Managing Online Forums - A New Book By Patrick O'Keefe

Categories: book, commmunity, CommunityManagement, friends, recommendation
Patrick and I go way back in web terms, but met for the first time this year at SXSW. We've always connected around managing online communities - something we were both doing back in 2000 or so. That was when Patrick was teenager. Since that time he's grown his iFroggy Network of community sites and gone through just about everything you can imagine in terms of managing discussion boards. Patrick recently put these experiences into a new book called Managing Online Forums - "everything... Continue Reading

Online Community Planning - Getting the Party Started
Posted by: leelefever on June 6, 2007- 5:00pm
Categories: community, CommunityManagement, event, Speaking, unconference
One of the mantras of the Online Community Unconference became "keeping the party rolling" - not because we partied all day in night, but because many attendees were already in the community business, but looking for ways to improve the experience and value on an ongoing basis. Indeed, the group was a mix of the very experienced and those just getting started. Speaking of a mix of people, my guess is that that there were about the same number of women as men at the conference and as tech... Continue Reading

In this Information Week article , Cory Doctorow, author and co-editor of Boing Boing takes a look at how to deal with trolls - people that are toxic to communities due to their aggressiveness and persistent poor behavior. True to form, Cory uses a geeky radiological metaphor to explain the tactics... Discussion groups are like uranium: a little pile gives off a nice, warm glow, but if the pile gets bigger, it hits critical mass and starts a deadly meltdown. There are only three ways to...

Should Florida ban texting while driving?by Opinion Staff
The Florida Legislature is consistently inconsistent when it comes to personal freedoms.
This year, the Legislature required all women seeking an abortion to have an ultrasound, even if the doctor determines that one isn't needed. To avoid the requirement, a woman basically has to present documentation that she was raped. This bill, supporters said, was for the woman's own good.
When it comes to the idea of banning texting while driving, however, House Speaker Dean Cannon, R-Winter Park, claims to be worried about government regulating private behavior. He doesn't like the idea of a ban. The problem is that reckless behavior while driving can have public consequences.
A Virginia Tech study of truckers showed that drivers were 23 times more likely to have an accident while texting than while talking on a cell phone. That result shouldn't surprise anyone. It may not be as safe to talk on a phone with one hand than to use a hands-free device or ditch the phone while driving, but it is impossible to text and look at the road. More accidents mean higher auto insurance rates for everyone. States that put a premium on safe driving have lower insurance rates.
We saw this in Florida more than a decade ago, when Jeb Bush signed a bill to let motorcyclists ride without helmets. That, too, was supposedly a freedom issue. Once the requirement was gone, more bikers began dying or suffering more serious injuries. More deaths and injuries mean higher health insurance costs. We don't think some Floridians should be free to make others pay more. We support a ban on texting while driving.

MINNEAPOLIS — In the final minutes of Minnesota's 34-23 shucking of the Huskers, about 15,000 Nebraska fans hoping to enjoy an easy win in TCF Bank Stadium grew quiet as the Gophers inexorably pushed toward a final touchdown.
But one NU fan — a woman dressed in black, including the head warmer and the nail polish — screamed support from the front row of the east end zone as the Huskers' defense, gas tank on empty, stood 20 yards away.
"Come on Nebraska!" she yelled, alternating it with "Go Big Red!"
"Two tight ends, again and again!" yelled one towel-waving, Twins-cap-wearing Gopher fan inches from her. "Put an end to this misery!" yelled another Minnesota homer further down the row, referencing 16 straight losses to NU.
The Gophers pushed to the Husker 4. Then the 2. In exasperation and frustration, the Husker fan said, not quite as loudly, "This is Minnesota!"
Yes, Minnesota. Beating Nebraska at its own game — the run game — and beating Nebraska like a drum, to the beat of five yards, six yards, seven yards, eight, tight ends by the bushel, a fullback to lead, up one side of the field and down the other. The Gophers rushed for 271 yards, racked up 430 overall and held NU's imploding offense to 328 despite the return of starting quarterback Taylor Martinez.
"I'm talking basic football," coach Bo Pelini said emphatically. "Basic football that we couldn't execute — and we didn't execute."
"There's no real way to mask it or spin it," defensive coordinator John Papuchis said.
"Wooooo!" yelled Minnesota students rushing the field after the game. They ran to the middle and put Goldy on their shoulders. A cheerleader, too. They yelled, "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" in honor of coach Jerry Kill, who took a leave of absence in early October to manage and treat his epilepsy.
Kill still watched the game from the coaches' box. He got a bird's-eye view of his team falling behind 10-0 before Minnesota's offense churned Nebraska's young, inexperienced defense into Blackshirt butter.
The Gophers shifted linemen and tight ends before nearly every play and often sent a wide receiver in the same jet sweep motion that baffled the Huskers against Wisconsin in last year's Big Ten championship. This allowed quarterbacks Philip Nelson and Mitch Leidner to either hand the ball off on the sweep, give it to big back David Cobb — who gained 138 yards — keep the ball to run, or bootleg and throw to one of two giant tight ends.
"It doesn't take a genius to see that they studied the Wisconsin championship game film a ton," defensive backs coach Terry Joseph said.
Said linebacker David Santos: "They were doing a lot of new things. A lot of speed motion in the first half. They came out with some trick plays."
Staff writer Dirk Chatelain takes a quick look at the key moments in the Nebraska-Minnesota game.

