The Process of Articulation Therapy
Posted by Heidi | Filed under Improving Articulation
For those of you that have read some of my previous posts on how to teach specific sounds you may have noticed a pattern. That's because when teaching kids how to say sounds there IS a general pattern I follow even though each specific sound changes. I wanted to outline this for you because if you understand this pattern, it will make teaching the sounds so much easier!
Before I get into the details of this process, please understand that there are many other factors that affect speech intelligibility such as hearing loss, apraxia, oral motor deficits, sensory issues, and phonological processes to name a few, but I will not be addressing any of these here. This post is intended to simply explain the basic structure of articulation therapy and how you can work with your child on their sounds.
So, let's get started! The very first thing I want to know as a Speech Language Pathologist is what sounds does the child have difficulty with. As a parent you could probably list them without a problem. If you do need some help you may want to see a speech pathologist and they can help you identify them. They can do an articulation assessment that will tell you exactly what sounds your child is struggling with, what position of the word (begining, middle or ending) they are struggling with it in, and what sound if any they are substituting it with. They can also tell how your child compares to other children their age. So, after I have outlined the problem sounds I like to check for stimulability.
What is stimulability? A child is "stimulable" if he or she can say the sound in direct imitation of the therapist or parent. If the child is stimulable or can say the sound then you have cause to celebrate. That means your job is going to be so much easier! If the child cannot say the sound, you'll have some work to do. You'll need to teach them how to say the sound. This is called sound elicitation.
Sound Elicitation
Sound elicitation is the process you go through to teach the child how to say the targeted sound. For example, if a child cannot say the /th/ sound in imitation you break down the process for them. You might say, "Put your tongue between your teeth then blow." After the sound is learned, meaning they can say it accurately in imitation of you then practice the sound in isolation.
Sound in Isolation
Practicing a sound in isolation means saying the sound all by itself without adding a vowel. For example, if you are practicing the /t/ sound you would practice saying /t/, /t/, /t/ multiple times in a row. The more accurate repetitions you are able to get your child to produce the better. I am satisfied with 10 accurate repetitions in a row. When you are satisfied they can say the sound in isolation you are ready to move on to syllables.
Sound in Syllables
Practicing a sound in syllables simply means adding each vowel after the target sound, before the target sound, and before and after the target sound, being sure to practice the long and short form of each vowel.
For example if the target sound was /s/ "after the target sound" would be "sa, se, si, so, and su." This is called "initial syllable production", meaning the target sound is in the beginning of the syllable.
If the target sound was /p/ then placing the vowel "before the target sound" would be "ap, ep, ip, op, and up. This is called "final syllable production", meaning the target sound is at the end of the syllable.
If the target sound is /k/ then placing the vowel "before and after the target sound" would be, "ako, eki, ika, oku, and ukee. Of course there are multiple variations. This is called "medial syllable production", meaning the target sound is in the middle of the syllable.
When I introduce the syllables I like to see in which position the child has the easiest time producing the target sound. If the child is the most successful with the target sound in the initial (beginning) position of syllables I will begin work on the target sound in initial position of words. If the child has more success with the target sound in the final position of syllables then I would begin working on the target sound in the final position of words.
So the plan here is to work on the position they are having the most success with but not a position that is currently not a problem for them. For example, a child may exhibit a typical error pattern, or phonological process of final consonant deletion. This means they leave off the ending of most of their words. While the child can say the /m/ sound in the initial position of words with no difficulty, they never say it at the end of words. In this instance it is obvious that the sound in the initial position would not be a problem for them and would not be the place to start. Instead you would most likely begin work on the final position of the word.
Once your child can say the sound in syllables you can move the sound into words.
Sound in Words
At this point you have decided which position of the word you want to target and will begin practicing word cards in the initial, medial or final position of the word. I am satisfied with 80% accurate independent productions before I move on to the next step, which is using the word in a sentence. Meaning, I don't count it as correct if the child says it in imitation of me. If I have to model a word for a child I will often put that word card back in the rotation for them to say again. After all the cards have been said we go back and practice the word cards that were in error.
There are so many ways to make practicing word cards fun. I sometimes make a snake and put a little incentive such as an m&m or a fish cracker every 3-5 cards. I have also fed the cards to puppets after they have been said, hid them around the room and gone on a hunt to look for them, as well as played memory, go fish and other fun card games. Be creative this makes it more fun for both of you!
Sound in Sentences
My favorite way to practice sounds in sentences is with a "rotating sentence". In a rotating sentence only the word card changes. For example, your sentence might read, "Put ________ in pink purse." Then you rotate all your practice cards through the sentence. This is an especially great way to practice sentences for young children who can't read yet. They are able to memorize the sentence, or use visual cues to help them read it aloud. You are also able to maximize the production of your target sound when you use a sentence with two or three target words in it. You may find my sentences for the different sounds on the worksheets page.
With older children, I have them write their own sentences using their target words. When a child has articulated 16/20 or 80% correct I have them move to stories.
Sound in Stories
Practicing the sound in stories is not a step that is typically recommended. In fact it is more common to move straight from sentences to conversation. I have found that with the addition of this step I have more success moving the sound into conversation.
For my younger children I like to prepare a story for them to practice using the sound cards they have been practicing. You may use the stories I have created on my worksheets page. I try to include as many picture clues as I can so young children can retell the story without being able to read.
I have asked older clients to write their own stories using the word cards. They usually come up with very creative stories that are very entertaining for both of us.
After the child has mastered reading the story aloud with 80% accuracy I have them retell me the story without reading it. This is just another small step toward getting an accurate production of the target sound in conversation. Once they can do this I move them to conversation.
Sound in Conversation
In the therapy setting this step can be a little more tricky. I like to use a conversation jar. I have probably 200+ questions in my conversation jar that get my clients talking and telling me all about themselves. It also gives me a more controlled environment where I can track their progress in conversation. You may also consider centering conversation topics around some of the target words they have mastered. However you decide to do it be sure to set a specified time to focus on the correct production of the target sound during conversation. Be sure to correct any inaccurate productions of the target sound at this time.
Once the sound has been mastered in words, sentences, stories and in conversation you want to watch for generalization across all the contexts of language. If the child you are working with seems to be having difficulty generalizing the target sound go back and practice the words, sentences and stories again until they are able to produce the sound correctly in daily speech.
A quick review… First practice the sound in isolation, then in syllables, words, sentences, stories, conversation and finally generalizing the target sound in all contexts of language. When this pattern is followed the child has a greater likelihood of success. The only thing that changes in this process is how to elicit the different sounds. This basic pattern of how to teach the sounds remains the same.
I hope this will give you a good starting point in working with the "misarticulations" in your child's speech. Remember to be patient, and to make it fun!

