March 1, 2014, marked the beginning of the Cedar Key Lions' eighth year of Adopt-a-Highway pickup along State Route 24 entering Cedar Key.
The Lions collected 110 pounds of trash on this first quarterly outing of 2014.
The Cedar Key Arts Center plans to share a bit of Art Festival history at its April Exhibit titled, "50 Years of Art Festivals." The group is hoping that some of you are willing to share artwork that you purchased over the years at Cedar Key's Spring Arts Festivals. The artwork will be on display at the Arts Center during the month of April and we hope that festival visitors can step back in time and enjoy a little history during the 50th Annual event planned for April 12 and 13.
Cedar Key's own, Captain Danny Allen of Southern Salt Charters, is pictured at the 23rd Annual Outdoor Expo in Tampa talking about fishing and fishing season in Cedar Key and the "do's and don'ts" as well as giving pointers and insight on when to plan a Cedar Key trip for fishing and sightseeing.
Capt. Danny made the full day trip to Tampa to educate folks on Cedar Key and its fishing heritage as well as to promote visiting Cedar Key.

Topic: Teachers
Prizes as MotivationSo, after 1153 Questions, 938 Discussion Board Postings and 4 Document Uploadings (not to mention hours of ceaseless toil on behalf of enotes) I have finally achieved Editor Emeritus Status. But, and thinking pedagogically here, would I have bothered if I didn't have the glittering prize of this badge awaiting me? Or, to put it in concrete terms, do our students perform best when they have external motivation to win prizes or badges or awards like we do as enotes editors, or are they driven by internal motivation.
And the biggest question is, now that I have Editor Emeritus Status, have enotes shot themselves in the foot? After all, I have no more clearly defined badges to win, so what is my motivation for continuing to work?
So how does this apply in the classroom?!

I don't think it's the badge but the money. I have a Class Econ System in my classes, and without it, I would not have the continual high test scores, teacher awards and have a high percentasge of students attend an Ivy league School, all here in Korea. Prizes are an excellent source of motivation, just not everything.
I actually give all of the money I get from eNotes and use it as prizes in my auctions.
Posted by epollock on October 19, 2010 at 5:35 AM (Answer #2)
Kids do seem to gravitate toward rewards of some kind. Candy worked as a general reward, but most schools frown on sugar treats these days. I used to donate baseball cards and request other items from teachers. We would have a Chinese auction a couple times per year; students with the best grades had previously earned the most tickets, so at least they had a better chance at winning.
Posted by bullgatortail on October 19, 2010 at 6:30 AM (Answer #3)
I think students definitely seem to try harder with rewards set in front of them. At one school I taught in I was able to offer students 10% extra credit for any assignments they turned in early. It was a wonderful incentive for second semester seniors taking economics. They knew when they were going to have conflicts with school plays, senior activities, and athletic events. If assignments were late they would lose points, so most of them chose to get them done early and get the extra credit. When it came to final exam time, much of the pressure was significantly reduced because they had earned extra credit during the semester.

Ah, fear not! There are more badges and awards in the works.

I think most all students work for some sort of reward, our goal as teachers and educators should be to move the student from extrinsic rewards to intrinsic rewards. This is sometimes difficult depending on where the student is coming from.

Rewards are a necessary feature of a society. Although the idea that intangible rewards like being highly responsible, or the A on the report card would be wonderful, money talks. Benefits talk. Heck, I'll fill out a survey if I get 10 bucks off my next grocery shopping trip.
For students, I think they understand (at least by high school) that they are working their way through a big hoop so they can eventually earn money. It is a necessary process in life to get to go to college which in some cases can earn you more money.

