The gastric bypass diet is designed for people who are recovering from gastric bypass surgery to help them heal and change their eating habits. Your doctor or a registered dietitian can help you with a gastric bypass diet by guiding meal planning.
A gastric bypass diet specifies what type and how much food you can eat at each meal. Closely following your gastric bypass diet can help you lose weight safely.
The gastric bypass diet has several purposes:
Diet recommendations after gastric bypass surgery or other weight-loss surgery vary depending on the type of surgery, where the surgery is performed and your individual situation.
Most commonly, the gastric bypass diet has four phases to help you ease back into eating solid foods. How quickly you move from one step to the next depends on how fast your body heals and adjusts to the change in eating patterns. You can usually start eating regular foods with a firmer texture about three months after surgery.
After gastric bypass or other weight-loss surgery, you must pay extra attention to signs that you feel hungry or full. You may develop some food intolerances or aversions.
Phase 1: Liquid diet
You won't be allowed to eat for one to two days after gastric bypass surgery so that your stomach can start to heal. After that, while you're still in the hospital, you start a diet of liquids and semisolid foods to see how you tolerate foods after surgery.
Foods you may be able to have on phase 1 of the gastric bypass diet include:
During phase 1, sip fluids slowly and drink only 2 to 3 ounces (59 to 89 milliliters, or mL) at a time. Don't drink carbonated or caffeinated beverages. And don't eat and drink at the same time. Wait about 30 minutes after a meal to drink anything.
Phase 2: Pureed foods
Once you're able to tolerate liquid foods for a few days, you can begin to eat pureed (mashed up) foods. During this two- to four-week-long phase, you can only eat foods that have the consistency of a smooth paste or a thick liquid, without any solid pieces of food in the mixture.
To puree your foods, choose solid foods that will blend well, such as:
Blend the solid food with a liquid, such as:
Keep in mind that your digestive system might still be sensitive to spicy foods or dairy products. If you'd like to eat these foods during this phase, add them into your diet slowly and in small amounts.
Phase 3: Soft, solid foods
With your doctor's OK, after a few weeks of pureed foods, you can add soft, solid foods to your diet. If you can mash your food with a fork, it's soft enough to include in this phase of your diet.
During this phase, your diet can include:
You usually eat soft foods for eight weeks before eating foods of regular consistency with firmer texture, as recommended by your dietitian or doctor.
Phase 4: Solid foods
After about eight weeks on the gastric bypass diet, you can gradually return to eating firmer foods. You may find that you still have difficulty eating spicier foods or foods with crunchy textures. Start slowly with regular foods to see what foods you can tolerate.
Avoid these foods
Even at this stage after surgery, avoid these foods:
These foods are discouraged because they typically aren't well tolerated in the weeks after surgery and might cause gastrointestinal symptoms. Over time, you may be able to try some of these foods again, with the guidance of your doctor.
A return to normal
Three to four months after weight-loss surgery, you may be able to start returning to a normal healthy diet, depending on your situation and any foods you may not be able to tolerate. It's possible that foods that initially irritated your stomach after surgery may become more tolerable as your stomach continues to heal.
Throughout the phases
To ensure that you get enough vitamins and minerals and keep your weight-loss goals on track, at each phase of the gastric bypass diet, you should:
Gastric bypass and other bariatric surgery can result in long-term weight loss. The amount of weight you lose depends on your type of weight-loss surgery and the changes you make in your lifestyle habits. It may be possible to lose half, or even more, of your excess weight within two years.
The gastric bypass diet can help you recover from surgery and return to enjoying many of the healthy foods before surgery. And remember that if you return to unhealthy eating habits after weight-loss surgery, you may not lose all of your excess weight, or you can eventually regain any weight that you do lose.
The greatest risks of the gastric bypass diet come from not following the diet properly. If you eat too much or eat food that you shouldn't, you could have complications. These include:

