"Laugh Out Loud Funny"
In a blending of Forest Gump meets Baron Munchausen meets Lao Tzu, mild mannered and apolitical Allan Karlsson manages to have an impact on his times, even if no one knows his name. Whether having exceptionally bad luck and hardship, or experiencing the most providential escapes, through it all he accepts whatever comes his way because, as his father pointed out, "whatever will be will be." Fatalistic acceptance forms the core of his character as he goes from one adventure to the next through a very long and very eventful life. Loads of fun.
"A Witty Romp Through the 20th Century"
A fun read, a light read.
And at times funny enough to debilitate me with laughing. This book is essentially a globe trotting, Swedish, highly intelligent Forrest Gump. Numerous events in the man's past and present life are a series of inexplicable events of luck and randomness.
Not much more to say, if that is up your alley, get this book.
"As a whole - not a good book"
I agree with many others who say that the story idea is a cute idea and at times it is funny and totally unbelievable. I love history but his version put me to sleep! The story of the main character running away from a retirement home is very believable but the series of events are just so far out there that it make the story boring. There was some entertainment value but not much.
I don't know about you, but why are there so so so many 5 star reviews. I LOVE books, but so few are 5 star.
"Positive entertainment"
By that I mean the positive attitude and it was absolutely entertaining.
I was looking for something a little less dark and depressing. It seems most mystery writers right now are a writing from bleakness. Even with tragedy every day life if rarely so black.
This was refreshing, funny, historical, a little bit of an intelligent Forest Gump. If you like history and being reminded life doesn't have to suck all the time, give it a shot. In my humble opinion worth the price of admission.
i like to read. i like to listen.
"fun romp with great amusing characters"
loved this story. laughed out loud so much while listening to it. it's one of those madcap stories with a zany mix of characters who bring absolute perfection to their specific roles in the story.
i love the hundred-year-old man...and i love his story. finding out his past, and how he rubbed elbows with presidents and world leaders just made it even more humorous.
the narrator was perfect -- a dry english gentleman's voice telling this silly little story.
this is the kind of book that your read to put a smile on your face, and don't want to take it too seriously.
"What a hoot!"
I was looking for something lighter as a counter-point to some of the books I had just finished and stumbled upon this delightful story. I was uncertain about it but thought that I did not have much to lose since it was a Daily Deal and seemed like just the thing to lighten my mood.
To my utter surprise it was a delightful choice. Allan Karlsson is a quirky guy who is just not ready to be finished with life at 100 and misses his vodka. His adventure involving thieves, police, friends and the high and mighty is something not to be missed. I found myself laughing, chuckling and smiling throughout the entire book and especially during the windup as the protagonists are telling their tale to the Prosecuting Attorney.
This was the most delightful book I have read since A Dirty Job and Gods Behaving Badly and I recommend it highly to those with a taste for the light and quirky. The narration is excellent, the story is delightful and the experience is well worth the time spent in listening.
People say I resemble my dog (and vice-versa). He can hear sounds I can't hear, but I'm the one who listens to audiobooks.
"This Box of Chocolates is Empty at its Core"
This book is so much like Forrest Gump, that I can title my review and answer this question by referring to one of the best-known lines from Gump. If life is a box of chocolates to Allan Karlsson, this book's Forrest, it is unfortunately empty at its core. Or more precisely, he (Allan) is empty at his core. His adventures, past and present, are built as much on improbable coincidence as Forrest's, but he doesn't bring anything to them other than his unquenchable thirst for vodka.
Forrest, admittedly not the brightest shrimp in the Gulf, at least has a heart and is capable of learning important lessons along the way, lessons that progressively hurtle him forward in his story. Allan doesn't learn anything, doesn't want to learn anything, doesn't get anywhere in his 100 years of life, despite his encounters with Stalin, Churchill, Mao, Truman, LBJ, Nixon, DeGaulle, Kim Il-Sung, the Manhattan Project, and Albert Einstein's Dumber Brother. Indeed, the story ends with Allan cheerily agreeing to reprise his biggest mistake in life for the third time.
With everything else in this book bordering on the wonderful, the change it so desperately needs is for Allan, the main character, to have character, to have something beneath his shell, anything, good or evil or ambivalent. It's really hard to have a main character who is completely undeveloped as a character, whose sole motivation is to locate his next bottle. I'm guessing that's the point -- that Allan is a blank canvas, a mirror that reflects only what you want to see. But the story suffers as a result, needlessly, as demonstrated by Forrest Gump, a protagonist every bit as much of a mirror, but with character, heart, and development.
Despite all that, I would recommend this book to friends and let them draw their own conclusions. Clearly, this book is popular and mine is a minority opinion. Even with my major personal caveat, there is much to enjoy about it -- the humor, obviously, and the lesson in 20th century world history that takes Americans to countries and into events that are well beyond the scope of the American History we are normally exposed to, as in Forrest Gump.
I almost always answer this question by choosing the protagonist, especially one as central to the story as Allan. But that is out of the question here. Allan is completely blank. By contrast, almost all of the minor characters are interesting -- from the present day part of the story, I really like the way Crossley performs The Beauty, and from the past, the bombastic world leaders are fun to listen to, especially Stalin, Truman, LBJ and DeGaulle.
A Swedish adaptation has already been made. I will see it when it reaches America. Perhaps the filmmaker and lead actor will bring more life to Allan than the author.
One last note: The book is structured so that most of the first half is in the present and most of the second half is in the pages of history. There is reason to like both threads of the story, but since I personally enjoyed the history more than the pedestrian present-day plot, I found myself liking it more as the story progressed, though my frustration with Allan as a character grew as we stepped back into history.
"Great story, well read"
Sure, I would. It was a blast, and the reader did a fine job (especially pronouncing all of those Swedish/foreign names that I would have struggled with).
It reminded me of Forrest Gump (the movie, I haven't read the book) and I'm sure comparisons have already been made, but it also had the humor (sometimes dark humor) of light Monty Python. I'm not sure if I can think of anything that would serve as a direct comparison.
Allan, the main character.
Moved me to roll on the floor laughing out loud? Sure. Allan's first meeting with Stalin, his escape from prison in Tehran, when Mr. Dollars tried to land the plane in Bali. Too many to mention
New to audible but love the convenience of listening to books while doing mundane household tasks. Mother of 3 whose nest is 2/3 empty as the grown children move on to bigger and better things.
"Geriatric hero"
There was some interesting parts of this book but I found it went on a bit too long and I lost interest. I loved the main character and his spirit as well as his interesting past but that is where my love for the book ends.
I guess I might try one more to be fair before I rule it out entirely.
I actually think my favorite scene was the very first one where he slipped out to avoid his 100th birthday party that he did not want. It pleased me when the nasty nurse couldn't find him.
I always like learning about real historical events through a novel like this so I did like all of the stories about his past.
Although this book wasn't my favorite read, there were people in my Book Club who thought it was one of the best books they've read so give it a try.
Lost for English Words
"A real charmer!"
A quirky, good-humored, informative romp through some of the main events of 20th Century history following the steps of a spry, philosophical 100-year-old retiree who invariably manages to land on his feet, no matter how tight the spot. One of the most charming books I have ever come across! The narration by Steven Crossley was an added enhancement. I loved it!