Looking forward to the Editor-Emeritus-Emeritus Award, Scott haha. Not only do prizes work as motivators, but it doesn't even have to be much of a prize. Kids will do a lot of work for a few extra credit points, and I have had students, years later, come back to me and say they still have the dorky certificate I printed up with their name on it. It's more the recognition than the physical prize, just like I love it when I get five stars, knowing full well there's a teenager on the other end of that ratings system. We're human and we're motivated by rewards.
Posted by brettd on October 19, 2010 at 4:51 PM (Answer #9)
I was surprised at how motivated I was by the enotes badges. I guess I used to feel the same way about making As in school. I don't necessarily need the external incentives, but they do help! It has made me realize that I should do more for my students. The carrot works better than the stick.
I teach highly motivated students, and I usually don't have do that much to keep them motivated. But last week when we were doing Macbeth, the student who made the the highest grade on the Act 1 quiz was able to choose whichever part he wanted to read for Act 2; the grades for the Act 2 quiz this week were much higher! It doesn't take much, I am realizing. People just like to know that their efforts are noticed.
Posted by susan3smith on October 19, 2010 at 5:05 PM (Answer #10)
I agree that it's recognition which fuels a sense of accomplishment. Contests and things like "Stump the Teacher" (where their quiz grade is based on the three best questions they ask me) are always not only good motivators but a good way to eliminate some of the naturally humdrum aspects of a class.
Posted by auntlori on October 21, 2010 at 1:13 PM (Answer #11)
In my classroom I have a 'smiley face board' - yes, I teach seniors. If a good answer is given, their name goes on the board, then each subsequent answer gets a tick. Objective = all class on the board. Students often set themselves a goal of a number of ticks if we are working on a text they know well. I was observed by a colleague who said at the end of the lesson, 'What's the reward for this?', meaning te notes on the board. One of my boys simply pointed and said 'That is.'
Recognition is the best reward, however it is manifested: be it a badge (and I celebrate my e-notes ones with glee) a candy or a compliment.

I am a kindergarten teacher and I do use rewards as an incentive to get my students to behave and follow the rules of the classroom. I work on the color system to chart behavior ---green, yellow, red---and if at the end of the week the student has stayed on green each day, they receive a prize out of the treasure chest.
You should see some of the crushed faces I have to deal with if one of my students does not get to go the treasure box. Seeing their friends happy to get a toy makes them more determined the next week to stay on green. They will even tell me they are working to stay on green because they want to be able to pick a toy.
Of course external rewards only works if the person cares whether or not they get one. I do have 1 or 2 students who this does not work on and I have to find other ways to motivate them.
Overall though this system has been working in my class and helps keep them focused (most of the time).
Posted by lshepheard on October 23, 2010 at 4:29 AM (Answer #13)
I realized that everyone, no matter his or her age likes ANY kind of recognition when, jokingly, I used some juvenile stickers on GED students' papers and then wrote a sincere not underneath. When one student did not receive the sticker, she asked about it. I told her that part was mere joking. But, she still wanted it; gladly, I gave it, of course.
However, when everyone gets a trophy just for completing a mile walk/run or for being around long enough to have amounted so many whatever, the meaning of the prize is, indeed, mitigated. After all, part of value of the honor is the quality of those others who have the same honor. Sometimes our "feel-good" society forgets this.
Posted by mwestwood on November 9, 2010 at 11:15 AM (Answer #14)
With students, prizes are motivators, but so is just plain old competition. I create a tale-telling contest for my Canterbury Tales unit project, and I've found that even when students don't know there is a prize, they still just want to win! They want to have the best tale and be recognized.
Recognition here, I think, is key. Many students don't get recognized in their daily lives by their parents. Some students aren't the type who win awards and recognition from extra-curricular activities, or scholarships. Sometimes getting a piece of candy for being the first one to answer a question correctly is the only "win" a student may have during the day.
I feel this way sometimes too... when everything in my life seems to be going badly, I might think to myself, "Oh well, at least my football team has a winning record." I think winning is important, whether there's a prize in it for you or not.
Posted by howesk on November 17, 2010 at 10:49 AM (Answer #15)
I teach students who are not extremely motivated. And, while prizes may be nice, I would like to think that positive reinforcement actually works better than prizes, although I have given both on occasion. In my inclusion class which has special ed and general ed kids, I notice that what seems to be best is to use compliments and positive reinforcement. The students seem to respond best to that tactic.
Posted by trophyhunter1 on November 21, 2010 at 5:57 AM (Answer #16)
I have taught everything from college students, honors classes, to unmotivated juvenile delinquents incarcerated for any length of time according to their records. I agree that positive reinforcement is the best motivator. To be recognized by student vote for the best sentence created out of movable pieces, or to have their names on the board for teacher recognition of an answer, a question asked, or a positive response to a peer's answer, seemed to be what they wanted most. Of course I also used tangible rewards such as jolly ranchers for almost anything so that I could recognize even the loud ones --for a leadership tactic in class, a great smile, or whatever was needed. I found it useful as students didn't always want me to talk to them at the time, but wanted to discuss the recognition at home or later with me.
Posted by mizzwillie on November 21, 2010 at 2:22 PM (Answer #17)
There are a great deal of wonderful points made here, as well as good ideas for the classroom.
I have historically had students of varying academic levels, and therefore, also varying motivational levels. Across the board, after close to twenty years of teaching on the secondary level, everything but 10th grade, I have found the growing preponderance of apathy, and disheartening lack of intrinsic motivation difficult to address in the classroom.
I believe teachers are always looking for new ways to engage their students. For so many of us, it is not just a way to make money: though that is certainly a big part of it (bills, bills, bills). However, I think many teachers (more than the public could imagine) actually enjoy learning to teach others, and having the ability to connect with their students on a deeply personal level in guiding them to increased self-actualization and personal success.
As we "grow up," we find satisfaction in growing intellectually. A grad class taken that affords the "A," as mentioned, may now mean more to us than an "A" at sixteen might have. We do enjoy, as also mentioned, a pat on the back and recognition for our efforts, especially when we go "above and beyond."
The badges are great motivators for us as adults and professional learners and teachers, in whatever guise we operate. Preparing lessons that grab the imagination of students usually disinterested is an awesome feeling. Watching the lightbulb go on is an experience that is hard to match.
I am glad to hear that more badges and awards are coming. The money is helpful.
However, discussions with other eNotes professionals provide us all with ideas and encouragement, and allow us to connect with other "educators" where a hectic day at work does not often afford us with the opportunity to do so otherwise. It is wonderful to be learning for learning's sake, and to be able to pick your collective brains. Thanks for sharing.

