Local Citizen MicroreportingPosted: October 27, 2007 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
A couple weeks ago I applied for a grant from the Knight News Challenge for creation of a microreporting infrastructure — an idea I've been batting around for about a year now but haven't had time to implement (check out, for example, this ghost town).
Not sure if I'll get the grant or not, but here's hoping.
The idea is actually pretty simple. A corps of volunteer microreporters report news and gossip as it happens through text messaging or email. Those microreports of one or two sentences are posted in real-time to a common site where they can be community rated and commented on.
The idea is partially informed by a thing I've noticed at Blue Hampshire: occasionally posting a small skeleton story on a site filled with insiders generates a really full story via people volunteering information in the comments.
So in the world of microreporting, if you witnessed an accident (or more likely the aftermath) you might write
Motorcyclist down on West st. In front of T-bird mini mart. Ambulance and cops arriving. Looks like skidded out in turn? Not sure. Traffic routed thru tbird lot.
Which is on its own is worth something — if you were worried about someone who is late, for example you could check the site, and if you are going somewhere you could make sure you avoid West St.
But the real benefit would come with user comment and ranking. If it's an important story, readers would push it to the top. If multiple reports come in, readers would be given a facility to group the reports. But most importantly, people could correct and expand on the stories. A reader listening to the police scanner could fill in details. If someone a day later heard something about the accident, they could add it. A person familiar with that intersection might also comment about whether there was a pattern of such things.
Assuming people did this non-anonymously, under their own names, a reporter or blogger could look at the original microreports plus comments and with a couple calls for verification very quickly put together a story.
Such a system would allow the reporter or blogger to focus on story selection, verification, and storytelling rather than the more mundane work of finding and assembling the smaller pieces from which such stories are composed.
I'm not saying this would always be the case — obviously there will always be a place for traditional source-building and investigative journalism. But for local stories in small towns, which are written on ever-shrinking budgets, the efficiency gained with such a system might make it possible to continue to provide the coverage which helps to hold small communities together. And that, to me, makes this an idea well worth trying.
Help me out with my proposalPosted: October 23, 2007 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
There's a story that Will Robinson tells, perhaps apocryphal, Â about a student that took their first draft of a paper, and posted it to Wikipedia. After a week or so they took it down, newly edited, fact checked and sourced.
Well, maybe this will work, and maybe it won't, but I'm involved in writing an academic technology vision statement (along with compratriot Jenny Darrow), and I couldn't help but think of that story. Why labor in the dark when so many people smarter than me read this blog?
So I'd like to invite any of you that read this and have ideas about what an Academic Tech Vision document should look like to comment over at:
The password is highway61. You can upload your own idea of a vision plan, or comment on ours. The idea is, if this is sucessful, to create our plan in a way that is a testament to net-enabled methods of creation.
And it it fails… well, I think it's a noble act to attempt to eat your own dogfood. So we'll soldier on. But I really do invite all the people that stop by here occasionally to comment or post their own idea on the wiki… that crowd includes, but is not limited to, Stephen Downes, Jon Udell, Jim Groom, Martha Burtis, Andy Rush, Leigh Blackall, Bernard Lunn, Royce Robertson, Richard Nantel, Jeff McClurken, Artichoke, Nils Peterson, Harold Jarche, Scott Wilson, Jerry Slezak, Gardner Campbell, Bill Fitzgerald, etc. (sorry I don't have time to link all those names).
Actually looking at that list of people who have commented or linked here, I'm suddenly struck by how blessed this blog, at less than six months old, has been. It's kind of overwhelming, really: you get any two people from that above list together, and you probably have a brain trust. Three and it's a think tank.
So let me add that whether you help Jenny and I out with comments or not, I'm really just stunned how gracious people have been with their comments and links to date, and grateful.
So maybe see you over there? (And if you want to sport a link to the project and invite your own friends to help, as always, very much appreciated…)

(The best address to reach me at is firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions. And yes, after I get this done, I WILL finish the Pecha Kucha project.).
The proposal I'd like to writePosted: October 17, 2007 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 Comment
So we're about 20 hours into this week, and so far I've spent over 10 of those hours on drafting an academic technology plan for my institution.
I have trouble explaining why it's so hard to draft, but perhaps if you've ever tried to tie a policy document into the greater fabric of policy documents at your college or large corporation, you'll understand. What seems to be happening is I'm coming at this downward, from the broad objectives of the college, and then trying to fit my thinking into that framework. Like all policy documents, it has to be a bit of a magic trick — I have to show how the aims of the college have led to this approach to technology the whole time.
But of course, my understanding of technology doesn't really descend from the aims of the college. It comes from a lifetime of solving problems using computers and networks, from ten years of applying technology to "academic" problems, and from political blogging, where it's become really apparent to me that even in areas where problems are not technical that a creative orientation to technology can quite literally allow students to change the world.
So here, completely off the top of my head, 15 minutes before the meeting where I will present my tortured institutional draft of the AT plan — here is what I would *like* to it to say:
We'll use technology to help students and faculty to change the world. Sometimes that means pulling together people to colloborate and solve a sticky problem. Sometimes it means providing a service that no one has thought to provide. Sometimes it means setting up a Learning Management System to automatically import a student roster so that a professor can spend that time with students instead of Excel. Ultimately if you can show us an interesting problem, we can tell you how technology and network thinking can address it better. The more it would improve the world relative to the effort required, the higher it goes in the queue.
We'll graduate students who think creatively about technology and loose processes. Today's world belongs to the systems analyst, the person who understands that a loose process is as much a machine as a tightly programmed circuit board. The person that understands where it makes sense to encode a process in a circuit board, and where it makes sense to encode a process in a short verbal agreement. The person that knows how to evaluate a process as a whole, and swap out the defective or inefficient bits, and improve what they do incrementally. Our students when confronted with a task won't ask where the application is that can do it for them — they'll assemble new and old technologies in front of them, like a chef reverse engineering a recipe. And they'll start to mix.
We will bring our own institution (and our learning) into the Networked Age. The Information Age has been supplanted by the Network Age. And while that network is technology-mediated, the ramifications of this transition exceed technology. Students will graduate into jobs that don't exist yet. They don't need facts. They need to learn to use the network to learn. We'll stop teaching them in ways they will never encounter again, and embrace our mission of showing them ways to learn which they can use over their lifetime. This means more wikis and less lecture halls, more Just-in-Time learning, more distributed knowledge. What they need is on the network. Let's show them how to get it.
Well, time's up — Have to head to this thing now. That's not complete, but it's amazing what you can write in 15 minutes if you start from the direction you entered the issue. And it's amazing how many hours it takes to write against the grain….

