My music application constantly plays music in the background, however I'd like to be able to detect when another application starts playing audio (such as the YouTube app) so I can pause/mute/stop the audio in my application.
This will allow a user to continue browsing the web whilst listening to music, but then if they wish to watch a video at any point, they can do so without audio conflict.
One solution might be to listen for a broadcast which states when an application begins using the AudioManager. Does such an Intent Action exist?

Great, but is there a solution for the more common versions of Android? Ideally 1.5+.

Amazon.com Review
The bodies turn up weekly now. The height of the terror was 'eighty-eight and 'eighty-nine, but of course it was going on long before that. Every side was killing and hiding the evidence. Every side. This is an unofficial war, no one wants to alienate the foreign powers. So it's secret gangs and squads. Not like Central America. The government was not the only one doing the killing.In such a situation, it's difficult to know who to trust. Anil's colleague is one Sarath Diyasena, a Sri Lankan archaeologist whose political affiliations, if any, are murky. Together they uncover evidence of a government-sponsored murder in the shape of a skeleton they nickname Sailor. But as Anil begins her investigation into the events surrounding Sailor's death, she finds herself caught in a web of politics, paranoia, and tragedy.
Like its predecessor, the novel explores that territory where the personal and the political intersect in the fulcrum of war. Its style, though, is more straightforward, less densely poetical. While many of Ondaatje's literary trademarks are present--frequent shifts in time, almost hallucinatory imagery, the gradual interweaving of characters' pasts with the present--the prose here is more accessible. This is not to say that the author has forgotten his poetic roots; subtle, evocative images abound. Consider, for example, this description of Anil at the end of the day, standing in a pool of water, "her toes among the white petals, her arms folded as she undressed the day, removing layers of events and incidents so they would no longer be within her." In Anil's Ghost Michael Ondaatje has crafted both a brutal examination of internecine warfare and an enduring meditation on identity, loyalty, and the unbreakable hold the past exerts over the present. --Alix Wilber --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

"This superb gathering of ancient Greek lyrics, pungently translated by Burton Raffel, could not be more timely or more timeless. The poems are by turns hilarious and heartrending, erotic and elegaic, as fresh as the morning and shadowy as the dusk, yet always living, inescapable, and wise. Guy Davenport contributes an arresting introduction to this very welcome collection." Robert Fagles, translator of The Iliad and The Odyssey
"Burton Raffel has added titles and translated with great translucencyreal panache!a marvelous array of lesser known poems and poets from ancient Greece. These brief and entrancing lyric intensities ("drink, and get drunk with me," Alkaios insists) are perennially fresh and inviting, surprised by time, quick with life." Edward Hirsch, author of How to Read a Poem and Fall in Love with Poetry and Lay Back the Darkness
"The ancient Greek anthologists collected many of the world's funniest, and saddest, raunchiest, and wisest poems, which Burton Raffel, a guardian angel among American translators, has delivered breathtakingly alive into our own idiom. If poetry ever mattered, which we know it did and does, this book reminds us why." Brooks Haxton, author of Uproar and translator of Dances for Flute and Thunder
"These are the Greek poets who have endured through the millennia. Burton Raffel's wonderful translations capture their poetry in all its originality, freshness, and rhythm." Peter Constantine, winner of the 1998 PEN Translation Award and the 1999 National Translation Award
"These epigrams, epitaphs, fragments, and short poems of the Greek lyricists are witty, wise, and elegant, and they demand of a translator an almost impossible range of humanity and fastidious craftsmanship that I delight to see demonstrated, over and over in Burton Raffel's splendid English versions." David R. Slavitt, co-editor of the Penn Complete Greek Drama series and of the Johns Hopkins Complete Roman Drama series

