Prospective Memory
A Brief Introduction
Prospective memory refers to remembering to perform intended actions in the future, or simply, remembering to remember. Examples of prospective memory include: remembering to take medicine at night before going to bed, remembering to deliver a message to a friend, and remembering to pick up flowers for a significant other on an anniversary. Because a great deal of each day is spent forming intentions and acting on those intentions, it is no surprise that at least half of everyday forgetting is due to prospective memory failures (Crovitz & Daniel, 1984).
It is important to understand prospective memory not only because of the ubiquity of prospective memory demands, but also because prospective memory failures can be devastating. For example, aircraft pilots must remember to perform several actions sequentially prior to take-off and landing and failure to remember to perform any of these actions may result in injury or death. Although aircraft crew prospective memory failures rarely occur or lead to injury, Dismukes (2006) noted that almost 1/5 of major airline accidents can be attributed to prospective memory failures. Moreover, people who must remember to take medication depend upon their prospective memory for maintaining their health. In a recent Australian survey (Nelson, Reid, Ryan, Willson, & Yelland, 2006), individuals who reported to forgetting to take their blood pressure medication at least one time were significantly more likely to have a heart attack or die than individuals who did remember to take their medication. Because intention forgetting has the potential to be devastating, it is important to learn more about the strategies that improve prospective memory. To do so, a greater understanding of prospective memory must be obtained, with careful focus on how memories are retrieved. By understanding how intentions can be successfully retrieved, strategies can be formulated which will promote efficiency and functionality.
Our Research
A current debate in the prospective memory literature regards the mechanism that allows prospective memories to be retrieved. Monitoring theory argues that strategic, nonautomatic preparatory processes must be engaged before the occurrence of a target event if one is to successfully retrieve an intention (Smith, 2003; Guynn, 2003). Consequently, a prospective memory intention can only be successfully retrieved if the person monitors for his or her prospective memory cue. Furthermore, because monitoring is nonautomatic and capacity-consuming, successful prospective memory should be associated with costs (slowing or errors) on the ongoing task.
Alternatively, spontaneous retrieval theory (see McDaniel & Einstein, 2007 on publications page) argues that the intention retrieval process is much more automatic than the retrieval process described by monitoring theory. Introspectively, we experience this near-automatic process when memories "pop" into mind. Unlike the nonautomatic preparatory processes that are required to monitor, spontaneous retrieval argues that the appearance of a target can trigger remembering without incurring a cost on an ongoing task. Put simply, the idea is that an intention can be retrieved without keeping the intention in consciousness. A major goal of research in this laboratory is providing empirical support for the existence of spontaneous retrieval processes. In addition, we are very interested in the interplay between monitoring and spontaneous retrieval processes and in determining which factors lead an individual to rely on one retrieval mechanism over another (see McDaniel & Einstein, 2000 for an overview of the Multiprocess Framework).
Another interest in this lab regards prospective memory and aging. Broadly speaking, past research is mixed regarding age differences in prospective memory; some experiments find age effects and others do not. Although these results at first seem confusing they may be understood by the multiprocess framework (McDaniel & Einstein). The multiprocess framework states that sometimes people rely on spontaneous retrieval processes and sometimes people rely on monitoring. Taken alone, this might not mean much for aging. However, according to Craik (1986) age differences arise in memory tasks that require effortful, cognitive-capacity-consuming retrieval processes to be engaged. On the other hand, age-related declines are not associated with memory tasks that encourage automatic retrieval. When applied to prospective memory, one would then expect age differences to be greatest during tasks that encourage monitoring and minimal or nonexistent in tasks that encourage reliance on spontaneous retrieval processes. We are currently investigating this idea and preliminary findings (Einstein, Scullin, Arnold, Bishop, & McDaniel, 2006) suggest that spontaneous retrieval processes are preserved in older adults.
A third interest in this lab concerns strategies that are argued to improve prospective memory performance. One strategy that is growing in popularity is the implementation intention strategy. Implementation intentions, as described by Gollwitzer (1999), involve visualization of performance of the intended action accompanied by a clear statement that when a certain situation arises, a particular response will be made. So if you want to remember to turn off your cell phone before entering the lecture room you might visualize yourself silencing your phone while you are in the hallway as well as state "when I enter the building I will turn off my cell phone." We are currently investigating whether implementation intentions improve prospective memory performance as well as why they would do so. One possibility is that implementation intentions bolster spontaneous retrieval processes (McDaniel, Howard, & Butler, 2008). Because spontaneous retrieval processes seem to be preserved in older adults (Einstein, Scullin, Arnold, Bishop, & McDaniel, 2006) an implementation intention strategy may be particularly helpful for improving remembering in this population.

Chapter 1 Baby Ant
Once upon a time a looong time ago in the deep dark jungle there lived a giant Rhinosaurus. The Rhinosaurus was named Theologis. Theologis loved all the animals in the jungle and all the animals in the jungle loved Theologis.
One day Theologis was out walking with his best friend, Tara. Tara was sitting on Theologis's nose, right behind his giant horn.
They had been walking for a few minutes when it began to rain. It didn't rain very hard. It didn't rain very long. Theologis and Tara stood under a large rock while it rained. When the rain was over, they started to walk again.
Suddenly Tara said, "Stop Theologis, I hear something."
Theologis stopped and listened very closely. He heard someone whimpering. "Hmmm-Hmmm, Hmmm-Hmmm"
Tara hopped to the ground and listened carefully. Theologis listened too. They found a teeny, tiny, little bitty, baby ant sitting on a leaf, crying his eyes out.