Staff writer Dirk Chatelain takes a quick look at the key moments in the Nebraska-Minnesota game.
Defensive end Avery Moss saw it differently.
"They ran the same plays — power and belly — every time," he said. "Hard for us to stop it. It was frustrating."
Minnesota (6-2 overall, 2-2 in the Big Ten) thus dined on the power football buffet and took seconds. Though NU starting linebackers Santos, Zaire Anderson and Jared Afalava combined for 28 tackles, they often didn't wrestle Cobb or the quarterbacks to the ground right away. They struggled to get off blocks while tracking the shifts and motions.
"They out-physicaled us," Pelini said. "That's the most disappointing thing that I saw. ... You can't hit a guy at the line of scrimmage, and, the next you know, it's second-and-5."
The Gophers' first touchdown drive was a 13-play, 75-yard brute that cut NU's lead to 10-7 at the end of the first quarter. Minnesota went ahead 14-10 on a 33-yard, fourth-and-10 touchdown pass from Nelson to Derrick Engel. The Gophers took a 24-13 lead early in the second half after a poor Sam Foltz punt and a Husker face mask penalty gave them a short field for a five-play, 38-yard touchdown drive. Minnesota then had an 11-play, 60-yard drive that ended in a field goal and a 27-13 lead.
Through this stretch, Nebraska (5-2, 2-1) foundered on offense.
Martinez struggled to find open receivers against a Gopher defense that stacked the box to stuff the run. After a five-week, three-game layoff, he completed 16 of 30 passes for 139 yards, one touchdown and one interception. After the game he revealed he has a different, more severe injury to the second and third toes on his left foot instead of the turf toe problem Pelini said it was.
NU ran 30 times for 189 yards, with Ameer Abdullah (165) making hay on perimeter option plays, but the Huskers rarely tested the teeth of Minnesota's defense. Pelini, Martinez and offensive coordinator Tim Beck all agreed that the Gophers' defense dictated that Nebraska throw the ball. Martinez threw for 308 yards last year in a 38-14 win over Minnesota, and many of the plays Beck called then he appeared to call again Saturday. They didn't work as well. Why?
"I can't tell you," Martinez said. Asked again, he said, "We'll just go to the next question."
Martinez said he threw the ball "pretty good." He said he allowed the coaches to tell others he had a turf toe injury because it was "simpler." He said he's not 100 percent healthy, but getting closer.
|Join the conversation on the Big Red Today Facebook page.
Though Beck had wanted to insert one of two backups — Tommy Armstrong or Ron Kellogg — in the first half, he decided against it. Pelini said Martinez's play was "the least of our problems." Later in his press conference, Pelini staunchly defended his fifth-year senior.
"Let's not go there and act like Taylor Martinez lost this football game for us," he said. "Our problems today were far beyond who our quarterback was."
Martinez led consecutive drives in the second half that cut Minnesota's lead to 27-23, and NU took over again at the 5:50 mark of the fourth quarter with a chance to take the lead. Starting from the 9, Abdullah had a 1-yard run, Martinez misfired to Quincy Enunwa and Martinez was sacked for a 3-yard loss. Foltz chunked a 27-yard punt and Minnesota ground out a final touchdown to seal the win.
Goldy and his gang rushed the field. Minnesota acting head coach and defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys received three bear hugs in the tunnel alone. Nebraska's players walked quietly through the halls outside their locker room. Few stopped to talk.
Enunwa did, and as he ate a cookie, he explained that NU's offense hadn't had a great week of practice, and Beck pulled him aside to talk about it. Enunwa said the bad week carried over, with "too many guys who thought we were going to win the game and go on to next week."
Minnesota, he agreed, had different ideas.
"They came hard, they did exactly what they said they were going to do: They gave us few possessions, held the ball and ran it down our throat," Enunwa said.
Pelini pointed to a lack of execution and mental discipline.
"When you go there and think you can just roll it out and play? Nobody can do that," he said. "You have to have respect for this game. We talked about it last night. We talked about it all week. I've been around this game long enough to know: We didn't have the type of focus that it takes to play real great football."
Papuchis wanted to re-examine the prep for the Gophers.
"Twenty-four hours ago, I felt pretty good about our preparation," he said. "Obviously, after watching that, I don't feel good about anything that we did."
This is Nebraska: Likely needing to win out, again, to advance to Indianapolis for the Big Ten championship. October strikes again. Pelini's never made it through the month without a loss.
"It hurts," Moss said. "We want to take the Big Ten and do something else other than the Capital One Bowl, you know? But setbacks like this keep happening."

Mohamed A. Salim says the passenger compared him to the men accused of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombing 11 days earlier and threatened to kill him.
"Because I'm a Muslim, he treated me like a piece of trash," Salim said. "I love this country. I didn't deserve this."
Ed Dahlberg of Clifton, who has been charged with misdemeanor assault, denied hitting Salim in a statement released by his attorney.
Muslim rights workers said Salim's account is supported by medical records and an 11-minute, obscenity-filled video of Dahlberg's remarks leading up to the alleged assault. Salim, a 39-year-old from Great Falls, provided The Washington Post with a copy, which his attorney described as evidence of the prejudice that others sometimes face but rarely document.

I say call them Pirates:
and do what they used to do with Pirates get them and "Hang" them.Maritime piracy, according to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982, consists of any criminal acts of violence, detention, or depredation committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship or aircraft that is directed on the high seas against another ship, aircraft, or against persons or property on board a ship or aircraft. Piracy can also be committed against a ship, aircraft, persons, or property in a place outside the jurisdiction of any state.
If they are classed as criminals you would need to give them a trial.

