Contacts auto joining driving me insane
I'm seriously thinking of rooting my Razr Maxx. I can't deal with it constantly merging contacts that have no relation to each other. I have four email accounts, Facebook and Twitter. I've stopped contact syncing for all but Facebook and my corporate account, but every day some of the contacts get merged. It wouldn't be bad if it merged the obvious ones; you know; the ones with the same name. But, that's not the case. Its merging Katie on Facebook with Shawn from work. They have nothing common that would tell me why they were merged. That's just an example. I have dozens of similar merging.
From what I understand, it's MotoBlur and not Android that does the auto merging. I have not found a way to permanently turn that off. I know how to separate them after they are merged and how to join contact manually. But I want to control what gets merged and what doesn't. Surely someone else is seeing this too?
I was thinking that maybe if I install a NON-MotoBlur generic OS on it, that my problems would be solved. Anyone have a thought on this?
Thanks - 06-05-2012, 12:10 PM #2
It does that to some of my contacts as well. Drives me nuts. Wish there was a way to disable it, because it's not accurate by any means.

Re: Contacts auto joining driving me insane
I did do a lot of searching and from what I have read, Adroid OS does not do that on it's own. Motorola, in their infinite wisdom, determine to combine contacts in some rather random way. I still can't figure out what the common denominator is that would link some of these people. Different names, no connection to each other, different email and phones. I'm stumped. Maybe just a vanilla ICS would be better?
I sure hope they ditch this in the ICS update, or at least give us the option to disable it.
I was trying to call one of my contacts today, and was wondering why it was no longer showing up in my address book.
I knew I didn't delete it.
I finally realized that Moto Blur combined it with another contact.
The sad part is that it will not show up unless you Edit the contact it was combined with.

Re: Contacts auto joining driving me insane
For the life of me, I can't understand why this isn't the #1 complaint from Motorola users. It's almost to the point where I feel I have to change to something else just so I don't get burned. My boss (John H) got merged with an acquaintance (Jim L). I got a call but didn't know who I was even talking to and had to ask. Embarrassing, and it made me look unprofessional. There are so many good things about the Maxx that it's sad to see such a glaring problem go unfixed.
Re: Contacts auto joining driving me insane
Just remove your Facebook account entirely. If you need to use it on your phone, then just log into the mobile version of the site.
Crisis averted. - 06-07-2012, 02:02 PM #7
As for merging contacts, I dont't think this is a Facebook issue.
Reason I say that is because I don't even have the Facebook account nor app on my phone.
I use the browser to access Facebook because the app is so slow and is horrible in my opinion.
I'm thinking it's the Motorola address book itself.

Re: Contacts auto joining driving me insane
Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! Me tooo! OK, seriously? It will seemingly arbitrarily "join" your contacts? Hello?! I'm the one that will decide that! I have over 3000 contacts. I call that my brain. I don't know HOW MANY CONTACTS ARE JOINED. I'm gonna say in the 200 range, b/c i believe i remember having around 3200 bfore the switch from iphone to Razr Maxx. Google has managed my email & contacts for some time. I have noticed however, that many of those that are merged seem to be merged by some type of connection in what apple calls the 'company' field and what Motorola calls the 'organization' field. Although, i've also seen the same peeps merged that were related & nothing was in the 'organization' field. This too is driving me crazy. Something else... does it continually do the merging? OR, once unjoined, each respective contact stays that way? I found one contact that had 3 contacts together. So, for one merge, I was actually missing 2 additional contacts.
Please help. - 06-19-2012, 11:04 AM #9
Re: Contacts auto joining driving me insane
Ditto here! Only difference is that all the joined contacts found so far do have a common number involved. However, on the phone, one or the other contacts does not show up in a alphabetical search for the person's name. Motorola may think this is a feature, but not me!
Other point is that it does not happen right away, have not found a common thread as to when two or more contacts may join???
Thanks, just had to vent! - 07-06-2012, 09:59 AM #11
Re: Contacts auto joining driving me insane
Has anyone found a way to disable the merge feature. It's not accurate as it should, and I'm constantly calling the wrong people.
I'm about to ditch this phone for that reason.
Why have a phone with a great battery, but can't use it as a phone because I'm calling the wrong people. - 08-25-2012, 12:33 PM #13
Re: Contacts auto joining driving me insane
Just got finished talking with Motoroloa Level 2 Rep. They do not have a fix for the merging of unwanted contacts. This is a deal breaker for me because it keeps merging all of my work contacts together.
I purchased this phone out of contract. Guess I'll go take a look at the SGSIII and eat my loss. - 01-24-2013, 12:40 AM #14
Re: Contacts auto joining driving me insane
I am having the same problem with a Samsung Galaxy S3.
I have over 3000 contacts and keep them in a master file on my PC. From time-to-time I copy them to my phone. Worked great with Blackberry and my iPhone.
When I import them to my Samsung S3 (using KIES), they arbitrarily join up. Different first names, different companies but they become a single entry in the Contacts list.. When I want to phone someone I cannot find the correct number. I can see all the numbers but have no idea which belongs to which person.
Then if I receive a phone call the wrong name appears. Very embarrassing.
I cannot go through 3000 contacts separating them manually. It would take forever.
Has anyone found a way to prevent contacts joining automatically? Or separating all the contacts with a single command.
Or can someone at least explain the logic by which this happens. Is it an Android or a Samsung problem? - 01-24-2013, 03:59 AM #15
Re: Contacts auto joining driving me insane
I searched online and it seems to be an issue with Android. I upgraded from the Razr Maxx to the Note 2 and it does it as well. It's a slightly easier to find the joined contacts on the Note 2, but it still does it. When I had HTC Android phones in the past, it used to ask me in the notification area if I wanted to join a contact that was found as a potential match. I could accept or reject the merge.

