SOUTH ELGIN, Ill. (CBS) – Dogs not only eat your homework – they can also start fires.
That's what South Elgin firefighters learned Monday after a blaze caused $100,000 in damage to a Kane Street home.
Investigators determined the blaze had started in the kitchen, where a burner on the stove had been turned on. When the owner arrived, he had an explanation.
One of the owner's dogs "was notorious for jumping up on the stove and turning on the burners," Fire Department Lt. Todd Erickson tells CBS 2.
The pooch's target Monday had been a pizza box on the stove.
"The dog had jumped up, turned on the stove, lit the box and proceeded to start the cabinets on fire," Erickson says.
The dog and another pet were fine. The Red Cross was on the scene to help family members, who declined to talk with CBS 2.
To avoid similar fires, Erickson recommends oven knob protectors.

Remember how Apple is booting Google Maps in iOS 6 in favour of its own maps app? And remember how Google Maps is still way better? Well a Google exec just dropped a major hint that it won't be leaving iOS users high and dry. Probably.
Yesterday Jeff Huber, Google's Senior Vice President of Commerce & Local, was on Google+, patting the backs of the Google Street View team for their exhibit at the Computer History Museum. An iOS-using commenter said he was hoping Google Maps would still be available on iOS. To that, Mr. Huber responded, "We look forward to providing amazing Google Maps experiences on iOS."
Naturally, everyone wants to know what the hell he meant by that. Would Google make their Maps app available for download in the App Store? Or would this just be some kind of HTML5 solution that would be accessible by mobile browser (shudder)? Huber hasn't said anything more, but we've reached out for comment and will update if we hear anything. At any rate, a glimmer of hope for Google Maps-loving iOS users. [9to5 Mac]

Fishing and Gardening
Meet the Falkons![edit]
Sunset Valley isn't the only city in my Sims 3 universe. Ladies and gentlemen… meet the Falkons!
New Pyroville is operational. It was a terrible tragedy for the Falkons, being usurped from their legendary home and being flung half a Sim world away. They're strangers in this bizarre world of teleporting cars and kleptomaniacs, among other Sims who actually can think for themselves unlike their friends of old! At least they had the foresight to rename the town after themselves, despite the fact that historians still call it "Riverview" for some reason.
The thing is, the Falkons have had it with working "real" jobs. This new Sims universe offers them many opportunities to make money and survive without delving into the world of—ugh—carpools. Sure, there aren't any "official" promotions. And worse still, money is always hard to come by at the beginning. But gosh darn it, Pyro and Pete are the FALKONS! If anyone can make money doing odd jobs and exploiting their neighbors, it's these guys!
Speaking of Pete… he started out life many years ago as nothing more than a joke, and has wound up being an integral member of the Falkon family name. Pretty much the polar opposite of Pyro, he loves the outdoors and enjoys being social. For an explorer such as he, two of the best options available from the start are fishing and gardening.
Fishing is a very easy skill to get underway. Pete already has a fishing pole on his person, which he pulls out of thin air whenever it's time to get snag some scaly swimmers. There are many places to fish around the city, although they're divided into four major categories: freshwater (i.e., lakes and ponds), saltwater (i.e., rivers and the ocean), the graveyard, and the science facility. Those last two are special places and are basically unavailable to him for the moment, but that will change soon.
At first, you have three options to get started with the fishing career: either you can take a class, just go fish, or watch TV about it. Because money is tight, the first one is out, though it probably the best option if you have the cash to burn. The Falkons' crappy starting TV doesn't get the Fishing Channel. Given the options, Pete hops in the car, drives over to Lost Willow Park.
Fishing automatically gains as long as Pete is in the act of fishing, but it's slow. He gets bursts of experience gain when he catches something, but he's Fishing level 0 at the moment, so the chance of him catching anything is about the same as Electronic Arts deciding against any Sims 3 expansion packs. Problem is, there's not really that many more options; unlike most of the other skills, there is no book to give Sims that quick initial burst.
In short order, Pete hits Fishing level 1. He hasn't caught anything yet, but achieving just that first level gives him two additional interactions at any place he can fish: he can Inspect For Fish at the water, or Choose Bait. The former is fairly self-explanatory, though Pete will only be able to detect fish he actually has a chance of catching. Choosing Bait allows Pete to pick something from his backpack to hopefully attract a specific fish, and increase his chance of actually catching it.
Pete doesn't know what bait is used to catch which fish, so he has to head down to the bookstore and buy some fishing books. Each book teaches him about a particular fish or two, telling him what their preferred bait is and where they are located. This information, once learned, is permanently etched in Pete's Skill Journal. These books unfortunately do not increase the Fishing skill, but of course more intelligence against the prey will lead to its own reward.
Okay, let's take a look at the Skill Journal for a moment. Pressing the J key, we see Pete's sole skill, and we scroll down. Pete has read two books, and now knows the preferred habitat and bait of four breeds of fish. The bait seems rather arbitrary (alley catfish like cheese?), but they are consistent! Note that the better type of bait Pete uses, the better the fish Pete will catch. So, if he uses a perfect-quality wedge of cheese, he has a good chance of getting a perfect-quality alley catfish, although any bait will increase the chance of catching any fish.
The books can only be read when Pete hits a certain level of fishing. So, for now, he definitely won't be learning all scaly secrets. Still, time passes, his Fishing skill goes up, and eventually learns the locations and preferred bait of all fish… including using other fish as bait!
Many of the ingredients used to bait fish are available from the grocery store, but of course they're only normal quality. To get better-quality ingredients—to catch better-quality fish—Pete will have to grow his own. He heads to the library and reads the level 1 gardening book, which not only instills basic knowledge in him, but it also magically gives him some seeds!
He heads home makes a small area for a garden. Note that Pete can actually plant his new seeds anywhere, and the sprouts can be moved around in Buy Mode in case you made a mistake. Planting them on the dirt as Pete has done here is not necessary, strictly speaking, but it gives a nice little visual effect.
Note that he has bought a sprinkler, positioned perfectly in the middle of the 5x5 garden plot. The sprinkler can be turned on at will, and if Pete had some Handiness skill, he could actually set it to turn on automatically every morning. The sprinkler is a nice, cheap way to save him some time.
Gardening is much more interactive than fishing: Pete doesn't merely stand in the middle of the dirt patch. Well, I suppose he can, but he won't get quality produce that way. I can issue the command Tend Garden, which will make Pete weed and water everything that needs it, as well as harvest any ripe crops. This, at least, is a hands-off way of keeping the garden in check.
To maximize productivity, however, Pete will want to fertilize the crops. This is sorta like using bait for your fishing exploits, but unlike bait, you don't need a particular kind: the only thing that matters is the quality of whatever you're using. For example, Pete can fertilize his new grapevine with his fish. If he uses a normal goldfish, it has the same effect as if he used a normal robot fish, or a normal alley catfish. But all of those would be trumped by an outstanding red herring, no matter what he was fertilizing. The only exception is the death fish: fertilizing anything with the death fish will kill it!
The produce can be sold to the grocery store, or simply sold in Buy Mode. Selling it to the grocery store does have one advantage: after enough sales, the grocery store will start selling all of its products with equivalent quality. For example, if Pete gets so good that he sells nothing but outstanding-quality produce, then the grocery store will start selling outstanding-quality food too!
A more immediate use for Pete's crops is his own kitchen. High-quality ingredients lead to high-quality meals, although that's tempered by his Cooking skill, of course: he'll still burn down the stove if he's got no Cooking skill. Better ingredients just make a good meal better.
Gardening is exponential in that way, in fact: fertilizing leads to better crops, which can be used for better fertilizer, which can be used for even better crops, etc. etc. All of Pete's gardening work will lead to higher and higher Gardening skill gains, which also raise the base value of the produce—"value" defined as the money the crop is worth, as well as its quality rating. For even more money, Pete can use that high-quality produce as bait for his fishing expeditions!
Back to gardening proper… Produce is a decent money-maker in addition to the aforementioned benefits, but the true strength of the skill appears once Pete hits level 6. At that point, he can start looking for special, rare seeds for secret plants. This includes the Money Tree, which grows cash if well cared for (and high-value bills if not!); the Life Fruit plant, which makes the consumer of the fruit younger; and the Death Blossom, which gives you fruit that are essentially "Get out of death free" cards.
The seeds for these plants are a little tough to spot. They're always lying on the ground, and the most valuable seeds are lying farthest from the center of the map. If you have the Collection Helper superpower, things get a lot easier.
Without the Collection Helper, you'll need to keep your eyes peeled, although seeds tend to gravitate toward certain lots. For example, the seed for the Death Blossom tends to be seen around the graveyard.
All seeds start off being "unknown," but once Pete plants one successfully, the seed will always be identified whenever he sees it out in the world. Pete can spot and collect these seeds anytime, but only when his Gardening hits a decent level can he successfully plant it.

