Looking for Alaska
by John Green YA GRE
Miles "Pudge" Halter is abandoning his safe-okay, boring-life. Fascinated by the
last words of famous people, Pudge leaves for boarding school to seek what a
dying Rabelais called the "Great Perhaps."
Pudge becomes encircled by friends whose lives are everything but safe and
boring. Their nucleus is razor-sharp, sexy, and self-destructive Alaska, who has
perfected the arts of pranking and evading school rules. Pudge falls impossibly
in love. When tragedy strikes the close-knit group, it is only in coming
face-to-face with death that Pudge discovers the value of living and loving

Black Juice
by Margo Lanagan
As part of a public execution, a young boy
forlornly helps to sing his sister
down. . . . A servant learns about grace and loyalty from a mistress who would
rather dance with Gypsies than sit on her throne. . . . A terrifying encounter
with a demonic angel gives a young man the strength he needs to break free of
his oppressor. . . . On a bleak and dreary afternoon a gleeful shooting spree
leads to tragedy for a desperate clown unable to escape his fate.
In each of Margo Lanagan's ten extraordinary stories, human frailty is put to
the test by the implacable forces of dark and light, man and beast. black juice
offers glimpses into familiar, shadowy worlds that push the boundaries of the
spirit and leave the mind haunted with the knowledge that black juice runs
through us all.
I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak
Ed is a 19-year-old loser only marginally connected to the world; he's the
son that not even his mother loves.
his life begins to change after he acts heroically during a robbery. Perhaps
it's the notoriety he receives that leads to his receiving playing cards in the
mail. Ed instinctively understands that the scrawled words on the aces are clues
to be followed, which lead him to people he will help (including some he'll have
to hurt first). But as much as he changes those who come into his life, he
changes himself more. Two particular elements will keep readers enthralled: the
panoply of characters who stream in and out of the story, and the mystery of the
person sending Ed on the life-altering missions.
John Lennon: All I Want Is the Truth, a Photographic Biography
by Elizabeth
Partridge YA 921 Lennon
Award-winning biographer Elizabeth Partridge dives into Lennon's life
from the night he was born in 1940 during a World War II air raid on Liverpool,
deftly taking us through his turbulent childhood and his rebellious rock'n'roll
teens to his celebrated life writing, recording, and performing music with the
Beatles. She sheds light on the years after the Beatles, with Yoko Ono, as he
struggled to make sense of his own artistic life—one that had turned from
youthful angst to suffocating fame in almost a split second.
Partridge chronicles the emotional highs and paralyzing lows Lennon transformed
into brilliant, evocative songs. With striking black-andwhite photographs
spanning his entire life, John Lennon: All I Want Is the Truth is the
unforgettable story of one of rock's biggest legends.
A Wreath for Emmett Till
by Marilyn Nelson j 811 NEL
In 1955, people all over the United States knew that Emmett Louis Till was a
fourteen-year-old African
boy lynched for supposedly whistling at a white woman in Mississippi. The
brutality of his murder, the open-casket funeral, and the acquittal of the men
tried for the crime drew wide media attention. Award-winning poet Marilyn Nelson
reminds us of the boy whose fate helped spark the civil rights movement. This
martyr's wreath, woven from a little-known but sophisticated form of poetry,
challenges us to speak out against modern-day injustices, to "speak what we

of behavioral assessment of transgenic mice see Appendix). Moreover, the improvements in husbandry that support the successful creation of transgenic and genetically modified (GM) colonies, could provide clues for refinement of breeding and husbandry procedures in the non-GM laboratory animal world. This knowledge will enable further investigation into the conditions under which stress or distress do (or do not) alter the course of a disease.
Should IACUCs, preclinical study safety officers, and scientific journal editors establish criteria by which historically acceptable control animals would suffice for statistical comparisons in certain situations? If otherwise scientifically and methodologically valid (more information on the challenges of using historical controls in Chapter 4), such a change would reduce the number of control animals used in potentially or intentionally distress-inducing protocols. Standardization and awareness of key Three Rs-related words and concepts among editors and reviewers would promote their application, especially in refinements. In a similar spirit, could the often useful but underappreciated approach of humans serving as the "animal" model be similarly informative for animal distress situations (Niemi 2006)? For example, could progress in human psychopharmacology enable the extrapolation of new drugs or indications to prevent or relieve distress in laboratory animals?
It is essential to continue the review of currently approved euthanasia methods, discussion of the duration of an animal's distress before loss of consciousness, and research on the applicability of the Three Rs. For example, what refinements in the euthanasia of large populations of animals (e.g., mice) would be nondistressing to the animal as well as cost-effective and safe? The use of high concentrations of carbon dioxide is similarly contentious, as it is perceived by some as likely to be painful while it is also clearly aversive. As a euthanasia agent it may also be distressful even though consciousness probably ceases in less than a minute. Furthermore, debate has focused on the use of cervical dislocation, decapitation, and neck cutting as more appropriate methods of euthanasia with respect to the time needed for the animal to lose consciousness (Hawkins et al. 2006; EFSA 2006; AVMA 2007). Last, scientific interventions should also address the serious emotional effects on personnel who habitually perform euthanasia.
Are there established parameters for a truly optimal husbandry system for each species of laboratory animal and for the genetic lines within those species? Animal care facility managers may wonder, for example, if it is more humane to disturb mice that normally sleep in the daytime for daily health assessments versus observ-