Networked Learning and Distributed ReportingPosted: October 15, 2007 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: ocw 2 Comments
If I go often to the well of what's going on in the Politics 2.0 and Reporting 2.0 space, it's because few areas are going through such a radical high stakes change.
Not change in a political sense, mind you. Much of the change going on is a rather frantic bid to make sure that new technologies don't erode existing power structures both in media and politics. But the stakes involved and the very real wakeup call received by the establishment in 2006 has led to a situation where the political space is ahead of the curve in use of new technologies and organizational principles.
So it's no surprise that we see a glimpse of the new world of work today from Huffington Post's Off The Bus group of reporters (disclosure: I'm one of those reporters).
It was a normal subject they covered today: Sen Obama's campaign did a massive door-to-door operation this past weekend. The average coverage of this would be to send a reporter out to one of the 40-odd cities where this canvassing was taking place.
Off the Bus had a better idea: since they have dozens of reporters already in these locations, why not ask them all to stop by their local event, and get some basic information about the canvass — people involved, why they were there, basic turnout numbers, doors knocked on, general level of commitment of people talked to.
It was information a local person could gather in about 30 to 60 minutes, both by talking to the organizers and tagging along for a couple door-knockings. And since the people tagging along were local, they could put the information in context.
Off the Bus set up a Survey Monkey form, and mailed it out to any of their reporters who could spare the half hour. One blogger was responsible for compiling the data and putting it together, but the data was made available to all involved (in fact, the raw reports were made available to the general public).
And what was the result of this? Well, it was a mixed bag. The reporters were in many places stonewalled by the Obama campaign. Where they did tag along though, they found that for the most part support for any candidate was far softer than what polls have shown, and that people as a whole are tired of talking about the Iraq war.
Briliant? Groundbreaking?
Perhaps. Perhaps not. But look at the mechanisms and philosophy on display: radical transparency (in making all reports viewable), distributed tasking, use of simple online tools such as Survey Monkey, multi-literate reporters taking video, writing copy, all coordinated through a Google group, and done at almost no cost — because the reporters are already in place…
This is not just the future of reporting. It's the future of our networked world. In fact, it's the present already in many industries where need for the coordination of people with different specializations exists.
Do our students know how to work this way? Are we teaching them?
I'd argue that projects like UMW Blogs do just that, showing people through that ecosystem of Google Reader, WordPress, and MediaWiki the power of the network.
(and you can add any of my previous endings here — you know the screed. Why in the world would we send kids out into the networked world with a BlackboardTM understanding of life?)
Front Page HuffPoPosted: October 10, 2007 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 Comment
So after all the political stories I've labored over, I finally made front page on Huffington Post — with a story I wrote in 5 minutes while downing my morning coffee.
Oh well, I'll take it! Thanks to the Off The Bus crowd who have been pushing hard to get these stories by amateurs like me better placement.
Curatorial TeachingPosted: October 8, 2007 Filed under: ocw 18 Comments
Finally got around to listening to this. It's good. It's nascent, but maybe that's why I love it so much:
It's not a total solution to the sage-on-the-stage v. guide-on-the-side but it's a great rethinking, and it's very practical to implement.
It's also refreshing that Siemens approach is not kick-against-the-pricks* (an approach I'm often guilty of) — his approach respects that there is not here a complete historical break with previous teaching, but an accenting of things that were always a part of good instruction, and now need to be accentuated because of the realities of a highly networked world.
*Note on the phrase "kick against the pricks": Since it seems this phrase is less known than I thought…."Kick against the pricks" is a Biblical phrase meaning roughly "rebel against authority despite immense pain". It comes from a metaphor involving oxen and sharp pointy sticks. Kicking against the pricks represents an ideological yet futile rebellion against authority for the sake of doing the right thing, rather than out of hope of possible success.
It comes to me not through the Bible, but through the awesomeness of Nick Cave.
Entrepreneurship meets Service meets Academic Engagement…Posted: October 8, 2007 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
…and it's not even that hard.
I've said before that one of the fundamental things the university has not come to terms with is that in an environment where failure is inexpensive, undergraduates can be pushed to solve real problems, rather than to practice solving problems they might encounter once they get out of college.
In the world of net-enabled education, this is possibly the most important differentiator. And it will change the face of undergraduate education.
The product that colleges will be giving you in twenty years is not a degree, but a reputation. The number of students that have done something significant and public in undergrad will hit a critical mass, so much so that the reputation of colleges will be largely determined by what they helped their students do while the students were under their mentoring.
Here's the thing: people in higher education often object — "But our students aren't that smart! Not everybody can be an entrepreneur!"
Or they say something else with more syllables, but they mean that.
They are wrong.
Case in point — the hottest New Hampshire political blog right now is not Blue Hampshire or GraniteGrok. It's New Hampshire Presidential Watch, a blog run by a St. Anselm's undergrad.
What is it that attracts visitors? Incisive political analysis? Horse race statistics? Round the clock reporting?
Nope. What the kid who runs it does is take all the emails and other info he gets from all the Presidential candidates, and does the painful but absolutely essential work of organizing it into a single calendar. And because he's become the destination site to find out who's in the state, candidates now send him the updates. And because he now has an audience, he *can* do political reporting, and be read by thousands.
No algorithms. No advanced marketing plan. Just someone saying to a kid, you know, I wish I didn't have to go to 16 different sites to figure out who was in town, and the kid thinking: I can solve that.
The talent is not in the compilation of these materials. It's in that impulse: I can solve that. And because this impulse is what fuels the new economy, this kid will never want for a job. He will graduate Saint A's, and the degree will be a footnote to what he already accomplished.
He'll graduate with a reputation.
You can call it service, or entrepreneurship, or academic engagement; in truth, it's all three.
What you can't call it is idealistic. It's here and now. It's happening. And there's absolutely no reason not to embrace it.
Support Music over Lawyers. Buy Radiohead.Posted: October 3, 2007 Filed under: Uncategorized 2 Comments
The end is near. And that's a very very good thing.
Radiohead is offering it's newest album on it's website for advance download.
The revolutionary thing? You pay what you want for it. Two dollars, ten dollars. Whatever. You make the call.
The experiment has even got mainstream investing sites abuzz, saying that if this works, it could be the end of the pricefixing era of music.
Sometimes though, history needs a push. I'm going over to get the new album right after I finish posting this.
You should come with.
I told you I was serious:
This is me buying the album for about 5 bucks American (damn that exchange rate!).
That's a decent deal for a Radiohead album (if it was the new NP's album, it'd be more).
You should go do it.

