iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro with iTunes. Both are current with software updates as of 12/11/2014 When running sync or backup I get an error message that the iPhone has disconnected. Both are on the same network and are connected together with a USB cable. Last successful backup was prior to iTunes upgrade on 12/9. Today I successfully backed up my iPhone to a windows machine with the latest version of iTunes, no problems. Seems the Mac version is the issue not the iPhone. I was going to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it on the Mac but I could get it to uninstall. iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2

i just bought a new mac, and i have attempted to sync my iphone wireless. the "sync now" under itunes wi-fi sync does not , or will not work. both the mac and the iphone are on a shared home wifi. is there a setting im missing in which my phone has to be "authorized"?

I purchased a couple TV shows on my iPhone, and they synced to my Mac.
I watched them on my Mac, and deleted them off my iPhone to save space, given their size. I also do NOT have the "sync new TV shows" box checked.
Yet, the shows keep re-syncing and loading onto my iPhone every time I sync. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that I purchased them on my iPhone. But how do I make this stop?
I used to sync on an office pc with my Iphone. All music was fine but now I no longer work there and want to sync all music on phone to mac PLUS when I downloaded a purchased cd to my mac it wont go to my Iphone. Any ways to make this all happen?

My laptop got stolen a few weeks ago, i've replaced it with a new MBP, and fortunatley I done a full backup at xmas time, so my computer is just like it was on the 23rd of December 2011. However, my iphone has a ton of new photos, music and playlists on it since that date.
Now I want to keep all these tracks, playlists and photos, but i don't no how to go about it.
If i plug it in to the MBP now, won't itunes back sync and delete all the new stuff?
How do i go about keeping the recent stuff on my iphone?
Sync'd my iPhone with iTunes on my mac and lost all imported ringtones. I go to reset the alarm ringtone for example and cannot find any of my imported ringtones. My default imported ringtone for the phone still shows, but if I go to edit it, none of my imported ringtones show up as options. This has happened since the last s/w update for my iPhone (didn't happen before)...

I have a HD movie that I bought from iTunes and when I want to sync the movie to my 4S, it only shows the SD version in itunes under the iphone 4s movie sync tab. It shows the HD version if I launch it from my imac, but for some reason I can't get it to sync the HD version to the 4S.
I did originally buy the HD movie on my 4S but had to download it at home on my mac due to large file sizes.
Any reason why my imac can see the HD movie but neither my iphone 4s or ipad 2 can sync the hd movie?

I am beyond frustrated right now. So far my transition to iPhone, iPad, and OS X has been really pleasant and convenient. This is just so beyond stupid though. Here is what I would like to happen:
I download podcasts on my phone while on the road, and I listen to them and delete them at my discretion. When I sync my phone to my computer, iTunes doesn't download any of the podcasts from my phone to the comptuer, nor does it delete them off my phone. That's ALL I want to happen.�
Instead, I download podcasts on my phone, listen and delete them at my discretion, and that works fine. But when I sync to my computer, it is just an exercise in frustration. It downloads the podcasts from my phone to my computer/iTunes, even though I have gone through every setting to make sure "sync podcasts" is off. I do not want the files transferred to my limited desktop space. Furthermore, it sometimes decides to just delete the podcast off my phone entirely. I like to leave old podcasts on to re-listen to sometimes.

i Have an iPhone 6 (128Gb) with over 60gb of music synced and I have noticed that whenever I make several changes on my iTunes (genre changes, files directory changes, etc) to multiple songs and then try to sync it to my phone it gets stuck on the last step until I'm forced to unplugged the phone (trying to stop the sync doesn'to work).
Once I reconnect my phone and the backup process starts again all my music files now appear as "other" and thus ITunes now tries to sync all my music again causing an error message stating that I do not have enough capacity..
i Have tried to troubleshoot this issue to isolate the problem but with no success. I was just forced to reinstall all my apps and music once again and I am extremely annoyed since it happens quite often (since I do end up editing large amount of songs on a constat basis). after making all those changes on ITunes i always make sure ITunes recognizes those files. I try to close and open iTunes to ensure it updates its library and all the files' links. All songs do appear and play normally on iTunes. Everything works on iTunes but then when I plug in my phone all new or modified songs appear grayed out with the circle to the left (indicating they will be synced, but it never happens)

My iphone 5 won't sync to itunes since I updated Os X and Itunes.
These are my updates installed:
iPhone iOS 7.1.1
iTunes version 11.2.2
I have tried a lot of things, such as rebooting mac, signing out itunes etc.
itunes only option is to restore iphone, and im not sure about that since my phone has been backing up on iCloud for the last 6 hours and doesn't seems to end :/
i imported a cd to itunes and tried adding it to my iphone and sync but it wont add it.View 1 Replies View Related
I upgraded to the new 9.0 version of iTunes and now my iPhone won't sync. Every time I try t it gives me the eternal windmill.... Solutions I've tried include the following:
-Plugging in iPhone while not connected to the airport
-Recreating iTunes Library
-Rebooting iPhone
I use a PC and a Mac. I have my music, apps etc on my PC desktop, and my photos and videos on my Macbook.
Just got an iPhone 4, is it possible to use my PC to sync most of my stuff, then plug it into my Macbook and sync only my photos and videos and nothing else?

I purchased a song from the iTunes Store on my iPhone and wanted to sync it to my Mac. But it doesn't. I found out that its size is not there, but it is a "stream" (if I open the list in iTunes with all my songs on my iPhone), but it isn't! Any ideas what I can do now? I don't want to purchase the same song again to have it on my Mac and iPad.

Itunes used to work fine, but now crashes every time I plug my iphone in. It gets partway through the sync, then quits with no error message. If I stop the syncing, itunes is fine. If I then select my iphone in the left hand column, iTunes crashes. My iphone is set to wirelessly sync. Am I supposed to affect any change if itunes won't allow me to change any syncing settings. Really, if it is wireless, it needs to be configured from the phone, not itunes...View 1 Replies View Related
I have had an iPhone for quite sometime and had iTunes on an old Windows laptop. About a week ago now, I purchased a MacBook Air and am now using this instead of my old laptop. But I am having trouble syncing everything, I'm clearly doing something wrong but I can't work out what it is. I have plugged my iPhone into the MacBook and I understand that pressing sync simply won't work, as it will try and put everything from this iTunes onto my iphone, thereby removing my iPhone stuff. I was told to click "Check for available downloads" but this just tries to download one silly app I got ages ago - nothing since then. It will just list this one download.The way I had imagined it would work, is that I press "Check for available downloads", this would bring everything to iTunes and then I can sync but obviously this is not the case.