Doesn't Jesus eat fish after the resurrection, help the fisherman catch fish, and serve fish during the multiplication miracle?
First, regardless of whether the fish in these events are actual fish, Christians today must ask ourselves, considering the fact that we have absolutely no physical justification for consuming the flesh of any animals, why we would chose to do so. We know that, biologically and physiologically, fish feel pain in the same way others animals do. We know that eating them is not good for us. Why, for a simple palate preference, would we cause pain and suffering to God's creatures? For more information on fish, visit PETA's pro-fish Web site: NoFishing.net.

Welcome to Our Lady
Queen of the Apostles
Our parish community exemplifies the beautiful words of our Mission Statement: "The Catholic community of Our Lady Queen of the Apostles is a family dedicated to nurturing Christ's love among God's people."
Since the parish was established in 1988, we have grown significantly. Through the generosity of Time, Talent and Treasure of our parishioners, our beautiful new Church was dedicated on December 12, 2009. In fact, we now have more than 2,500 registered families and more than 50 ministries, programs and organizations. A true testament to the activity of our parish is reflected in the 700 students we have in our Religious Education programs and our extremely active Life Teen and middle school youth group.
Above all else, we are a place of worship, reflecting the ideals of sacrifice and service. Our Adoration Chapel is open daily. Enhanced by a strong music program, parishioners enjoy and participate in several choirs including our much-liked Life Teen band. Our liturgical ministries are also thriving - many parishioners serve as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Lectors, Greeters, Altar Servers and Ushers. Our growing community also holds a Spanish Mass every Saturday for our Hispanic community and a Tagalog Mass one Sunday a month.
At Our Lady Queen of the Apostles you will find many opportunities to become an active member and share your time and talents. Our church will be here serving our parishioners and community for generations to come.Read more

Hannah Hart, from the hilarious YouTube series "My Drunk Kitchen," brings us this gem of a video to get us through our midweek slump. She downs some egg nog, tells some gingerbread men she's going to eat them, and starts to make a gingerbread house for the first time ever. "Christmas is a time of challenges," she says optimistically.
Her home turns out fairly colorful (and also roof-less?). A little tip: "Like most homes, hang the occupants from the top of the steeple," she says.

I'm glad to see the building go. Yes, there have been plenty of memories and great players, but that happens at most arenas. At some point, the building becomes outdated and renovation is not feasible. There's no real way they could widen the seats and add leg room without gutting the whole bowl. Can't expand the concourses either. The sad part, to me, is that the Joe is less than 10 years older than the Palace, but they're light-years apart as far as arena quality.
Everything about the new arena says it'll be done correctly, and that's really exciting.

These new English Smash Bros trailers are only SLIGHTLY weirder than the japanese ones.
Link & Pikachu by Noakichi
Terrifying Titan Pokemon
By Beth Emery
I'm prepared for all my select new series for this summer. :)
Every sailor moon fan should have these one ; w ;. You can get it pretty cheap on Harajuku fashion store >w<
I admit, I'm not really that fond of the CGI style of the transformation sequence. While aspects of it are pretty and can look really cool, while it'll look better when we can see it in higher quality, I'm just not a big fan of it, I'd rather have stock-but-beautifully done transformation sequences. That's my one :/ about Sailor Moon Crystal. I do however like that we see her in a leotard that I feel is less sexualized, so I'm totally here for that. I mean, time will still tell, but I'm feeling good about it so far.
I really like the opening, though! I wish there were a bit more to it, but there were so many wonderful and amazing moments in it! The meeting with Mamoru! The girls all in super cute clothing cuddling together! The awesome as hell attacks! The dramatic shots of the girls! Separately and together! Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon being ripped apart! MOON PRIDE IS A SONG THAT I ALREADY LOVE!
The bits of scenes we've seen from the actual anime itself look lovely, that shot of Usagi determinedly sleeping when she doesn't want to talk to Luna looks really beautiful! And seeing her trip down the stairs or Ikuko watching after her or Usagi hurredly putting on her shirt or running down the sidewalk, they all look really lovely! So, right now, my feeling is that the animation will go the opposite way from the original anime—that the transformation sequences will be less than my favorite, but the rest of the animation will look super pretty.
(Not that we should compare, since this isn't meant to be a redo of the original anime. It's an entirely separate animated series, it's based on the manga this time, so we shouldn't compare the stories, but also we shouldn't compare the animation, aside from personal preference. They're both their own thing. :)

Is it too early to have pregnancy symptoms?
Occording to the pregnancy calendar I would be about 1 week. My breasts are sore, I am tired all the time, and I have increased vaginal discharge.