3 Idiots takes a while to lay out its game plan but pays off emotionally in its second half.
There's an unavoidable joie de vivre (symbolized by Rancho's meditative mantra "All is well") and a performance charm that make this one of the more naturally gregarious Bollywood imports.
In writer-director Rajkumar Hirani's tuneful, enjoyable college comedy, 3 Idiots, Khan plays "Rancho," an engineering student so brilliant that he barely has to break a sweat to place first in his class.
The film's good points, though, are marred by a slow start and a nerve-jangling soundtrack.

Feb 8, 20143 Idiots is always fun for me, as a film reviewer- some movie suck, some rock and some are so sad and inspirational and funny at the same time- those are the works to sum up Vidhu Vinod's best movie yet. The movie is about 3 college friends who try to meet up again by the most smartest of their group- Rancho played brilliantly by Aamir Khan, Mahadeven and Sharman do a good job too and the movie packs emotion and laughter. It's 3 hours- a long movie with a long and great message. While cliched, still, 3 idiots manages to be one of the best bollywood movies I have ever seen. It's a rare, funny treat at the movies if you haven't seen it. Rated U/A Parental Guidence for language and emotional moments In India and Rated PG13 in us for thematic elements, language, some violence and partial nudity.… Expand
Oct 21, 2011It is a long movie but I am still eager to re-watch it. The actors have brought their great sense of humor to the screen play in an almost flawless way. The mixed feeling of touching and funny are just dramatic enough. My teardrop have hit the ground for several times when it comes to those touching scenes. It may be the best comedy that I have ever watched.… Expand
Jun 30, 2013Despite it being rather long, I enjoyed 3 Idiots. Prior to watching this, I had never seen a Bollywood film before and I would love to watch more. The characters are both funny and, somewhat, relate-able. I thought the story line was inch perfect and the ending was not what I expected!… Expand
Jun 21, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 3 Idiots is a rather great Bollywood movie, truly hilarious and yet with a very focused and introspective message on life and the choices we make.
From a screenwriting perspective, it's almost the perfect script. It has a large number of different characters that all stand out and manage to be interesting in their own way, with a number of themes weaved throughout the film that makes it a very well put together piece. The actors also all do a very good job, and the songs are memorable, better than most Bollywood movies.
Most of all, the movie has an infectious youthful spirit that is very hard not to like. A refreshing, at times moving and very funny, blast of summer air.
But, here's the thing.
And this is more a reflection on society than a fault of the movie, yet it is remarkable to observe how unaware the characters are that the very message of the story, about freedom and making your own choices, is undermined in every way by the way the film ends. Because at the end, after all that talk about not caring about social status and money and living your life freely...all of the characters are singing and dancing and crying tears of joy because A) they got high-paying jobs or B) they are getting married and fulfilling they social contract.
That is how society works, all over the world. All people deep down understand that life is not meant to be slaved away working for money or titles. Everyone wants to "change the system" or "be different." But at the end of the day, the vast majority of people are too afraid to reach out for true freedom. True freedom, either by individuals leaving the system or working to abolish the system, does not have a happy ending. Freedom is not free. The price for freedom is in blood, and often in isolation. For most, the true price of freedom is too high.
And so, like all the characters in this movie, they create a "false freedom" in order to fill that gaping hole in their hearts. They make fun of the character who is greedy and openly lives for his love of money, thinking they are different but at the end they submit to the chains of marriage, to the chains of working for a corporate company. The main character, who most boasts about this "freedom" is a perfect example of this. He encourages others to choose the majors they are interested in studying, to do what they want with their lives but it just so happens that, conveniently, his own choice in the engineering field will make him a very rich man. It is easy for rich people to tell the poor that money is not important, it is a whole other thing to live that life.
So all of that together, 3 Idiots is a delightful movie about characters creating false freedoms and finding joy in them, which is a lie the majority of mankind tells itself each and every day when it wakes up in the morning. Is there no hope left for true freedom? Are there no more warriors left to fight the good fight? Or must we all get married and get corporate jobs? Is a happy lie better than the harsh truth? Let the philosophers ponder. But Neo said it's not.… Expand
Nov 20, 2011Three Idiots is a nice movie, it is a great watch with family for some good story. The plot is great and depressing while the acting of all the characters is just great, Aamir Khan is a great actor that always does great acting. The humor is well crafted and the drama is carried very well in the movie. The movie has funny and depressing moments that mix to create a powerful experience. There are flaws with the movie and that is that the story is drawn out a bit to long and there is one scene where it is one misfortune and one strange luck act after another in a rather inappropriate scene for children which was most definately not required. Overall "Three Idiots" was a great film that is most definately worth watching for it blends drama and comedy into a unique movie. Breakdown for "3 Idiots": Presentation: 8.5, Plot: 8.25, Acting: 9, Script: 8.75, Lasting Appeal: 8. Verdict: 8.25 out of 10 "Great"… Collapse