Brian Jeffrey "B. J." Symons (born November 19, 1980) is a former American football quarterback. Symons played professionally for the Houston Texans and the Chicago Bears of the NFL, the Frankfurt Galaxy and Berlin Thunder in NFL Europe, and the Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena Football League. He was originally drafted by the Texans in the seventh round of the 2004 NFL Draft (248th overall). He played college football for Texas Tech where he was a record setting passer.
High school career[edit]
Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Symons was a standout quarterback at Cypress Creek High School. Symons completed 126 passes in 228 attempts for 1,597 and 11 touchdowns during senior season and rushed for 411 yards and seven touchdowns and was named first-team all-District 16-5A as a junior and senior. Symons completed 259 passes in 478 attempts for 3,704 yards and 27 touchdowns in two years as a starter during high school career. He was a member of SuperPrep Magazine's southwest top 100 and was listed as one of the top 100 players in the state by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, The Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and Houston Chronicle. He was also a three-year starting pitcher in baseball for CCHS. Symons was offered scholarships by the Texas Tech Red Raiders and Oklahoma Sooners. Symons chose Texas Tech over Oklahoma, then coached by Spike Dykes. Symons was recruited by Mike Leach while he was the Sooners' offensive coordinator. Leach would later become his head coach in 2000 when he was hired as the head coach of the Red Raiders.
College career[edit]
Symons played for the Red Raiders from 1999-2003. Symons was the second string quarterback for part of his redshirt freshman season in 1999, and backed up Kliff Kingsbury from 2000-2002. From 2000-2002 Symons saw action in 17 games completing 56 passes out of 80 attempts for a 70% completion rate and 7 touchdown passes in back-up duty.
2003 Season[edit]
Symons started for one season as quarterback for the Texas Tech Red Raiders. During his only season as a starter (his senior year), Texas Tech finished the season 8-5, and Symons broke the NCAA record for single-season passing yards at 5,833 yards. Symons set the NCAA 12-Game Passing Record with 5,336 yards in 2003. He broke Ty Detmer's record of 5,188, set in 1990 at BYU. Symons also established a new NCAA 12-Game Total Offense Record with 5,476 yards this season. At the time of his graduation Symons held the Big 12 and Tech record with 48 touchdown passes in one season. Symons broke Kliff Kingsbury's school and Big 12 single-season record of 45 touchdown passes. During the season, B. J. Symons tore his ACL while celebrating a touchdown pass against Iowa State. Although his statistics suffered slightly, he was still able to complete the most prolific season of passing in NCAA history. After finishing his career by extending his single-season passing record to 5,833 yards, he told reporters he will undergo reconstructive surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament.[1] Symons ended his senior year with 52 TD passes, second only to the 54 thrown by Houston's David Klingler in 1994. His favorite target, Wes Welker, tied an NCAA record by catching a pass in his 47th consecutive game.[1]
During the season he had a stretch where he threw for 4,036 yards in just 9 games including 586 yards against North Carolina State University, 661 yards against the University of Mississippi, and 505 yards against Texas A&M University.[2]
2003 Houston Bowl[edit]
Tech was selected to play in the EV1.net Houston Bowl against the Navy Midshipmen at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, giving Symons the opportunity to play his final collegiate game in his hometown. Symons threw touchdown passes to Nehimiah Glover, Jarrett Hicks, and 2 touchdown passes to Mickey Peters en route to a 38-14 win over Navy. Symons was selected as offensive MVP for the game, capping off his season with 5,833 passing yards and 52 touchdown passes.

Nancy, is eliminating all sugar (except for natural sugar in fruits) from your diet safe? In normal grocery stores, it's almost impossible to find anything outside of the vegetable section that doesn't have sugar. I switched to soy milk but even that still has sugar
Answer: Why would you want to eliminate all sugar? Sugar is a source of fuel for active muscles. All fruits, veggies and grains digest into sugar, the fuel that feeds your muscles as well as your brain. Milk also naturally contains sugar (lactose).
The concern should not be "sugar" but the source of the sugar. For example, sugar in soda pop is "empty calories" -- with no nutritional value. Sugar in oranges comes along with lots of vitamin C, potassium, folate and other health-promoting nutrients. Enjoying sweet oranges is a smart food choice, nutritionally preferable to drinking orange soda.
Processed foods often have a little sugar added. For example, the sugar in jarred spaghetti sauce adds to an enjoyable taste -- but it does not negate the nutrient content of the sauce. Dont worry about it! Nutrition guidelines say that 10% of calories can appropriately come from refined sugar. As an active person, you likely need at least 2,000 calories a day. That means, you could enjoy 200 calories of refined sugar, if desired. That's 50 grams -- a quart of Gatorade, or a ton of spaghetti sauce!
Rather than getting hung up on sugar, look at the balance of your whole diet. You want to eat a diet with 85 to 90% nutrient-dense foods. But you need not eat a "perfect diet" (for you, this sounds like a sugar-free diet) to have a good diet.

I had been wanting to make a jug of clementine juice eversince I bought a big batch of the fruit but I just didn't have any idea on what to mix them with. I love clementines as a fruit, as a base for dessert & as a condiment to meat & fish. I have embarked on different recipes around this wonderful fruit but I remained clueless about one of the basic things. Juice. So while browsing the internet, I found a very interesting juice recipe in Priya's blog combining clementine juice with cinnamon. Being a bit peculiar because of its cinnamon syrup, I was unsure whether my family would like it. I was confident that I would like it because cinnamon is one thing I can't resist. Ever. Put cinnamon on anything and I would eat it.

Sweet Potato Mash with Cinnamon & Pistachios
I was undecided whether to use my only big sweet potato as a dessert or as a side dish. As dessert, I have grown up liking it cooked with coconut milk and mixed with other rootcrops or fried and coated with syrup. This time, I boiled and mashed it and treated it like a regular mashed potato dish but mixed it with Bronte pistachios and cinnamon, two of my favorite ingredients.

Believe it or not, true to his strange tastes, my son is one of the very few kids I know who loves broccoli (and cauliflower and broccoli rabe). I only succumbed to these green florets when I was over 21. After all, broccoli and kids never went well together. Fortunately, my son's choice of vegetables is far healthier than mine when I was his age.