CREDITS: Directed by Chris Streams
MEMORABLE LINE: "Where's the cum?" Sativa Rose inquires excitedly.
SCENE 1: "Deep Cock Diving " (Sativa Rose, Chris Streams and Mark Davis)
This movie celebrates the value of hot girls getting fucked the right way and being served triple servings of protein shakes in their various natural consistencies. Great performances by the all of the girls, especially Gen Padova, and the able woodsmanship of topnotch fucker Mark Davis. This is one tasty treat you wouldn't want to miss!
Our first scene features Sativa Rose: a girl with faint Indian beauty with an enchanting sexual aura (meaning you'd just want to fuck the living hell out of her). She enters the room and the first thing we see are her tits. Once the camera locks in on her kajungas, we barely notice her red bikini and funky pink belt. She taunts and begs for cum but Chris can only play with her. She kneels down in front of Chris and pleads cock. A guy, who can't resist a yearning slut, obliges, beat off and shoots in her mouth. After some cum play, she swallows. Another john comes to the rescue and gives her a hit. She beats the guy off, makes a sticky mess on her mout, ingests the cum and waits for another. What is this? Fast food? Big bald and beefy Mark finally makes his entrance, sits back on the sofa and lets the bitch hunker down to suck his great woody. Sativa seeing a winner between his legs, administers a deep throat and lusty tromboning. The tussle begins with a thigh-slapping cowgirl. He then holds her down the sofa for a leg-raising mish, then a spooning. Mark lunges and stabs at her pussy while biting into her foot. Sativa screams as he excavates her twatty goodness. There's a nice exchange of banter between the two as Sativa begs for him to cum. While pulling on her face, Mark bites into her neck and slaps her ass. They go back to the sofa for a doggy. Mark uses her like a beast of burden, holding her arms like they're reins to a horse. He then goes on a squat doggy. Mark is a thrill ride by himself, with the way Sativa squeals and screams in delight. I like the way Mark tries to play with her. He relents and soon gets it on with a bumpy RC. Sativa freaks out as Mark drives himself further in. Seeing she's had enough cock whipping, Mark beats off to feed her his balls gravy. She opens wide to for creamy gobs of man gravy. She looks positively thrilled. After wanting more, another guy beats off and deposits his cum into her mouth. After 3 guys, she says she's full.
SCENE 2: "D/P Baby " (Sharka Blue, Mick Blue and Steve Holmes)
Mick Blue and gorgeous Sharka arrive with her held on a leash. Mick shows off her ass while slapping it. He then takes off her top to reveal natural vanilla tits. He grabs her hand and places it on the cameraman's groin. to liberate the monster within. Once it's free, she plays the head like it's a lollipop. In between sucks, she clubs the head on her nipples. As the monster awakens, she beats it off and sucks it good and hard! She plays him a lusty trombone, eating his balls and rubbing down the shaft. Within minutes, camera guy cums. The camera guy calls on Mick and reports how she's such a hungry bitch! Emboldened, Mick brings John into the room for a 2-in-1. After a quick double microphone, John rims her tight ass while Mick introduces his dick into her mouth. Mick straddles her for a vag squat doggy while John gets his dong bopped. They stop to fingerfuck her vag, segueing the doggy into a double drill! Not able to sustain it, John positions her for an anal RC, controlling the rhythm of their copulation. Mick's groans a duet with Sharka's caterwauling when he rejoins the two for another d/p. Sharka then rolls forward for a reverse cowgirl d/p. Mick disengages so the two resume the cowgirl. After another d/p, Sharka sucks Mick while John sidles behind her for a spooning and an awkward fingercuff. Mick rubs her twat while John continues to fuck her in the ass. Moments later, Sharka rushes to the finish with a cowgirl, standing cowgirl, then standing d/p. The result is a rather amusing ditty of two guys groaning in unison. Sharka is carried down the floor and receives a double protein shakes. She licks herself clean. Three servings really did the trick!
SCENE 3: "Come To Daddy 2" (Gen Padova and Mark Davis)
This is one hot scene! What came as initially boring ended up being exciting! Eurotrash Gen arrives in a goth chick outfit complete with skull and cross-bone designed shirt. There is something about her face that's off-putting. Maybe because she has closely-set puppy-dog eyes and a waxen face. She lifts up her skirt and displays her conservative tits. Though she has the tight body of a young twenty something, I wasn't that impressed. During the first (and least interesting half) of the scene, Gen gets her cum treats from the cameraman and another joe from the stairs. Things start getting heated once she meets up with big bald beefy Mark. As usual, she starts with a kneel-down deep throat. To my amazement, her oralizing skills suddenly become encouraging. It seems Gen likes Mark. Once she sees him, I could almost swear that her face lit up. Afterwards, Gen shows off with a five-second deep throat! In return, her pussy gets stuffed with Mark's probing fingers, and her ass rendered raw from Mark's spanking. But she doesn't seem to mind! Gen and Mark have a thing going. But the playfulness doesn't last when Mark shows her he means business. He dives down her snatch and bites hard, which startles the peroxide blonde. He then mercilessly fingerfucks her and somehow drives the poor girl crazy. Her thighs convulse as she slides down the floor, her body shaking uncontrollably. What did this guy do? When she finally rights herself for a few seconds, he scoops out her hair from the back and bites down the exposed nape. He then raises her back in the chair for an RC. Terribly upset, she screams out. Mark lies down and rides a bouncy cowgirl with her on top. She gyrates her hips while he's still inside. After P2M, she seems to be in pain again when he cradles her in a tight cowgirl embrace, then a leg-raising mish. He attacks her pussy anew with clubbing and another harsh mish attack. Shifting positions, Mark raises her for a standing cowgirl. Finally, he sets her down and shoots his foamy load into her mouth. He clubs, stretches her mouth and backs off. Gen can only look relieved.
SCENE 4: "You The Man!" ( Luscious Lopez and Mr. Pete)
Now, we see a rather odd-looking Italian girl! Her name is Luscious Lopez, but I bet she used to answer to the name Lucius. Despite her nice jiggly butt and inviting tits, she has large beefy thighs, a strong patrician nose and a square jaw. And why is she wearing too much makeup, is she hiding a five o'clock shadow? When she doubles up to let us see her twat, I try to imagine her to be someone else. Her face really looks weird. The camera zeroes in on her cunt and asshole. The camera guy massages and fingers her ass. She tells us she's here to eat some dick and swallow cum. Just to let us know that she's here for the right reasons. She kneels down and shows us her long (freaky) tongue. Mr. Pete enters the scene and greets her with an uncharacteristic tender kiss. He then face fucks her, forcing her to lengthy deep throat. Lucius, I mean Luscious, bends over again to receive beef injections, doggy style. Stud then goes down to eat her pussy while she jiggles that Jennifer Lopez ass, then comes back with a doggy. He then repositions her on the sofa for a squat mish and regular mish. During the heated proceedings, she squirts! Using her belt, she reels him in for some making out as he rides her. He fingerfucks her rosebud then stuffs it with his boner. He then mercilessly finger fucks her pussy to make it squirt again. They rest for while after they regroup with a side saddle/doggy (then squat). Come P2M, he squirts on her mouth, plays with the cum and swallows. She asks for more cum and two other guys come to shoot on her face. Somewhat satisfying.
SCENE 5: "Something New Out Of Something Worn" (Jane Darling, Franco Roccaforte and Kid Jamaica Tony)
We find Jane in bed, caressing herself, and teasing her bare essentials. Essentials, being a big wrinkled (worn-looking) pussy and a semi-tight ass. This pretty dirty blonde is a pro! But as we look up, she has a nice ripe face of a woman. She has a nice smile though, which in this case means nada. Camera guy takes off her right boob and massages it. She then starts finger fucking herself. She sits up and begins messing with her twat. Black bruthas Franco and Tony then arrive for a double microphone. Franco then squats to finger fuck our lady in heat. Eager for pussy, he lies down to tongue fuck her ass hole, and finger fuck her pussy. At the top, her mouth is busy with Tony's dong. Then comes the doggy fingercuff, Jane bends over to eat Franco's cock while Tony plunders her vaginal riches (or what's let of it). Look at Jane try her hand at extreme deep throat! Soon after, she tackles an anal RC fingercuff. The heat is turned up a notch with a hot d/p. The two guys pound her mercilessly and the slut reacts like it's nothing! She then tries to stuff two black dicks into her mouth! Wow, what a consummate performer. The guys then enforce vag then anal spooning fingercuff. Franco then maneuvers a squat doggy. Then, smooth operators that they are engage her again in a double drill. It doesnt last long though and they go back to a doggy fingercuff. A cowgirl later, Tony saddles up for an alternating d/p and cowgirl fingercuff. The d/p sessions here are hot! They all got into each other's groove. Pussy and ass juices get mixed on her mouth as she sucks both boners. Franco and Tony eventually release their hostages on her mouth. Again, we have her do cum play and swallowing. In this sizzling finale, Jane truly is a darling!