Doge Marino Grimani's love of ceremony and state festivals fuelled an extraordinary musical bounty during his reign and formed the background to the musical riches of the period, especially to the works of Giovanni Gabrieli. With cornetts, sackbuts and an all-male consort, Paul McCreesh fully exploits the dazzling polyphony of Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli's music and captivates the audience in a theatrical and ceremonious performance. Two decades later, the Gabrieli's New Venetian Coronation takes advantage of huge developments in early instruments, performance techniques and research into the pieces that were on the original (as well as advances in recording techniques).

Why would I want to read more when I try to get understanding from the few and there is no reciprocation or answered questions.
These are just some verses that help clarify it to me:
"For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 it is not of works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
"He saved us, not by works of righteousness that we have done but on the basis of his mercy, through the washing of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us in full measure through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7 And so, since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life." (Titus 3:5-7)
"But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
"Because Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring you to God, by being put to death in the flesh but by being made alive in the spirit." (1 Peter 3:18)
We will never obtain perfection on our own. It's not possible. As believers, we are saved from our own imperfections because of the mercy of God and the sacrifice Christ made.
"Did we live to die for love?"
We are the righteousness of God!! In Christ. That which is not righteousness is sin. We cannot be both righteousness and unrighteousness Walk in that righteousness. Walk in Love and you will NEVER sin. You've been made perfect. Be perfect then.
You say we cannot be perfect?!! Are you saying that God wants us to be something impossible? Then you don't know do you? What is perfect? Again! We cannot look at modern definitions. We have to look at the meaning of the time of the writing.
Perfect. in this case Greek meaning
1) brought to its end, finished
2) wanting nothing necessary to completeness
3) perfect
4) that which is perfect
a) consummate human integrity and virtue
b) of men
1) full grown, adult, of full age, mature
Not impossible at all. So then....how do we become perfect? Get into the Word. Stay there. Get to know Jesus. Get to know the Father who is our Source. He will do the doing! All you have to do is Abide in Love.
There is nothing complicated about our life in Him. Just trust and obey as the song says.
God didn't say that we would no longer sin, He said that he would not count them against us.
Romans 4:
8 Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them.
Romans 6:11
11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Our sin died on the cross, it didn't leave us or simply go away.
These are all quotes from St. Paul. Are you telling the rest of us that Paul was sinful BUT, you are not?! How do you change these around and show how Paul was saying that he was righteous and could not sin? Read these carefully:
Romans 7:
17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.
Romans 7:20
20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
Romans 7:25
25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin.
Now to address your comment about being perfect!:
1 Corinthians 13:
8Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9For(O) we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but(P) when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12For(Q) now we see in a mirror dimly, but(R) then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as(S) I have been fully known.
[COLOR="RoyalBlue"] This is Paul again, talking about when we die. He says that the "perfect" comes then and not until then does our imperfection pass away. How do you change this around to show us where you are perfect now and Paul said he wasn't !?!
"If Christ is in you, God does not see your imperfection or sinful nature, he sees his son Jesus Christ. Yes God calls us blameless, Holy and Righteous but it is not our it IS NOT our blamelessness, Holiness and Righteousness but what God sees in Christ in us! Once again and unfortunately, there is a great divide between us and what the "Gospel Of Grace" means!!!

Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
Unless you're an ace at the Napoleon Dynamite dance routine, it's a fair bet that moon boots are probably not your pick this season. Luckily The North Face considered you and half a billion other fashion-aware guys when they designed their insulated Boundary 200 HV Hiking Boot. Beneath the quality waterproof suede upper are a waterproof and breathable HyVent membrane and plenty of warm 200 gm. PrimaLoft insulation. As the name suggests, the Boundary 200 HV Hiking Boot is a hiking boot and features snowshoe compatible molded heel counters, but this boot is too good to leave at home during snowy commutes and 50-yardline seats at a December playoff game. Inside you'll find an ergonomic, dual-density X-2 footbed treated with an AgION antimicrobial finish to reduce odors--just in case you secretly practice dancing to Jamiroquai songs in your spare time.

It's safe to say that anything inside Miami Beach's icon Fontainebleau hotel will not disappoint. Arkadia is downstairs from the majestic hotel lobby and offers a hideaway designed on a smaller scale than that of its upstairs neighbor LIV. Still, it's smaller size does not stop the crowds from gathering and keeping the dancing going until the sun comes up. Top-notch DJs govern the turntables and drinks are priced much like the rest of Miami. VIP and table service are available and recommended.

Meet Jim Walsh, the Sharks' biggest fan
Have you been to every Sharks home game in the history of the franchise? Well, neither has Jim Walsh = he's missed eleven home games. EVER. I actually sat behind Walsh once in Sec. 201, where he has season tickets. Fascinating man = he journeys to EVERY California vs. California team matchup (unless it conflicts with a Sharks home game). I'm linking this because one of my never-realized FTF-admin projects was to interview this guy; glad someone did my homework for me!