Not to be a downer cuz it is possible but I had gone through fertility and that happened to me, i had all the symptoms of pregnancy that I had with my first son (who is now 9) and it ends up I wasn't pregnant. I was told that the fertility drugs (clomid etc.) can give you the same symptoms of pregnancy. Good luck!posted 04/21/2009 by babyblueyz
I've had so many symptoms I was convinced I was pregnant before a home test would confirm. Breast growth, tenderness, excess salivation (which I had no clue would happen) eating less but more often... etc. Once I finally got a very faint line, I went in for a blood test and that was negative. I'm heartbroken. A few days later, still no period and now I'm cramping like crazy. I usually don't cramp this badly. I "know" I'm pregnant, but I won't alow myself to get excited until I get a positive test!posted 06/08/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I knew I was pregnant about a week ago, because i wasn't feeling myself. I took a test last night and it was positive, so i'm 3 1/2 weeks, and i took the home test that lets you know 5 days earlier. If you feel different i think you should take a test.posted 02/13/2010 by Kthy09
I am 4 weeks and have been feeling symptoms, such as nausea w/ occasional vomiting and increased discharge. I conceived during my first intercourse when the condom broke and have missed my period for the first time since it started. I'm 19 and a freshman in college. I'm nervous and have mixed feelings about this situation. I took three home pregnancy tests which all tested negative. My friends have said that it's most likely my mind telling me that i'm pregnant which causes me to feel the symptoms. I want to believe that to be the case, but I know my body very well and my cycles have always run like clock work. My period has not showed up for five days now. I can't think of any other possible reason that explains the change in appetite for certain foods, the mid-day sickness, the fact that I can't stay in a pier 1 store (like I usually can) for more than two seconds without feeling overwhelmed and nauseous. I'm sleepy all of the time too. Does any one have some advice for me? Help!posted 01/26/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Oh most definitely. I could feel the change in my body, and though my husband was the one who suspected I was pregnant I too chalked it up to PMS. I look back now and think "Duh!". Also... a woman can still have her period during the first few months of pregnancy, so don't be surprised if you still have your cycle but an ultrasound tells the story.posted 01/27/2011 by puppydaze1
So very possible you should see the doctor I was the same way with my daughter, I knew long before a test said so.posted 09/29/2007 by Ruby Jeans Mommy!
I am NO expert...I am only passing along what I have read in WTEWYAE. Apparently your pregnancy starts on the first day of your last period, so at one week...you aren't technically pregnant yet. Now if you are 3-4 weeks pregnant then you are actually only "with child" for one week. That is why they say that full term is between 37 and 40 weeks. BUT yes, I had morning sickness from the second day of my second week of being "with child" and I was sick until my daunted was 6 months old. Gallstones/hormonal changes etc... So if you are feeling pregnant very early...it happens. You're not imagining this. I hope you don't feel insulted buy what I wrote. This info really helped me understand my pregnancy timeline. Hope it helps!posted 11/09/2010 by MissOliviasMommy
The thing to consider here is every woman and every pregnancy is different. So any symptoms for you this early could be totally normal. Congrats & Good luck!posted 03/03/2011 by sayruh615
I love seeing this! Makes me feel so much better. I knew the day after that I was pregnant. I could sleep all day (which is very unlike me).. I have slight cramps & I never experience these during my period and have been constipated & gassy since the day after. I still have not taken a test, but I KNOW. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy but I don't care. Yay! :)posted 01/27/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Yes!! This is my third pregnancy (one two year old and one miscarriage at 6 week) and I am 4 weeks confirmed but I knew a few days after ovulation, with each pregnancy I get headaches first just a couple dpo and then cramps in week 2 and 3. I was also super emotional by the middle of week two and everyone thought I was crazy because they said I couldn't feel anything that soon. I'll admit there were days I thought I was crazy and projecting symptoms into my mind. But I was so convinced! I took three tests before the 3 week mark all negative and then finally at 3 weeks and 3 days I got the positive result I knew I would. Trust your body. :)posted 09/06/2012 by 09TahoeLove21

12 Piano notes made visible for the first time
Shannon Novak, a New Zealand-born fine artist, commissioned us to image 12 piano notes as inspiration for a series of 12 musical canvases. We decided to image the notes in video mode because when we observed the 'A1' note we discovered, surprisingly, that the energy envelope changes over time as the string's harmonics mix in the piano's wooden bridge. Instead of the envelope being fairly stable, as we had imagined, the harmonics actually cause the CymaGlyphs to be wonderfully dynamic. Our ears can easily detect the changes in the harmonics and the CymaScope now reveals them—probably a first in acoustic physics.