i think the name of this system should be "REWARD SYSTEM".yeah this is a very nice and provoking systen for student.for an example i want to mention here my own story that in inetrmediate i git fail once but by father give me some respect and said that i will buy a cricket bat for you and said that i know this is not your way you can do more than it, of course you can do what you want and the next day he bought a bat and gave me also freeship to play cricket although i was fail in that year but this gave me proudness and now i m a student of bhu ,so i personally think that this is a quit good way to make forward to students.i m with it. this is a request to all the users that go and check my bolg using this link http://vikas10011990.blogspot.com and check my last tittle "VALUE OF LOVE" comments are also invited.
Posted by vikas1802 on November 30, 2010 at 3:33 AM (Answer #19)
Students need to feel good about their efforts to appreciate their academic experience. Some students may feel good about mastering a skill or learning new things, but many feel so far below teacher expectations that they need another motivation. As a young student, I wouldn't care about anything we worked on unless I could feel clever, and sometimes that meant winning a prize.
While I was teaching English in China, the students loved little things like stickers. I suspect that their infatuation eventually grew from a social desire to not be without stickers. I believe that the best rewards are going to be psychological, though. When students feel engaged, whether that's through entertainment or confidence, they will enjoy learning and make the process smoother.

First of all, I DO want those 50,000 points! I think one thing we lose sight of is that prizes make things fun. They turn work into a game. I like helping others on enotes, and I like making some extra money that I do need, but I also enjoy collecting badges and points!
Posted by litteacher8 on August 12, 2011 at 2:45 PM (Answer #21)
When I joined Enotes there were no extra badges like "scribe" or the three levels for editors. I didn't even know that there were EARNINGS (AND I AM FOR REAL)! I actually had so much fun finally being able to express myself and practice my writing (and I have compared how I used to write versus how much Enotes has helped me improve) that I totally did not read whether there was anything there "for me"-whatever that means.
I do remember being told that I was accepted as an editor and I was like "OK?". Then, when my SSN was requested I finally clicked on the "earnings" button because I had made the connection that an SSN is required for all forms of payment. Anyway, to make the long story short (too late now) I was so happy that my love for literature earned me 9 dollars! I just love doing this. If they said tomorrow that there is no badge or no money I would still do it because I've been a happy-go-lucky freelancer for a long long time. To be 100% honest with you, the fact that my little future empire logo, Herappleness, is visible to the world is good enough for me. :)
PS: But absolutely, in this economy and me working for a government that consistently threatens to shut down, the extra cash is appreciated!

About The Verve Pipe
The Verve Pipe Tickets - You're on the Verve With This Michigan Band!
Lansing, Michigan, had something going majorly when a few guys from the capitol came together -- with the names of frontman Brian Vander Ark, bass guitarist Brad Vander Ark, drummer Donny Brown, and guitarist Brian Stout. In 1992, they formed the Verve Pipe, signing with RCA Records in 1995 to start off their remarkable music career.
The Verve Pipe Tickets - The Music of the Pipe
Villains, of course, is their defining album, and also their debut, featuring the hit single 'Photograph.' And although the single as well as the album made serious waves in the industry, it wasn't until 'The Freshmen' was released as a single that the album really took off. With the album going platinum thanks to the second single, a second album was a definite as the band began to work together to release their self-titled sophomore effort in 1999. 2001 saw the release of a third album as well entitled Underneath.
The Verve Pipe Tickets - The Sound and Style of the Verve Pipe
With their soft rock grunge sounds, they became an instant classic among college campuses everywhere, specifically in that era of rock n' roll when ballads were so dominant. 'The Freshmen' was exactly that -- a ballad. But not your traditional ballad. It had an important message behind it, and that's what made the Pipe's stardom explode in a major way. Let's not forget how infectious Brian Vander Ark's vocals were, though!

