Howto: Turn off EDGE on iPhone 2.0
BossPrefs is now available for Firmware 2.0! You can find it in the Cydia-Installer. It lets you turn on and off EDGE on demand! So use BossPrefs instead!
Firmware 2.0 came and installer.app left.
Right. Installer.app will not work on firmware 2.0 phone, nore will the the other apps you have installed with installer before. This also means, that you won't have BossPrefs or Services to turn on or off your EDGE connection on demand. Here is a little workaround to permanently turn EDGE off until the above tools will become available for the firmware 2.0.
First, to save you from any costs immediately, you should turn on the flight-mode and then turn on Wi-Fi again (yes, this combination is now possible). This turns off EDGE but also the phone capability, so it's not a solution.
As a requirement you need to have OpenSSH installed. You probably have, if you chose the simple-mode in pawnage-tool.
I will describe the graphical way here but you can also do it via Terminal.
Hint: You might set the auto-lock time in Settings to never while doing this, since it will loose connection on locking.
- Find out your iPhone's IP Address in Settings>Wi-Fi by clicking on the small arrow next to your Wi-Fi Network.
- Open Cyberduck (you don't have it? Get the best FTP-client for mac here http://cyberduck.ch)
- In Cyberduck, click on Open Connection. There,
- choose SFTP as the protocol to use
- enter your iPhone's IP address as the server address
- root as user name
- alpine as password
- Once connected, go to
/System/Library/Carrier Bundles
- You'll see a lot of numbers. Don't worry. Scroll down to end of the list to find human-readable names and choose your carrier.
- Download
carrier.plist(if you do this with Terminal, open this file with nano)
- Double-click it to open it with Property List Editor
- Go to Root>apns>0 and change the value of apn (it's sufficient to add an extra word, e.g. offline so you can undo changes later if you need to)
- Safe and upload the file to the same spot where you downloaded it off you iphone (be sure here, Cyberduck might fool you).
- Restart your iPhone and turn off airplane-mode. You can try if it worked by turning off Wi-Fi and trying to access a web page. If it says "unable to connect" you did everything right

CORONA, Calif., – With teammate Justin Hill sidelined with an injury at his hometown race, the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki duo of Blake Baggett and Dean Wilson looked to provide a strong outing for the team as the AMA Pro Motocross Championship made its annual visit to Washougal, Washington. The veteran tandem was in the mix throughout the afternoon in the 250 Class and ultimately posted a pair of solid results, with Baggett making his return to the podium and Wilson securing another top-10 effort.
Baggett Back Up Front
Following a forgettable outing at Spring Creek the week prior in which he was forced to record his second DNF of the 2014 season, Baggett knew he needed to turn things around at Washougal, where he won during the 2011 championship. He began his afternoon modestly, posting a top 10 time in practice, but was ready to step up his efforts for the motos.
Baggett's afternoon got off to a solid start in Moto 1, slotting into sixth place within striking distance of the front in the early stages. He wasted little time in making moves forward and was into a podium position by Lap 7. After taking over second just a couple laps later, Baggett looked to assert his control of the spot and soon engaged in a competitive battle for the position that lasted several laps before he crashed and dropped to fifth. He recovered nicely and maintained his top five result at the finish.
In Moto 2, Baggett got arguably his best start of the season thus far, assuming control of third out of the gate and marching to the front. Although he lost a spot early, Baggett stayed in the thick of the hunt out front and was ultimately able to wrap up a runner-up effort in the moto that would secure second overall on the afternoon.
"It definitely stings to give up spots like we did in that first moto, but I'm really pumped to be back on the podium and get second today," said Baggett. "We were really good and the Kawasaki KX250F felt great. We had some really challenging track conditions to deal with but we were able to fight our way forward when we needed to, got two good starts, and ended up on the box like we wanted. We'll build of this and be better following the off week."
Baggett maintained control of third in the 250 Class standings, 11 points out of second and 54 points out of the lead with three rounds remaining.
Wilson Works for His Results
Wilson knew he had the speed to contend at the front of the field following a season-best outing at Spring Creek the week prior, but starts ultimately added to the challenge he faced at Washougal. In the first moto he emerged with a 15th-place start and had to battle his way through the field on a brutal track where passing was at a premium. Wilson fought valiantly and was able to break into the top 10 and climb up to eighth by the time the checkered flag flew.
Wilson was better out of the gate in the final moto, assuming a spot inside the top 10 in ninth and putting himself in striking distance of the lead pack. He patiently moved his way forward, seizing opportunities as they came to him, and put in a solid 16 laps to finish just outside the top five in sixth. Wilson's combined scores resulted in seventh overall, his fourth top-10 effort in five starts since returning from injury.
"Another top 10 is good, but I'm not really satisfied with how I rode today because I know I'm better than that," said Wilson. "I didn't get a great start in either moto and that really made things harder because the track was so rough and tough to pass on. The Kawasaki KX250F was where I wanted it to be, I just wasn't able to get it up front right away and it made for a pretty tough day battling for positions. It's still a solid result and I'll do my best to build off it during the week off."
Wilson still sits 12th in the 250 Class standings but is closing in on his teammate Hill for the 11th spot due to the sophomore rider's injury. Wilson sits seven points out of 11th and 13 points from a spot in the top 10.
Looking Ahead >> Unadilla National
The AMA Pro Motocross Championship will take its final break in action for the 2014 season before returning to the track on August 9 for the legendary Unadilla National in Central New York. The ninth stop of the championship has been a successful track for Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki in the past with a total of 10 victories between seven different riders. Wilson was the most recent victor for the team during his title-winning 2011 campaign.

