In 1981, Roger Fidler wrote a visionary essay on the emergence of mobile reading devices like the Apple iPad and Amazon Kindle. CJR's Curtis Brainard talked to Fidler, who now runs the Reynolds Journalism Institute's Digital Publishing Alliance, about his early predictions and the journalism industry's long and fitful involvement in the development of tablets and e-readers.
Curtis Brainard: What inspired your 1981 essay?
Roger Fidler: At the time, I was the director of design for what became the first online service in the U.S., Viewtron. It was essentially an experiment by Knight-Ridder to see what kind of interest there would be in online access to news and information. It was a very sophisticated system for its time. Back in the late seventies and early eighties lots of people were already talking about digital technology replacing print.
About that time, I also had an opportunity to see the first prototypes of an active matrix liquid crystal display. They've been used since the 1990s for all the portable computers. The prototype was developed at Westinghouse Labs. One of the inventors came to Knight Ridder early in 1981 hoping to get funding for a company he was starting called Panel Vision to make a handheld device using this technology. The company didn't succeed. There weren't any fabrication plants then that could efficiently manufacture the LCD displays for the handheld device. But it seemed obvious to me that if that technology was already being developed, at some point there would be a magazine-size version of it.
As it turned out, The Associated Press Managing Editors association invited editors and designers to weigh in for a special report it was doing on what newspapers might be like in the year 2000. I was one of the designers invited to write an essay on what newspapers might look like. I'd been thinking about it for quite a while, so I created a mockup of what I thought an electronic newspaper might look like and a reading device that I called a portable flat panel. I reasoned that it would have to be magazine-size, lightweight and thin. The pages had headlines with summaries and photos that were laid out in a way similar to a printed newspaper. When you touched the summaries, the full text of the stories with adjacent advertising would appear on the screen.
I expected that by the year 2000, online would be dominant and all newspapers would have online editions, which turned out to be true. But I also expected that by 2000, people would be able to read newspapers on the portable reading devices that I called flat panels.
CB: Throughout the 1980s you worked on a number of digital media projects, from Videotex to PressLink, and eventually founded the Knight Ridder Information Design Lab in 1992, which worked on e-readers. How did that come about?
RF: In 1991, I was accepted into the Freedom Forum Media Studies Center's fellowship program at Columbia University, so I took a year off to do research on the direction new media was headed and on my book, Mediamorphosis: Understanding New Media. During my year at Columbia, I used a database program that was available on Macintosh computers to produce the first working demonstration of my vision of the tablet newspaper.
At the end of my fellowship year, I went back to Knight-Ridder and proposed that they create a skunk works—a lab where we could investigate emerging technologies for newspapers and continue to pursue my vision of the tablet newspaper. I convinced Knight Ridder to fund establishment of the Information Design Lab in Boulder, Colorado, which I ran from 1992 to 1995 as the corporate director of new media. I reported directly to Jim Batten, who was chairman of Knight-Ridder at the time.
My main focus was on how newspapers could make the transition from ink-on-paper to digital. We were never interested in developing our own hardware. What we were trying to do was get other companies to build them. Apple quietly opened up a lab adjacent to our lab in Boulder. We worked with them on developing content for the Newton, which was Apple's first attempt to market a handheld display device.

Frusion by Interbrands is a new soda on the market that is geared towards adults only. Even though this drink may not have any alcohol, the company is looking to fill a gap in the market for an older crowd that often dismisses soda drinks as childish and unhealthy. The company recognizes that there are certain instances where adults don't want to have an alcoholic beverage, but they also don't want to stand out while holding a can of pop. Many of these people merely cave under peer pressure.
Via the Interbrands website, the designer behind the Frusion sodas explains why he created Frusion: "[We] saw an unmet need for a sophisticated soft drink with a distinctly adult image. We were briefed to develop a brand that would allow consumers to fit into a crowd drinking alcohol and feel confident and empowered." The geometric and puzzle patterns on the bottle give it a sophisticated aesthetic that fits well with an older market.