My review is long overdue as my husband and I visited in September. All I can say is WOW! Hotel le Fontanelle was definitely one of the high points of our trip and we are definitely coming back in the next few years. Everyone who worked at the hotel was so accomodating and polite. The food was excellent although I highly recommend taking their complimentary Vespa around the Chianti region and visiting the local wineries and stopping for lunch. Our only regret was not staying long enough. We would have skipped out on Venice and stayed longer in Sienna if we had known in advance.

It is necessary that the satellite transponder has ability to suppress interferences for reliable communications in real applications, specially military areas. Adaptive interference suppression methods using transform domain approach are presented for an on-board filter bank in this paper. The three kinds of algorithms to compute the threshold level are jointly evaluated with the notch filter or the clipper under different interfered environments. From simulation results, it is verified that the proposed methods are helpful to overcome the performance degradation due to interferences. Especially, Notch-Alg. 2 which uses the notch filter and the sample mean of energies of frequency bins shows the best bit error rate (BER) performance in all considered interferences.

HP w2207h monitor[ Edited ]
02-21-2010 08:58 PM - edited 02-21-2010 11:17 PM
SOLVED!! Figured this out on my own! Thanks anyway for those who maybe read it...
Help!! I have had my HP w2207h monitor work flawlessly for over a year. But over the past 48 hours, the following occurs when I try to turn this monitor on:
1) The Monitor Status box appears reading: VGA No Input Signal
"No Input Signal" is highlighted regardless whether VGA or HDMI is selected.
2) The Monitor Status box quickly disappears followed by "Monitor Going To Sleep." Which the monitor promptly does, i.e., it remains blank and any kind of solutions I've tried (many!) just result in the preceding cycle repeating itself.
The only possible connection between the monitor and my HP a6417c CPU is VGA. I have unplugged it, checked for bent pins, replugged, turned off & on numerous times - all with no response.
I cannot exercise any solutions that require use of the monitor, for example, by switching video input with the onscreen menu system, since the OSM (menu) does NOT appear when I press this button on the monitor. (This was suggested in HP's posted, "Flat Panel Monitor Displays Message about No Signal, Signal out of Rane, Sleep...")
I have files I desperately need to access for work SOON. Any ideas or does this sound like a hardware glitch?? Thanks!!
Re: HP w2207h monitor
Please tell me the solution you found to this problem! This is EXACTLY the problem we are having, how do I fix it???