|John Covey Howard and one of his wives (see end of post for explanation)
John Covey Howard lived for most of the 19th century. He was born on March 6, 1806 in Knox County, Kentucky and died 93 years later on November 20, 1899 in Harlan County. He was the son of John "War Jack" Howard and Mary Risner. Jack and Mary were listed in the Knox County census for 1810 and in Harlan County for 1820. Since Harlan County was created from part of Knox County in 1819, the family likely didn't actually move but simply lived in the area of Knox that became Harlan.
John Covey was married three times, divorced twice and had (at least) 20 children. According to my grandmother he was a farmer and distiller. (Yes, I believe that means he was a moonshiner.) Oddly, she also said he was the Sheriff of Harlan County in 1867 and he may have been a Justice of the Peace as well (based on at least one Harlan County marriage record showing Justice of the Peace John C. Howard performed the ceremony). Over the years, John Covey owned a good deal of land in Harlan County, much of it at Wallins Creek.
About 1828, John Covey married Matilda Brock, daughter of James Brock and Elizabeth Osborn. There was apparently a close connection between the Howard and Brock families as John Covey's siblings Larkin and Elizabeth married Matilda's siblings Elizabeth and James Jr.
John Covey and Matilda had 11 children together before she vanished sometime around 1850. Several stories have been told to explain Matilda's disappearance but the one apparently told by John Covey was that she ran off with a pack peddler and was never heard from again. (At least that's the story my grandmother heard from her mother-in-law, Lucinda Howard Hopkins, who was the daughter of John Covey and his 3rd wife.) Another story is that Matilda went to the spring to draw water, never returned and must have been killed. Many of Matilda's descendants have insisted that she would not have abandoned her children especially since several of them were still very young at the time. In the 1850 census, nine of her children were still at home with their father and ranged in age from 18 to 3 years. Regardless of what happened, John Covey obtained a divorce from Matilda claiming she no longer lived in the area.
Between 1852-1853, John Covey married Sarah "Sallie" Saylor. Not much is known about Sallie except that they had two children and she probably married Aaron Brock after her divorce from John Covey. She was living with Brock in 1860 in Harlan County along with her two children with John Covey. She may have died before 1870 as she is not found in that census and the children were living with John Covey.
On March 10, 1856, John Covey married Mary F. "Polly" Morris in Harlan County. John Covey was 50 years old by this time and, after two divorces, this marriage lasted for 43 years (until his death in 1899). Polly was the daughter of Littleton Morris and Martha "Patsy" Mark. She and John Covey had seven children and Polly also had a daughter prior to their marriage with Enoch Ball. (It is unclear if she and Enoch were married but most likely they were not.)
It's possible that John Covey had at least one other child. His daughter, Lucinda, told that he had two daughters named Elizabeth and implied that one of them was illegitimate. One of his daughters with Matilda was named Elizabeth but the second one has not been identified.
For more about John Covey Howard and his family, click on the link at the beginning of this post.
The picture above is John Covey and one of his wives. The original portrait is owned by a descendant of John Covey and Matilda (sorry I don't know her name) who allowed Pat Hopkins Howard to photograph it several years ago. Pat shared her photo with me. The owner believes the woman is Matilda but since she and John Covey would have been in their early 40's when she disappeared it's at least questionable that it is her. If it is not Matilda then it is probably his 3rd wife, Polly.
John Covey Howard was my 2nd great-grandfather, his daughter, Lucinda, was my great-grandmother and his grandson, Elmer Dennis Hopkins was my maternal grandfather.