I have an iPhone 4S. There are some songs that I purchased through iTunes that are not downloading to my phone. The songs are listed in iTunes under both "Music" and "Purchased." The songs are checked. On my iPhone, under SUMMARY, I have checked "sync only checked songs and videos," and under MUSIC I have checked "entire music library."
The phone and computer are both authorized to the same iTunes account. The weird thing is that, for most of the missing albums, the first song of the purchased album has downloaded, but the rest are not.

I had a regular MacBook that I sunc my iPhone with until I got a new MacBook Pro and I want everything from my iPhone on my new computer. I also want it to be the default coumputer that I sync with. How do I do this?

I just purchased 3 audiobooks through iTunes to listen to on my iPhone 3GS (plenty of free memory). When viewing "books" in my Library in iTunes on my Mac, it shows the 3 books I successfully purchased on my Mac. However, when I sync my phone to my Mac, my purchased audiobooks are not syncing nor showing up no matter what I do. All my songs/music purchased always syncs perfectly, and I have everything checked in iTunes to sync properly for audiobooks: sync "audiobooks" is checked (only book showing up on iPhone is one I purchased on my iPhone so it downloaded directly there from iTunes), "purchased" & "audiobooks" playlist checked, etc. I bought these audiobooks directly through iTunes and they downloaded to my iTunes on my Mac properly, but just will NOT sync over to my iPhone for me to listen to them!

How did a self-professed nonathlete run 13 marathons in 13 days?
"Your body can do anything your mind tells it to," said Amy VanDyke.
The Fond du Lac Public Library and community partners finish up their Healthy Brain/Healthy Body series of programs with Move Your Body at 6 p.m. Tuesday, August 9 in the library's new Idea Studio in the lower level.
Escape the heat and snap up great bargains at the Fond du Lac Public Library's used-books-and-more Chapter 52 Bookstore located at 52 Sheboygan St. Through August, the store is offering two sales:
Lower Town Fond du Lac, circa 1800s, was located at Scott Street Landing. There, where the road met the river, workers from nearby lumber mills and foundries poured into 24-hour saloons and nearly every night somebody was up to no good.
The Fond du Lac Public Library Langdon Divers Gallery is the site of the annual Wisconsin Regional Art Program (WRAP) show August 3 through September 6.
Retirement can be a great time of life, but understanding the intricacies of the paperwork can cause headaches. The Fond du Lac Public Library is offering a free class, "When I'm 65," at 10 a.m. Monday, August 15.
Using scraps of fabric, felt and a few buttons, crafters will make a key chain at the 1 p.m. Saturday, August 20, Crafternoon program at the Fond du Lac Public Library's Idea Studio.
The program is free and open to adults and teens in middle school or older. Space is strictly limited. All supplies will be provided. Under-aged children and walk-ins are not allowed.
Classic literature buffs are sure to enjoy this book. In Plotted: A Literary Atlas, author and San Francisco-based illustrator Andrew DeGraff has created 19 idiosyncratic and highly detailed maps based on the landscapes and locales in popular literature that offers readers a new way of looking at their favorite fictional worlds. Each chapter begins with a short essay by the book's editor Daniel Harmon with a somewhat philosophical look at some great classics.
Tracy Chevalier's latest book At the Edge of the Orchard is set in the 1830's and 1850's in Ohio and California. One of the reasons that I like to read historical fiction is that I learn new things. And I learned new things about apple trees, redwoods, sequoias, and the real life people--Johnny Appleseed, William Lobb, and Billie Lapham from At the Edge of the Orchard.

Reaper Billie in the Supernatural finale promo means Dean might be dunzo
On Wednesday, the Supernatural Season 11 finale will air and, based on a new extended promo, it sure looks like the episode will be an intense one. By intense, I mean that fans just might be saying goodbye to either Sam or Dean.
More: I'm terrified Supernatural's Dean might join forces with Amara
I know, sounds terrifying, right? It's no secret that Sam and Dean are still trying to figure out a way to get rid of Amara for good. Thanks to Amara weakening God during the penultimate Season 11 episode, things aren't looking good for the Winchesters.
By the minute, it seems like Amara is getting stronger and exactly what she wants — to end the world. Knowing Sam and Dean, if they can help it, they won't let that happen no matter what. Well, as you can watch below, Sam and Dean believe that by gathering souls, they can build a bomb to get rid of Amara and with the help of Rowena.
However, as good as that sounds, Rowena tells Sam and Dean, "You won't carry the bomb — you'll be the bomb." Yeah, that doesn't sound good. Actually, it looks like Rowena is staring at Dean as she utters those words. Plus, Dean ends up meeting Amara, so could he end up being "the bomb"? Who knows, but I'm even more worried for Dean than I have been this entire season. He's had a strong connection with Amara, so who knows if he'll be able to actually end up destroying her for good. Let's say he does end up taking on the role of the bomb and ends Amara, does that mean Dean will die in the process? I highly doubt that either Sam or Dean will die for good. I mean, when has that ever happened?
More: Supernatural: I have never been more worried for Sam and Dean's future
That said, if you notice, Billie the reaper is in the finale promo, too. Since the beginning of Season 11, she has told Sam and Dean that they will no longer get a second chance at life. There's a good chance Sam and Dean make a deal with Billie to help them get souls to get rid of Amara. If not, she just might be showing up to let Sam and Dean know her promise still stands. Well, let's just keep our fingers crossed that Sam and/or Dean don't blow up.
Whatever happens, I think it's safe to say that the Season 11 finale is going to be a nail-biter — and possibly a tearjerker.
Supernatural's Season 11 finale airs Wedensday, May 25 at 9/8c on The CW.