I have to agree with the review that this staff is rude. This was the most unpleasant and uncomfortable dining experience I have ever encountered. The staff was rude upon us entering the restaurant. There were 2 people at the bar and otherwise the place was empty. Was left with the impression that our presence was an inconvenience but decided to give it a shot anyway. I was purchasing a bottle of wine. The wine list is extensive and I asked for a bottle similar to a Pinot Grigio to compliment my meal. The staff ridiculed my wine choice and made snide comments I was about 20 feet from them and could hear everything they were saying. In hindsight I wish I would have left but after a long day of travel I just wanted a meal. I will have to say the food was delicious but the atmosphere in this place is toxic and if anyone is traveling in the Hartford CT area avoid this place by all means. I will add that I found the owners name and sent her a message to let her know of my unpleasant experience. She never responded.
Ignored us/ very Rude staff............Waitress took our drink order, then was visibly annoy when we didn't order wine(I was driving back to NYC) -
She never came back to take our order, ignored me when I tried to get her attention, and tended to other tables in front of us.
After 15 mins of being ignored we got up to leave and the hostess just said, 'there's only 2 of us'. Which I could understand if the place was packed...but it wasn't and they could have let us know within the 15 min wait that they would be slow.
I guess they are so rich in this economy they don't need our money / tips - so don't eat here because they don't need your money either.
Great Food - Great Service – Had a great meal of appetizers and wine. Service was wonderful, priced fairly for the quality.
Looking forward to returning soon!!!
Best Wine – Bin 228 is an amazing little place in downtown Hartford. It really does take you away to a cozy spot in a different city, you certainly forget you are in Hartford. I had some amazing red wine from Montepulciano and my boyfriend even enjoyed a "manly" martini. It was a great place to relive a recent trip to Italy with the fruit and cheese plate, along with an extensive selection of wonderful wines.
What city are we in? – If you live in the Hartford area and would like to enjoy a simple meal and some great wine then Bin 228 is the place. When I visited this warm establishment I completely forgot that I was in Hartford, it definitely had a NY Chic "feel" with the exposed brick walls and warm color palate. The variety of bruscettas and paninis was just enough to fill me up. Whether this is a place to start off your night or it is your final destination it's a wonderful restaurant.
Must visit for Italian wine lovers – Great for Italian wine. The staff was very helpful with the wine, even though they fell down when it came to other service aspects. Nice menu, oriented towards lighter fare. Not the place to go for a serious "foodie" meal. All the wines seemed to be Italian, which is a nice change. Wine prices seemed good by the bottle, per glass prices are very high ( I guess to encourage bottle ordering).
Overall a great experience and definetly worth another visit. Not very many tables and small bar, so on a Friday, probably not a good choice.
Great Spot – This is by far my favorite place in Hartford. Tasty food (mainly finger foods), a wonderful and extensive wine list, and an intimate setting. I wish there were more places like this in Hartford. The owners truly know what they're doing!
Beautiful presentations of simple, quality sandwiches and snacks complement an extensive menu of regional Italian wines. – The Scene
Overlooking Bushnell Park, this modern Italian panini and wine bar occupies a long, narrow space reminiscent of a Soho eatery. Wine is even part of the decor--steel and cherry racks showcase part of the bar's collection. Brick and stucco walls transport hip diners to Italy. Waitstaff is skilled at interpreting the unconventional menu, and exceptionally knowledgeable about wine.
The Food
At bin228, diners choose from salads, small and large plates, bruschetta, tramezzini (crustless tea sandwiches), panini (grilled ciabatta), and sweets. The mixed greens in shallot vinaigrette, and the juicy tomato, mozzarella and julienned basil salad are refreshing starts, while the herb-marinated olive bowl is a salty transition to heartier fare. A zesty lemon mayo accents the pancetta, tomato and arugula tramezzini. The fresh tomato, pesto and fontina panini is lightly charred on the outside and gooey on the inside. Creamy "pana cota" makes a cool end to a spicy meal, and the crisp Nutella panino, a rich, chocolatey grilled dessert sandwich, is neat finger food.
NY in CT – I was taken away as I walked in and found myself in a different place than Hartford. From the wine list by the glass (over 40, I found), to the simple yet delicious fare. I was surprised I hadn't heard of this place before. The beautiful exposed brick walls and the wine bins lining them. The cherry bar to the best bathroom in the state. A small romantic spot to grab a light meal before or after theater, or sit and chat with friends or date. This place is perfect for suits to dates to friends just hanging out. The service was great too. I am not a wine geek and needed help, I simply told my server what I liked and he directed me perfectly to a Sicilian red characteristicly similar to my favorite Californian cab. A must try. See you at "the Bin" as my friends put it.

MOTHER JONES AT THE CAPITAL … "There's another war that needs to honor its dead. There's another struggle needs memory. Mother Jones led women through a trench of snow down to the Capitol in Denver. She was mobilizing support for the strikers in Ludlow & the southern coalfields. "The miner's angel," she was always there … In Trinidad they arrested her. Can't let this old woman cause trouble. When the women marched to protest her arrest General Chase fell off his horse. Damned women spooked his stallion. "Ride Down the Women!" he ordered to cover his embarrassment. So these brave & distinguished militia rode down on unarmed women on Main Street in Trinidad & saved Colorado from unions … So, here's my idea: Statue of Mother Jones standing at the Capitol on one side & a statue of Louis Tikas on the other so we never forget what it took to get workers' basic rights. And every May Day we can reaffirm the struggle to keep those rights & add a few" … Phil Woods, Denver.
MIXED MESSAGES … U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Cortez) had two aides in San Miguel County last week … Adam Eckman of the D.C. office made it over Lizard Head pass in a storm to meet for a quick dinner at Cocina de Luz and talk about natural resource issues – his specialty – and the San Juan Wilderness Bill … It was announced (and appeared in the Norwood paper) that Chris Quintana of the Cortez office would be at Norwood's Log Cabin from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. last Thursday to meet with constituents. However, he turned out to be a no-show. The Log Cabin was locked at noon when I came into town to visit, and folks over at the Norwood Town Hall said Quintana never even came in and got the key to the Log Cabin … One aide braves a snow storm to meet with a county official, the other sets up a meeting and then doesn't show. Confusing.
SPEAKING OF SCOTT … Did all of you get that self-congratulatory flyer in your mailbox from the 60 Plus Association telling you to call Scott Tipton and thank him for "improving and protecting Medicare"? According to the big format glossy, Scott's vote in favor of the new federal budget plan 1) reduced Medicare waste, 2) protected current Medicare recipients, 3) targets more money for sick and poor seniors, and 4) will provide better choices for future generations. Sounds great … And 60 Plus Association characterizes itself on the flyer as "a non-partisan national seniors advocacy group." Clearly, a group to be trusted, right? Well, maybe not … According to SourceWatch – "Your guide to the names behind the news" – www.sourcewatch.org. – The 60 Plus Association is described as a front group for the pharmaceutical industry. The author, Bill Hogan, writes that 60 Plus, along with the Senior Coalition and the United Seniors Association claim to speak for millions of older Americans, but that their membership does not come from membership dues. In fact, adds Hogan, "virtually all of their largest contributions in recent years have come from the same source – the nation's pharmaceutical industry." … This is the same group that targeted former U.S. Rep. John Salazar with a dozen inflammatory out-of-state mailings in the last election – all because Salazar championed a bill to let the government negotiate with pharmaceutical companies over drug prices for seniors – a provision of the Obama health care bill that Republicans fought successfully to kill … So, don't be fooled. If you want to call Rep. Tipton at 719-587-5105, do so and suggest to his aides that he ought to be truly representing senior citizens in his district, not carrying water for the pharmaceutical companies
CLEAN ENERGY PARK … If you think that's a term for an alternative energy development you'd want to have in your community, think again. This is the name a developer on the other side of the range gave to a development with a $5 billion Nuclear Power Plant as its centerpiece … Luckily, the Pueblo County Commissioners weren't fooled (including my hero Commissioner John Sandoval) and they turned the proposed Planned Unit Development down on a unanimous vote. Thank you, John, and the other commissioners … Watch out for names. Clearly unscrupulous developers are trying to snooker folks by proposing bad projects with appealing names. Just like the 60 Plus Association above.
OOPS … I sent in a flurry of corrections to last week's column – seems I'd learned more before our drop-dead date and so tried to correct some errors in my original words. But one item didn't get fixed: only two of the Ouray County commissioners, not all of them, will miss this summer's Colorado Counties, Inc.'s annual meeting in Vail. My apologies for any confusion.
My Mother's Things
In the very last of the death boxes:
umpteen beautiful crystal bottles filled with exotic perfumes from foreign lands, pounds of barbaric jewelry,
ancient bones and stones.
A jug full of bells. A jug full of bells... some of them tongueless, voiceless.
Poetry...even a book of poetry
the poet being an old, dead lover of my mother Wild Honey.
The belt she made at camp
when she was fourteen.
My second grade report card... my teacher notes my "enormous imagination"
and my "sense of humor." (It was nice of her to write that...
I can't think of anything worse
than me as a funny second-grader.)
I have my mother's old love letters. She also saved every word I ever wrote to her.
I have her silks
yards and yards of red silk and purple. I'm going to make my photograph in them...
I have her passport, her library card... her statue of Obi Wan Kenobi.
I have her eyes...her cheekbones... her blood... her ashes.

Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine is a subspecialty within the field of radiology. It comprises diagnostic examinations that result in images of body anatomy and function. The images are developed based on the detection of energy emitted from a radioactive substance given to the patient, either intravenously or by mouth. Generally, radiation to the patient is similar to that resulting from standard x-ray examinations.
Nuclear medicine images can assist the physician in diagnosing diseases. Tumors, infection and other disorders can be detected by evaluating organ function. Specifically, nuclear medicine can be used to:
- Analyze kidney function
- Image blood flow and function of the heart
- Scan lungs for respiratory and blood-flow problems
- Identify blockage of the gallbladder
- Evaluate bones for fracture, infection, arthritis or tumor
- Determine the presence or spread of cancer
- Identify bleeding into the bowel
- Locate the presence of infection
- Measure thyroid function to detect an overactive or underactive thyroid
There are tremendous advantages of having a combined PET CT:
- Earlier diagnosis due to the high quality images
- Chance of better outcome due to accurate staging and localization
- Ability to detect recurrence in its early stages

It's important to learn about candidates before you votePosted Friday, April 30, 2010, at 10:45 AM
This coming Tuesday we all get a chance to exercise our right to go to the polls and cast a ballot for candidates who want to be our voice.
They want to take action on our behalf about the way our national, state and local governments as well as our district school boards operate and dole out hard-earned tax dollars.
The decisions made on election day are important ones and ones that Greene County and Indiana residents ought not take lightly.
It's true that Primary Elections are limited to balloting for either Democrat or Republican candidates who are trying to win their party's nod on the General Election ticket.
These people on the respective partisan party ballots are trying to be our representative for the next few years when national and state issues are going to be tackled in a effort to help pull us out of this downward spiraling economy as well as making decisions on moral, defense and environmental issues.
We're not talking partisan politics.
We are talking right and wrong.
We are talking common sense, objectivity and truth.
It's no wonder people get disillusioned, apathetic and disgusted with our political process.
It is true that the actions of some of those elected in the past begs for some accountability, creditability as well as a critical review of their voting records.
It's also true that it is pretty easy for someone running for an office to make promises and pledges out on the campaign trail, only for the constituents to find the truth is revealed later with their voting records or the way they conduct their own business and personal lives.
That's why it is so important for voters to be informed about the candidates and the issues.
This is where each of us bears some personal responsibility.
It takes an effort to understand and know who you are voting for and why they are running for a political office.
I don't think that is an unreasonable expectation of any voter.
The newspaper can provide many of those details about the candidates in the profiles it publishes before the election. But an informed voter probably needs to do some of their own homework.
We need the best people possible to cast those key votes on our behalf in Washington D.C. as well as in Indianapolis, Linton, Bloomfield, Jasonville, Worthington, Switz City, Lyons, Newberry, and the rural areas of Greene County.
School boards are facing extreme challengers with massive state shifts in funding. Budgeting decisions, teacher's jobs and the kind of education were are providing for our children are at stake.
I understand that traditionally voter turnout is very low for primary elections during an off-presidential year.
But the decisions nonetheless remain important and worthy of our effort to get to the polls and at least let our voice be known.
Locally, seats are up for grabs on school boards in Bloomfield, Linton-Stockton, White River Valley and Shakamak.
There is only one contested race at the county level -- District 1 County Council.
The Worthington Town Council also has a couple of seats on the ballot.
Elections are won and lost because people stay at home and don't vote.
I'm in a rather unique position when it comes to politics and the operation of local/state government as well as our schools.
As a journalist for more than three decades, I've sat around the table with a lot of these elected decision-makers, watched and learned.
I've seen many wise decisions made as well as some of those that left you wondering "What were they thinking?"
I've seen people elected to boards, councils and positions who have done a great job for the people they were selected to represent and others failed.
While the number of important local/county races on the ballot this year are few, the significance of those elected offices is not diminished.
In a democracy there is nothing more fundamental than having the right to vote.
When the polls open Primary Election Day, every registered voter will be able to cast a ballot before the polls shutdown -- providing they have a valid photo identification card.
Voting is too often a right we take for granted, one that in truth defines our nation as a democracy.
Universal suffrage -- letting everyone vote -- did not appear overnight with the ratification of our U.S. Constitution.
Two hundred years ago, you had to be white, male, and wealthy in order to vote.
Thank God, those prejudicial days are gone.