Christine Chism
2nd Grade
I am so happy to be teaching at American Christian Academy. I truly believe in our mission statement and am honored to serve with you. My prayer is that your child can be successful in all they do in their school career as well as their life. God has richly blessed me. The best decision I have ever made in my life was choosing to become a child of His at the age of 15. I praise my Savior for guidance throughout my life and continue to grow in His love each day.
My family is so important to me. I married my best friend and high school sweetie, Wade Chism in 1996. He is such a loving husband and father. Several years later in 2001, our beautiful daughter, Meredith Camille, was born. She is a student at ACA and I am thankful for the education and spiritual leadership she has gained and will gain in the future. I am very close to my parents who raised me in a wonderful home and pray that my life is a reflection of the gifts they instilled in me. I am grateful to also be able to work alongside my father on some of his many international mission trips reaching the world for the Kingdom.
I am a member at Five Points Baptist Church. I LOVE my church family. I am so lucky to be a part of people working to show the love of Christ to others. I have many dear friends that I not only attend church with, but spend time with building wonderful friendships.
I graduated from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor's of Science in Special Education in 1997. After 10 years of working with the Tuscaloosa County School System, I took a few years off to rest and refocus. Wade and I were so happy with Meredith's experience at ACA that I knew I would love to work here. I am excited to be teaching 2nd grade as I start my 5th year at ACA. I love being a part of the ACA family and am thankful for the many friends I have made. God is Good!

Rust Paloma Napkins, Set of 4
if buying just for show, this is a great buy
i love the pattern on this napkin, and i get many compliments on them when i have guests. they do a good job of what they were meant to... serving as a napkin for meals. my only complaint with these napkins is that after just one wash, they get very mis-shapen, and that was frustrating the next time i went to use them. they did not fold very well. it's difficult to get a neat fold like what is seen in the product photo {which is how i like to fold my napkins for guests at meals} when they've become mis-shapen from washing. the corners don't line up, which makes it difficult to get a straight fold and neat appearance. other than that, i recommend these... especially if going for an eclectic aesthetic.

Thread: Astoria Clio or Astoria Kalindi?
July 19th, 2013 01:24 AM #1
Astoria Clio or Astoria Kalindi?
Which one is the best (or most tolerable, if you don't like either)?
Astoria Clio
Astoria Kalindi
Where I stand on each-
Clio: I kind of like this option as it would "connect" with my other favorite girl name, whose MN also has a Grecian vibe to it.
Kalindi: On the other hand, I find this name stunning, and it would be her own thing since it wouldn't "go" with her sister's name.moving to new account with username I like more... since we can't just change them

They are both lovely names but I agree with southern.maple in that I wouldn't go for two unfamiliar names. So my vote goes for Clio.

Under Armour Men's C1N MC Football Cleat
Look cool, feel bad
I'm the captain of my highschool football team and I wanted some really nice cleats for the 2014 season. I am a running back and middle linebacker. These cleats definetly look cool but they hurt my ankles when cutting and juking, even with the high ankle support. And the chrome on the bottoms and sides chip very easily. These cleats are more of a fashion statment.
October 26, 2014
Best Cleats Ever!!
I have flat feet and the hunt for the cleat that has the most support is difficult. And as many know flat feet is very painful especially for an athlete, in football and weights. Im a 16 year old lineman that weighs 287, I lift all the time and then go to practice. But when I sit down and get some rest, when I TRY to get up I can barely walk. (no lie) The break in period for these cleats was rough but one they are broken in they are amazing. I have had nothing but superior comfort and support. The spikes on the cleats do not wear down nearly as fast as the first highlights, and I have no problems with them, but the chrome paint does peel off pretty quick on the bottom, but that's the only complaint.