AN accountant is riding on the crest of a wave after completing a challenging open water swim – even though an accident meant he couldn't start training until a few weeks before the event.
Steven Greenwood, 53, a partner at Cassons business advisers LLP in Haslingden, decided to take part in the Great North Swim after being set a challenge by his son and daughter on Christmas Day.
But a skiing accident put paid to his training programme, leaving him just weeks to get fit in time to take part in the event at Windermere.
Steven said: "My son Adam is involved with organising the Great North Swim and suggested I take part.
"Initially I thought 'no way', but my daughter Sarah had signed up, so she cajoled me into it. And when my nephew David decided to take part as well it became a real family affair.
"We decided to raise funds for Pendleside Hospice because of the fantastic support they give to the local community. We wanted to help support them to continue what they do.
"Unfortunately I cracked two ribs during a skiing trip in January, which meant I was out of action for two months, so getting fit in time for the race was a real challenge."
With just 10 weeks to prepare for the event, Steven took to the pool at Crow Wood Leisure in Burnley, a client of Cassons.
He said: "I could only swim 20 lengths the first time I got into the pool and I knew I needed to be able to do 60 to be fit enough to complete the challenge."
Gradually building up his stamina, Steven was able to achieve his 60-length goal with just a week to go.
But he then faced another obstacle – completing his training in open water.
A couple of practice sessions at Salford Quays in the week leading up to the swim proved tough but gave Steven the confidence to take to the water at Windermere.
And despite fearing he'd struggle to finish the mile-long swim, Steven completed the course in just 57 minutes, helping to raise over £1,800 for the hospice.
He said: "I was really surprised, I honestly didn't expect to complete the course in under an hour."
As for doing it all again, Steven admits he'd be tempted, adding: "The swim has been a great way to build up strength and stamina and it'd be great to maintain that fitness – I just need to find the right goal."

The sheds at Tidmouth are the main engine sheds on Sodor. In the Railway Series, it is shown as a shed with three or four rails leading in (the illustrations were inconsistent), but in later books it was depicted as shed enclosing ten berths around a turntable. In the television series, the sheds were replaced a roundhouse with a turntable at the front.
The sheds were rebuilt in "Calling All Engines" with a new arcitechural style and an extra berth for Emily. Diesel, 'Arry and Bert were put in charge of building them, but Thomas, believing they were destroying it, sabotaged the three, meaning the engines had to sleep elsewhere until its repair.
Many events have taken place at the Sheds, such as the strike of the big engines and the confrontation between Duck, Diesel and the big engines.

New Mazda MX-5 Chassis Heading to New York Auto Show
It's not quite the full car reveal, but Mazda will be bringing something from its new MX-5 Miata to the 2014 New York Auto Show.
The highly anticipated debut of the next-generation MX-5 Miata isn't expected until the 2015 Chicago Auto Show, but New York Auto Show attendees this year will at least get to check out upcoming sports car's chassis. The new vehicle will be built on a shared-platform with Fiat, though the Italian automaker hasn't made it clear whether it'll be a Fiat or Alfa Romeo model. Mazda however, will be in charge of producing both vehicles.
SEE ALSO: Next Mazda MX-5 Miata to Debut at 2015 Chicago Auto Show
Being displayed alongside the new chassis will be iconic MX-5 models from the past, 15 in total, many of which comes from Mazda's facility in Irvine, California. Since the MX-5 Miata debuted at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, over 900,000 units have been built and sold.