Re: Contacts auto joining driving me insane
This is happening on my Samsung Rush, and seems caused by the "pocket dialing" bug.
I turn the phone off but it is not fully off and contact with my keys, wallet, pocket lint etc. activate it.
I now have a pocket dialing block installed, but sometimes hear noise from my pocket, take it out and see a message asking if I want to join more contacts.
The contacts that were joined often start with the letter "A".
I don't want to join any contacts, ever. - 10-30-2013, 12:03 PM #18
Re: Contacts auto joining driving me insane
Please be careful using the word, "merge."
When I hear "merge" I think that all of the details from Contact-A are combined with
all of the details from Contact-B and exactly one contact remains. If both -A and -B
have the same two phone numbers, then the surviving contact will have both numbers
repeated for a total of two pairs or four numbers.
"Join" is fine in theory. I have a contact for "Something Company" I also have contacts
for "Bill Smith" and "Mary Jones" who work for that company. A JOIN of the people with
the company lets me see all of the folks that work there when I view the company contact.
Likewise, if I view one of the people, I can see the company details along with the associated
- Please let me manage these?!?!?!
- Please don't auto-magically presume to know how I associate contact details
My associations might be based on youth sports teams rather than employer. Software cannot
know this without my input.

Re: Contacts auto joining driving me insane
Definitely an Android / Google Sync issue. I have the same problem on my ZTE Reef phone, running Android 4.2. It's synced with Google contacts, but it only merges the contacts on my phone. The contacts in Gmail on the computer are still separate. On my phone, it merged my wife, my daughter, and my son into my name. Now their names are gone, and to text or call one of them I have to choose my name, and then select their mobile number from the list of 4 mobile numbers it now thinks are mine. Found this in another forum, and apparently it's been a problem since 2009, and Google has yet to fix it.

Police: 3 shot in apparent murder-suicide in Md.
Wednesday - 9/4/2013, 5:50pm  ET
SALISBURY, Md. (AP) -- Authorities say a 21-year-old man shot and wounded his ex-girlfriend and fatally shot another man at a house near Salisbury University on Maryland's Eastern Shore, then turned the gun on himself.
The Wicomico County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday that 21-year-old Ryan Shallue shot 19-year-old Charles Abbott and 20-year-old Kristen Loetz on Tuesday night before shooting himself.
Shallue was pronounced dead at the scene. Abbott was pronounced dead at an area hospital. Loetz, a university student from Stevensville, was in critical but stable condition Wednesday at the Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.
The sheriff's office says Shallue, who was also from Stevensville, was Loetz' former boyfriend and the pair had argued Tuesday night. When Abbott intervened, the sheriff's office says, Shallue shot him and Loetz.

I bought a lumia 822 device online through an auction site but how do i find out if its locked or unlocked?
it says "verizon" (and i want to know if its locked/unlocked before cutting my at&t sim to microsim size)
in cellular settings, below mode selection , there is
"Your phone will automatically connect to any kind of network specified by your sim card" followed by an option "add internet apn"
can anyone tell me if its locked or unlocked please?
rooby. - 01-27-2013, 12:38 AM #2
You would have to confirm w/Verizon but AFAIK the gsm/hspa bands are unlocked so you can roam internationally. Coincidentally, this means that the phone may work on ATT or T-Mobile in the US (but with no LTE). The CDMA/LTE side only supports Verizon bands and so is effectively locked in any case.
Only way you can really tell is by cutting your sim ( or borrowing another networks sim ) and putting it in the phone. If it's locked, it will prompt you for a code .

This 1,000-room Hilton is an oasis of adult calm amid frenetic child-centric Disney World -- literally, as it's actually within the gates of Disney. The ample rooms and facilities are modern, sleek, and in great condition, while features and services cater to both business and leisure needs; plus, guests get free access to all facilities at the neighboring Waldorf Astoria.
It's the world's largest Marriott -- 2,000 rooms; a huge free-form pool and waterslide; extensive convention space; a great gym and spa; a golf course; seven restaurants. Though largely a business hotel, its location (a 5-minute shuttle from Disney) and large, very comfortable rooms, make it a solid option for families as well.
One of Orlando's best options for families outside of a theme park. The property's 777 suites, all with kitchens or kitchenettes, are spacious and well designed to sleep families. The huge range of kid-pleasing features include two water parks, an arcade, and a "4D Experience" theater. The resort focuses on entertaining on-site, but also offers infrequent shuttles to Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld.

