have their respective institutions added to the list. Many people have noted, and rightly so, that Google Scholar will eventually bump up against issues of scale: who and how many institutions will make it to the coveted institutional list?
My suggestion is that Google Scholar and RedLightGreen get a sandbox. And play. I'm not advocating that the two necessarily amalgamate in any way. I'm thinking that Google Scholar could take some pointers from the way that RLG customizes searches to local institutions.
Unless of course Google Scholar intends to maintain the list as-is. I'm hoping that won't be the case, and that they take Paul up on his idea.

Research Buddy Extension for Firefox not working
I was excited to read about Research Buddy, one of the neatest-sounding Firefox extensions I've come across yet. Theoretically, anyway. The plugin is designed to be used in the following way:
- The user finds a quote on a webpage and wants to reference the quote in her paper.
- The user selects the text of this quote, and, in the right-click menu, selects "Research Buddy" (this step is optional: the page can be referenced without selected text).
- The plugin opens the main Research Buddy dialog, which allows the user to select which research topic the page should be filed under.
- The user clicks on "Add to selected topic", and the reference is saved to the topic. Depending on the preferences, the page (and it's images) may be saved to the user's disk.
I have installed this extension many times on different computers and have never been able to get it to work. Whenever I try to save something and then view my archive, I get the same error: a blank page that says No Citations for this topic
A quick search of Google returned one reference that cites the error, but I can't find any answers or solutions. Is there anyone out there who has managed to get it working? I'd really like to know how to fix it!

Comments on Macromedia Captivate & Qarbon ViewletBuilder?
I'm currently evaluating tutorial software for both instruction (emphasis: tutorials, scoring and evaluation mechanisms) and distance education (emphasis: not so much the scoring aspect but learning and instructional applications). I've worked previously with Qarbon's ViewletBuilder and really enjoyed the simplicity and ease of use. I've also been taking a closer look at Macromedia's Captivate. Only thing is, I haven't had a lot of experience using it and haven't had a lot of luck finding too many reviews that are written from the academic eLearning perspective. We currently have two licenses of Camtasia Studio installed on workstations that are available for public use (not ideal for staff), but I've never been a fan of Camtasia anyway.
Robin Good offers a comprehensive comparison of ViewletBuilder and Camtasia in "Creating interactive learning tutorials for software"
Leave a comment if you have experiences that you'd like to share in using any of these (or other unmentioned) software packages.
UPDATE: The Distant Librarian was kind enough to post my request for comments on his blog, and it looks like some people are weighing in with their opinions and experiences over there. Check it out!

Bye bye Canadian license, hello Nevada DMV
My youth will not be the only thing I'll be losing on upcoming 30th birthday, but also my Canadian driver's license, which will be expiring. I've been living in the US for about 8 months and have neglected to change my license (note: don't do this, you're supposed to change your license within a specific period of time after moving - I'm sure I don't need to tell you that!). It wasn't all that important in my case because I don't own a car, and get around Las Vegas without one, for the most part (note: also not recommended . . . public transit here is barely functional and very smelly).
So I thought it would be a good idea to go trade in my license for a Nevada Driver's License. I naively marched into the DMV, thinking it would involve some paperwork and a simple swap, since I already have a valid license. Wrong wrong wrong. Not only do I need to take a written exam and have my vision tested, but I have to take a road test as well! This applies to anyone who hasn't ever been licensed in the United States. Crap.
Okay, I've been driving since I was 17, how hard can a written test be? I decided to quickly glance at the DMV Book that was handed to me, and go for it. I was warned with a waving finger that I had " . . . better pay attention to the Nevada laws! There are some tricky ones in there that people don't know about!" Yeah, given the way that people drive in this city, I'd say that there's more than just Nevada driving laws that they don't know about. Ahem. So I took the written exam, which was on a touch screen monitor and comprised of 50 questions. I was allowed to get 10 wrong and still pass. I'm at question 42 and I've just gotten the tenth question wrong (pretty much all of the Nevada-specific questions). Only 8 more to go . . . the last question, come on! come on! It's about driving in ice and snow! HA! Can't get me on this one! I moved here from Winnipeg for god's sakes! Score!
I barely passed. I got my 80% and got in line again to be processed. Phase one - complete. I'm now the proud owner of an "Instruction Permit."
Now all I have to do is schedule the road test. I feel like I'm 16 again . . .

