The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Next week begins the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and there will be news of innovations from companies large and small. Telecommunications giant AT&T will be among them and in ways consumers may not think. AT&T Mobility's CMO David Christopher speaks about what to expect from his division in Las Vegas next week.
"We're excited about a couple of big trends" says Christopher. "The connected car being one and the connected home another. You'll hear more about wearables at the show from us. And the idea that we can innovate around our network, around smartphones and around important things like our pricing plans. People don't think of pricing plans as being innovative but we have a construct called Mobile Share, which allows you to add other devices to your core plan really simply. For example, today you can add a tablet to your plan for just $10."
Smartphones are having an increasing effect on marketing, changing how customers engage with information. And that in turn is changing how marketers connect with their customers or potential buyers. So how is the connected car going to affect marketers and how they engage with customers?
According to Christopher, "The opportunity with the connected car and the smartphone is wrapped around an exciting area called Big Data. Taking into account privacy constraints, and being incredibly thoughtful and serious about protecting customers' data, if a customer opts in the benefits big data are really exciting. Consider how the amount of information in a car, coupled with a smartphone, can affect shopping behaviors. Integrating the two as you're traveling makes the purchase experience even richer."
"We have a lot of focus on this area because we think that we can shed a lot of light on it to other marketers as they try to be more effective, more specific and more granular as they engage one-to-one with their customers."
To take advantage of these new possibilities, new applications will need to be developed so AT&T plans to court developers at CES, including sponsoring a hackathon. "It's our biggest hackathon of the year for sure," confirmed Christopher."But we also have lots of different tutorial sessions and one-on-one sessions with developers. We have labs where people can go deep with the technology and work with us on how to use our APIs. We hope to deepen our relationship with developers and help them with their business models, both from the technical and the business side. We always make great new connections there with exciting entrepreneurs and that really is the foundation. We know we can't do it all and we know that by partnering smartly we can create real differentiations. So that's the philosophy and that's what we hope to continue to further at CES."

RIVERSIDE: Woman thanks God for 'miracle' that restored health
Cathy Sperry canât explain it. Doctors have no answer.
She was a young woman living in the Bay area with her new husband and their first child. She had been an accountant and a cheerleader for the San Francisco 49ers football team before she got married.
âI woke up one morning and my body felt different,â she said. âThen, I started getting worse. Nobody could tell me what was wrong.â
Diagnosed with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis in her late 20s, Sperry became paralyzed from the neck down over a period of three years. She could only move her right index finger.
âI sat in the house for years and didnât move,â said Sperry, now 63. âI couldnât do anything. It made me feel horrible.â
About six years ago, movement came back in her right hand. Two years ago, she was able to move her feet. She stopped using a wheelchair a year ago.
âItâs like a miracle,â Sperry said. âIâm a real Christian woman and I never gave up the faith that someday I was going to wake up and it was going to go back the other way.â
Sperry, who was born in Whittier and moved to Riverside in the late 1980s, said she is amazed at what she can do.
She goes on four-mile hikes with her son. She swims laps and does water aerobics three days a week. She spends two days a week in the gym on a treadmill, stationary bike and working with weights. Riverside exercise therapist Greg English helps with her walking and gait.
For the past 23 years, Sperry has volunteered at Castle View Elementary School in Riverside. The first time she arrived on campus, she rode in a motorized wheelchair and asked the principal if she could talk to the kids about her service dog, Meridee.
She later developed a drama program and puts on six plays a year at the school.
Linda Hicks, whose two kids attended Castle View, remembers her older son having to prop up Sperry when she fell over in her chair. Hicks pestered her for years to take water aerobics classes that she teaches at Shamel Park in Riverside.
Sperry finally agreed two years ago.
At first, she had to be lowered in the pool on a lift and stayed on the sides. She slowly gained confidence and now can swim 10 to 15 laps a day, Hicks said.
âI nagged her to death to come give it a try,â Hicks said. âI told her if she would just get in the pool, I thought she would feel better.â

The more time I spend behind the wheel the more I love how easy the Nissan Frontier is to daily drive. Although this month has been less eventful with just a few trips to the Home Depot, I got to watch the odometer roll over 5000 miles in its two months in our fleet. With steady driving, I've been averaging 18.8-19.2 mpg.
Since the pickup's introduction into the Truck Trend fleet, some staffers have expressed their interest in taking it on camping and off-roading trips. We found a camping tent that fits into the bed of the truck on the official Nissan's consumer website for $232 plus shipping. Needless to say, we have one on the way and will be putting the off-road package to the test soon.
The Nissan Frontier is a solid pickup, and I don't have any real complaints about it. But one pet peeve that seems to irk just about every passenger happens to be the door locks. Most newer vehicles let you unlock the door from the inside by pulling on the door handle twice — once to unlock, once to open. The Frontier will only let this happen if the key is in the off position. So if you need to drop a passenger somewhere, you have to physically push the unlock button; then the passenger can open the door to get out.

