Integrating Curricula with Multiple Intelligences: Teams, Themes, and Threads (2nd Revised edition)By: Robin J. Fogarty (author), Judy Stoehr (author)Hardback
1 - 2 weeks availability
DescriptionIntegrating Curricula With Multiple Intelligences combines Gardner's nine multiple intelligences (verbal, logical, musical, visual, bodily, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, and existentialist) with Fogarty's ten curriculum integration models (fragmented, connected, nested, sequenced, shared, webbed, threaded, integrated, immersed, and networked). The authors offer strategies for building teams and professional learning communities, exploring how to put power into themes, and ways to thread life skills through the subject matter content. This unique and practical book includes cooperative structures for interactive lessons, strategies for developing relevant integrated units, ideas for webbing themes to the intelligences, methods that infuse rigor into thematic units, and much more.

HTC, RIM, Nokia
Imagine what they could come up with if all three combined. Awesome hardware, great design and um.. forget the RIM bit, just go Android with HTC and Nokia.

Imagine what they could come up with if all three combined. Awesome hardware, great design and um.. forget the RIM bit, just go Android with HTC and Nokia.
I've mentioned this before but it's such a big pointer to how confused and messed up the whole Notro / Desktop mess is and shows even MS don't know what they're doing.
I get update notifications for Windows Updates so I click to view them. It (un)helpfully takes me to Notro to view the updates and I can install from there. However, if I want to view optional updates or select which updates to install first it throws me instantly back to the Desktop Windows Update of old. Why was this ever allowed to happen? If Notro is so great why dump me straight back to the Desktop version? Why force me to even view the Notro version if it doesn't have the same, or better, functionality? What purpose does it serve other than to add more confusion and ".... why?" moments to your day?
For anyone that has unfortunately installed Win 8 to try and are now stuck with it through reluctance to reinstall and wanting a fast way to shut down you can easily make a shortcut to do so or the often forgotten clicking your desktop then using Alt-F4 of old. I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong by wanting these options as others have I'm just offering ways to do it that work.
The biggest issue I have with the whole mess is that all this is pointless to most people unless they spend most of their time overseas. Roaming fees are now far cheaper than calling outside your allowance at home. Imagine my surprise when I saw I was paying close to 40p per minute one month, the only month I've ever gone outside my allowance.
This brings me to my question about this madness. How the hell does it now cost far less to call someone in the UK from outside the UK than it does to call them while here and why has this been allowed to happen?!
Both represent fantastic value for money. I often look at those demanding (for their use) massive storage and / or an SD card slot and wonder why they need so much but in the case of the Nexus 4 I would advise strongly going for the 16GB version only. I have the 8GB version and rarely use it for music yet with less than 1GB of music, my normal apps and photos taken I have very little space left.
Advertising it as 8GB would be fine if it came with 8GB usable but it doesn't. You will never have 8GB or even 7.6GB~ once you take into account what the system uses on its own. Realistically you have around 5GB for all your storage needs and even with cloud storage that will go far faster than you may think. Still, at £159 the phone cannot be beaten on value and I thought it was a great deal at £249!
I remember a commenter on here a while back that made a fantastic note to congratulate LG on creating a phone made of a material capable of slipping on any surface. It still amazes me quite how able it is to slide on any surface you can throw it at (sic).
This is why Microsoft get such a rough ride and they deserve it. They chastise Google for doing similar to this with their YouTube APIs when they've been doing this for years in various ways with this just being the latest.
"Let us have the APIs or we'll say it's all your fault, evil Google!"
"You want better API access to build a proper Firefox for ARM / RT? HAHAHA! No!"
It's just a small research outpost. Everyone knows the real deal is deep inside Cheyenne Mountain.
"The Oracle was asked what he thought of Jobs, to which he replied: "He was brilliant, he was our Edison,"
He was "our Edison"? That explains all the idea stealing and trying to make competitors products look bad in any way possible.
"People aren't stupid.
BB guns, knives on sticks, and other tools."
Are you sure about the first statement?
You don't. I have a phone with a 1GHz CPU and 768MB RAM that runs smoothly with Android 4 on it. I have a dual-core phone that runs smoother than a quad-core phone (Tegra 3 really is awful...) but I won't deny that Android had laggy performance for a long time. That has been rectified now and not just with better hardware.
On topic I see that Microsoft have failed to grasp the obvious yet again. Updates are coming along far too slowly and far too infrequently for them to make any gains. I almost feel sorry for Nokia because no matter what hardware they manage to produce they're stuck relying on Microsoft to do their part.
I'd like to think that someone so obnoxious would already make you avoid them long before the public can get their hands on Glass.
How about an app that takes the video feed from the camera and, taking into account a person's prescription, adjusts it so that they only appear to be wearing Google Glass? That way they get an enhanced display that also corrects vision. This would require a version that can overlay a full view instead of the small menu the current Glass uses but I know I'd be willing to pay for such a thing and it would be a very legitimate use. No video would be stored locally as it would just be fed to the display like a graphics card to a monitor. Perhaps I'm looking to a future version due to resolution and capabilities along with battery life implications but it would appeal to me more than it puts me off for privacy issues. Why? I'd be in control of when I wear it just as I am with glasses.
Seeing how poorly the Tegra 3 chip performed compared to the Qualcomm S4 and more so the S4 Pro I wonder how many will believe any of the Tegra 4 spiel. I own an HTC One X which comes stuck with the Tegra 3 and while it may be decent for gaming the idea behind it never held much weight. The low powered core never seemed to do much of the low powered stuff despite that being its purpose for existing and the four main cores were only as powerful as a dual-core S4 device.
What a match made in hell this is for RT. First you have the underperforming, app lacking RT and then you couple it with an already aging chipset in Tegra 3 that can't perform as well as it was supposed to, ever. How can you rectify that? I know! Let's use...... Tegra 4 for more of the same but at least we can add Outlook now!
It's terrifying that people in such high powered jobs believe this to the point they'll risk a repeat of an almost $1 billion loss without learning anything.
How long before the apk is uploaded and made available online for others and the BBM service falls over from "unprecedented demand" or something similar? I'll give it a day or two, a week tops.
The more they drag their feet with updates and new features the harder it gets for companies like Nokia, HTC, Samsung etc to get any value and sales from WinPho. I own an HTC 8X and it's a great phone but I've not seen a single update that added anything worthwhile. Looking at the Nokia Lumia 1020 I would really love to own that phone too but there is no point. The camera is very, very impressive but the OS is still the same stagnating mess it was when they launched it to much..... er..... moderate fanfare last year.