Joslin Diabetes Center and Sunstar Inc. Announce Education Initiative
Program to Teach Clinicians, Patients about Link Between Diabetes and Oral Health, Nutrition
Joslin Diabetes Center and Sunstar Inc., a Japanese maker of oral health and nutritional products, have teamed up to launch an initiative aimed at educating dentists and physicians about the link between diabetes and gum disease and other oral health issues, as well as the significance of nutrition to each.
"Traditionally, there has been little dialogue between the two disciplines," said George L. King, M.D., Director of Research and Senior Vice President at Joslin Diabetes Center. "But when it comes to a person with diabetes, it is all one body. It is likely that inflammation in the oral cavity, particularly the gums, can adversely impact blood glucose and exacerbate diabetes."
At the same time, he noted, "It is also known that poor diabetes control can cause many complications, including increased risk for gum disease and loss of teeth.''
"Sunstar is pleased to work with Joslin on this important program that will help educate clinicians and patients about the strong link between oral health and diabetes," said Taketoshi Makino, R&D Fellow at Sunstar. "This is a perfect collaboration since Joslin is the largest diabetes research center, diabetes clinic and provider of diabetes education, and Sunstar is a leading manufacturer of oral care products."
In addition to providing diabetes and oral health-related seminars for Sunstar Group personnel, Joslin and Sunstar will also jointly create guidebooks for both medical and dental clinicians and for patients to help educate them about the links between diabetes and oral health and the role nutrition plays. All materials will be created in both English and Japanese.
"These will be developed as educational aids by practicing clinicians in the medical and dental fields to help each discipline know more about the other," said William C. Hsu, M.D., Director of the Asian Clinic at Joslin Diabetes Center and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, who will serve as Director of the Joslin-Sunstar Diabetes Education Initiative (JSDEI).
The materials will teach physicians about screening for gum disease, for example, while dentists will be taught about the difficulties of treating gum complications in patients with diabetes, he said.
"The aim is to facilitate understanding and collaboration for the care of the patient," he added.
In addition, Sunstar will provide Joslin with an educational grant to support continuing medical education in the area of diabetes and oral health to be held in three U.S cities and three cities in Japan.
"I am enthusiastic about this initiative," King said. "We are at a new frontier of clinical care, which will bring about better health outcomes for patients. This will forge new areas for investigation and hopefully elevate the standard of clinical care."

Just like last year, we're showcasing the people, ideas and memes that made Deadspin 2009 shine. Today: Bill Simmons.
Bill wrote a very large book about porn that contained an astonishing number of references to basketball.
The book found itself atop the bestseller list. It was such a phenomenon that, all across the country, people stood in long lines so that Bill might autograph their copy and pose for photos. Here's one, captured at the precise moment the author had a stroke.
Then everyone went home and Googled the Sports Fella's wife.
Yup, these are his readers.
This site's former editor wrote Bill Simmons's name all over his Trapper Keeper, but others were less enamored. Namely, the great Charles P. Pierce, some radio fathead in Oklahoma, some radio fathead in New York, and the dude who played the lead in TV's Brooklyn Bridge.
This was the year Simmons became more of a franchise than a mere columnist. Miller Lite sponsored a portion of his column, and he produced an impressive series of sports documentaries to commemorate ESPN's 30th birthday. He also pouted, fantasized about life after ESPN, and generally made a nuisance of himself to his bosses.
Specifically, as Adam Carolla put it, his "retard chicken pussy bosses."
Simmons campaigned for the Minnesota Timberwolves' GM job, a pursuit over which his buddy Malcolm Gladwell would later do some thin-slicing. The Timberwolves shrugged and hired a former sportswriter instead.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Kenny Guiton took over for an injured Braxton Miller and led Ohio State to a tying touchdown and two-point conversion with only three seconds to play in regulation before Carlos Hyde scored in overtime, as the seventh-ranked Buckeyes remained unbeaten with a 29-22 victory over Purdue.
Ohio State played the entire fourth quarter without Miller, who was hurt while being dragged down at the end of a 37-yard run in the final minute of the third. He was eventually taken to a local hospital.
The Columbus Dispatch, citing an Ohio State spokesman, reported Miller was released from the hospital later Saturday and deemed "system free" of any injury.
Guiton could not muster any offense for the Buckeyes until the final minute. A penalty in the end zone gave Purdue a safety and an eight-point lead before an interception allowed the Boilermakers a chance to run out the final 2:40 and exit Ohio Stadium with a victory for the first time since 1988.
They left 47 seconds on the clock and the Buckeyes took advantage.
Guiton drove Ohio State 61 yards in seven plays, aided by a pass interference penalty in the end zone on a third-down incompletion, and capped the set with a 2-yard TD pass to Chris Fields. After the play was upheld by video review, Guiton found tight end Jeff Heuerman for the tying two-point conversion.
Ohio State took possession first to start the overtime and a 17-yard pass from Guiton to Jake Stoneburner set up Hyde's 1-yard touchdown run. The Boilermakers could not answer, as Caleb TerBush's fourth-down pass into the end zone fell harmlessly incomplete.
"That was a great, great win. Great team win," Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said. "Some of the efforts I saw tonight were legendary."
TerBush finished 19-of-30 for 230 yards with a pair of touchdowns and an interception for the Boilermakers (3-4, 0-3 Big Ten), who scored touchdowns on passes of 83 and 31 yards along with a 100-yard kickoff return. A blocked extra point after the first touchdown eventually loomed large.
Purdue was trying for consecutive wins against Ohio State for the first time since 1960 and '67 after pulling out a 26-23 overtime win last year in West Lafayette.
"I'm proud of our players. They came out fired up with the will to win and didn't let up all game. We just didn't get the result we wanted on the scoreboard," Purdue head coach Danny Hope said.
Guiton completed 6-of-11 passes for 77 yards after Miller had struggled against a Purdue defense that entered the contest ranked next-to-last in the Big Ten in yards allowed. Miller was just 9-of-20 for 113 yards with an interception and ran for 47 yards with a score on 12 carries.
Hyde finished with 91 yards on 19 carries for Ohio State (8-0, 4-0), which is unbeaten after eight games for the first time since the 2007 squad won its first 10.
Ohio State trailed 13-7 at the break and went ahead on its second possession of the third quarter when Hyde capped an 80-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run.
Purdue answered immediately and went back on top when Gary Bush caught a bubble screen and took it 31 yards into the end zone. The Boilermakers then recovered a Miller fumble at the Ohio State 37 just two plays after the ensuing kickoff, but could not convert when Paul Griggs had a 34-yard field goal attempt blocked.
Miller was injured on the very next play when his long run got the Buckeyes across midfield. He remained on the ground for a time before being helped off the field. After a few minutes on the bench, Miller was slowly moved to a cart and taken into the locker room before being eventually taken by ambulance to the medical center on campus.
Drew Basil, on the same series that featured Miller's run, had a 50-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright in the first minute of the fourth quarter to keep the difference six points.
Ohio State's next possession started at its own one after a punt and the Boilermakers were awarded a safety for a 22-14 lead because of an illegal block in the end zone. Guiton was then intercepted to end the next Buckeyes series, giving the Boilermakers their unsuccessful chance to run out the clock.
Purdue struck quickly with an 83-yard touchdown on its first offensive play when fullback Akeem Shavers swung out of the backfield and easily beat Ohio State linebacker Storm Klein in coverage before taking in TerBush's pass and outsprinting the secondary to the end zone for a 6-0 lead after a blocked PAT.
Ohio State marched into Purdue territory with its opening possession, but Miller and Hyde botched a handoff and the Boilermakers recovered the fumble. The Buckeyes, though, quickly halted the Purdue momentum with a three-and-out and finally answered with a 10-play scoring drive later in the first.
Hyde kept it alive with a 20-yard run on 4th-and-1 from near midfield and Miller converted 3rd-and-10 soon after with a 17-yard pass to Corey Brown before finishing the 67-yard series with an 8-yard scoring run. The extra point provided Ohio State with a one-point edge, but it didn't last long.
Akeem Hunt took the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown for a 13-7 lead after the made extra point.
Purdue's defense quickly forced a punt and the Boilermakers followed with a drive of more than 10 minutes. The 19-play dirge finished without a score when a tipped TerBush pass was intercepted by C.J. Barnett in the end zone.