Ticket mix-up proves costly
Hongkong (Jan 26): A Scottish businessman is suing the Hongkong Government for $9,000 - because he claims he flew from Edinburgh to Hongkong to answer a summons for a parking ticket.
Experts are studying the claims for damages from non-motorist, Mr Derek Allan Shaw.
Mr Shaw is a businessman who was in Hongkong for several months up to early last year. He left the Colony in February but a ticket against him for illegal parking in the Civil Aviation Department's area at Kai Tak was issued in April.
At San Po Kong Court on November 8, last year, Mr Shaw pleaded not guilty. Upon investigation, it was found the offending vehicle was a goods lorry and Mr Shaw had been improperly summoned.
Trade break

All about making whisky
Sourcing actor, importer and exclusive distributor of a portfolio of international brands, La Maison du Whisky is, since 60 years a reference for whisky and spirit lovers. Thanks to our close relationships with producers and independent bottlers, we have access to limited editions and unique products we bring to market exclusively. Curious and creative, we are driven by our passion for products and our desire to constantly bring our clients the latest expressions through our own shops, our website whisky.fr and selected wine retail shops in France.
Ardmore is an ambiguous distillery. On the border between Speyside and the eastern Highlands, Ardmore was established in 1897, just one year before the Pattison brothers went bankrupt. Its whisky has a character which could be mistaken for an island whisky rather than a mainland. Interestingly, between 1817 and 1835, another distillery of the same name operated on the Isle of Islay before merging with Lagavulin. This colourful heritage extends deep into its DNA. Discovered thanks to its independent bottlings, Ardmore has, for several years, released its own 12 year old "house".
Although the independent bottler Signatory Vintage cannot claim to be one of the oldest in Scotland, it has managed to build up an extremely solid reputation amongst the great malt connoisseurs. The creator of the famous range The Prestonfield and many other well-known ranges, it is best known for its un-chillfiltered and cask strength bottlings that offer amateurs the chance to enjoy their whisky in its most natural form. It was also one of the first independent bottlers to acquire a distillery and now offers a growing number of expressions of one of the most artisan single malts available.
The Cask Strength Collection of single malt and single grain whiskies is without doubt one of the most appreciated ranges. Each release is bottled undiluted, unchillfiltered and usually consists of a single cask. To help the consumer appreciate their whisky at more than a purely aromatic and gustatory level, Signatory Vintage takes care to display on each label, with great precision, the region of production, the date of distillation and bottling, the type of cask used, its number and the number of bottles of the same nectar that were produced. This range thus offers some fascinating facts, in addition to exceptional quality!