2011 has been the best year of my life so far. Dylan arrived in the world, and I have experienced so much happiness since then. Take a look back at 2011 with me. Here were my favorite posts each month:
January: I put together a very informative post for the people buying pigs from us called How Much Meat From a Pig. I never did get around to posting the followup after we got our meat, but the numbers from this post turned out to be pretty spot on.
February: Joshua and I processed chickens for the first time which I told all about in Processing Roosters, and I also wrote a pretty emotional piece for me, Manners and Children as People.
March: This was the busiest month at The Wallow. We got sheep, chickens, and pigs. I really loved my post Big Bare Beautiful Baby Belly.
April: I started my 8 post series on polyamory. Start with 20 Years of Polyamory: The Introduction.
May: I finally "harvested" compost!
June: My baby Dylan was born. You can read the five part story starting with The Sunday to Forever: Acknowledgments.
July: The posts The 4th Trimester and Things Less Important captured my feelings about those first weeks with Dylan.
August: I still call Dylan Tiny Baby, although he's much less tiny than he was in August.
September: Baby Small-Talk is still an unresolved issue for me. Ugh!
October: I spent a lot of October depressed, and I only made two posts. One was Starting Zoloft (which is going much better these days), and then finally I found some things to be happy about in Breastfeeding, Co-sleeping, Baby-wearing, Cloth Diapering Mama.
November: The post Because It's My Body is probably one of my favorite posts I've ever written.
December: Here at the end of the year, I put a lot of thought into Cosleeping Safety and the Milwaukee Billboards.
What were your favorite posts this year, whether here on LoveLiveGrow, something you wrote yourself, or anything you've seen around the web?

I learned a very important lesson last night. Prior to the start of our first series against the Philadelphia Phillies I penned a blog pondering the whereabouts of Troy Glaus, Nate McLouth and Melky Cabrera 12 games into the season. Glaus and McLouth answered me loud and clear in game 13 in one of most unbelievable comebacks in the history of the Braves franchise.
With two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning, it looked like the Braves had let a game they were "supposed to win" get away from them. Their play was uninspiring through eight and Tommy Hanson had two of the worst breaks I have ever seen in two check-swing doubles. Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick had his best outing of the young season, only allowing 4 hits and walking 2 with 2 strikeouts in 8 innings.
With Ryan Madson on the mound to start the 9th inning, it was Chipper Jones that got it started with a walk. Brian McCann couldn't come through and things were looking bleak. Troy Glaus, who was heavily booed in the bottom of the 4th after hitting into a bases-loaded double play, did what he had to do. He jacked one right out of the Ted to give the new face of the Atlanta Braves franchise another chance for a magical moment.
We all know what Jason Heyward is capable of doing, but he could he save the day two games straight? Could the 20-year-old Rookie literally put the Braves on his back and turn a loss into a win? Yes he sure could! Heyward blasted a solo shot right out of the ball park to take us to extra innings and give Nate a chance to gain some confidence with a blast over the right field wall in the bottom of the 10th.
The resilient Braves with their second improbable win in as many games. My lesson - this team is different. The 2010 Braves are not the Braves that have missed the playoffs since 2006. This team is making a statement they are ready to challenge the Phillies (and the Marlins) for the division crown. Just as I regret calling out players on such a small sample size, I'm not suggesting they are shoe-ins for the playoffs. However, this team has a lot of heart and character. Two things that are a must for a championship team. Just when the Braves came back to win the series after being embarrassed in San Diego and how they came back from a sloppy no-hitter to take the series from the Rockies, they did what they had to do to steal one from the Phillies.
What a great year it is to be a Braves fan. The final season of one of the greatest managers of all-time combined with the first season of the new face of the franchise. Add in clutch hitting, heart and character and it's going to be a lot of fun to follow for the next six months. Last night's "clear the dugout" prank on Nate goes to show the team is enjoying it just as much as the fans. Now it's onto an even stronger task with Roy Halladay taking the mound for the Phillies in a nationally televised game and while Halladay has been nearly unhittable, I'm confident this Braves team can take him down.
To conclude, below are some stats of interest courtesy of the Twitter page of Atlanta Braves beat writer David O'Brien:
- In Ryan Madson's last 10 games against the Braves, he has a 10.08 ERA and .400 batting average allowed.
- The Braves have the third-most RBIs from the first-base position in the national league with 11.
- The Braves are 5-3 despite hitting only .215 over last eight games.
- Two of the Braves' late HRs by Glaus and McLouth, came from players hitting a combined .164 with only 1 extra-base hit in 73 ABs before those HRs
- Jason Heyward is 1-17 (.059) with 2 RBIs in the Braves' five losses
- Heyward is 13-30 (.433) with 14 RBIs in the Braves' eight wins.

text: Ahem. Peterson has been used to running behind a shitty O line. Plus he's had shity play calling (Childress still sucks). Good backs like AP make things happen. In CJ's career year, he had a better than average O line (Mawae) and good coaching. Turns out that without them he's just not that good of a running back.He can't be blamed for a shitty o line. A running back can only be as good as the line. If you watch he is getting hit as soon as he touches the ball.