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Cilliers, Jacques Etienne URN etd-11102005-114413 Document Title Multi-dimensional lattice equaliser for Q2 PSK Degree MEng (Digital Communication) Department Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof L P Linde Committee Chair Keywords
- analog-to-digital converters
- phase-shift keying
- synchronization
- modems engineering
- mobile communication systems
Date 2002-02-12 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe aim of this dissertation was the design, implementation and performance evaluation of a Recursive Least Squares (RLS), lattice based, adaptive, multidimensional, decision feedback equaliser (DFE) for the spectrally efficient four-dimensional digital modulation technique, re¬ferred to as Quadrature-Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying, Q2pSK. Q2PSK constitutes a relatively new modulation technique, and the application of adaptive equalisation to this technique has not yet been considered in the open literature.
This dissertation represents an in depth study into the Q2PSK modulation technique, as well as the optimal implementation, in simulation, of such a modem to aid the inclusion of the adap¬tive lattice DFE, for application to high speed mobile digital communication over the V /UHF channel in the presence of multi path propagation. Specific aspects of synchronization applicable to this modem platform are also addressed. An in depth study was also conducted into the realisation of a V /UHF channel simulation, capable of producing a Ricean and/or Rayleigh fad¬ing multipath propagation environment for the evaluation of the modem platform and adaptive equaliser structure. The theoretical analysis of the effect of multi path on a Q2PSK signal led to the correct design of the adaptive lattice structure, as well as the correct interfacing of the equaliser to the receiver platform.
The performance of the proposed synchronisation strategies, in tandem with the equalisation technique were evaluated for several static, as well as fading multipath channels. The simulation results obtained show the equaliser operates correctly, and can give large performance gains over the static matched filter (matched to the transmitted waveform) implementation of the modem platform. Several simulations were specifically designed to highlight the performance limitations of the adaptive equalisation technique.

SALT LAKE CITY - With winter inversion season in full swing, Salt Lake City is once again offering residents tools and resources to help them stay informed about air quality conditions and their options to "Drive Less, Drive Smarter" when the haze of air pollution descends on the valley.
Through the Care to Clear the Air campaign, residents can register to receive air quality text alerts by texting 'cleartheair' to 69302 or visiting the campaign website at CareToClearTheAir.org. The alerts are offered to inform residents about upcoming poor air quality days and to encourage them to plan ahead to drive less. Although temperatures are dropping, residents can still choose winter-friendly travel options like riding UTA, van/carpooling and teleworking at home or the office.
"There is no better time for all of us to be considering alternatives to driving than in the midst of a winter inversion," said Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker. "Each of our individual efforts can, and does, make a positive impact on our air quality."
Additional resources include an informational "Learn to Drive Less" video series featuring helpful videos such as "How to load your bike on the bus" and "How to ride FrontRunner" on the Care to Clear the Air YouTube page at http://youtube.com/cleartheairutah. Other videos include "Resolutions to Clear the Air," which profile individuals in Salt Lake City and beyond who are making a resolution to take public transit, carpool, telework and bike when the air quality is at its worst.
More information on winter-friendly alternative transportation is available at CareToClearTheAir.org.

Put on your mask and start begging for beads -- it's time for Mardi Gras. Take a look at how New Orleans and hundreds of people celebrate this festive occasion every year.
Partygoers and parade bystanders get excited as a float -- paying homage to the fairytale Alice's Adventures in Wonderland -- rolls down Canal Street for the Rex parade. New Orleans lights up with excitement every year for Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Mardi Gras started in Louisiana in the late 17th century when the area was under French colonial rule.
Rex, the King of Carnival, parades down St. Charles Avenue during the Mardi Gras parade.
The Rex parade, pictured here, is one of New Orleans' most celebrated Mardi Gras parades. It's led by an organization (The School of Design), which chooses one member every year to wear the honorary title "Rex." The distinction is one of the highest honors a person can receive in New Orleans.
Members of the Rex organization toss beads from a float to revelers.
Catch the beads! A large crowd reaches up for beads as a Zulu parade float -- one of the more controversial parade participants, because of their exaggerated blackface -- rolls down New Orleans' Canal Street on Mardi Gras.
Two revelers pass by a home before a Mardi Gras parade. Those decorations you see -- beads, ribbons, masks and streamers -- come in traditional Mardi Gras colors: green (symbolizing faith), gold (power) and purple (justice).
Crowds flock to Bourbon Street in the French Quarter during Mardi Gras Day. The annual Mardi Gras celebration ends at midnight, when the Catholic Lenten season begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday.