Injuries force Marlins' rotation to set dubious mark
CINCINNATI -- Not only was Brad Penny pitching for the Marlins for the first time in 10 years on Saturday night, the 36-year-old also was part of team history.
Penny became the 13th different starter the Marlins have used this season, getting the call at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
It's not exactly an enviable statistic, but it is a franchise record. The 2013 and '02 teams each used 12.
Keeping the rotation intact has been a challenge, especially after Jose Fernandez was lost for the season in May with a torn elbow ligament. All-Star Henderson Alvarez (right shoulder inflammation) also is on the disabled list.
"Definitely, the Jose factor right out of the chute, and then trying to find somebody to replace that spot, it's been tough," manager Mike Redmond said. "We've had trouble getting somebody to eat those innings. We tried quite a number of younger guys. We tried a lot of different things trying to find those innings. It's been tough. I know that's a big number."
Alvarez is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Sunday. If that goes well, he likely will come off the disabled list on Thursday for the series opener with the D-backs.
"It has been a challenge," Redmond said. "We've been looking for somebody to step up and eat those innings for the rest of the year."

Annapolis police are investigating the early Friday morning shooting of a 23-year-old man while he was running from a dispute, police said.
Police said that it is possible that Dejuan Jacarter Hill of Annapolis was the victim of a stray bullet. He was in the 900 block of President Street and told them he was with a group of people nearby in the 1100 block of Madison Street when another man approached them and started talking with someone in the group. The conversation "escalated," according to a police spokesman, and both of those people reached into their pockets, leading others in the group to scatter. While Hill was running, he heard a gunshot and his right arm hurt, police said.
Hill was taken to the Anne Arundel Medical Center for treatment, police said. Police said the shooter also ran from the scene. Police said they are a seeking a man who is about 5 feet 10 inches tall, has short corn rows and was wearing khaki cargo shorts and a white tank top. Anyone with information is asked to call the police at 410-268-9000, or 410-268-4141, or leave an anonymous tip at 410-280-2583 (CLUE).

At least one reporter wondered if Williams' friendliness with a large group of unfamiliar reporters hinted at his willingness to sign Matsui, who claims, according to Japanese reporters, that his left knee has been checked out and is healthy enough to play the outfield as well as DH, and the team's fiscal desire to appeal to the Japanese market, where Matsui is beloved.
"It would be lots and lots of money," said Naoko Sato, a Chicago-based reporter for Nikkan Sports News. "Mucho dinero."
What she's referring to are the marketing and advertising opportunities available when your games are broadcast in Japan. Matsui is one of the most popular players in Japan and his games get major air time. If "Godzilla" signed with the White Sox, the marketing opportunities would pay for a good portion of his annual contract.
Given that the White Sox were worried last season about the upcoming cessation of several big advertising deals, expanding the Sox's reach to Japan would seem like a no-brainer.
December 10, 2009
Sox interested in expanding their reach to the Japanese market?

Jazz Standards Lead Sheets
This is a group for creating MuseScore lead sheets of jazz standards. If you have created a lead sheet of a jazz standard, leave a comment with a link to your score in the List of available jazz standards discussion thread to you have your score included in the collection.
If you don't know what a lead sheet is, see the definition below under "What is a Lead Sheet?". Likewise, if you don't know what a jazz standard is, see the definition below under "What Is a Jazz Standard?".
Feel free to report mistakes in any of the scores featured in this group.
What is NOT Included in This Group's Collection
For scores that are not lead sheets of jazz standards (e.g., solo guitar arrangements, transcribed instrumental solos, original jazz compositions, educational or music theory scores, etc.), see below for recommended MuseScore groups that might be the right place for your score. If you don't find a group that matches your score, you can create a group yourself.
Other Jazz-related MuseScore.com Groups
Jazz Lead Sheets (Originals) - Lead sheets for your original jazz compositions.
Leadsheets - Leadsheets of all musical genres.
Jazz Group - A group for jazz composers and/or arrangers who want to share original compositions and arrangements.
The Jazz Group for Jazzy People who write Jazz music! - Similar to the preceding, this is a group for jazz composers and/or arrangers who want to share original compositions and arrangements.
Jazz Solo Transcriptions - A project for documenting jazz solos via transcription.
What Is a Lead Sheet?
Most musicians would define a lead sheet as follows: a simple music score showing only the originally composed melody line of a song / composition, and chord symbols representing the chord changes of a song / composition. In the case of popular songs played in the jazz community, a lead sheet often includes the words to the song. If you've ever used a fakebook like 'The Real Book' or 'The Ultimate Jazz Fake Book', you've seen a lead sheet.
Some lead sheets may include introductory instrumental sections. For popular songs, introductory verses are sometimes included. Occasionally, a lead sheet includes a suggested bass line or a suggested chord voicing, when they are an integral part of the song or composition. For example, the lead sheets for Miles Davis' "All Blues" and "So What" in the Real Book vol. 1 feature bass lines and/or piano chord voicings considered essential to playing the composed sections of those tunes (assuming that you want to reproduce the general arrangement and feel of the original recording).
Lead sheets are primarily intended to help musicians play a song in live performance, or to learn the melody and chords of a song during a practice section.
The following are usually NOT considered lead sheets:
* A full arrangement with multiple instrumental parts
* A piano (or guitar, etc.) score with chord voicings throughout the score
* A transcription of a recorded performance including instrumental solos
What Is a Jazz Standard?
Generally speaking, jazz standards are either popular songs written between about 1910 and 1960 that have been performed by jazz musicians and singers over many years, OR instrumental tunes by jazz composers like Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, and Wayne Shorter that have been widely performed and recorded by jazz musicians and singers of mid-20th century popular music.
As with any artistic category, sometimes the boundary lines are a little hard to draw. For example, certain 19th-century ragtime pieces, Brazilian bossa novas, folks songs, and even adaptations of classical music have become jazz standards. The important distinguishing factor for a jazz standard is that it is a piece of music that many professional and amateur jazz musicians have recorded and played live as jazz music.
Newer Compositions
If you have a particular interest in "newer" jazz compositions (those from about 1970 to the present), or pop music from the rock / R&B + soul / hip-hop eras arranged for jazz performance, please let us know, and then make some lead sheets. We'll try to find a good home for your work on MuseScore.com.