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The FGCU men's soccer team (0-1-1) returns to action Wednesday night when it travels across the state to take on FAU (1-0-1) for its lone midweek non-conference match of the season.
The Eagles are coming off a 4-3 defeat at the FGCU Soccer Complex to FIU on Saturday night, and will be meeting the Owls for the first time since the 2011 season opener. FGCU – ranked No. 14 in the nation by Goal.com entering that contest – allowed two second-half goals en route to a 3-1 loss. All-time, FAU holds a 3-2 edge in the series and has claimed each of the last three meetings after FGCU began the series with wins in 2007 and 2008.
The FGCU offense is off to a hot start as the Green and Blue has tallied five goals over its first two games for a 2.5 goals per contest average, the highest among all Atlantic Sun Conference teams. Individually, the Eagles' Felipe DeSousa (Tampa, Fla./Wharton HS) leads the club with three goals, while the sophomore's average of three points per contest is tied for second-most in the NCAA with Lipscomb's Omar Djabi.
DeSousa has attempted five shots on the year; four of those have been on frame and three found their way into the back of the net. With two second-half goals against FIU on Saturday, the native of Brazil became just the third player in FGCU history since joining Division I in 2007 to tally double-digit career goals with 10.
After opening the year with a 0-0 double-overtime draw at UCF, the Owls responded with a 3-1 victory in their home opener on Sept. 1 against D-I newcomer UMass-Lowell. FAU has not played since – a 10-day break from game action – and its match versus the Eagles is the second of five straight at the FAU Soccer Complex. Ryan Price scored a goal and added an assist in the Owls' win over the Riverhawks, while Deniz Bozkurt and Daniel Montoya tallied the other two. In net, Theo Jamilloux has played all 200 minutes and has allowed just one goal and made nine saves. The freshman keeper has a goals against average of .45.
In their last outing Saturday, FGCU fell behind in its home opener to FIU, 3-0, before getting on the board in the closing seconds of the first half. The Panthers struck again midway through the second half to go up, 4-1, before DeSousa scored both his goals in a 20-minute span. A final attempt by Aaron Guillen (El Paso, Texas/Coronado HS) in the 87th minute rang off the post, snapping a 10-game unbeaten streak dating back to last season.
The 10-match stretch was tied for a program record with the 2010 club. It also broke a six-match winning streak at home and a seven-game unbeaten streak, dating back to the Green and Blue's lone loss at the FGCU Soccer Complex to VCU last year, 2-1.
The Eagles return home on Saturday, Sept. 14, for a marquee showdown against Wisconsin at 8 p.m. The Badgers are ranked No. 6 in the Great Lakes Region. The FGCU volleyball team hosts the current No. 3 team in the nation, Penn State, earlier in the evening, and fans who purchase a ticket to either that game or the men's soccer game will be granted admission to both events as part of FGCU's Big Ten Faceoff promotion.
2013-14 men's soccer season tickets are now available by visiting the Alico Arena Ticket Office, calling 239-590-7145 or logging on to FGCUAthletics.com/Tickets. Season tickets are $30 for adults and $15 for youth (ages 3-12). Single-game tickets can also be purchased for $6 per adult and $3 for youth. Groups of 10+ can receive a discounted rate of $3 per person. FGCU students and faculty/staff are admitted for free with a valid University ID.