OLD-TIME TUNES. Lucky for us Wade and Julia Mainer found out how nice Southwestern winters are compared to those frigid Michigan days this time of year. Jim Griffith of the Southwest Folklore Center says you're in for a real exciting event, with a chance to hear the best "of a world that doesn't really exist anymore." Wade is an old-time "Carolina two-finger style banjo picker and ballad singer" who first played mountain music professionally in the 1930s and recorded extensively until he moved to Michigan to work for General Motors in the '50s, about the same time Julia took time off from her mountain and gospel singing to raise their family.
They were nudged back into recording and performing in the '60s and still give a few concerts. Wade, who was born in North Carolina in 1907, is also a recipient of the NEA's National Heritage Award, and many of his early recordings have been reissued.
The Mainers present their free concert at 8 tonight at the Southwest Center for Music, 2175 N. Sixth Ave. The Stellar J's will open the show. For more information call 621-3392.
AUDIO BENEFIT BLAST. The Center for the Audio Arts got up and running in January, and Executive Director David Barber says with the way things are changing in audio these days, there's mucho opportunity out there. The Center, currently operating out of a big, old ranch house near the Mission, is a support group for independent radio producers. Barber says they're particularly interested in getting "at-risk kids excited about audio," which they do with a variety of workshops and presentations.
Tonight's benefit performance and auction will feature Jim Easterbrook, a singer, storyteller and poet you may know from KXCI, performing a one-man play, and cowboy poet Jon Richens, who might just sing you a song. The auction is filled with good stuff like signed copies of Larry McMurtry's Texasville, some framed western maps and art work.
Tonight's benefit is at the Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave., and a $7 donation at the door gets you in. For advance reservations or information on the Center call 620-6774.
DANCE, DANCE, DANCE. Look to the UA's dance faculty at 8 tonight and tomorrow night for this week's good-time dance event. The annual concert at Centennial Hall will feature the exciting "Steeplechase," choreographed by Jory Hancock, in which dancers take on the athletic stance of both the rider and the animals in a steeplechase racing event, named, by the way, because church steeples were originally what the riders were heading for. Hancock's piece was a favorite at the 1990 American College Dance Festival Competition.
Award-winning Chicago choreographer Randy Duncan presents his African-influenced "Women's Work," about the roles of women in society; it features six women and an original score by Tommy Mother. Melissa Lowe's "Mountain Songs" and Nina Janik's "Jaguar Heart" are all on tonight's program, which includes John Wilson's, "La Noche," a work inspired by the rhythms of medieval Spain.
Centennial Hall is just inside the Main Gate at Park Avenue and University Boulevard. Tickets are $10, $7 for students and seniors and are available at Dillard's or by calling the box office at 621-3341.
ARIZONA ON PAPER. Here's an exhibit of art work by local artists who spent a good deal of last year in the Slovak Republic in Central Europe, thanks to a cultural exchange program between the University of Arizona Museum of Art and the Galéria mesta Bratislavy in Bratislava.
Arizona On Paper, on display through March 23 at the UAMA, includes work by such well-known local artists as Jim Waid, Nancy Tokar Miller and David Andres. Waid has some black-and-white acrylic work that draws on the desert environment, while Tokar Miller's paintings were inspired by trips to Japan and the Yucatan.
An opening reception with the artists will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m. today at the museum located at Speedway and Park Avenue. Regular museum hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. For more information call 621-7567.
NO WAYS TIRED. Gobbling up gospel music is what we're doing, according to music charts we've scouted; looks like either we like the inspiration, the camaraderie or the out-thereness of it all.
Celebrating Black History Month, the local chapter of the Gospel Music Workshop of America will pay tribute to influential gospel composer Reverend James Cleveland tonight at 7:30 in the Proscenium Theatre at Pima Community College's Center for the Arts. GMWA is a national group promoting talented gospel singers while spreading the history of this early form of spiritual music. Tonight's "No Ways Tired Memorial Concert" will feature songs from Cleveland's legendary music.
Tickets are $8, $5 for students and seniors, and are available at the door, through Dillard's and by calling 884-6458. The Center for the Arts is at 2202 W. Anklam Road.
NAVAJO DANCE AND LECTURES. At the Arizona State Museum, just inside the UA Main Gate entrance at Park Avenue and University Boulevard, you will find the Paths of Life: American Indians of the Southwest exhibit with new Apache, Navajo and Hopi sections now open.
Using both the arts and the humanities, the museum, along with the Arizona Commission on the Arts and the Arizona Humanities Council, want to let you in on Understanding Cultures Through Art: Those Who Pass On the Traditions, a series of lectures and dances to explore the American Indians represented in the new exhibit.
At 1 p.m. today the Tse-Ho-Tso Dancers from Fort Defiance, a group of about 24 children, will perform on the front lawn of the museum. Navajos Clarenda Begay and David Yazzie will address the historical and cultural value of dance for the Navajo.
See the exhibit and dancers and hear the lectures all for free. Good outing. If it rains, head next door to the Center for English as a Second Language. Call 621-6302 for more information.
PROJECT CHOKI BIRTHDAY. Musicians and composers R. Carlos Nakai and Chuck Koesters help celebrate Project Choki's 14th birthday today with a benefit concert for the arts-education project working to preserve the indigenous art of Old Pascua Yaqui Village. This is another benefit performance by the generous Nakai, who is a well-known cedar flute player.
Get up to St. Philip's in the Hills, River Road and Campbell Avenue, early if you want good seats for this one. The concert begins at 2:45 p.m. The Murphey Gallery will open at 2 p.m. and will feature exhibits by Project Choki as well as art work for sale by the Old Pasqua Youth Artists. Signed tapes and CDs will be available for purchase after the concert. Non-reserved tickets are $12 and are available at Bahti Indian Arts, Rainbow Moods Bookstore and Huntington Trading Company, or they're $15 at the door. Children can attend by donation. $35 reserved tickets with $15 companion ticket are available by calling 323-0185.
IMMIGRATION LECTURE. In case you haven't noticed, the feds are trying to shut our borders down in a big way; and as semi-surprised as we all were that Proposition 187 passed in California, you can see the movement in our state with the new border strength and hype for border crossing fees.
Beginning at 6:30 tonight, Chicano rights activist Roberto Martinez will discuss Immigration Issues in California: Before and After Proposition 187 at the Pima Friends Meeting House, 931 N. Fifth Ave. Betsy Self, of the American Friends Service Committee, says Martinez, director of the U.S./Mexico border program for the AFSC in San Diego, is well-versed in horror stories concerning undocumented people since the passage of Prop. 187. Self says his talk will be guided by questions from the audience. The event is free and refreshments will be served. For more information call 623-9141.
FLUSH LIMBAUGH. Although rabid radio raw jaw Rush Limbaugh proclaims himself to be "the most dangerous man in America," we're hard-pressed to term him much more than the true beginning of the "Dumbing of America." But we can't ignore that he's got Wild Bill Clinton all worked up and actually sees himself as the man who brought health care reform to a screeching halt.
In tonight's Frontline documentary on KUAT Channel 6 at 9 p.m., hear a Republican Party honcho call him an "important figure in the party and more broadly in the movement." And if that's not enough to make you puke, get this--his mother (Limbaugh has a mother?) will feed you homespun wisdom like "he gets sense from his father and his nonsense from me." Sweet, ain't it? This show may rival the Addam's Family if we're lucky. Rush Limbaugh's America is actually airing at a strategic time--if tonight's PBS documentary sucks up enough to the conservative flap jock, it might keep the Corporation for Public Broadcasting alive another year. One can always hope.
HOAGLAND READS. Sweet Ruin, Tony Hoagland's award-winning book of poetry, is a travelogue around the human backbone, usually grazing the heart--but the uncalm trip is strangely inviting, with words you want to deliver and repeat:
A chair that scrapes.
The cricket, like a small appliance
singing. The air of every room
so ponderously still. I can tell
that it is not too late.
And then I think this ordinariness
will crush me in its fist.
And then I wish it would.
Hoagland, who has been published widely and was included in the anthology New American Poets of the '90s, received his MFA from the UA's Creative Writing Department. He's a great reader, as you'll find out when you hear him read from his work at 8 tonight in the Modern Languages Auditorium on the UA campus. The reading is free and easy. For more information call 321-7760.