Broccoli Rabe, Sausage & Scamorza Affumicata Crostini
What's good about the crostini is that you can put whatever topping you want and create a whole range of appetizers. Since the combination of sausages (salsicce) and broccoli rabe (or broccoletti, as they call it in Rome) is a favorite at home, these crostini always disappear fast from our table.

Canederli allo Speck
Aside from the spectacular Dolomites, the gastronomy of Sudtirol (South Tyrol) pulls me like a magnet. One of my favorite South Tyrolean dishes is this delicious canerdeli (knodel). It's available everywhere in South Tyrol. You can buy the ready-to-cook bread dumplings in the supermarkets or order them in the restaurants and the mountain shelters. They can be eaten in two ways. With hot vegetable broth or with melted butter, sprinkled with grated parmigiano reggiano on top.

Honeycomb on Toast
I never thought that honeycombs can be eaten. So, imagine my surprise when I spotted packages of them sandwiched in between dried figs and bottled honey. I was at the mall and I happened to pass by a big array of sweet delicacies from all over the country. They all came straight from small producers so most of them were unmarked just like the honeycombs. I was wondering if it's a way to show the pureness of the honey and if you squeeze the honey out of the honeycomb. I was informed that you eat everything along with the honey. So I bought one favo (honeycomb) knowing that there will be one person at home who would truly enjoy it.
Daikon Salad with Sesame Oil Dressing
This is where the other half of the daikon went to. I used half to make a salad that I loved from my youth in the Philippines. It is mixed with tomatoes and dressed with pure vinegar, the recipe of which I just posted. This one instead, has a milder tone because the vinegar was blended with sesame oil. Since the other salad's vinegar dressing has a big kick, I had to be considerate to prepare a more pleasant and milder vinegar experience for my husband who doesn't have a good relationship with this tart liquid.

Daikon & Tomato Salad
Labelled as daikon in the organic supermarket, I grabbed a big white radish on top of the pile, bagged it and weighed it. Sigh, after so many years, I meet this radish again. I have known this vegetable as labanos in the Philippines. Imagining it thinly sliced, combined with chopped tomatoes and drowned in vinegar, I couldn't help hastening my movements. I had to prepare it quickly. As much as I loved this salad when I was younger, it had been ages since I last had it. I had completely forgotten about it.

Orecchiette with Butternut Squash & Pancetta
A day without pasta at home is strange up to the point of being unacceptable, so I make sure that the kids have one for lunch or dinner. I usually cook the pasta for lunch and meat or fish for dinner. Having had so much squash these past days, I had to come up with different ways to cook it. This pasta dish is so simple to do and the kids loved it. They loved it enough to ask for seconds so I am filing this as a keeper.

Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
When I took home a butternut squash from the organic supermarket, its unfamiliar shape got my son's attention. I told him that it's a squash and a lengthy discussion started. He held ground that squashes are round not elongated. Imagining how jack-o'-lanterns look like, he shook his head, negating the thought of an elongated one. So, I embarked on a quick explanation of the squash family's different shapes & sizes. I really don't know if I convinced him.

Avocado, Salmon & Egg Crostini
There are times when I am seriously pressed for time that the most logical thing to do is whip up something quick and easy but keeping in mind to retain the healthy aspect of the meal. This is one of the quick & easy meals that I love preparing at times like this. I usually have the ingredients except for the avocado but smoked salmon, eggs and bread are quite staple in our house.

Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition is the best way to play the game, but offers little reason for veteran players to revisit Death's lengthy adventure.
Nordic Games announces a release window for 'Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition', plus confirm that a new game in the series is currently in development.
4-player co-op, a battle with Lucifer, and next-gen systems – Vigil Games former Creative Director Joe Madureira teases what 'Darksiders 3' might have been.
Even though 'Darksiders' developer Vigil Games was not purchased in today's THQ auction, there may still be hope in the form of 'Bayonetta' developer Platinum Games.
'Journey,' 'The Walking Dead,' 'Far Cry 3,' and 'Halo 4' headline the nominees for the 2013 D.I.C.E. Awards. Check out the full list of nominations right here!
Find out if your favorite game won big at the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards by checking out our list of all the winners.
'Assassin's Creed 3,' 'The Walking Dead,' and 'Halo 4' lead the charge in the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards nominees, which air December 7th on SpikeTV.
Check out the Game Rant's Monthly Game Guide, listing all of the new releases, including Nintendo's Wii U launch lineup, the latest Call of Duty and Halo 4.
Vigil Games Co-Founder Joe Madureira has announced his departure from the developer, and teases more details about his 'next big thing' are on the way.
Nintendo has announced 23 games that'll be available for the Wii U the day it launches, and while there's a solid selection of noteworthy titles to choose from, a number of expected launch games are missing in action.
Nintendo reveals the complete launch lineup for the Wii U during their Nintendo Direct conference this morning, which includes over 50 games. See the full list here!
Developer Vigil Games has gone out of its way to breath life into Death for 'Darksiders 2.' How well does the game manage its massive new scope? Read our review to find out.