Subscribing to an email list (listserv) using Bloglines
Geoff Harder (aka The Blog Driver's Waltz) has just posted an ever so handy guide to using Bloglines to track listservs:
I tried this yesterday with a different set of instructions that I came across, and gave up, dazed and confused. Thanks Geoff!
1) Log into Bloglines
2) Click "Add" (top left-hand corner)
3) Look towards the bottom of the page where it says "Create an Email Subscription"
4) Fill in the blanks (e.g. Name = web4lib; Folder = listservs; ...)
5) Click "Create Email Subscription"
6) NOW, go to the folder that you created and the subsequent title of the feed/page you also just created
7) VOILA. At the top of the page you now have the option to "Send Email" and the ability to include any commands you require (e.g. TO SUBSCRIBE TO WEB4LIB:
Send the message "subscribe Web4Lib your name" to email@example.com)
That easy!! You are able to reply, forward and do other standard email functions as well.
As of today, I'm listserv free! Hooray for my inbox!

Happy Flag Day Canada! (February 15)
It's funny, but I guess it takes living in another country to realize that Tuesday was Flag Day in Canada. I can't say that I've ever really paid much attention before now. There is a great post about the history of the flag of Canada at the Wikinerds Portal
(http://portal.wikinerds.org/canada-flag) Highlights include:
- It is the only flag tested under various wind velocities at a wind tunnel research laboratory.
- Its commercial use is protected by trade mark laws.
- It has what was termed a Canadian Pale by vexillologists and heraldists: A big pale centred on the flag which covers half of its width. Pales, in Vexillology and Heraldry, are vertical stripes that usually cover only 1/3 of a flag's width. Many municipal and local flags in Canada also have Canadian pales, but no other national flags employ this design.
- Its symbol is a maple leaf, a reference to Canada's environment and natural beauty (although, eh, cold!). The leaf has 11 points but some old representations of the flag showed 15 points because they tripled the 2 bottom points.
- Its official colours, designated by King George V of United Kingdom in 1921, are references to St. George's cross (national flag of England from 1277) and the French royal emblem since King Charles VII of France.
- It is instantly recognisable by most people around the world because of the aforementioned unique characteristics.

Using Public Mind for Skype Feature Requests
Public Mind is a an online suggestion box that allows people to recommend new products, services and enhancements. It's a neat idea that is still in beta, so I have no idea what kind of real clout this has.
However, I've been scouring the net for an online status indicator for Skype, but to no avail. I thought I'd give Public Mind a try and see what happens. If you're interested, add your voice to the group:
Public Mind: Dynamic "call me" buttons for websites which show user online status
and . . .
Public Mind: Store my Skype contacts list remotely Oh please please please!
I didn't come up completely empty-handed when I was looking for a status indicator. Things that ... make you go hmm posted an entry on how to use callto tags with Skype. However, a post over at cogdogblog suggests abandoning the callto protocol (Do not callto://me) because of some possible interference with Netmeeting. I've seen many posts that suggest using the Skype-Me Buttons, but they too use callto, and on my computer at work (Windows), an 'External Protocol Request' pops up and asks the user to choose and launch the appropriate application. Not very user-friendly, but here's what the button looks like, followed by the code:

And of cource this doesn't indicate status, so it's useful only to a point. So I think there's a need (and enough demand) out there for a real bonafide online status indicator. Public Mind is a good first start!

eSchool News: New test gauges ICT literacy
An interesting article by Robert Brumfield in eSchool News: New test gauges ICT literacy. It discusses the efforts of seven colleges and university systems in the US to design a test designed to measure what it means to be literate in the digital age. A snippet:
Officials began by establishing a definition of literacy for the 21st century that would become the basis for the examination. Twenty-first century literacy, they concluded, is "the ability to use digital technology, communications tools, and/or networks appropriately to solve information problems in order to function in an information society."
According to ETS, the web-based exam is "a testing program that measures postsecondary students' ability to define, access, manage, integrate, evaluate, create, and communicate information in a technological environment."
Though the article claims that the test is 'the first of its kind,' ETS is hardly the first group to look at ways of evaluating basic literacy and IT skills. Take for example the work that the SCONUL Advisory Committee on Information Literacy has been doing in the UK with its 'Seven Pillars Model.' One of their latest papers has just been published on the SCONUL website:
- SCONUL Advisory Committee on Information Literacy. (2004) Learning outcomes and information literacy. The Higher Education Academy. 69pp. http://www.sconul.ac.uk/activities/inf_lit/papers/outcomes.pdf
There has also been some interesting work done in Ireland with The European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) initiative. I first learned about this at the eLit 2003 Conference in a presentation given by Denise Leahy at the University of Dublin, Trinity College, Ireland. I haven't followed up recently to see what's become of the project, but this posting has reminded me to do just that!