Carnival Valor....good not great
For the price paid for the balcony room on the Lido deck, you couldn't beat it. We have been on 12 other cruises of which 8 were balconies,and this was the cheapest we have ever paid for a balcony.....so to Carnival, a big thank you.
I could go on a day by day breakdown but will refrain. Instead, some of the great, the good, the bad, & the ugly.
On the great side, our MDR waiter Gerald from the Washington dining room, THE BEST !!!!!!! Never did the gentleman miss the chance to call us by full name and remember EXACTLY what we liked or not after the first night. Incredible !!!!! He was by far the best in all our travels on the sea.
On the good, the customer service desk very attentive and helpful. Never did we feel like just another traveler. They did a very good job for the amount of "trying" guests that they deal with.
On the bad, no real surprise here THE BARS. The only way to assure yourself a "decent"/ "fair amount of alcohol for their More extremely "over the top prices" is to buy a bottled beer. No way they can short change you there. Otherwise.....WEAK !!!!!!!
On the ugly, along the lines of the above regarding the bar, never in my travels have I felt the need to complain about an individual, until my integrity is challenged. We asked for a specific martini to be made back in the martini bar per there drink menu. As I watched him make it, I noticed not once but twice he missed ingredients in my drink. I knew it when he handed to me but wanted to see what he was going to do when I complained....as expected not only did he deny it, he proceeded to tell me I was "crazy". If that wasn't bad enough, within 5 seconds the couple next to me which I never met said the exact same thing about their order. This bartender then proceeded to tell them they were "dead wrong" and that he didn't make any mistake. That was the straw that broke the camels back. I proceeded to the guest service desk to track down the beverage captain ( see above on guest service desk) who in 2 minutes addressed my concerns not only by removing the cost of our drinks and was extremely apologetic, but also remove the bartender with a brand new associate. Within an hour that bar was jammed with people who seemed VERY satisfied with the service and their drinks. That first bartender had no business being in that position. Kudos to the beverage captain for "listening" and then reacting.
The other issue I will briefly touch on is the embarkation process........WHAT A COMPLETE and utter "cluster mess". There is no excuse for some of the things I saw.... to many to mention. they have some work to do in San Juan on this issue. Never again will we go to San Juan to board ANY ship. On the debarkation process, I suggest carrying your own luggage off if you want to avoid the sea of luggage in the terminal....ugh, thank goodness we did.
I could find 5 other things both good and open for opportunities, but overall things were fine. I would go Carnival again if the price was right but not at a premium. Less