Staff Report
The Tribune-Star
Southwest Sullivan School Corp. is one of 21 Indiana school districts named to the College Board's third annual AP District Honor Roll for success in Advanced Placement (AP) testing.
The Indiana Department of Education made the announcement Tuesday.
"It's certainly an honor," said Chris Stitzle, Southwest Sullivan schools superintendent.
Last year, 29 of 132 Southwest Sullivan high school students who took an AP exam scored a 3, 4 or 5 — or 22 percent of those who took an AP test. That was better than the state average last year, in which 13 percent of students who took an AP exam earned a 3, 4 or 5.
"We're really proud of the fact we're going in the right direction," said Stitzle, who spent 25 years at the high school, part of that time as its principal. "I feel like we've made significant gains over the last several years."
Teachers have put a lot of programs in place to help students succeed, he said. One teacher gives students a mock AP practice test to help them prepare for the actual exam.
Stitzle noted that in 2007, Sullivan High School was on probation, or the equivalent of an F based on the newer grading system. It improved to a C, and this past year it earned an A. "It's kind of a trend we're seeing," he said.
More than 530 districts across the United States and Canada made the honor roll.
"Indiana is committed to providing high school students opportunities to get them ready for and credit for college, and AP courses do both," Tony Bennett, state superintendent of public instruction, said in a news release. "I commend these districts for their commitment to ensuring our students have the opportunities and resources necessary to be successful after high school graduation."
The College Board examined three years of AP data to determine which districts exhibited sustained efforts in improving and expanding AP performance and college and career readiness among students.
Honorees showed either significant annual growth in overall AP testing and scores or maintained a high percentage of students passing AP exams with a score of 3 or higher.
Indiana has seen a steady increase in districts making the national honor roll list since 2010. Eight Indiana districts made the first AP District Honor Roll, and 13 Indiana districts were recognized in 2011.

One man was arrested for an outstanding warrant after an Orange police officer observed three males loitering approximately 12:40 a.m. Monday behind Kroger's.
Two of the males were riding skateboards while one male was riding a bicycle without a front headlight.
One of the skateboarders was arrested for a warrant out of the Orange County Sheriff's Office for burglary of a motor vehicle. The bicyclist received a ticket for no headlight on a bicycle.
Man arrested for possession of synthetic marijuana
A man was arrested for possession of synthetic marijuana approximately 5 p.m. Monday.
The man was sitting by the roadway near State Hwy. 87 and Farm to Market Road 3247 when an officer from Orange Police Department approached him. The man was found to have ten grams of substance believed to be synthetic marijuana.
Three arrested following single vehicle collision
One man and two women were arrested after a single vehicle struck a building at approximately 12:30 a.m. Tuesday at the 2300 block of 16th Street.
Two people were standing outside the 1999 white Ford Explorer when officers from the Orange Police Department arrived. A third person was sitting in the back seat of the vehicle at that time.
All three persons denied being the driver of the vehicle at the time of the collision.
After further questioning, the male claimed to be the driver.
The man, 22, was arrested for public intoxication and the officer noted in the police report that the man had a strong order of PCP emitting from the person. During the arrest search the man was also found to be in possession of cocaine.
He was placed under arrest for possession of a controlled substance.
Both women were also arrested for public intoxication.

Muscle strength is what happens when the nervous system communicates a message to the muscle fibers to contract so as to produce force. Often the force produced by a muscle contraction is against resistance. Dumbells, theraband or tubing, or something heavy to lift or carry all qualify as resistance to muscle contraction.
The contracting of muscles (in a workout, for example) causes minute injuries to occur in the fibers of the muscles. The body sends a healing response to the "injured" area. After the healing takes place (usually within a period of several days), the muscles are actually stronger than they were before the workout (or other contraction).