In his book, American Homicide, Professor Randolph Roth of Ohio State University argues that homicide rates correlate closely with four distinct phenomena: political instability; a loss of government legitimacy; a loss of fellow-feeling among members of society caused by racial, religious, or political antagonism; and a loss of faith in the social hierarchy. He examines 400 years of American history and concludes that these four factors best explain why homicide rates have gone up and down in the United States and in other Western countries, and why the United States today has the highest homicide rate among affluent nations.
Prof. Roth recently elaborated on his theories in the Washington Post. He writes--
When we lose faith in our government and political leaders, when we lack a sense of kinship with others, when we feel we just cant get a fair shake, it affects the confidence with which we go about our lives. Small disagreements, indignities and disappointments that we might otherwise brush off may enrage us generating hostile, defensive and predatory emotions and in some cases give way to violence.
He goes on to detail the varying homicide rates for different communities within the U.S., and how those homicide rates track with the particular community's faith in our governing institutions--
The homicide rate peaked for African Americans during the Nixon administration, at 43 per 100,000 persons per year, when their trust in government was at its lowest and their feelings of alienation were highest. And it peaked for white Americans in 1980, at 7 per 100,000 persons annually, when accumulated anger over busing, welfare, affirmative action, defeat in Vietnam and humiliation in Iran boiled over into the Reagan revolution.
During the 2008 election, Prof. Roth predicted that "the homicide rate in Americas cities would drop because of what [Barak Obama's] candidacy would mean to African Americans and other minorities, who live disproportionately in urban areas." Prof. Roth also "worried that the homicide rate would rise in the areas of the country most resistant to the idea of an African American president." Data from President Obama's time as president now seems to support the Professor's prediction (at least according to Prof. Roth--and I believe him).
So what does this mean for immigrants and asylum seekers?
Maybe the answer is fairly obvious--If we demonize and disenfranchise non-citizens, we increase the likelihood that they will engage in violent behavior, and perhaps other anti-social or criminal conduct as well. And of course, this is a vicious cycle--the more we alienate such people, the more likely they are to engage in bad behavior, and the more they engage in bad behavior, the more we will alienate them.
We also have to remember who we are talking about. Many aliens already feel, well, alienated. Many asylum seekers and refugees have already suffered trauma and feel insecure and victimized. Adding to that sense of alienation by labeling them terrorists or rapists, and by treating them as criminals, will only increase the likelihood of anti-social behavior in this population.
Prof. Roth, writing after the massacre in Las Vegas, notes that "most mass murderers have been deeply affected by the distrust, disillusionment and enmity that pervade our society.... We have all played a part in creating them."
If the violent outliers of our society in some ways reflect who we are, then the obvious solution is for us to do better. To be more civil, more inclusive, more compassionate. To disagree respectfully. To listen more and talk less. Frankly, it's not all that difficult. It's what teachers teach in our schools every day. It's what we require in our workplaces. It's what we see in our places of worship.
Unfortunately, it is not what we have in the immigration debate. Read the comments section of any news article about immigration and you'll see what I mean. Politicians--most notably our Commander-in-Chief--have taken the visceral feelings about immigration and amplified them. This creates its own vicious cycle, and empowers extremists groups, like we saw in Charlottesville.
Prof. Roth's work (and common sense) suggests that if you keep hammering away at vulnerable people, a few of them will eventually react negatively. Hopefully, this will not take the form of violent behavior, but the likelihood of a problem seems greater in such a toxic and threatening environment.
I do think there are things that ordinary people can do to help. Many individuals and organizations have been working to support immigrants, Dreamers, Muslims, and other targets of xenophobia. Giving people hope, and showing them that they are not alone, can mitigate the damage. Government attorneys, Immigration Judges, Asylum Officers and USCIS Officers who continue to do their jobs, and who enforce the law fairly and treat non-citizens with respect, also help counter the harm caused by haters.
Most research suggests that immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans, but if Prof. Roth's theory is correct, the current Administration's nativist language and policies might help cause an uptick in criminal behavior in our immigrant communities. And of course, if immigrant crime goes up, the Administration can use the increase to justify its anti-immigrant policies. It's up to us--those of us who stand with immigrants--to continue offering them help and hope, and to try to break this cycle before it begins.

PHOENIX — Allan Near's life was forever changed on Saturday, June 1, 1996.
That night, he and his niece met some friends at Graham's Central Station near 35th Avenue and Indian School Road.
"I had to go to work early the next morning so I left early and she stayed behind," said Near. "That's my last memory of the night. My next memory is waking up in the hospital."
That was 13 days later.
Phoenix Police Sgt. Darren Burch said a few hours after Near left Graham's, patrol officers found him laying on the side of the road near 3rd Street and Mineral at South Mountain.
"He was unconscious and had been badly beaten. It was also clear he'd been robbed," said Burch. "His car, a 1985 Ford Bronco, was found burning in an alley near 71st Avenue and Indian School."
Near had a severe head injury.
"They had homicide detectives on my case because doctors told them I wouldn't survive," Near said.
Near thinks he was carjacked but has absolutely no memory of the crime. It's had a tremendous long-term affect on his life. He's moved far away from Phoenix and spends most of his time home alone because he finds it hard to trust anyone.
Because his short-term memory is so badly affected, his career as an electronics technician is over. He's been trying to attend classes but is struggling to remember what he learns each day. He lives on disability now.
"I would very much like whoever did this to me face justice," said Near.

"Finding Aldo is part of the fun, but the real enjoyment comes with exploring the beautiful outdoors of our region in a way that reflects his love and respect for nature. "Mary Hudack Greater Mauston Area Chamber of Commerce
Past News ReleasesRSS
Mauston, Wisconsin (PRWEB) May 05, 2016
Bolstered by a $33,000 Joint Effort Marketing grant from the Wisconsin Department of Tourism, Greater Mauston today launched a campaign inviting outdoors lovers from near and far to connect with nature and each other this summer while searching for icons of Aldo Leopold and posting selfies for prizes.
The Where's Aldo campaign features icons of the famous conservationist and writer at locations throughout Juneau County that spotlight the kind of sustainable outdoor activities he loved, including horseback riding, boating, fishing, wildlife photography, camping and much more. Greater Mauston is just a 30-minute drive north of Wisconsin Dells.
Governor Scott Walker and Department of Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett (http://bit.ly/1TGbbcn) had some fun with the Aldo selfie faces last week during their statewide tour promoting the importance of tourism. In addition to the Aldo faces sprinkled throughout the region during May and June, a life-size Aldo figure will move around the county during the campaign. Aldo cand can be located on an interactive map, sponsored by partner Juneau County EDC. Full details of the campaign can be found on the Mauston Tourism website, https://mauston.org/WheresAldo, on the Where's Aldo page.
"Finding Aldo and posting your selfies with him is fun, but the real enjoyment comes with exploring the beautiful outdoors of our region in a way that reflects his love and respect for nature," said Mary Hudack, Executive Director of the Greater Mauston Area Chamber of Commerce.
Who is Aldo?
Considered to be the father of modern conservation, Aldo Leopold is best known for his A Sand County Almanac, published in 1949, a little more than a year after his death. The book grew out of his work rejuvenating a worn out farm along the Wisconsin River, planting tens of thousands of trees and making detailed wildlife observations there while using a converted chicken coop as his headquarters. Greater Mauston is located just up river from Leopold's beloved shack and farm, now the site of the green-built Leopold Center.
"Aldo's work and life reflected his conviction that man needs to live in harmonious balance with his natural surroundings. His philosophy and example are more relevant today than ever," said Hudack, who is spearheading the campaign with support from other communities, organizations and businesses within the county.
"Our Where's Aldo campaign invites visitors to enjoy Greater Mauston's outdoors while raising awareness of Aldo Leopold's approach to conservation, land ethic and the responsible enjoyment of our lakes, rivers, woods, trails, wildlife and natural beauty," Hudack added.