Services for Remote Instruction: How I learned to get my FURL on and love teaching online!
I have given a workshop on integrating library services and interactive tools to faculty here at UNLV called Services for Remote Instruction: How I learned to get my FURL on and love teaching online! It's hosted within a WebCT Development Course (i.e. not publically viewable), but if anyone out there is interested, drop me a line and I'd be more than happy to share the login particulars with you so that you can take a look around. This might be especially useful if you're wanting to see how the rss feeds are pulled in with the use of the various tools mentioned.
I've also pulled together a rough pdf version of the presentation.
Specifically, the workshop covers:
- Library Services that Support Online Learning
- Ask a Librarian Chat Reference Service
- eReserves: Linking to your Class Readings
- Electronic Databases: Linking (properly) to Databases and Articles
- Extra Goodies to complement your WebCT environment
- FURL and other Social Software tools
- Content from Academic Sources (rss)
- Blogs & RSS

Always Fresh: Fast Content for Library Websites with Really Simple Syndication (RSS)
Darlene Fichter from the University of Saskatchewan has posted her OLA 2005 Conference talk on the use of RSS in Libraries:
Always Fresh: Fast Content for Library Websites with Really Simple Syndication (RSS)
Check out how the University of Saskatchewan posts news on their main webapage (in the green column on the right under 'What's New') and the source of that news: a blog for News and Events (Movable Type). Slide 11 of the presentation looks at how they've beeing using RSS in conjunction with their campus portal - interesting as we're making the move to that very infrastructure at UNLV, though I'm not certain to what extent RSS will be playing a role in it from our end.
USask has also published a list of XML-ified electronic journal titles in a very handy list.

Nicknamed "Gansett" by the locals, the small town of Narragansett is on a narrow strip of land running along the eastern bank of the Pettaquamscutt River near Narragansett Bay.
Narragansett holiday homes are popular for the area's beaches and ample summer recreation. There are three beaches where sunbathing, walking and watersports can be enjoyed. The Narragansett Town Beach charges a small fee as it is not state supported. North and South Scarborough beaches are state-owned and charge for parking only. Each beach is well equipped with showers, shady pavilions, food concessions, picnic tables, boardwalks and an observation tower. Explore the local town which has 13 buildings and districts on the National Register of Historic Places. Look for the Gladstone Springhouse and Bottling Plant, built in 1899, the Central Street Historic District and the Ocean Road Historic District. Other things to do in the area include sailing, fishing, boating, kayaking, boat trips, parasailing, scuba diving and seal watching.
Narragansett Pier is a small village of just over 3,000 residents close to Narragansett holiday rentals. Visit Fishermen's Memorial State Park nearby which has the remains of a military fort. The Roger Wheeler State Beach and the Salty Brine State Beach are at nearby Point Judith, the southernmost tip of Narragansett. Port Judith lighthouse was built in 1857 and is a local landmark. Families will enjoy a visit to one of the local farms such as Canterbury Farm which offers horseback riding, lessons and horse shows. Big John Leyden's Tree Farm grows Christmas trees and offers freshwater bass fishing. Charlestown has small shops and galleries in a rustic New England farm setting with farm animals to pet.
Visitors staying in Narragansett holiday rentals near Newport will find the area has four distinct seasons. Summers are hot and showery, reaching an average 28°C (82°F). Winters are cold with snow and freezing overnight temperatures from December through March. Spring is a beautiful season in New England with daytime highs of 12-19°C (54-66°F) and the autumn is famous for its vivid fall foliage. The area is showery throughout the year.
The nearest international airport to Narragansett is T.F. Green (PVD) Airport at Providence, Rhode Island and from there it is a pleasant 35-minute drive to Narragansett holiday homes along the RI-4. Alternatively, fly into Logan International (BOS) Airport in East Boston which is a focus airport for JetBlue Airways and a major operating destination for Delta and US airways. The airport has frequent flights from most American cities as well as Canada and Europe. Narragansett is 84 miles southwest of Boston and is easy to reach by driving south on I-95. Other local airports include Bradley International (BDL) Airport which is 100 miles away near Hartford.