Friend, welcome to the first week of Bible Road Trip! I am so excited to unveil this family-oriented 3 Year Bible Survey for kids from preschool through high school! You can find my statement of faith here.
Bible Road Trip is free for you to use in your home or small group. Please adhere to US copyright law and refrain from copying (in whole or in part) any part of the curriculum to your blog, website or social media, but I encourage you to share the links to the curriculum so that your friends can have the opportunity to begin their own Bible Road Trip in their homes!
For our first week, let's discuss the different grade levels, and the educational philosophy behind them. You'll find your free, downloadable curriculum link for Bible Road Trip ~ Week One Year One at the bottom of the post…..
One of my favorite ways to educate and disciple our children–both before we homeschooled, and now as we educate at home–has always been to gather at the couch, read aloud, discuss what we've learned, then apply those lessons in some concrete way. As children age, this approach changes a bit. After all, we want to help our children own their faith in Christ. Part of discipleship is passing the torch onto another believer. What a blessing to be able to do that for our children!
Bible Road Trip allows every family member to survey the Bible at their own developmental level, and still be able to discuss the week's lessons at the dinner table. You'll notice that each developmental level is studying the same area of Scripture at the same time, yet with a different emphasis. Bible Road Trip is designed so that a child beginning the program in preschool can cycle through the Bible survey five times before they leave home. Each trip through the Bible will provide a deeper, richer experience. This design follows the Christian Classical model of education.
Harvey and Laurie Bluedorn of Trivium Pursuit have written a terrific article "Definition for Classical Education" on the different developmental or learning stages employed in Christian Classical Education. Their work may help clarify some of the thinking behind the stages if you wish to do further research.
I'm going to briefly outline the five grade levels employed in Bible Road Trip. Please do not feel constrained by the grades I've listed. I have put grades in to help you choose a level that is appropriate, but the program levels are based on the developmental stages of learning: Preschool/Kindergarten, Grammar, Dialectic (or Logic), and Rhetoric. You'll want to have an idea about how each stage develops, as it will help you understand the goal for your child.
Preschool / Kindergarten
At this stage, children will be gaining familiarity with the Bible. You'll be addressing basic topics like sin and salvation, and introducing kids to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The program at this level consists of reading aloud, crafts, Bible verse memorization, and a great video.
Lower Grammar ~ Grades 1-3
The grammar developmental stage is all about gathering facts, information, and knowledge. Children in the lower grammar stage delight in learning new things. The world is a fascinating adventure, and YOU are the tour guide! This is a wonderful age to introduce children to the Bible. As they learn about God's Great Book, they're laying a foundation for the rest of their lives. Bible Road Trip will help your children understand that the Scriptures are more than just random stories. The Bible is the story of God's plan for redemption for the human race.
Children this age love highly visual resources, fun songs, hands-on crafts, and time spent with Mom and Dad (or Grandma and Grandpa!). The program at this stage is all about building a framework to understand the Bible. This is foundation on which their understanding of the Bible can be built.
Upper Grammar ~ Grades 4-6
Upper Grammar students also delight in gathering knowledge. Their brains are ready to soak up whatever they encounter. What better information to encounter, but the Word of God? As Upper Grammar students progress, they can take on more of their learning on their own. If you have not started a daily Bible reading program with your child, you may want to begin by reading the Bible aloud together, and end in Year 3 with your child reading silently, then meeting with you later to discuss the reading. At this developmental stage, it is wise to support your child's educational journey, yet to allow them greater freedom to learn on their own. Perhaps Scripture reading will remain a family activity, and notebooking will be an individual project.
Children at this age are growing, and we must watch them for clues as to their needs. Bible Road Trip for the Upper Grammar student is still highly visual, relational, and creative. Traveling through the Word of God is an exciting adventure, and the middle grade years are an important time to begin, or continue, the journey. Is your first to third grader ready for a little greater challenge? Move them up to Upper Grammar! Is your fourth grader struggling with one too many Bible memory verses? Adjust it to the Lower Grammar level, or something in between. Don't worry about grades or ages–we're concerned about developmental stages. As your children develop a deepening understanding of the Bible, they will be able to take on greater challenges, and to layer in more information.
Dialectic ~ Grades 7-9
The Dialectic stage can be among the most challenging for parents. These are the ages at which children are developing a greater understanding of connections. They're making developmental leaps, and looking for ways to relate the knowledge they've gathered. This is the Logic stage–where everything is a debate, and everything is negotiable. Our tendency, as parents, can be to throw up our hands at this age and walk away. Instead, let us delight in the fantastic mental pathways our children are forming! The Dialectic stage is vital. Our kids are learning to debate, to stand on their own beliefs, and develop a deep understanding of Scripture on their own. I can think of no more important time in childhood to depend upon the Lord for strength, to persevere, and to marvel in the opportunity we have to disciple growing human beings.
Bible Road Trip for the Dialectic student will encourage children to develop research skills, and to make connections not found in the text. Many of the notebooking and crafting projects for this age will incorporate information that will help your children put a solid structure of understanding on the foundation they are already building. Mini-research projects, a timeline (because events in the Bible occurred in history– and we know when! ), and an increasing challenge to learn about–and pray for–believers around the world are all a part of the Dialectic level of Bible Road Trip. I have intentionally left a lot of room for creativity in Bible Road Trip. I want you, and your children, to be able to own this journey.
To help you with the Dialectic timeline project, I've created this free 132-page My Timeline Notebook for you to download and print.
Rhetoric ~ Grades 10-12
The Rhetoric developmental stage is truly a time for children to take the wheel. On this Bible Road Trip, your high school aged students should be driving, and you should become a trusted navigator and companion. In the Rhetoric stage, young adults begin to apply all the knowledge and the logic they've gathered and connected. This is the stage at which your children will begin to venture into the world, to develop wisdom, to communicate what they've learned. The Rhetoric stage allows young men and women to apply what they've learned in a supported environment, to dig deeper, to own their faith, and to develop their walk with Christ.
Bible Road Trip for the Rhetoric student should be a challenge. Encountering the Old Testament and Encountering the New Testament are beginning college level texts. A student who has been trained to think, and who has been educated and discipled consistently, should be challenged by the resources, yet not stymied. If your student has not trained him or herself to think deeply yet, you may consider using the Dialectic text instead; this will still provide your child with an excellent overview of the Bible. However, if you are spiraling upward through the levels in Bible Road Trip, the previous stages should have prepared your Rhetoric student sufficiently.
Because Rhetoric students are moving into an adult role, in which they are able to appropriately communicate their faith and their wisdom, the Crafting Through the Word section includes a 3 year project in which your student will begin a blog or a vlog (a video version of a blog) to communicate what he or she is learning on a weekly basis. I understand that there may be concerns about internet safety. I leave all decisions about whether to actually publish your student's work online at your discretion. Should you be uncomfortable with a public format, students can make a series of videos, edit them and store them on a DVD. They can publish to a private blog, or just keep a notebook of "blog" entries. Alternately, they could begin their own small group, in which they lead (with your supervision) a Bible Road Trip of their own, a week or two behind their personal studies. Rhetoric students are preparing to share their faith. Whether they practice, or actually make the leap to a public forum, is up to your family. The Lord has placed you as their shepherd, and I trust your discernment. The Rhetoric level will also feature a deepening emphasis on service and community involvement. Again, all suggestions are intended to allow your young adult to develop a faith and a walk of their own.
Bible Road Trip ~ Year One Week One ~ What is the Bible? is attached in a downloadable, printable file at the end of this post.
You can download the Parent/Teacher Guide for Bible Road Trip here. To easily access the available weeks of Bible Road Trip, you may visit http://www.BibleRoadTrip.org or access the indexes at the top of the Thinking Kids site. Don't forget to visit The Bible Road Trip Store! If you're visual like me, you can find what you're looking for on my Bible Road Trip Pinterest boards: Year One, Year Two, and Year Three.
Each of the five developmental stages has a one to four page syllabus each week. Because the Bible Road Trip curriculum is designed to be used over the course of a five-day week, your family may have the time and desire to do every activity. On the other hand, you may wish to pick and choose your activities. For example, you may also find that your child loves to notebook, but doesn't care for crafting. Bible Road Trip was designed to give your family the flexibility to fit the curriculum to your family's needs.