Try the monitor on another computer if possible.
I suspect either your video card if you have one or the motherboard. No signal or monitor going to sleep means that no video signal is being sent to the monitor. If you don't have a video card then buying one to fit your PC is an option.
If your PC is still under warranty then contact HP Support.
HP's support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or online here.
Try this procedure:
Unplug the PC and open it up. Clean out all the dust. Carefully remove and replace all the cables going to the motherboard one at a time. Do the same for the memory dimms and the video and sound cards if you have any. Plug your PC back in a give it a go.

Re: HP w2207h monitor
Great job solving it on your won Taylor1950. You posted that you solved the problem on your own......however, like you there are some of us that have yet to figure out the problem. Could you please post a solution to you monitor problem.
It would be greatly appreciated.
Re: HP w2207h monitor
Sorry for being inconsiderate! After the monitor issue resolved, I got buried in work. Lousy excuse, I know.
Anyhow, I have learned that I am not the only person to have problems with a Viewsonic monitor and an HP CPU re: the DVI connection. Can't claim credit for the solution, but I did really dig for it. So for those of you whose monitor goes blank or gives a message that the digital connection is toast or seems like it won't wake up from Sleep Mode, here is a very simple, but accurate, fix:
1. Connect both DVI and D-Sub when the computer and monitor are turned on.
2. Turn off the computer.
3. Disconnect the D-Sub, leaving the DVI in place.
4. Unplug the monitor's power for at least 5 seconds.
5. Power the computer back on.
Nothing to do with the video card or other esoteric stuff - and I haven't had the problem since. Touch wood. It's a totally ridiculous problem that took me weeks to fix, so I hope this helps someone out there. Taylor1950
Re: HP w2207h monitor
How did you fix this issue? I have the same problem.Tried same monitor on two different computers, both VGA and HDMI, with same results. I feel sure this is a monitor problem.
Re: HP w2207h monitor
Re: HP w2207h monitor
For about a year or so, mine kept going black and coming on then repeating the process. Went out of town for a couple of weeks and when I returned, turned the computer on but monitor would not come on except for a brief instand. Changing cables did no good either. Hooked up the HDMI cable to a TV and it displays fine so this is not a computer or cable-related issue. Junking this troublesome monitor and buying another this weekend.

for Over a year it sat behind this desk , I finally decided cmere and hello google, watched a video on you tube how to remove the top black ring and then a cover over the back hinge pops off 4 screws removed, then i removed 2 screws each end and some wires, leaned out the screen removed a few more wires, anyways took it all appart its no biggy to me saved all the screws in their little piles, the big board removed it maybe 7 screws nothing hard, turned it over and two 1000uf 25v capacitors are slightly enlarged on top, so i heated up the soldering iron , grabbed a cap with a pair of needle nose and heated the solder up and removed both of those caps, also they had white silicone stuck to them i cut that so when i desoldered they would come out, now the caps are at the local electronic store for 8$ for both, if anyone has questions on this monitor with the going black issue and wants to try a self repair, let me know.

This is a polar map of permafrost extent in the Northern Hemisphere. A sidebar explains how permafrost, as it forms and later thaws, serves as both a sink and source for carbon to the atmosphere. Related multimedia is a slideshow of permafrost scientists from U. of Alaska, Fairbanks, collecting permafrost data in the field.
This interactive follows carbon as it moves through various components of the carbon cycle.
This activity introduces students to visualization capabilities available through NASA's Earth Observatory, global map collection, NASA NEO and ImageJ. Using these tools, students build several animations of satellite data that illustrate carbon pathways through the Earth system.
This PBS video shows how Klaus Lackner, a geophysicist at Columbia University, is trying to tackle the problem of rising atmospheric CO2 levels by using an idea inspired by his daughter's 8th-grade science fair project.
This animation depicts the carbon cycle in a fashion that is suited for younger audiences. The video discusses how carbon enters and exits the environment through both natural and human-driven ways.
In this video, adapted from KUAC-TV and the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, viewers learn how one-celled organisms in permafrost may be contributing to greenhouse gas levels and global warming.
This visualization illustrates the carbon cycle throughout the oceanic zones, beginning at the surface and traveling to the deep. The concept map-like connections encourage students to link the abiotic and biotic interactions within the oceanic food web.
This static visualization shows that the global carbon cycle is determined by the interactions of climate, the environment, and Earth's living systems at many levels, from molecular to global.
A simplified representation of the terrestrial carbon cycle side by side with the ocean carbon cycle. Fluxes and reservoirs expressed in gigatons are included.
This narrated slide presentation shows the carbon cycle, looking at various parts of this biogeochemical sequence by examining carbon reservoirs and how carbon is exchanged among them and the atmosphere.