Help Your Messy Sellers Clean Their Ways
By Melissa Dittmann Tracey
Styled, Staged & Sold caught up with real estate pro Cheryl Kirby, co-creator of a new instructional staging DVD for real estate professionals — "Get Ready, Get Set, Get Sold!" — to talk about the simple things you can do to spruce up a property, and when you might need to intervene to stop a seller's messy ways.
Why did you produce the video "Get Ready, Get Set, Get Sold"?
KIRBY: My associate-Cari Gililland-and I are both REALTORS®. We always go on home tours and put our listings on home tours too. We'd go through some of these homes and go "oh my gosh, they really think they can sell this home with all of this dirty stuff all over the place! Don't they understand what they need to do to sell a home?"
We kept talking about producing a video for real estate professionals because some get really uncomfortable saying to their clients: "Your house is dirty, and you really need to clean it." So we wanted to be able to offer them a tool to give to their clients to show them here's what you need to do to compete in the market.
How bad of a condition have you seen properties in?
KIRBY: I've seen homes that smell so bad you can't even walk in, the carpet is stained, and the walls need touch ups. The garbage is overflowing, there's laundry scattered on the floor in the bedroom, pet hair all over, and junk all in the yard. You name it, I've seen it!
So what are some of these important things that sellers can do to get a home ready to sell?
KIRBY: Smell is huge. Smoke, cooking certain foods, and garbage overflowing can really make a home smell bad. The minute a buyer opens the door: The smell is there and can be a quick turn off. Continue reading »

This was an OK park. The staff was very nice and they led you to your site. They cook and deliver pizza from the office. It is nine miles from the Whistle Stop Cafe where Fried Green Apples was filmed. The site are a little hilly and little grass. Area was clean and easy access from I-75. Grocery store across the interstate is good. I would stay again.

We enjoyed the park. We just need a place to stay two nights while we visited family during the day. There was no noise and very little traffic in and out the park. Easy in and out off highway 301. The sites are flat and good grass to park on. They accept Good Sam. I would go back.

The campground is two miles off I-75, exit 283. It is pretty hilly but the sites are reasonably flat and paved. It is gated. Train tracks run a few yards away and they blow a loud horn but we did not mind. Some sites have sewers and some don't. They have a dump site. All in all a nice campground. We spend one night there.

Through the years I've noticed that a few businesses around this area have stood the test of time by offering friendly, efficient service along with fair prices, thereby making it much eisier to buy locally. Here (is one) of those businesses that I believe falls into this category: Zuma Natural Foods- a warm fuzzy-feeling place.

Robin Roberts Tells Fans Her Blood Counts are 'GREAT!'
'Good Morning America' co-host underwent bone marrow transplant for a blood disorder
"Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts, in a public blog post, updated fans and well-wishers that she was recovering well in the hospital. Roberts underwent a bone marrow transplant last month after being diagnosed earlier this year with a blood disorder called MDS or myelodysplastic syndrome.
[ALSO READ: Robin Roberts Upbeat]
On her ABC blog, Roberts sent out "love, prayers and good wishes" to all who had sent them to her.
"My bone marrow transplant took place exactly two weeks ago," she wrote. "The only numbers that matter are my blood counts and they are... GREAT! My sister Sally-Ann's stem cells apparently feel right at home in my body -- an answer to so many prayers."

MANATEE COUNTY — Ever since Ashlie and Ryan Fulmer were married, they knew they wanted to adopt. They just didn't know when it would happen.
The couple began exploring the possibility last year. And now, with a son in the womb, Ashlie Fulmer is deep in the heart of Africa, waiting to bring home their first adopted child, Easton, and to co-lead a team of missionaries in caring for orphans just like him.
"Once we learned of the poverty and orphan crisis in Ethiopia, we knew that our adoption was not just about our desires to have a child, but the desires of a child to have a home and parents," Ashlie Fulmer said.
Next week, she will be joined by six other members of Woodland, The Community Church, during a two-week mission trip to help children who have no parents or home. Through the non-profit missions organization Visiting Orphans, the group, along with 23 others from across the country, will leave July 18, heading first to Uganda and then to Ethiopia, where they will spend time with orphans there.
Members are bringing soccer balls and other sports equipment, nail polish, balloons, bubbles and other items they can use to connect with children.
"Adoption is only one way to care for orphans," Ashlie Fulmer said. "The mission of Visiting Orphans is to have volunteers in the orphanages 365 days a year. If there are always volunteers there to hold and feed babies, play with children and share the love of Christ, these orphans will not be left abandoned.
"Although my 14 days may not change the life of an orphan, there is hope that with enough volunteers, these children are not forgotten," she said.
Braden Woods resident Karen Windon and her daughter, Carly Miers, a student at Braden River High, had been saving to make a family trip to Europe but decided to use the money for this mission trip instead.
"It was like God hit me upside the head with a two-by-four," Windon said. "It just seemed like the right fit. It felt like the right thing to do. My daughter and I talked and decided that money would be far better spent (going to Africa)."
In preparation for the trip, Windon and Miers have been collecting gently used clothing and money to help the children who scavenge for food at the Korah Dump in the capital of Ethiopia.
Ernie McFarland, Ashlie Fulmer's father and another Braden Woods resident, also said he is eager to meet his new grandson and interact with the children in Africa.
"I know it's going to be challenging to communicate, but they understand when you give them something," he said. "They understand when you give them a hug. We're going to love on children. That is our purpose."
Windon agreed.
"It'll be fun and an adventure," she said. "I'm looking forward to seeing what God has in store. He's got far bigger plans than we do."