Imaging technology has come a long way since analog mammography was first introduced over 40 years ago, and today's digital innovations have made vast improvements to this life-saving equipment. This is why Florida Hospital and Florida Radiology Imaging (FRi) are providing women of Central Florida access to digital mammography - the most powerful tool in the prevention and early detection of breast cancer. In addition, they count on a team of radiologists, specially-trained in breast imaging to ensure the most accurate diagnosis.
1. A mammogram takes too long; I don't have the time. Florida Hospital and FRi offer weekend and after-hour appointments at some locations and they can schedule your appointment same or next day for your convenience. Exams usually take less time with digital mammography, and you are typically in and out for a screening mammogram in less than 30 minutes.In addition, there are 10 convenient locations throughout Central Florida offering upfront or valet parking to make the process even faster.
2. Mammograms cost too much. Many insurance companies will cover the cost of a screening mammogram if you meet guidelines. Also, low-cost or free mammograms are offered through national programs, community organizations and the Florida Hospital Breast Cancer Care Fund.
3. Mammograms are painful. Mammograms may be uncomfortable but should not be painful. With the transition to digital mammography, the level of discomfort you experience should be less due to the new design of the compression paddles. The paddles flex with your body applying pressure only where needed. In addition, digital exams are quicker, the compression time is less.
Reasons compression is important:
Tips for a more comfortable mammogram:
4. Fear of finding something. Eight out of 10 breast lumps are not cancerous. See a physician immediately if you discover a lump or change on your breasts. Computer-aided detection (CAD) helps our sub-specialized radiologists to be certain of their findings, make recommendations for further studies and talk with referring physicians. If cancer is detected, our Breast Care Coordinators provide you with a continual source of support throughout your entire cancer journey.
5. The radiation from a mammogram can cause cancer. Digital mammography, offered at all 10 Florida Hospital and FRi locations, uses the lowest radiation dose required to produce clear and precise exam images. For this reason mammograms are very safe. The use of adequate compression and digital technology assist in achieving this.
6. Mammograms are for older women. The American Cancer Society recommends that all women ages 35 to 39 have one baseline screening mammogram. All women age 40 and up should get a yearly screening mammogram for as long as a woman is in good health. However, if you have a family history of cancer, any new breast problem or other high-risk factors, it may be recommended to start screening at an earlier age. If you haven't had yours, it's time to schedule your appointment today or call us at 407-303-7500.

In the 1930s, Idlewild was the hottest speakeasy in the South thanks to the impressive showmanship of flamboyant manager/lead performer Rooster (Patton) and the notable talents of introverted pianist Percival (Benjamin). Everything changes, however, when a powerful gangster and his ruthless henchmen move in on the scene with every intention of landing a healthy portion of the club's considerable profits.

Serve up a well-rounded breakfast—potatoes, cheesy eggs and sausage—all in one pan. Since this egg bake needs at least 8 hours of refrigeration, make your morning a breeze by assembling it the night before. MORE + LESS -
Pair this do-ahead egg bake with a do-ahead side—a simple fruit salad, tossed in citrus juice for freshness.

Ron HubbardFrederic brownHannes bokJack WilliamsonWritingPublishingOvermindRepublishedRestaurantsMacaroni and Cheese23EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkThe best place in the United States to sit and feel the ghostly presence of early 20th century science fiction is probably Clifton's Cafeteria in Los Angeles, which was the epicentre of 1930s pulp scifi.AdvertisementIf there is a single city that must be associated with the Golden Age of Science Fiction it has to be L.A. While Chicago and New York were centers for pulp publishing and illustration in the early 20th century, a disproportionate number of the actual writers lived, wrote, and socialized in L.A. One of the suburbs North of L.A. is even named Tarzana in honor of past resident Edgar Rice Burroughs.Most destinations for literary tourists are either authors' houses or localities featured in books. Because of the solitary nature of authors' labors there are few places I can think of that really represent actual literary scenes – especially for sci-fi and fantasy. 15 or 20 years ago I would have cited Forrest Ackerman's house in the Hollywood Hills as one of these nexus points, as it was a pilgrimage destination for all stripes of sci-fi fans and professionals and housed one of the greatest historical collections in the history of the genre. I actually had the amazing experience of visiting the "Ackermansion" when I was a teenager, and it was there I saw my first original pulp art, Harryhausen animation models, etc.AdvertisementSince Ackerman passed away and the Ackermansion is now only a memory, I would currently promote Clifton's Cafeteria in downtown Los Angeles as one of the best places to feel the ghostly presence of early American science fiction. Although I love Clifton's super creamy heart-stopping mac and cheese, I don't go for the food - this place is all about history and atmosphere (and observation of eccentric old vine Angelinos, if you care).Clifton's is important in sci-fi history because it was the original meeting place for the Los Angeles Science Fiction League (LASFL), which was founded in 1934. The Brown Room in the back of Clifton's was virtually an imperial court of the masters, where gathered on Thursday nights many of the formative minds of science fiction and fantasy. A partial list includes: Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, L. Ron Hubbard, Ray Harryhausen, Leigh Brackett, Forrest Ackerman, Henry Kuttner, Fredric Brown, Hannes Bok, and Jack Williamson, among many others. Many of these folks lived in L.A. full time while others lived there for a short time or were just passing through. The conversations in this court of imagination must have been wonderful – perhaps more so than the chicken fried steak.The modern facade ain't as cool as the original.SponsoredI stop to eat at Clifton's whenever I can. Even outside of its significance to sci-fi history, it is a bizarre and outrageous place to be. Opened in the mid-30s, most of the restaurant is decorated like a surreal artificial redwood forest, with log cabins, taxidermy animals, and two story-tall fake trees: Margie and Banjo Chris dining. In the back on the top right you can see the little door to the Redwood Chapel.AdvertisementOne of my favorite features of Clifton's is a mystical redwood tree bearing a blue neon cross. After eating your mashed potatoes you can sit inside this tree on a little bench, look at a model of a miniature redwood forest behind a piece of glass (mind blowing – a forest within a tree within a forest, I love it!), and listen to a pre-recorded monologue about transcendental redwood spirituality:Margie contemplates the nature of trees and the universe inside Clifton's Redwood Chapel.The Brown Room on the second level of Clifton's, where the LASFL used to meet, is dark and wood paneled and evocative of a log cabin. Unlike most cabins, however, there are large backlit glass panels showing nature scenes from around California. Most of these images are quite faded out after many decades of service, which makes everything even more surreal. There are also cozy little cabin/rooms on this level that I didn't get pictures of because it was near closing time when I last brought my camera.AdvertisementThe third level of Clifton's is decorated in red velvet Victorian theme. Weird. I always peek at this level, but I've never seen anyone up there:Level 3 of Clifton's Cafeteria.On top of everything, the clientele of Clifton's always offers a spectacular ethnographic profile of old school Los Angeles. Mexican cowboys, preachers with electric hats, pimps with chains, guys with bandaged heads, hipsters and losers and loners and families. I could sit there all day, watching people, eating custard pie with the ghost of Leigh Brackett.The entry tunnel!AdvertisementAdvertisementThis post by Bob Reed originally appeared at Cyclopeatron.