Under Armour Men's C1N MC Football Cleat
the shoe is so narrow normal feet cant fit in them.
August 7, 2014
Within first week of play the Velcro that connects strap going over the laces to the shoe came apart from the shoe and it is slowly deteriorating from day to day, bad support- i'm starting to get shin splints and have not had them previously. Also way overpriced. I recommend putting in insoles. Other than the strap and the insoles this is an okay shoe.
September 16, 2014
Good shoe had the old version last year decide to get the new version because I like the shoe
July 4, 2014
Perfect Cleat all-around
This is an excellent shoe they are light weight, but are strong enough to support me; a 225lb TE these cleats have the best traction out of the 5 different cleats that I have for football. The CLUTCHFIT wraps around my ankle perfectly securing my ankles until I take them off and in fact these have helped heal me through 2 sprained ankles. The 4D foam is so soft it is like a mattress in a foot sole. The plasma X plate delivers stability and traction in a lightweight package that makes this an amazing cleat all-around

Great Cleats
My son loves loves loves his new cleats. I love that they have holes for the laces instead of Ilets like the highlights. He suffered a really bad ankle break and I think these cleats will be great for him!
June 18, 2014
Had to send back twice
Theses cleats look amazing but in the inside upper toe area is a plastic piece that hangs and bothers the toe..we send them back and ordered another pair and it was the samething.
June 17, 2014
Ummmm, TOO GOOD
These cleats industrialize the under armour brand forever, with the added ankle support and chrome plate. These are too good to pass off. The style of these cleats are also quite nice!
June 10, 2014
My son loves his new cleats
The fit on his feet was perfect, he loves the way they feel. They are very comfortable and light. The Velcro and shoe strings were too small, we had to add extra to both in order for the top to fit. I like the idea of added support on the ankle and upper ankle where both of my sons have had severe sprains. This was the only drawback for the shoes.

What is Floatation Therapy?
Floatation therapy or "floating" is a holistic treatment using sensory deprivation within a floatation room to promote relaxation and well-being. The pool is filled with approximately 10" of water that has an estimated 1000lbs of Epsom Salts dissolved within it. The high bouyancy minimizes the effects of gravity on the body and gives a feeling of "weightlessness". This water and the room are heated to skin temperature and the lights optionally turned off, thereby minimizing outside distractions and allowing the brain to go into a state of deep thought and relaxation.
Myriad tests have shows that floatation therapy has not only had an immediate effect on pain relief and stress elimination, but it also promotes "whole-brain" thinking, as explained below. Floating is used today by people from all different backgrounds, including athletes, business people, artist, musicians, yogis and spiritualist, pregnant women, students, and even your "Average Joe," for a variety of mental and physical benefits.
It's like having the Dead Sea in your neighborhood.

Floatation Philosophy
The floatation philosophy here at Infinite Floatation Center is to give the community an opportunity to take back their bodies and minds from the everyday abuse that the standard American life provides. Many people are unaware that they can heal themselves with the proper techniques and diet. Floating provides an arena where you can obtain a state of "deep relaxation" while the body begins to mend itself in a zero gravity setting. An around of 85% of people go to the doctor for a stressed related issue or psychosomatic disorder. Methods such as meditation, biofeedback, self-hypnosis and progressive muscular training all require to an extent, some level of practice. People experience deep level of relaxation during their first session of floating. Floating alone or in combination with positive, stress relieving thinking techniques provided by us at Infinite Floatation Center, can truly help put people in a healthy mental state. A positive thought is much, much stronger than a negative thought, but its unfortunate that we tend to generate more negative thoughts because we focus on what we don't have or what we don't want to happen, we dwell on these things. Its also proven that every thought has a frequency and negative thoughts attract negative situations, negative people and negative circumstances. Its a simple shift of the mind, change your thoughts, change your life!