Surgery Can Benefit T2DM Control for Patients With Lumbar Stenosis
Surgery Can Benefit T2DM Control for Patients With Lumbar Stenosis
THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Successful lumbar surgery is associated with improved glycemic control for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2), according to a study published in the February issue of The Spine Journal.
In a prospective observational study, Kyoung-Tae Kim, M.D., Ph.D., from Kyungpook National University Hospital in Daegu, South Korea, and colleagues examined the effects of postoperative improvement in physical activity on body mass index (BMI) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in patients with LSS and DM-2. One hundred nineteen patients were enrolled and assessed over a two-year follow-up period.
The researchers found that the overall HbA1c values were 7.08 ± 0.94, 6.58 ± 0.87, 6.59 ± 0.79, and 6.59 ± 0.79 percent, respectively, before, and at six months, one year, and two years after surgery (P values: six months, 0.024; one year, 0.021, and two years, 0.038). The difference between pre- and postoperative HbA1c was statistically significant in the not well-controlled sugar group (P < 0.01). Statistically significant BMI reductions were seen in the second year after surgery in the overweight group (P = 0.034). There were strong correlations for postoperative HbA1c changes with improvements in the Oswestry Disability Index, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA), and JOA Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire scores.
"The present study demonstrates that in patients with DM-2 and LSS, successful lumbar surgery may facilitate glycemic control by enabling an increase in the patient's level of physical activity," the authors write.

This year's nasty strain of the flu is straining local medical resources and "dramatically" increasing pressure on hospitals as they deal with 20 outbreaks confirmed so far at long-term care and retirement homes.
20 outbreaks at seniors' homes, hospitals under pressure, as flu season intensifies
This year's nasty strain of the flu is straining local medical resources and "dramatically" increasing pressure on hospitals as they deal with 20 outbreaks confirmed so far at long-term care and retirement homes.
"We're knee-deep in outbreak," Lora Piccinin, the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit's manager of infectious disease prevention, reported Wednesday, as her staff continued to monitor the growing number (six new cases confirmed in the last six days) and offer advice to seniors homes on how to "get them out of outbreak."
The health unit declares an outbreak when a home has at least three cases of residents with very specific symptoms in the same geographic area of the home, within a 48-hour time frame. The homes are required to make all sorts of changes to reduce the chances of transmission to more residents, including: posting signs; restricting visitors; containing sick residents to a single area; having them dine at separate times; using disposable items such as salt and pepper packets instead of items that are passed around; intensifying cleaning with more powerful solutions; and reducing activities in which large numbers of residents congregate, such as bingo.
"It's about awareness, it's about activities, it's about restricting visitation," said Piccinin.
The homes have the double challenge of taking care of very sick patients with staff whose numbers have been reduced by the flu. An outbreak alert is only lifted when a home has had eight consecutive days when no new cases have started.
So far, there have been no confirmed deaths from the flu locally, but there have been "a lot more" hospitalizations compared to last year, when the predominant strain, H1N2, did not hit seniors as hard and the season peaked at 12 or 13 outbreaks. The previous year, when the H3N2 strain targeted seniors more severely, the outbreaks peaked at 20. This year, H3N2 is here again, and the situation will likely get worse before it gets better, Piccinin said.
Of the 20 outbreaks affecting 17 homes (some have multiple outbreaks), 14 outbreaks are respiratory related. Six of those are confirmed flu outbreaks, with several more suspected flu outbreaks. The remaining six outbreaks are enteric, meaning stomach viruses that cause diarrhea and vomiting.
With these outbreaks, hospitals "get it from multiple angles," according to Windsor Regional Hospital CEO David Musyj. First, they're admitting many of these very sick residents for treatment. But also, their ability to discharge recovered patients is curtailed because homes under outbreak sometimes can't take new residents or even re-admit residents coming back from hospital.
This creates an increasing number of alternate level of care (ALC) patients, who are well enough to go somewhere else but must stay in the hospital because they have nowhere to go. Windsor Regional has managed over the last few years to whittle down its ALC patients from more than 100 daily at its two sites, to around 30 by last summer. But in recent months that number has crept up to 54 currently, which represents one-tenth of its 551 beds.
Wait times in the emergency department have risen because there are so few available beds to admit new patients.
The flu outbreaks has made a tough situation worse, said Musyj. There's been "dramatically more pressure on the system" the last 10 days, he said.
"It's January. It's only going to get worse and it's going to get worse by the day."
On Tuesday, Ontario Hospital Association president Anthony Dale wrote Health Minister Eric Hoskins warning him that Ontario's hospitals are coping with "significant capacity challenges" that are likely going to get worse in the coming weeks as flu season peaks.
"As flu season progresses, there will undoubtedly be increased congestion in hospital emergency departments and longer lengths of stay in acute, complex continuing care, mental health and rehabilitation beds in the winter months," Dale said, arguing for increased long-term investment in health services in this year's budget.
Musyj said Dale's letter could have been written specifically for Windsor Regional. For the last several years, the hospital has introduced "flex beds" to handle increasing capacity, opening up hospital units when it's stretched to the limit. But because of the way the ministry funds hospitals, the $2-million annual cost for flex beds isn't formally funded. The hospital has to hope funding will eventually arrive — two years down the road.
Piccinin stressed the best defence against the flu is the vaccine that's available for no charge from family doctors and most pharmacies. "It's still not too late to get the shot."

Schering-Plough to remain independent, Hassan says
Schering-Plough will stay independent, CEO Fred Hassan said. "We don't need a merger, we are doing fine by ourselves," Hassan said during an interview at the biennial meeting of the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufactures and Associations (IFPMA) in Geneva last week. Hassan's comments follow recent weeks of industry-wide speculation about possible M&A deals involving Schering-Plough. Last month, Business Week's "Inside Wall Street" column suggested the company could be scooped up by Merck or Johnson & Johnson, or combined with Bristol-Myers Squibb. When asked if he had considered a merger with Bristol-Myers Squibb, Hassan told Reuters: "Not that more than any others, I mean we always have to look at the landscape and going forward but it is not necessarily a priority for us." Hassan told Bloomberg.com he plans to focus on Schering-Plough's research after spending his first three years at the company improving the company's balance sheet. "CEOs have to get much closer to R&D," Hassan said. "I really think that is the biggest challenge in our industry." Hassan was the former CEO of Pharmacia until Pfizer bought the company in April 2003. Later that month, Hassan was appointed Schering-Plough CEO. Hassan was in Geneva to take the reins as president of IFPMA from its previous leader, Novartis CEO Daniel Vasella. IFPMA is a global, nonprofit group representing the world's research-based pharmaceutical, biotech and vaccine companies.