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.
"I thought these were beautiful and very cost effective. I should have looked at the measurements, because they were a little smaller than I was expecting, but overall I'm very happy!"
"These were delivered in a timely fashion! They are perfect for our wedding and are beautiful. The only complaint I have is that the paper (signature matte, no extra charge) is a bit flimsy so be sure to be careful when handling and wiggling into envelopes. Besides that, they were perfect!"
"The product was a good value. It was completed quickly and delivered BEFORE the projected date. My only tiny complaint is the setting of the type for my location and the "invitation to follow" It should have been centered to each other. Otherwise a very pleasant transaction."
"The design of Breathtaking Blooms is so pretty and exactly what I was looking for. I was able to customize the font and color to match the style I was going for. The customer service and response times are always fabulous with WPD and it really makes the process so enjoyable. I would recommend this design to others, the quality is great and it arrived faster than I thought. Happy customer!"
"I used the default design and just changed the wording so it was very easy to create my post cards. I am very happy with the paper quality. I chose Wedding Paper Divas because of the great reviews, and they exceeded my expectations. My fiancé is also very happy with our purchase and we can't wait to send them to our friends and family."

Willie K to headline Labor Day weekend of Hawaiiana
It'll be a relatively quiet Labor Day weekend for Northern California Hawaiiana, unless you're in Santa Cruz or Marin, where fast-picking, full-throated singing Willie K performs two shows. Maui's masterful musician (say that three times fast) will head from Saturday's Mahalo Bash at the Long Beach Convention Center's Terrace Theater to Santa Cruz's much more […] [Read More]
Kanemitsu Bakery, Hula Shores' temporary closing shrinks Molokai menu
Call it a bad case of the munchies: It's gotten a little harder to satisfy your sweet tooth on Moloka'i nui a Hina. Following the Department of Health's suspension of its permit in June, Kanemitsu Bakery — widely known as as late-night, back-alley stop for freshly baked sweet bread with cream cheese, butter, sugar and/or jam — […] [Read More]
Old lava, new trails: Exploring remote Kahuku on Big Island
Little by little, the 113,000 acres of the former Kahuku ranch that became part of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park in 2003 are inviting exploration. Found near mile marker 70.5 on the mauka (mountain) side of Highway 11, southwest of Kīlauea and the main body of the park, the Kahuku section is already open weekends from […] [Read More]
Hapa headlines busy Hawaiian weekend in Bay Area, Santa Cruz
Both Hawai'i Insider writers (Emily Tuupo and myself) are still riding the wave of energy that versatile Kapala brought to Club Fox last night — a feel-good barrel of blues, rock, jazz, calypso, country, pop and oh yeah, a traditional falsetto here and there, which you can experience for yourself tonight in Sacramento, tomorrow in […] [Read More]
Final days for Keauhou Beach Resort
The news this week that Keauhou Beach Resort, a moderately priced, 1960s-era hotel, is closing and will eventually be demolished in favor of a cultural education center came as a surprise to many — but perhaps it shouldn't have been. The Big Island has suffered the most from economic fallout (as well as a bit of […] [Read More]
Eclectic Kapala puts its own stamp on Hawaiian music
The whole may well be greater than the sum of its parts when it comes to creating "Hawaiian music with a groove," as the award-winning musicians of Honolulu-based Kapala call their sound. Already seasoned composers, producers and performers when they connected as a group several years ago, they'll kick off the Northern California release tour for […] [Read More]