MS are still trying to run WinPho the same as they do other products like Windows and XBox with a few releases over a long period of time but that won't work here as their competitors are moving at a far faster pace. MS aren't just behind they're being left further and further behind all the time. When is the next WinPho update, does anybody know? Does anyone have any clue what will be included apart from a few tweaks and bug fixes? It's hard to care about something when the people behind it don't seem to give a shit.
Lots of early adopters got burned with WP7 devices and any that took a gamble by going to WP8 after that are probably thinking they made a huge mistake. MS need to wake up and either push WP8 hard or just can it. Any other course of action is just, to be blunt, fucking around with anyone that tries to support it.
It still puzzles me why they bothered pushing out WInPho 8 when they haven't bothered to do any big marketing or push out updates and / or any kind of improvements to it. There are a few main areas they need to improve on vastly (music player, multitasking, keyboard to name 3) and a lot of small tweaks they could make. Unfortunately anyone that owns a WP handset has no idea when or if these will be worked on.
It feels like MS have adopted the old Nokia stance on updates where you never knew if your phone was getting an update and even if you did have an update available it rarely did anything you would care about. It also feels like MS are treating WP in general as some big experiment to see just how little effort they can put into something without it blowing up massively in their faces. It's very frustrating to see especially when WP is rather good in general use.
I still read that as "content free ad network", anyone else?
"a feature that lets you easily take photos by shaking the camera and then touching anywhere on the screen."
I would not refer to that as a feature or something that allows me to easily take a photo. Shaking the camera (phone) then touching the screen is more likely to see people dropping it.
A birthday treat for me? Why thank you, Google.
" * I'm guessing the word eduction will be in the answer "
I'm guessing you meant education.
I'm with JDX on this. If it was sponsored it would be talking about the beauty of the phone, the magical screen and the roundness of the corners. Instead it talks about the technology behind the camera and how it required years of work to bring it all together without compromising on anything. I understand being jaded by years of small boosts to tech. and mistaking the genuinely pleasant surprise the author expresses but sponsored? No.
I'm first and foremost a fan of technology and real innovation like this but I'm also a firm Android fan. However, I do own three Windows phones (2 run WP8) and like the simplicity at times. If it had a few things either improved vastly (keyboard, handling of multitasking) or redone completely I could see myself being stuck when it comes time for a new phone. The hardware of Android tends to be the latest in flagship models but for imaging they all lag behind things like this beauty.
I said when I first used a Windows Phone 7 / 7.5 device that it had promise and I still feel that way. However, until and unless Microsoft push updates harder it will stay as a promising OS but not for me and that is where they need to go hard or go home. It wouldn't take a lot to get my full attention from Android but they just seem uninterested and seem to treat it like a curiosity as Apple do with Apple TV.
If you look at early Android the updates were pretty frequent although in fairness it needed them as it was quite basic early on. WP8 may not be as bad as that but it is still missing a lot of things that could be pulled in through updates such as a better keyboard and better multitasking. Unfortunately they're updating it as slowly as the desktop OS with big patches once a year. By the time they decide to push out an update the chances are that a manufacturer won't be updating it any more.
Neither work properly and neither are for the benefit of those that will suffer from their ideas. This is intended as a replacement for all other benefits to be paid once a month. The chance of this going so badly that it leads to suicides and homelessness when payments are screwed up is so high yet good old IDS keeps insisting everything is fine and going as planned. That is only true if the plan is to royally screw up the whole system.
" And the feature formerly known as "Type and Go" but now apparently called "Instant Action" is very handy: from anywhere, you can swipe up and start to type a message, for example: "sms fred" – and it will drill into your address book and drop you into the message editor."
I can swipe up on the screen then jump back to the keyboard to type "sms fred" and it'll do the search and open message editor. Perhaps I'm not seeing the big appeal of this as it doesn't seem to shorten anything over starting the messaging app and picking who you want to message. Shouldn't a shortcut save you time?
Fantastic! I can hardly wait to use this and I don't even mind the cost because unlike 3G this will bring about a revolution in the mobile market. What's that? It isn't available where I live yet? Oh that's ok I'm sure they will be soon and I can check that on a list. There's no readily available list that shows planned rollouts? Alright but surely they have decent allowances compared to 3G at least as a means to compete with cheaper and far more widely available coverage. No?! What the hell do you mean no? What is the appeal then??? I can pay more for less and with shorter battery life???
Hang on a minute I'll be an early adopter and can brag to my friends and co-workers? Why didn't you say that sooner. Here, pillage my credit card and don't forget to charge ludicrous amounts outside my allowance that make it cheaper to call the UK from abroad than if I was at home.
The issue is not that they've put in a Start screen for touch-driven devices it's that they've ONLY got that option even for non-touch devices. Had they done what nearly everyone said during the Duplo 8 Consumer Preview and stuck with both the traditional UI but added the touch UI via a toggle a huge amount of issues would have been dealt with at once. Instead they buried their heads in the sand while putting their fingers in their ears and humming loudly.
As a long time Windows user I've gotten used to a lot of shortcuts for things and there's a basic one to shutdown that still works in DuplOS 8. In Desktop click the actual desktop then ALT+F4. It's the same shutdown menu that's been around since at least Windows 2000.
I still don't understand why the camera operators don't intervene and stop the poor MBAs from being captured.
"There are some governments that act more upon their own interests, but we do not," Patino said, according to the Associated Press and others. "We act upon our principles. We take care of the human rights of the people."
Ecuador doing what the USA supposedly does. When the "land of the free" becomes a giant prison and one of their closest allies (UK) is nothing more than a mouthpiece for their agenda this is what happens. 'MURIKA protecting the people from the evil of...... themselves.
"We think you'll like it because... well, it isn't Windows 8!"
*goes back to using Windows 7*
If there are any viruses spread through it then it'll quickly be nicknamed 'clapster'.
If Microsoft had won I very much doubt that a Steam client would have appeared quite as fast as it did in response to Windows 8. I'm pretty sure Valve would already have been working on it but as a lower priority until the mess that is W8 appeared. Even 8.1 is just a token gesture to try and look like they're listening (not a chance) since the returning 'Start' button just does what the Windows key does now - pulls up FAILTRO. It will still be the same confused mess that I, and others, hate.