A proposal for a major collaboration between the Grimsby Institute Group (GIG) and the Lincoln College Group (LCG) creating one of the largest training capabilities in the UK.
The two organisations are exploring collaboration on apprenticeships, higher education, international training and developing provision identified by the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership as priority sector skills areas, specifically health and care.
LCG and GIG share a vision of the future of education and training and believe the move would boost capacity and innovation – enabling them to thrive as new policy reforms are implemented.
The plans do not involve a formal merger, but lead to shared expertise and commercial development across the areas in scope. This would enable both groups to broaden expertise, benefit from increased resources and enhance existing strengths.
The first stage of the partnership is the creation of Greater Lincolnshire Apprenticeships Limited, a joint venture that would create the largest apprenticeships provider in Greater Lincolnshire and one of the largest in the UK.
A memorandum of understanding between the two college groups has been signed, providing a formal framework for them to work together from now on.
LCG CEO Gary Headland and GIG CEO Gill Alton both have a strong track record of implementing successful collaboration agreements across a number of sectors.
They said: "The potential benefits of a collaboration of this nature are extensive. For two College Groups, which have remained strong through growth and innovation, to come together like this is really exciting.
"We share a vision of achieving our goals by being employer-led, listening to industry and business and developing training to meet its needs. By tailoring our offer in this way we give our students the very best opportunities for successful careers.
"With increased capacity, broader capability and greater innovation through collaboration – the needs of employers and young people in the region will be met more efficiently and effectively.
"We look forward to developing our collaboration plans over the coming months with some exciting announcements that will benefit the local economy in the near future."

In many states, swap meet organizers should ask vendors for their permit numbers and verify them with the state to find out if swap meet vendors are licensed. For example, in California, organizers can ask sellers to fill out form BOE-410-D to acquire seller information such as permit numbers, business names, addresses and identification numbers, as described on the California State Board of Equalization website.Continue Reading
Many states require swap meet vendors to hold seller permits. In states such as California, swap meet organizers are not legally permitted to rent stalls or sale space to vendors unless they can show proof that they have acquired a seller's permit. Sellers must also be able to show proof of their permits upon request. California uses form BOE-410-D Swap Meets, Flea Markets or Special Events Certification to organize seller permits and swap meet information. To find out if vendors are properly licensed, run through the following steps.
In California, swap meet organizers must collect specific seller information including the seller's business name, address, phone number, ID number, description of items to be sold and a valid permit number. Sellers must provide photo ID and a Social Security Number to apply for a permit, as reported by ProSwapMeet.org.
Swap meet organizers can verify permit numbers by filling out an online form on the California State Board of Equalization website, calling the toll free number or using the department's mobile application.
In a few cases, sellers are not required to have permits when selling products that are not taxable and making occasional sales. In these cases, sellers must provide a reason for not having a permit.
Permit requirements and verification processes may vary between states. Swap meet organizers should always check with their state's board to stay up to date on current requirements.Learn more about Marketing & Sales

Have you fallen behind in the class? If so, here's your chance to catch up on assignments.
With that, onwards with Week 5! Images are a central part of almost any form of science outreach. Check out this article listing some amazing science images from 2014, via iO9 (we'll be referencing some of these pictures throughout this post). Do you notice anything in common amongst those images? Many of them are captivating and interesting, even without context. A well composed image will do that for you. You want to capture attention? Make sure your photos, illustrations, graphics, etc are the best they possibly can be. As a last point, all of this image stuff isn't just for your outreach. Better images will improve your academic career, through better publications and better material for your academic talks.
There is a lot to know about image production and you can consider the material for this week as a first look at a much larger world of images. This week, you'll be creating some of the content that you will ultimately use in your outreach. Using either an already existing image or a newly created image, make it outreach-ready. It is easy to spend a lot of time editing just one image, so spend at most 30 minutes on this exercise. We don't want you to get stuck in post-processing purgatory!
What exactly makes an image compelling is more art than science, but we're going to give you a few tips that you can use to make this process more manageable.
Image Composition. Believe it or not, you have control over what you display in your image. And how you compose your image is extremely important. Think about what you want your audience to see, vs what you are currently showing them. Think about how they will perceive it, because often perception and reality are not in alignment.
This photo is extremely well composed. The narrative is very simple: the dinosaur this bone belongs to is huge! It conveys that message very well by relating the size of the bone to the boy in the image. Even better, is that the boy seems to have a sense of amazement about him as he looks upon the bone. It is very clear that the photographer spent some time thinking about how the message should be received.
The Rule of Thirds. We already talked about the photography use of the rule of thirds and how it can be used in presentations. What we'd like to share now is when you should break this rule. It is true that aligning your image subject with the imaginary grid lines adds some dramatic flair, but you don't always need to do this. In fact there are some instances where you just don't want to.
In this photo, the author intentionally centers the terrifying mosquito tornado. In this instance, the twister is definitely a centerpiece and is treated as such in this composition. In fact, placing it off to the side would just detract from the overall image and serve as nothing more than a distraction. Another good reason to disregard the rule of thirds, is when you are trying to preserve symmetry.
Generally speaking, it is a good idea to keep at least two versions of an image. One where the placement of the subject is centered and another where you are playing with your subject's placement in the image.
Color and Contrast. One of the most important things to do is to make sure your images are high contrast (and this will apply to everything else on your poster as well). Remember the image of the hawk from last week? Notice how it clearly stands out from the background, even though the colors are similar. That difference is due to contrast. In image terms, contrast is the visual difference between light and dark. The less contrast you have, the more indistinguishable borders/boundaries will be. The more contrast there is, the more pronounced shadows and highlights will become. Below is a before and after image of popcorn, taken by Anthony:
The first image is the original, and the second image has been edited a bit to increase the contrast. Notice how it is much easier to see the texture of the popcorn and the seasoning. The downside to increasing the contrast too much is that your image may have unintended dark areas that become exaggerated. And similarly, your light areas will look grossly overexposed.
Contrast also plays a role in color. Or perhaps it is the other way around…
Recall the color wheel from our middle and high school art education. Each color on the wheel has an opposite, known as its complement.
These complements provide an inherent contrast when paired. One of the easiest ways to provide contrast (and aesthetic) artistically is to use these complements. You can even expand your palette from a two color set, to multiples using complements as a basis. You can try color triads (break the wheel into thirds and use corresponding colors in each third), tetrads (fourths), etc. Adobe provides a helpful website that allows you to play with different colour combinations following these sorts of rules.
But sometimes it isn't enough to just use complementary colors to provide contrast. For instance, many people are red-green colorblind. So how can we modify our color choice to provide maximum contrast? For that we need to understand color saturation.
One way of thinking of colors is to look at the HSV color space. The HSV (Hue, saturation, value) color space is a cylindrical representation of the color wheel.
Each hue (or color) of the wheel can be thought of in terms of its own color intensity (from white to full color) and blackness. By adjusting the saturation and value you can enhance the contrast between two colors. For example, when dealing with red-green colorblindness you could change the saturation of the green to be less saturated (more white) and adjust the value of the red to be darker:
Check out this example from the European Space Agency:
This image uses hues and saturation to demonstrate temperature intensity and changes in color value to show magnetic field lines.
Leading Lines. Your eye will naturally navigate around an image as you absorb it. But did you know that the content of that image could impact how you look around it? Marketing people are excellent at this. For instance, Cosmopolitan magazine very specifically lays out its cover page to attract your attention to the internal content that will garner sales. That's why they very commonly put the sex column details in the upper left side of the cover:
The content of the image itself can also influence your eye, and the exploitation of that is called leading lines.
The image above is a classic example, as the road draws your eye to the real star of the show: the scenery. Sometimes leading lines have negative effects:
In this image, the lines in front of the bird draw your eye up, but to nothing. Not only that, they are distracting from the subject (the bird). I'm sure you've seen family pictures where someone is standing in front of a tree, or a pole. Since images are two dimensional, these bad cases of leading lines does nothing but distract your audience from an otherwise excellent graphic.
Image Cropping (and Scaling). Unless you are dealing with vector graphics, you will never want to scale your image to a larger size. Scaling upwards too much will exaggerate the inherent pixelation of an image, reducing image quality.
However, you can crop an image to improve your image (to crop an image means to remove parts of it). Cropping allows you to modify an image's aspect ratio (the ratio of the length to the width), increase the focus on the image subject (without scaling), or even allow you to reposition it. Let's say you want to apply the rule of thirds to an already existing image that is not rule-thirds-compliant. You can do that, by cropping away parts of the image until it does fit the rule of thirds.