The Common Kings' show with Rebel Souljahz, which reprises Saturday at S.F.'s Mezzanine, was previewed here by my colleague […] [Read More]
Kings' Shops to aid closed Kahilu Theatre
A sad story I overlooked earlier this summer was the unexpected closing of Kahilu Theatre in Waimea, founded in 1981 by then-Parker Ranch heir Richard Smart, and since 1994 an independent presenter of numerous music and arts events. Apparently struggling with $225,000 in debt and reduced grants and ticket revenue, the theater management decided at […] [Read More]

Title: Succinylation and Malonylation as Novel Protein Modifications in Cancer
Annual Direct Cost: $382,118
Project Period: 09/21/2011-07/31/2016
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The lack of effective treatments for many cancers and the occurrence of resistance to available therapies make it critically important to identify new targets and strategies for intervention against a number of human malignancies. This multi-PI-directed study will set out to establish the importance of previously unrecognized, reversible protein posttranslational modifications (lysine succinylation and malonylation) in the development of the malignant state. The studies described in this application arise from two exciting new research developments. The first is based on our very recent discovery suggesting the existence of novel post-translational protein modifications on several metabolic enzymes in cells. These modifications appear to be regulated by the mitochondrial protein Sirt5, a member of the Sir2 family of proteins (for Silent information regulator 2). The second involves the renewed attention being directed toward understanding the roles played by cellular metabolism in cancer progression. This is especially the case for the enhanced glycolytic activity (the "Warburg effect") and markedly elevated glutamine metabolism (i.e. "glutamine addiction") exhibited by cancer cells. When combined with our preliminary findings suggesting that Sirt5 is required for the transformed phenotypes of a number of human cancer cells, these different pieces of evidence have led us to put forward the novel hypothesis that the desuccinylation and/or demalonylation of key enzymes in cancer metabolism are essential for satisfying the biosynthetic and bioenergetic requirements of malignant transformation. We will test this hypothesis in cell culture experiments (Aim 1) and mouse models (Aim 2), as well as delineate the molecular mechanisms underlying the requirement of demalonylation/desuccinylation for the malignant state of cancer cells (Aim 1). Moreover, we believe that targeting Sirt5 and blocking its ability to regulate these post-translational modifications in cancer cells will offer new approaches for intervention against this disease. We will identify novel small molecule inhibitors that specifically target Sirt5 (Aim 3) and demonstrate their effectiveness at blocking malignant transformation in cell culture (Aim 1) and in a mouse model of Kras-induced lung cancer (Aim 2), a malignancy for which the development of new therapeutic strategies is especially needed. While a subset of lung cancers can be treated successfully with EGF receptor inhibitors, the approximately 25-50% of lung adenocarcinomas harboring Kras mutations are resistant to these inhibitors as well as chemotherapy, and clinically effective drugs targeting Kras have remained elusive. Thus, we feel that developing strategies that target these novel Sirt5-regulated post- translational modifications as a means to help 're-set' the altered metabolism of cancer cells represents a transformative approach that could ultimately prove beneficial to lung cancer patients, as well as provide a general therapeutic benefit against a broad range of human malignancies, given the fundamental nature of metabolic alterations in cancer.

TUESDAY, Jan. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Baseball batters use a surprising amount of head movement to track pitches, according to a new study.
The findings offer information about how batters keep their eyes on the ball and could lead to new ways to help improve their ability to track pitches, wrote the researchers at the Ohio State University College of Optometry.
The researchers monitored the eye and head movements of 15 Division 1 collegiate baseball players as they tracked balls hurled by a pitching machine. The players' eye and head movements were synchronized with the trajectory of the pitches.
"On average, eye-gaze position matched the target position well throughout the trajectory," the researchers wrote.
For most of the time the ball was in the air, however, the players tracked it with their head. They moved their eyes very little until late in the pitch trajectory. The pitches took about 400 milliseconds (two-fifths of a second) to travel from the pitching machine to the batter, and the players did not move their eyes until between 340 and 380 milliseconds, the researchers found.
Head movements varied between players, but all of them seemed to use a strategy of "neural coupling" between eye and head movements in order to track the ball, according to the study, which was published online Jan. 3 in the journal Optometry and Vision Science.
"It will be interesting in the future to compare tracking strategies to hitting success, and tracking strategies of elite players to those of novice players," the researchers said in a journal news release.
They also said this type of research could lead to improved vision-training strategies to help baseball players of all levels.