Hello Heidi,
Thank you for your website/blog. It helps and definitely give parents brighter ideas that cost the least. If a child has delayed speech, due to ASD what are more effective, simpler ways or techniques to teach or make him blow bubbles or which oral/motor exercise could possibly help in making a child produce air in circular lips position? As stated, blowing bubbles are one of the ways to also help speech. Thank you for your kindness. and I hope you will have more sharing to come!! (It goes back anyway….in a hundred-fold or more)
Hi, thank you for sharing your worksheets on speech therapy sounds. However, I noticed that some of the worksheets in the S Sounds, S Blends, and TH Sounds links were not working correctly. I though I'd let you know. Thank you again for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us. :D
Hi Heidi,
I'm so happy to have found your website! My son, who is 2 weeks shy of turning 6, has had a lisp (/s/ and /z/ become /th/) since he learned to talk (early). At around 3 I showed him how to say /sh/ correctly and he has never looked back. Everyone I've talked to has said not to bring it up and just be patient and he'll grow out of it. He is very smart, currently reading at a 3rd grade level, and very vocal. I just don't want this to become such a habit that he can't overcome it later and it becomes a problem. I appreciate all of the information and advice you've given (for free!) and can't wait to start working on it with him in a relaxed, fun way! Thank you!! I'll be sure to let you know how it goes :)
Hi Heidi-
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for making this blog. I can't tell you how much this article has been helpful to me. I currently work as an ABA Tutor for a child with autism- and he's doing great- the only thing is that I can't understand very much of what he says because he doesn't pronounce certain sounds- and it all seems random. He can say the "M" in some words but not in others- things like that. I was talking to my aunt, who is a teacher, and she told me that some speech pathologists don't worry about certain sounds for three and four year olds because it's not developmental. I understand that some sounds are developmental, but there are many sounds that this child should be able to say. (I think.) I took a quick preassessment to see what sounds he had trouble with and I came up with this list (I haven't tried your initial and final method- all of these are the short version if they are vowels): a, e, f, j, m, q, r, t, v, w, z, ch, sh, and th. I understand that probably ch, sh, and th are sounds he's not developmentally ready for- but I definately think he could say m, r, t, v, w, and z. (At least.) I was telling his Mother today about how I wished there was some strategy or pattern that I could use so that I could help him- I've only got 6 months until I student teach and I want him to get as much out of tutoring as possible. Then I went home and found your website- and WOW! This completely fits into my program- I will be able to use discrete trial with it, make a target list, track progress, and everything. It lays everything out for me in an easy-to-follow strategy. I know that there will still be some sounds that are beyond my teaching capabilities. (I'm sure J will be hard,) but at least I can help him a little.
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise in a very clear, practical, easy to understand manner. You have encouraged me. My son has a myriad of issues, used to have speech therapy through the 0-3 and then the public preschool program, but now, at 7, and homeschooled, we can't afford therapy. I had his articulation tested at 6 and he scored at a 3% with many errors. It was recommended he have therapy 2x a week. However, he has consistently made steady improvements even without it. Since he is so self-aware of his errors, he has been able to work on some of them intuitively, and will tell me with excitement when he discovers he can articulate a sound he once could not. I also continue to use tips and exercises I learned from his therapists. I'm looking for resources to help him cement continued improvements and encouragement that I can do this at home in a fun, gentle way! Thanks again for sharing valuable info and encouragement – God bless!!
Can I just say finding your site has MADE MY DAY!!! I graduated with an undergraduate degree in SLP/AUD, Comm. Disorders but ended up having babies instead of pursuing my certification. ;) However, I continue to have a love of speech development and all things communication disorders. Two of my three kiddos are now preschool age and I am starting the journey of homeschooling them. Your site is an amazing tool for me! I love your articles, your practical tips, and your encouraging and comforting tone! Keep up the good work! Grateful for you, and the work you're doing in maintaining this site!!!
Take care :)
What a fantastic web site. I am a Speech Therapy Assistant in a Primary School and love your worksheets. The information and advice that you provide is fantastic!! Keep up the great work!! So far I have transformed two children with problems pronouncing the "L" sound with your help and support from your website!! Thankyou sooooo much!
Thank you so much for the ideas and printables. I am a SLP in a new school setting – Thanks!
dear Heidi,
There are no words to describe how ecstatic, excited and relieved I am to found your blog. I have been searching like crazy for something exactly like this, that can get me started on teaching my son, who has speech delay and for some unfortunate reasons reasons we have no access to any speech pathologist for now. The tools you have described are so easy and practical to follow that I am very confident I will not lose even one day for the care, attention and teaching my precious baby needs. THANK YOU so much from the bottom of my heart.
God bless you
Dear Heidi
Thank you for making my life so much less daunting. We live in Spain, my kids are bilingual and both have problems with articulation, a fact their teachers acknowledge (especially lisping s) but tell me it doesn't matter for their English since none of the Spanish kids can pronounce English well…. A speech therapist told me to work at home in a calm fashion with the boys but was struggling to come up with words and games. Now thanks to you we have our fun time all sorted.
Thank you for making such resources available to us non-professionals – there aren't words to describe how much easier it makes our lives when you give you time and knowledge so freely.
Next trip home no one is going to have to ask my kids to repeat themselves :-)
So glad to find your blog. I have twin boys that we adopted from China about 18 months ago. Both with cleft palates. They were 3 when we brought them home (almost 5 now) and had had no language skills to speak of. We have had two major surgeries for them and they are in speech twice a week. Their receptive language is wonderful. They just don't want to put multiple word together at all. Lot's of one word at a time talking and sounds effects. Really looking for ways to make this "fun" because they dread seeing their speech folder. Please feel free to email me any ideas you have.
Hi Heidi,
Like many others, I love your site. I love the name and the concept behind it. I am a SPED preschool teacher and I will be recommending your site to all of my families.
Most of my students (2-3 years old) have speech delays, along with other disabilities (DS, ASD, etc.) I like the pinwheel analogy you use to explain how to work on speech sounds. However, I find that using board maker pictures help my students to make those initial sounds more readily, instead of waiting until the 3rd step of your process before showing pictures. Even if a child does not have any sounds/language, and I was teaching the /b/ sound, I would pull out my flashcards with words like ball, bubbles, etc. on them. As I show the card, I model the word and encourage the student to imitate the sound, lip formation, or whatever the child can do. I may also have the real object and whatever sound or attempt they make, I use it to teach requesting behaviors as well. Keep up the good work!
Hello Heidi,
I just happened across your website as I am a speech therapist with a bachelor's degree and back in the school system after a few years. Recreating everything and getting therapy back in order is a chore and I am glad to have found your sight. My articulation therapy has always been what I see here for the most part from isolation to conversation. I am trying to put together a good way of data collection for articulation and language. The school paperwork is challenging enough and I have been trying to fine tune a data collection form for a while now. Can you help me with this? Any help would be appreciated and I look forward to revisiting your site often.
ur presentation on articulation therpy is vry interesting. i am very impressed. thanks for this information. i will apply this therapy on my patients in pakistan.
Hi Heidi, This is is not just another website that we browse by and then forget the tips when we leave it. It has substance that are complete and changes the day to day life of parents like me. My son is going to be 7 in july and is attending speech in his school. Now he gets all the sounds except /sh/,/ch/,/j/. At home I have started SH elicitation today as per your directions. Recently he got /s/ and /z/(not completely accurate :( ). Since s is not accurate, he gets /sh/ from ee. We are practicing daily and hoping we will get it. Can I start /ch/ simultaneously or after he gets sh? At school he is doing ch and sh now. I want to do too because it can be more effective if done both at school and home. Your words on this is valuable. :) Thankyou so much.
Thank you so much for your website! My son just turned 4 and has trouble saying "k" and "g" sounds primarily. Also has trouble with "s" and "s" blends. At his 4 year old check up I had the dr write us a referral to a speech therapist. We cannot get in for 2 months, so these tools will be of great help,to start today at home. I have taken notes on sounds he cannot say, what sound he substitutes them with, to be prepared for our first visit. I am excited to begin this journey of helping my son over come these problems. Thank you so much for having so much information that is easy for parents to understand, materials that are fun for our children and gives us the confidence that we can help our children.
I need some advice for my son he is 6 years old and having some issue with speech, don't know where to start.
Great, very helpful blog post on articulation..thanks for helping us through your blog..God bless