THE FAMILY TABLE: Fourth, fireworks, food go together
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Wow, it's almost Fourth of July weekend and I'm looking forward to the festivities and feast.
In July 1776, John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, that the day of signing of the Declaration of Independence "will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival.
"It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more."
From the earliest days, Americans have partied together to celebrate the signing, and food has played an integral role. According to the Fourth of July Celebrations database compiled by author James R. Heintz, large public dining events were part and parcel of the festivities. Barbecues and picnics were set up in picturesque outdoor locales or, if the weather didn't allow it, then in public buildings such as taverns, churches and school houses. Early menus included turtle soup, clam chowder, roasted ox and fried fish. Meat, vegetables and fresh fruits were must-haves. Some of the favorites included ice cream, lemonade or limeade and a smorgasbord of desserts.
My first few July Fourth celebrations took place in Houston with a group of college friends and family. The head organizer was Stephanie Bencze, a French-Belgian-American. We'd gather with picnic provisions at Miller Outdoor Theater, spread blankets on the hill and settle down for food, music and fireworks.
Another friend, Larry, happened to have a birthday on the special date, and Steph always surprised him with a birthday cake. He was nice enough to be surprised year after year. I always looked forward to that cake because to me we weren't just celebrating a friend, but also the birth of a nation. To this day, there's nothing as perfect as eating cake under July Fourth fireworks.
Rashda's Limeade
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (6 or 7 medium to large limes)
1 cup sugar (or ½ cup Splenda sugar mix)
6 cups water
- Pinch of salt
1 lime thinly sliced (optional)
7 - 8 mint leaves, torn (optional)
- Ice (optional)
1 In a pitcher, whisk together lime juice and sugar.
2 Gradually add water and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
3 Add the rest of the ingredients, stir and chill in the refrigerator. Serves 6.
American Flag Texas Sheet Cake
Serves 12
1 cup butter
1 cup boiling water
5 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup sour cream
2 eggs, beaten
1 8oz container frozen whipped cream topping or prepared cream cheese icing
2 pints Strawberries, washed and sliced
1 pint Blueberries, rinsed and drained
1 Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9 X 13" pan.
2 Over low heat, melt the butter in a saucepan. While the butter is melting, microwave a cup of water until boiling.
3 Add the cocoa powder to the melted butter, mix thoroughly.
4 Add the hot water, stir and let simmer for 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.
5 In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour through baking soda).
6 Beat in the sour cream and eggs.
7 Pour in the cocoa mixture and mix until blended.
8 Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool to room temperature.
9 Frost cooled cake with whipped topping or icing.
10 Using a toothpick outline the flag.
11 Fill the upper left corner with rows of blueberries.
12 Arrange sliced strawberries into stripes to make an American flag.
Chill until serving.

From Abu Sa'eed al-Khudree (radiyallaahu 'anhu) who said that Allaah's Messenger said:
The example of the believer with regards to eemaan is like the example of a horse with regards to its tethering stake; it roams around and then returns to its tethering stake, and the believer is negligent and then he turns to his eemaan. So feed the pious with your food and treat the believers well.[39]
So he does not persist upon sin, or treat it lightly. Rather like the rest of the children of Aadam he commits many sins. However he is frequent in turning back in repentance to his Lord.
So what has preceded will clearly show us:

Bill Roorbach, whose writing encompasses both fiction and non-fiction, will meet SUNY Fredonia students on Thursday, Nov. 1, as part of the English Department's Mary Louise White Visiting Writers' Series.
Now retired from academia to pursue a full-time writing career, Roorbach has authored eight books, including "Big Bend," winner of the Flannery O'Connor Prize and the O'Henry Prize; "Into the Woods" and "Temple Stream." His next novel, "Life Among Giants," is due to be published in 2012. The tenth anniversary of Roorbach's craft book, "Writing Life Stories," is utilized in writing programs around the world.
More than a dozen publications, including Harper's, The Atlantic Monthly, Playboy, The New York Times Magazine, Granta and New York, have published Roorbach stories.
During his campus visit, Roorbach will conduct a craft talk at 4 p.m., followed by a reading and book signing and sale at 7 p.m. Both events will take place at 202 McEwen and are free and open to the public.
A Chicago native, Roorbach earned a bachelor's degree in Individual and Interdisciplinary Studies from Ithaca College and an MFA in Fiction Writing from Columbia University, where he won a School of Arts Fellowship and a Fellowship of Distinction and served as a fiction editor of "Columbia: A Magazine of Poetry and Prose."
In the nearly dozen years that separated his undergraduate and graduate studies, Roorbach played guitar and sang in a string of music groups, put in a brief stint on a cattle ranch and worked as a carpenter, plumber and handyman – all while writing. He sold his first book, "Summers With Juliet," to Houghton Mifflin shortly after earning his graduate degree.
Roorbach has held teaching positions at the University of Maine at Farmington, Colby College and Ohio State University; his last academic position was the Jenks Chair in Contemporary American Letters at the College of the Holy Cross, Massachusetts. A comic video memoir about his tragic music career, "I Used to Play in Bands," and all kinds of other work, including a current blog on writers and writing and just about everything else (with author David Gessner) is online at www.billanddavescocktailhour.com.