Vote for what the candidate stands for NOT THE MAN OR WOMAN just because they are a friend or relative. So many people get into office because they know someone. That IS NOT the way to elect someone. Research and find out what that candidate stands for and believes and if it will better the community or state. Don't vote on feelings.

Vote for board members and candidates that support quality education for our kids. It is a shame that very little is known about the school board candidates in Linton. I believe that one gentleman is running....and I haven't even seen a sign (either an actual sign or him stopping by our home) that he even wants the job.
By the way, what does vote Republican in an Indiana primary election really mean?....Sure, if you like a particular Republican, fine.
But to say vote Republican....is silly. You can only vote Democrat or Republican.
If you get a chance, pick up a copy of Money magazine if you want the "skinny" on how the health care law would benefit or hurt you.
Pretty interesting.....MOST people in our part of the world would benefit.....By the way, Money magazine is not a liberal, leftist, communist, socialist magazine....so your mind won't get corrupted if you read it, conspiracy theorists.

"I did not like the announcement selection from the portrait studio. I had to scan that shot and was worried about the reproduction quality but the card is absolutely professional! I was able to customize exactly the way I wanted. It's beautiful. Thanks Tiny Prints."
"Tiny Prints made it possible for us to personalize our daughter's graduation announcement with, all the photos, wording, and colors of our choice. The superior quality makes her announcement a keep sake that will last for years to come. Family and friends feel they have received a "gift" instead of a request for one. Just the effect we were hoping for! The staff was helpful, patient, and friendly. Thanks Tiny Prints for making this a positive, personal experience and treating us like a family and not just a number."
"This puts the best of two worlds together - a childhood photo and a senior picture. With the Guess Who title, it makes the card fun. I have received so many comments on this card already! The process made it really easy for me to change the font and wording and add my own touch to it. I love that feature."
"I don't consider myself creative, but the website was easy to navigate, and I am thrilled with the graduation announcement I made using my daughter's senior photos and other contents to customize this product. It is classy and beautiful! Can't wait to send them out and hear the feedback from our family and friends. A perfect way to share our happy graduation news with them!"
"This graduation announcement was more than I expected. The picture quality was awesome. The customer service rep had no problem guiding me through the website so that I may request a manual change that wasn't available online. The order came in a timely manner and when I needed more, they were here in 2 days!!! Iv'e had nothing but compliments from family and friends. I will be using Tiny Prints again. SIgned, A pleased customer!"