This comprehensive app offers stories, photos, videos, and more. With the larger screen, videos and photos from around the globe are bound to pop more. 2 Share Tweet Pin Email Epicurious Ever wanted a digital cookbook to replace all the tomes in your kitchen? Epicuious on the iPad might just do the trick. Right now, the iPhone/iPod touch version is good for looking up ingredients on the go, but the screen might be a tad small for those trying to cook. The bigger iPad screen makes it easier to read the recipes while you actually cook. 3 Share Tweet Pin Email Facebook Scott Forstall, Apple's senior vice president of iPhone software, mentioned in today's announcement that Facebook would be a great addition to the iPad. He wasn't kidding. Considering that anyone with a decent amount of Facebook friends can access a wealth of profiles, updates, photos, and more, you can use it to be the hippest stalker ever. 4 Share Tweet Pin Email Flickr Flickr has always been a great resource for photographers and photography fans. With Flickr on the iPad, you'll be able to cycle through Flickr's amazing collection of photos with a much bigger screen. 5 Share Tweet Pin Email Google Earth So you thought taking a look around the world was fun on the iPhone? Think about messing with spinning the globe and taking a closer look into New Zealand or Italy with a larger screen? The iPad will let you explore the world with more ease. 6 Share Tweet Pin Email Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars We already knew that this popular game plays well on the iPhone 3GS and the Nintendo DS. But imagine blowing it up to twice the size. Explosions, shootouts, and cutscenes will be much more epic on the iPad. The touchiest GTA installment just got more crazy. 7 Share Tweet Pin Email Kindle If Apple plans to let Kindle stay on the iPhone/iPad platform, the Kindle app could be a good alternative to Apple's new iBooks bookstore. All the Kindle users out there who want to give the iPad a spin but want access to all their Kindle-format ebooks might best appreciate this app. 8 Share Tweet Pin Email Madden NFL 10 Madden on the iPhone just isn't Madden. Those who have been playing Madden in their living rooms for years know that the mobile version of the iconic game is fun, but the screen's a tad small to really lay out those plays and see your receivers. With the iPad, the Madden franchise will finally get a chance to play ball on the biggest portable screen yet. 9 Share Tweet Pin Email The Sims 3 If you've been looking to walk your Sim around with more precision and take in more details in this very successful adaptation, the iPad will be a good option. 10 Share Tweet Pin Email SimCity The iPhone version of SimCity only had one glaring problem—the screen was a tad small to really do everything you wanted to do, especially if you had big fingers. The iPad's screen will probably do the game justice. Now you can build your city with the peace of mind that you'll be able to build roads precisely when that massive fire breaks out.

A spokeswoman for Bass refuses to comment on the matter, but a source has witnessed the former NSYNC star and Lorenzo Martone acting 'flirty' together several times.
Marc Jacobs' ex-partner Lorenzo Martone has moved on from his split with the celebrity fashion designer - he's reportedly dating former NSYNC singer Lance Bass. The former couple staged an unofficial wedding ceremony in the Caribbean in January, and had plans to make their union legal later this year.
But last week, Martone revealed on Twitter.com he had split from Jacobs "two months ago". According to the New York Daily News, Martone has now moved on by embarking on a romance with Bass; and the pair has been seen acting "flirty" together several times in recent weeks in New York and Miami, Florida. A source tells the newspaper "It's obvious they're dating."
A spokeswoman for Bass has refused to comment on the singer's personal life, while Martone has declined to address "personal matters".

For many, meditation involves lighting a candle, finding a comfortable pillow and sitting down for 20 to 30 minutes of concentrated internal reflection. Some people choose to listen to music, while others hit play on their favorite guided meditation CD. Whatever way you choose to get into your practice, the point is to just practice.
With all the technology available, it's no surprise that meditation tools have hit gadgets like the iPhone. That said, with all the daily apps now available on iTunes, which meditation app is best for you? Well that all depends upon what you are looking for. In this recent post from iPhoneness, 6 stellar meditation apps are introduced and reviewed.
Meditation is one of the best ways to reduce stress on your body and mind and keep yourself motivated and happy for longer. While you do not necessarily need fancy tools to meditate at home, there are applications available in iTunes that can help you reach that calm state of consciousness faster. Having a meditation timer wouldn't be a bad idea either.