ZF-1011: get a list of all supported db adapters
add static method: Zend_Db::listSupportedAdapters(void) return array of all database adapters which supported by Zend_Framework and installed php
'' => ''
[, '' => ''[, ...]]
'pdo_mysql' => 'MySQL over PDO',
'pdo_sqlite' => 'SQLite over PDO',
'oracle>' => 'Oracle',
'mysqli' => 'MySQLi',

This seems like a useful feature, but it has no way of discovering any new adapters, including adapters that are implemented by a third-party, outside the Zend_Db_Adapter package space.
Adapters outside of ZF can't open with Zend_Db::factory(). Otherwise it must create an interface to add other adapters to ZF like:
Zend_Db::addAdapter(, [, ])
Please categorize/fix as needed.
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Reassigning as Ralph is the maintainer of Zend_Db
This would likely be a feature in a large environment component if we were to implement it. Closing for now as it is very old with no votes.

TRAVERSE CITY — Jill Erickson stopped for lunch at her Solon Township home and noticed a little brown bat crawling across the garage floor.
Erickson thought it highly unusual to see a bat in the middle of the day and feared it might have rabies.
So she scooped the limp creature into a shoe box, put it in a specimen bag, and shipped it off to the Michigan Department of Community Health for testing. She learned two days later — on Sept. 12 — that it indeed tested positive for rabies.
"I talk about vaccinations to my pet owners every day," said Erickson, a veterinarian at VCA Cherry Bend Animal Hospital in Elmwood Township. "This whole incident really brings home to have all cats and dogs protected. It keeps our families protected, as well, since it's something people can get."
By law, a dog needs to be vaccinated at age 16 weeks and older. After the initial shot, it has to be vaccinated after one year and every three years thereafter. Any pet at risk of contact with a rabid animal should get a booster shot immediately and be observed for 45 days, she said.
There is no legal requirement to give cats a rabies vaccination, yet they are the most commonly infected domestic animal, Erickson said.
"With bats being the number one carrier, that puts indoor cats at just as high of risk since bats can easily make their way into the home," she said.
Over a 10-year period, there have been a total of 23 domestic animals that have tested positive for rabies in Michigan, including 11 cats, said Kim Signs, who oversees rabies surveillance for the Michigan Department of Community Health.
"In terms of domestic animals, we very rarely have dogs and cats rabid in the state," she said.
Rabid bats in northwest Michigan are rare. This is the first infected bat detected in Leelanau County this year. In 2012, Leelanau and Grand Traverse counties reported one bat each, and Benzie County had one rabid bat in 2011, she said.

Examining Reactions to the Online Degree Rankings
Many online programs are glad to be ranked, but some reviewers are not pleased.
The most comprehensive and detailed listings of online education degree programs and rankings went live on January 10 on usnews.com. All the ranked bachelor's and master's online degree programs on usnews.com are regionally accredited and disclosed a significant amount of information about their offerings.
Consequently, any online degree program with a presence on U.S. News's revamped online education site has instantly distinguished itself from programs that are not truly online or do not have the most rigorous accreditation. Not surprisingly, since the release of the rankings, a flurry of schools rushed to publicize them, and some even expressed their approval via E-mails.
[Learn more about the Top Online Programs rankings.]
But the reception has been less enthusiastic from some in the industry. For instance, the WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies (WCET)—an organization that works to advance and evaluate the most effective uses of technology in higher education—recently devoted a 1,500-word review of the rankings, emphasizing the perceived shortcomings in U.S. News's approach that shared similarities to arguments referenced in articles by Inside Higher Ed and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Their arguments boil down to the following: the rankings received too little participation from schools to be useful; not enough emphasis was placed in the rankings on student level outcomes; and U.S. News did not properly engage online education experts in developing the questionnaires. These arguments were in most cases exaggerated or misinformed.
On school response rates, the Inside Higher Ed article says the rankings only include a "small pool of respondents," because while thousands of institutions were solicited, there were only small numbers of "usable" returned surveys. Not true. The reason there were only 717 programs ranked when 4,816 programs received surveys is because the vast majority of survey respondents said they did not offer online programs.
To juxtapose the number of ranked schools with the total number of schools receiving surveys is not the correct way to judge the degree of institutions' participation. U.S. News believes that a very large percentage of online programs participated, including programs affiliated with five of the seven for-profit institutions with highest 2009 enrollment, according to National Center for Education Statistics data.
Regarding the lack of student outcomes used to calculate the rankings, consider the following: Out of the 163 online master's in business degree programs ranked by U.S. News, only 41 of them in the "career outcomes" section of the survey said they even tracked their students after graduating. This unfortunately suggests that any near-term efforts to improve response rates on post-graduate outcomes will be hindered by most programs currently opting not to collect, or being too new to have collected, robust longitudinal program level data on their online students pre- and post-graduation.
[Find out more about the methodologies behind the online rankings.]
Would the rankings have benefited from more robust data on outcome measures? Absolutely, and U.S. News will continue working at gathering this information in the future.
Nonetheless, many programs did supply data on outputs asked in the surveys, such as indebtedness, graduation rates, and retention rates. WCET's suggestion that the data collection instruments were "almost completely focused on inputs" is inaccurate. While outputs were not used for rankings this year, asking schools to gather this information was not "a disrespectful use of staff time," as WCET argued. This information has been incorporated into each school's searchable profile pages in U.S. News's directory of online education degree programs, similar to other non-ranking data, such as concentration offerings and student body demographics.
Finally, WCET asserted that U.S. News did not consult with educators running online programs until well after the surveys were administered. However, U.S. News told WCET in a webinar in 2011 that such input, including pilot testing, was solicited before the questions were fully conceived or finalized.
For example, there would be no student engagement indicator rankings if interviewed educators had not repeatedly emphasized that engagement is a particularly vital metric of quality for online education programs, in addition to (or in lieu of) more traditional evaluative metrics.
U.S. News understands that this was a first effort and hopes that the online education data and rankings methodologies will become more sophisticated next year and beyond. Meanwhile, U.S. News is looking to work with schools that offer online education programs to improve its surveys and rankings.