Read The Monthly Game Guide to find out what's coming out during August 2012! Let us know what you'll be looking forward to, and what else you'll be playing during August!
It might not be filled with the types of titles gamers were hoping for, but the current launch line-up for Nintendo's Wii U has plenty to be excited about.
Vigil Game's Haydn Dalton says that there is still the possibility of a sequel after the release of 'Darksiders 2,' but it might be smaller in scope.
Weeks away from 'Darksiders 2's' release, THQ has released a brand new trailer for the Horseman Death, as well as new screens and a developer diary detailing the all-new skill tree and loot systems.

Windows 7 Professional is £70 more expensive that the Home Premium Edition of the OS. To ensure your wallet doesn't take the strain, we show you how to use freeware to get the Windows 7 professional functions.
The excitement surrounding Windows 7 is huge at the moment, but with the Professional Version costing £219.99 - £70 more than the Home Premium edition that will cost £149.99 – is it really worth forking out for anything other than the Home edition?
We don't think so, not when you easily replicate Pro's features using software that costs you nothing. So we've listed the best ways to boost the functionality of your Windows 7 Home Premium OS to match the pricier Windows 7 Professional. Ready?
Windows 7 Pro: Encrypting file system
Admittedly, Windows 7 simplifies the process of keeping your files out of the hands of other uses on your machine.
To encrypt files so that only those with the proper encryption key can read them - which doesn't automatically include a user with super-level access to the system, like an administrator - all you have to do is right-click on a file or folder, hit 'properties', click the 'advanced' button on the general tab and then select 'encrypt contents to secure data'. Easy.
While it doesn't natively build this action into the operating system, the freeware application TrueCrypt is an excellent program for concealing your contents with a wide variety of powerful encryption algorithms. The program uses containers - seemingly innocent files that can be made to look like any other file on your OS - as the basis for its protection.
When you mount a container file, TrueCrypt pulls up the file's associated virtual hard drives, which function like network-mapped storage.
They'll appear as disks in your Windows Explorer menu, where you can access your encrypted area to drag-and-drop files or decrypt media files on-the-fly. But that's just a taste of what this program offers. Its free functionality surpasses anything offered by Windows, and is far more customisable than its file-properties-based alternative.

Windows 7 Professional is £70 more expensive that the Home Premium Edition of the OS. To ensure your wallet doesn't take the strain, we show you how to use freeware to get the Windows 7 professional functions.
Windows 7 Pro: Backup and restore center
To its credit, Microsoft offers up a pretty solid (yet admittedly average) backup routine with the Windows 7 Backup and Restore Center.
Not only can you save your files to locations on the physical drives of your current PC, but you can even target your backups to network destinations as well. Once you set the automated schedule, Windows 7 uses the spirit of iterative backups to only copy over files that have changed since the last backup run.
This saves you time; the software's shadow copy feature archives previous editions of your files in case you need to reference previous backups.
Still, these are all features that can be found in freeware backup applications. In fact, it's tough to pin down just one application that's the best-of example of the freeware class. There are just so many options.
Want to create a full one-to-one clone of your hard drive? Check out Clonezilla. To back up your files to local, networked, or remote locations, CrashPlan is a solid, easy-to-use option that comes in both freeware and premium versions.
If you're interested in the incremental backup option to save some time on your massive data transfers, Backup Maker is the ticket.
Me? I use SyncBackSE - instead of scheduled backups, I run scheduled synchronisations.
I can set files and folders to include and exclude based on extensions or names, and the program will automatically copy new files to a target destination and erase files that exist in the destination but not in the source. In short, my 'backups' are perfect, clean replications of my source files that don't waste a lot of time or space in their creation.
Windows 7 Pro: Remote desktop host
This one's easy. Windows 7 Professional gives you the ability to take control of another PC's desktop. You can pull up programs and access the contents of a machine-perfect for connecting to your work PC from home, for example.
A similar freeware program called UltraVNC accomplishes the same task. Not only do you get a wider batch of connective options, including numerous forms of compression for enhancing the quality of your PC-takeover experience, but you can also encrypt the data passing between the two PCs and transfer files back and forth with the touch of a button.
There's even a built-in text chat, just in case you want to mess with... er... communicate with the person whose desktop you just latched on to.