Why do I call it confused? The best example I can think of is Windows update. I get informed of updates and click to view so it pulls me into FAILTRO but if I want to change what updates are installed it's back to the Desktop. It's like a tacit acknowledgement that even the makers are confused about which interface should be in control of certain tasks.
Then we'd be stuck with Yahoo as leading search engine. Do you really want that? DO YOU?!
Oh that is simply fantastic!
When I read the story elsewhere a week or so back (behind the times el Reg!) I told a friend who was considering doing some "Let's Play" videos on YouTube. With that information he left out all Nintendo games but did use some footage from various Square-Enix games. He told me this week that they have been matched the same way. I don't know if he meant they were taken down or if he was told they'd be taking any / all revenue.
"Or a doctor is prescribing the wrong drugs, because they don't know what drugs their patient is already on."
If the doctor doesn't know what you're on already and doesn't check before giving you new drugs I'd question how they got that position in the first place.
Did it take off like Google and the hype suggested it might? Nope. Is it dead? Far from it. It offers a lot more than Facebore ever could and I'd trust Google with my data more than I would that place.
@El Andy: If you're going to pick and choose what you reply to then you can make anything suit your personal viewpoint. The point I was making is that comparatively Android is doing far better than Microsoft's most successful phone OS ever did and is still far more successful than their latest phone OS. The Android UI and UX has been improving all the time and only someone with a very blinkered view would suggest otherwise.
As I mentioned in the bit you chose to ignore I don't see what is so bad about the Android experience right now. I'm not talking about those bargain basement phones that you get free with a bag of crisps. If you go with a phone that has similar specs to a WP8 phone you will get a good and slick experience.
The reason WP7 / 7.5 worked so well on lower end hardware is that it was so limited. A calculator gives a slick experience because it's only doing a few things but I wouldn't compare a laptop to a calculator and say that the laptop is sluggish. Yes it's an awful analogy and not a very accurate one but hey it makes as much sense as your argument.
My sarcasm is suggesting that I'm surprised the author bothers to call it slick *because* it's so basic. Calling it slick is like calling the sun hot. Don't state the obvious just to bash another OS. Nowhere did I say I dislike the UI just that I find it very lacking. The UX in WP8 is straightforward, yes, but is Android really that difficult? See icon, tap icon. It's the same for any touchscreen OS.
I don't have enough experience with iOS to say it judders but I have seen it with Android in the past. I haven't seen it on WP8 or the last few versions of Android but I do see plenty of "Resuming" screens on WP8 and don't get me started about the atrocious music player that comes as standard with no alternatives.
"Whatever the case may be, I can't see Google transforming Android into the kind of slick experience you get on Windows Phone today."
Slick experience on Windows Phone? It's easy to be slick when you run such a basic interface. How long did Windows Mobile exist with a shockingly bad but usable UI? If you compare Android now to Windows Mobile near the end then Android comes out far ahead on usability, that UX thing you mentioned.
I don't see why you hold Windows Phone as some shining beacon of what everything has to compete with. I own both a Windows Phone 7.5 and 8 device as well as numerous Android phones and I know which I prefer by far - Android. This article just feels like a trollfest when I see things like that.
If Google are to be blamed for the poor YouTube app who is to blame for the abysmal music player on WP8? A music player where you cannot edit a playlist after creation. A music player where you cannot see what music is on your now playing list. A music player where you cannot clear your current playlist. A music player where you cannot add or remove tracks to existing playlists or in order to create new playlists.
I could go on but you get the idea. I can forgive and work with a lot of annoying issues but for such a basic function of a smartphone they've managed to make it the most infuriating music player I've ever had to use. I'd also like to know whose smart idea it was to link media volume to ringtone, alert, message tone volume and thank them for giving an example of what to avoid for future creators.
==Reller told Foley:
"We feel good that we've listened and looked at all of the customer feedback. We are being principled, not stubborn," about modifying Windows 8 based on that feedback."==
Isn't that what they should have done when people said the same things very loudly all through the release preview? How the hell can a company be so stubborn and blind to the problems they're thrusting upon users they expect to upgrade? If they dare try to charge for this 8.1 update or whatever it ends up being they can go fsck themselves. I got Windows 8 for my aging laptop purely for any performance boost it would give and I would dearly like to undo that mistake without going through a reinstall. I gained a bigger performance increase by upping the memory to 4GB.
The best 'upgrade' I got is one that makes scrolling through directories some mammoth task that causes my entire system to sink to its knees and literally lock up for 2 - 10 seconds. Once it finishes loading them up it's fine until I try to scroll more and the same process repeats. It reminds me of an old Windows 98 (?) bug where icon shortcuts would fail to load and you had to rebuild the whole icon list to fix it. In this case it renders my laptop useless for the whole time it's doing whatever it does.
A demo version? Now that's an old idea that slowly died off! I'm willing to be proven incorrect but I'm also willing to bet a large portion of chips (potato in oil kind) that when a poor game with a demo was released the demo showed how poor it was and sales were minimal. Given how much money is being spent on some games the companies can't afford to lose sales just because their product is crap. Far better to have a bad reputation and money than a good reputation and go out of business, right?
There was a time when a demo came out first and then the full game came later. You're lucky to see a demo at all for any game now and even less likely to see it before the full release. Indie developers are really stuck and purposely releasing your own game as a pirated torrent to try and prove something or guilt trip some into buying the game must have sounded like a smart idea at the time. If you give me an option to pay for something or get it for free (legally) why would I want to pay for it? I don't have a solution, just my random thoughts.
As someone that was quite annoyed about the price increase I'm watching this very closely to see just what is possible with regards to cancellation or at worst negotiating a decent discount. I've been with T-Mobile for five years now and have seen the service go from a refreshing change when I joined to get the G1, to a "me too" network with nothing to distinguish them from the rest.
Each time I see a price increase yet what I pay for stays the same. Am I in this looking for something for nothing? No. It may not seem a lot to some but for me every extra £1 I have to pay out hits hard. If you want to get in with "you shouldn't get what you can't afford" that is the point exactly. I'm tied in to a 24 month contract and I signed up at a set price. I have to pay the bill every month regardless yet if I suddenly earn less as a result of other circumstances I still have to pay that bill. Mobile networks have that wonderful small print that allows them to increase prices due to inflation so they don't lose out. Given the chance you can be damn sure I'll take advantage of this if I can because everything else is geared towards making sure T-Mobile don't lose out. What happened to buyer protection?