When true to God's heart, Truth to others God will impart,
We pass on what we know, when in God's Truth we grow,
Passing on the ways of Christ, to others who see our life,
In tribulations that we face, as we are sustained by Grace.
Through trials we've endured, men are moved to the Lord,
In the light of tribulation, many see their need of salvation,
For those who know not God, will see the Lord's Iron Rod,
But all who embrace Truth, will not see His eternal reproof.
Through the witness of our life, God draws many to Christ,
As God's way is much higher, for in His Love is His desire,
For all to repent and believe, so, Jesus Christ they receive,
So in The Lord Jesus Christ, they too shall see Eternal Life.
In light of God's Righteousness, all, deserve eternal death,
It's only in The Lord Jesus, that we gain His Righteousness,
That makes us ever worthy of, God's love and Hope above,
Hope, that helps us in the night, live in God's Blessed Light.
In this world, we are blessed, knowing we will soon see rest,
Through Hope we must share, with all who seem not to care,
For God so loved all the world, Truth that we need to herald,
So all in darkness may believe, so, Eternal Life they receive.

Freshman guard Josiah Turner might have earned his way back into the Arizona Wildcats' starting lineup.
UA coach Sean Miller said Monday that there's "no question" Turner could start for the Wildcats on Wednesday at Florida, provided he practices well early this week before the game. Practice issues, after all, have been one of the reasons Turner has spent the first few weeks of his Wildcat career in Miller's doghouse.
Turner started UA's season opener against Valparaiso on Nov. 7, but came off the bench Nov. 9 against Duquesne after being late to a pregame shoot-around and did not play at all on Nov. 13 against Ball State.
Turner has played well in recent games, with 12 points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals in UA's 83-76 win at New Mexico State, and five points and five rebounds on Saturday against NAU.
Still, Miller says he's been judging Turner on his everyday efforts.
"Josiah's getting better and he's growing as a player and growing as a person," Miller said. "He knows what college basketball and life as a student athlete is all about, much more so than he would have this summer. I hope he continues to grow.
"It's every day. That's the expectations at Arizona. Not every other day, or once every three or four days, you do a great job in practice. It's who you are every day that allows everybody to trust you, your teammates, your coaches. That's not for one player in our program - that's for everybody."
After forward Solomon Hill was named the Pac-12's Player of the Week on Monday, Miller called him "our team's best player."
No more were Hill's contributions needed than last Tuesday at New Mexico State, when Hill had 12 points, six rebounds and a career-high seven assists against the Aggies. He also scored 15 points against NAU.
"The fact that he got Pac-12 Player of the Week is an honor that he deserved because his performance at New Mexico State was a really, really pivotal performance. That was a great victory and he had a lot to do with it."
During his news conference Monday, Miller declined to answer questions about departed freshman forward Sidiki Johnson, including whether the freshman forward is still in school.
Johnson was suspended for two weeks for unspecified violations of team policy, and UA announced Sunday he has left the program with an intention to transfer.
UA policy automatically releases athletes from their scholarships only if they leave while eligible, although the school can consider other cases individually. UA deputy AD Rocky LaRose said the school is willing to support a release and transfer.