Windows 7 Professional is £70 more expensive that the Home Premium Edition of the OS. To ensure your wallet doesn't take the strain, we show you how to use freeware to get the Windows 7 professional functions
Windows 7 Pro: Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode
A neat feature of Windows 7's fancier versions is the ability to have shortcuts to Windows XP-based programs in your start menu, which subsequently launch in an emulated environment.
Best of all, this XP operating system doesn't require you to have a copy of the OS for installation. Unlike most virtual environments, which require you to actually own and subsequently install the operating system, you can download a copy of Microsoft's Windows XP OS straight from Microsoft itself. Plug this into the new Virtual PC program for Windows 7 and you have a working, virtualised version of the OS running right on your Windows 7 desktop.
That said, you can mimic this functionality by grabbing the open-source program VirtualBox. After that, you need a previous copy of the operating system you plan to install.
Yes, that's right.
Since you opted for the Home Premium route, you don't get Windows XP for free. You can nevertheless install previous copies of Windows operating systems (or, really, any operating systems) into virtual environments using VirtualBox.
This gives you new access to legacy programs in a sandbox environment - perfect for running apps that just don't work right in Windows 7, as well as testing out new programs or settings without mucking up your PC's current OS. Heck, install Linux. Give it a whirl. I won't tell anybody.

2010 Yoga Retreat : Springbrook, Queensland, Australia
Sunshine Yoga 4-day & 6-day Retreat at Springbrook Theosophical Society Retreat Centre, via Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia
17 to 22 August 2010
Sunshine Yoga has been organising weekend retreats at Springbrook for over 10 years. This retreat fills up each year with mostly return clients who come back each year. Two years ago Lyn created 2 options : a 6-day stay and a 4-day stay, eliminated the 3-day weekend. This was due to a demand from clients to come in Thursday afternoon. The additional day made such a difference to their purpose of being at the retreat, that I now only offer either Tuesday to Sunday or Thursday to Sunday.
This venue is a very special location with amazing high energy, quiet and peace with non-share accommodation.

Health & Parenting
They're back in school. Do you know what your tweens are really up to? A guide for parents.
18% of eighth graders have experimented with marijuana at least once
Our source: a National Institute on Drug Abuse study. Also alarming is news that girls are now trying the drug more than boys are.
What you can do: Research shows that kids are 36 percent less likely to smoke marijuana if they learn about the risks from their parents, so talk to your child. And don't wait-experts say that some kids use drugs for the first time at age nine.
A good way to begin the dialogue: "Have you heard kids talking about drugs at school?" (Responding to a survey on goodhousekeeping.com, 45 percent of tweens said that some classmates sold drugs.)
48% of seventh graders admitted copying homework
Our source: a Rutgers University survey. Afraid your tween might be cheating?
What you can do: Don't address what your child did, say experts; address the possible motives.
One common reason kids copy: They don't really want to be dishonest, but they just don't understand the subject matter. If that's the case, go over the homework with your child every night, making sure she grasps the concepts. Another possible motive is that the child manages time poorly and then gets hopelessly behind.
The solution: Teach your tween how to organize and prioritize the workload.
40% spend their lunch money on junk food
Our source: GH's online survey. What you can do to help kids make smarter choices:
* Stock up on good-for-you snacks. The more kids eat healthy food at home, the more they'll seek it out in other settings.
* Limit TV time. Studies show there's a connection between how much television kids watch and how much junk they eat.
The good news: As of fall 2006, schools using the federal government's lunch program are required to create a policy to meet nutrition standards. And by 2010, sodas won't be sold in middle schools.
45% aren't thinking about school even when they're there
Our source: GH's online survey.
What they think about most when they're tuned out: Twenty percent are focused on after-school plans; 12 percent, on popularity; and 13 percent, on dating. One eighth grader from Florida confessed, "I usually space out and think about what might happen in my future."

Life's small irritations can ruin even the best marriages.
Like a piece of sand in an oyster, small irritations in marriage will accumulate until they're much bigger. Except in this case, you won't end up with a beautiful pearl!
Here are some "grains of sand" that can sabotage your marriage:
1. Be a flirt.
2. Undermine your spouse in public.
3. Use negative body language when your spouse is talking to you.
4. Fail to communicate on a daily basis.
5. Stop caring about your appearance.
6. Have children in order to bring your marriage together.
7. Men: Enjoy playing golf (or whatever takes your time) more than you enjoy your wife.
8. Women: Spend more time with your friends (or whatever takes your time) than you spend with your husband.
9. Find your self-esteem outside the marriage.
10. Conceal your expectations.

Other Thoughts: Came in that way, disappointing, now I have to waste my time dealing with it.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH
Pros: Works without any problems
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I needed 4G for my new ASUS board with PhenomII x4. I was concerned about memory problems that seem to show up when least expected. First I went to ASUS and wrote down the makes and models of memory they recommented. Decided on one of the G skill models and emailed G Skill to double check. I was told that the model this reviw is about is actually a later and better choice than the one listed by ASUS. No problems so far.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500W ATX Power Supply
Pros: None
Cons: Junk. Arrived DOA or must have died as I was powering up.
I bought a Corsair that cost more than twice as much and I am happy.
Other Thoughts: Wasted my time, I had to remove it, install my old supply with minimum components, the new Mobo and processor worked great, removed it, went to Best Buy bought the Corsair. Once you look at it, you know why it is cheap. I felt stupid that I even considered trusting my new board and processor on this junk.READ FULL REVIEW