Dominic Gundrum's smile is truly special. Or, more accurately, there's something really special about his smiles. They light up a room, even though they're the result of a rare and extremely difficult to correct birth defect. Still, despite how atypical they seem at first, Dominic's giggling smiles are surprisingly disarming.
To have something look so different - but still spread such joy - is truly unique. And, in a way, that uniqueness defines Dominic perfectly.
An uncertain beginning
During a routine 20-week ultrasound in their home state of Wisconsin, Dominic's parents, Mark and Mary, were excited to find out if they were having a boy or girl. But when doctors looked at Mary's grainy ultrasound they discovered more than Dominic's sex. Though it was hard to tell for sure, the ultrasound image showed that Dominic's skull hadn't fused together properly early in the pregnancy, leaving a large, triangle-shaped gap running from his upper lip through the middle of his nose and forehead - a condition known in the medical world as a Tessier midline facial cleft.
But the cleft wasn't the only issue Dominic was facing: some fluid and tissue from his brain, normally encased in the skull, had seeped outwards through the cleft, forming a golf ball-sized bubble underneath the skin of his forehead. (A condition called an encephalocele.) †
The combination of Tessier cleft and an encephalocele is very rare, especially in the United States. As few as one child every two to five years may be born with both conditions, and most craniofacial surgeons will go their entire careers without ever seeing it outside of medical textbooks. As a result, the Gundrums' medical team wasn't sure what the future held for Dominic.
At first we were told he would probably die within a few hours and that we should do our best to enjoy the pregnancy,, remembers Mark. Over time his prognosis got better, and the doctors agreed he'd survive birth. But after that, they had no idea what may happen to him. It was a real no man's land territory for all of us.,
John Meara, MD, DMD, MBA
Given the unknowns of the situation, the Gundrums took to the Internet for answers. Their search led them to a story about a boy named Dumanel - born in Haiti with a severe encephalocele - who was successfully treated by John Meara, MD, DMD, MBA, plastic surgeon-in-chief, and Ed Smith, MD, a neurosurgeon at Boston Children's Hospital. The story gave Mark and Mary hope that like Dumanel, Dominic could one day live a happy and healthy life. They emailed Meara a picture of Dominic's ultrasound asking for advice, and a day later received a phone call.
I'll never forget when Dr. Meara called and said he had seen this before and that everything was going to be OK,, says Mary. We'd heard so many things over the course of the pregnancy, but 'OK' was a word that was rarely used. It was such an overwhelming feeling of joy, I called Mark immediately and said, 'I think we've got to go to Boston.',
A few months later Dominic was born without complication and in good health, aside from the Tessier midline cleft and encephalocele. The Gundrums were beyond relieved when it became apparent that Dominic was going to live to see surgery, but it also meant the real work was about to start in Boston, where Meara and his colleagues were already getting ready for Dominic's arrival.
All hands on deck
Treating Dominic's encephalocele would require a number of specialists with a wide range of expertise. First, Mark Proctor, MD, director of Boston Children's Brain Injury Center, would need to carefully remove the brain tissue and fluid that had pooled inside Dominic's encephalocele. Once Proctor had finished, Meara would perform extensive reconstruction of Dominic's face, repairing the cleft and aligning the previously disconnected sections of skull while making sure his features were symmetrical. Altogether the surgery would involve over 15 people and last for several hours.
To correct a condition as complex as Dominic's takes a lot of work, from many very talented people,, says Meara. An operation like this can be dangerous and lengthy; if you don't have the right team it could take up to 12 to 18 hours. But I knew with the right preparation we could work more efficiently, posing less risk to the patient.,
Meara, Proctor and Susan Goobie, MD, from Boston Children's Anesthesiology department, spent weeks discussing Dominic's case and exploring every possible complication that could arise. After much planning and revision, the team was confident they were ready.
A well-oiled machine
At 7:30 a.m. on the day of the surgery, Mary and Mark handed Dominic over to Goobie, and prepared themselves for several long hours of waiting. They were nervous, excited and even a little sad.
We've fallen so in love with Dominic over the past few months that the idea of changing him in such a dramatic way is a little bit difficult,, Mary said on the eve of the operation. In the long run it's what's best for him, but so much will change in one day. It's exciting, but there is a small bit of sorrow knowing that tomorrow this baby I've grown to love so much will look so different.,
Once Dominic had been placed under anesthesia, Proctor and Meara began their work. In a few hours they had successfully removed parts of Dominic's skull and the encephalocele, and then repositioned a good portion of his frontal lobe, which had been displaced. Then over the next several hours they carefully reconstructed the bones in Dominic's jaw and eye sockets, as well as replacing the fragments of skull that had been removed to allow Proctor enough room to resect the encephalocele.
It was very precise work, but thanks to months of planning the surgery went more smoothly than anyone had anticipated. By 4 p.m., Dominic was recovering in Boston Children's Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
I was pleasantly surprised with how well things went and how efficiently our team worked,, says Meara. Everything went according to plan thanks to the amazing efforts of the whole team. †From Dr. Proctor to Dr. Goobie, the nursing staff, our residents and fellows, everyone's role was perfectly executed. It was like working with the dream team of craniofacial surgery'Äïthis is why I work at Boston Children's; there is no other team like this.,
Facing the future
Dominic spent the next three weeks in Boston Children's ICU, where he was expertly cared for by an entire team of attendants. As he continues to heal, Meara and other specialists - both at Boston Children's and in the Gundrum's home state - will be monitoring him to make sure his development continues on a normal trajectory. As he grows he may need to see an ophthalmologist to help his vision, as well as a craniofacial specialist, in case any of his features affected by the surgery change as he grows.
Even though Dominic's medical journey is far from over, Mark and Mary are very grateful their son will have the chance to travel the long road to recovery.
The day Dominic was born, a group of friends had a tree planted in our yard in his honor,, says Mark. I remember thinking, 10 years from now, I'm either going to look at that tree and think of the son I lost, or watch him climb its branches. Right now, thanks to so many wonderful people at Boston Children's and beyond, I'm excited to watch him hanging from that tree as they both grow bigger and stronger.,
Please click here to make an appointment with the specialists in Boston Children's Craniofacial Anomalies Program. Visit their website for more information.