text: Just got through watching The Bourne Ultimatum. F'ing awesome!!! Quite possibly the best one so far, superseding the first. I know, its a close call, but man, the third was simply amazing. I'm well aware that I said it this not to long ago, but damn is this a good franchise!!! And Chux, and whomever else is not watching it, is definitely missing out. The movie definitely deserves nods in the Best Editing, Best Sound, and Best Sound Editing, but I could give it nods in other categories as well. Anyways, I'm very much looking forward to more movies as long as they keep up the superior quality and keep Doug Liman and Paul Greengrass involved with the production/direction. Outstanding movie, superb trilogy!!!

Role of Influencers Varies Among Consumers
By Anonymous
IN A STUDY conducted by public relations agency Ketchum, researchers uncovered a variety of factors that pinpoint the way consumers make decisions about healthcare. The PR study, titled Health Attitudes and Well Connections: A Ketchum Consumer Study, found that consumers can be separated into five groups based on demographic and psychographic data. Each of the five groups demonstrated differing motivational factors regarding the pursuit of healthcare, from the role of physicians and pharmacists to word-of- mouth and independent online research. The five consumer designations include health sharers, health isolates, health traditionalists, health elites and health neutrals.
Hicks: Ketchum will probe consumers on their influencersHealth neutrals represent 34% of the population, and tend to be younger and less concerned with health and wellness.
"[Health neutrals] just don't have a driving interest in healthcare. They're not hostile to it, but they're healthier and career-oriented," said Nancy Hicks, SVP, associate director, North America healthcare practice at Ketchum. One way to target health neutrals is through lifestage marketing, said Hicks. "[Advertisers] reach these consumers at different points in their lives-when they're changing jobs, getting married or graduating college-and looking for insurance."
Hicks said Ketchum, which just launched Well-Connected, a new health and wellness specialty, will "probe consumers every year on motivation and influencers, and make that research available to clients."

The Clinton administration has decided to phase out MTBE as a gasoline
additive on grounds it poses a risk to public health or the environment
MTBE, a leading oxygenate and octane booster, reduces emissions of smog, but it
has been linked to groundwater pollution in California and elsewhere.
Carol Browner, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, was
announced that her agency will seek to "significantly reduce or
eliminate" use of MTBEs under the Toxic Substance Control Act. That law
allows EPA to ban chemicals "deemed to pose an unreasonable risk to the
public or the environment," said a government official who spoke on
condition of anonymity.
The agency also will ask Congress for changes in the Clean Air Act that will
encourage use of ethanol, an additive from corn, in place of MTBE, according to
a congressional source. The 1990 law requires the use of oxygenates in gasoline.
The EPA previously has said it has no authority to regulate MTBE, and
Congress should act to limit its use considering evidence the additive is
contaminating groundwater. MTBE is used in all or part of 16 states and accounts
for a third of the gasoline sold, including much of that sold in the Northeast.
Refiners turned to the additive after the Clean Air Act required gasoline in
areas with serious air pollution to contain at least 2 percent oxygen by weight.
Last summer, an EPA advisory panel said that while current levels of MTBE in
water pose no health risk, its use should be dramatically curtailed because of
potential widespread water pollution problems. MTBE has been found to be a
carcinogen and poses health and environmental risks, other critics of the
additive have said.