With two teammates having already clinched state tournament berths, Wapakoneta Redskins junior Colton Brown nabbed a 2-1 win on an ultimate tiebreaker to join Dallas Ambos and Landon Hall at the state meet in Columbus this week.
Three of Wapak's four district qualifiers advanced to state for the first time, while junior Heath Newman finished fifth and is an alternate for the state meet.
The Redskins concluded the two-day Division II district wrestling tournament Saturday at the Stroh Center on the campus of Bowling Green State University.
SPENCERVILLE — The Wapakoneta Redskins held the Elida Bulldogs scoreless in the second period Saturday, the impact from which could be felt the rest of the game.
The Redskins went from a 10-6 first-period lead to a 23-6 advantage at halftime.
Not only did the shutout in that period allow the Redskins to build their lead before halftime but it gave them the benefit of the game's time being on their side, too.
Wapak's lead hovered between 15 and 20 points for much of the second half, never having it threatened by Elida.
The long trip to northern Ohio was well worth it.
The Wapakoneta Redskins made the more than two-hour trip to Star Lanes at the Harbor in Port Clinton and returned to Auglaize County with a sectional championship.
Wapak won the Division I boys bowling sectional tournament Friday and qualified for the district tournament. After three games and six Baker matches, Wapak had the top score (3,878) among 13 teams.
The top four teams from each sectional advanced to this Saturday's district tournament.
From staff reports
Wapakoneta Redskins freshman Josee Kaeck put together her best average of the season Saturday and it advanced her to districts.
The Redskins as team, however, were 19 pins shy of qualifying for districts, as they finished fifth Saturday at their sectional tournament needing a top-four effort to advance in the state tournament.
The Redskins totaled 2,971 pins after three games and six Baker matches Saturday in a Division I sectional tournament at Star Lanes at the Harbor in Port Clinton.
CRIDERSVILLE — Laughter and smiles filled the meeting room at the Cridersville Fire Station on Friday night as many families gathered for Family Movie Night to watch the movie The Croods.
The event was sponsored by Cridersville Health Care and the Cridersville Fire Department. Cridersville Health Care provides the snacks, drinks and movies, while the fire department provided a great viewing space and the proper equipment to project the movie onto the wall.
BOTKINS — In anticipation of next month's competition, Fairlawn and Miami East school choirs joined Botkins Local School in a full-day workshop dedicated to the improvement and interaction of the small school choirs last week.
Botkins vocal teacher Melissa Grunden organized the event along with the visiting choir directors.
"It's almost like an all-day bootcamp," Grunden said. "Just repetition, but, also, I think in hearing other groups, that also kind of kicks them into gear — it ups the excitement a little bit."
Five Wapakoneta High School students were recently named winners of the school's Laws of Life Essay Contest, and are now eligible to compete at the state level in the spring.
The contest is sponsored by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the John Templeton Foundation, and is meant as a character education assessment.
The essay was assigned during the fall to all WHS seniors in their english classes. Students were asked to submit an essay that defined certain laws or values that they live their lives by, according to WHS english teacher Linda Temple.
Two Wapakoneta Redskins underclassmen will get another chance next season, as Charlie Sutton and Josie Miller concluded their appearance at the state swimming championships Friday.
Each qualified from Thursday's preliminaries to the B-finals Friday as part of the two-day Division II state championships at C.T. Branin Natatorium.
Sutton qualified from the final spot in prelims Thursday and then improved on his prelims time by one-tenth of a second Friday.
The sophomore posted a time of 22.08 seconds Friday in the 50-yard freestyle to finish 13th.
For senior citizens who are unable to drive and cannot rely on friends or family members, the Auglaize County Council on Aging (ACCA) offers a transportation service for individuals who are 60 and over.
Auglaize County Council on Aging is searching for caring individuals to volunteer in the "Friendly Visitor" program, which connects volunteers to homebound seniors in their communities.
The idea to bring volunteers into senior's homes started approximately 10 years ago at the center with ACCA Executive Director Christina Roby. While the center's elderly community continues to grow, so does the need for volunteers.