It's important to keep yourself prepared for every gig. Your guitar may look great and your amp may be top of the line, but without cables no one is ever going to hear them. Luckily, there is a wide assortment of instrument cables available to suit the needs of any musician. You might be surprised to learn that there are a lot of things to keep in mind when you're purchasing instrument cables. First you need to ask yourself "What am I going to be using this for?" Different cables are ideal for different jobs. For example, if you're daisy chaining your collection of pedals, you may want to check out the DiMarzio Jumper Cable Pedal Coupler or the Musician's Gear Pedal Coupler Cable Angled. Both are conveniently sized to allow you to maximize your pedal setup without having to deal with annoying tangles. However, there are times when a shorter cable simply will not do, especially if you want the freedom to roam the stage while you're performing. With options available ranging from 4 feet to over 25 feet, you won't feel restricted to one area of when you're playing your instrument.
For those who are looking for a little flash when they're playing, there are several instrument cables available to help you stand out. The Musician's Gear Tweed Right Angle Instrument Cable offers a seriously hip design that's definitely going to complement your style. If you're into more of a retro vibe, the Lava Retro Coil 20 Foot Instrument Cable Straight-Right Angle is a total blast from the past, with a cool, head turning coil design. Durable cables are easily overlooked for their role in your sound, but without them, you're probably not going to get very far. With an assortment of cables at your disposal, you will be ready to plug in and play without issue, making them a must have for any musician

Halloween on a Dime
Trick or Treat 'Em: Halloween Decorations
Dressing up for Halloween is so much fun! Enjoy it even more knowing that you and your little goblins prepared their faces for the frightful night. Face paint is inexpensive when you make it yourself, and it's safer than a mask that can obscure vision. Try these ghoulish recipes yourself!
Homemade Face Make Up
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp water
- 1/2 tsp cold cream
- food coloring
Stir together starch and cold cream until well blended. Add water and stir, then add food coloring.
APPLICATION Wash your face and any area that you will be applying the makeup to. Dry thoroughly. Use fingertips to spread onto large areas. Use a small paint brush to paint designs on face. Removes with soap and water. Store in airtight container.
Homemade Bruises
- deep blue powder eyeshadow
- charcoal or smoke gray powder eyeshadow
- shimmery green powder eyeshadow
- make up brush
Using a blot of deep blue powder eye shadow, apply with a wet make up brush. Use your fingertips to add blots of charcoal gray and blue shadows. Touch up the edges with a shimmery olive green. Smudge the bruise to complete.
Homemade Blood
- 1/2 bottle of light corn syrup
- very hot water
- squirt of liquid soap
- red food coloring
- blue or green food coloring (optional)
Pour light corn syrup into a bowl and add hot water sparingly, adding and stirring until you have the right consistency. Add a squirt of liquid soap to make it the blood easy to clean off later. Tint with red food coloring. You may add a drop of blue or green if you like to make the blood a darker color. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Smear on as needed!

- Abstract
- Cited By
Histamine releasing autoantibodies play a central role in the pathogenesis of chronic urticaria (CU) in approximately 30% of affected patients. We investigated the therapeutic effect of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) on disease activity in patients with severe CU of autoimmune aetiology. Autoimmune urticaria was diagnosed by the development of a weal-and-flare reaction to the intradermal injection of autologous serum and by serum-induced histamine release from the basophil leucocytes of healthy donors in vitro. Ten patients with severe, autoimmune CU, poorly responsive to conventional treatment, were treated with IVIG 0.4 g/kg per day for 5 days. The outcome on cutaneous wealing and itch was monitored using urticaria activity scores, visual analogue scales and autologous intradermal serum tests. Clinical benefit was noted in nine of 10 patients; three patients continue in prolonged complete remissions (3 years follow-up), two had temporary complete remissions, and symptoms in four patients improved subsequent to treatment. There was significant improvement in the urticaria activity scores and visual analogue scores at 2 (P < 0.01) and 6 weeks (P < 0.01) post-IVIG compared with the baseline values (Wilcoxon matched pairs). The diminution in urticarial activity in the majority of patients corresponded with a reduced weal-and-flare response to the intradermal injection of autologous post-treatment serum compared with the pretreatment serum. Minor side-effects were common, but there were no serious or long-term adverse effects. IVIG represents a novel therapeutic option in selected patients with recalcitrant CU associated with histamine releasing autoantibodies.

Everything conspires against the single, childless man. Each new living thing in the world each day says: You are alone, and not getting younger.
At the age of thirty-seven, the journalist and novelist Jesse Green found his life dramatically changing when he met and fell in love with a man who had recently adopted a baby boy. Having long since made peace with his choice not to be a parent, Green now faced the shock and the responsibility of a fatherhood he had never imagined. The Velveteen Father is his candid, heartfelt, and often hilarious account of the formation and flourishing of a family.
In intimate, graceful prose, Green describes his partner's journey from the hedonistic eighties to the realization that he wanted to have a child; his own concurrent journey to find a way to become an adult without having a child; and their journey together to become good parents in a society whose reactions to unconventional families can be both funny and frightening.
In the classic bedtime story, a velveteen rabbit is made real at last by a child's true love. The Velveteen FatherM is a moving record of the transformative effect parenthood can have on people who least expect to become parents, of how we are repeatedly made anew by the love of children who need us. But this transformation is not just the province of parents, Green writes; only by addressing, in some way, the generations that come before and after us can we face the task of becoming real. The Velveteen Father will therefore interest anyone who has consideredor would considerhaving achild.