Is 18 really too young to have a baby? It's old enough to be concidered adult, but too young to give birth? All I feel lately is stress over the fact that some people close to me actually stopped talking to me, or talk to me so much differently now that I am pregnant. I get the "Congrats you are having a baby, although you are too young" thing going on now. I want to be strong but at the next second, I don't know what to think. It's not like I gave up and had an abortion. I am actually eating healthier and getting ready for this baby. Then I think about everyone saying that I messed up at a young age and all I can do is cry about it. I don't know what to think right now. It's bad enough I lost my job when I found out, I have too much to worry about and I don't know where to start from here..
First of all....congratulations on your pregnancy. Having a baby is a wonderful blessing no matter what age you are. At 18, you will certainly have a tougher road than some people, but age does not mean you will be any less of a mother. Right now you are about to embark on a wonderful adventure. At times it will be wonderful and at times it will be difficult. Surround yourself with friends and family who will support your decision to have a baby and give you the emotional support you will need to raise this baby. If you find yourself having trouble, talk to your doctor about support groups or resources in your area that may be able to help. Congratulations again and welcome to Strong Moms.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Every pregnant mom will tell you that someone has something negative to say or something that will make you worry about the delivery or life after baby. Don't let them get to you, take it with a grain of salt, mostly they are probably just concerned about you but can tell you in a positive way. Just continue to take care of yourself, and align yourself with your helpful and positive resources, like your physician or family members that are supportive, and your boyfriend! Most importantly dont forget to sign up on all the major diaper website and stores because you can get some great deals! Hang in there, you will be very blessed with your baby! My first is now 5 months old and a boy also! Its been wonderful and things will be good for you too!
Dont worry, I'm sure you will be a wonderful mother! My cousin was 16 when she got pregnant, she made the right choice to do what everyone told her not to. She kept the baby even when her own parents suggested abortion, and even after giving birth to a beautiful baby boy she opted not to adopt and keep her baby even when everyone told her she was too young to be a full time mother. She was strong through all of that and I have to admire that. Here Iam 22, and Iam scared to death. I'am working full time plus Overtime which comes out to be about 55 hours a week. And trying to eat better, and still trying to make it to the gym a few times a week which hasnt been happening too successfully lol Iam still trying to wait as long as I can to tell my boss because im afraid once I do I may be laid of, from what my co-workers tell me he doesnt like to pay the maternity leave. So most of my stress is coming from work although I try not to let that bother me lol :)
OH! ouch! im sorry. dont be scared. at least you have a job. just try to work as hard as you can right now. I lost my job a few days after i found out i was pregnant. it SUCKED! I told my boss that i was pregnant and i had BAD morning sickness. I was working at mcdonalds so you know how that would work. it DIDNT!
so how far are you?
I had my son when I was 17 and still in High School and my guidance counselor looked down on me, she refused to give me a tutor. It took a lot of hard work and fighting to get what I needed and I graduated on time with good grades. As long as you're working to build a good life for you and your child, ignore everyone's negative remarks. My fiance and I are now expecting our second and although I'm only 19, I'm happy I'm young, I can put all my youth and energy into raising our two young boys and still be young enough when they're older to give the same to my grandchildren. Hang in there and just remember, you're doing a wonderful job as long as you're trying.
im 20 years old. me nd my boyfriend have been together for 4 years, 2 of them living together. i recently found out i was pregnant. i told my parents nd they are currently not speaking to me. his father is the only grandparent really supporting us. his mother she has a million nd one negative things to say about this pregnancy. i dnt pay attention it any of it, bcause it could have been worse. this pregnancy is a blessing for me. it seems like everyone who has something negative to say doesnt help me with anything anyway, so y speak on the matter. thats jus how i feel about it all now. me nd my boyfriend are happy and getting ready for this baby to come into the world. seems like i have more friend support than family. but im okay with that.
Don't fret hun. I was 16 with my first child and I got the same treatment. It sucked but I'm so happy I did it. I didn't even have the daddy around so I was alone from the get-go. I'm 18 now and am 28 weeks pregnant. It's a hard road but honestly, I wouldn't change a thing about it. Forget everyone who is making you feel down on yourself. You're going to be a great mother. Smile and good luck
Aww wow working at Mcdonalds with morning sickness! that must have been horrible :( I am only 7 weeks, and so far I havent had any morning sickness or bad bouts with nausia, The only symptoms ive had is extremely sore breasts which seem to grow every day I already need new bras! lol, and the fatigue, im ready for bed by like 8pm. haha. So for now I can hide it at work for a little bit anyways, it also helps that I work @ a doctors office and wear scrubs, not the most flattering work uniform lol
i was 18 with my first and went through the same thing you are going through, everyone told me iwas to young. now she is almost 6 years and i couldnt imagine life without her, and i no longer get those comments! occasioanlly someone will say you do not look old enough to have a 5 year old, but thats about it. i am one of the youngest moms at kindergarten, soccer and dance, but think of it this way you will be in your mid thirties when your child is 18, you will still be young!. just screw what everyone says! no matter your age you will get negative comments from people...
Thanks for the good advise! It really helps to talk to people who are/were in the same boat as I am now. Things are looking okay now that my boyfriend is looking for a job. It's just still hard to get a job out there. I'm just glad I am not at McDonalds now!
AshleyFV...I now have a wonderful son he will be 5 in march i just turned 24 in August i had him at 19. I know exactly how you feel. the best thing i can say to you is congrats and let everyone have the opinions they want aslong as you are doing what you want that is what counts. I did get alot of aren't you to young and all that junk. But i look back and I wouldn't change it for the world. My son is one of the best things to happen to me. Just stand your ground and let everyone know your doing what you want and if they can't respect you for that and keep contact with you then it's their lose not yours. Good Luck, I know this post is a few weeks old and i hope things have changed for the best and that they continue to get better.
Congratulations! Im 18 as well and Im 29 weeks pregnant. I understand completely how you feel. Everyone was saying the same things to me and making me feel bad about my choice to keep my baby. At first I ignored evrything, then I started to get overwhelmed and streesed out and then I started thinking that maybe I did mess up my life. But I realized that I was just letting everyone elses thoughts and concerns make me think that way. My advive to you is to just ignore the negativity that people are trying to bring to you and think about what is best for your baby and how happy you are going to be when he or she gets here.
Congradulations on your pregnancy!! I just wanted to say that it sounds like the people in your life that are not talking to you or treating you the same are very insensitive people. I understand that you are young but it sounds like you are more then able to be a great mom!! You seem to be mature for your age. You are doing all of the right things by taking care of yourself and getting ready for the baby. Age is just a number and try not to let other people discourage you.
I would just give them some time will come around. I have a girlfriend that was pregnant also. She is 22 0r 23 and they were upset with her for awhile to and it didnt take them long before they came around. It only took a month or so before they were all happy for her. If they are all still acting the same just prove them all wrong when the babys born that you are a grown women and can handle anything. Wish you the best of luck.

Great idea! I also scan some of the items as well as take photos of some of the bulkier things and print them out in our annual family album. That way, I can size them down and print 4-10 treasured art pieces per page. I try and keep at least one hand print or other size specific items in the actual original state each year. But worksheets, coloring pages, etc. are beautiful no matter what size. :)

Great job! :) Pinterest is awesome, isn't it? Just the other day, I showed my husband an activity that I made for my little man. He said did you think of that- and I said- No, I don't need to think up everything anymore, I have Pinterest! Lol I still like to challenge myself to be creative especially so I can create "new" ideas, but how great to have so many wonderful resources right at our fingertips.

Is this a regular size file box or is it larger? It looks a bit larger int he photo but I can't tell.

I believe the file box is one that can be used with regular files or legal files if you turn it sideways -- it's whatever size was at Target. Hope this helps! : )

Great idea! I have a similar system but with an even lazier (i mean convenient) twist. During the school year, I have 2 clear wall folders mounted in my basement (on my storage side) The papers go into the folders & then are sorted at the end of year!

Byron's Rack Build
Here is a series of photos of a rack I'm in the process of constructing. It's a large fixed front rack, meaning it's brazed to the head tube of the bike. This allows for more weight to be carried up front, and that the bike will still be stable a sure. It's the same principle as is with the Cycle Truck.
This particular rack is a low-rail, basket style, for versatility of load carrying. I still have to build a rear rack for the bike, but we're getting close to the end now.
I hope you enjoy seeing the process of how racks like this come together. It's quite a job figuring it all out.

Governor Cuomo made a rare overnight trip to the nation's capital where he attended a high-dollar fundraiser and talked 2014 political strategy. But as our Michael Scotto reports, the Governor insists the trip had nothing to do with 2016.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Governor ANdrew Cuomo knows any visit to Washington, D.C. will always be seen through the lens of the next presidential race.
"When you come to the capital, they ask you if it has something to do with 2016 and if you're running for President," Cuomo said.
With that narrative as the backdrop, Cuomo made an overnight trip to the nation's capital, which began Sunday night, when he cheered on Kennedy Center honorees and continued into Monday, when he headlined a high-dollar, closed-door fundraiser for his 2014 re-election bid. Attendees said the Governor's breakfast talk focused on keeping New York's taxes in check.
"He did say that while he was Governor, he was not going to let New York be known as the highest taxed state in the United States," said Ben Barnes, a former Texas lieutenant governor. Those who attended said New York City Mayor Elect Bill de Blasio's plan to tax the wealthy never came up. And Cuomo said he was only trying to sell the state to the wealthy D.C. insiders who paid thousands to hear him speak.
Cuomo said, "One of the things I was saying at the fundraiser was bring your businesses to New York. I'm out of state in Washington, D.C., many of these people represent national companies."
This was a highly unusual trip for the Governor, who over the last three years, has made it a point to rarely leave the state.
The Governor tried to keep his Monday business as low-key as possible. He quietly attended the fundraiser, before continuing on to a private meeting of the Democratic Governors Association, where he heard how the federal budget could impact the state.
"There's so much unknown yet on the federal budget games, right, because it's not really a thoughtful process at this point," Cuomo said.
The meeting wasn't all about policy. The governors also talked about how to win in 2014, before Cuomo jumped on a plane so he could quickly return to New York.