"It will certainly be ignored by many, who will perhaps keep grumbling indefinitely without seriously thinking about the practicable alternative to alphanumeric passwords."
What alternative are you speaking of there? As much as you and I may like the idea of a long string the fact is that the vast majority of sites won't allow longer than about 16 characters. A great deal of those sites will also restrict you to alphanumeric while rejecting all others. You can only blame users for so long before you have to look at the sites and what they allow.
Are you counting Sim City 4 in that because that's the last actual Sim City game if you ignore that horrid mess "Sim City Societies". I quite like SC4 especially when you add in Rush Hour to it for all manner of high speed transport.
Anyway, ignoring those games and going on my beta play from the beta weekend not long back this game is missing quite a lot of things like terraforming before you play but it was quite fun. I know EA will be killing it with DLC and micro-transaction crap all over but I almost don't care. I've wanted a new Sim City for a long time. I feel dirty but I'm an addict man! Gotta feed my habit.
Hey! I resemble that remark... :(
"The insulation seals in the heat and keep out the coverage, according to a company flogging a solution"
That's about where I lost all interest in reading further. Whether it's an accurate report or not I can't take it seriously when the findings helpfully back up what they're selling.

Art, music, and education as strategies for survival: Theresienstadt, 1941-45
Herodias, 2001 - Art - 203 pages
The Bauhaus and its influences are to be found throughout twentieth-century art and design; the architecture of Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe and the art of Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky being among the most widely recognized instances. Perhaps the most poignant example of this influence, however, may be understood through the life of a little-known student of the Bauhaus who entered its first class in 1919 -- Friedl Dicker, whom Gropius described as "a distinguished, rare talent ... The multidimensional nature of her talent and her indomitable energy received the highest esteem ..".
Friedl Dicker was a prolific and multitalented artist, producing work in theater, architecture, textiles, graphic design, drawing, painting, and sculpture. In 1926, in Vienna, she founded Atelier singer-Dicker with a classmate Franz Singer. In 1934 she was arrested by the Gestapo for anti-Fascist activities and fled to Prague, where she taught art classes for Jewish refugees. In 1942 she was sent to theTheresienstadt Ghetto, where she secretly taught art to the children there, gifting them with tools for the expression of their fears of the hunger, disease and death in their midst. Dicker-Brandeis (she had married in 1936) and thirty of her students perished in the gas chambers of Auschwitz in 1944.
Art, Music and Education as Strategies for Survival collects for the first time in one volume the children's art of Theresienstadt, unpublished paintings of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, and historical photographs, as well as three essays of interest to historians, art educators/therapists, and Holocaust scholars -- providing an important new interdisciplinary approach to exploring the power of art toteach, express, commemorate, and -- perhaps most importantly -- heal.

I wasn't actually aware of the Bijou until I arrived, and it is certainly unique.