Ion handycam is back to front (and back again)
Two lenses = double the fun?
Posted in Personal Tech, 11th January 2010 06:42 GMT
CES 2010 Gadget manufacturer Ion has unleashed "the world's first video recorder with front and back lenses".
Ion's Twin Video has dual lenses, ideal for video blogging
Called Twin Video, this somewhat odd take on the handheld camcorder captures your facial expressions as you record events around you.
Pointless? Not so, says Ion. The idea is that Twin Video records you laughing and saying "dude" as you film your friend inside a supermarket trolley crash into a bush.
The camcorder could be also be useful for video blogging.
Twin Video's dual lenses can be independently controlled and, in addition to standard picture-in-picture capture, users can split the screen to view both live video feeds.
Movies are recorded onto SD memory cards and a detachable stand is included for propping the video camera on table tops. Twin Video connects into PCs and Mac over USB.
Ion releases Twin Video during the second quarter of this year, and hasn't announced a price. ®

November 8 – Happy Birthday Bucky Harris
When Del Webb and Dan Topping purchased the Yankees in 1945, they needed a baseball man to run things and they selected former Dodger and Cardinal team president, Larry MacPhail to fulfill that role. The two multi-millionaires loaned MacPhail the $900,000 he needed to purchase ten percent of the team. That presented a problem for legendary Yankee Manager, Joe McCarthy, who did not like MacPhail. It became the key reason why Marse Joe quit as the Yankee skipper 35 games into the 1946 season. He was replaced by Yankee catching legend Bill Dickey, who had been one of McCarthy's coaches.
The Yankees finished in third place in 1946 and Dickey did not even finish the season as manager, resigning that September, as soon as the Red Sox had eliminated New York from the pennant race. Two days after Dickey quit as skipper, MacPhail hired Bucky Harris to an unnamed front office position, to serve as MacPhail's personal liason with the Yankee clubhouse. Harris then got the Manager's job after the 1946 season ended.
Bucky had become famous in 1926, when at just 27 years of age, he became the player manager of the Senators and led the team to a World Series Championship that season. That title earned him the nickname "The Boy Wonder." He then continued to manage for the next two decades but had not won another World Series.
The Yankee team he inherited in 1947 was getting old and ornery. His outfield was a mess. Joe DiMaggio had sore heels, Charley Keller a bad back and Tommy Henrich had turned 37 and hit just .251 in 1946. His infield wasn't any better. First baseman Nick Etten had become an automatic out once big league pitchers returned from serving in WWII plus he was a horrible defensive first baseman. Third baseman Snuffy Stirnweiss was also a much less effective hitter against post war pitching and both second baseman Joe Gordon and shortstop Phil Rizzuto had a difficult time getting their swings back after their military service. As for pitching, Red Ruffing had retired and Spud Chandler was getting old fast.
Working with MacPhail, Harris made a series of moves that turned out to be genius-like. He replaced Etten at first with 38-year old George McQuinn, an NL veteran with a decent glove and good bat. MacPhail traded Joe Gordon to the Indians for pitcher Allie Reynolds and Harris switched Stirnweiss from third to Gordon's old spot at second and inserted rookie Billy Johnson at the hot corner. He benched Keller and made Johnny Lindell his starting left fielder. His best move was converting Yankee starter Joe Page to his closer. Each of these maneuvers panned out perfectly and with DiMaggio, Henrich and Rizzuto all enjoying bounce back seasons, the Yankees rolled to the 1947 AL Pennant, finishing a dozen games ahead of the second place Tigers. A few weeks later, Harris had his second World Championship as a Manager when the Yankees beat the Dodgers in seven games.
Despite winning 94 games the following season, the Yankees finished a disappointing third in the AL Pennant race. MacPhail had also been bought out by Topping and Webb, who had installed George Weiss as the new Yankee GM. Weiss used the Yankees third place finish in '47 as an excuse to replace Harris with his own man, Casey Stengel.
If a Manager was hired in today's times, who then won 191 regular season games during his first two years managing a team plus a World Series, he'd get a multi-year contract worth eight figures. Instead, Bucky Harris got fired. In all, Harris managed 30 years in the Majors. He was named to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans' Committee in 1975.
Harris shares his birthday with this short-time Yankee outfielder.