Has anybody else gotten this email from Verizon? It did not include a username. I went to the verizon.com/rewards site, but the links for help with username help did not work. Of course, the email was a no reply email, so I can't report it. None of the catagories on the support web page fit my question. Does anybody know of a general email address for Verizon support? Calling them will lead to manu menus and frustrating conversations with the tech help.
Dear XXXXXXXXX,
Your Verizon Reward Card is being processed. You will receive your reward via UPS within 30 days at your service address.*
Please check the status of your shipment at verizon com/rewards. Use the following credentials to log on to the site for your shipping status. Once shipped, the tracking number for your reward delivery will be provided on this site.
Thank you for subscribing to a Verizon FiOS Bundle.

You should have received a post card in the mail within a week or 2 with the username and password to login to the rewards site on it when you signed up for service. I take it that didnt happen. Do you have the password? If so try using your last name as the username. That should do it for you.
It took about 2 and a half weeks for me to get the card after I got the same email about processing.

When I received the email in question the user name was the order number and the password was my last name, in all caps.
I received an email the day after I ordered my new bundle confirming what I had ordered, and it contained the order number, so if the OP still has that he should be able to find the order number there.

Ah yes my mistake. I had it backwards. lol Sorry!
Thatx correct. order number is username, password is last name.
I have had the WORST time trying to get information from Verizon or the company that handles their rewards about this card. I greatly appreciate the reward but I received the e-mail about checking the status (i believe) on December 29th and the status still says pending. Ive tried live chatting with an agent about it and they could only tell me that they dont have any further information to give me about it. They also said that my card would be send on or around the 25th of this month, and now when i check (one day later) it changed to say that it will be sent on or around the 27th. I dont understand why it's so difficult to find out the whereabouts of $100. Would REALLLYYY appreciate some help on this subject.
If it says it will be shipped on the 27th then it will. They usually ship UPS and it will take 1-2 weeks to get it. I received a tracking number by email when mine was shipped. Verizon never knows because their refund cards are processed by a 3rd party company. It should be easy to pull up information regardless, but thats Verizon for you.
I called in today because I could not locate my pin number and reached a wonderful Representative from the main "contact us" number 1-855-685-7341. He spent a half hour on the phone with me tracking down Verizon's promotional department to get my pin for me. We finally located a working number folks! Its not the one enclosed with the gift card either. Call 866-818-0295 and be prepared with your account number and the Representative will tell you what your original pin number was right on the phone!
Just wanted to share for those needing assistance.

More Credits (30)
With all the twists and turns that have marked The Following's first season, we wouldn't be surprised if creator Kevin Williamson doesn't sneak in another twist in the show's final two episodes. Like... a mole in the FBI perhaps? We know Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) was able to infiltrate local law enforcement with Roderick (Warren Kole) and also put Molly (Jennifer Ferrin) in place to keep an eye on Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon). But who else is in on it? We break down the most likely suspects:
The FBI is within striking distance of Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) on The Following, but the greatest threat to Carroll's plan may be his own right-hand man, Roderick (Warren Kole). Though Roderick has FBI agents Debra Parker (Annie Parisse) and Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) convinced he's nothing more than a local sheriff heading into Monday's episode (9/8c, Fox), he won't be able to maintain the ruse for long.
Usually, Richard Castle's overactive imagination is a good thing — so good that as he helps his NYPD buddies solve scores of murders, you often wonder how they'd ever get along without him. In the set-up for Castle's clever lark of a 100th episode on ABC (Monday, 10:01/9:01c), they're forced to go solo as Castle (Nathan Fillion in rare form) stews in boredom in his apartment, nursing a busted leg. Until he picks up his new birthday binoculars and goes all Jimmy Stewart-in-Rear Window, convinced he's witnessed a murder across the street, eventually drawing his beloved Beckett and intrepid daughter Alexis into the Hitchcockian-homage intrigue. The more agitated Castle gets, the more skeptical everyone else becomes, and as the twists and comically suspenseful close calls pile up, leading to yet another chewing-out by that spoilsport Capt. Gates, we're treated to an entertaining object lesson in the "seeing isn't believing" playbook. Well done, including the timely subplot involving the murder of an IRS agent which, even when chair-bound, Castle can't help inadvertently helping his friends figure out.
It seems like all the pieces are falling into place for Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) on Fox's The Following. The FBI's technology has been compromised, Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) is nearing his breaking point, and Joe's ex-wife Claire Matthews (Natalie Zea) is en route to the mansion where Joe and his followers are hiding out. Heck, Joe's even starting to bond with his son Joey (Kyle Catlett) — over s'mores, no less!
But hold on a minute. According to Purefoy, this part of the story might be only the beginning of Joe's endgame — and his "super objective" remains to be seen.
Hey honey, he's home!
Now that The Following's chief lunatic, Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), is out of prison and surrounded by a safety net of loyal followers, it's becoming clear that he has one primary goal: to reunite with his wife, Claire (Natalie Zea). Claire is currently under police protection, but that's a mere hiccup for Carroll's minions.
"Try to exhume that series because James Garner is one of the best TV detectives in the history of TV."