Read an Excerpt
"Mommy," he said.
In the summer after his third birthday, Erez started asking for his mother, or at any rate for something he referred to by that name. "I'm going outside to find Mommy," he informed us one day, quite jauntily, as if he were announcing a trip to his toy box. And then, as an afterthought: "Where is she?" Of course he could not reach the deadbolt yet, and anyway he was not quite sure what the word "mommy" meant. But he knew that his friend Aaron had one and that his friend Rosalie had two. And that he didn't have any, at least not in the house.
It was, Andy tells me, among Erez's first sounds-"ma"-just as it is for most children. "Ma" is the sound of first recourse, of merely opening the lips. It is the name that is there whether you speak it or not, "the invisible breath between every line," as the poet James Merrill put it. But for Erez, the bleating syllable lacked a referent. Andy was his father; he had no mother; no one came when he uttered the world's oldest word. Very soon after he started speaking it, the sound naturally fell into disuse, until it was hijacked several months later as the name for his favorite stuffed animal, a black-and-white cat even now called Ma'am-from the sound he had learned cats make, we assume.
He had no mother, but of course he did. Andy often told him the story, or part of the story, in the dark as Erez lay curling for sleep: One day I walked from work and took the subway train to the bus and the bus to a plane, and the plane took me far away to another state, where a woman who was able to grow you inside her but could not take care of you was looking for a daddy to love you for the rest of your life. And Iwas that daddy. And I took you back to the plane to the bus and the bus to the subway-well, actually, this time, we took a cab-and brought you here to Brooklyn to be my son forever. Which perhaps explains Erez's mania for transportation, his every-night dreaming of trains.
For a while he asks a few times a week: "Where's Mommy?" Other times he says definitively: "Daddy is my mommy." This seems a piece of wisdom, but it is the wisdom of the stopped clock, correct twice a day. In the category of family relationships he is apt to say anything. "Mommy?" he says to a passing stranger. "Mommy?" he says to a woman whose child has just called her that. Or at television time, this: "Let's watch Grandma Yankees!"-inexplicably having altered the title of the musical Damn Yankees to suit some subterranean agenda. Wallace and Gromit, characters in a favorite video, have similarly turned into Wallace and Grandma. And I sometimes get turned into Uncle-a term someone must have used in his presence, or even deliberately taught him to use. But I'm not his uncle, any more than Gromit (a claymation dog) is his grandma. I'm his . . . well, no wonder he's confused.
He finds a picture in the drawer of a flea-market dry sink-a drawer so rarely opened by adults that it still contains news clippings and liquor bills from the man who owned it decades ago. What a party Sink Man threw in May of 1963! Here is an order for twenty-five bottles of wine plus an assortment of spirits and thick green liqueurs. But suddenly it's 1967 and here is a letter expressing sorrow over Sink Man's recent "tragedy": "I hope that time will enable you to overcome your present sadness. Fortunately, you are still very young so that much of your life is before you." The condolence-is it possible?-still reeks of pipe tobacco. And here is a photograph.
But before we even see what it is, Erez has torn the tiny picture in four. This is not surprising; he shreds, juliennes, or otherwise dismembers almost anything he particularly likes. Playing cards and the pasteboard sleeves of videotapes are helpless in his path; pop-up books may be totally harvested of their pop-ups within minutes if left undefended. Now he hands over the remains of a woman, taken in a photo booth in what seems, from her hairdo and Peter Pan collar when reassembled, to be the late 1950s. She is young, a bit bulbous, smiling through lipstick; she has not yet had a child-and would she ever get to, before her "tragedy"? For she is the wife (or so I imagine) for whom Sink Man threw such a bibulous party, whom Sink Man lost not four years later.
"Mommy?" Erez says, dropping the bits merrily in my hand.