South Fork blows out Chiles to win state baseball title
By Jason Lieser
South Fork captured its first team championship in any sport with a 13-3 win against Tallahassee-Chiles in the Class 5A state baseball final at Tradition Field.
Nick Zaharion slugged a two-run single to the center field fence to end the game in five innings.
The route over Chiles seems to have atoned for last season's 10-inning loss to Dunedin in the state championship.
"Last year we knocked on the door," South Fork coach Mike Harper said. "This year we kicked the door down."
The Bulldogs won it before an announced crowd of 2,090, which was overwhelmingly decked in South Fork red and white.
Senior Ryan Breen, who caught all 10 innings of that devastating defeat last season, scored first and watched Mike Beck sprint in with the game-ending run. Those two and Zaharion were at the bottom of South Fork's dog pile behind the plate.
The teams combined for eight runs in a bizarre and rainy first inning.
Chiles (28-5) took a 3-0 lead in the top of the first, but the Timberwolves' pitching was in disarray in the bottom of the inning.
Before I get into the details, here is the quote from Chiles coach Greg Jones that might be the funniest one I've heard all year:
"We won 3-0 for a half an inning and they won 13-0 for four and a half."
Anyway, Jones had an unusual pitching strategy for Tuesday's game. Fearing he would end up using his weaker pitchers late in a close game, Jones decided to throw them at the beginning of the game.
That's what he said. I'm not making it up.
Chiles starter Dillon Dorn, who pitched fewer than 10 innings this year, lasted just four batters — his stat line included two walks, a hit by pitch and a balk — before Bobby Parker came on in relief. Parker had been warming up in the right field bullpen before the game even started and throughout the first inning.
Brandon Bednar put South Fork (29-3) on the board with a bases-loaded line drive up the middle that Dorn tipped with his glove. Two batters later, Bulldogs second baseman Nick Guillotte ripped a three-run double to give South Fork a 4-3 lead.
"Nobody in our dugout doubted we would come back after that first inning," Harper said. "Nobody."
Blake Nehls, who had the game-winning hit in Monday's semifinal, brought Guillotte home with a sacrifice fly. Nehls, the team's No. 7 batter, hit 3 for 5 with four RBIs in the Bulldogs' two wins this week.
If there was a state finals MVP award, it would be hard to give to anyone but Nehls.
Bulldogs starter Kyle Hunter, meanwhile, regrouped from Chiles' three-run first inning. Hunter (10-0) allowed just two hits, both singles, after the first and struck out five in five innings.
Hunter's performance came a day after fellow senior Tyson Young shut down Tampa-Plant for a 5-2 win in the semifinals. The Bulldogs had an eight-day layoff leading up to that game.
South Fork tacked on four more runs in the third inning, highlighted by Nehls' run-scoring triple, and another two in the fourth. Brandon Bednar led off the fourth with a single and scored on Robert Bednar's triple to the right field wall.
The Bulldogs finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the area and continued their dominance in the playoffs. South Fork won its six playoff games by a combined score of 56-5.
The last area team to win a state title in baseball was Summit Christian in 2004.

THOMASVILLE, GA (WALB) – There's some good cooking going on at schools in Thomas County.
The School Nutrition Director earned a national award for her nutritious and creative meals.
Only six people across the country received a peer-nominated Foodservice Achievement Management Excellence awards.
Karen Green credits the hard work of her staff for overcoming the challenges at work everyday.
"So many likes and dislikes and palettes, it's just hard to please everyone at one time," she says.
So Green and her nutrition staff are getting creative with their menu planning and presentation. She won a national FAME award thanks in part to her Breakfast in the Classroom program.
"They pick up breakfast components and go to the classroom where they can talk to their peers, their teachers. It just makes a wonderful start to their day," Green explains. "We really thought everyone did it but obviously not."
"She's helping kids eat healthier and they don't even know it," adds 8th grade student Harley Stevens.
A new initiative signed by President Obama will soon require public schools to reduce meal calories and sodium while increasing fresh fruit and whole grains, something Thomas County is already doing.
"A lot of times kids say 'hmm, I don't want to try it'," Green explains. "But if we just serve a pizza with a whole grain crust they don't know it. And they eat it and they like it."
Even the prepackaged meals are full of nutritious items. From fruits and veggies to whole grain chips and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
"The kids love our PB&Js," gushes cafeteria manager Dona Hill.
But sometimes, it takes a while before students get used to a healthier food on their plate.
"We know if we introduce it to children time and time again, they're going to end up enjoying it," Green says.
And the strict portion control helps make sure they don't enjoy too much of it.
"When I have ranch at home, I eat ranch with everything," admits Stevens.
Hill adds, "We have a lot of school obesity and this might be the only meal they get during the day."
And empty plates and national awards lets them know, they're doing a good job.
Karen Green hopes parents extend the nutritious meals their kids receive at school into their homes.
They can do that by attending school nutrition workshops and by copying the menus on the school website HERE.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Albany's biggest loser is losing even more. We're following the progress of Deputy EMA director Jim Vaught after his lap band surgery September 22nd.
Just before surgery, he weighed 457 pounds. Last week, he stepped off the scales 56 pounds lighter at 401 pounds. Vaught says he feels great and is thrilled about his progress so far.
He said, "It's a milestone to get past that 400 barrier and get down to 300's and then of course the next big one is 200, to get down to the 200's or break the 300 barrier, go into the 200's, so I'm taking it one day at a time and I'm following the program."
Even though his wife has taken in his trousers, Vaught is having trouble keeping them on his waist. He says he plans to buy a nice pair of suspenders to help keep his pants up.

The Yavapai County Republican Committee has voted to censure Gov. Jan Brewer and a handful of Arizona legislators over their support of Medicaid expansion.
The Prescott Daily Courier reports that group's "Resolution to Censure," passed Saturday by a narrow 59-50 margin.
Yavapai County Republican Chairman Jim Dutton says the resolution was a way for political organizations to express strong disapproval of elected officials' actions.
Among those named in the resolution were Republican Sen. Steve Pierce and Rep. Heather Carter.
The expansion makes about 300,000 more people eligible for Medicaid in the state. As part of that expansion, hospitals will pay the state's $250 million annual match to get $1.6 billion a year from the federal government.
Pierce said he rarely heard from people opposed to Medicaid expansion.