Simply superb! I am going to use your recommendations for my 6 year old. she has problem with K, Kh, G and Gh sounds and I hope straw exercise and practice with the worksheets would help. Are there any other methods/tools that can be of help. Please advise.
You are really making a difference to so many of us! God bless you.
To Heidi,
I am from Australia, I have a son that is 5 years old and will be starting school next year. we have been attending speech therapy on and off for the past year through community health clinics. my son has trouble pronouncing the 'g' and 'k' sounds. i am trying to find different ways to help my son and i was wanting some advice…. do i need to have my son be able to say the 'g' and 'k' sounds on their own before we can try and practice the sounds in words such as 'cat' and 'gate'??? do you have any tips on how to deal with my son when he gets frustrated that he cant do this and gives up or 'shuts down' and does not want to try anymore. which sound would you recommend we try to teach him first. any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Wow, your website is incredible. Just what I have been looking for. I feel like crying because I am so happy I found it.
My daughter is almost 3 and has been in articulation therapy for 4 months because she leaves off final sounds on almost every word. I feel that the process has been slow and she has only slightly improved. We are feeling very discouraged and not sure if she is with the right speech therapist for her. How would I know? How fast should children progress in speech? Our speech therapist is teaching her multiple endings such as p/m/n/t and more at the same time. Would it be easier for my daughter to master one and then move on to the next final sound? Sorry for all the questions, we just feel at a loss. I feel as though her speech is holding her back.
Your sight is amazing. We live in Utah county and I was wondering if you have any openings for speech? You can send me an email if so.
Thank you for this amazing site. It really does make me feel like I can help my daughter and home and that we are not alone in this speech therapy process.
Hi Heidi,
It feels great and very satisfying after reading you blog.You have helped me a lot.If you can give some facial muscles exercise tips for enhancing speech of a down syndrome kid of 9 year age,then it would be great.
Thank you so much for the downloadable worksheets! my 3.5 y.o. son is in speech, but only 1x per week for 20 minutes. He's been having a really hard time with the F and S blends, which we've been working on for 6 months! The Worksheets are basically the same thing his therapist uses in his sessions. I haven't been able to find something that works for him, but now I can work with him at home because they are similar to his session. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Thanks for the great website, Heidi! I am an SLP in the public school setting in WI, and have found many helpful links and new activities to try with my elementary kiddos. I love your pinwheel idea for "The Process of Articulation Therapy," but I think you should add a step #7 – "generalization." Many of my kiddos fly through the isolation, syllable, and word sections, and become a little more challenged when we get to sentences, stories and conversations. However, they tend to get "stuck" when they think about transferring their (now correctly-produced) sounds outside of the therapy room. I have students who will see me come into their classroom and say, "Uh-oh, now I need to use my good speech sounds!" Generalization is the last, but perhaps most important, piece of the "speech puzzle" and they need to understand that their good speech sounds need to be correctly produced not only in the therapy room, but everywhere! Thanks again for your website, I look forward to coming back to find new things!
My daughter cannot say the SK sound. She pronounces the word school as sool and the words scale as sale. Do you have any suggestions for me on what exercises I may try with her to help her. She is starting kindergarten in the fall. She is currently in pre-school and went through the screening process but was not referred to speech therapy.
Thank you.
I work with preschoolers. I have been searching for a way to help parents practice their child's sound in sentences and conversation. And it is great not to have to reinvent the wheel. I have been practicing speech therapy for a while and it is so nice to be able to find new ideas and also not have to spend so much time making your own materials all the time. I use to spend a lot of time making my own materials so the internet and sharing between other therapists is soooo helpful. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much Heidi for your wonderful site. I just stumbled upon it by accident and I have to say it is quite literally an answer to my prayers. I have a granddaughter who was born 10 weeks premature with some complications that required her at have an operation at a week old. She has taken a while to catch up to her peers but is doing really well now at two and a half other than her speech development. Living in Canada, we are fortunate to have free screening and therapy up to three years old (the therapy continues for free if needed through the school system). Her parents seem unconcerned about it as her old sister talked late. I feel it would be best to have her checked to see if there is a problem because I believe early intervention is the key. I could go on but the long and short of it is thank you for providing a way that I can help this little girl articulate her words. I get to see her quite often and I am sure this is going to help her tremendously. Thank you for taking the time to put it all together. It is very much appreciated.
Excellent web. page
Great Information!
Thanks for sharing with us
I am looking forward to incorporating these techniques and worksheets more formally into my 4-year-old girl's home preschool. She was born with a cleft palate and required a second surgery to correct speech. Have you ever worked with cleft palate children? We're doing pretty well correcting her b's, d's, f's, a little trouble on t's which she tends to do in her throat, and s, sh, j, ch, g are all in her throat since that is the substitution she chose since she couldn't make the sound. Any tips/advice unique to cleft palates? She is supposed to see a speech pathologist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, but we've had trouble getting scheduled, and though they are excellent, I don't get the sense they try to educate parents much about how they can help. Speech is something that I have always been fascinated with probably since it's related to singing and music which is closer to my area of expertise.
Heidi, you have awesome resources here. Thanks! I'm wondering when a parent should decide its time for professional intervention. My four and a half year old has issues with many sounds, including /f/, /s/ combos, /th/, /o/, /y/, /v/ and /l/. She is a very bright girl and I think it is causing her frustration, especially at school. My gut is that it's time even though I've been told it can wait until kindergarten. What do you think? In the mean time, we will definitely start using some if your worksheets!!
I have searched online for so long looking for a way to help my 7 yr old daughter with her speech. Unfortunately, our resources are limited, therefore our options are limited. My daughter has struggled with TH words and V words and now she is entering the 3rd grade and kids make fun at how she pronounces words and she has become self-conscious. Your website is AWESOME. We have begun to use your excercises.
Hi. I have a couple of questions. I work in the school system and work with gifted students. One of them is working in /r/ and the other is working on /s/ and /z/. What is the best way to target r? He can do it in all levels but still has difficulty in conversations and carry over. I need a good resource for /r / and what games to play because they are 5th grade gifted speech kiddos.
Thank you so much for this! I've had my daughter's initial assessment along with some weekly sessions. I am unable at this point to continue, although she still needs the therapy. This is wonderful! You have provided the necessary tools for me to continue speech therapy with my daughter . Thank you so much!
My daughter is 4.5 and experiencing the same problem I see many of the other moms here describing; she cannot say her /s/ sound. Instead it is always a /th/. I have been working with her for a couple weeks in a gentle manner trying to keep it low stress, but with no improvement. She just does not say /s/ at all – even in isolation. What should I do? Seek professional help? This seems to be the only sound she has trouble forming, and I don't mean to be overly concerned…
Thank you so much for creating this blog and helping us moms!
hi! this is dr laxmi here and m serving in army as an eye specialist! my son is 2year 6mths old and does not speak except for mum and baba! doctor said mild autism but i cdnt find any such symptom! how to improve his speech !
My four year old has recently started adding -a to the end of words. Mommy-a, daddy-a, pee pee-a, any ideas????
I'm not sure if you'll get this but do you have a printable of the pinwheel above. Or do you know where I could find a student-friendly version to help track them track their progress?
Many Thanks – your blog is UHH-Mazzing!!
Just found the pinwheel :) Thank you!! Oh thank you!!!
My son was just diagnosed with articulation disorder and of our three other children this is the first time we've had to deal with something related to speech. We're a little nervous and we are in the process of learning more about this. He'll be three in May and because of the closeness to his third birthday we have to work through the school system. Unfortunately we are moving in two months so we will not be able to really settle with any specialists in the short time we have here. But long story short, I just want to say thank you for your website, it is by far the most complete and helpful I've found as I've been researching these past few days. I'm learning so many new things and ways to help him, thank you again.
Hi! My daughter is four and has been in speech therapy for a little over a year. She has issues with transitioning from one sound to another. For example if you ask her to say "puppy's eat grass" she will say "puppy eat pass," or if asked to say "fish swim in puddles" she will say "fis sim in fuddle." We repeat sentences like the ones mentioned to help her to practice transitioning to different sounds, but I am wondering if there could be more going on contributing to her speech delay. She has been evaluated, but they said that she just has a speech delay and there is no underlying reason. What do you think?