The surprising late summer box office uptick, due to two unusually strong late summer hits, Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" and Paramount's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," proved short-lived. They still lead this this week's Top Ten, which came in at about $125 million, up slightly from $123 million last year. "Mutant" is only the third picture this summer to repeat at number one, after "Transformers: Age of Extinction" and "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes."
"Mutants"'s drop, though sizable from its strong start, was in line with most top hits' second weekend this summer, which have been larger than average compared to past years. "Guardians" meanwhile had an impressive hold — down only 41% and primed to hold for several more weeks and ultimately take the crown for top domestic 2014 grosser (competing with "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" later this year). Also holding quite well (down only 35%) was older-appeal "The Hundred-Foot Journey" (Buena Vista), which is headed toward a decent total. Its food and restaurant-centric story is reminiscent of "Chef," just now wrapping up a four-month run at around $30 million. Another foodie comedy is this week's best specialized opener, "A Trip to Italy" (IFC). (See specialty box office details in Arthouse Audit).
Less impressive are three new wide releases. The unheralded cop comedy "Let's Be Cops" (20th Century Fox) led the pack at $17.7 million, with an $8.5 million additional gross from its Wednesday opening. It bested the disappointing, much more expensive "The Expendables 3" (Lionsgate), which for a variety of reasons fell short of predictions. Also below its anticipated level was the young adult dystopian adaptation "The Giver" (Weinstein), which may have proved too similar to"The Hunger Games" and "Divergent."

Three Takeaways:
1. Why didn't Weinstein Co's 'The Giver' pop?
This weekend with "The Giver" and next with "Sin City: A Dame to Die For," the Weinstein Company has returned from an extended hiatus (since "Vampire Academy" in February) for wide openings, an unusual six-month gap. This resulted in a huge drop in their market share and revenues (1.3% through last Thursday compared to 4.5% for 2013) and $90 million so far in 2014, compared to almost $500 million for all of 2013. The decision to release "Snowpiercer," potentially a $50 million grossing film, on video on demand two weeks after its theatrical release had a negative impact on market share. Long term that might turn out to be a crucial turning point, but short term it took a potential hit away from their distribution side.
"The Giver" has the feel of a quality Weinstein effort, from experienced director (Philip Noyce, studio helmer of "Clear and Present Danger" and "Salt," but also Miramax's "The Quiet American" and "Rabbit-Proof Fence"), who delivered an elegantly mounted film, to recent Weinstein cast regular Meryl Streep ("The Iron Lady"). No company maximizes awards/review-driven older audience films better than Weinstein. Perhaps coming too late to the dystopian young adult party after "The Hunger Games" and "Divergent," the film failed to connect to its large potential audience. Several key changes to the book had an effect as well; they aged up their leading man, added a romance, and turned Streep's Chief elder into a standard-issue villain. With mediocre reviews, the film didn't pull adults either.
Ironically, the Weinstein target demo is flocking to Disney's "The Hundred-Foot Journey," directed by Weinstein veteran Lasse Hallstrom and starring Weinstein fave Helen Mirren.
On the other hand, "The Giver" will by the end of the week surpass the more limited "Begin Again," which has grossed $14.4 million as TWC's top 2014 release, and "Sin City" could best both. And both should equal or outgross "August: Osage County," which took in most of its $37.8 million this year in a slower rollout. But this is a company with five films 2013 releases passing $30 million (led by "The Butler," released exactly a year ago at $116 million) and of course the huge hits "Django Unchained" and "Silver Linings Playbook" the year before. So this is a rough patch.
2. The Police Comedy Trend
Police comedies have always been popular on TV, from "The Andy Griffith Show," "Car 54 Where Are You?" and "Barney Miller" to more recent "Reno 911." In movies, back in the '20s saw The Keystone Cops, and the 80s brought "Beverly Hills Cop" and the "Police Academy" series. Lately though, they're a burgeoning genre, from "Paul Blart – Mall Cop," and "The Heat" to "Kick Ass," the two "Ride Along" films and the "Jump Street" entries.
This week's surprise was the $17 million "Let's Be Cops," featuring an unproven cast ("The New Girls" co-stars Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr.). And it comes at a time when police/community interaction doesn't exactly make for a funny subject. Often comedy offers an outlet to relieve fear and pressure, so perhaps this helps to explain this weekend's response. (Of note from Fox's audience surveys is that attendees were only 20% African-American, below average for most successful movies, more so one boasting a prominent black leading man.) Expect to see more of this genre in the production pipeline. They tend to be review-resistant (although "22 Jump Street" was well-received) and are relatively cheap to make.
3. Lionsgate disappoints with two recent franchise films
Though all the top companies are in the franchise creation and extending business, no company has gained as much by its attention to this core business practice than Lionsgate, which has seen its market share annually hover around 10% of the domestic total after in earlier years falling under 5% annually. And this has come with a focus on creating and sustaining series. Eight of their top ten and 20 of their 30 all time biggest-grossing films come from films that started off as anticipated series and their sequels (more if one includes "Enders Game," which will likely not be continued).
What has been crucial to this success is how most of these films — a wide group that includes "The Hunger Games," various Tyler Perry films, the "Saw" series, two "Red" films and the final Summit "Twilight" films — have benefited from smart moves to keep each of them alive with tweaking and new elements while still providing the central elements that drew audiences in the first place.
So what to make of the disappointing starts for "The Expendables 3" and the fifth "Step Up" films, all by large margins the weakest in their respective histories? And now only weakest, but big drops — this "Expendables" did just over $16 million this weekend, compared to earlier openings of $34 and 28 million; the current "Step Up" heading to maybe $15 million while earlier films grossed between $35 and $68 million.
In the case of "Expendables" the answer possibly lies in its production roots. Avi Lerner's international-market influenced Millennium Films (which sometimes releases its product, but often enters into distribution deals with others) has produced the series and played the key role in decisions. The can-you-top-this cast here seems to have been created for maximum foreign appeal, where the top names (Stallone, Ford, Schwarzenegger, Gibson) aren't as stale as they might be to domestic audiences, with other stars from other regions having specific appeal elsewhere. Meantime, having ten actors all of whom have been leads in major hits at one time or another in film or TV didn't seem to have big appeal. Finally, the success of this film will be determined outside the U.S.. Two other factors — an PG13 rating this time after R previously, and the widespread illegal availability of an online pirated copy — may have had an impact, but hardly to the degree this fall off indicates.
As for "Step Up All In," this just seems tired after five entries, and has also not had the carry over of creative players, actors and story lines that a successful series usually demands. It also has come to Lionsgate only for the last two films, previously having been released by Buena Vista in partnership with Summit.