Project Noah
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Project Noah is an app adaptation of an innovative website that allows you to submit nature photos to help with global research missions, but there are privacy and safety concerns. In order to use the app or website, you must sign in with an existing account (e.g., Google, Facebook, or Twitter), and full functionality requires access to your location. Once signed in, you can submit photos of wildlife with labels or a request for others to suggest what species they are. Photos can be submitted independently, or you can join missions to submit specific requested photos and help to document species. Some of these missions support scientific research, such as the Lost Ladybug Project. Submitted photos are associated with your login account and include a link to your profile, for which there is an option to include your name and photo. Submitting photos and participating in missions earns you patches. There is also a field guide that displays photos submitted by others that can be filtered by wildlife type.
What kids can learn

Thinking & Reasoning

Engagement, Approach, Support
Students will enjoy using their mobile devices to get outside and look for new things. The design is clean and intuitive. Teacher-created, structured missions that match the class curriculum might be more engaging.
Kids learn how to see the environment and begin scientific fieldwork. This powerful tool empowers kids to document what they see, right where they are. The additional steps of field research (naming, context, etc.) could extend the learning.
The experience is fairly simple, but there's no tutorial or obvious starting point. The website offers a FAQ and more detailed information about the project and may be a better place to begin. The active user community can help inspire excitement.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's it about?
The main activities in PROJECT NOAH include submitting wildlife and plant life spottings, joining missions to help crowdsource a particular set of spottings, and browsing submissions from other community members. To submit a spotting with the app, users tap the "New Spotting" button, choose a category such as mammals or fungi (if they know it), upload photos, and enter data about the spotting such as common name, scientific name, date spotted, and location. Users can also ask the community for help identifying the species.
Is it any good?
The idea behind Project Noah is commendable -- fostering the development of "citizen scientists" by engaging people in the wildlife around them and crowdsourcing the collection and verification of data. This app makes it easy to submit pictures on the go and, if you're comfortable with the location sharing, to see what other people in your neighborhood are noticing and submitting. Also, the missions and patches can help kids feel appreciated for getting involved and contributing to research.
To really get the most out of this app in terms of understanding the missions and viewing photos, visiting the website is recommended. In addition, unlike some other wildlife apps such as Audubon Birds, there isn't much information about the wildlife included; info and help with species identification comes from other users. Finally, the whole project is based on creating networks, so this app will require working with your kid to create a safe profile and talking together about online communities.
Families can talk about...
Help your kids set up their accounts and adjust privacy settings. Project Noah is a social network, so kids need to be aware of what they're sharing and with whom.
Get out into the field with your kids! Start with the backyard or a nearby park. Encourage them to identify their spottings before submitting to the Project Noah community.

| Guest chapter 2 . 5/4/2012
Gregg Saunders? Is that a reference to CSI?
| Cartlin chapter 8 . 5/12/2011
They keep records of every purchase? WHAT? Maybe credit cards purchases, possibly some check, but otherwise, no. How do you think cash registers work? Or that such information would be easily accessible at any register. OR that a lowly store clerk would have the authorization to pull up such records, or release them.
I'm at a complete loss here. Are you like 12? I just can't comprehend such a complete lack of basic knowledge.
| Cartlin chapter 6 . 5/12/2011
Ok, did I miss something? Why did Rick just attack Tony? It's totally random! Yeah, he was a jerk, and horrible at his job, but what would cause him to go after Tony like that? It wasn't even like Tony had been around. This makes no sense.
| Cartlin chapter 4 . 5/12/2011
Oh, and how did they know it was a letter opener? Did the killer leave it at the scene? Did it leave one at every scene? Because when you slit someone's throat, all you know was the killer used a very sharp instrument, unlike a stabbing, where you can get an idea at least of the shape and size of the weapon used.
I really recommend you go back at some point and fix all these errors. You're leaving out vital details, and if this is supposed to be a case driven fic, your failing.
| Cartlin chapter 3 . 5/12/2011
Letter openers are not very sharp, how could it be used to slit someone's throat? Stab someone, yes, but not cut skin.
| Cartlin chapter 2 . 5/12/2011
Wait, why is a chief of police at a precinct? Oh, and not cool using the BEST CSI character's name for your bad police chief.
| Madances chapter 14 . 2/7/2011
Hi, Enjoyed it. Tracy
| Bob Rhynoplasty chapter 14 . 6/20/2010
I just read this story in two days, Your little tidbits at the end were funny and the case was interesting. I just saw one flaw in the story. You never described why blackwell did what he did? What was his motive? Did Tony know him? I want to know!
Otherwise, awesome story, and I'm glad that Tony got the better of that bastard in the end.
| Krynnalexia chapter 1 . 5/23/2010
Liked the last line of this story. "I need a reason, DiNozzo?" That was just plain awesome. LoL. Wonderful, nice plot. Liked it a lot. Well done. Smiles.
| Gratia Astra chapter 14 . 5/8/2010
Tony came first. In the JAG episode "Ice Queen", Tony asks Viv-"So that's why you came to work with us?" YOU came to work with US. Tony was first. And he's always gonna be the favorite. Anyone who says otherwise needs a serious reality check. (Time for the Moose-Tracks ice cream dessert)
| Gratia Astra chapter 13 . 5/8/2010
16 guns hidden in one apartment, wouldn't you say that's just a little overkill?
Poor Tony, send Abby over to give him a hug. WAIT DON'T! I changed my mind. I'LL go over and give him a hug. Sound good? Sounds good.
(aw shoot. Somebody bring me another Mountain Dew!)
| Gratia Astra chapter 11 . 5/8/2010
'Kay, plot was way too thin here. More time on the capture, or the time in which he was held captive would have been nice. It was also waay too easy how Tony defeated Mailman. And what's with the letter openers? More hurt-Tony might have actually been nice, because then Gibbs would have to be nicer. At least we're getting a smoother transition to NCIS.
| Gratia Astra chapter 10 . 5/8/2010
Yes, much better explanation.
What did Gibbs do to the chief? Come on, share. Pretty please? I might share my Mountain Dew...
(KITTEN! Stop stealing my pizza! accursed-little-siamese)
| Gratia Astra chapter 9 . 5/8/2010
Still here, still reading.
Saw nothing in the last chapter that needed correcting so I just kept reading.
I'm really bored, I don't usually review so many times with one story.
Um, so I am totally confused about the letter-opener-thing. So there's only three in the world, and the "Mailman" (where did THAT come from anyway?) has them all?
Maybe I'll understand in the chapters to come. (gnaws some more cold pizza)