Social workers in London gain access to Health LibrariesSaturday, May 24th, 2008
Social workers, practice teachers, managers and researchers are amongst a host of social care professionals living or working in the capital who are now able to benefit from a new service jointly provided by Skills for Care London.
Learning Resources for Social Workers is a partnership between SfC London and the NHS Health Libraries. It is aimed at supplementing existing SfC resources with a wider range of complementary materials.
Professionals are now able to benefit from a walk-in reference and study area; walk-in PC access to the social care database; inter-library loans; core social work books and related social care and health materials; and access to social work journals either on site or through the photocopying service. The project hopes to secure long term funding and this will be influenced by the numbers using the service and an evaluation of the impact of the pilot scheme.
Librarians, trained in supporting social work learning needs, will also be able to provide training on use of PC and search skills, and most libraries will also provide a free information searching service. The libraries are located at the following sites:

âSpongeBob Comicsâ #1 was one of the books I was looking forward to most this week. Iâm a bit of a fan of the property and was excited to see how it translates into the world of comics. The results are mixed at times, but the overall experience is an enjoyable one.
The approach taken for âSpongeBob Comicsâ is that of an anthology with a few short stories, a few one-page gags, a pin-up, and even some behind the scenes stuff about âSpongeBob SquarePantsâ creator Steve Hillenburgâs pre-âSpongeBobâ comic âThe Intertidal Zone.â Itâs 32 pages of content plus the back and inside-front covers!
Where the comic goes wrong is a pitfall of the medium. âSpongeBob SquarePantsâ is a show that derives a lot of humor from its use of crazy animation, quick cuts, and the voices of the characters. Here, those assets are gone and the world of Bikini Bottom is a little flatter for it. It doesnât help that the longest story in the comic is based around music and sound. The premise is funny (Squidward wanting to showcase his music at the Krusty Krab and getting foiled by SpongeBob), but itâs obviously one that is far better suited to the animated world than the comics world. After reading it, I was more curious about what the songs in the story would sound like.
While that story has a hard time adapting to comics, the two-page âBest Joke Everâ strip is designed specifically for comics. Framed by three lead-in panels and two concluding one, itâs a grid of five by four where SpongeBob tells a joke and you determine its course by moving from one panel to the next in any direction you want. There are tons of possibilities and has a fun interactive element. More than that, artist Vince Deporter does a fantastic job of giving each panel its own distinct piece of action, using a variety of angles and facial expressions for SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward. He helps get across the tone and emphasis of each piece of the joke.
The art in the book is consistently the strongest feature. The regular âSpongeBobâ look is adhered to for the most part but, thankfully, artists are given the freedom to deviate at times. Andy Rementerâs strange, offbeat depiction of SpongeBob and the gang may surprise some, but also suits the characters quite well. The same goes for James Kochalkaâs three strips on the back cover where he does a far more minimal style than the cartoon to great effect, going for a look that makes SpongeBob the straight man to Patrickâs insanity.
And, of course, how could the first issue of âSpongeBob Comicsâ be complete without appearances from Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy? Itâs only a four-page strip, but itâs one of the funnier ones and Hilary Barta delivers energetic, dynamic art as the duo fights against the Octopus King â who is asleep the entire time!
For a debut issue, âSpongeBob Comicsâ is effective at capturing the tone of the show and allowing the creators to present their own takes on the characters at times. It suffers sometimes from not being able to rely on the strengths of animation and, hopefully, will take advantage of the things that comics can do that animation canât, adapting its style to this medium more. Me, Iâm just wondering what sort of look Iâm going to get when I add it to my pull list on Wednesday.