I'd like to whitelist Sentry the same way we do Arecibo right now, i.e.: things like IOError are ignored.
Sentry will just collect the tracebacks into one report, it won't continue mailing them (if I understand it correctly)
what is this bug about?
Sentry is working fine for us now, we should remove the code I added to try and stem the flood of tracebacks.

What Lee did was to choose input from the internet marketing expert. He bought their ebooks and videos and learned all he could about how they advised him to run his internet marketing
online business
. But he didn't slavishly follow what they recommended.
History understands a lot of cases when economic meltdowns created chances for new enterprises and fearless startups as well as unexpectedly rewarding marketing investments. The Great Depression turned out the fantastic ticket for countless businesses. Disney, Procter & Gamble, Camel and Chevrolet, to name a few, were among the businesses that blossom and thrived while others were urgently fighting for survival. They saw an opportunity and grabbed the second. They were advertising when others cut down promoting budgets. They offered new merchandises when others believed no one could afford to buy. They stayed composed in the across-the-board market mess and they ended up outstandingly successful.

My name is Father Time and I've an On-Line SuperStore that I created after writing thousands of articles for other folks to use as post Marketing bits. These individuals had websites and they wanted to boost them, so they might pay me to compose articles for them, which they would subsequently re-place on sites for example www.ArticlesBase.com and this would help with their website traffic enormously!
You'll desire to simplify your sales replicate as much as possible. That's one of the basics of good copywriting. Never make your copy overly challenging and instead make it as simple as possible. Your words should be simplified and you should make your copy incredibly effortless to follow. As long as your readers can comprehend it readily. A lot of people believe that copywriting is difficult due to the complex nature of the writing. When the genuine fact is, a great copy is straightforward.

It's every parent's nightmare: the little darlings you've spent years raising say they want body modifications.
President Barack Obama shared his tattoo prevention tactics on NBC's Today show, saying that if his daughters Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, get tattoos, they will be publicly humiliated on popular video sharing site YouTube.
"What we've said to the girls is, 'If you guys ever decide you're going to get a tattoo, then mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo, in the same place, and we'll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo," he told Today's Savannah Guthrie.
"Our thinking is that might dissuade them from thinking that somehow that's a good way to rebel."
He also explained the slip-up that his wife Michelle made when she accidentally referred to herself as a "busy single mother". The President said: "I tend to cut my wife or anybody some slack when it comes to just a slip of the tongue. But there's no doubt that there've been times where Michelle probably felt like a single mom."

The views are lovely and give you a good panoramic 360 degree view of the city. Although only 8 stories high, the height of each storey of the building means you're higher than the 8th storey of a modern building. There are good photos marking the key buildings you can see, and helpfully giving you the date of construction of...
It cost €4 to go up to the Mirador (viewing deck), which gives a great relaxed 360 degree view. Queues are short, if at all, and the attraction is well managed. Buy your ticket at the Taquilla window when you arrive, no need to pre-book.
The interesting thing is that this is a Madrid Council centre, but it provides lounges...
You can go to the top and see the city. You need to buy a ticket that take you 2 Euros. Inside there is a free museum. But the best of the museum is the building's architecture.
Beautiful building from outside and inside that hosts many different exhibitions. Perfect to escape heat of Madrid and discover modern art. I loved almost all of the exhibitions, especially photography. I spend two hours going slowly from one floor to another. Worth to visit. And its for free!
Just happened on this place in passing and noticed that entrance was free. All of the displays were thought provoking and fantastic. There were displays about women's rights and disability. The whole experience was entrancing. The only cost is if you want to visit the observation deck and you must buy tickets outside before entering the building. Not to be...
Set in the imposing square opposite the Banco de Espana, this used to be (more or less) the Post Office building. It is an architectural masterpiece, particularly from the outside. Parts of the interior are also very impressive although somewhat lacking in attractions to capture one's interest. There is a cafeteria and a restaurant, both rather pricey. However, it is...
A stunningly beautiful building, it just jumps out at you as you turn the corner, it should make you go wow instead of EH? A large banner at the front of the building spoils the view.
You can actually sit at a desk, enjoy free WiFi, and do some work in there without paying anything. All the art exhibitions (some of them odd, but still...) are free, you only have to pay 2 euros if you want to go up to the observation deck. From there, you can see Madrid quite well. There is one restaurant...

Re: Islamic friendly hotels
Hi - maybe you would like to consider renting an apartment? You will have more space for your family - usually at a lower price too. And you can control the alcohol/food. You'd be able to find appropriate restauarants in any neighborhood. You can check www.vrbo.com or www.homeaway.com if you are interested. Enjoy Paris!

Re: Islamic friendly hotels
Try this web site. http://www.halaltrip.com/
Type in Paris. I only found one place and it was a hostel but looked nice.
Another possibility is to contact the Institute du Monde Arabe and see if they can offer advice. http://www.imarabe.org/ On the very bottom line is a "contact" link where you can e-mail them.
The Paris Tourist Bureau as suggested above is an excellent suggestion.
Enjoy your trip.