Why are certain pieces of online content more viral than others? That's what Jonah Berger's and Katherine L. Milkman's recently released research shows us.
The research pair looked at data from all New York Times articles published over a three-month period and how emotion shapes virality. Most striking? POSITIVE CONTENT IS MORE VIRAL THAN NEGATIVE CONTENT. It's not a coincidence that over the years I've been more likely to share content like JK Wedding Dance Entrance versus something depressing or overall negative. Looks like I'm not alone, although content that provokes negative emotion is still more viral than content that provokes sadness.
In fact, Berger and Milkman specifically mention that:
Content that evokes high-arousal positive (awe) or negative (anger or anxiety) emotions is more viral. Content that evokes low-arousal, or deactivating, emotions (e.g., sadness) is less viral.
Marketers should try to evoke the three A's: Awe, Anger and Anxiety: "Content that evokes high arousal emotions, regardless of their valiance, is more viral."
Their 15-page research piece in the Journal of Marketing Research ultimately shows why people share content and how to design more effective viral marketing campaigns. To get the upper hand on your competitors, you should read it in its entirety.
FAVE READER QUESTION: What's your fave viral content of all time?

Jonah Berger is Joseph G. Campbell Assistant Professor of Marketing (e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com), and Katherine L. Milkman is Assistant Professor of Operations and Information Management (e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com), the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

For proper ACPI support from this laptop (to get battery, suspend/resume, etc working properly) you need to install at least BIOS version 1.03.
Make sure you use a Linux distribution with at least kernel version 2.6.35, such as Ubuntu 10.10. Older distributions have problem with sound and wireless.
The Acer Aspire 7745G is not the easiest laptop to setup with Linux, however with a bit of work good results can be achieved.
I still had a version downloaded a year ago
it could helps.
I also have a ACER 7745G (i7 720QM - ATI Radeon 5650 - 6GB RAM- 1TB) and first installed Ubuntu on the second HDD and it worked fine. I started messing with it and everything kept working.
I than decided to install it on my first HDD. I used the partition tool in the setup to clear everything from my first HDD (including the recovery partition).
Then the misery started. Sometimes my linux freezes (no particular reason) even several reinstallations didn't do the trick
created a new installation cd and now it seems to work (fingers crossed).
I already read a lot, but no definite explanation found yet
I've been having trouble locating the connectors and such that I need for the second disk drive bay for my 7745G. What did you do for a second disk drive?
At the moment my laptop is in the shop. I think my first HDD seemed corrupt. After working I heard a distinctive ticcing sound and then the system freezed. Let's hope that is the solution.
Got my laptop back…
They changed the HDD en reset that to factory settings (4 partitions on the first HDD)
I installed ubuntu using the whole HDD and again strange things happens. Not really freezes, but some applications just close (without any reason i.e. Firefox and on reopening Firefox, it doesn't do a thing) and whan I want to start System monitor I get errors and there's nothing else to do than restart.
The frequency of this problem is not predictable… Very strange stuff happening. I might guess it may have something to do with the 64-bit compatibility or something…
All of that, except of microphone, worked in Ubuntu Maverick without extra pain.
Still wonder:
i7z program also adds some value: http://code.google.com/p/i7z/
I installed Ubuntu lucid (2.6.32-24-generic-pae) at acer aspire 7745G.
All hardware is working (finally), but that wasn't easy.
Here I would like to share my Notest…
Make LAN working
solution source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1555540
• #sudo apt-cdrom add # not necessary with mobile network which I had
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install build-essential
• #Download AR81Family Linux Driver from http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx
• tar zxvf AR81Family-linux-v126.96.36.199.tar.gz
• cd src
• sudo su
• make install
• modprobe atl1e
Make battery detectable
Updated BIOS helped:
• sudo dmidecode -s bios-version #check current BIOS version V1.00
• Find and download new version of BIOS from www.acer.com:
- top menu: Service and Support
- left menu: Driver Download
- select product family: Notebook
- select product line: Aspire
- select product model: Aspire 7745G
- tab above bottom table: BIOS
- click on download icon for version: 1.03
Note: There are newer versions, but because of waring message (red text: "…possibility of product failure."), I choose lower version which is bigger then current.
• Update BIOS from Windows. (power cable must be plugged on).
Make sound working
• sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic-pae
• sudo shutdown -r now
Make microphone working
solution source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=927270
• Download lastest driver from ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/
• bunzip2 alsa-driver-1.0.23.tar.bz2

• make
• sudo make install
• sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf Added this two lines:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=acer