Thats why he makes the big bucksSubmitted by Southern BORN (not verified) on Wed, 10/19/2011 - 8:16pm.
Did an extensive and thorough investigation in secret without any input or influence from the department he was investigating. I can only image how any and all information was gathered and sorted by his committe or group, they probably focused on complicated linear graphs with integer coeffecients, some sticky notes, few directors voting on the real issues, two particular directors identifying the real problem makers,at seperate moments in MR Bs office and reiforcing it by getting thier staff to agree with them out of fear of retribution. Or no report ever existed beyond his usual comment of (IM NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING I KNOW) thats what you get for 90,000 a year. Must have been hard gathering and sorting through all that info and your final analysis is "you would be surprised whats in there". To coin one of Mr Bs comments "looks like a convenience store worker could do that job", just why is he making the big bucks. I think its time for the citizens of Leland to ask for a refund.. »

File and embedded message attachments are also supported (embedded OLE attachments are not supported). Message attachments are converted to GroupWise messages, which means that multiple nested messages (i.e messages forward as attachments several times) can be migrated.
GWMigrate version 2.5 is now provided in 2 editions (Lite and Enterprise) and includes the following enhancements:
A New wizard-based interface.
- In addition to live data, Archived data stored in PST files can also be migrated to a GroupWise account. (Enterprise Edition Only.)
- Public Folder migration allows you to select individual folders to be migrated. The Enterprise Edition allows a Public Folder to migrated directly into a GroupWise resource.
- Individual documents stored in Outlook folders are now migrated.
- Embedded message attachments are now migrated as GroupWise message attachments**.

- Message priority and privacy settings are maintained.
- Free/Busy information on appointments is migrated.
- Additional date filtering, plus the option to migrate all day appointments as notes.
- Much improved logging.
*As GWMigrate uses the Outlook client to perform the migration, items that cannot be opened normally in the Outlook client, may not be completely migrated.
**Embedded message attachment migration currently only works with GW5.5 and GW6.5. We are awaiting a client fix from Novell Engineering to enable this feature to work in GW6. To get around this, the GW5.5 EP client can be used to migrate to a GW6 back end.