The Department of Children and Families (DCF, Department) is committed to ensuring safety, timely permanency, and well-being for children. To do this, the Department's Office of Child Welfare (OCW) works in partnership with a number of stakeholders across other agencies, local communities, and the legal system, to name only a few. While this extensive Child Welfare Community is very important to providing a holistic set of services and supports to children and families, it creates an increased level of complexity and need for a structured approach to measure, monitor, and evaluate the quality and effectiveness of interventions and practices across Florida's child welfare system. Recognizing this need, in 2014 the Florida Legislature passed Florida Statute 409.997 setting the stage for the creation of an integrated plan for the development and implementation of a Results-Oriented Accountability Program (ROA, Program) to serve as the engine to instill a culture of transparency and accountability throughout the Child Welfare Community and to drive system-wide improvements in decision-making about the use of resources, quality and amount of services provided, and policies and practices which influence child and family outcomes.
1 - Outcomes Monitoring,
activities to define, validate, implement, and monitor outcome measures throughout the Child Welfare Community
2 - Data Analysis, approaches and procedures to critically study performance results to determine if variances discovered are in fact issues which should be explored further
3 - Research Review,a series of activities to gather and validate evidence to support the development and implementation of interventions to address areas for improvement
4 - Evaluation, activities to assess promising interventions for children and families to determine if deployment to a larger population is warranted
5 - Continuous Quality Improvement,a series of actions to implement interventions across new domains, or to challenge, change, and test new assumptions about the underlying goals supporting the child welfare practice model
The ROA creates accountability and transparency by incorporating processes and tools for the dissemination of performance results to the Child Welfare Community and general public using the existing DCF website. The goal of Program accountability and transparency is to present accurate and timely performance information, along with an analysis of factors influencing trends, enabling stakeholders to view a true picture of the system and any potential needs for improvement.
Organizationally, the ROA resides within the OCW as a newly created Program Performance and Quality Management area. A Technical Advisory Panel which includes members from the Child Welfare Community advises the Department on the Program's implementation. Program oversight will be provided by the ROA Governance Committee which will consist of representatives from the Department, Community-Based Care Lead Agencies, the Florida Institute for Child Welfare, Children's Legal Services, Sheriff's Offices, Contracted Providers, Office of the State Courts Administrator, and Community Partners.

Maximum Illud is an Apostolic Letter of Pope Benedict XV issued on November 30, 1919 ,in the sixth year of his pontificate. It deals with the Catholic missions after World War I.
Pope Benedict XV recalled the great Apostles of the Gospel who contributed much to the Expansion of Missions . He reviewed the recent history of the missions and stated the purpose of the Apostolic letter.[1] The encyclical first turned to the bishops and superiors in charge of the Catholic missions, noting the need to train local clergy. Catholic missionaries are reminded that their goal is a spiritual one, which must be carried out in a self-less way. [2]
The Pope underlined the necessity of proper preparation for the work in foreign cultures and the need to acquire language skills before going there. He requests a continued striving for personal sanctity and praises the selfless work of female religious in the missions.[3] Mission is not only for missionaries, all Catholics must participate, through their Apostolate of Prayer, by supporting vocations, and by helping financially [4] The encyclical concludes by pointing out several organizations which organize and supervise mission activities within the Catholic Church [5]
The war being over, Pope Benedict repeats the biblical mandate to the ends of the earth and preach the gospel. He recalls the examples of Francis Xavier in India and Bartolomé de las Casas in the Americas and others to show what individuals can do in the service of God. Many missionaries died as martyrs for their faith and many live like saints. [6] He is also impressed with what has been achieved so far
- Anyone who studies the facts of this great saga cannot help being profoundly impressed by them: by all the stupendous hardships our missionaries have undergone in extending the Faith, the magnificent devotion they have shown, and the overwhelming examples of intrepid endurance they have afforded us. And to anyone who weighs these facts the realization must come as a shock that right now, there still remain in the world immense multitudes of people who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death. According to a recent estimate, the number of non-believers in the world approximates one billion souls. [7]
Local Clergy
The most important point to Benedict is the development of local clergy, for any one who has charge of a mission, his special concern must be, to secure and train local candidates for the sacred ministry:
- In this policy lies the greatest hope of the new churches. For the local priest, one with his people by birth, by nature, by his sympathies and his aspirations, is remarkably effective in appealing to their mentality and thus attracting them to the Faith. Far better than anyone else he knows the kind of argument they will listen to, and as a result, he often has easy access to places where a foreign priest would not be tolerated.[8]

Our favorite B&B destination in CT with very affordable rates and close to so much, especially the Stafford Speedway. At least six visits so far and many more to come. A delicious and true breakfast. No "continental" here! The proprietors are always helpful and full of life. An added bonus is the best coffee and drinking water anywhere. The rooms are clean and the king bed is superb in the Connecticut room. A hidden gem.

We found this place because all the local hotels were booked - graduation weekend! And we're so glad we did! Cute rooms & fantastic hospitality. Just off the main road so it was quiet but not too remote. Full breakfast made to order, whatever we liked - western omelette, toast w/jam, fresh berries, muffins, juice and great coffee. Very reasonable, less pricey than your basic hotel rate. Will stay here again if the opportunity presents (we actually live only an hour and a half away).

The hosts of the inn make you feel right at home. The place & grounds are truly magnificent. I am definitely staying here again.

My daughter & I came home for one of her bridal showers & found The Old Mill Inn by chance, & what a blessing it was! Dennis & Fran are two of the most wonderful, caring, loving, interesting, & friendly innkeepers I have ever come across. The evenings that Fran works, Dennis made sure that we were not w/out anything & we loved talking w/him as he is quite the eclectic man who has a zeal for life; a passion for flying either real planes, BIG (4 ft+) model planes, or guiding them on his computer; & has so many interesting stories to share. And he makes a mean breakfast! Fran is one of the sweetest, hardworking, lovable, & awesome cooks that I have ever met! She made sure she always had her wonderful homemade hazelnut biscotti waiting for us at breakfast. And her breakfasts? Mama mia! Her french toast made with her homemade cinnamon raisin bread was out of this world. Every breakfast was accompanied by custom blended coffee, choice of juice, fresh fruit cup, & some type of delicious entree inc. the french toast, omelettes, scrambled eggs or Belgian waffles in a warm strawberry sauce. Dennis would always come & talk with us after we finished our breakfasts & we always ended up having a very enjoyable long conversation w/ him. We stayed in the Connecticut Room which is a very homey room w/ a king size bed w/ a firm mattress, beautiful bed coverings & plenty of lighting at night to read my Kindle! Looking for a great place where you can meander around & look at all the wonderful antiques, enjoy a scrumptious breakfast each morning, carry on interesting conversations with awesome people, & still have a comfortable night's sleep? Then you have found the perfect place to stay at The Old Mill Inn!