A pretty straightforward traditional biscotti recipe.
This may or may not be a review of this recipe, because I changed it so much, but here goes. I used 8 ounces of butter and 4 ounces of good olive oil, left out the almonds, substituted almond extract for the anise and brushed the logs with beaten egg whites before baking. I also baked them longer the second time. I then made 4 separate logs with four different flavors. They were Cherry flavored dried cranberries, sweetened coconut flakes, walnuts, and cocoa powder (2 tsp)and chocolate chips. The cranberries were the best! This is a great base recipe -- and I will for sure make it again! - 25 Jan 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I am getting so many compliments on my biscotti! From Italian people too!! I've made this recipe twice. At first you'll think the dough is too sticky but the large amount of butter in the recipe makes it easy to work with. Once I got to the point of adding flour I changed to a dough hook on my stand mixer. Without that, this could get tedious to mix. Excellent recipe - thank you! - 11 Mar 2003 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I've been experimenting with biscotti recipes, lately, and this is by far our favorite! My husband took some to work and 2 people asked for the recipe. I put the dough into 2 large loaves - next time I'll make the loaves smaller, as the sliced pieces were a bit large. Make this; you'll be happy! Also - I used Splenda for Baking for the sugar. - 16 Jan 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine 2000 are affected.
CERT Advisory CA-2002-22 warns of several serious vulnerabilities in Microsoft SQL Server that enable remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, alter database content, compromise SQL servers, and, in some configurations, compromise server hosts.
Individually, these vulnerabilities have significant preconditions that are difficult for an attacker to overcome. However, if exploited in combination, they would allow an attacker to gain additional flexibility and increase his or her chances for success.
The following vulnerabilities are highlighted in the advisory:
Although Microsoft has gone public about the vulnerabilities and already addressed the situation by releasing the Security Bulletins, CERT believes their collective severity warrants additional attention. Hence, the advisory.
Since December 2001, Microsoft has published eight Microsoft Security Bulletins for more than a dozen vulnerabilities in the Microsoft SQL Server.

Samsung is gearing up to debut their first Android tablet, the Galaxy Tab, at next week's IFA show in Berin and the company just put the first teaser video online for all to enjoy. Details are limited when it comes to official specs, but the video clip reveals the Galaxy Tab will ship with Android 2.2 with Touchwiz UI, have Flash Player 10.1 support, and the ability to make video calls.
Based on everything we have seen so far, the Galaxy Tab is really just a super-sized Galaxy S with a 7-inch display. Several leaks have suggested the Tab will also feature 1024×600 pixel resolution, 3.2MP camera, QVGA front camera, GPS, 3G support, 802.11N WiFi, 4000 mAh battery, and 16 GB of internal storage. Images in video seem to back up the higher resolution as we can see several custom apps which a split-screen mode.
All four major U.S. carriers seem to have a good relationship with Samsung, so it's possible we could see this tablet on each one (similar to the Galaxy S). The leaked Verizon roadmap suggested they are launching a Samsung tablet in November, but I expect more carriers will also pick up the device. Other rumors also claim that an 8-inch version might appear in October and a 10-inch one could land in December.
Let us know what you think of the Galaxy Tab. Has Samsung done enough to win you over? What missing specs would you like to see included?