HILO (AP) - Independence Day revelers in Hilo had to wait more than 40 minutes for their Fourth of July fireworks show and then never got to see the promised grand finale. A pyrotechnician is blaming a computer glitch for the problems.
The show was set to start at 8 p.m., but the fireworks didn't start exploding until about 8:45 p.m., the Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported. The show lasted six to eight minutes, and there was no apparent finale.
Donald Pascual of Hawaii Explosives and Pyrotechnics had promised "10 minutes of spectacular pyrotechnics" when he spoke to the newspaper last month.
He said Sunday that his computers crashed.
"All of our equipment is fairly brand new. We've got a top-of-the-line firing system. Basically, there was a fail in there," Pascual said.
Pascual plans to put on another show in Hilo this summer to make it up to residents. A date for the new show will be announced later, he said.
The Hilo show cost about $33,000. The Hawaii Fire Department paid for a little more than half using revenue from individual fireworks permits. Another $10,000 came from the contingency fund of Hawaii County Council Chairman J. Yoshimoto. Hilo Jaycees paid the remaining $6,000.

Eric A. Gordon: The amazing rise of popular activism over the last year or so is an encouraging sign, especially as much of it is linked to the organized labor movement and to faith and community groups.
Fifty Young Progressive Activists Who Are Changing America
Peter Dreier: In the next decade, America will be transformed by a new wave of progressive activism, led primarily by organizers, thinkers, and politicians born after 1960.
To Rebuild the American Dream, Put Pressure On Democrats
Randy Shaw: A progressive coalition that claims to be "Bigger than the Tea Party" must hold Democrats accountable as effectively as conservatives do for Republicans .
Public Universities Join Attack on Progressive Activism
Randy Shaw: Just as Governor Walker is making headlines by attacking a liberal institution in a traditionally liberal state (you would not likely see nationwide protests over attacks on workers in Alabama or Georgia), school administrators in progressive cities like Santa Cruz and Santa Monica are also attacking progressive student activism.
Obama Wooing Economic Royalists
Norman Solomon: The best way to defeat right-wing xenophobic "populism" is to build genuine progressive populism. In the process, we can draw on the spirit of the New Deal.
Looking Forward
Norman Solomon: Deficit commission co-chairs Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles are pushing scenarios that would undermine Social Security, while all sorts of contorted rationales are in the air for continuing the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.
As Nation Moves Left, Media Stuck in Past
Despite Barack Obama's victory and polls showing strong support for a progressive agenda, the traditional media is "staying the course" in presenting the news. While the blogosphere pokes fun at the FOX News-created "tea parties" on April 15, CNN and other media are giving wide coverage to these fake protests, ignoring legitimate protests and rallies […]