The hiring/interview process was a drawn out one for me. First, you will take an assessment which basically asks - " are you comfortable completely relying on selling insurance to your friends and family for financial support". If you answer no, you won't be chosen because that's what the job is even though they won't openly admit it (otherwise you are cold calling for your paycheck). I had an interview, came in to speak with the local manager (which took over 2 1/2 hours - consisting of giving me an entire book with of recruiting material and an obvious recruitment spiel), had to go to another recruiting event in which I heard the same spiel again but only an hour. After that I was being considered for an internship, but then I had to take a personality assessment. That's when I decided to stop pursuing a career there.

Ayo Fayose Calls Olusegun Obasanjo Father of Bastards in Public
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo and self-styled "father of modern Nigeria" received a rude shock today in Okuku, Osun state when the former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose confronted him and called him "father of bastards". It would be the second time since leaving office under controversial circumstances in 2007 that the former head of state would be publicly ridiculed.
Last month, an irate Nigerian rained blows on him after he managed to sneak into his car in traffic shortly after Obasanjo arrived from a foreign trip.
Fayose met Obasanjo at the inner recesses of deposed governor of the state, Olagunsoye Oyinlola's mansion in Okuku after a "thanksgiving service" in done in his honor by friends and family.
The former president was sitting with former military dictator, Ibrahim Babanginda, Governor of Oyo state, Alao Akala and Gbenga Daniel of Ogun state when Fayose breezed into the reception area. Fayose walked in and greeted everyone but skipped Obasanjo, according to eyewitness accounts but when Fayose was about to sit down Obasanjo called out his name and asked why he ignored him, asking if it was an error on his part, but an enraged Fayose turned to Obasanjo and said he cannot greet someone who is very bad!
"You created all these troubles in the sSouthwest and also for your information, I did not come here as a member of your party, I am no longer a PDP member," Fayose shouted.
Speaking further and inching towards Obasanjo, Fayose told him that he didn't deserve his greeting and warned Obasanjo never to talk to him again.
Obasanjo flew in rage and called Fayose a "naughty person", this further infuriated Fayose, who moved menacingly towards Obasanjo, waved his finger in his face and called him the "father of bastards".
As soon the situation became chaotic, Fayose stormed of the reception area and was heard cursing Obasanjo and he walked away in anger.
The celebrant, Oyinlola, ran after him and wept complaining that Fayose came to disrupt his joyous occasion.

Robert Gagne
|About Me The Past The Present The Future Resources
I am an education psychologist best known for my "Conditions of Learning" which identified the mental conditions of learning and was published in 1965. I was born in North Andover, Maine in 1916 and died in 2002. I earned my Ph.D. in psychology from Brown University in 1940. I went on to work as a professor for Connecticut College, Penn State University and Florida State University. I also served as Director of the U.S. Air Force Perceptual and Motor Skill Laboratory were I began developing my principles of my learning theory.
I am considered to be a major contributor to the systematic approach of instructional design. My learning theory is summarized as The Gagne Assumption and consists of five types of learning (each requires a different type of instruction) and nine events of instruction. I've also identified a hierarchy of eight conditions to learning.
Five Types of Learning - learning is similar to processing it is sequential and builds on prior knowledge.
Nine Events of Instruction - these events apply to each of the 5 types of learning but not necessarily in the same order for each type.
Eight Conditions of Learning - the hierarchal structure is listed lowest to highest, you must master each step before reaching the next.