Churches of Christ (non-Restoration Movement)
|Churches of Christ
|New Testament
The Churches of Christ (non-Restoration Movement) are Christian groups of autonomous congregations using the name "church of Christ" which have no historical association with the Restoration Movement. These groups are characterized by an emphasis on basing doctrine and practice on the Bible alone in order to restore the New Testament church established by Christ.
History in Central Europe[edit]
Hans Godwin Grimm, author of the book Tradition and History of the Early Churches of Christ In Central Europe, was born in 1899[1]:41 and wrote that in March 1955 he met for the first time in his life "a member of the restored churches of Christ of America." Grimm continued, saying, "What he had to tell me was not other than the faith of my ancestors which I had taught and practiced all my life. ... the American Restoration Movement had been totally unknown to us."[1]:42
Worship and devotion[edit]
Key features of the church's worship are the weekly celebration of the Lord's Supper presided over by one or more of the men of the church and believer's baptism.

Natural Gout Treatments
Treatments for gout disease are varied. Gout is a painful arthritic circumstance that is caused by crystallized uric acid in joints. Treatments for gout should be done as soon as possible because it can affect the big toe but can appear in ankles, wrists, elbows and fingers. Treatments for gout can cure individuals, who suffer from gout, who are unable to excrete excess uric acid through kidneys. The safest way of treatments for gout is by using natural treatments. Here are one some of them.
Treatments for gout can be done with bananas, cherries, raw vegetables juice, and lime
Treatments for gout can be done with bananas. They are an integral part in the treatment of gout. Sufferers can eat eight or nine bananas every day until symptoms subside. Treatments for gout can also be done with sweet or sour cherries which are believed to be very effective. At the onset of symptoms, you should consume 25 cherries every day, then decrease the amount to 10 as symptoms subside. Fresh cherries are the best option for these treatments for gout. It is also recommended that people with gout can eat between 1/2 cup to 1 lb. cherries in a day. As treatments for gout, they can either be eaten as is or can be put in a blender and mixed with water to create a juice. Cherries are famous to lower levels of uric acid in the body. The following raw vegetable juice mixture is also beneficial as treatment for gout. You can mix 300 ml of carrot juice with 100 ml of cucumber and beet juice. This assortment should be consumed daily to help with symptoms. Drinking 150 ml of French or string bean juice every day is also effective. For treatments for gout you can consume apples which contain malic, which helps neutralize uric acid and give relief to sufferers of gout. Eating one apple after each meal is recommended. Treatments for gout are also recommended with lime. It is also a solvent of uric acid, and it's full of vitamin C helps which soothes sore joints.
Treatments for gout can be done with consuming unprocessed foods, gouticil, dairy, aromatherapy and hydrotherapy
Treatments for gout can also be done by consuming fresh unprocessed foods. It includes plenty of whole grains, nuts, beans, and cold water fish as part of your daily diet. Treatments for gout can also effective by drinking drink plenty of water, at least 50 percent of your body weight in ounces. Gouticil is also one of treatments for gout. It is an all-natural formula that functions to diminish the body's levels of uric acid. This one of treatments for gout works to stop the soreness associated with gout and acts to get rid of the aching and swelling. Treatments for gout can also be done with diet. Overweight individuals are more possible to get gout. One of treatment for gout is eating more dairy which can help to diminish uric acid levels. People who drink milk or eat yogurt on a regular basis have extensively lower levels of uric acid. Also, people who eat high amounts of either seafood or meat have a higher probability of developing gout. Treatments for gout can also be obtained from aromatherapy. It is a natural remedy that is believed to soothe the aches and pains of gout. This one of treatments for gout can create a massage oil that contains 1 oz. olive oil and 5 juniper oil drops. Massage it intensely into the joints a few times a day to ease gout pains. Other treatments for gout are hydrotherapy. It is a natural treatment alternative that can considerably help with gout aches and pains as well. Cold water and ice treatments are tremendous for gout pain management.

William Way LGBT Community Center will serve as home base for the Team Bayard event, noon-5 p.m. Jan. 20, which will pay tribute to out civil-rights activist Bayard Rustin, an associated of King.
The event will begin at the center, 1315 Spruce St., with registration from noon-12:30 p.m., where volunteers can sign up for various service projects.
The event was cultivated by several community leaders, including GO!Athletes executive director Anna Aagenes and community activist Anthony Fluellen.
According to Aagenes, organizers reached out to Global Citizen 365, the host of the Greater Philadelphia MLK Day of Service, to generate ideas on what the LGBT community could do to contribute to the day.
Aagenes said the service projects will involve everything from writing letters to inmates with Hearts on A Wire to helping GALAEI organize its hygiene-kit donations to a clothing drive for Philly AIDS Thrift to cleaning up the streets in the Gayborhood.
Aagenes said the group hopes to have about 100 people turn out, but more volunteers would always be welcomed.
To tailor the event even more to the LGBT community, the group decided to pay tribute to Rustin, a West Chester native.
"We wanted to honor someone local and bring the idea that this is more than just a day of service. It is for all communities and we are trying to recognize many types of service within the LGBT community," Aagenes said. "Much of our community is involved in many different things and may not do service together because a lot of our work centers around activism. As a community, we go off on our own projects and it would be nice to come together."
A reception will honor Rustin at the center from 4-5 p.m.
Fluellen is organizing volunteers from his Lincoln University fraternity Delta Phi Upsilon, of which Rustin is an honorary member.
"It means more personally because he was instrumental in the civil-rights movement and most people didn't know that," Fluellen said.
Aagenes said she expects the day to foster renewed community investment.
"It is hopefully an event that will help people who are looking for something to do or add to their day of service," she said. "We are hoping it will help people connect with the community."
Fluellen added that all volunteers, regardless of experience or community affiliation, are encouraged to pitch in.
"You don't have to be a part of any organization. If people just have a serving heart and mind, that is all that matters."