Funding Canceled
Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on November 28, 2012.
The Tiger Cam 3D microscope lets you explore objects up close in 3D on your digital TV.
Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on November 28, 2012.
Tiger Cam works with your own TV to view objects magnified up close in 3D.
Ordinary objects come to life like you have never seen them before when you view them up close with Tiger Cam. Seeing this tiny world with a regular magnifier or microscope is fascinating, but wait until you see this amazing world up close with incredible 3D depth.
Tiger Cam and Viewing Base Prototype
The Tiger Cam Viewing Base has 6 degrees of Freedom for viewing objects at different angles.
Breakout dongle which connects everything together. The production version will be smaller and combined with the battery box.
Using the included TigerEye wireless 3D glasses, you can view high-definition full color 3D live motion images of any object put in front of the Tiger Cam.
Tiger Cam works with your standard digital television to display vivid 3D images. You don't need a 3D compatible TV to use Tiger Cam. The TigerEye 3D glasses work with a standard digital TV! Tiger Cam connects with an HDMI cable to your digital TV. You can also use Tiger Cam with CRT analog TVs using a composite video cable.
Since the TigerEye 3D glasses are wireless, the Tiger Cam will work with as many glasses as you want so you and others can view 3D video from the Tiger Cam together.
The Tiger Cam produces live 3D images on your TV by actually viewing objects in stereoscopic vision at a magnified level. Tiger Cam works with powered active shutter LCD glasses to let you view 3D images split into both left and right eye perspectives displayed on your TV. The TigerCaster wireless transmitter signals the TigerEye 3D glasses when to change the view from one eye to the other at the right moment the image for that eye is shown on your TV. The high resolution CMOS camera inside the Tiger Cam captures images from both eyes' perspective in vivid full color HD video. Since each of your eyes sees a slightly different HD video image, the perceived image quality is actually greater than that of viewing standard 2D video. Since Tiger Cam connects to your digital television with a digital uncompressed video link, the images from the camera sensor are preserved and the image quality is very sharp. If you use a CRT TV, the high resolution image sensor in the Tiger Cam can deliver broadcast-quality images on NTSC and PAL televisions. The Tiger Cam has its own built in 6 direction illuminator, so objects can be illuminated to provide a wide 3D viewing angle.
Tiger Cam uses our custom designed image processing gate array managed by a soft core CPU. (We made the CPU a 6502 because what more would anyone need?) There is also an SDRAM on board for frame buffering and scaling of image frames. The TMDS digital video signals are driven directly from the gate array. An external NTSC/PAL encoder chip is used for the composite video output.
Two 720p CMOS image sensors, one for each eye view, capture the live video images and are then multiplexed, enhanced, and sent through to the video output. Six white LEDs provide illumination. This consistent lighting allows the cameras to be calibrated to a known light source to provide the best image quality.
We developed our own IR signaling for the 3D wireless glasses to trigger the LCD shutters for each eye. The 3D glasses have an 8 bit controller to receive the IR signal and control the LCD shutters. (You guessed it- another 6502.)
• Tiger Cam hand-held camera head: The Tiger Cam camera head is used to view objects and has the built-in Tiger Cam video controls.
• Tiger Cam viewing base: Tiger Cam can also be docked in the viewing base. This base gives you 6 degrees of freedom to manipulate objects and focus at different viewing depths.
• Tiger Caster wireless transmitter: This is used to connect the Tiger Cam wirelessly to TigerEye Wireless 3D Glasses.
• Tiger Cam breakout dongle. This connects all the components together, and has the plugs for composite video and HDMI cables.
• TigerEye Wireless 3D Glasses: Every system will come with TigerEye wireless 3D glasses. The number of pairs included varies by your pledge amount. Batteries will be included with all pairs.
• Wall power supply: We will include a wall power supply so you can power the Tiger Cam system when batteries are not used.
• HDMI Cable: An HDMI cable is included to connect the Tiger Cam to your digital TV. (A composite video cable is not included with the system. A standard RCA video cable can be used for CRT TV users.)
• Specimen Jar and Petri Dish: You can put your objects for viewing in these included accessories.
• Tiger Cam Manual: A full user manual will be included with the system, and will also be available online.
We are seeking funding to allow us to produce Tiger Cam on our own. Production of a product like Tiger Cam requires a large capital investment. We work closely with many contract manufacturers to bring products we develop to market, but production is usually funded by our clients. Tiger Cam is our own original product, and we are bringing it to the Kickstarter community to help us raise the funds to allow our company to fully fund its production independently. Tooling and product materials can be very costly, and we also are preparing to secure required licenses for digital TV HDMI that have a five-figure cost per year alone. We will use our backers' pledges to fund tooling for injection molding of the many Tiger Cam components, and to fund the materials and manufacturing cost for our first production run. We have great experience bringing electronic consumer products through production to market, and we are looking forward to teaming up with Kickstarter to help us with the production of Tiger Cam. Most of all, we are excited to get Tiger Cam out on the market for everyone to enjoy.
If we reach a bonus funding goal of $320,000 we will integrate an SD card slot into every Tiger Cam system which will let you save 3D snapshots and share them with other Tiger Cam owners. Trade 3D pictures online which you can then view with other Tiger Cams. You will also be able to view 3D photo content from other sources. You will even be able to view 3D space photos from NASA on your Tiger Cam!
• Camera resolution: 1280x720
• Digital TV picture resolution: HD 720p for both left/right eye view
• Composite video resolution: 720x480
• Digital video output: HDMI
• Composite video output: NTSC/PAL
• Image magnification: 100x for a 30" TV
• Power: 7VDC wall power supply (120V/240V) or 5xAA batteries
• 3D Glasses: IR controlled active-shutter LCD
• 3D Glasses power: 6V (two lithium coin batteries)