Last week I got a call from an angry client. She was frustrated with the care her pet had received the past few months and under the recommendation of a friend went to see another doctor. There the pet was given a diagnosis and placed on a specific treatment plan. She was upset that this diagnosis was not reached by me sooner. I tried to explain that the symptoms were not as cut and dry at the time when I saw the pet and different circumstances lead to different answers. The owner was clearly upset and it became clear that no matter how well I could explain the situation she had her mind made up. What was frustrating to me was in our conversation it became clear that this other doctor did not paint my medicine in the best of light. These things have happened before and will happen again. In reviewing my medical notes and diagnostic tests I feel I made the appropriate decisions and recommendations at the time. In most of these situations it comes down to communication which is something we all will continue to aspire to improve upon. The variable that can be hard to control is the false communication a client receives from another doctor.
What is most troubling to me is when these situations arise with a client it always seems to be the same doctor that fed them the misleading information. Now this doctor is not in direct competition with me or my hospital, he is not down the street. I doubt that he knows me from Kato Kaelin; I don't think it is personal. In fact he has a great reputation in the community. These very things confound me when time and time again I get second hand information of what he imparts to these clients that makes me look incompetent. My general conclusion from a handful of these cases is he alters facts to make himself look good (which is usually at the expense of the first veterinarian) in order to make a quick dollar off a procedure or hospilization. I have never found the treatments to be malicious or hurtful to animals, just communicated to the client in a way to gain a service even if it means putting a colleague under the bus.
That is his communication style, and from what I can tell it appears to work. For me that style does not sit well. Ours is a very small fraternity and as I see it once one gets hooded we are all on the same team. I get my fair share of new clients with second opinions and I always make sure to put the first veterinarian in the most positive light I can. There are facts and circumstances that I can't draw from a client's recollection or medical notes in assessing a patient's care. I have had some situations in which an owner construed what I had said to make her case against another doctor. I take those instances as learning opportunities on how to communicate more clearly the next time. My job is to gather the information that had already been collected and to the best of my ability move forward with the case for the betterment of the pet. There are situations where a doctor's care should be assessed; such as medical boards and likely someday part of everyone's continuing education/renewal of license. But for most of us that sort of analysis should be left out of the exam room.
So the next time you see a second opinion, don't worry about the other doc and focus on the pet in front of you.
NWinkler, 2 years ago | Flag
It is so very cut-throat where we are, that we have experienced the same thing, twice within the same month with the same practice that is not necessarily a direct competitor, but is close enough on the "border" between our demographics to make the clients in the middle, well, in the middle.
We've had clients bring estimates from Dr. A to us for direct comparison and ask us, "Why does Dr. A charge so much less?"
Dr. A informed one client that their pet did not need pre-operative bloodwork or consultation before doing a spay. We simply educated the client that, "99% of the time when a pet goes under anesthesia for such an invasive procedure, nothing happens. But bloodwork, especially on small breed dogs, helps us discover things like genetic kidney disease or liver shunts that may not be immediately apparent upon simple physical examination. Your puppy may fall into that 1% catagory that has a possible illness or greater risk of anethesia. If we do not do bloodwork, and your puppy dies while in surgery, you're not going to care about those other 99 dogs that didn't die. This is your puppy and you care about her. WE care about her, and to reduce the risk we require bloodwork be done before we will perform a surgical procedure, any surgical procedure, regardless of how 'routine' that procedure is. A human doctor won't operate without at least this type of bloodwork be done, and because you expect us to treat your pet as if it were our own, this is what we'd do for our pets and what we believe should be done as a minimum standard of care."
The client booked pre-op and surgery with us.
Client number two went to Dr. A for preventative dental care, and Dr. A informed the client, "How do you know they require anethesia for the dental procedure, I could possibly just chip the tartar off while your pet is still awake."
Again we said, "We believe...." The conversation also provided opportunity to discuss the role of Licensed Veterinary Technicians in the animal hospital setting, and we informed the client, "We don't know if Dr. A's employees licensed techs, we really don't have a relationship with him. They probably are because it is the law in our state. But WE do know WE employ licensed technicians, and, as a matter of fact, here is my license right here on the wall and here is the website you can go if you want to check out the validity." (Yes, as office manager, I have my credentials on my own little "brag wall" out in the lobby.)
Dental client's response was, "My word! People probably don't even know to ask whether or not the person doing the dental is licensed! You just don't know what goes on once you drop off your pet!"
Dental client also booked.
In no way do I feel we disparaged Dr. A. We simply looked at the estimates and said, "Okay, yes, these two items are the same, and are the same standard of care. We are different from this sameness because we believe this philosophy...." Pre-op consults are important, licensed people doing treatment and assisting are important, this is why we feel these are important...
BUT...and you knew the big BUT was coming....
While these things mattered very much to our clients, they still were very upset our estimate was $200.00 more than Dr. A's estimates. They wanted what was best for their pets, they truely did express this desire once we educated them, but simply could not afford licensed technicians and pre-operative risk assessments, and we had now made them feel "guilty" for "being cheap" because they wanted our standard of care at Dr. A's prices, and were willing to go to Dr. A without knowing exactly what they were to recieve in terms of standard of care, or having the client-patient-doctor relationship they valued as important. So when all was said in done, the real reason these clients booked with us was because we offered to discount our estimates to match Dr. A's prices.
We can't afford to loose clients either. Clients can percive value in standards of care or quality of service, but if the bottom line doesn't match what is in their wallet...even the best most wonderful animal hospitals in the world will have an empty appointment book.