The Curriculum and Technology Center provides this information as a convenience and is not responsible for the contents contained in a linked site.
However, if there is a problem with the content, please report it to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Special Education
For Teachers
Worksheet Generator
This website mainly is a worksheet generator. In special education, a teacher is encouraged to find other means of student practice and work than a worksheet. However, these would be beneficial to students who need extra practice in specific areas (i.e. shaping the letter E). These worksheets could serve as remedial learning materials. This site offers worksheets in math, reading, and other areas. A teacher can customize the focus and the difficulty level of the content of the worksheets.
In the special education classroom, student frustration sometimes leads to behavioral problems such as refusal to do work, interruption of class, being out of seat, acting out toward teacher or students, etc. Furthermore, ED (Emotional Disturbance) is a category of disability under IDEIA. Behavioral and social misconduct are typical characteristics of a student with ED. These are two of the reasons why behavior management (as well as classroom management) is essential in the special education classroom. This website gives tips to strengthen a teacher's classroom management as well as links to lesson plans and planning strategies that assist in doing so. Behavior management strategies are listed as well as an impressive collection of links to the following: related articles, effective practices, rewards and reinforcement, module development, teacher support and communication, a behavior analysis template, and much more! In addition, this site provides resources with telephone numbers to receive help in behavior management.
LD Online
This is the self-proclaimed "world's leading website on learning disabilities and ADHD" and I am sold. There are sections on this site for teachers, parents, and kids, which are a great idea since these, are the parties involved in the education of the child daily. The website is offered in Spanish to assist Spanish-speaking parents and English language Learners (ELL). News articles related to LD, ADHD, and the education of students with both of these disabilities are available on the site. One thing that interested me was that resources and advice were offered not in just one area but in all content areas.
Teachers Helping Teachers
A teacher's site designed by teachers for teachers, I found this site quite interesting. For teachers by teachers consist of lesson plans from all different disciplines even special education. Teachers from grades k-12 may access this site for support. All teachers may contribute to the site, in fact the site asks for contributions of lesson planes. The best part about this site is everything is free. Book reviews, topics of the week, stress reductions exercises, and ideals on the best way to present new materials to students are examples of the valuable information that can be found on this site.

Just Choices
Just Choices is designed to stimulate analytical thinking and reasoning. This site is obviously for middle and high school students because of the somewhat sensitive nature of some of the activities.
Middle School English
A must have site for Middle school language arts teachers. Created by teachers from a local Tennessee school system this site is highly qualified. Here is a multitude of information readily accessible and ready for use.
School House Rock-Grammar
This website is an all-time favorite for all. It will never get old. Students can click on the subject they are learning about (i.e. conjunctions), hear, and see the video about conjunctions (Students will need to click on the YouTube link). This will help reinforce what is taught in the classroom. This website can be used for intermediate elementary and middle school students. This will help students that are visual and auditory learners. For Teachers, the website gives the words that you print.
National Laboratory of Virtual Manipulative

The following webquest seems like a fun activity that uses authentic resources. Students learn to budget while on a trip in another country. This webquest lesson is designed for 6th graders, but I think that it can be adapted for diverse learners.
Math Webquest
1st Grade Math
This webquest is great for both students and teachers. The webquest gives a lesson on teaching addition and subtraction using posters. This webquest is good for special education students because the poster is done in pairs. The students are matched in varying ability so lower functioning students can learn from higher functioning. The directions are great for the teacher and student and the format is easy to read.
World of Independence

Health & PE
This is a great site for Health / Wellness / Physical Education lessons. I use this site quite frequently in my classroom. It has great activities and lesson plans that are readily assessable to everyone. Best of all this is a free site.
Dr. Carlson's Science Theatre
Hey gang here is a science podcast that I have found to be great with my ED students. This is a site of short science video experiments that can be performed in the classroom. This person does a great job of explaining what he is doing and how it relates to science. He is somewhat corny which I think makes it interesting. If you use iTunes, you can do a podcast search for Dr. Carlson's Science Theatre and subscribe from there. It is free and I think a very useful tool.
Teacher Vision
This website is great for both special Ed and general Ed teachers. It provides lesson plans, classroom management, professional development and many more links that are helpful in the classroom. The webpage is easy to navigate and has a wonderful science section. Once you click on science you can pick the grade and topic you need. The page gives you information on the topic you are going to teach along with a lesson plan. This website is great for any subject and is not limited to science.
Curious George- Cows Don't Quack
This website is a fun interactive way to teach young students the differences between different animal sounds. As the child progresses through the levels, they become more difficult. In addition, they introduce several animal sounds. A little difficult to figure out at first but once the students get the hang of it, it is very easy to navigate and great practice for special needs students who have difficulty with processing sounds.