Tiger Cam could be used not only as a toy, a nice gadget but also at conferences or in the classrooms.
The Tiger Cam electronics and optics design are complete. These are the critical technologies which make Tiger Cam a reality and we have developed and tested these technologies over the past few years and are confident we have conquered any obstacles with the design. We don't anticipate any concerns with development of the final industrial design for tooling and molding. These will mainly be aesthetic forms and we look forward to making a great looking product with superior functionality.
We already have contract manufacturers/factories available to produce the Tiger Cam in volume. Our CMs are enthusiastic and will work with us to manufacture a great product.
We realize that some of the components used to build Tiger Cam can have significant lead times (sometimes quoted in months!) and we will take special attention to make sure that we secure all the component inventory we need to meet our manufacturing timeline. We have designed the Tiger Cam with a flexible electronics platform to make it adaptable for multiple component sources as a contingency plan.
Tiger Cam is a consumer electronics product, and is subject to radio interference and safety regulations in various world markets. We have factored in the process of testing for both EMI standards and safety regulations for the world market. There is some uncertainty in the production design pending these tests. We will work to adjust our production design as quickly as possible if needed to meet these standards so we can comply.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Tiger cam works the same way a 3D television does, but since it does not have to show action movies or fast motion it works great with the 60 frames per second display rate of a standard TV. Using this standard frame rate also helps to keep the cost of the 3D glasses lower than those usually required for a 3D TV.
Tiger cam video output is 720p HD format in 16 million colors. The apparent resolution of the video screen is actually much greater because both of your eyes see their own HD video picture.
Tiger Cam magnifies objects and displays them enraged on your TV screen. The magnification of the object depends on the size of your TV. For reference, an object will be magnified about 125 times when displayed on a 40 inch TV.
Tiger cam presents magnified video in 3D centered on the image plane of your television. 3D viewing can be uncomfortable for some viewers when there is a large difference between the depth of the 3D imagery and the distance to the actual display screen. Your eyes will focus on the images from the Tiger Cam the same way they do during normal TV viewing which provides a very comfortable experience for the viewer.
Tiger cam is powered with wall adapter power supply which is included with a Tiger Cam system. It can also be used with five AA batteries. (batteries not included!)
Yes! Tiger cam can either display standard video on your TV with it's own Tiger Eye 3D glasses or it can output 3D video which will work with your 3D TV and it's own compatible 3D glasses.
Yes, Tiger Cam has both a 2D and 3D display mode. We used the 2D mode in the project video since you would see the double image in 3D mode without 3D glasses.

USDA Agricultural Baseline Projections to 2009
Stay Connected
Outlook No. (WAOB-001) 147 pp, February 2000
This report provides long-run baseline projections for the agricultural sector through 2009. Projections cover agricultural commodities, agricultural trade, and aggregate indicators of the sector, such as farm income and food prices. The projections are based on specific assumptions regarding macroeconomic conditions, policy, weather, and international developments. The baseline assumes that there are no shocks due to abnormal weather or other factors affecting global supply and demand. The projections assume that current agricultural law of the 1996 Farm Act remains in effect throughout the baseline. The baseline projections presented are one representative scenario for the agricultural sector for the next decade. As such, the baseline provides a point of departure for discussion of alternative farm sector outcomes that could result under different assumptions. The projections in this report were prepared in October through December 1999, reflecting a composite of model results and judgmental analysis.
Keywords: Projections, baseline, crops, livestock, trade, farm income, food prices

Counties with fastest pay growth, third quarter 2005
April 18, 2006
Among the largest counties, Passaic, New Jersey (an area north of Newark), led the nation in growth in average weekly wages in the third quarter of 2005, with an increase of 19.0 percent from the third quarter of 2004.
Fort Bend, Texas (in the Houston metropolitan area), was second with 15.4 percent growth, followed by the county of Boulder, Colorado with a growth rate of 13.8 percent. Average weekly wages in the counties of San Mateo, California (which is in the San Francisco Bay area) and Harrison, Mississippi (which includes the cities of Biloxi and Gulfport) grew 12.7 percent.
The average weekly wage growth rate for Harrison County Mississippi and the 10.7-percent wage gain for Orleans, Louisiana, were boosted as a result of the disproportionate job and pay losses in lower-paid industries following Hurricane Katrina.
Over the year, the national average weekly wage rose by 6.1 percent.
The BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program produced these data, which are preliminary and subject to revision. Data presented here are for all workers covered by State and Federal unemployment insurance programs.

Well, none that are exclusive to the Wii, but then outside of Nintendo, people want to make as much money as possible, and would program for multiple platforms anyway.Originally Posted by Sovieto
What does anyone do when they beat a single player adventure/story based game? It's not a problem with Metroid, it's part of the type of game it is.nintendo did get mp3 at the end of summer but thats a AAA title from nintendo but once they beat that and are done with it, what do they do?
So what you're saying is that because Nintendo make such good quality games, people always look forward to the next one, and that this is somehow a problem?look forward to the next AAA title, which would be another nintendo game, yes this is mostly the third parties fault but its also ingrained in the nintendo fans head to constantly look forward to the next AAA title being released by nintendo.
True, but then the Wii is getting more support than the Gamecube got, and are generally in better standing overall.AAA titles define consoles and yes there are great games coming but all the AAA titles are from nintendo and nintendo cant hold keep people hooked with just their games, as history shows.
I didn't miss the entirity of your post. I disagreed with it. And my last question was based on pretty much every comment you've said on this forum. No matter what the subject, you always fall on the "anti-Nintendo" front.your last comment is totally unneeded, its your fault you missed the entirety of my post--and who cares if this is down on the wii? this article is DOWN on the wii, obviously it seems like things that i put out--which mostly arent my personal opinions or opinions at all is right on.
Oh, and Wii's have still been selling out, massively. Not to mention that developers are continually adding to the collection. There is no evidence of slowdown whatsoever, so there is evidently no fact to base this "downer" on, and therefore can only be subject to someone's very personal opinion.
Not far off one year on and it's still selling out. I don't really take that as a bad sign.
If this was a really truthful piece, they would have made an article on the PS3 failing (lack of backwards compatibility, plenty of stocks, massive price cuts, etc...).
Oh, and this whole AAA title palava: A game doesn't have to have a big budget or be well advertised to be good. There's plenty of games coming that aren't AAA that look like fun.