Drug and Violence Prevention Programs Lack Evidence
May 08, 2003
Maia Szalavitz
But anti-science attitudes prevail on the left and right
The conservative press has been out-front in highlighting certain aspects of drug and violence prevention programs and their complete lack of reliable empirical evidence to prove their effectiveness.
Policy Review piece offers a nice overview of their critique, detailing an incident all too typical of the way most preventionists see science that originally occurred in 2001.
Here's what happened: At a conference held by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, conservative critic Christina Hoff Sommers was told to "shut the f--- up, b----" and literally shouted down for daring to suggest that there were problems with gender-based prevention programs and that empirical evidence should be the guide for funding such prevention.
Only National Review and Fox News thought the incident worthy of coverage: however, I suspect that even the most liberal of liberals would agree that if a traditional feminist been engaged in such a manner in a government-sponsored conference (it was so bad that the agency actually issued a written apology later), much more attention would have been generated.
But drug prevention has become a sacred cow and critics on all sides have been subjected to weirdness that is virtually never seen in other areas of research. The most popular American drug prevention program, DARE, which is found in 80 percent of American schools, has been the subject of dozens of research papers since its inception in 1983. All of those published in peer-reviewed journals found that it did not reduce drug use; some, which looked at suburban schools, found a minor increase in use amongst students exposed to DARE compared to others.
The media is partially to blame for this sorry state of affairs: as I wrote in New Scientist shortly after the Sommers incident, most coverage of DARE views the research as either a conflicting mess (which anyone with a science background can tell that it's not, when the peer-reviewed data has been consistent) or just another partisan voice to be balanced against parents who say "DARE worked for my kid," police officers who like talking to kids when they teach the program and DARE executives who claim critics are "kicking Santa Claus."
In the early 1990s, when the program was at the height of its popularity, researchers whose findings were negative and reporters who wrote critically about the organization often received threatening phone calls and letters that compared them to drug pushers. The debate was anything but rational.
Liberals and drug war critics eventually picked up on this, with liberals finding alternate programs run by teachers or counselors that didn't have the toughness of the police coming in to set the kids straight on drugs.
There even seemed to be some research data to support these alternatives; but when looked at carefully, the antidrug effects were either extremely small, or possibly the result of bias in choosing which groups and variables to look at. The research on the popular Life Skills program, which has often been pushed as an alternative to DARE, has been critiqued for this sort of "data dredging."
The author of the Policy Review article found at a Society for Prevention Research Conference this summer that while critiques of DARE are now OK, the anti-science bias in the field still runs deep, and criticism of what the Department of Education sees as "exemplary" programs (which include Life Skills) is still not acceptable. He details his critique of three of these programs, Project ALERT, the Second Step curriculum and Adolescent Training and Learning to Avoid Steroids (ATLAS) in the article, while describing how he was attacked.
But while his critique points out in great detail how the left has used the trappings of science to promote these largely useless programs, he misses how biases from the political right have kept them firmly in place.
For example, a 1994 law mandates that all youth drug prevention programs have a strict "no use" message. What this means is that they must, against the scientific evidence, tell kids that all drugs from alcohol and cigarettes to marijuana and morphine are equally harmful. These programs are also prohibited from providing information aimed at helping those who take drugs despite the warnings so as to reduce the risks related to that use.
This non-scientific attitude toward the facts is linked to the unyielding moral aspect of the conservatives' war on drugs: it's all or nothing. Such a stance probably dooms most current programs. Kids aren't stupid, they know that health programs are aimed at getting them to not do things that they might want to do; and when the are offered information that is contradicted by their own experience, they quickly tune out.
Furthermore, by focusing on whether kids ever try drugs, and not on whether they avoid drug abuse, addiction, overdose, car accidents, etc, these programs have chosen a variable that may be near impossible to affect. Kids don't have great judgment; by definition they are immature; and trying to prevent them from ever making a single mistake with regard to psychoactive substances is a very high bar to set. It is not surprising that programs which aim at this lofty ideal don't work. The blame for that, however, cannot be placed on the left.
Pseudo-science and data-dredging are inevitable when the programs to be evaluated are barred from telling the truth about the activity they are trying to prevent and when their goals are unrealistic. There's enough blame to go around on both sides of the aisle for the pathetic state of drug prevention research.

Gronkowski will try to practice for Pats
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (87) reacts after his touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts during the first quarter at Gillette Stadium on Nov. 18. (David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports)
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will attempt to practice this week, less than a month after he sustained a broken forearm and underwent surgery, The Boston Globe reported.
He has missed three games since he was injured in a Nov. 18 victory over Indianapolis. The Patriots have all three during his absence in convincing fashion.
The Patriots play San Francisco on Sunday and then finish the regular season with games against Jacksonville and Miami. While Gronkowski is hoping to return soon, reports indicate that it's possible he won't be back until the playoffs.
Gronkowski, a third-year pro, has played in 10 games this season and has 53 receptions for 748 yards and 10 touchdowns.