Malone, K. R., & Barabino, G. (2009). Narrations of race in STEM research settings: Identity formation and its discontents. Science Education, 93(3), 485–510.
This study investigates specific challenges that students of color have in developing a personal identity related to science. The researchers examined how experiences in graduate school programs shaped the emergent identities of African-American women students in science and engineering. The study sheds light on the barriers cultural minority students might face in their pursuit of science in school and in careers, and suggests that educators might help to prepare students for these experiences.
Tran, N. A. (2011). The relationship between students' connections to out-of-school experiences and factors associated with science learning. International Journal of Science Education, 33(12), 1625-1651.
How do students make connections between in-school and out-of school contexts? In this study involving the analysis of questionnaire responses of 1014 11th and 12th graders, the author found that out-of-school experiences are positively associated with the learning outcomes of science learning achievement, science interest, and self-efficacy. However, the analysis also showed that connections made by teachers to out-of-school experiences negatively correlated with student achievement.
Xu, J., Coats, L., & Davidson, M. (2012). Promoting student interest in science: The perspectives of exemplary African American teachers. American Educational Research Journal, 49(1), 124–154.
This study investigated what exemplary African American science teachers do to develop interest in science among low-income African American elementary students. The researchers found three interrelated approaches:
1) Having a genuine interest—in science, in teaching, and in students' lives
2) Scaffolding students' interest in science
3) Offering multiple standpoints—many ways for students to engage
Nasir, N. S., & Hand, V. (2008). From the court to the classroom: Opportunities for engagement, learning, and identity in basketball and classroom mathematics. Journal of the Learning Sciences, 17(2), 143–179. doi:10.1080/10508400801986108
This article discusses the potential for learner engagement in the contexts of a basketball team and a mathematics classroom. The qualitative analysis centers on three aspects of each context: access to the domain, the integral roles available to learners, and opportunities for self-expression.
Johnson, C. C. (2011). The road to culturally relevant science: Exploring how teachers navigate change in pedagogy. Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 48(2), 170–198.
This article reports on a case study of two middle school science teachers who took part in professional development designed to help them enact culturally relevant pedagogy in their classrooms. The long-term and community-oriented aspects of the professional development seemed to play a vital role in supporting the teachers' success.
Lai, B., Slota, S. & Medin, D. (2012). "Our Princess Is in Another Castle. A Review of Trends in Serious Gaming for Education. Review of Educational Research, 82(296), 295-299.
Do video games have positive impacts on the academic K–12 curriculum? A literature review of more than 300 research articles finds minimal evidence that video games have any positive effects on mathematics and science achievement. From a situated-learning perspective, however, games may afford other benefits that measures on test scores do not record.
White, T., & Pea, R. (2011). "Distributed by design: On the promises and pitfalls of collaborative learning with multiple representations." Journal of the Learning Sciences, 20(3), 489–547. doi:10.1080/10508406.2010.542700.
This article provides firm evidence, for formal and informal educators alike, that shared learning can be powerful and meaningful, if carefully considered. Findings from a study conducted in a summer middle school mathematics class suggest that when students are able to ask legitimate, authentic questions and share understanding about a common problem, their learning becomes truly "distributed by design."
Eijck, M. V., & Claxton, N. X. (2009). Rethinking the notion of technology in education: Techno-epistemology as a feature inherent to human praxis. Science Education, 93, 218–232.
The authors of this paper use Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) as a conceptual framework for understanding how technology is tied to culturally specific human practices, and what this means in an educational context. ISE professionals can use this paper to better understand the relationship between technology and science education and how technology as a cultural tool can represent inherent (privileged) epistemologies. The researchers in this study examined Reef Net technology of the WSÁNEĆ (Saanich) First Nation to demonstrate how cultural ways of knowing are embedded in the technology.
Lemke, J. L. (2001). Articulating communities: Sociocultural perspectives on science education. Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 38(3), 296–316.
In this seminal paper from 2001, the researcher posits sociocultural perspectives as a useful theoretical and methodological lens for examining science education. The paper examines the types of questions that are asked when applying a sociocultural lens to the science classroom and usefully references several different bodies of work within the sociocultural tradition. The research paper discusses the ways in which non-sociocultural perspectives have positioned science and the processes of learning science in ways that privilege dispassionate rationality in a way that may not be easily understood by many. In addition to its relevance for researchers of ISE settings, this paper is salient to the work of ISE educators who seek to teach science to learners by acknowledging and building on the learners' own experiences, concerns, and communities.
Fowler, S. R., Zeidler, D. L., & Sadler, T. D. (2009). Moral sensitivity in the context of socioscientific issues in high school students. International Journal of Science Education, 31(2), 279–296.
Socioscientific issues bridge science and society. As such, they are open to multiple viewpoints and inherently associated with morality. This paper presents the findings from a year-long study designed to enhance students' moral sensitivity so that they are better able to recognise and negotiate the moral arguments embedded with socioscientific issues (SSIs).