A team of K&L Gates LLP environmental and maritime lawyers representing a coalition of shipping interests has obtained an order from a United States District Judge in San Francisco to allow the maritime industry additional time to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) newly-issued requirements governing the discharge of pollutants from vessels.
Enacted by the EPA on December 18, 2008, under the Clean Water Act, the 80-page Vessel General Permit was to have taken effect the following day. Applicable to most commercial vessels over 79 ft long, the permit requires the development of best management practices for 26 different discharge streams, including deck run-off. Had the permit gone into effect on December 19 as called for by the EPA, many members of the maritime industry would have been subject to potential liability for not having best practices in place.
Under the order, the new deadline for complying with the EPA's best practices requirement has been extended to February 6, 2009. The extension also gives the industry time to sort out the additional requirements to be imposed by some states as conditions of the permit.
The K&L Gates team involved in the matter included Washington, D.C., partners Barry Hartman, Mark Ruge, and Brian McCalmon, Harrisburg partner Christopher Nestor, and San Francisco partner Jeff Bornstein.

Master of Arts in Teaching
Specialization in Elementary Education with Initial Certification
The Master of Arts in Teaching specialization in elementary education with initial certification prepares students to become teachers in elementary and middle schools. They will complete all requirements for the Type 03 Illinois Elementary Education Certificate to teach grades kindergarten through 9. Students who plan to teach at the middle school level are required to take additional course work for the middle school endorsement. The specialization is grounded in a commitment to preparing teachers to nurture democratic citizens.
For the specialization in elementary education with initial certification, in addition to other graduate school requirements, applicants must submit an essay discussing ?What it means to nurture democratic citizenship in students.? For applicants who are currently teaching, one of their two reference letters must be from the principals of their schools.
Checklist - Master of Arts in Teaching, Elementary Education
Deficiency Study
For students whose undergraduate major was not in education or who have limited background in their chosen specialization, may need to complete deficiency requirements established by the department. Deficiency course hours will not be counted toward the minimum semester hours of the master's degree program. Students may demonstrate their basic knowledge of the use of computers in education by completing ETT 229, its equivalent, or by passing a proficiency test. Deficiency courses may be completed prior to admission to the program or during their first semester at NIU or at community colleges that offer equivalent course work. For information on course work to take as a student-at-large please visit the Graduate School web site.
Comprehensive Examination
The comprehensive examination is conducted in conjunction with a portfolio completed in the last semester of course work containing required artifacts and reflections which demonstrate mastery of the professional teaching standards and degree requirements.
Students who do not complete the entire program of courses will not be granted the certification or the Master of Arts degree.
Checklist for MAT in Elementary Education
Graduate Student Responsibility
It is the responsibility of students to know and observe all regulations and procedures relating to the program they are pursuing, as well as those of the university and Graduate School. In no case will a regulation be waived or an exception granted because students plead ignorance of, or contend that they were not informed of, the regulations or procedures. Questions on regulations and their interpretation pertaining to studies at the graduate level should be addressed to the office of the dean of the Graduate School.
Students planning to graduate should familiarize themselves with the dates relating to application for graduation and other pertinent deadlines (see the Graduate School Calendar). It is necessary to apply for graduation by the specified deadline in order to graduate in a particular term, whether or not the student plans to attend the commencement ceremonies.
Students must satisfy the degree requirements of the catalog in force during the term for which they have been admitted to and begin course work in a degree program; or they may, with the consent of their advisers, meet graduation requirements by complying with the provisions of a later catalog. Students readmitted to a degree program must meet degree requirements of the catalog in force at the time of the later admission (or of a subsequent catalog, as provided above). Aside from degree requirements, all students are subject to the regulations and policies stated in the catalog currently in force. Exceptions to regulations contained in the Graduate Catalog require the written approval of the office of the dean of the Graduate School, unless otherwise stated in the catalog.
Graduate students and students-at-large should notify the Graduate School immediately of any change in address so that receipt of mail will not be delayed.
Additional Information
All official NIU email will be sent to your Z-ID account email. Please check that email on a regular basis.
My NIU
Register for classes, check on program progress, and access/update your student information using My NIU.