— Twinkies.
Somewhere, a dietitian is cheering. In other quarters, not so much.
To Americans of a certain age, the death of this iconic snack will be tough to swallow.
The 82-year-old Twinkie has fallen prey to Americans' increasing health consciousness, competition from gluts of similar treacly treats and, most pertinently, the mundane machinations of a labor strike.
The already imperiled Hostess company couldn't handle all the burdens on its plate. Hence, 18,500 workers nationwide will be laid off and those vaunted yellow sponge cake cocoons filled with sugary white spackle will go the way of cassette tapes, mullets and Mitt Romney.
To be sure, most Americans of the aforesaid certain age now snarf Twinkies about as often as they wash their Schwinn Sting Rays and tie-dyed Ts. Which is to say, never.
But that's not the point. Even though we don't use it we still don't want to lose it, if only because Twinkie death is too close a metaphor for our own mortality. It's one more brick in the wall of the crypt, so to speak.
But we'll roll with the demise of this corn-syruped, hydrogenated-fatted, empty-caloried cardiac-event-in-waiting because that's what we do.
Besides, nothing lasts forever, except maybe Joan Rivers' face.
And if you're thinking about laying in a few boxes for posterity, better clear space in your freezer because, contrary to conventional wisdom, Twinkies' shelf life is not infinite.
The company contends that they'll last about a month at room temperature. Hey, it's a baked good, not Irish whiskey.
The Twinkie has impacted our culture in ways other than producing punch lines and paunch lines. It also has been an educational tool.
In 2010, Kansas State University professor Mark Haub subsisted on a convenience store diet mainly of Twinkies and similar fare. He wanted to demonstrate to students that in losing weight, calorie counting matters more than nutritional values.
The guy lost 27 pounds in two months.
And in 1991 Ron Arensault, a teacher and science fair coordinator at Jefferson Elementary School in Mankato, placed a Twinkie atop a cabinet in the teachers lounge.
It remains there still, black and hard as coal but a testament to the academic rigors of, uh, food science.
Hostess officials this week offered a ray of hope. Though they're shuttering Twinkie plants, they intend to put the orphaned brand up for sale.
Sure, buying it would be a little like adopting a pet shelter mutt with three legs and arthritis. But what dog can offer that smooth creme filling?

Aussies, Canada, USA Top 3 in Wheelchair Rugby |
International - Olympics | ||
Canada had no answer to Australia's greater speed and organisation. And they did not have a clue how to cope with Batt, who cemented his reputation as the world's best player in a 66-51 win. The 23-year-old, appearing in his third Paralympics, scored 37 goals to give him a remarkable tally of 160 from his five tourrnament starts. Canada were effectively out of contention by the end of the first quarter, when they trailed 18-11, and Australia required no second invitation to turn the screw. The silver medallists at Beijing 2008 went one better this time around, ending the five-day tournament as its only unbeaten team. They collected Australia's 32nd gold medal of the Games, and 85th in total. The USA, reigning Paralympic Games champions and world number ones, won bronze after recording a comfortable 53-43 victory over Japan. Chuck Aoki inspired them to victory, with his 13-goal haul - backed up by 10 from Joe Delagrave - ensuring Japan were always up against it. Although they only lost the opening two quarters 12-11 and 12-10, Japan conceded a crucial five-goal advantage in the third quarter that condemned them to defeat despite 27 goals scored by Ikezaki Daisuke. USA coach James Gumbert said: 'I'm overwhelmed, they lived our model "together as one", and they went out there and said "we're going to leave it all out there for each other". As a coach, that's all you can ask for your team.' |

Problems saving on Pages
PeterBreis0807 Australia
You hardly need to use Mail to type up your documents.
For a start there is TextEdit, and lots of free alternatives such Bean, iText Express, NeoOffice, OpenOffice, AbiWord, GoogleDocs, Blaze, ZohoWriter, AjaxWriter, JDarkRoom, Writer, Writer.app, and LibreOffice if you want a different approach to Word Processing.
There is a "reach for the nearest tool as a hammer" thinking here. You don't have to use Pages and there may be many good reasons to choose something else.
It is frustrating that Windows users know nothing outside MsOffice but rabbit on about the enormous number of Applicatioms they could use, "If they wanted to". The same with Mac users and iWork. It is all like something out of the "French Tickler" sketch in Monty Python's Meaning of Life.

Hi, AHH1:
When I had problems with making corrections in a document I was typing in Pages, I became utterly frustrated as at that stage it would not accept my corrections and instead created some sort of sign language connected with small lines!
I later found out that this is Pages Designers' new feature to give a you a second chance
to reconsider any changes that you would want to make to correct your spelling and other errors in the document.
So I quit Pages. I opened up Thunderbird which is my e-mail application of choice, but you probably can do the same with any other e-mail program. In the e-mail I selected "write to" and started typing up my document.
When I needed to bring in a Picture to this document I opened the picture with Preview and then dragged this
picture into my document.
I then had Thunderbird check it for typos, and saved the document.
When I had finished the document I copied its contents by first selecting all of it then hitting "Command" and "C" on my keyboard.
I then opened a blank 8.5 x 11 template page in Pages, and pasted the copied stuff into it.
Time saved about 2 hours of fighting the gimmickry in Pages. You will also save yourself from frustration and any temptation to fix your document with a hammer!
If you want you can still change fonts, etc. in that new Pages document, then go select the pulldown menu by clicking "Untitled" at the top of the document, choose "Rename" and enter your document name, then "Move To" in the same pulldown and enter where you want it saved to.
Only after you have done all that can you "lock" the document, but you may have to re-open it first from
whatever place you saved it to, you use the same pulldown menu in which you chose Rename, and choose "Lock".
Just all this sounds awefully cumbersome and it is difficult.
Why? "Pages" is exactly that difficult, and nobody in his right mind would use it as a Word Processing
program for a business where time is money.