"The Legion" is the second book by Simon Scarrow I have read although it is the tenth in Scarrow's "Under the Eagle" series. I admit I have not read its immediate predecessor "Gladiator" but I had no problem picking up the story line with the background information provided.
The other Scarrow book I read was Centurion and in it, Cato and Macro were both Centurions. From reading other reviews, I gather that in previous novels, Macro has been the experienced teacher and Cato the young up-and-coming protégé. In this book the relationship has changed significantly and Cato now holds the superior rank of prefect.
The two heroes are in pursuit of a nasty former gladiator named Ajax who led a slave revolt on Crete following an earthquake and tsunami.
Historically, there have been only three major Roman slave revolts documented by ancient historians - two on the island of Sicily and the famous revolt led on the Italian mainland by a Thracian slave turned gladiator named Spartacus. Scarrow may have used these revolts to inform his fictional narrative of a similar revolt on Crete. Appian mentions a conflict on Crete at about the same time as the Spartacan revolt (a century before the reign of Claudius which is the time frame Scarrow uses for his "Under the Eagle" series) but I could not find anything definitive pointing to a slave uprising on Crete at the time or in a later period.
Scarrow may have pulled his villain from the first Sicilian revolt, though, that occurred on the island of Sicily from 136 - 132 BCE. It was led by a Syrian slave named Eunus, whose reputation included an aptitude for magic and foretelling the future. Diodorus Siculus tells us:
"...he not only gave oracles by means of dreams, but even made a pretence of having waking visions of the gods and of hearing the future from their own lips.
Of his many improvisations some by chance turned out true, and since those which failed to do so were left unchallenged, while those that were fulfilled attracted attention, his reputation advanced apace. Finally, through some device, while in a state of divine possession, he would produce fire and flame from his mouth, and thus rave oracularly about things to come.
For he would place fire, and fuel to maintain it, in a nut -- or something similar -- that was pierced on both sides; then, placing it in his mouth and blowing on it, he kindled now sparks, and now a flame. Prior to the revolt he used to say that the Syrian goddess appeared to him, saying that he should be king, and he repeated this, not only to others, but even to his own master." - Diodorus Siculus, Library, Books 34/35. 2. 1-48
Apparently, Eunus, also called Antiochus, was not taken seriously at first and was used as entertainment at dinner parties. But his ruthlessness was soon revealed when he was asked to lead 400 slaves against the city of Enna where his men "found their way into the houses shedding much blood, sparing not even suckling babes."
As Eunus' victories over the Romans grew more numerous, thousands of slaves flocked to his banner, much like Spartacus. Eunus was eventually crowned king by the rebels and among those appointed to his royal council was an Achaean (Greek) who was known for his intelligence and military acumen. Perhaps it was this Achaen that provided the model for Scarrow's rebel leader, Ajax.
|Roman War Galleys were frequent subjects of Pompeii frescoes 1st century CE.

However, in Scarrow's novel, Ajax and his men, instead of meeting their end on the island as Eunus and Achaeus' men did, have hijacked a Roman ship and are sailing around the Mediterranean wreaking havoc, slaughtering most of the people they encounter and leaving only lone survivors here and there that have been so badly tortured they usually expire shortly after telling their rescuers that they were slaughtered by a Roman named Macro. Of course this infuriates Macro and raises the stakes as it becomes apparent Ajax is heading for Egypt.
Arriving in Alexandria, Cato and Macro are hauled off to prison and must convince the governor of Ajax's ruse before the governor crucifies Macro. Fortunately for Macro, one tortured survivor, an Egyptian priest, convinces the governor that Macro was not the man who butchered his fellow priests. So the governor releases Cato and Macro and they set off in pursuit of Ajax once again with the recovered priest as guide.
But Ajax continues to elude them, slipping through one trap after the next, until the governor interrupts their chase and orders the pair to the Egyptian frontier to help fend off an invading Nubian army. When Macro and Cato arrive, the governor's commander is acting strangely and our two heroes discover Ajax has joined the Nubians. Now they must find a way to defeat the Nubians to end Ajax's reign of terror.
Scarrow has crafted a well-paced plot but like "Centurion", I found the characterizations of Cato and Macro quite thin. I thought carefully about what was missing in the narrative that made the protagonists seem so flat and I realized Scarrow never gives us any insight into their thoughts. He relates their actions but it's like viewing their activities through binoculars without any insight to what they are thinking.
I thought back on Harry Sidebottom's novels and his protagonist, the Anglo-Saxon born Roman officer, Ballista. We hear Ballista praying to his "All Father, Death Bringer". We experience the horror of one of his nightmarish visions of the Emperor Maximinus Thrax who always promises to see Ballista again at Aqualeia where Ballista originally broke his oath and assassinated the brutish emperor. Dr. Sidebottom describes each character's body language, the complex emotions reflected on their faces and the way members of Ballista's familia banter with each other, filled with recollections of past battles, mistakes and triumphs as well as an understanding of each others fears.
The only indication of the depth of friendship between Cato and Macro in "The Legion" occurs when Macro touches the shoulder of his friend with concern when Cato has been wounded after a skirmish with Ajax. I was actually appalled by a scene where an individual who has fought beside Cato and Macro is suspected of being an "embedded" spy and Cato and Macro coldly decide to crucify him in the morning without even listening to his side of the story. Talk about cold and unfeeling!
I also did not feel immersed in the culture or geography of Egypt, the novel's setting, either. Cato and Macro could have been in any desert. I felt no sense of being there like I have when reading Sidebottom's books or those by Conn Iggulden (I just finished "Conqueror", a retelling of the ascension of Kublai Khan to the throne of the Mongol Empire). I know both Sidebottom and Iggulden have traveled extensively to the locations described in their books and the realism they impart when describing the settings is palpable. Sidebottom also has a doctorate in ancient history from Oxford that is reflected in the depth of information he provides about each of Ballista's surroundings and opponents as he battles his way across the Near East of the third century. What little information Scarrow gives about the Nubians, Cato and Macro's final opponents is sparse at best.