LEXINGTON, N.C. -- This week, Davidson County deputies completed a three-month undercover drug operation, called "Hand 2 Hand with the Man." It resulted in a total of 243 charges being filed against 54 people for the illegal sale of prescription pain pills.
"It is our number one problem in Davidson County now," said Sheriff David Grice. "This is a nationwide problem, which has been going on for a number of years, not just here, obviously throughout the country, we're no better or worse off."
Grice said most of the charges involved Opium derivatives like Oxycodone and Oxymorphone. He also said the development of more powerful pain pills and their widespread use makes them easy to get, and many get legitimate prescriptions and resell the pills for up $80 each.
"We see a lot of people doing doctor shopping," he said. "They'll go to this doctor and the doctor will prescribe the medication, then they'll go to another doctor in another town."
Grice says that some of the suspects knew each other, but it wasn't an organized drug ring. He also said some where making a living sell the drugs, but said it's not directly related to the economy.
At last word, 41 of the suspects had been arrested and charged. Some had first appearances Friday in Davidson Superior Court. Grice said it's the county's largest every prescription drug sweep.
Authorities and drug counselors said this is a problem that extends down to the high school level, and the family medicine cabinet is often where those drugs are being found.
"Parents, your grandparents, you need to keep up with your medication and also, you need to be very conscious of the medication, if it's prescribed to you," said Grice.
One drug counselor told News 14 Carolina that overdoses are a weekly occurrence in the Triad. Grice said prescription drug abuse is an ongoing problem. "We're going to continue what we've been doing, doing undercovers, and whenever we interact with these people and they don't have a prescription, they're going to get charged," he said.

The legendary gore director Lloyd Kaufman on Troma Studios' latest psychotronic flick, which opens in Los Angeles on June 12:
"Poultrygeist concerns a fast-food chicken establishment built on an ancient Indian graveyard. And since the Indians were also exterminated, and billions and billions of chickens were exterminated, the Indian spirits and the chicken spirits merge underground and come up into the fast-food establishment … and Poultrygeist ensues."
The man is quite clearly a genius. Is all I can say. But here's Lloyd himself with more:

I've been going to Troma movies for years. The most famous one was Toxic Avenger which had to do with the poisonous environment. I saw Poultryguist at a preview showing. Even though it is antifast food and against animal cruelty be aware it is the sickest movie I have seen and it's hilarious. NOT FOR CHILDREN !!!

Cracking Down on Voter Fraud
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA(CBS2/FOX28)- A Cedar Rapids man is accused of voting three times in the November 2012 election.
According to Linn County court documents, Clarence Ellis is accused of requesting and voting absentee for himself, his son and also his daugher or granddaughter, but the prosecuting process is lengthy.
When Margie Kufman heard about this incident she said it makes her wonder how often someone gets away with it.
"I think it is concerning," she said.
Kufman is worried her grandchildren may not be able to take part in a fair election.
"We need accountability and need people who will be honest," she said.
The Linn County Auditor's Office said they are looking into the incident to prevent further cases from happening.
"It makes you ask questions, if this was the only person who did it or are there more," Linn County Auditor Joel Miller said.
But even though two years later, a Cedar Rapids man is accused of voting three times, auditors are hoping others will learn from this.
"Our whole system is based on trust and now someone has shown us that we can't trust 100% of the people and that is unfortunate for Iowa," Miller said.
He said he found out about the incident after the man's daughter or granddaughter voted absentee in Bremer County.
Miller said they would never know about this incident if she had not voted in Bremer.
But Miller said getting an absentee ballot is a privilege and signing for someone who is out of town is unacceptable.
"Yes, it's convenient. It has some potential flaws and if people want to take advantage of those flaws then your gonna undermine the whole system," Miller said.
Margie hopes leaders and the community will continue to hold each other accountable.
"We are losing trust, I am losing trust in the system," she said.
And her hope that people will do the right thing.
Miller said if anyone has any questions about absentee ballots that they can call the auditor's office or better yet, vote at any polling location throughout the county.
Meanwhile, many auditor's offices are sending out voting registration cards to clear up voter's addresses. The cards can not be forwarded.
Ellis was a summons to appear in court. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison.