Definitely matter of opinion. While Pages is not perfect, I've been using it since it's inception at home, school, and work without much issues. It's actually been more efficient and easy for me to use compared to many other programs I've used.

You've lost me on this.
Not sure what you are seeing but as you seem to make a deal of 'hitting "Command" and "C"' I think it is all a mystery and reflection of your unfamiliarity with both the user interface and Pages.
If you get into the more advanced aspects of Pages, yes it does get difficult, but not at this level.
If it is new to you, yes there will be things to learn. It could be simpler, but then so could just about everything.

Hello Peter, thanks for your input, here is my explanation:
Some people did not understand why I had trouble making typo corrections in Pages
After some 35 years of working on Mac OS, using Clarisworks, AppleWorks, and MS Word, I thought knew just about everything that can be done in word processing.
I started to do my typing after picking a font and its size, etc., but later I looked at some of the new menus with which I was not familiar, in the process switching some of the new menu settings of and on and watching for their effect.
Some did not have any visible effect. Thus, I must have left one of them "ON", namely the setting that prevented me from making corrections. It was, I later discovered, found under the EDIT Menu with the name "Track Changes".
Now all those people who say they had never a Problem with Pages please turn on "Track Changes", and then try to make any corrections! Then keep on typing.
Only then willl you see the Nonsense possible while wordprocessing with Pages, which I discovered the hard way. I tried for hours to undo the damage to my document, without a clue of how to do it. I could not find anything in "Pages Help" that would lead me to the Problem.
Now why would any user want to set his document so he cannot make any changes? Its like malware if put into a wordprocessing application.

I must admit I don't use Track Changes but I always test what people post here.
I've opened a Word Processing template (Green Grocery letter), turned on Track Changes and have typed merrily away. The text is marked in blue with the TC bar in the margin indicating the change but it is not slow or anything I can detect.
I am sure you are experiencing the slow downs you report but the real cause is something else or something else in combination with Track Changes.
So we need a fuller description of your set-up, what exactly you are using and where you have your file saved. eg Do you have Time Machine on, are you using iCloud, are you saving to a remote HDD or server? What font are you using if you are seeing odd lines?
Anything that may introduce delays.
You may be familiar with other WP programs but Pages has some of the best organised menus and Inspectors around. I wish everything categorised and grouped functions as neatly, especially the Big down to the Little arrangement from left to right.
Take a little time to look around and it will mostly make sense to you quite quickly.

It sounds to me that you Track change activated. You can turn it off. You are not saying which system you are on or which Pages version though so I say how it works on Snow Leopard with Pages 9.0.5.
This is what it looks like in my Pages
You turn it off in the Edit menu - Turn off tracking
A good thing to do is download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu. I got myself a book The Missing Manual for iWorks 09 and it has helped me a lot to learn about Pages.

Hi again, Peter:
Now that makes 2 of us who will never use "TRACK CHANGES", I wonder who would be so much of a nerd to think that this option is necessary to stop people from correcting their own documents.
After starting to type in Pages I noticed all the extra menus at top, some of which I had never seen in Word Processing. I then tried to find out what they were for, by switching them on and off, and watching for effects.
Somehow I must have left "TRACK CHANGES" on, and as I found out after much experimenting the next day, it resulted in an entire new menu line being displayed above the document, with
"a whole row of buttons and submenus all designed to prevent the user from correcting any errors"
he found in his document.
My document looked similar to the following (recreated) attachment (Click on attachment to enlarge) :
Since I had no idea I had set up this option, I tried for hours to find out why I cannot correct my typos, including going to help and Pages Manual entering search words "Corrections", etc. in search windsows, without success.
This is what took the time. My new MacBookAir with 10.8.2 is working very fast, and I am not "SLOW" either, so I did the next best thing: Use Thunderbird, copy and paste in, edit, add my pictures, and copy and repaste into Pages. Why I did not use TextEdit? I can't drag in pictures. Why not use NeoOffice? I would have to buy it, since it is no longer free for a version that can be run in MaOS 10.8.2. All the other "why not use other applications" (you named a lot) I did not have any of them on my computer (and should not need them after paying for Pages).