As law enforcement leaders, we know that our success in fighting crime can be traced to several factors. In 2006 the typical police officer is better trained, better educated, and better equipped than his or her predecessors. In addition, advances in communication and information technologies have allowed law enforcement administrators to develop comprehensive, integrated crime reduction strategies.
But no factor has been more crucial to our success than the partnership between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. By embracing the philosophy of community policing, law enforcement agencies have been able to work with citizens to create safer towns and cities. We have learned that to be effective, police cannot operate alone: they must have the active support and assistance of citizens and communities.
Unfortunately, the strength of this vital and essential partnership can be eroded or even destroyed if community members fear that police officers have switched from serving as guardians of their civil rights to violators of their civil rights.
Sadly, over the years there have been isolated incidents in which law enforcement officers have acted in an unconstitutional or criminal fashion. Clearly, this is unacceptable. When it does occur, we, as law enforcement executives, must act quickly and decisively to ensure that the individuals responsible are removed from positions of authority and, if warranted, prosecuted for their criminal acts.
Unfortunately, these isolated incidents often nurture the perception that this type of behavior is institutionalized, and that police departments cannot be trusted to treat all members of the community in a fair and equitable fashion. Although not accurate, this perception is extremely damaging to crime reduction efforts. Without community confidence and support, law enforcement agencies cannot succeed.
The root causes of tension between police officers and the communities they serve are as understandable as they are historic. Law enforcement officers occupy a unique position in a free society. They patrol the narrow line that separates freedom from lawlessness, and even the most basic enforcement action taken by police officers can appear to infringe on the rights of others. The nature of their duties ensures that law enforcement officers will be placed in the center of situations that are typified by stress and hostility. As a result, law enforcement officers are often the focal point for rage and confusion. If you add to this already volatile combination the perception that the officers are acting in an unfair or inequitable fashion, it becomes clear why some members of the community view law enforcement officers with suspicion and contempt instead of with trust and respect.
Although achieving an understanding of the causes of these difficulties is helpful, we, as a profession, must not be content to merely understand the problems that face us. We must seek and develop affirmative solutions.
It is for this reason that the IACP, with support from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, has released a new publication aimed at helping law enforcement agencies enhance their efforts to uphold and protect the civil rights of the constituents they serve.
The publication, titled Protecting Civil Rights: A Leadership Guide for State, Local, and Tribal Law Enforcement, provides a comprehensive overview of the civil rights issues and challenges that today's law enforcement leaders face and gives specific, everyday recommendations on ways to both protect and promote civil rights.
This leadership guide not only provides suggestions that are designed to prevent civil rights violations but also highlights ways in which agencies can work with their communities to build a better partnership. It is our hope that this book, with its practical guidelines and recommendations, will help all law enforcement leaders recognize the need for visionary leadership in this critical area and allow every agency to strengthen its resolve to be a part of the solution.
The guide offers recommendations in six areas: early intervention, the civilian complaint process, use of force, racial profiling, personnel management, and data management. Some of the key recommendations are as follows:
• All departments should have a clear and unequivocal departmental policy prohibiting racial profiling and promoting bias-free policing.
• All agencies, regardless of size, should strive to incorporate the core concepts of early intervention into their personnel management practices.
• Every department should have a clear policy and well-defined practices for handling civilian and internally generated complaints against officers or the department as a whole.
• Agencies must recruit, hire, and promote personnel in a manner that best ensures that officers throughout the ranks reflect the communities they serve.
Copies of Protecting Civil Rights: A Leadership Guide for State, Local, and Tribal Law Enforcement are available on the IACP Web site at www.theiacp.org.
Establishing and maintaining a safe community is difficult at the best of times. When the bond of trust and confidence between a police agency and its community is strained, the task becomes almost impossible. It is my belief that this guide will help agencies ensure that this vital partnership not only survives but flourishes.

To prepare for our upcoming exam on gases, students worked in groups to make instructional videos using Screenchomp. Below are the steps I used to facilitate the process:
Step 1
Each group designed and solved one problem on a blank sheet of paper. I did not allow the use of any materials, textbooks, etc.
Step 2
Groups recorded their solution using Screenchomp according to the below rules:
- Question is only spoken
- Solution is spoken and written
- Multiple colors are used
- Each member must be heard or seen (handwriting)
Step 3
Groups shared link with Google form on class website. Spreadsheet that collects links was embedded on website using Google's iFrame gadget.
Step 4
Students watched chomps for homework (the flip). Quiz questions the following day were be randomly chosen from the chomps.

The Hottest Mini-Trucks to Build
Mini-trucks have been popular for several years because they are affordable and get great fuel mileage. For many custom truck guys and gals the mini-truck movement has been going strong since their high school days, when import pickups with cranked down torsion bars, lowering blocks and Porsche alloys ruled the streets. When air shocks were introduced to the scene, mini-truck fanatics could not wait to get their tiny treasures even further in the weeds as they rolled with the sun shining into the cab through a sliding ragtop, cranking Rob Bass. It's wild to see how the trends have evolved from machined 16-inch Suburban wheels and chrome Pathfinder wheels to body drops and billets. Those kids who were once rolling to river runs with just enough money for fuel, beer and a bag of chips are all grown up now and building minis that are flat on the ground with tons of body modifications and even some with V-8 power. There is another generation of truck kids right behind them, hungry to start on a project. (more…)

From Garbage Dumps To Royal Palaces
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
-Psalm 139:7, 8
A number of years ago, my wife gave me a ring. It wasn't my wedding ring (although she did give me one of those) and it wasn't a fancy dress ring.
She gave me the one true ring, my precious. Well, she gave me a copy of it anyway.
I'm talking of course about the revered and much sought after jewel in J.R.R. Tolkien's poetic crown, The Lord of the Rings. For those of you that haven't read the books or watched the movies, please bear with me. I hope not to bore you.Read More
Don't Let the Cat Out of the Bag
Guest Post by Dr. Steven Petcher
As I practiced veterinary medicine for over 29 years, I witnessed many things not normally seen by people outside of that setting. The law of Alabama declares that if you put out food for a stray dog or cat, that animal then belongs to you. It is also a law that this dog or this cat must receive a rabies vaccination once a year or more recently an optional, 3 year vaccination. The inherent dilemma following these acts of kindness then becomes, "How do you catch, hold and vaccinate an animal that is truly wild but eats food you put out for it?"Read More
How You Can See God's Call in Your Life for Missions
By Dr. Monty, CVM Missions Mobilization Coordinator
Called. You probably hear it all the time—and may have even reflected on it a great deal. As you have probably realized, "Called" is CVM's theme for the year, and this theme has allowed us to focus on God's call in our lives.
I challenge you to "go deep" with the idea of "called," reflecting on what that call looks like in our lives, considering the possibility that we should be following God's call into new areas.Read More
Short-Term Missions // From Iowa to Nicaragua
A few months ago, Taylor Peterson, a first year vet student from Iowa State, was granted the opportunity to serve on her first CVM Short-term Mission trip to Nicaragua. Taylor and her team (4 vets, 11 students) spent a week working alongside Oscar and Tammy Gaitan, a pastor and his wife, in the rural community of Espavel.
Malia: Why Nicaragua?
Taylor: The ISU Christian Veterinary Fellowship group has been traveling to Nicaragua for a few years now to work with the Gaitan's. The mission team used to just hold clinics in the city of Catarina but last year was the first year the team went out to Espavel, a rural community. Pastor Lucas is the minister in Espavel and Oscar has been helping to expand the church there. There had never been veterinarians in Espavel previous to our visit last year, making this a great area not just for treating animals but to reach out to the people of Espavel and share Christ's love through service.
Close Encounters
Guest Post by Dr. Steven Petcher
As a boy growing up in South Alabama, cutting firewood for our fire place or for my grandmother's potbellied stove was a natural part of life. One law of the land (my father's rules) that I could never quite understand was that it was an unpardonable sin to fish on Sunday, but somehow it was permissible to cut "Lightered wood" (fat pine kindling) on Sunday afternoon for my grandmother. This was used to help start the fire. This very combustible wood filled with pine rosin comes from the heart of the Long Leaf Pine Tree. This wood can be splintered into small pieces with an axe. As a typical boy this seemed like it must fit into the category of "Working on Sunday" but since that was the only day we were at my grandmother's house it must have also nicely fit into my dad's classification of "The ox is in the ditch."Read More

Many students don't see, however, that their passion does not need to be programming. Think about it, if a child wants to do something with sports, they could develop a technology that analyzes plays, so players could work on becoming better athletes. Anything is possible with programming not matter what your interests are. I actually think that implementing programming into your passion can give you new insights into your passion. You can see it in a way you have never seen it before.
So, if programming is so important, how are we going to get kids active in it? First, we need teachers to start teaching computer programming. In the 21st century every single school should have a Computer Science program. We also need to get students involved with programs like Raspberry Pi and Arduino, so they can start bringing their ideas to life. Finally, students should start learning on their own. Get resources such as Code.org and Codecademy.com. These sites offer students and adults some of the principles of programming that make everything from Facebook, to Google work. This is the time for students to get excited about what their learning, and Computer Science is no exception.