text: Culture 3 January 2008 Best of pot luck Beat the New Year blues with this infinitely variable fish stew Sign up for our weekly email * This column has quoted Elizabeth David's sensible advice on the subject of cassoulet (which may, she says, be infinitely varied as long as it is not treated as a dustbin). Here she is on another French classic, bouillabaisse: "It is useless attempting to make a bouillabaisse away from the shores of the Mediterranean." Forbidding at first sight, the remark is in fact wonderfully liberating. You can make a fish stew, and you do not have to live up to the standards that you imagine a bouillabaisse should reach. As David says, there are numerous versions of the dish, all claiming to be authentic: why should your variation be inferior? Even if you are preparing it in, say, Uttoxeter. Look on a bouillabaisse recipe, then, as a useful template for a very nice meal. The base ingredients, in addition to the fish, include onions, leeks, tomatoes, orange peel or zest, and saffron; aniseed notes from fennel and - if you like - pastis are good, too. If you are not using pastis, you might consider white wine; that may be "culinary heresy", in the words of an authority quoted by David, but you have already decided to ignore such taunts. It is worth borrowing, too, a technique from the recipe: that of fast boiling, which blends the oil with the stock and thickens the sauce. The large quantity of liquid in the pot acquires a surprising amount of body. My fishmonger - I realise that I am lucky to be able to use those words - sold me some offcuts to make a stock. He charged me £1. He gave me a few heads, some bones, and a few fillets that were too scraggy to sell otherwise. I covered them with cold water, brought them to a simmer, skimmed off the froth, and added vegetables including the green parts of some leeks, some onions, celery sticks, parsley stalks, garlic cloves, and the stalks and fronds from a fennel bulb. I simmered the stock for 35 minutes. Recipes warn that overcooked fish stock is bitter. I sieved this stock, and reduced it to about 1.5 litres. The following day, I discovered how gelatinous the liquid was: the leftover stew set into a wobbly mass in my fridge. The base of the stew consisted of onions, spring onions, celery, leeks and fennel, chopped and cooked in olive oil and then simmered in passata. Once that mixture was thickened, I turned up the heat and poured in the hot stock, grinding over some salt. I allowed these ingredients to bubble together for a few minutes. I had 1.5kg of various fish fillets. No rascasse or shellfish, I am afraid. I cut them into slices about three times the size of a forkful, and submerged them in my stew. They cooked in about five minutes. I turned off the heat, and only then stirred in a teaspoon of saffron fronds and some chopped parsley. The stew served eight, among us a Frenchwoman. She was very polite about it.

Megan Fox Tells Moviegoers To 'F*ck Off'
Back in her Transformers heyday, Megan Fox had a small problem with opening her mouth and letting words come out of it. Words like "Hitler" and, well, basically any thought in her head. But, now that she's humbled herself and crawled back to Michael Bay, she's been a tame, cooperative actress who isn't already openly complaining about her scenes being cut or telling people to "fuck off" before they've even bought tickets to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. CinemaBlend reports:
"Let me tell you something about those people. How much money did Transformers 4 make? Exactly. Those people can complain – they all go to the theater. They're gonna love it – and if they don't love it, they can fuck off, and that's the end of that."
In Megan Fox's defense, she does have a point, and I apologize if I just made the sun explode by agreeing with a woman. Transformers continues to make money hand over fist and each movie is a bigger, more convoluted mess than the one before it. By Transformers 8, it'll just be Michael Bay filming silverware in a dryer while Mark Wahlberg yells some shit in the background about not jerking off or they won't have the strength to stop robot 9/11. It'll make $80 billion.

text: This afternoon the company released results for fourth quarter and full year period ended June 30, 2010. I will start our discussion by providing overall sales and operating results for the fourth quarter. Later in the call, Mike will comment specifically on the quarterly results and outlook for each of our business units.For the quarter ended June 30, 2010 the company generated worldwide net sales of $582.3 million, which represents a 32% increase in sales over the comparative prior year quarter, and a 17% increase over the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Included in the quarter's sales results are revenues from ScanSource Communications Germany, formerly known as Algol Europe, which was acquired November 30, 2009. Our net sales for the quarter hit a new record for the company and as well exceeded our expectations as we experienced good demand in all geographies. In fact, even without the revenue of ScanSource Communications Germany, the company still would have achieved record quarterly revenues. On a geographic basis, sales originating from our North American distribution segment increased 28% in comparison with the prior year quarter. Our international segment grew 49% and when measured in local currency grew 62%. Within our product lines, we experienced a 30% increase in worldwide sales in our POS bar coding and security product categories over the prior year quarter. These product categories represent 60% of our total sales for the current quarter with the remaining 40% of our total sales originating from communications products. Our communications businesses experienced an increase of 35% in comparison to the prior year quarter. The company's consolidated gross margin percentage was 9.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, which was lower than the prior year quarter gross margin of 12.1%. We noted last year that a more normalized margin would have been 10.8%. Sequentially, gross margin decreased from the previously reported 11% primarily due to more big deals in the higher mix of lower margin products lines.

text: All the NFC (Near Field Communications) talk so far has been about paying for goods in shops with the necessary terminal. But Paypal has a more interesting take on the technology, demonstrating a way of transferring cash between friends via your mobile phones.It's initially an Android system that requires an app and a tap. The company can use that as an ad slogan if it likes, we'll discuss royalties later. Anyway, once you've got the app, enter the amount of money you want to transfer, enter a pin, then tap the phone of the person you want to give the money to. When it vibrates (your phone we mean), that money will drop into the other person's account. How easy is all of that? Check this video to see it work its magic in seconds.The demonstration was via two Nexus S handsets, so we can assume it's good to go with all NFC-enabled phones that run on Android 2.3. Paypal claims it has 'been looking at NFC technology for a while and we saw a tremendous opportunity to combine the best of NFC and the best of PayPal.' To be fair, it's certainly eye-catching, but whether it's of everyday use perhaps depends on how reliant you are on Paypal to do financial business. All too often, it's not done in person, it's done online.You can't get the app now, even if you have the right hardware. Late summer is the rumoured launch date.