You will be able to access your Degree Progress Report. This advising tool can be accessed from the Self Service area of your Student Center. The report will have your requirements, classes you have completed and how they fit into your degree program. Any questions about your Degree Progress Report may be directed to your faculty mentor/adviser.
Immunization Requirements
University policy requires all students born on or after January 1, 1957, enrolling in a class at the NIU DeKalb campus to provide written evidence of current immune status with respect to certain communicable diseases, or evidence of exemption from this requirement, by the tenth day of the first term enrolled. Please check with University Health Services to determine if your immunization record is up to date.
As part of your course work you maybe expected to purchase LiveText. LiveText is an electronic portfolio system that has been adopted by over 400 universities across the country and a majority of public universities in Illinois. LiveText will provide you with access to a very a valuable technology tool and provide you with a powerful way to assess and document your own efforts. You can purchase a copy that will give you access for four years from the NIU Bookstore or search online and buy from LiveText directly. The College of Education uses this program to track student date for NCATE purposes.
Clinical Experience
Teacher certification candidates are required to complete early clinical and student teaching courses. These courses will take place during the K-8 school year and during the day. The early clinical will have approximately 4 weeks of activities in a classroom during the regular school year. For student teaching you will be placed in a school for 16 weeks full time during the day just like a regular teacher. If you are working a full time job during the day then you will need to make arrangements to have the time off to complete the clinical and student teaching requirements. Prior to any clinical or student teaching you must complete a criminal background, have current TB test on file in the department.
A grade of unsatisfactory will be given to all students (graduate and undergraduate) who do not demonstrate competency in the classroom; do not complete expectations, assignments, or requirements; or whose teaching, personal, and/or professional abilities indicate that they would be a liability to the teaching profession. Students will also be subject to remediation components such as writing contracts to address specific concerns and student performance reviews.
Students currently teaching in a K-8 classroom may have the opportunity to continue in their teaching position while being evaluated for the early clinical and student teaching.The Elementary Education faculty will set up a set of guidelines the candidate must follow to complete the early clinical and student teaching in their classroom. Candidates need to discuss this option with their faculty mentor shortly after being admitted to the MAT program.
Safety Tutorial
Individuals seeking initial certification from NIU must also complete the School Safety Tutorial for Pre-Service Teachers. This is a no cost online exam required of all students seeking initial teacher certification at NIU. Students will not be recommended for certification until the tutorial is complete. Once a student completes the module a note will be make in My NIU and the department will be able to access the results for the student's certification file.
Middle School Endorsement
Students seeking an elementary teaching certificate who wish to teach in departmentalized grades five through eight must have a "middle grade", commonly called middle school endorsement on their certificates. An endorsement is a written notation entered upon the face of a teaching certificate designating additional specific subjects which an individual is qualified to teach. For additional information please visit the Middle School Endorsement sheet.
The College's conceptual framework is aligned to Illinois Professional Teaching Standards. In order to graduate, all students must demonstrate competency in those standards. Several standards relate to dispositions for teaching. The framework identifies the dispositions expected of all students in the various programs. The five major categories of dispositions are as follows: Caring, Collaboration, Creative and Critical Thinking, Lifelong Learning and Scholarship, and Diversity.
All reports on students' dispositions will be sent to the Dispositions Coordinator (DC). Students who experience difficulties in dispositions will meet individually with the DC. The DC will assign activities designed to assist students in improving dispositions for teaching. The ultimate goal of this process is to promote successful completion of the program, though that may not always be the outcome of the process. All questions regarding the dispositions assessment and support process should be directed to the Dispositions Coordinator.
NIU now offers housing in DeKalb for graduate students and those with families at the Northern View Community.
Financial Aid and Scholarships
There are awards and scholarships that are available for graduate students, http://www.grad.niu.edu/grad/financing/index.shtml. Other aid may be based on financial need, talent, or to members of particular groups. Some web sites that are available at NIU are the College of Education's Scholarship Page, the Scholarship Office, and the Financial Aid Office.
If you have any additional questions, please e-mail Gail Schumacher or call her at (815) 753-7948.

Ferrari 250 GTO Wikimedia Commons The original Ferrari GTO of 1962-1964 embodied what few other cars have: gorgeous looks, fearsome performance, racing success, and (relative) civility on the road. The Scaglietti design was used to more or less replace the bodywork of the open 250 GT Testa Rossa to comply with FIA sanctioning rules -- not that Ferrari played by all the rules.