The Oliver Ames boys' soccer team will have its playoff rematch with Weymouth.
The Tigers beat Walpole, 2-1 Tuesday night at Brockton High School to advance to the South Sectional Semi-Finals. Waiting for them is No. 2 Weymouth, who the Tigers fell to in the 2010 tournament. The game is set to be played at Taunton High School at 7:15 p.m.
OA's momentum gained slowly Tuesday night. After finishing the first half in a scoreless tie, Brandon Boone nailed a goal in the 17th minute of the second half. Chris Goncalves gave OA an insurance goal with 5 minutes left.
As it turned out, OA needed the insurance. Walpole scored in the final five minutes, but it wasn't enough to defeat the Tigers.
A win Thursday will earn OA a trip to the South Sectional Finals to play either No. 1 Needham or No. 4 Dartmouth. OA's season record now stands at 15-2-4.

Sen. Dodd hanging it up
He won't seek reelection. Maybe Harold Ford Jr. can run in Connecticut, too. Will the last person at the DNC please turn on the lights.
Please take Harold Jr., another unaccomplished Obama. The Fords have spewed reverse-racism and corruption in Memphis for many decades. You can have him!!!
You may, however, find yourselves asking how you let such a charming young man deceive you. (Steele)
You know a Harold Ford, Jr. that I don't know. I always had him on my list of pro-growth Dems. And, in NY and maybe in CN, he should be a Repub.
Could you imagine how much different the world would have been if Harold Ford had been elected Speaker instead of Nancy Pelosi?
He's always impressed me. Moderate, pragmatic democrats are hard to find these days, especially in NY. He's not perfect, but he's way better than the team they've got in the house these days.
I've always found HF Jr an attractive and intelligent candidate. New York could seek further and find worse.
I always thought he had the potential to be the first black president. Oh, well....

Neighbors' Food Shelf
The Food Shelf was Neighbors' first program designed to help those in need in the south metro area. Neighbors' Food Shelf opened its doors in 1972, and still continues to provide for the community forty years later. The Food Shelf provides food and hygiene products for about 330 families and individuals needing assistance each month.
When food is donated, either by individuals, businesses or organizations, it is first weighed and inventoried. From there, the food is sorted and dated to be placed on the shelves. Then, when an individual or family comes in for assistance, the volunteers and staff at Neighbors set up an appointment for the individual or family to pick up the food and other items they may need. Neighbors' volunteers and staff fill out appointment slips that specify how many people are in the family, so an appropriate amount of products will be picked out for them. All around the food shelf are signs indicating how much of each food type a family will receive based on family size. This ensures that food and hygiene products are distributed in a consistent and fair way. The food is packaged in bags and placed in carts, so when the family or individual comes in to pick up their food, it is all ready to go.
Volunteers are the backbone of the operation, and without them, the Food Shelf would not be able to run. Neighbors' has a very small staff; most of the work done is by volunteers. For instance, today in the food shelf there were four or five volunteers compared to one part-time staff person.
The Food Shelf operates mostly with the help of donations from individuals, businesses, and organizations. Some items are also purchased or obtained in bulk from retailers and from food banks. Food banks operate differently than food shelves in that they do not distribute the food directly to those in need. Instead, organizations such as Neighbors obtain food from the banks and distribute it to the community. The food bank Neighbors works closely with is Second Harvest Heartland who serves 59 counties in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin and is a member of Feeding America.
The needs of the Food Shelf are always changing,
but donations are always welcomed and needed. The current needs of
the Food shelf are posted just inside the lower level door, at the
entrance to the office, and in the donation intake area, and they
are updated weekly. At the time of this writing (5/30) the current
needs are: canned meats, chili, stew, applesauce, pancake mix/syrup,
jelly, toilet paper, toothpaste and deodorant.