Re: Islamic friendly hotels
I agree with Donna.
best is to rent an apartment. We did the same
when we went to paris and it was a better arrangement.
In paris hotels, usually there is no iron, no fridge
no microwave and no coffee or tea maker ( at least not
around 2009). Also one had to pay for internet. Then
most rooms are the size of a king sized bed.
The apartment on the other hand, have bigger size and
have all the amenities available. And there are
apartments available in every location of Paris.
You can, however, check the hotels as well. we were in
Zurich last year and stayed at Crowne Plaza. I was surprised
to see in the guest services book in the room that there
was option for prayer mat and to point out the direction
of Ka'aba and also there was option to prepare meals for
Ramadan. There may be such hotels in Paris as well.

I write this with considerable apprehension over how it will be received by a largely NRI audience. The subject of my debut post is the late lamented Sathya Sai Baba who I believe has a considerable following within the expatriate Indian community. Since my comments are not going to be exactly decorous and laudatory, I offer my sincere apologies in advance.
The Sathya Sai Baba has been laid to rest with full honours of the Indian State and amidst great outpourings of grief from celebrities, political figures and ordinary men alike. (I would have liked to say 'laid to rest for good,' but for the Baba's well-known propensity for rebirth). In my opinion, the entire pageantry surrounding his death and the association of the State with it is a matter of profound shame for the nation, for we have not only glorified the Baba by so doing, but also legitimized all that he stood for throughout his life – public deception, imposture, trickery, pseudoscience and mediocre spirituality. I might sound malevolent, but I must assure you that I have nothing personal against the 'godman' per se. In fact, I am of the opinion that his unconventional hairdo was quite ahead of his time. What I have an issue with, however, is the kind of things he (and all other men of his trade) expects his customers to believe, and which take us back in time to the mediaeval ages – things like reincarnation, miracle healing, magical apparitions and the like. In an age and time when India is sending rockets to explore space and developing cutting-edge computing chips, a public mourning for someone who embodied the supernatural seems completely absurd and incongruous.
It is being pointed out to sceptics like me that great men from all walks of life have been his life-long devotees and that the scale of his philanthropic activities is enough to merit him a high pedestal in public memory in spite of the all the mumbo-jumbo that he claimed to do throughout his career. I take serious exception to both these contentions. Just because Sachin Tendulkar sheds tears at his funeral, there is no reason for the entire world to follow suit. Moreover, there is something fundamentally wrong in calling the Baba a philanthropist. The essence of philanthropy is giving without the expectation of receiving anything in return. Whatever good work the Baba might have done was not for free; it was in exchange for a belief by his followers and beneficiaries in the divine concept called 'Sai Baba'. He purchased blind faith in his supernatural powers by giving poor and illiterate people in some villages essential commodities like food, water and electricity - things for which they can believe any incredulous and absurd thing they are asked to. Had he done all this as an ordinary, mortal being sans any divine pretensions, I would have held him in utmost respect. But alas, all of his philanthropy seems only to have been an exercise to grow his popularity and feed his vain ego through the ignorance of the uneducated or else irrational masses.
How are we to measure the true worth of his life? If we are to measure it in terms of the number of followers he gathered, then he was a very successful man. If it be the quality of his performances, I would pronounce him pedestrian at best, for in that line of business, he competes with other, more subtle and infinitely more elegant performers like P.C. Sorcar - the very same magician who at one point in time was determined to expose the Baba but later gave up, possibly due to opposition from influential quarters. But if the measure of his life be his contribution to society in terms of spiritual, philosophical or religious output, I fear a closer inspection would only reveal that whatever he preached was mostly banal, common-sense or a restatement of the teachings of other men who have come before him. He has, I believe, not revealed any insights on life and living that a third-standard moral science book does not contain. His life, in that sense, has been really insignificant and definitely not worthy of the kind of fanfare that we have seen in the last few days. Were I to even believe in reincarnation, I would never wish another version of such an overrated person on a thinking and rational populace.
India swears by the motto of 'Satyameva Jayate' or 'Truth Alone Triumphs'. It is interestingly one of the more scientific national mottos in the world, if we compare it with those of the great nations like the US ('In God We Trust') or the UK ('Dieu et Mon Droit' – God and My Rights). However, we have historically been labelled as the land of Babas, Fakirs, Sadhus and fortune tellers, and by publicly endorsing the life of another such entity, we have lived up to our mediaeval identity and certainly not the one we advertise to the world today. Talking of national identity, there are those who would say that our foremost identity is that of a 'spiritual' nation, and paying homage to someone like the Sathya Sai Baba is a part of living that spiritual identity – which brings me to the fundamental question that I wish to pose through this article.
What is 'spirituality'? Is it the idea that one must surrender one's intelligence and common sense at the altar of 'revealed' wisdom flowing from enchanted demigods? If that be so, then I feel spirituality is a blot on the human intellect and a human being's essential capacity to think and reason. On the other hand, if 'spirituality' talks about the search for meaning in life beyond mere workaday existence and understanding oneself in relation to the universe, then it is one of the noblest pursuits that man can indulge in and I should be proud to associate myself with a spiritual nation. Which of the two identities we wish for ourselves is a choice we have to make and show to the world through our words and actions.
Personally, my understanding of spirituality and the so-called 'miraculous' is best articulated in the words of the English novelist Joseph Conrad in The Shadow Line:
"All my moral and intellectual being is penetrated by an invincible conviction that whatever falls under the dominion of our senses must be in nature and, however exceptional, cannot differ in its essence from all the other effects of the visible and tangible world of which we are a self-conscious part. The world of the living contains enough marvels and mysteries as it is—marvels and mysteries acting upon our emotions and intelligence in ways so inexplicable that it would almost justify the conception of life as an enchanted state. No, I am too firm in my consciousness of the marvellous to be ever fascinated by the mere supernatural which (take it any way you like) is but a manufactured article, the fabrication of minds insensitive to the intimate delicacies of our relation to the dead and to the living, in their countless multitudes; a desecration of our tenderest memories; an outrage on our dignity."