Life insurer Lincoln Financial Group posted a lower quarterly profit, but beat analysts' estimates, helped by higher group protection sales.
The company reported a first-quarter net income of $245 million, or 83 cents per share, compared with $314 million, or 97 cents per share, a year ago.
Operating profit, a key metric of profitability for insurers as it excludes certain investment gains and losses, fell to $296 million, or $1.00 per share.
Analysts had expected the company to earn 98 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Revenue for the quarter was almost flat at $2.71 billion.
Group protection sales rose 47 percent to $67 million during the quarter.
Lincoln Capital's shares were marginally down in extended trade. They closed at $24.58 on Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange.

Power plants can bid on more than one product. That's why most spark-spread studies miss the mark.
Forward energy prices can make it look easy to place a value on a power plant. Yet...
A case study shows how today's typical tariffs can force some industrial electric customers to subsidize others.
There ought to be a better way for electric utilities to set prices for ancillary services - so that customers pay rates that fairly reflect the needs they impose on the bulk power system. However, while federal officials seem to agree with this point, so far they have done little to turn the idea to action.
Last spring, in its notice of proposed rulemaking on regional transmission organizations (RTOs), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission appeared to encourage innovative pricing for ancillary services. At that time it wrote, "The Commission believes that, whenever it is economically feasible, it is important for the RTO to provide accurate price signals that reflect the costs of supplying ancillary services to particular customers."[Fn.1]
Several years earlier, in Order 888, the FERC had warned against the simple solution of charging for ancillary services through transmission rates: "Because customers that take similar amounts of transmission service may require different amounts of some ancillary services, bundling these services with basic transmission service would result in some customers having to take and pay for more or less of an ancillary service than they use. For these reasons, the Commission concludes that the six required ancillary services should not be bundled with transmission service."[Fn.2]
Nevertheless, in spite of the FERC's fine words, almost all utilities today charge for ancillary services on the basis of customer demand (in megawatts) or energy (in megawatt-hours). Likewise, the existing and proposed independent system operators use billing determinants that have little or nothing to do with the services being provided.
By contrast, we believe that in competitive electricity markets the prices set for each ancillary service should track two ideas: (1) charge the costs to those that cause the costs to be incurred; (2) collect the costs to reflect the factors that contribute to these costs.
As an example of the first point, operating reserves are required to protect bulk-power systems from potential adverse effects associated with major forced outages at a power plant or transmission facility. For a plant outage, the costs of operating reserves should be assigned to generators, and should reflect the frequency and severity of forced outages. Although these costs ultimately are paid by retail electricity consumers, charging them to generators encourages generation owners to maintain equipment to reduce the frequency of forced outages.
As an example of the second point, the amount of generating capacity assigned to the regulation service is a function of the short-term volatility of system load. Therefore, the charges for regulation should be related to the volatility of each load, not to its average demand.
In this article we discuss the economic efficiency and equity benefits of assessing charges on the basis of customer-specific costs (rather than the traditional billing determinants, megawatt-hour or megawatt). We focus on two key real-power ancillary services - regulation and load following. We determine the extent to which individual customers and subgroups of customers contribute to the system's generation requirements for these two services, in particular