Meghan McCain Criticizes Bristol Palin, GOP, Abstinenceby Free Britney at . Comments
Their parents were paired together on the Republican ticket in the 2008 election. Now Meghan McCain and Bristol Palin are both speaking up on premarital sex.
Bristol, a teen mom and the daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is now a "teen ambassador" for the Candie's Foundation, and an advocate for abstinence.
You cannot make this stuff up.
Meghan McCain doesn't see eye-to-eye with her counterpart, though.
Senator John McCain's daughter, 24, says that Bristol Palin has a right to her opinion and she respects it, but there's a lot more to consider on the topic of sex.
"Daughters of Republican politicians aren't expected to have sex, let alone enjoy it - as if there were some chastity belt automatically attached to us female offspring," she writes in her column for The Daily Beast.
"God forbid that anyone talk realistically about life experiences and natural, sexual instincts. Nope, the answer is always abstinence."
So if Meghan McCain is not advocating abstinence only, like Bristol Palin is, what is her proposed solution to prevent unwanted teenage pregnancies?
"Honestly, the key is communication between parents and children. At the end of the day, the worst thing parents can do is raise children who are not prepared for the situations they may encounter, especially when they're not planned," she says.
And she's not taking it easy on her dad's party either.
"Unfortunately, Republicans typically don't like to discuss or deal with things they think are wrong or immoral. And that's a huge mistake," she writes in her column, appropriately called "The GOP Doesn't Understand Sex."
"If we can't discuss birth control in addition to abstinence, in a non-judgmental way, kids will make bad choices for lack of access to informed, safe options."
So what she's saying is, teens may have unprotected sex, get knocked up, be forced into sham engagements to their thuggish baby-daddies, and have their allowance raised if they agree to become spokespersons for sham abstinence groups?
Makes sense to us. Click to enlarge more Meghan McCain pictures ...
I agree with you Meghan. Bristol is by no means an example to follow, much less to be a spokesperson for abstinence! She didn't practice it, she also said previously that it doesn't work! Duh! Now, she's getting paid to recommed it? Truly a sham! Shame on Candies and Briston.
Why can't you discuss a matter like sex education without making snide personal comments about Bristol Palin? She has as much of a right to her opinion on this matter as you or Meghan McCain. In fact, she has more informed life experiences about the consequences of choices than either of you.It is this personal nastiness and condescension that pollutes intelligent discussion about important national issues and drives polarization in our country today. Shame on those who betray the lst Amendment for their own personal agendas.

Don't Forget Me Lyrics - Smash Cast
Review The Song (3)
They thought they could dispose of me
They tried to make me small
I suffered each indignity
But now rise above it all
Yes, the price I paid was all I had
But at last, I found release
And if something good can come from bad
The past can rest in peace
Oh if you see someone's hurt
And in need of a hand
Don't forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
You don't forget me
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free
Please say that you won't;
sponsored linksI pray that you don't forget me
But forget every man who I ever met
'Cause they only lived to control
For a kiss they paid a thousand
Yet they paid fifty cents for my soul
They took their piece
The price of fame that no one can repay
Ah, but they didn't buy me when they bought my name
And that is why I pray
That when you see someone's hurt
And in need of a hand
You don't forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
You don't forget me
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free
Please say that you won't;
I pray that you don't forget me
There are some in this world who have strength on their own
Never broken or in need of repair
But there are some born to shine who can't do it alone
So protect them and take special care
Take care
And don't forget me
Please take care
And don't forget me
When you look to the heavens with someone you love
And a light shining bright from afar
Hope you see my face there
And then offer a prayer
And please let me be
Let me be that star

Unbelievable song and TV show | Reviewer: Ann from Burbank | 6/20/12
Love the song. It couldn't depict Marilyn any better. I can listen to it over and over and feel sad and triumphant for Marilyn. Katherine McPhee us unbelievable. Can't wait for next season.