The FormatBar is contextual, it changes depending on what you are doing and where your cursor is, showing the relevant tools for that situation.
You can drag in pictures into TextEdit, also audio and video. In fact there are few OSX apps in which you can't do all of that.
LibreOffice is free as are a wide range of alternative applications.

Did it really never occur to you that Track Changes is not an option "to stop people from correcting their own documents," but rather something for people who have other people edit their documents, but want to check the changes the other people make before accepting them?

Is your document being saved to something like a DropBox folder? Something that's synchronised to a cloud stoarge system? That was what was causing this behaviour with my system.

{Sneak Peek} Inside my Apartment
Let's start here. Brass chandelier, spraypainted blue and hung in the living room:
I'm obsessed with dinosaurs lately (you'll see). Lucite box full of 'em.
Top of my dresser. My bedroom is full of all different shades of pink, from pale to neon. Loved these cheap, bright frames I found at Target.
OK, so also obsessed with neon pink lately. I took this white dressing table (and Ikea mirror) and gussied it up a bit.
An apartment is never complete without a proper gallery wall:
Why, look! It's mah puppies! And yes, I do dress them hipster-style in American Apparel baby tees.
If I had any energy, I would've cleaned this up for you. However. I did want you to see the awesomeness of this vintage hotel mailbox. (Bonus: Holds lots of junk!)
A bright pink T-Rex keeps watch over my bed.
My lifelong dream -- inspired my Alber Elbaz's own giant red dinosaur -- of owning a giant red dinosaur is now complete.
My collection of white ceramics and milk glass is becoming famous! (Or infamous! Whatever.) But you need some white when you're as color-obsessed as I am.

Thanks! Bought two! The $1 generic I had charges like crap. Hopefully this will charge better.
I have bought several car chargers in the last year or so including what I think is this one. They have all stopped charging my phone within a few months. I have never bought one of those $25 branded oem charges cuz I am a good slickdealer, but I am starting to think either they all crap out after a few months, or maybe, just maybe, those chargers last longer. Still, I'd rather keep buying these kinds and take my chances I think. Just my 2 cents.
you probably got a fake or a dud |
there maybe compatibility issues with these microUSB chargers
my Motorola car charger charges my MOTO Droid just fine but my MyTouch4G and Nexus S refuses to be charged. Maybe the current it offers goes too high and the newer phones just shut off the charging current for self-protection?
I ordered this thinking it was the same as i bought before. Mine was crap! The plug has to be wiggled/propped to charge and it fits extremely loosely with no latching at all. Maybe I just got a bad unit but it went almost straight to the trash.
Buy this one: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Ve...sb+charger I have had 2 of those and they are rock solid. |
Posted before (now $.50 cheaper): http://slickdeals.net/f/5803530-Motorola-Micro-USB-Rapid-Rate-Car-Charger-3-25-Free-Shipping
While the charger most certainly has rapid charging capabilities...Potential buyers BE WARNED, that if you have this connected to a dock or position the tip of the cable at ANY type or form of an angle, you will be plagued by connectivity issues down the road. I've gone through three, all suffering form the same fate. |
I used this charger for an year or so before it tripped my car's fuse. What is even weird is that it doesn't trip my Altima and charges phones in it just fine, but it breaks the fuse of Infiniti.
Infinity blames it on the charger because any other chargers work fine with my car. I tried to put the blame on them because this charger works fine in wife's Altima. Weird Last edited by stubbornboy; 02-13-2013 at 02:13 PM.. |
my point is that dont trust the name motorola. it's not that great as people think it is. |

The Shelby County Rape Crisis Center is starting a weekly support group for rape victims whose rape kits were among the 12,000 left untested by Memphis Police Department over a 30-year period.
The announcement of the support group came Tuesday, the same day the Tennessee Legislature convened for the year, with several proposals connected to the scandal expected to at least be debated, if not acted on, during the short election-year session.
NASHVILLE (AP) – Supporters and critics of a new set of benchmarks for math and reading are getting their voices heard this week, as a state Senate panel holds hearings on the common core standards that have been adopted to some degree by 47 states and the District of Columbia.
A STEP IN SYNC. I have in my possession a rare document, evidence of a shared spark of hope, a light at the end of all the tunnel vision, a warm fire in that cold cave in Nashville.
I have a letter signed by two gentlemen of color – one black and blue, one white and red – pledging cooperation in a state program that could genuinely and uniquely benefit Memphis rather than target and isolate it. Think of it as Auburn and Alabama, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, Pelosi and Boehner, wet ribs and dry ribs, humans and Klingons – all together to save the universe. I have a letter jointly from and signed by state Sen. Reginald Tate, chair of the Shelby County Legislative Delegation, and state Sen. Mark Norris, Senate majority leader.
After much speculation about resistance from other parts of the state to lifting the statewide ban on special school districts statewide, the bill to do that sailed through the Tennessee House and Senate Monday, April 15.