Arts and Music Education
We look at the data that show how arts and music are extremely valuable as part of the education system.By: Brandon Less, Sibley Scribe
Today's high-stakes testing for high school students focuses on sciences, mathematics, language arts – the core classes. In a general sense, one could say that these subjects are the keystones to our education. So is there even a point to teaching other subjects? It costs schools money that they could be investing into math and science. Already in some states, schools have cut out music and arts other elective programs for this reason. But what affect can this have? Are the arts and music really beneficial to teach in high school? How could one even show a student's progress? In fact, there are many reasons to have a vibrant music and arts program in schools. Art and music helps to develop teenagers' self-confidence and personality, and are positive outlets for teenagers' complex emotions. Art and music education provides physiological benefits that prove beneficial to the education of high school students and the help to develop student's creativity that is necessary to flourish in our society.
Scientifically speaking, music and arts education is beneficial to the teenage brain. Learning to read music helps to develop students' comprehension skills. A piece of music involves many different symbols and notations which students must first learn to interpret before being able to replicate them. In order to play the piece, students must to be able to rapidly interpret the symbols. Learning these skills is beneficial to student's comprehension skills, which, in turn, is beneficial to their reading comprehension skills.
Music and arts education also fosters creativity, thinking on your feet and "outside of the box" thinking. Composing a new rhythm, drawing, painting, dancing expressively, acting…these are all ways of developing creativity toward existing problems and situations. It also happens to be one of the skills that CEOs and other executives in the workplace are desperately looking for in their new hires. These same CEOs are really looking for problem solvers too…. people who can think deeply and critically. Artistic endeavors are born through solving problems: Turning emotion into dance, turning metal or wood into a sculpture, turning ink or paint into a tableau. These require reasoning and understanding which is what many employers are looking for.
Another aspect of music and arts education is the gain in confidence many students experience. Art and music require abstract thought and input and anybody participating must allow room for failure. Nobody - whether an artist, a musician, an engineer, a teacher, an athlete – can be on top of their game all the time, so learning to accept failure is healthy and necessary. According to Lisa Phillips, a leading arts educator, speaker and author of The Artistic Edge : 7 Skills Children Need to Succeed in an Increasingly Right Brain World, theater and choir programs force students to "practice stepping out of their comfort zone and allows them to make mistakes and learn from them in rehearsal." Rehearsals help to build students confidence to the point where they can perform in front of a large audience.
Part of the arts is learning from constructive feedback. Performance evaluations and discussions with peers or teachers allow "children to learn that feedback is part of learning and it is not something to be offended by or to be taken personally." Once students can accept this notion, their confidence heightens.
Teenagers need an outlet for their complex emotions. Whether they admit it or not, teens have many emotions running through their minds every day, especially in the prime of puberty. Speaking for myself, these emotions need to be let out. Some teenagers paint a picture to express their emotions. Some may write songs or a musical composition. Music and art are great outlets. "The ability to focus is a key skill developed through ensemble work. Keeping a balance between listening and contributing involves a great deal of concentration and focus." The focus that art and music require allows students to apply their emotions to creating a certain piece of music or a kind of sculpture, thus, expressing themselves through art. The idea of creating something from an emotion is what allows teens to explore themselves and find their niche in the world.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Cincinnati Reds' veteran radio announcer Marty Brennaman never has been afraid to speak his mind.
Such decisions haven't always been in his best interest, but the 68-year-old has earned some clout during his 37 years in the booth.
On Saturday night during Marshall University's preseason baseball banquet and fundraiser at the Cam Henderson Center, Brennaman - the keynote speaker - determined that Marshall's president must be "queer" for softball since the university managed to open a $2.5 million softball facility in March 2008, but baseball is still traveling for home games.
Think that'll go over well with the guy - Marshall President Stephen Kopp - who is partly responsible for bringing a Herd baseball facility to Huntington?
Brennaman gave his opinions on everything from the struggles of the Pittsburgh Pirates to Pete Rose's Hall of Fame prohibition.
Many of his comments resulted in rousing ovations as he spoke to a contingent of more than 400 interested in what he had to say.
The preseason banquet - during which the members of the Marshall baseball team introduced themselves - included the Herd's former record-setting coach, Jack Cook, and Toronto Blue Jays Manager John Farrell.
Coach Jeff Waggoner made no bones about the purpose of the get-together: to raise money to replace University Heights Field - a rundown, dirt-covered tract of land that serves as the Herd's home for non-Conference USA baseball games. Marshall plays its conference games at Charleston's Appalachian Power Park - roughly 45 minutes from Huntington.
Pledge cards were available, Marshall supporters and alumni were seated at tables across the tarp-covered basketball floor where Coach Tom Herrion's team plays.
Also on hand was Tim Meeks, Hurricane businessman and father of Marshall catcher Thor Meeks. The elder Meeks pledged $20,000 to the cause over the next five years.
Also in attendance were Hurricane High Coach Brian Sutphin and Buffalo Coach Billy Joe Hicks. I attended as a guest of Poca assistant coach J.R. Collins.
I mostly was struck by Brennaman's candor. When asked a question during the three-plus hours event, he didn't dodge it.
He was open about the status of the Pittsburgh Pirates, a longtime rival of the Reds. The Bucs will enter the 2011 campaign hoping to end a Major League-record string of 18 consecutive losing seasons.
The West Virginia Power is the low Class A affiliate of the Pirates and plays at Power Park, which Marshall calls home for Conference USA games.
I would guess nobody briefed Marty on the Herd's indirect association with the Pirates?
"They've (Pirates) probably improved themselves, which means they'll probably lose 97 games," said Brennaman of the Pirates, who were 57-105 in 2010. "There's no light at the end of the tunnel for that franchise. There really isn't.
"I don't think it has great ownership, I don't think it has great baseball expertise in its front office, and is strapped for finances, which is probably the single biggest problem. I feel bad for them. PNC Park is one of the fine ballparks in Major League Baseball."
As for the Reds, Brennaman said they'll be the hunted this year, instead of the hunters.
Last season, the Reds earned their first playoff appearance in 15 seasons, but will be challenged to repeat as champions of the National League Central Division - which includes Milwaukee, St. Louis, Chicago, Houston and Pittsburgh.

FMCSA 9-04 Contact: Patrick Quigley Monday, August 2, 2004 Tel.: (717) 221-4443
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced today that eight school bus contractors and three school bus drivers in Harrisburg, PA were fined after a series of investigations conducted in May found them in violation of federal drug and alcohol safety regulations.
"FMCSA takes seriously its responsibility to protect the safety of school bus riders," said Patrick Quigley, FMCSA Pennsylvania Division Administrator. "We will not be satisfied with anything less than 100 percent compliance with federal safety regulations from the school bus transportation community."
FMCSA completed 70 compliance reviews on bus contractors and school districts during this investigation, looking closely at their drug and alcohol testing programs and adherence to federal safety regulations. Most of the carriers investigated were in compliance with the drug and alcohol provisions.
Motor carriers are required to conduct random controlled substance testing at an annual rate of 50 percent and random alcohol testing at an annual rate of 10 percent of the average number of driver positions.
The following bus contractors were fined for either failing to conduct random controlled substance or alcohol testing or for using drivers in violation of federal drug and alcohol safety regulations: Brownsville Bus Lines, Inc. was fined $14,490; James O. Sacks, Inc. was fined $12,930, Martini, Inc. was fined $8,720, Wilson Metz was fined $8,480, Class 1 Bus Company, Inc. was fined $5,710, DeNaples Transportation, Inc. was fined $5,640, Bowman Brothers Trucking, Inc. was fined $1,990, and Carrier Management Inc. (DBA Matthews Bus Company) was fined $1,980.
In addition, three drivers were found to have violated the drug and alcohol regulations and fined $1,750 each.
Contractors and drivers fined will have the opportunity to contest the alleged violations and the amount of the penalties in an agency proceeding.
FMCSA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