Don't forget us, the viewers. If NBC doesn't
1) Eventually bring the entire (Broadway) show to TV -or-
2) Put it on "Tour" across the United States

Architects' sources of inspiration are often surprising, but none more so than the trigger for the Rogers and Piano Pompidou Centre. Cedric Price's Fun Palace is often cited but, according to a recent radio programme, another portly, well-loved figure also played a key role. Discoursing on the charms of Rupert Bear, the presenter revealed that the check-trousered one was important to Rogers' vision of the Pompidou.

The ability to solve a problem, clarify a situation or simply have a productive conversation relies heavily in the questions we ask ourselves or our collaborators. Depending on the starting point we choose we might frame the problem in the wrong way, encourage openness and honesty, or miserably fail in obtaining what we want to know. We could get the facts or get lost in useless information never getting to the point that we are interested in.
Here is a little reminder about how to start a question to get exactly what we want from ourselves and others.
What?, Who?, When?, Where? These are fact based question starters, they will give you information as perceived by the respondent. Great journalists wield these questions with incredible precision.
Why? An answer to this question might tell you about the inner motivations, or higher principles, according to one's character. Do not use Why? if you need the facts. Use it if you want to encourage people to tell something more about themselves.
Can? Typical example of when not to use a question at all: If you want someone to do something, don't ask them if they can. Tell them.
Should? Speaking of guilt… This little word is loaded with needs and "have to's", it's not very empowering from the receiving end.
Would? Again, use with caution: the answer to that question might be: "No, thanks!".
How to? What might be all the ways? These are some typical open-ended questions. These starters will help you create many possibilities. They assume that there are many ways to solve a problem, tricking the mind to find them all, one by one.
So, use your question starters in a smart way. The answer might be right in front of you, but you need the right question to grab it!

It's Not Only What You Do, But How You Do It.
By Sharon de Korte
A friend of mine recently asked me 'What role does experience have in breakthrough innovation? 'The question stopped me in my tracks. Of course, experience does play a role in breakthrough innovation but the answer really isn't that simple.
Three elements that I focus on to enhance creativity play off and support creative thinking: knowledge, curiosity and imagination. It is through the synergy of these elements that breakthrough innovation can be nurtured and innovation developed through deliberate evaluation of ideas.
Knowledge is often where we start as we are looking to develop new things. It is the lens through which we see the world. And knowledge is built from our experiences — what we have done, places we have been, people we have met. We can say that the more experiences we have the more knowledge we develop — but that's only part of the story. Having experiences and learning from them are not the same. It is important to take the time to pay attention to what is happening and why it is happening. Deeper observation — using all the senses — can give new richness to an experience.
Earlier this week we were in the country looking at the fall foliage. Seeing the colors from the car window was beautiful. We saw incredible patterns and beautiful trees. But when we got out of the car the experience was so much richer — the sound of walking on the fallen leaves, the smell of the slightly damp leaves, the sounds of them underfoot and the babbling brook in the distance — these are the experiences that inspire.
When learning from others, another aspect of experience is listening with an open mind and open heart. Think about the last time you were having a conversation with someone or even watching something on TV. Which of the following are you doing?
Deepening our experience with the experience is where real learning or knowledge building can take place.
But if it was only up to knowledge then the most creative people would also be the most knowledgeable. We know that's not true since children are generally considered highly creative and we know that they don't have the most knowledge. So why is that?
What is it that children have over adults that drives them to be more creative? I believe it's their attitude: a curious spirit that provides the spark, and opens up their minds to new thinking.
Children are open to learning and exploring the world. They don't have a preconceived notion of what things 'should' be, since they genuinely don't know. But what happens to adults is that our knowledge gets in the way. We start assuming we know something and then we stop looking for new ways. It is important that we use the knowledge we have as a starting place for to enhance our curiosity rather than squelch it. No matter how much we know or don't know, if we are arrogant then we won't learn more compared to taking a humble attitude that opens us to new learning.
Sometimes we don't even realize that this is happening. Habits help us be productive — we need our habits — but often we don't even realize what we are missing. Our minds and muscles develop habits so that things are easier for us to do. But as soon as that happens, we are no longer thinking about how to do better.
New technology is a perfect example of this. There is so much new technology that is being designed to make our lives easier. However, in order to take advantage of these things we have to change the way we do something. My brother recently showed me that when I open my iPhone, if I push the little camera icon up, it opens the camera right away. It used to take me several steps to do the same thing. Now, why didn't I ever think: 'there has to be a faster way to do this?'
Don't miss this: remembering to ask that question is a habit, too.
If we are truly open to a new way of doing things, we are going to be more flexible if something changes. If something changes and we take the attitude that there is one way to do it then all of a sudden we won't know what to do. But if we take a curious attitude and ask 'how might we solve this with what we have?' we are open to finding a breakthrough approach.
Curiosity will open us to surprises. I met my new husband on an Internet dating site. When I started dating, I thought I knew the type of person I wanted to meet but I didn't want that to stop me from exploring the new world of possibilities. Rather than making a list of requirements, I thought: let me see who I meet. By being curious, I met someone who captures my sense of adventure with a passion for the world in a way that I would never have imagined — and never would have found had I made a list of husband criteria.
And that brings us to imagination. Knowledge and attitude are important but breakthrough thinking won't happen without imagination.
The first step to accessing our imagination is to change the question. If we are asking ourselves the same question, we are most likely going to get the same answer. Sometimes we are so focused on accomplishing a goal that we lose sight of what we are trying to do. Whatever the challenge, just asking two simple questions can help to engage your imagination:
These two simple questions will recast the challenge and open thinking to new possibilities. It helps get to the essence of the problem which may have been evasive.
Similarly, challenging your assumptions about the problem helps breakthrough creative roadblocks. Think about the times when you have said 'I can't do that!' and then you see someone else is doing exactly that. In a recent conversation with a friend, she was telling me that she didn't have enough time for something she wanted to do since she had to clean out her closet. I couldn't help but think that it was merely her assumption that her closet needed to be organized. Maybe someone else with a closet in the same state wouldn't think that it needed cleaning. Next time you say something that you think is 'a fact,' simply ask yourself, 'what if that wasn't true?'
The most important thing about experience is not what it is but what we bring to it. We need to ask ourselves: Are we having this experience or is the experience having us? Are we taking a curious attitude to approach this situation or do we think we know the answer already? And,are we engaging our imagination or just seeing what we always see?
But all that isn't enough to get to breakthrough innovation. They come together through evaluation — having creative ideas isn't the be all and end all to have creative breakthroughs. It is critical to evaluate and refine the ideas to develop workable solutions to the challenge.
To answer my friend's original question: What role does experience play in breakthrough innovation? Experience is certainly important, but more important is how we have experiences, and what we do with the experience we have.