I checked out Scarrow's website and he shares it with his brother Alex. I see Alex has a time travel series with the latest installment being "TimeRiders: The Gates of Rome". I love time travel stories so I'll have to check it out. It will be interesting to see if the two brothers differ in their writing styles.

Western Union Demo Billboards
Western Union's claim to be the fastest in money transfer was promoted in "demo billboards" in Mumbai, India, featuring the faces of currency. Western Union's outlets in India are shared with five other money transfer services, most of which are cheaper. Billboards, placed on roads close to the outlet, changed their images as drivers drove past, reminding them that Western Union's services changed currency instantly. Mao Zedong (Chinese Yuan) became Queen Elizabeth II (British pound). Abraham Lincoln (US $5) became King Fahd (Saudi Riyal). Benjamin Franklin (US $100) became Mahatma Gandhi (Indian rupee). The Western Union Demo Billboard campaign won a Gold Outdoor Lion at 2012 Cannes International Festival of Creativity.

There now exists abundant evidence that pervasive changes are underway in the patterns of seasonality in the Arctic. Shifts in the timing, length, and pattern of individual seasonal events are occurring throughout the arctic system, including physical events (e.g., ocean and atmospheric circulation and fluxes, precipitation, sudden thaws, presence of ice and snow), biological events (e.g., plant phenology, animal life history events) and human activities (e.g., resource use, industrial activities).
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Arctic System Science Program (ARCSS) released an announcement of opportunity for Changing Seasonality in the Arctic System (CSAS; See Witness the Arctic, Volume 13, Number 3) in June 2008. The solicitation for research focused on interdisciplinary work, including field studies, retrospective investigation, modeling, or synthesis to explore the changing arctic system.
NSF ARCSS received 71 individual proposals in response to the solicitation, representing approximately $30 million in requested funding—40 awards totaling $14.3 million were made. More than 85% of the funding was provided through funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The ARCSS Program funded 17 projects; two additional relevant projects were funded through other programs in the NSF Arctic Sciences Division OPP-ARC and so are included on this website.
The following schematic diagram provided by Breck Bowden, University of Vermont, displays an overview of the funded projects, principal investigators, and subject foci:

NEW LONDON � A 30-year-old Norwich man who is free while awaiting trial on drug-selling charges is expected to be locked up Thursday after getting arrested twice more last month.
Eric Ortiz is scheduled to appear at a bail hearing Thursday in New London Superior Court. The hearing was postponed from Monday at the request of Ortiz�s lawyer, public defender Peter Scillieri.
The new bail amount will be set by Judge Hillary Strackbein. Ortiz can be released if he can raise enough money to pay it.
Assistant State�s Attorney Paul Narducci filed a motion Nov. 15 asking that Ortiz�s bail for a July 12 arrest be increased after Ortiz was arrested Nov. 14 on numerous drug charges.
Norwich police, assisted by the state police Statewide Narcotics Task Force, East Office, raided Ortiz�s apartment on Chestnut Street.
Police said they seized more than 24 grams of crack cocaine, 80 bags of heroin, more than 50 grams of marijuana and more than $2,200 in cash.
Ortiz faces charges of possession of crack cocaine, possession of crack cocaine with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school, possession of heroin, possession of heroin with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school, possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school and operating a drug factory.
Ortiz�s home is within 1,500 feet of St. Patrick School on Broadway.
Ortiz was freed after posting $50,000 bail.
Ortiz also was arrested Nov. 5 in New London and faces charges of two counts possession of narcotics and two counts sale of certain illegal drugs. Ortiz was freed after posting $10,000 bail in that case.
In the original July 12 arrest by Norwich police, Ortiz was freed on a $10,000 non-surety bond, meaning he didn�t have to put up any money in advance.
According to police, two officers were sent to Chestnut Street shortly after 9 a.m. for a report of a disturbance outside Ortiz�s home. They came upon Ortiz and his wife standing on the curb, police said. When Ortiz spotted the officers� car, he got in his car and fled, police said, running a flashing red light at Chestnut and Willow streets and leading the officers on a more than half-mile chase that ended on Broadway.
Police said they seized heroin and marijuana in Ortiz�s car and heroin, cocaine, marijuana and $875 in cash in his home. They also seized his car, a silver Acura.
He was charged with possession of heroin, possession of heroin with intent to sell, possession of cocaine, possession of cocaine with intent to sell, possession of more than 4 ounces of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia and disobeying the signal of an officer.

Gov. Perdue took some heat earlier this year when she pointed out that the General Assembly seemed to be bent on transforming North Carolina into Mississippi-on-the-Atlantic. As we've noted here and here however, she was actually on the money with her comments.
Today, there's new confirmation of just how desperately screwed up things are in the state that conservatives in the North Carolina frequently hold up as a model. This is from the folks at Think Progress (who also supplied the photo at left):
"The Department of Justice on Friday uncovered a so-called "School-to-Prison pipeline" in Mississippi, where teachers and principals are shipping off children into the criminal justice system for infractions as small as a dress code violation."