I'm starting to think I restored system settings I didn't mean to with TiBu.... I may try this again soon (I noticed another post here with 10.6 in the signature... I might wait a few days if that's coming soon, especially if it fixes the active-buttons-are-almost-as-dark-as-inactive-buttons thing someone else pointed out.)
As for the SD card, I only put things there that I want but don't need super-fast access to. The fact that Google restores system settings like WiFi passwords and so on is A Very Good Thing... but automatically restoring the apps? Not so much, especially when it never puts them back on the SD card. And as for app settings - I really despise re-entering settings on dozens of apps: that's what I bought TiBu for.

Wielding a pair of pliers, 14-year-old Shawnda (not her real name) carefully reconnects six wires to the headlight of a black 2002 Harley-Davidson. The bike's light—not to mention its fender, seat, and saddlebags—has been badly mangled in an accident. But when Shawnda pushes a button on the handlebars, a bright beam appears. Now Shawnda, too, is beaming. Along with the 12 other girls gathered around the bike, Shawnda is a resident of the Abbott House, a treatment facility for troubled teenagers in South Dakota. She's never ridden a motorcycle, let alone fixed one. But Laura Klock—co-owner, with her husband, of a local bike shop—believes they can teach her confidence and help her "discover things about herself she didn't know were there." As a teenager, Klock found refuge from her parents' divorce in a Suzuki bike."My motorcycle was always something I could control, even when everything else was out of my control," she says. Her bike later helped her weather a struggle with addiction. She passed on her passion to her daughters, now 18 and 21—who, like their mother, have set records in races at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats. "I used motorcycles to teach them things I couldn't have otherwise," says Klock. "To challenge themselves, to work as a team." Klock's daughters—and her own troubled history—inspired her to start the Bike Rebuild Program. "If kids can learn to repair a damaged motorcycle," says Klock, "maybe they can also repair their lives."
After hearing this summer about OWN's Thank You Game, reader Fatiha Occhialini wrote in to share her story of gratitude. In 2010 Occhialini learned about vision boards from the Oprah.com Spirit Newsletter. She created her own board, starting with a photo of the Great Wall of China, which she hoped to visit someday. Last year she traveled from her home in Philadelphia to Beijing and brought along her June 2011 copy of O. "The words thank you on the cover of the magazine were a daily reminder of how grateful I was to achieve my dream of walking the Great Wall!" she said. I know two things for sure about raising a girl to be a strong woman: 1) It's really important and something I'd like to do, and 2) The parenting maxim "Do as I say, not as I do," probably isn't going to work out so well here. So how do you balance being a responsible mother with modeling awesomely brave behavior? Super Chicken has some ideas. Super Chicken is looking for donations to help her and her (awesomely sporting, it seems) daughter see as much of the world as possible. But she's also looking to spread the word, to help others conquer fear and embrace risk, adventure, and above all, it would seem, a sense of humor. I'd like to admit that while just reading her description of her project, I think I stopped breathing for at least a minute: But! But you can't! You can't do that! And this is exactly what Super Chicken is talking about. Why live in a world of "But you can't do that"s? As Super Chicken (I imagine) would say, there are plenty of people out there to say "you can't." You must be the one to tell yourself "I can."You can ride a horse dressed as an enormous chicken. You can travel the world if you want to.You can educate your children the way you think they should be educated, by traveling and experiencing and meeting people and learning to live not only safely and well but without the "you can't"s.