Do 2 Learn
This website has different activity resources downloadable for teachers and students.
Pics 4 Learning
This website has copyright free images for teachers.
Social Studies
This site consists of webcams that have been strategically placed through several different animals refuges throughout Africa. Your class can go to this site and see real time photos of animals they may never get the chance to see. It also allows you to take a snap shot of certain cam views and place your snapshot on the website for others to see. Your class can respond also to a blog. I find myself spending hours watching and waiting at this site.
This website has short paragraphs about different places in Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Europe, and Latin America. Great if you want the students to go on a webquest to find answers to a worksheet or complete a report.
Leonardo Home Page
Here is a website link to the Leonardo Home Page. This site is a great site to study and learn about Leonardo DaVinci. It discusses all his works and inventions. Best of all it is an interactive site.
Special Education Links
Special Education News
This sight is great for families and educators who are interested in special Education and students with disabilities. Here you can learn about specific disabilities and behavior management plans. For parents with young children an early intervention link has great advice on what to do if your young child has special needs. This webpage is slightly dated and some pages are under construction but otherwise it is very helpful.
U.S. Department of Education
I am not sure if this is of interest to everyone, but I am very interested in getting some of my student loans forgiven. I think in some instances special education teachers can have up to 17,500 forgiven. The above web page is a searchable directory. You can go state by state to find low income schools that will qualify for the Department of Education loan repayment plan.
I really like the work being done in these schools. Students are learning hands-on about their environment, pollution, and waste management. Concepts and topics that seem huge can be very personal when incorporated into the school setting. These students and school staff are making a difference in their community through a change in behavior and practices. I think that this is a good example for schools across the nation. In addition, this is a public school! This is possible for many schools with a little additional effort.
Disability Webquest
The following is an easy to use research tool about disabilities. The webquest has three purposes.
1. To help you learn about specific types of special needs and the educational implications of these needs.
2. To experience project-based learning while completing an authentic task. The project is a presentation and the authentic task is exploring the resources and means of researching a disability.
3 To introduce you to Web Quests, a method of supporting and directing student research and participation in project-based learning.

NZXT Unleashes Feature-Packed H630 Ultra Tower Case
Subject: Cases and Cooling | May 8, 2013 - 01:46 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ultra tower, nzxt, h630, grid hub, case
NZXT has unleashed a monstrous new PC case onto the tech world with the H630 Ultra Tower. The new chassis is constructed of powder coated steel and ABS plastic. It can accommodate XL-ATX motherboards, two 360mm radiators, 8 hard drives, and a bunch of fans within its sound dampened interior. The H630 case weighs approximately 31 pounds and measures 547 x 245 x 567mm (HxWxD).
On the outside, the NZXT features a glossy white or black powder coated finish. You will not find any case windows or bling, but the design is clean and simple. It offers filtered fan intakes and an IO panel located on the right side with two USB 2.0, two USB 3.0, and two audio ports as well as a SDXC card slot. Two 5.25" drive bays adorn the top-front of the case.
The inside of the case is rather spacious with an optical drive bay, three removable hard drive bays, an opening for a bottom mounted PSU, and a large motherboard tray that can hold boards up to XL-ATX in size. Water cooling enthusiasts will be pleased to know that they can mount a 360mm radiator in the top and front of the case, which is a pretty impressive feat without needing to use an externally-mounted rad (like I had to with my case). If you opt for additional air cooling, you can further fit two 140mm fans in the bottom of the case, one 140mm case in the HDD cage, and one 140mm case in the rear of the case. Needless to say, that's a lot of cooling options!
NZXT has also outfitted the H630 with sound dampening material, which should help to soften the noise of all the hardware enthusiasts are likely to pack into the case--though I would wait for reviews to see how well the material works. Additionally, the H630 has 9 expansion slots, cable routing holes, the company's 10-port Grid fan hub, and two 2.5" SSD mounts hidden behind the motherboard tray.
The new H630 Ultra Tower should be available in the US for around $150 by the end of May and in the UK for £129.05 sometime in June. For the price, it seems like an impressive deal. I'm tempted, though I'm not sure if it will fit under my desk. You can find more photos and specifications on this NZXT product page.
Where are the wheels for this case?
What would you call this? Maximinimalism?
Looks like NZXT is going after the workstation market. Just imagine this with dual a duel Ivybridge-E mother board and a Quadro graphics card and a couple of Tesla cards or maybe 4 Titan cards.