Doug McDermott reveals jersey number after giving Dwyane Wade No. 3
Doug McDermott reveals jersey number after giving Dwyane Wade No. 3
Doug McDermott is going to have to change his Twitter handle.
McDermott, via his @dougmcd3 Twitter account, announced on Friday that he's switching from Jersey No. 3 to No. 11 for the Bulls next season.
July 22, 2016
McDermott, who had worn the No. 3 jersey since his days at Creighton and over the past two seasons in the NBA, unselfishly gave up his number to new Bulls guard and future Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade, who has worn the No. 3 every game throughout his 13-year career.
[SHOP: Get your Doug...Dwyane Wade No. 3 jersey]
As for what Wade had to give up in return? McDermott hasn't revealed his prize.
"It's in the works," McDermott said via K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune.
McDermott becomes the first player to wear the No. 11 jersey on the Bulls since Ronnie Brewer in 2014.
Other notables to wear No. 11 for Chicago include B.J. Armstrong, Sam Vincent, Lindsey Hunter, Clem Haskins and A.J. Guyton.
Derrick Rose believes he's helped form a 'super team' with Knicks
Derrick Rose believes he's helped form a 'super team' with Knicks
I think somebody needs to explain to Derrick Rose what a "super team" is.
In a recent interview with NBA.com, Rose talked about the expectations with his new team — the New York Knicks — and how "they" are saying the Knicks are a super team.
Here's the full quote responding to the question about expectations:
They're high. I mean, with these teams right now, they're saying us and Golden State are the super teams, and they're trying not to build that many super teams, and Adam Silver came out with the statement and this and that. And the expectations I think of us, we just want to win. Talking to Melo and all the guys who've been around. You've got Brandon who just signed for one year, he's got to show why he's there. I've got to show why I'm there. Joakim has to show why he's there. Everybody's trying to prove themselves. When you've got a group like that, it's like, alright, I know everybody wants to do that, but we're going to break this down as simple as possible, and try to win every game. I think winning takes care of every category, as far as being an athlete. You look at endorsements, being on the floor, almost everything — I think winning takes care of all that. And if you're in the league, winning takes care of all the mistakes, or if you have any problems on teams.
So Rose thinks the Knicks — a team that finished 13th in the East and 12 games out of the final playoff spot last season — are a super team now?
And who is "they"? It's hard to imagine even the most optimistic Knicks fan sitting on a barstool declaring this squad a "super team."
[SHOP: Gear up, Bulls fans]
From that team that went 32-50 last season, the Knicks added Rose, Joakim Noah, Courtney Lee, Brandon Jennings and Justin Holliday.
Sure, that looks like it could be a very solid roster with Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis also in the fold and if Rose and Noah show flashes of their former selves, the Knicks may be a force to be reckoned with.
But given the Knicks didn't actually sign Dwyane Wade, not sure how anybody could call that a "super team."
Guess it wouldn't be a basketball offseason without D-Rose putting his foot in his mouth, eh?
Bulls: Carmelo Anthony says Dwyane Wade 'probably' would be with Knicks if decision was made sooner
Bulls: Carmelo Anthony says Dwyane Wade 'probably' would be with Knicks if decision was made sooner
How close were the New York Knicks to signing Dwyane Wade?
Carmelo Anthony says it was a lot closer than you think.
The Knicks star said his team had a realistic chance to sign Wade, and if his decision was made sooner, the Knicks "probably" would have wound up with the three-time NBA champion.
"There was a chance. There was definitely a chance," Anthony said on Wednesday at Team USA training camp. "We would have had to pull a rabbit out of a hat in the 25th hour."
[SHOP: Gear up, Bulls fans]
A lot would have had to happen for the Knicks to land Wade, as they traded for Derrick Rose ($21 million with one year left) and signed Joakim Noah (four years, $72 million), Courtney Lee (four years, $50 million), Brandon Jennings (one year, $5 million) and Lance Thomas (four years, $27 million).
Wade ultimately left the Miami Heat after 13 seasons and signed a two-year, $47 million deal to return to his hometown Bulls.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. Embracing criticism about its selection, Rutgers University affirmed Friday that it will host former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as the commencement speaker at its New Brunswick campus graduation in May.
The university's board of governors approved Rice - and $35,000 compensation - at a Feb. 4 meeting. In the weeks since, criticism has emerged through opinions in the student newspaper, an online petition, and most recently, a resolution passed Feb. 27 by the campus' Faculty Council.
The symbolic measure denounced Rice as having a "prominent role" in President George W. Bush's administration in attempts to "mislead the American people about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."

Saturday, August 4, 2012
This is the best time of the year — when trails are often crowded, dry and dusty and temperatures climb into the 90s — to take advantage of the county's many upper-elevation recreational outlets. Stretching between Highway 35 and Dufur, Road 44 is a long-established route through the densely forested transition zone between southern Hood River and Wasco counties.
Among the many dozen back roads and trails that crisscross through the area, Surveyor's Ridge Trail (#688) is among the oldest and longest and is by far the most scenic.
Surveyor's Ridge Trail offers several out-and-back and loop options for hikers, runners, bikers and horseback riders. In this installment of Get Out, we explore the 13-mile stretch from the south trailhead at Road 620 to the bottom of Oak Ridge Trail at Smullen Road in Mt. Hood.
The trail runs north to south along the ridgeline that separates Hood River and Wasco counties. It starts at about 4,280 feet and ends at about 2,650 feet, and although it has become a popular outing for mountain bikers, it remains a great route on foot. Judging by the signs of larger animals on the trail, it is also still fairly popular on horseback.
Rolling singletrack through thick forests and open meadows, wildflowers and berries lining the trail and sweeping vistas await around every corner. Although it loses elevation overall, the trail is definitely a good hard hike or ride, with plenty of climbing mixed in with rolling downhill sections. It's not until the last mile or two that the trail heads back downhill toward the highway.
Highlights from the trail include an up-close view of Shellrock Mountain, multiple unobstructed vistas of mounts Hood and Adams, Rainier and St. Helens and the option for a short scramble to the top of Rim Rock; the site of a former lookout tower and one of the best places around to have lunch and a quick siesta.
If you run a shuttle from the bottom of Oak Ridge, the last couple miles of trail consist of steep and rocky switchbacks that will give your knees or brakes a good run for their money. It's one last burn before the end of a great adventure.
Other options are to start at the bottom and do an out and back; in which case you'd be better served by starting at the trailhead off Road 630 near the power lines. Road 17, also known as Surveyor's Ridge Road, runs all the way from Pine Mont Drive to Road 44 at Brooks Meadows and is a good option for the way up as it is a steadier grade than the trail. A shorter option is an out and back to the campground at Gibson Prairie, which can be done as an out and back or loop using Road 17.
For an extra workout or as an outing in itself, consider the climb to Bald Butte. The trail heads north from the Road 630 parking area and is a steady climb to the top. Striking views in all directions await as a reward.
Other popular trails in the Road 44 vicinity to check out are: Dog River, Eight Mile, Fifteen Mile, Gunsight Ridge, High Prairie and Knebal Springs.