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Even with all the recent controversy over financial mismanagement in downtown Albany... some businesses are still working to open downtown.
B-J Fletcher of Ole Times Country Buffet is negotiating to open a new country buffet location there.
While many restaurants are struggling during tough economic times, Fletcher says they are doing well.
She believes a well run breakfast and lunch location in downtown could thrive, and she hopes the community will come together to support downtown Albany.
"There is so many people with small dreams, and if the people who own the buildings down there would work with the people , give them rent at a reasonable price. If I was a building owner down there, I would rather rent to you for $600 a month for three years to give you a chance to build, " Fletcher said.
Fletcher is talking with city officials about the old Belk building on West Broad Avenue as a possible downtown location.
She says she plans to move quickly to open the downtown eatery as soon as she gets a location.

Have your screen session running in multiple places. (warning, things start to look weird if the terminal windows have different dimensions)
This will ring the system bell once if your script exits successfully and twice if it fails. So you can go look at something else and it will alert you when done. Don't forget to use 'xset b [vol [pitch [duration]]]' to get the bell to sound the way you want.

Today when I was reading the Rangers vs. Bruins recap, I noticed a lot of bickering between Banterers about the team's current situation. There was a lot of back and fourth going on between a few people about where this team really is and what needs to improve and so on. Some comments were very optimistic, or in the eyes of some ignorant. Some comments were intended to be the blatant truth, which some people thought were just pessimistic,
I saw a comment though that really got me thinking. The conversation was just about all the ruckus that had been going on in the thread. The comment that hit me was "It's a big disconnect between the younger fans who have had nothing but the Henrik era, and those who had the dark ages, and those who had the cup, then those who lived through whatever the fuck-ass-horror-show in the 70's and 80's were. I think most of the frustration is because we know, especially older fans who have seen lots of hockey, that this group for all its flaws, can and should be better" (Credit to Caerid11)
I agree with that statement 100%. So i thought about it for a while and this is what I came up with.
Side 1: The Longtimers
These guys have seen it all and have seen very little success in as long as they have been a fan of the Rangers. Throughout everything they have experienced, no matter how tough the times get, they will always stick with their team. They are hard nosed and stubborn, but they have learned from the team's mistakes in the past however many years (not that the organization has). When they point out a team's flaw, they know how to win because they have been watching hockey for such a long time and see what it takes from the other teams to get there. They may seem pessimistic at times, but that is for their own protection from being hurt by this team again. They have seen different management teams, all of which have "sucked"(including this one).
Side 2: The Newbies
These guys come off as very optimistic a lot because, they haven't seen the extreme badness that the Longtimers have seen. They usually have only been fans for 15 or less years. They have for the most part only seen the Hank era. They have a reason to be optimistic because it is New York, and they play at Madison Garden, and it really doesn't get much better than that. They have a rich owner who would open his checkbook to sign anyone who could really help the team. Even though they are newer to the Rangers than the Longtimers, they are still very passionate about thier team. They may be a little more hopeful and faithful in the team and the organization than the Longtimers, just because of what the Longtimers have gone through.
Where do I fit in you ask? Well, Im kinda in between. My parents (more so my dad than my mom, although my mom was a big fan back in the day) were big Rangers fans. They both met each other at a Rangers game in the 80's,(so when you think about it, the Rangers are the reason I am alive, which is pretty weird to think about). Both of them fit in to the Longtimers side. I started watching the Rangers with my dad the year after the lockout, and I have been a diehard fan ever since. Time wise, I may be in Side two, but I think living with my mom and dad (both Longtimers) I was raised to be wiser beyond my Rangers fan years.
When you get into the style of the two groups, I think I am more like the Longtimers. I come off as pessimistic some times, but hey, somebody has got to tell the truth. I can tell you right now, this team does not have all the pieces to be a Cup Contender. The team's management is pathetic. Dolan and Sather are the bane of my existence.
I can tell you this though; there is nothing in the entire world I would rather have/ or see then the Rangers lifting the Stanley Cup.
If I missed something, you have something to add to what I said, you disagree with what I said, or whatever it may be, feel free to share your opinions.
After all, the one thing both groups do have in common is the impulsive desire to scream,

The project is centred on a 2,400-seat concert hall and includes an educational wing aimed at reaching out to a broad spectrum of the public. The project submitted by Ateliers Jean Nouvel was chosen by an international design competition in 2007. Sited in a park that already has a cultural focus, in an up-and-coming district on the northeast edge of Paris, and clearly visible from the outer suburbs of the city, the innovative architectural design of the complex will make a strong statement.
The acoustics of the concert hall itself will meet the most demanding international standards. To design these acoustics, Jean Nouvel has joined forces with Harold Marshall and is working in consultation with Yasuhisa Toyota. The design moves away from the classic "shoebox" formation in which audiences sit directly in front of the musicians, in favour of engaging the audience further with the performers as the seating is arranged all the way around the stage.
Designed principally to host major symphony orchestras – with the Orchestre de Paris as the resident orchestra – the Philharmonie de Paris will also promote other forms of musical expression such as jazz and world music. Very much an orchestral centre, promoting musical education and culture, a variety of daytime courses in music will be offered to young people and adults alike.
The building, covering an area of approximately 20,000 square metres, will comprise – in addition to the main concert hall, its foyers and rehearsal rooms – administrative and technical rooms, an educational wing, exhibition spaces, a café, a restaurant, all the necessary logistical and technical facilities, and a car park.
The Philharmonie de Paris has taken a positive approach to the issue of accessibility for disabled people and will offer every visitor a personalised welcome. Aiming to set an example in meeting environmental challenges, the construction meets the quality certification standards set by recognised inspection bodies.
The building is due to open in early 2015.