Former Florida Governor Charlie Crist Formally Switches to Democrat Party
December 8, 2012 | Filed Under Barack Obama, Democrats/Leftists, Elections, Ethics, Florida, Government, Liberals, Progressives, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
Charlie Crist is one of the worst examples of a whining "moderate" Republican that got all mad because after his last campaign imploded due to his own idiotic embrace of President Obama, Republicans pushed him off at arms length. Well, now his traitorous trajectory is complete. Tonight he Tweeted that he is now officially a Democrat.
"Proud and honored to join the Democratic Party in the home of President," the now former Republican Tweeted.
There really isn't anyone in the GOP, moderate or otherwise, that will miss Charlie Crist. His political career is totally done, and he is no loss to the party at all.
But, whatever the case, he's now a Democrat. I feel bad for them over this.
Naturally the speculation will begin anew over his sexual orientation. Now that he isn't a Republican, I've already seen some people ask if he'll get rid of his "beard." For those unaware, a "beard" is wife — a real female wife — that a gay man marries in order to hide his homosexuality.
Folks have been speculating about Crist's sexuality for years, but he has always said he is not gay and "proves that" by having married the beautiful Mrs. Crist — and she is a looker, too.
But now that he's a Democrat and there is no need to act as if he's straight, will he come out of the closet?
Of course, there is a reason that this will be the main question everyone has on his mind. After all, Crist, 56, has no political career in the offing. He's a has been. These days he is little else but a crude curiosity.
The image to the upper left is the photo Mr. Crist posted to Twitter showing him holding his new Democrat registration.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
While I definitely think the California law is stupid, and circumvents earlier and better safeguards, like the ESRB, I don't think the argument on the grounds of first amendment violation stands.
McCurley writes, "Many organizations, including the now-named Entertainment Merchants Association (EMA), challenged the law in federal court, citing the law's unconstitutionality in violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Remember, the first amendment protects against the states' interfering with protectable forms of speech."
Actually, the first amendment states that, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
It seems to me that, as the amendment imposes no restrictions on the rights of states to make such a law, that CA is within their rights to do so on those grounds.
There is court precedent, which I don't currently have time to look up (but I'm sure another commenter will) in which the Supreme Court decided that the First Amendment applies to states as well. Basically, the issue you're suggesting has already been brought up and decided, and states can't infringe upon your first amendment rights, either.
SINisterWyvern said...
Go to videgamevoters.org You will find that the constitution has shut states out of such laws already.
California just loves making laws to interfere with everyone and to shift blame. Every new law they make seems to say "Oh it's not YOUR fault, it's THEIR fault that your so messed up, why didn't our silly government protect" i.e bad parenting. They also have this silly notion that everything should be put in your mouth at least once, hence why according to California, nearly everything on the planet is known to cause cancer.

How To Make Tempeh
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
If you like store-bought tempeh, just wait until you try fresh nutty-tasting homemade tempeh. You might never go back! Plus, when you make it yourself, you can go way beyond soybeans and customize your tempeh with whatever kinds of legumes and grains you want.
To make tempeh at home, you just need some beans, a spoonful of tempeh starter, and a warm spot in your house. Today we'll walk you through each step of the process, from preparing the beans to cooking it for dinner.
Lunch Recipe: Smoky Spiced Tempeh & Quinoa Salad
Recipes from The Kitchn
Whenever I'm traveling near the little beach town of Morro Bay, California, I make it a point to stop at Shine Cafe to order their "famous tempeh." You can get a scoop of this perfectly seasoned tempeh and quinoa in a salad, in taco form, or as part of a one-bowl meal — any way you get this dish, it's tasty, healthy, and filling. Recently I found myself daydreaming about this amazing tempeh, and while I couldn't transport myself to a quaint fishing village, I was inspired to make my own version. It's so versatile and easy to make ahead that I think it'll become part of my regular lunch rotation.
Soy Alternatives: Substitutes for Tofu, Miso, Soy Sauce and More
If you're allergic to soybeans or want to reduce your consumption of soy for other reasons, foods like tofu, miso, and soy sauce are out. A soy-free diet can be even harder if you're a vegetarian or vegan. Check out this list of soy alternatives and leave your own suggestions in the comments.
Recipe: Brown Rice Bowl with Maple-Glazed Tempeh & Tahini-Miso Dressing
Recipes from The Kitchn
A bowlful of brown rice, tempeh, kale, and other veggies has "health food" written all over it, but in our house we hardly think of this recipe as macrobiotic or vegan or anything else but satisfying. Brimming with the perfect balance of flavors and textures, it satiates the senses and even has my barbecue- and burger-loving guy requesting it for dinner.
Central Soyfoods: Local, Organic Tofu from Lawrence, Kansas
Artisan Review
I used to avoid eating tofu because of the genetically modified organisms found in many soy products and a lack of options for buying it very fresh. But then I moved to Lawrence, Kansas and found the extra firm tofu (and tempeh!) created by longtime local favorite Central Soyfoods. A few reasons they won me over:

Vegetarian Skewers Five Ways
While grilling is traditionally considered a meat-oriented pursuit, there's no need for vegetarians or veg-friendly omnivores to miss out on the pleasures of grill-cooked food. Here are five ideas for building flavorful and filling vegetarian skewers or kabobs, along with some recipes for inspiration.
Recipe: Sweet Potato and Tempeh Stew
Rich and comforting, sweet potatoes are an ideal soup ingredient. Pairing them with tempeh and warm spices makes for an even heartier nutrition-packed meal. With a dollop of tangy yogurt and sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds, this stew can be served on its own or ladled over grains like quinoa for a satisfying fall dinner.

This was a very easy meal to put together, however it really wasn't anything exciting. I agree with another reviewer that there wasn't enough sauce with the chicken, but I probably ended up with more than 2 cups of shredded chicken. I probably wouldn't make again since I didn't find it all that good.

karynmorse Posted: 03/09/11
We doubled the sauce and used all the chicken I could pull off a small rotisserie bird. Delicious and easy! We used Orowheat thin sandwich rounds, which I toasted, and they were the perfect size with a side salad. My 10 year old son had 2!
BridgetteG Posted: 03/07/11
Tasted delicious and SUPER easy to make! The portions seemed a bit small. But with a side salad, it made for a very nice meal!
KristinBaby Posted: 03/16/11
These were really yummy, I made them exactly as written. I will agree with other reviewers, the picture IS a little misleading. The chicken is a lot less saucy than it appears in the photo, but it's still good. I wouldn't change the amount of sauce, just don't expect it to look exactly like the photo. I combined the spice mixture and de-boned a rotisserie chicken ahead of time over the weekend, and this came together in minutes on a weeknight. PERFECT!
JanuaryBride Posted: 02/28/11
I used this sauce on smoked turkey which was a great match. Next time I will leave our the cumin as it really overpowered the rest of the ingredients.
cat111719 Posted: 03/01/11
We had a lot of fun with this recipe. The only thing that marred it were the slider buns. The ones we got were not that good, and they would have been better slightly toasted. We opted for the dill pickles, and I also put out pepper rings. Served it with an asiany broccoli slaw. I always go a little heavier on the seasoning, because we like food with a little heat. Really good, and a great way to use up leftover chicken!
jp0911 Posted: 03/03/11
The flavor of the spice combination was good, but there was definitely not enough liquid. I tried to add a bit of water to the sauce to make it work, but it just didn't. I ended up adding quite a bit of bottled bbq sauce, which totally worked. Not quite sure what to do to make it better next time--maybe doubling the sauce would work?
crusnock Posted: 03/06/11
These were delicious, and so easy to make. We left out the pickles (didn't have on hand) and we used potato slider buns. Will definitely make again!
kikikm Posted: 03/15/11
Really good! I used a full rotisserie chicken, and doubled the sauce. Served w/cole slaw and used regular whole wheat buns. Did not have garlic powder, but threw in a little seasoned salt (just a touch) and it turned out well. My husband ate them up!
travelchickie Posted: 03/16/11
Wish I had these for SuperBowl! Wow, these were delicious! My husband's from the south and said these were some of the most yummy -- and healthy -- sliders he's ever had. My only complaint is that there is not enough sauce and I had to make some more because it was a little dry as is. I would do 1 1/2 times the recipe. The picture is misleading; you don't get that much sauce. I used brioche slider rolls. Great for a party!
Laurie18 Posted: 05/30/11
I made this with leftover roasted chicken we had on hand. I too thought there wasn't enough sauce but it was so intense in flavor and so bite size you didn't really miss it. I used potato slider buns and I couldn't find the pepperidge farm ones. I would make this again.
kaylamayers Posted: 05/17/11
These were delicious. Like everyone else said, they could use a little more sauce. I don't have any other complaints though, because the sauce is truly so good!
BrendaLRGale Posted: 05/14/11
Loved the flavor of the sauce, and I'm not usually into sweet flavors for dinner. It was an easy recipe but not really worth the 10 pts. Carb attack!
livia07 Posted: 07/17/11
I loved this recipe! I never thought it was so easy to make bbq sauce.. this one is delicious! I agree - the sauce is not enough. So I made some extra sauce and it turned out perfect. Loved it!
BeckyBabeLPC Posted: 08/21/11
This is an easy, go-to weeknight recipe. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts which I had cooked earlier. Also, I added about 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes.
dschid Posted: 09/27/11
After reading the other reviews, I doubled the sauce recipe and added twice as much vinegar and also added a little water to the sauce. They were tasty. Served them with caramelized onions and pickled jalapenos. Not bad for an easy weeknight dinner.
mdrake Posted: 01/25/12
Very Tasty. I added a little extra mustard powder
fittoeat123 Posted: 02/29/12
this was a great whole family recipe- i just reduced a little bit of the spices so it would be kid friendly.....we all enjoyed it!
mtbike40 Posted: 02/26/12
I like this chicken, but I had to work on the sauce a little bit to get it to my liking. I like that the chicken was not drenched in the sauce. I would also not skip the bread and butter pickle on top, it was a great little add on that boosted the flavor without a ton of extra calories.
ladyboykins Posted: 10/01/12
Tried this and it was great. I also added a little more water to the sauce and now my children are asking for it again tonight.
emilyrose1234 Posted: 07/18/12
This was a very good recipe, very quick and easy. I used red wine vinegar because I didn't have cider vinegar and it still turned out really good.