Anti-Tax Zealot Grover Norquist Is Fine With Letting the Bush Tax Cuts Expire [Updated: No He Isn't?]
Huh. Did not expect that.
Republicans do not like taxes. That much is certain. But one of the reasons Republicans in Congress are so dead set against raising any taxes by any amount on anyone or anything, even if that's what it takes to reach a deal on the debt ceiling and keep the American economy from collapsing, is because their hands have been tied by the Americans for Tax Reform pledge that 95 percent of them have signed. The only thing more unforgivable to ATR than voting to raise taxes is voting to raise taxes after having vowed in writing never to do so. Meanwhile, Democrats demand that any debt-reduction plan must include some kind of new tax revenues, which is why Congress finds itself at an impasse. But maybe the Washington Post has stumbled upon an escape hatch:
With a handful of exceptions, every Republican member of Congress has signed a pledge against increasing taxes. Would allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire as scheduled in 2012 violate this vow? We posed this question to Grover Norquist, its author and enforcer, and his answer was both surprising and encouraging: No.
In other words, according to Mr. Norquist's interpretation of the Americans for Tax Reform pledge, lawmakers have the technical leeway to bring in as much as $4 trillion in new tax revenue — the cost of extending President George W. Bush's tax cuts for another decade — without being accused of breaking their promise. "Not continuing a tax cut is not technically a tax increase," Mr. Norquist told us. So it doesn't violate the pledge? "We wouldn't hold it that way," he said.
The fact that Grover Norquist seems kind of okay with this is a big deal, because he hates taxes more than pretty much anybody. If even he doesn't consider letting the Bush tax cuts expire to be a tax increase, then Republicans in Congress can agree to that with a clean conscience. It's like Michelle Obama telling her kids that carrot cake is technically a vegetable.

GOP's Stubbornness Now Irritating Even Republican Voters
Bill Clinton Would Just Ignore the Debt Ceiling
John McCain Would Neeeever Play Politics With the Debt Ceiling
Update: One year ago, in July 2010, Norquist told Newsmax that letting the Bush tax cuts expire would be "the largest tax increase in American history":
Allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire at the end of this year, as the Democrats plan, will in fact result in "about a trillion-dollar tax increase on the American people over the next decade," Norquist says.
"It would be the largest tax increase in American history, and it would take every marginal tax rate and increase it. The taxes on businesses, on capital gains, would be very high."
So ... ?
Update II: Norquist and the ATR are furiously walking back his remarks to the Washington Post. In an appearance on MSNBC this morning he clarified his position:
Appearing on MSNBC hours after the editorial appeared, Norquist claimed that the Washington Post had selectively quoted him.
"I think they need to follow the rest of the conversation," he said. "Otherwise it wouldn't pass the laugh test to go to the American people and tell them you just allowed $4 trillion dollars in higher taxes by allowing the 2001-2003 lower rates to lapse and tell people that's not a tax increase."
And ATR released a statement which directly contradicts what he's quoted as telling the Post:
ATR opposes all tax increases on the American people. Any failure to extend or make permanent the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, in whole or in part, would clearly increase taxes on the American people. In addition, the failure to extend the AMT patch would increase taxes. The outlines of the plans are deliberately hazy, but it appears that both Obama's Simpson-Bowles commission proposal and the Gang-of-Six proposal dramatically increase taxes on the American people.
It is a violation of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge to trade temporary tax reductions for permanent tax hikes.
The present conversations in Washington should focus totally and exclusively on reducing government overspending. President Barack Obama has increased the annual federal budget by almost $1 trillion dollars. ATR has not altered either its policy positions or opposition to all tax increases whatsoever in any debt negotiations.
Hope you enjoyed that hour of optimism while it lasted.
Updated III: The Post has posted the audio of the interview, confirming that Norquist told them that, while letting the Bush tax cuts expire would be a tax increase, it wouldn't be the type of tax increase that would violate the ATR pledge.

I have been waiting for what seems like a millennia for a resource to help me generate tags
without hand-coding for use in blog posts. Thanks to
Steve Rubel, I finally
found it at ICE -
Improving Customer Experience. It is amazingly simple and requires only that
you type in keywords, select from Technorati, Flickr, Del.icio.us or Furl tags
and that about does it.