Week Monday, April 1, at 10 a.m. in the University Center Bluff Room, 499 University St. Guests include Sen. Reginald Tate and Jessica Hord of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Memphis. Cost is free.

NASHVILLE (AP) – A proposal to allow wine to be sold in Tennessee supermarkets and convenience stores scored its first legislative victory on Tuesday after years of frustration.
The Senate State and Local Government Committee voted 5-4 to advance the bill that would allow cities and counties to hold referendums next year to decide whether to expand wine sales beyond the state's nearly 600 licensed liquor stores.
The Shelby County legislative delegation to Nashville returned to the capital Tuesday, Jan. 8, with three fewer members – one state senator and two state representatives – all Democrats – but with no new faces.
The board governing The Regional Medical Center at Memphis has formed an ad hoc committee to review and make recommendations regarding the amount of business the hospital conducts with minority-owned companies.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. is expressing concern over representation for the city of Memphis in the three levels of redistricting plans now pending – county, state and federal.
Wharton wasn't specific about his concerns, but he told the Memphis Kiwanis Club Wednesday, Jan. 11, that he will have an announcement soon on the issue.
Tennessee Senate Democratic leader Jim Kyle of Memphis and Republican state Sen. Brian Kelsey of Germantown are in the same Senate district under a redistricting proposal unveiled by Republican legislative leaders Wednesday, Jan. 4, in Nashville.
NASHVILLE – House Speaker Beth Harwell, who donates her own legislative expense payments to charity, has moved to curtail the expense money other state representatives collect for out-of-state traveling.
Most members of the Tennessee Legislature are just now getting a crash course in the controversy that has dominated Memphis and Shelby County politics since Thanksgiving.
As the state House and Senate prepare for fast-tracked votes Monday evening in Nashville on schools consolidation legislation, they aren't getting a lot of help from Democrats or Republicans in the Shelby County legislative delegation.
There would be no countywide referendum on school consolidation under an amended proposal on schools consolidation offered Wednesday by state Senate Republican leader Mark Norris of Collierville.
A Democratic senator opposed to legislation that would limit lawmakers' reimbursement for air travel inside Tennessee said the measure passed Monday by the Senate is unfair and "insulting."
Sen. Ophelia Ford of Memphis expressed outrage at the proposal that was approved 29-2 by the Senate. The other dissenting vote was cast by Sen. Reginald Tate, D-Memphis.
Seven state legislators from Shelby County will begin new terms of office in January.

Hardaway, District 96 Republican state Rep. Steve McManus, District 97 Republican state Rep. Jim Coley and District 98 Democratic state Rep. Ulysses Jones.
The Aug. 5 elections will feature two races for open seats on the Shelby County school board.
At the noon Thursday filing deadline for the four odd-numbered district seats as well as the state and federal primaries, board member Anne Edmiston did not file for another four-year term. Board member Teresa Price had announced earlier that she would not be running either.
The stage is set for the county's most anticipated political showdown in the Aug. 5 state and federal primary elections.
Noon today is the deadline for candidates in the primaries, as well as those vying for nonpartisan seats on the Shelby County school board and the three judicial positions, to file their qualifying petitions for the ballot.
The state Senate has unanimously approved legislation that makes it illegal to produce or distribute in Tennessee any substance that mimics the effects of marijuana or cocaine.
The proposal sponsored by Democratic Sen. Reginald Tate of Memphis passed 32-0 on Monday.
Today is Election Day for voters in parts of East Memphis, Bartlett, Cordova and Germantown. Polls in those areas are open today from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Seven Memphis legislators formally have requested that the Tennessee Regulatory Authority (TRA) investigate the fiber optics company Memphis Networx and its connection to Memphis Light, Gas & Water Division (MLGW).
Jeanne Richardson and Dave Wicker Jr. advanced Thursday to a July 17 general election showdown for the State House District 89 seat.
Richardson won the Democratic primary and Wicker captured the Republican primary in the low turnout special elections. Only 1,178 of the district's 33,000 registered voters cast ballots either on election day or during early voting.