Patent trolling to go under anti-trust spotlight
Report says hearings set for December, with Nokia and Cisco to appear
America's Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission are to take a look at whether patent trolls are breaching US anti-trust laws.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting (paywalled) that the process will be kicked off by informal hearings in December. That report claims that Cisco and Nokia have confirmed they will attend the hearings.
Cisco's position on patent trolls became crystal clear in October, when the networking giant accused NPE Innovatio of "racketeering" for its strategy of suing WiFi users over patent infringement.
The hearings would promise to be more than a little tense, in that case, since Intellectual Ventures Management (founded by ex-Microsoftie Nathan Myhrvold) will be along to defend the
patent trolls' non-practising entities' (NPEs') position.
Earlier this year, IVM was identified as a true giant in the NPE world, ranking as perhaps the fifth-largest patent-holder in America. The Stanford University study, The Giant Among Us, described the escalation strategy it follows: offer targets a chance to settle with Intellectual Ventures Management, and if rebuffed, find yourself in the cross-hairs of a more litigious sub-licensee. ®

I shall articulate why Young Earth creationism is a bankrupt, incorrect, actively disproved notion that no one could defend except through willful adherence to an unyielding, inflexible dogma.
#1 Radioactive dating disproves Young Earth creationism.
Carbon-14 decays to Nitrogen-14; its half-life is 5730 years. Uranium-238 decays to Lead-206; its half-life is 4.5 billion years. Uranium-235 decays to Lead-207; its half-life is 704 million years. Other unstable isotopes include Potassium-40, Thorium-232, Rubidium-87 and Samarium-147. Several radioisotopes usually occur together, so the dates can be cross-checked, and the ages invariably agree. To put the lie to the Young Earth position, and demonstrate why the oft-repeated "uniformitarian assumptions" objection rings hollow, consider this: If a hunk of rock is radioactively dated at, say, 250 million years old, but in actuality it is only 6000 years old, per YEC, that would entail that the multiple radioisotopes present, all of which converge on an age of 250 million years, would have all had to change differently. Uranium-238 would have had to change differently from Uranium-235, and both would have had to change differently from Samarium-147. If several radioisotopes usually occur together, and they have different half-life values (those half-life values frequently crossing orders of magnitude), there is nothing in the cross-checking process that would require the separate calculations to converge on the same age. Yet, despite the fact it very well could be otherwise, it is not; the ages, across radioisotopes, invariably agree. The changing-decay-rate YEC hypothesis, barring a deceptive creator twist in which the creator wants to impart incorrect information, would be the equivalent of Rhology, Barack Obama, William Lane Craig and me all agreeing to meet at a particular diner "sometime in 2011" and, by sheer and utter coincidence, all four of us arriving at the diner on exactly the same day at precisely the same instant.Assumes uniformitarianism, w/o argument. In fact, it proudly proclaims that assumption, with only an argument from unsavory consequences (the Creator would thus be deceptive) and an argument from ignorance (we've never seen it act differently) as its support.
#2: Astronomic knowledge disproves Young Earth creationism.
Gaze up into the night sky. Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our Sun, is 4.3 light years away, meaning that light from it takes 4.3 years to reach us. Our galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years across, meaning that it can take tens of thousands of years for light from some stars in our galaxy to reach us. For stars that we can see in nearby galaxies, it can take millions of years. The farthest objects we can see are quasars, which are so distant that the light we see from them today left billions of years ago. If the universe were merely 6000-some years old, the light simply would not have had the requisite time to reach us. Although I have heard the "god created the stars as well as light beams" response, I recognize it as a frantic harmonization scheme in which the YEC proponent is confronted with a fact that is utterly contrary to what the bible would predict and, thus, the creationist must confect an unparsimonious, tortured "explanation" that bespeaks not so much understanding as slavish, willful, dogged adherence.
Begs the question, namely that God didn't create the stars and the light from those stars reaching between Earth and said stars.
JN says: I recognize it as a frantic harmonization scheme in which the YEC proponent is confronted
Hahaha, God made man and all the other stuff mature. How is it "frantic" to think God did the same with other things in the universe? And surely the JN doesn't want to say that harmonisation is a bad thing - we all do that, and he's doing it right here.
#3: Dendrochronology disproves Young Earth creationism.
An 11,500-year dendrochronological record, existing wholly independently from radiocarbon dating and that is to-the-year accurate, has been achieved through a daisy-chaining process having to do with characteristic tree-ring sequences in a particular geographic area. Utilizing those characteristic tree-ring sequences, scientists can daisy chain their way back thousands and thousands of years, thus disproving a young Earth. Furthermore, those to-the-year-accurate dendrochronological records can be, and indeed are, used to calibrate our radiocarbon dating, thereby allowing us to date many things of the relatively recent past (but considerably beyond 6000-some years).
Ignores the YEC position entirely, that God created organisms mature at creation.
Furthermore, those to-the-year-accurate dendrochronological records can be, and indeed are, used to calibrate our radiocarbon dating
One fallacious and question-begging assertion is bad enough, but the JN apparently thinks that stacking them atop each other is in reality a really good thing.
Why is it that, if these are the JN's 3 trump cards against YEC, that none of them even get out of the gate? Where are the hardcore, well-thought-out critiques?