In late February we received a call from a friend at Lloyd's Barbecue offering to donate some ribs to our food shelf. "Some ribs" didn't do it justice. Two days later we picked up three and a half skids, about 3,500 pounds. And less than two months later, Lloyd's called again, this time donating another three skids, an amazing act of generosity. That was Act I. In Act II, we had to figure out how to store 3,500 pounds of ribs. Needless to say, we do not have the space required. That's when Knowlan's Super Market came to our rescue and offered to store our ribs as long as we needed; another amazing act of friendship and generosity.
Now the story takes a turn. In mid April a client was picking up food at the food shelf. The last items to go into the bag were a couple of packages of Lloyd's Ribs and the client began to cry, telling the person helping her, "You have no idea how much this means to me. Monday is my daughter's birthday and just this morning she told me she knew I didn't have any money for a cake or a present, but if I could somehow get some ribs, that is all she'd ask for." We gave her some extra ribs and found a birthday cake in the freezer.
Here at Neighbors we believe that everything happens for a reason. Is it a coincidence that Lloyd's donated ribs to Neighbors, that Knowlan's agreed to store them for us, and that this woman's daughter asked for ribs the very day she was coming to Neighbors for assistance? We at Neighbors don't think so. -N-

Opera, after scores of Beta followed by a Release Candidate (RC) of its web browser just a week back, has finally released its fully functional latest version Opera 10 which is now ready for download simultaneously for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.
The latest version.10 of the Opera browser comes included with the the browser's most publicized compression engine called Opera Turbo processing engine designed to improve load times and fast surfing on lousy slow internet connections.
Opera is claiming that Opera Turbo enables Opera v.10 browser to be up to 40% faster than its earlier Opera 9.6 version and upto 8 times faster compared to other latest browsers.
Opera Turbo automatically detects the connection speed and once turned on, Opera Turbo instantly starts compressing webpages so that less data needs to be transferred over a limited speed of network connection.
"Opera Turbo is our newest innovation, and one we think everyone should try, because we all will face a slow connection at some point," said Jon von Tetzchner, Opera's CEO.
The new release 10 of Opera also has a number of bug fixes, usability and other standard enhancements, a new automatic software updates (like in Firefox 3x), a built-in spell checker for 51 languages and an improved and refined Opera Mail client that allows threading e-mail conversations like Goole Gmail.
The refreshed user interface now offers the new default skin and changes to tab bar behavior. The tabs now also behaves as thumbnail images. Double-clicking the thin gray bar below the tabs now allows expanding the current tabs into preview windows that can be navigate by clicking among them, something which is now common feature in Windows Explorer and Firefox. In addition, the tab bar itself can be resized by pulling down on it or double-clicking the handle.
Another enhancement include an expanded Speed Dial feature that now shows more often visited Webpages, like Google Crome and moreover, it can be customize with a choice of background picture.
For web developers, a new version of Opera Dragonfly (set of on-board, Web-development tools) that now allows them to edit the DOM and inspect HTTP headers.

It was called Twenty One Days of Habit...
It was called Twenty One Days of Habit...
Throughout my late teens and early twenties, it was always said that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit and even though this fact has now changed it status to myth I can't help but think it still holds a good foundation for the alteration of our daily, monthly and yearly patterns.
TWENTY ONE DAYS OF HABIT is a new project that looks each day at one of 21 habits that I want to make or break throughout 2014
Each day I will be asked the same questions:
Why this habit?
How has it effected you? How do you hope it will effect you?
How has it effected others? How do you hope it will effect others?
Think it'll be a hard one to break/make?
Any other comments?
I have skills (I once climbed this tree for a dare)
I have skills (I once climbed this tree for a dare)
Apart from being able to rub my tummy and pat my head at the same time. I'm also a freelance graphic designer, skilled in both online and offline. As many of my friends say, I've made my living from being able to draw and colour in really well.
Okay, seriously now, creativity has always been at the core of everything I am and everything I do, the thrill of lateral thinking and finding a beautiful solution to a problem is a feeling that little else can compare to.
I love knowing about "stuff", there's no other way to describe it, your passion inspires my enthusiasm, it's rare for me to just do what you ask me to do, I need to understand why you want it done that way and whether there is a better way to do it.
Over the past eleven years (sob) I've worked in a variety of disciplines including graphic design, photography, typography, illustration, hand lettering, print, app design, front-end web design but for me the golden thread that ties this all together is user experience. It's a term that has frivolously been scattered around over recent years, but for me it's the key to every project I turn my hand to. I wrote a little article over here about it.