So I am overwhelmed just reading about Lou Xiaoying, the Chinese rubbish collector who rescued more than 30 abandoned babies over the course of her life. Although she lived in poverty with her husband and her own children, Lou personally raised 4 of the children and found homes for the rest. According to the Daily Mail, Lou said, "The whole thing started when I found the first baby, a little girl back in 1972 when I was out collecting rubbish. She was just lying amongst the junk on the street, abandoned. She would have died had we not rescued her and taken her in. I realized if we had strength enough to collect garbage how could we not recycle something as important as human lives." She adopted her youngest child when she was 82. Now, according to the Huffington Post, Lou Xiaoying is dying of kidney failure, and trying to raise money to help support her youngest children after she is gone. She is being hailed as a hero in her community, and no wonder. Any mothering has echoes of the heroic in it, but when you add extreme poverty and an even more extreme altruism, when you think of the children whose lives had no value to anyone but Lou, well, it kind of makes you want to rise to the occasion, to find the bit of Lou Xiaoying in all of us. (Read the whole article to learn more about how China's policies have likely contributed to the large number of abandoned babies and about how you can contribute to Lou Xiaoying's family.) Read More: The Controversy Over Older Mothers The Baby You Have to Give Back Do you ever wonder what your legacy will be? Aaron Collins, according to his mother in this heartbreaking CBS news clip, "wanted to leave the world a better place than when he found it." His family always knew he would do something amazing, something to change the world, to help people. When he died last month at age 30, he left behind reputation for kindness and a peculiar wish: "leave an awesome tip (and I don't mean 25%. I mean $500 on a f***ing pizza) for a waiter or waitress." According to Aaron's brother, "Aaron was the type of person that took great joy in unexpected kindness...Of course, the way he lived his life meant Aaron never had much and
didn't leave much. We want to make his wish come true... His hope was clearly that such a random gift of
kindness would leave an impact for life."
The family started raising donations and soon they had thousands of dollars to bestow upon unsuspecting waitstaff. Like Sarah, at Puccini's Smiling Teeth in Lexington, who said, "Are you kidding me?" and then, immediately, "I'll share this with everyone." (Just as, one suspects, Aaron had planned.) The story is a beautiful one for Aaron's kindness, and for his family's devotion to helping his kindness live beyond him. But it also serves to remind us all that our contributions to the world, our own acts of kindness, need not be huge. That sometimes the best way to reach out is in some small, specific way -- making a harried waitress's day, for example -- a gesture that helps to create a culture of kindness. The kind of culture we all want to live in. Read More: Oprah's Pay it Forward Challenge When Fate Puts You Last for a Reason One of the most happy-tear inducing moments of the Olympic torch relay was when 13-year-old torch bearer Kieran Maxwell, who lost his leg to cancer and now walks unsteadily with a heavy prosthetic limb, stumbled and fell. Immediately, his family and neighbors hurried to his side to help him. And, as he has with every other setback life has thrown at him, Kieran stood right back up and kept going, with a smile on his face. All across the world, hearts swelled.
Particularly moved were Colin and Chris Weir, Britain's largest lottery winners, who have donated some of their millions to buy Kieran a lighter, state-of-the-art prosthetic limb. Kieran's family had been fundraising to buy him the new leg, as his current heavy prosthetic restricted his movement; his mother told the BBC, "He couldn't believe it. I am still pinching myself...He can go back to being a normal boy. He can be himself. Words cannot describe what they have done." The Weirs have donated to other causes since winning their jackpot, saying they wanted to "share the luck." And in doing so, they are transforming lives. How's that for a torch to pass on?

This story comes from the City of Big Shoulders itself, Chicago, where a visitor from Alabama made the mistake every rider of public transit fears, and accidentally left her purse on the train. Take a moment to make sure you know where your purse is. I know I had to after reading this, form the Press-Register: "Minutes after exiting Chicago's elevated train, known as the "L," Nancy Pierce was in a panic. She realized that she'd left her purse with her cash, credit cards, iPhone, even her favorite dangly silver earrings, on the train. " SHUDDER. After a complex ordeal, including some creative ID work to be able to fly home, Pierce settled into her daily life back in Oakleigh, Alabama. Two weeks later, a mysterious UPS package arrived. Yes, it was her purse, sent by the good Samaritan who found it. (Read the whole article for the sender's sweet apology for taking so long to return it.) Pierce said, "I was so excited, and so touched that this woman would do this. It certainly restored my faith in people, and made it even stronger. I know there are really good people in this world." She says she'll visit Chicago again, and even ride the L. Kind of warms even a city-dweller's crusty polluted heart.

In the case of Sean Keown, a Vermont man who shipped off a message in a bottle some 35 years ago, the recipient of his letter ended up being, well, himself. A teenager found his ancient bottle with its hidden note intact, and, being a teenager, googled the name and located Keown. He then put the note in an envelope and mailed it to Keown, who then called him to say "he'd been waiting 35 years for someone to find it." Keown also told his local news station that he'd promised a reward to the bottle's finder: "I was thinking maybe a candy bar or a soda, at the time I was in elementary school. Yeah, it's going to be a cash reward now." More Good News: Girl Scouts Get Badges For Happiness Six-Year-Old Finds Rare Fossil Advertisement

GOUVERNEUR The Town Council probably will fill the vacancy caused by the death of board member William E. Mashaw, but not immediately.
Were not going to rush into it, Supervisor Robert R. Ritchie said.
The board is expected to talk about the vacancy at its meeting Feb. 11.
Mr. Ritchie said he expects to make an appointment at some point because Mr. Mashaw, who died Sunday, had two years left on his term.
Two years is a long time to go with four guys, he said.
Anyone appointed who wanted to continue in the position would have to run in November for the unexpired term and then again in 2016 for the regular four-year term.