One of the biggest impacts the Senior Games has is how it positively affects the local economy. Though you probably will see several locals running around the valley during this time, you'll also see many unfamiliar faces. And talking to them, you may just find out they've come from hundreds of miles away.
So we wonder, is it simply just the need for competition that creates such a huge tourism boost or something else?
"So people are traveling here from long distances, from as far as California, Texas, South Dakota to participate in Senior Games because they want to see Hell's Canyon," said Washington Idaho Volunteer Center Director, Barbara Bush.
Yes, the beautiful sights of Hell's Canyon are something many want to see in their lifetime, and in this case, it's certainly helping stimulate our local economy.

Even though the relationship that was Garmin-Asus has ceased, that hasn't stopped Dick Smith stocking the Garmin-Asus A50 for Optus Prepaid and selling it at a low $199, which appears to be the current price for Android prepaid devices. The device is very navigation oriented, so if you enjoy travelling this just might be the prepaid phone for you, just make sure you're on Optus as this little baby is all locked up.
About Buzz Moody
dick smith is getting a lot of cheap android handsets out recently.
G Bonney
I just purchased one from Dick Smith and it is unlocked, Telstra & Virgin both work fine in the Optus Garmin A50. 🙂
Hi G Bonney
You've noted that the Garmin A50 is unlocked.
How did your phone packaging come in.
Was it wrapped with an Optus Pre-Paid cover?
Strange that the small print says that the phone is locked – but it is actually unlocked.
I'm going to buy one if it is really unlocked.
G Bonney
Yep, has the Optus wrapper, great phone and GPS.
It is Android 1.6, 2.1 is supposedly coming shortly.
I will wait for reviews on 2.1 as it works so well on 1.6.
Android 2.1 unlocks the Garmin-Asus A50 for all those worried about it being locked.
The Garmin Asus is partially locked, I can make phone calls but have not got the internet connection functioning yet. I think its just a matter of setting up the APN. Not sure. Any ideas?
John M
Donna, Depending on which sim or telco, you would have to set up APN (access point) in settings
Settings> Wireless Manager> Data> Access Point Names> New APN
Yes donna you are correct in needing to set an apn
at first i was also convinced the A50 was partially locked, however this is not the case. I actually rang my provider for them to send me the settings for my data/mms but was greeted with the same message i got from optus, that the phone wasnt in there data base and could not give me the settings
However this is how
You will need to
Settings> Wireless Manager> Data> Access Point Names> New APN
Then visit http://hdmp4.com/APN and find the settings for your Providers
You may also do the same for your mms if this isnt working (mine was not) But you may need to google your providers mms settings
Hope this helps you get full functionality of your phone

THE MESSAGE from the parents and students who poured into City Council chambers yesterday was clear: Save our schools.
Facing a $629 million deficit for the fiscal year that starts July 1, the Philadelphia School District plans drastic cuts to teachers and programs, if it doesn't get some 11th-hour help.
Superintendent Arlene Ackerman this week asked Council and the mayor to provide an additional $75 million to $110 million to help stave off some painful cuts, like slashing full-day kindergarten. Mayor Nutter has stressed his support for the request, although he has not specified how the city could provide the money.

i'll never forget wal mart's move in the 90's. this one is even more spectacular. if Amazon can go global they really could beat out Wally World for the title of "greatest revenue generator in history." be interesting to see how they structure their logistics operation.
13761362, your comparison to WalMart leaves out one important detail. Even in the 90s when WalMart was growing revenue like Amazon is now, WalMart made money. They never used the argument that they couldn't make money because they were investing for the future. Why is it that Amazon can't grow revenue and still rack up profits like WalMart? Amazon is losing money and has seen steadily decreasing earnings for three years, yet it's stock is near all time highs. Something is wrong with this picture.
Look at their FCF shrink! Stock will probably go to $400 when they have to have another stock offering and dilute their shareholders.
Loss on product sales after fulfillment increased from 53mm to 294mm. Predictable result of sales taxes and competition making it impossible to grow sales without producing more losses. Horrible business model but it has been great for stockholders because of the great mystery of why the stock ignores fundamentals.
I'm a short but come on! At least other stocks earn something or have something to hang their hat on. Joke was that bankruptcy would add 100+ dollars to this stock. Sadly seems the joke is on us(1% of those short on the stock). Seems true now. Hitting chapter 11 is a good thing in the "new" normal lol.

The most important licenseMarch 07,2014
The most important license
A few weeks ago I read about how massage therapists might have to become licensed. Hmm, not a bad idea since they, like anyone who tends to your body, might damage you in some way. And even though insurance exists for people who do such work, the state still has the right to ask the person doing the tending to have such licenses. Then I thought about all the licenses people have to get for doing various things: being a doctor, dentist, nurse, driving a car, hunting, fishing, plumbing, hairdressing, selling alcohol ... you get the idea. It seems that a person who wants to do anything that might hurt someone else must have a license.
A few weeks later I read about the 2-year-old who had both her legs broken by her mother last year, and then beaten to death this year, allegedly by her stepfather. Am I the only one who wonders why the most important job in the world, the job in which the person being tended is utterly vulnerable to the one doing the tending, requires no kind of licensing or training? Is it because most people think of their kids as their property? To do with what they want? This is a hard question to consider. It is a lot easier to blame the Department for Children and Families.

New Year's Eve Edmonton
How about welcoming in the New Year by dropping a large replica red maple leaf from a 100 foot height in the last seconds of the year in Churchill Square.
Could become an iconic image from Edmonton.
How about welcoming in the New Year by dropping a large replica red maple leaf from a 100 foot height in the last seconds of the year in Churchill Square.