Update (July 2013): Since we've put this list up, some of these ideas have become quite real, others, we've discovered, have been around for quite some time. Keep the ideas flowing : )
Insights in Idea Generation
Most often when we start to come up with ideas to solve a problem, whether we're alone or collaborating with a group, we evaluate the ideas as they come up. Consequently we stop at the first good idea. A better way is to defer evaluation, and just list out ideas, hundreds of ideas! Amongst many ideas there will be some real gems. Also, what's typical during idea generation is for people to think of the typical ideas first and for novelty to emerge later in the process. Next time you're faced with a challenge that requires some imagination to solve, try generating a hundred ideas for how to solve it.
Lastly, some of the crazy ideas above are real in some form or another, can you guess which ones?

"If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be 'meetings'."
– Dave Barry, "Things That It Took Me 50 Years to Learn"
What is one of the most common barriers to innovation?
During most innovation workshops that I facilitate, at some point I'll ask the group, what are the barriers to innovating here?
One of the most common answers given is "we don't have enough time to innovate."
When I follow up with the question, well what is one of most unproductive uses of your time in this organization? The most common answer is – yup, You guessed it. Meetings.
Think about your own work life for a moment. Think about the last five meetings you attended at work. Would you say they were engaging? productive? A good use of your time and your fellow colleagues' time?
Chances are, you answered that at least one in three of those meetings was a complete waste of your time. If so, don't fret you are not alone.
Did you know?
In surveys conducted — in the US alone - where approximately 11,000,000 meetings are held every week as many as 25–50% of those meetings are characterized by those attending them as a waste of time.*
Not only that. Here's one more bit of bad meeting news. An MIT Sloan Management study showed that the more time employees spend in unproductive meetings, the more dissatisfied they are with their work and more likely they are to quit their jobs. Ouch.
(*source: MIT Sloan Management: The Science and Fiction of Meetings: Winter 2007)
So if you really want to free up some time to innovate, one of the best ways to do so is to clear out some space to innovate. And one of the quickest ways to do that is a meeting audit!
What is a Meeting Audit and how do I conduct one?
The purpose of a meeting audit is to identify meetings that you can stop holding (or attending) or that you can shorten which will free up time. A deliberate meeting audit takes about 30 minutes with a team and many teams find that they can cut about 20% of the total meetings they hold or attend on a monthly basis.
To conduct a meeting audit, gather your team (and you can do this alone if you work independently)
Got concerns?
Now you may be thinking, there is no way that we can stop holding that monthly x meeting! People will flip. It's too important. Well one suggestion is not to kill the meeting all together – take a break from holding or attending meeting for a month and see if people really miss it. If they do, you can always reinstate it (and hopefully make some changes to make it more productive). If its not missed it, then you can officially kill it!
Time to Innovate: Next Step
So if you want to innovate and you think you don't have enough time, why not conduct a meeting audit? You'll deliberately clear out some much needed space and time from your schedule and overcome one of the most frequently cited barriers to innovation!