Coming soon to www.AllThingsGirl.com.
Happy New Year! I'm Back!

Hello and Happy New Year! So sorry my holiday break ended up being longer than anticipated. But it's a new year, and I can't wait. I have a really good feeling about this year, lots of changes for me, I hope. I need to shake things up, make a change, do something different. I am tired of doing the same thing, day in and day out. Life is too short….I don't want to have another year like last year. I may not survive! Litigation is not for the weak of heart and I am trying to find my way out. Stay tuned…..
The holiday season was certainly a slow one in terms of Chick Lit. However, there were a couple of gems that came out right around Christmas, that held me over till the new year:
These are both fun books that are quick, enjoyable reads. The Overnight Socialite is a modern take on My Fair Lady that is funny and heartwarming. The Nanny Returns is the sequel to the best seller The Nanny Diaries; this one was a little more melancholy as Nanny and her former charge Grayer, have both grown up and are having a hard time dealing with life's more challenging obstacles.
Next up, on February 2, Kristin Hannah's latest:
Did I miss anything over the holidays? Have you read anything good that my bookshelf is missing?? Let me know!
Russell A. Irving, the author of Improve Your Marriage – Don't Overlook the Obvious, reviewed on this blog, is offering you a discounted chance to improve your marriage:
Through Monday, November 30, 2009, readers can order a copy of Improve Your Marriage – Don't Overlook the Obvious, for 40%
off the retail price if they order from this site: www.DontOverlookTheObvious.com and use the coupon code: 6SB8HB3X.
The Shopping Season has begun!
Is it Christmas yet???
Posted November 23, 2009on:
Good lord, I am bored. With the exception of New Moon, (which was EXCELLENT) there have been no new movies that have piqued my interest and no new chick lit books either. Will there be any new books coming out at Christmas? I haven't even gotten an email from Borders, letting me know what books are being released.
Am I missing something? Is there anything good out there? I bought the new Joyce Carol Oates book, Little Bird of Heaven, and it is very, very slow….I am limping through it. But, I bought Alli Vincent's new book, Believe it, Be it, and Sarah Parlin's book, Going Rogue. Check back soon for my review of both!
The last month has just been boring. Nothing good goin' on. Haven't seen any really great movies or read any really great books. The last month has just been blah. And then I see this:
Woohoo!! I can't wait!! Jennifer Lancaster's next book is due in bookstores May 4, 2010 and can be preordered on Amazon now: http://www.amazon.com/Fair-Lazy-Television-Culture-Up-Manifesto/dp/045122986X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257188619&sr=8-1
The full title is: My Fair Lazy: One Reality Television Addict's Attempt to Discover If Not Being ADumb Ass Is the New Black; Or, A Culture-Up Manifesto.
Just what I needed to start off the week on the right foot!!

Bell Lightbox draws TIFF action southwards
New festival hub launches Sept. 12Downtown or Uptown?
That's the dilemma for deal-makers at next month's Toronto International Film Festival with the new Bell Lightbox headquarters pulling the fest's center of gravity from chic Yorkville to the city's up-and-coming entertainment district downtown.
To reflect film market action starting to migrate south, TIFF has rebranded its meet-market, the former Match Club on Bay Street near the Sutton Place Hotel, as the new Filmmakers' Lounge on Peter Street, just north of the Hyatt Regency Hotel on King Street.
"It will feel like there's a real geographical focus for the film festival," TIFF co-director Cameron Bailey says of the new festival hub around Bell Lightbox, which launches September 12 with a huge block party, and the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Bailey cautions TIFF's southwards push will take time, as TIFF market-makers stay at their favorite hotels in classy Yorkville.
What's more, Toronto has no official market like Cannes or AFM, as email and speed dial keys enable film buyers and sellers to connect in an instant.
"But if they want to be where the festival is, where the heart of the festival is this year, that will be round King and John Street," Bailey insisted.
Fest director Piers Handling agrees Bell Lightbox and surrounding restaurants, nightclubs and hotels will become a magnet for festival networking, partying and deal-making, just not overnight.
"It will take a couple of years for that to happen. I saw this occur in Berlin," he said, referring to the Berlinale gradually coalescing round the Potsdamer Platz with red carpet film premiers, hotels, restaurants, and the festival's staff headquarters.
And while Hollywood stars will hold court at premiere parties on King and Queen streets downtown, they won't likely stay in neighboring boutique hotels just yet.
The A-listers will instead overnight in Yorkville at the Four Seasons and the Intercontinental, which have long guarded their privacy and served their every needs when Hollywood stars are in Toronto for TIFF or extended movie shoots.
But the shift of Toronto's epicenter to Bell Lightbox and King Street after it launches on Sept. 12 is inevitable, Handling added: "No one likes a festival that's spread out and everyone wants to be able to run into one another really quickly."

Over the first days at the Summer Institute, I've been thinking about the differences between teaching Language Arts and History, specifically how teaching those different subjects has affected how I teach. In some ways I felt more freedom as a Language Arts teacher, because I felt like I wasn't really sure what I was doing anyway, so I might as well experiment.
Even though our school doesn't put a strong emphasis on content memorization and we're not beholden to any state or federal testing, I think I feel a stronger impulse to content delivery in history. I also get the sense that students have come to expect that, especially by eighth grade. I'm also aware that is, for the most part, what is emphasized in the Upper School, and so I don't want to leave them totally without the skills to learn from that style of teaching.
On Friday as we created the maps of the way that writing circulates in our classrooms, I realized that I felt pretty good about the opportunities I was creating for circulation in some classes, but not others. Because of the nature of my blended learning class (students meet two days a week in person and on other days research independently and write online), I think that writing circulates more widely and naturally. I've also built more opportunities for students to make personal connections in their writing to the topics that we study in that class.
Throughout the Institute, I want to continue thinking about how I can hone the ways in which I ask my students to write in my middle school history classes, beyond taking notes or writing essays. When I reflect on it, students do have some good opportunities for non-analytical writing, but I think there's room to create additional opportunities and to vary instructional methods by using writing.