Encourage all weather personnel to present temperature information on a positive note till the temperature is colder than -20. Telling audiences a -15 weekend temperature is 'horrible' does not encourage Edmonton's citizens to enjoy the beautiful white outdoors.
Let's come up with innovative ways to prevent cars from slipping without the use of ugly sand.
In the past, the trail connecting the Goldbar and Riverside Golf Course ski trails used to be groomed so that one could ski between both areas. The connector trail was very popular. Now the connector trail is plowed limiting its use only to foot traffic. If the connector was groomed for sking it could be used by foot traffic and skiers as it was in the past. Grooming the connector would cost no more than plowing it, ...more »

The greatest parts of Edmonton in the summer are the festivals. Why not attract tourists by creating a major music festival similar to Coachella or Lollapalooza. Something that people can really associate with Edmonton and lets people see how beautiful our city can be in the winter.
Imagine going for a skate down at Victoria Oval or Hawrelak Park, then throwing your skates over your shoulder and hopping on a bus to head down to Churchill Square, 104th or Whyte. On the bus (or at the bus stop) you are provided with a cup of hot chocolate to warm you up on the trip. Once at Churchill Square you step off the bus and see that there's a band playing on a temporary stage, there's a small outdoor market ...more »
Edmonton has many great winter festivals that really hit the mark on a few things, but never really bring it all together to make the big splash. Metropolis had the hype and extended timeframe, Yukigassen had the edge, WinterLight had the heart, and Freezing Man had the trendy fun. All of these festivals were on the right path, but sadly now are gone. If we want to make Edmontonians fall in love with winter we need to ...more »
To encourage more cheerful cuteness in the urban environs right through the depths of winter is simple: Put up a birdfeeder and look into a heated birdbath. A maintained central birdfeeding station with: - one Blue Jay feeder - one Finch and Chickdee feeder - one Sparrow feeder - a few heated birdbaths - display panels about how to attract the different birds oneself, and how to keep birds safer from windows and ...more »
Edmonton should have a festival in the Winter that will rival that of the Ottawa Winterlude and Quebec's Bonhomme Carnival combined. Hawrelak Park would make a great location for this, with close proximity for all Edmontonians, and within walking distance to other nearby River Valley Park events. A Winter Triathlon would be a must during this week.
Edmonton should further maintain cycling paths in the winter. As an avid cyclist it is often difficult to get from one point to another in the city during the winter due to poor trail and road maintenance. This forces cyclists to use major arteries such as Whyte ave as a transport corridor. More education on cyclist rights and signing on Whyte ave would also be beneficial to combat aggressive behavior by drivers.
With a translucent style similar to the Khan Shatyr in Astana (http://www.khanshatyr.com/pages.php?l=01) to allow for natural lighting and appropriate geothermic temperature control during all four seasons. It would great to house restaurants, winter themed stores etc, in conjunction with the tobogganing hills, skating areas and parks either in the city centre airport lands or somewhere in the river valley in conjunction ...more »
The new design for the downtown area has come out. It may just be the format of the drawings but the building is grey and silver, just like the downtown art gallery. We are a winter city with white snow, grey roads/sidewalks and yellow/brown "grass" for more than a third of the year. Let's at least try to add colour to any new buildings/structures that go up. The contrast on a cold, clear winter day would be striking. ...more »
How about a program that provides free strings of LED white lights to interested community leagues to light up either their buildings or trees ? it adds such a festive look to community parks and buildings during low light conditions. it could be an event each league could champion to encourage volunteers in a community based beautification effort with a 'welcome to winter' message.
Edmonton's winter can be tough on anyone. All it takes is one week of forty below and most people are done. For those with wealth just take the next jet south. Vegas anyone? What Edmonton needs is a Wellness Park. Put the Muttart Conservatory, Europa from WEM, Bonniedoon Hot Tub, Sand's Motel from Hawaii, Wellness Medical System in a Blender and what you have is a smoothie. What you would call a spiritual booster ...more »
We're a great winter city, so just wanted to write in support of the cross-country ski culture. With an internationally-acclaimed event like the Canadian Birkebeiner (the only Canadian one, and only one of a handful in the world!), Edmonton is in an enviable position to support cross country skiing. Here are some specific ideas: - Support the Birkebeiner Ski Festival as one of Edmonton's official winter festivals ...more »
I would like to propose a new pedestrian bridge across the North Saskatchewan river between the High Level bridge and the Walterdale bridge.
This would be an ice rink bridge in winter with amenities such as cafes on either side. In the summer it could be used for family/sporting activities/festivals etc.
Funding for this bridge would in part come from sponsorship for naming rights of the bridge.
Every time I take the LRT over the North Sask. River, I think it sure would be lovely if the city would commission an artist to create colourful murals on the drab, grey concrete pillars of the High Level Bridge. Not too detailed, maybe slightly abstract.
City commissioned murals could be incorporated into the city's percent for art program on new builds - a program originally spear-headed by Jan Reimer.
Have an annual cross-country ski event through the river valey from Goldbar Park to say Whitemud Creek making use of existing ski trails where possible, then use walking & bike trails where no trails exist. The route would go via Riverside Golf Course, Kinsmen, Emily Murphy & Hawrelak Pk. This ski would not be a race but a chance for skiers of all abilities to enjoy the beauty of our riiver valley in winter. People ...more »
Cross country ski is an healthy, inexpensive and easy sports for all ages. Edmonton has a great cross country ski community. However, last few years have been difficult for many due to lack of snow. It would be great if Goldbar has a snow making system that we can extend the ski season longer and consistent. There are already hundreds people using the trails at Goldbar, but lately it's been very disappointing. We don't ...more »
We need to seriously reduce the sand and grit we put on our roads - I love Winter - but in the country not in the city where is dirty and a mess most of the year.
What if we dumped a bunch of snow into Commonwealth Stadium and made a giant snow maze? It could be a family attraction, something to bring people out of the house on warm (or cold) winter days and get some exercise! Plus it could be a way to utilize the snow that gets removed from our streets for something fun!
Having a funspiel of Provincial/Canadian Curling Champs
at the oldest curling club in Edmonton, The Granite Curling Club
Established in 1920 and on its original site.
It would be perfect with the Brier being at Rexall in 2013.
Designate Hawrelak a winter park that becomes the hub for all the outdoor activities and leads into trail system. Build family-friendly toboggan runs off the hills leading into the park, offer dogsledding in parts of trails, hayrides, outdoor curling rinks, figure skating part of current skating rink and put up bleachers and dome and have skating shows ; nightime lights; bonfires and activities and use amphitheatre area ...more »
Set up ice slides of different widths and sizes. Some can be big enough for an entire family to go down and others can be singles. Similar to the ones that are in the famous Bal de Neige (Winterlude) in Ottawa/Gatineau or Carnival in Quebec City. No problem with copying something that works!