Sound Preferences…
• tab: Hardware > device: Internal Audio > profile: Analog Stereo Duplex
• tab: Input > connector: Microphone 2 > device for sound input: Internal Audio Analog Stereo
• tab: Output > device for sound output: Internal Audio Analog Stereo
Make microphone working also with Skype
source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1308090
• Open alsamixer (in console),
• push F6 to choose the Audio card.
• Push F5 (All).
• Move with arrow keys on CAPTURE.
• Push Z to decrease the left column and E to raise the right one.
Oddly but it works!
Make wireless working
solution source:
• lspci | grep -i net #Check for Device Recognition
09:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4357 (rev 01)
• sudo lshw -C network #Check for driver (was UNCLAIMED)
(Optional:) package linux-backports-modules-wireless-$(uname -r) should not be installed,
remove it (if is):
• sudo apt-get purge linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic-pae
• sudo apt-get autoremove
• Menu: System → Administration → Hardware Drives, There is: Broadcom STA wireless driver – so activate it
Thanks for leading the way, majnet. I also have the 7745G with Ubuntu 10.4. I wasn't sure about which bios, but after reading your experience, went ahead with the 1.03 (it was 1.00), and that fixed the no battery problem. The Atheros family driver also fixed the hard-wired Ethernet problem. The download doesn't unpack cleanly, but I read another post that it worked anyhow, so I went ahead with the install steps, and it now works fine also. Thanks again for posting your experience. Now, if I could just get the connector I need for the second disk drive in this thing!
Thanks majnet for pushing me in the right direction to do a BIOS update. I was looking for a way to manipulate the ACPI-Tables in the BIOS but didn't have the idea that the manufacturer might have solved the problem (that is not a problem in Windows) with a new BIOS-version.
For me it not only solved the invisible-battery problem but also let me use suspend, dim the backlight and recognize lid-down events.
Now my notebook really feels like a notebook.
http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx is unavailable.
Where i can download AR81Family Linux Driver now?
Google hasn't helped.

Description of Liberal Studies Courses
LBST 550 Special Studies in Liberal Arts (1-3) Liberal studies in conjunction with special activities and events such as seminars, conferences, fieldwork, lecture series, research, and travel. Repeatable, but only a total of three hours may apply to the 33 hours required in the MALS degree. Credit varies, and the instructor together with the director of the MALS program will determine the amount of credit. Prereq: Consent of the instructor.
LBST 590 Interdisciplinary Topics in Liberal Studies (3) A seminar in which students will draw upon their educational experiences to develop interdisciplinary responses to a problem or issue in contemporary life. Course parallels LIBA 497 in the undergraduate curriculum and will be offered in concert with sections of that class but with additional requirements suitable for the awarding of graduate credit.
LBST 601 Language (3) A study of the complex abstract system that links meanings with sounds and symbols. Beginning with the question "what is language?" this course explores all aspects of language study, including how children learn language; how languages change; how regional dialects vary. It provides an interdisciplinary survey of basic concepts and applications to understand the subconscious knowledge speakers have. The course will provide an opportunity for students to upgrade their interdisciplinary academic writing skills if necessary. A humanities core course in the MALS program.
LBST 602 Nature and Nurture (3) An introduction to the neurogenetic revolution currently gaining momentum in the biological and social sciences. The course examines research and theory from the fields of evolutionary psychology, behavioral genetics, and behavioral endocrinology as challenges to the anti-biological perspectives on human social behavior found in traditional social science. Such issues lend themselves well to the most important purpose of the course: developing the skills, worldview, and values of a critical thinker. A social sciences core course in the MALS program. No prerequisite.
LBST 603 American Values: Contemporary Debate (3) An examination of current controversies involving the evolution and effects of values in American culture, including equality, materialism, personal responsibility, and rights. Explores the relationships between cultural and economic forces with respect to such social problems as poverty, crime, racial friction, and family disorganization. A social sciences core course in the MALS program. No prerequisite. Cross-listed as SOC 603.
LBST 604 The American West (3) (deleted January 9, 2009)
LBST 605 Temporality in the Sciences (3) (deleted January 9, 2009)
LBST 606 After Darwin (3) A study of the consequences of Charles Darwin's theories as they pertain to the humanities including history, literature, philosophy, religion, and civics. Includes a discussion of the methodologies of humanities research. A humanities core course in the MALS program.
LBST 607 Metals Through the Ages (3) The development of metallurgy and the use of metals against the backdrop of history. Properties of metals and the challenges facing people as metals came into use over time. Mining, mining activities, and trade of metals. A science core course in the MALS program. No prerequisite.
LBST 608 Cathedrals (3) (deleted January 9, 2009)
LBST 609 Readings in Contemporary Science and Mathematics (3) This course is designed to introduce graduate students who are not necessarily scientists to the literature of modern science and mathematics. Students will select, read, report on and discuss books from reading lists provided by the instructor in five different areas of science and mathematics. This is a Science Core for the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program or an elective in the Master of Science in Education program. No prerequisite.
LBST 610 Capstone Course, Graduating Seminar in Liberal Studies (3) The objective of this course is to give students in the MALS program an opportunity to create a meaningful synthesis of their core courses and electives. The organizing topics for this course can be varied. This course along with one other 600 level elective or other organizing topics of 610 constitutes one of the options for the final six hours of the MALS called the Capstone Experience. Repeatable with topic change.
LBST 611 The Capstone Elective/ The Method of Rhetoric (3) The word "rhetoric" can be traced back to the simple assertion "I Say" (Eiro in Greek). Almost anything related to the act of saying something to someone -- in speech or in writing -- can conceivably fall within the domain of rhetoric. This course will explore the various philosophical and psychological theories of man that impinged on various rhetorical theories and practices from classical times to the present. We will also see how political, technological, economic, and scientific events affected rhetorical theory and practice and how in turn rhetoric affected them. We will also explore the ethical dimensions of rhetoric. We will attempt to salvage the best of past and present theory and practice and attempt to integrate them into a comprehensive and useful perspective on rhetoric--and eventually into our own practices in speaking and writing.
LBST 612 Modernity and Postmodernity (3) An examination of the historical eras labeled in Western society as "modernity" and "postmodernity" and an attempt to define such eras through the discipline of sociology, philosophy, and history. Also includes analyses of modern and postmodern culture in the realms of literature, poetry, art, music, and architecture.
LBST 680 Topics in Liberal Studies (3) Examination of topics germane to the liberal arts but not included in the regular graduate course offerings. Specific topics will vary from semester to semester and will be announced in the schedule of course offerings.
LBST 690 Independent Work in Liberal Studies (1-3) Directed study or research in a specific area of liberal studies. Topic of investigation is selected to meet the needs and interests of the student, subject to the availability of graduate faculty to supervise the work. Not to be taken more than twice by master's degree candidates without prior permission of graduate advisor.
LBST 697 Capstone Project in Liberal Studies I (3) The first of two courses involving intensive study of a topic within liberal studies, selected with the student's faculty advisor and approved by the members of the MALS faculty advisory committee.