Graduate programs in psychology train students to diagnose, treat and prevent mental health disorders. Most psychology graduate programs prepare students to think critically and analytically rather than train them for a specific job or position. Graduates are prepared to work in many industries from elementary, middle and high schools to mental health outpatient facilities and high-risk youth centers or at a private practice.

Psychology Graduate Programs and Curriculum
When identifying which psychology master's program you'd like to attend, the American Psychological Association (APA) recommends asking yourself the following questions:
Most psychology graduate programs prepare students to think critically and analytically rather than train them for a specific job or position. Depending upon the program that you choose, you may need to have an undergraduate degree in psychology. Some programs require a GRE or MAT while some may not. However, admission into any psychology graduate program may be difficult, as the number of applicants usually exceeds the number of open seats in a semester.
A master's degree in psychology typically takes two to three years to complete. To obtain a doctorate in psychology, add on another three to four years. It's important to note that the APA does not accredit master's degree programs in psychology, only doctoral-level psychology programs and the institutions offering those programs.
If you're interested in obtaining a doctoral degree in psychology, you will have to choose between a Psy.D. and a Ph.D. The Ph.D. is the oldest and most widely regarded of the doctoral level degrees and is generally considered a research degree. Students in a Ph.D. program can generally expect to enter a research or academic-based professional field, possibly with a hospital or drug company.
First awarded in the late 1970's, the Psy.D. has been increasing in popularity among universities and graduate students alike. Similar to the M.D. awarded to doctors, a Psy.D. signifies that the student has placed an emphasis on preparing for professional practice rather than extensive research training. According to the APA, about 75 percent of graduate students in psychology earn their Ph.D.
Psychology Career Paths
Once you have obtained your graduate degree in psychology, you are capable of working in many industries from elementary, middle and high schools to mental health outpatient facilities and high-risk youth centers or at a private practice.
Data according to
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Ed.
Psychology Future Job Outlook
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the psychology field should expect a 12 percent increase in jobs by 2018. Those holding doctoral degrees will be at a significant advantage, while those with master's degrees can expect competition in the job market.
Based on the Occupational Employment Statistics Survey done by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean income for a psychologist was approximately $72,540 in May of 2010. Pay levels vary with the industry of employment and the number of years a psychologist has been practicing.