As a taster to its fascinating annual Equity-Gilt study, which is to be published in its full form next month, CSFB tell us that pounds 100 invested in UK equities 80 years ago (in other words immediately after the end of the First World War) would finally have topped the pounds 1m mark in value by the end of last year. By comparison, gilts would have grown to a mere pounds 13,315 and cash to just pounds 7,038.
Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that equities are always the best investment in the short term. Last year, they were positively thrashed by gilts, which delivered a 25 per cent return. Equities earned a more modest 13.7 per cent, or not significantly more than cash, which yielded nearly 8 per cent. So plainly it doesn't always pay to be invested in shares. All the same, it is certainly true that on a long view, equities have always outperformed. Perhaps a more useful exercise, then, would be to try and define what the long term is. According to Shushil Wadhawani of Tudor Investment Corporation, the average annual real rate of return from US equities over the last 200 years has been 7 per cent. This average holds good for almost any 70-year period you care to name. At 8 per cent, CSFB comes up with a surprisingly similar number for the real annual rate of return on UK equities since 1918. Unless you are investing for your new- born baby's late retirement, however, very few of us are going to be taking that kind of perspective. Only the big pension funds would normally invest in financial assets on any more than a 25-year view, the usual length of a mortgage endowment policy.
Of course, for periods of shorter than 70 years, there is a quite considerable variance. The $64,000 question is whether after 20 years of well above trend return from equities, we are entering a period of much lower or even negative growth. Unfortunately there is no easy answer to this question since history can never be a reliable guide to how long any trend might be sustained. But common sense tells us that even if the stock market is not about to collapse, the double digit growth of recent years must be about to come to an end.
One of the reasons we have had such a long period of equity inflation is that investors have been prepared to accept lower "equity risk premiums". This is just a poshed up way of saying that investors tolerate higher valuations for shares because they believe companies to be a less risky form of investment against the alternatives than they were. There are plenty of good reasons for thinking this. Governments, at least in the West, are generally better at macro-economic management, and corporate management is on the whole much more sophisticated. However, this continuing shrinkage in the premium is also in part just an echo from the prolonged bout of relatively high inflation we have just been through. Companies are a better hedge against rising prices than bonds, whose value can be completely destroyed by inflation.
If we are indeed entering a new phase of low inflation and low growth, then these trends may go into reverse. Last year's outperformance by gilts suggest that they already are. Marks and Spencer has its own special difficulties right now, but for the doyen of British retailing to announce a near halving of profits is indicative of just how tough the corporate environment is becoming.
None of this necessarily means there is going to be a crash. But it is hard to disagree with CSFB's central conclusion that we are heading for a period when returns will be much closer to the norm than they have been, or even below it.
I DON'T think I was wrong to be so sanguine about the Brazilian crisis when I wrote about it earlier this week. As is so often the case when politicians finally bow to the inevitable, the immediate reaction in markets to President Cardoso's decision to abandon his defence of the currency was one of relief.
We should be careful not to underestimate the import of what's just happened, of course. The dollar peg was the cornerstone of President Cardoso's strategy for dragging Brazil out of decades of hyper inflation and economic chaos. That policy now lies in tatters, and with it both his own and the IMF's credibility. Furthermore, it is quite easy to imagine a doomsday scenario stretching from these events to a big slow down in the US economy, a crash on Wall Street and a severe worldwide recession.
But a bit like Britain when it came out of the ERM, the economic consequences of allowing the exchange rate to float may be largely to the good. Providing there is no widescale default and President Cardoso can continue to push through his fiscal reforms, then there is still a good chance of disaster being averted.
THE MIRROR GROUP share price has suffered a terrible beating since the company terminated merger talks with Axel Springer of Germany last summer. David Montgomery, Mirror's chief executive, must be wishing he had taken the 240p a share which may then have been on offer. But he wanted more from the next door neighbour and former colleague, Gus Fischer, who now runs the German publishing goliath. It was not to be.
Still, in recent weeks, the share price has been regaining some of the lost ground, stimulated in part by a revival of on-off merger talks with Trinity, Britain's largest regional newspaper group. Right now the talks are said to be off again, much to the dismay of Mirror Group's biggest shareholder, Phillips & Drew, which believes both companies need to get bigger to thrive in today's highly competitive market place. Unfortunately, the two sides can agree neither on a division of top jobs nor on terms. According to the Trinity spin, it is all Mr Montgomery's fault. He refused to accept that the top job in the combined group should go to Trinity's Philip Graf. According to the Mirror Group spin, Trinity was pushing for too large a share of the pie, and in any case lacked the stomach for the sort of cost-cutting needed to justify the merger. At a reported annual saving of just pounds 10m, this would scarcely seem to justify any merger, let alone one of this size, but presumably there would be other long- term synergies and benefits to be had from combining the two groups' regional newspaper interests.
The trouble is that Mirror Group is still chiefly known for its national newspaper titles and Mr Graf seems not a bit interested in either owning or running these. One possible solution would be to sell or spin them off, either as a prelude to, or as part of the merger. Axel might still be prepared to buy these titles and the City is alive with talk of a venture capital bid for all or part of the group. One thing is for sure. Mr Montgomery has to find some way of realising shareholder value. His earnings keep rising, but nobody wants to listen to his story. The company is said to be considering a name change, so perhaps Mr Montgomery should take up Michael Bloomberg's suggestion and opt for E.mirror. Maybe then those blighters in the City would finally sit up and take notice.