A short while ago, we conducted an informal survey of business leaders to explore how they perceived creativity, innovation and problem solving. We found that:
Considering these common perceptions, let us look at a simple framework for turning problem solving into innovation utilizing a little bit of creativity.
Traditional problem solving has 4 phases or steps.
The above steps tend to work perfectly for many problems, especially the ones that don't require a very innovative solution. However, if you need to work on a problem that would benefit from a little creativity and imagination, try capitalizing on the four opportunities for innovation (one for each problem solving step).
Reframe the Problem
Instead of simply clarifying the situation, find new ways to interpret the issue. Seek unique perspectives from those who don't embrace the common understanding of the problem.
Originate New Ideas
Stop looking for the right answer and start looking for lots of interesting options. Think about it - If you find the most obvious and straightforward answer you are pretty much guaranteed to get the most common results. If you are really after innovation you must look for a different type of solution.
Enhance the Plan
Two companies can pursue essentially the same idea, with vastly different approaches (…think Encarta vs. Wikipedia). Innovation isn't just about what we're doing, it's also about how we do things. New approaches generate new types of results and new opportunities.
Improvise During Implementation
Planning is a valuable process, but we must remain open to change as we execute the plan. Along the way we will face unforeseen obstacles and gain new insights. Remain flexible and adaptive during implementation. Be open to stumbling upon new value by continuously learning from the implementation processes' successes and failures.
Using some tried and tested tools and techniques individuals and groups can capitalize on these four opportunities for innovation.
Use the comments to tell us about your success innovating around the 4 opportunities or which opportunity most interests you and we'll share the respective tools you need to get creative.

This week, as conservative insurgents take their seats in Congress, I can't help but think that my old boss, the late Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), would be thrilled. Before there was a Tea Party there was the New Right, and Helms was its most successful leader. He turned his surprise election in 1972 into a three-decade run driving the Washington establishment crazy. Were Helms still alive, he would have some advice for the GOP class of 2010.
- Ignore the national media. Once when the New York Times wrote a nasty editorial about Helms, I drafted a vigorous rebuttal. Helms smiled at me kindly and said, "Son, just so you understand: I don't care what the New York Times says about me, and nobody I care about cares what the New York Times says about me." The liberal elites were powerless over Helms because he simply did not care what they said. Neither should you.
- Embrace obstruction. Before they dubbed Republicans the "Party of No," the Left dubbed Helms "Senator No." He wore the moniker as a badge of honor. He was unafraid to block bad nominees, bad legislation and bad treaties. If you do the same, the federal bureaucracy will come to fear you--and you will stop bad things from happening without lifting a finger. One State Department official reportedly kept a picture of Helms on the wall behind his desk--a reminder that "that S.O.B. is always looking over my shoulder."
Helms understood that some ideas before the Senate are irredeemably flawed and need to be killed. But Helms also practiced"constructive obstruction"--such as the time he blocked the confirmation of all U.S. ambassadors until the Clinton administration agreed to negotiate on his State Department reform legislation. Eventually the administration got its ambassadors and Helms got the dismantlement of the U.S. Information Agency and the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Learn to obstruct constructively.
- Learn the rules. Helms was able to say no because he mastered the rules. If you do the same, you can tie the Senate in knots and force important votes. Once, Helms was doing just that in late December, when a senator approached him and said"Jesse, if you don't relent we're going to be here singing 'Silent Night.'" Helms replied,"If I don't get my vote, we're going to be singing 'Auld Lang Syne.'" He got his vote.
- Don't be afraid to wage losing battles. Helms often said,"The good Lord does not expect you to win, he just expects you to try." At times you might find yourself a minority not just in Congress, but within your own party. Who cares? Do what you believe is right. Like Helms, you will find that if you stand on principle, many battles you lose today you will win years later as the country moves your way.
- Be a happy warrior. Helms was once asked by a reporter if he would allow Massachusetts Gov. William Weld to be confirmed as ambassador to Mexico. Helms winked and replied:"No way, Jose." Take tough stands, but do it with a smile instead of a scowl.
- Be kind. Helms was hated by the left but beloved in the U.S. Senate. He always invited the Senate pages for ice cream in the senators' dining room, and he would keep the king of Jordan waiting if he saw a group of tourists in the Capitol who looked lost ("Have you come to visit your money?" he would ask). He was kind to liberals and conservatives, senators and elevator operators, and especially to his own staff, whom he referred to as his"Senate family." A reputation for kindness will serve you well--especially when you are forcing colleagues to take uncomfortable votes or miss their flights home.
- Focus on constituent service. The people of North Carolina gave Helms the freedom to fight for his beliefs, even when they disagreed, because they knew that no one would fight harder for them when they needed him. You won't be around long to oppose runaway spending if you don't making helping your constituents your top priority.
- Don't forget values. Helms was a spending hawk, but he also believed that"we will not long survive as a nation unless and until we restore the moral and spiritual principles that made America great in the first place." As you fight for fiscal responsibility, don't forget to fight for the unborn and the traditional family, which is the foundation of our society.
Jesse Helms was the original conservative insurgent. Follow his example, and you will leave a lasting mark in Washington. You may even shut down a government agency or two.