When Amazon battles the publishing industry, do consumers win?
Amazon AMZN, -1.04% and book behemoth Hachette—along with some publishers' groups and writers--are at one another's throats, in a fight that's escalated just within the past week. Amazon, which accounts for about 60% of the digital-book market, wants to use its market power to get Hachette to lower e-book prices, while Hachette says that this is "punitive," hurts authors and bookstores, and doesn't take into account the costs--like royalties, marketing and expenses--that go into creating books.
Hachette also notes that 80% of its books are already selling online for $9.99 or less, which is the price at which Amazon hopes to sell many of its e-books.
For its part, Amazon has used its leverage against Hachette by delaying shipping and stopping preorders on some Hachette books. On Saturday--through its Readers United group—Amazon issued a statement to consumers telling them to write to Hachette's CEO to demand he end this ongoing battle, while also comparing the literary world's heel-dragging about e-books to their heel-dragging about paperbacks many decades ago (Amazon threw George Orwell in there, to boot). "This is a little bit of a bullying tactic," says Forrester Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru-Kodali.
So far, Hachette has not agreed to Amazon's price demands, and on Sunday, the Authors United group, which includes some Hachette authors who are angry about Amazon's treatment of books, ran an ad in the New York Times saying that Amazon should stop trying to harm the "livelihood of the authors on whom it has built its business."
"This is a fairly classic retailer-supplier battle--the retailer wants to sell for less and the supplier doesn't want it to," says Matthew Ong, the senior retail analyst for NerdWallet.com. But, he says, the difference here is that because it involves Amazon--one of the largest retailers in the world--it may have a significant impact on the future of digital publishing. And that, in turn, could affect readers like you and me.
While the inside details of the negotiations aren't fully known and it's impossible to tell how this will actually shake out, if Amazon gets its way in this Hachette battle, it may benefit consumers in the form of lower prices, says James Crompton, a retail analyst with industry analyst IBISWorld. Indeed, Amazon says it wants to lower some e-book prices from about $14.99 and $19.99 to around $9.99. "With an e-book, there's no printing, no overprinting, no need to forecast, no returns, no lost sales due to out of stock, no warehousing costs, no transportation costs, and there is no secondary market—e-books cannot be resold as used books," Amazon writes through its Readers United group. "E-books can and should be less expensive."
That sounds good for consumers. But Crompton notes that these kinds of lower prices would only mean savings of a few dollars per book, and because most people don't buy a ton of books every year, these price savings aren't likely to drastically improve many people's bottom lines. And Mulpuru-Kodali says that it's unlikely that consumers will see much cheaper prices on books even if Amazon does win this battle, as the company is already selling books at superlow prices. (The company as a whole posted a loss for its most recent quarter.)
While e-book prices may drop if Amazon wins, readers could be the losers in at least one way: They may have access to fewer new titles and fewer new authors. "Amazon has squeezed profit out of the market and is now trying to shift the loss to their suppliers," explains Mulpuru-Kodali. "In the long run, squeezed suppliers exit the market." With fewer publishers to produce books, consumers may end up with less selection, she explains. Ong adds that if publishers' margins are hurt by lower prices, they may be less willing to take risks on unproven authors, which could result in fewer authors getting deals. "It's mostly in the long-term that consumer could see the downside," says Ong.

I may need to travel to the Orlando, FLA area later this year for work and I'm interested in connecting with an agency that can provide someone for maybe an hour or so every morning just to help me get started. No Bowel program involved here. Just things like maybe helping me around the shower to make sure I don't fall and speeding things up so I can get dressed and quickly get on the road. I'm a C7 level injury.
I seem to recall someone in the forum mentioning an online agency that helps people travelling in situations like this, but I can't seem to find the discussion thread. Any clues to the thread would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Community Outreach
WGBY welcomes the opportunity to partner with community groups to take more in-depth looks at regional issues. WGBY brings a variety of media and outreach services to each subject, fostering local conversations and presenting engaging activities around national issues and broadcasts.
WGBY's current community projects include:
In a collaboration with Springfield Day Nursery and the Springfield Republican, WGBY presents Learn What You Can View, Read, Do!: a pilot program focusing on early childhood readiness for school entry. Throughout this partnership, WGBY will work with Springfield Day Nursery to deliver resources and training to Family Child Care Providers on how to incorporate engaging multi-faceted lessons into their child care settings. Each week, a new lesson will be available through the Parenting section of the Springfield Republican encouraging parents and providers to read more to their children, engage in hands-on activities, and co-view television.
Each year, WGBY participates in the Teletubbies National Day of Exercise. Last year, in partnership with CDI Head Start and Springfield Day Nursery, over 500 children got up and active in an exercise program geared to get children and educators up and moving in the classroom.
America at a Crossroads, a major public television event premiering in April of 2007, explored the challenges confronting the world post 9/11. In partnership with the national series, WGBY has taken the initiative to explore "New England after 9/11" as a multimedia outreach campaign. Look for local programming and community screenings to be scheduled soon!
In partnership with It's a Big Big World, WGBY has developed a new program entitled Discovery Days. This program delivers natural science learning to early childhood classrooms throughout the region. Each day of activities combines literacy activities, hands on events, and hand outs for parents and educators on effective use of quality television for learning. For more information about It's a Big Big World, visit their program website.
Some Things We've Done Already!
Through WGBY's Ocean Adventures Outreach Campaign, over 1,000 educators received access to ocean education lesson plans, classroom activities, and program DVDs geared towards promoting conservation and ecological awareness.
The Girl Scouts of Western Massachusetts also participating by using Ocean Education kits with their troops and at summer camps. Troops also sent girls to volunteer at the Source to Sea Connecticut River Cleanup.
SciGirls at Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary was a fabulous event geared towards getting girls involved in science. Hundreds of girls participating in hands-on activities through SciGirls troop kits throughout the year and 50 girls attended our SciGirls at Arcadia event in the Fall.

ForumsQuestionsAssigning and Sharing Tasks Amoung Pro Accounts
Assigning and Sharing Tasks Amoung Pro Accounts
I feel like I've been hit by an idiot stick...I have no idea how to delegate tasks and searching the help files and forums is turning up nothing, leading me to assume that it is obvious to everyone but me.
This is the setup:
Three team members and I all have Toodledo PRO accounts and have all added each other as collaborators.
I have shared one folder with all of them with Level Three sharing (can edit, assign, and read)
When I create a new task, however, the only option in the "Assigned To" or "Reassign" drop-down is "Myself"
Now, we can see the Shared Folder, but that just shows all tasks in that folder, all assigned to me by default and, as stated, I have no option but to assign a task to myself. Not very useful.
Why I click on the "Sharing" tab, I see tabs for each team member: "From Myself", "From jdoe", etc. But that is not helpful to me for two reasons. One, I don't want to know who the assignOR is, I want to view by assignEE. Two, I'm the one assigning all the tasks, so everything is under my tab anyway.
All I want is the ability to assign tasks to team members and the ability to view assigned tasks, sorted or foldered by assignee, so I can monitor their progress and load-balance my assignments.
I'm sure the problem is my not understanding how to configure and use the system. I would greatly appreciate if someone could explain how I can delegate and monitor delegated tasks.
Toodledo Founder
I'll be happy to try to explain this. Since you have given your team members permission to edit your list, they will be able to assign or reassign tasks to you.
If you want to assign or reassign tasks to them, then they will need to give you edit privileges to their account as well.
Hope that helps.
Oh, okay, I'll let them know. Thanks!