Extreme creature actor, Brian Steele, sits down with FDTC's Mr. Chainsaw to discuss his role playing one of cinema's most iconic and memorable monsters in the Robert Rodriguez produced, Predators.
Mr. Chainsaw: As a trained theater actor, you've made your career almost exclusively playing costumed characters and creatures in such films as Hellboy I and II, Resident Evil: Extinction, Underworld: Evolution, and Terminator: Salvation. Was this a conscious decision on your part or is it simply how things played out for you?
Mr. C: Can you tell us what it was like working with director Nimrod Antal?
Mr. C:Aside from Predators, you also recently starred in the upcoming, Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, based off the highly acclaimed Italian comic book series, Dylan Dog. What can you tell us about your role in that project, which also stars Peter Stormare, Taye Diggs, Sam Huntington, and Brandon Routh?
Mr. C: What do you think of the current convention scene and getting to travel and meet so many of your fans? Do you have any particularly interesting stories about reactions from fans while on the circuit?

DOWNERS GROVE | It seemed as if the game was played in black-and-white and in the mud instead of artificial turf.
Saturday's Class 7A quarterfinal playoff game between Mount Carmel and Downers Grove North had that feeling.
The Caravan prevailed, 7-0, in a steady drizzle which picked along with the wind in the fourth quarter.
"Yeah, it would have been more fun in the mud," Caravan defensive tackle Enoch Smith said. "It kind of felt like we were playing in one of those (throwback) games."
Smith, a Michigan State recruit, fellow defensive linemen Steve Richardson, a Minnesota recruit, and Deandre Greer helped slam the door on the Trojans as they stopped the run and put constant pressure on quarterback David Edwards.
On a day when Mount Carmel's offense was less sharp as expected — and credit to Downers Grove North's defense too — the Caravan made stop after stop. They held the Trojans to 22 yards of total offense. They did not allow a first down until there was 10:51 left in the game.
"We told them they had to step up because on a day like today, seven points can win a game and it did," Caravan defensive coordinator David Lenti said. "Enoch, Steve and Deandre Greer, didn't give up anything up front. We got good penetration all day long.
"They certainly make my job a lot easier."
Lenti said he would have liked a little more of a cushion.
"It would have been better if it was 10-0," he said.
This was a defense that recorded its fifth shutout of the season and this is the eighth time it has held an opponent to single-digit scoring. The defense was airtight in a second-round win over St. Rita on Nov. 8 at Gately Stadium, but had two lapses that resulted in scores. Saturday, the defense was as sharp as the offense was sluggish.
"We knew we had to come up big, rainy day, not too good of conditions," Richardson said. "We got help from our linebackers and defensive backs. They did a nice job of covering receivers and when we did miss a tackle, they were right there to make the play."
Mount Carmel (11-1) will play at Edwardsville in one semifinal game. The Caravan's score was set up by one of three interceptions. Marquise Peggs picked off a pass and it culminated with Marko Boricich hitting Sam Connolly for an 11-yard score with 1:20 left in the first half.
"I read the quarterback's eyes and saw he was focusing on the receiver my way," Peggs said. "I just cut in front of him and made the play."
Teammate Christian Searles had two picks. The second one came with 44 seconds left and the Trojans trying to drive for a potential game-tying score.
"Both of my picks were because our D-line put a lot of pressure on the quarterback," Searles said. "They hurried him all game. I was just there and made the play."
Head coach Frank Lenti said the offense has to get into sync.
"How many times did we stop ourselves?" Lenti asked. "Our first two drives we turn it over on downs. We just had to many miscues on offense."

history down to one tweet,

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990, by President George H. W. Bush. Kim Nielsen comments:
"When the ADA was first introduced in Congress in 1988, people with disabilities, advocates, and family members from all over the country shared their stories of discrimination, harassment, and inaccessibility. They also shared their dreams of what a truly accessible democracy could mean. Those with HIV/AIDS shared their stories of how homophobia and ableism often combined in fiercely destructive ways.… The ADA forbids employment, access, housing, and educational discrimination against people with disabilities."