The crowd grew so large last Saturday, one resident said the population of Broad Channel may have doubled. The neighborhood's American Legion Hall on Cross Bay Boulevard could not hold everyone who showed up for South Queens' rally against flood insurance premium hikes that begin this month.
It was just one of dozens of rallies held across the country at the same time, including in coastal communities in Louisiana, Florida, Alabama and Massachusetts and floodprone areas in states like Iowa and Illinois. The rallies were held in protest to the 2012 Biggert-Waters Act, a bill that supporters said seeks to put the National Flood Insurance Program on solid financial footing, but opponents fear will lead to the decimation of coastal communities like Howard Beach, Broad Channel and the Rockaways.
Residents from those areas, and from as far away as Rosedale, packed into the hall and those who couldn't fit stood in the open field next door and listened to the list of speakers from outside. Many were carrying signs warning of impending doom if planned hikes in flood insurance premiums which the Federal Emergency Management Agency — the department implementing the Biggert-Waters Act — says are needed to comply with the law go into effect.
The legislation was passed last summer, only a few months before Hurricane Sandy, as part of a larger transportation appropriations bill. It was written in response to massive deficits in the NFIP because of a number of recent costly flooding events around the country that have left the program in the red.
The law eliminates premium subsidies for repetitive loss properties, property owners who do not take steps to mitigate — such as raising home elevations — secondary homes and certain properties that have been protected by grandfathering.
For some residents, flood premiums could go up to $12,000 a year, perhaps higher.
Inside the hall, a steady parade of civic leaders, residents and elected officials spoke about the risks rising flood premiums would impose on the communities they live in or represent.
Broad Channel resident Dan Mundy Jr. noted that the NFIP was created in order to spur coastline development that was deemed too risky due to the flood possibility.
"Since 1968, it's been stated government policy to provide flood insurance at affordable rates in [coastal] areas to encourage development and in the process create a huge tax base," he said. "The government has reaped billions of dollars from that and it's been a good thing, so to change that overnight just makes no sense."
When the law was enacted, the designated flood prone area did not include most of Howard Beach and southern Queens, but post-Sandy and with new FEMA maps being drawn to incorporate Sandy's storm surge flooding, they do.
Roger Gendron, president of the Hamilton Beach Civic Association, said many of the homes placed into the new FEMA maps — including nearly all of Howard Beach— don't belong there.
"The new flood maps are extremely flawed," he said. "Areas that have never flooded before Sandy hit were placed in new flood areas. It's left us all in limbo. The areas that are affected the most are the same areas that would suffer the most if this law goes into effect."
Gendron said many residents in the area have family ties that go back decades and will be unable to stay in the community if the flood insurance goes into effect.
Dorothy McCloskey, a resident of Howard Beach, said she feared the flood insurance rate increase would destroy the neighborhood.
"If the insurance rates go up as high as they say, we'd be ruined," she said. "My husband is retired. We did everything right. And now they tell me I have to come up with another $12,000 a year?"
She added that her husband grew up in the house they live in, and it had never flooded like it did in Sandy.
"They have never said anything like that," she said. "And yet we are in a high-risk flood zone? This is a money-making racket."
Even the law's Democratic co-sponsor, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-California), has rescinded her support for the bill.
"Since the law was enacted, we have seen a slew of confusion in FEMA mapping," Waters said in a statement last month. "In addition, many families now face increased costs that will make homeownership so expensive that many would be forced from their homes or find it impossible to sell. This is unacceptable."
The measure's prime sponsor, Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Illinois), was defeated for re-election last November.
But Congress, locked in an ongoing battle over government funding, the debt ceiling and President Obama's healthcare law has not even touched the issue.
Waters and several other legislators have introduced a bill that would delay premium increases, but that legislation has not even received a hearing yet.
The City Council unanimously passed a resolution calling on Congress to make substantial changes to the Biggert-Waters Act, including reducing the premiums imposed; allowing properties newly mapped into flood zones — as is the case in most of Howard Beach — to participate in a phase-in of rates; allowing for current homeowners receiving subsidized rates to continue getting them until they sell their homes and allowing higher deductibles and lower premiums for homeowners who take flood mitigation actions.
"We didn't just pass the resolution to say 'We got to do something about this problem,'" said Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park). "We gave Congress very specific recommendations."
Ulrich also warned that the bill could lead to the Rockaways and South Queens seeing a rash of foreclosures if the hikes go into effect.

The Federal Reserve: A wealth of data for business reporters
The Federal Reserve managed to work its way into Valentine's Day hearts across the country this year.
It started with fewer than 140 characters. "You're my long-run target; my nominal anchor," @justinwolfers, a University of Pennsylvania economist tweeted a few days early. Within hours, #FedValentines became a trending topic on Twitter.
"My love is elastic, my commitment too big to fail," tweeted the San Francisco Fed. "When I get that feeling I want quantitative easing," @bretlowery wrote. "This time before you bail me out, make sure you handcuff me," said @melaniekahl.
For days, U.S. central bank-inspired love notes have been filling up the Twitterverse. Some tweeters like the way yields curve while others simply can't get enough of the Fed's stimulus. Whatever the attraction, one thing the Fed's fling with the Twitterverse shows is how the central bank can help reporters connect with readers.
In addition to providing fodder for national and international stories, the Fed offers a wealth of information for local, regional and specialty business news reporters. "The trick is to connect the flood of numbers the Fed provides to things that would actually interest people," said Chris Rugaber, an economics reporter for The Associated Press.
"The flow of funds report is an intimidating pile of data, for example, but it is actually telling you how much money the average American holds in stocks, their net worth, how much debt they have," he explained.
The report, also known as the Z.1, is released four times a year in March, June, September and December. To the average reader it may look like about 120 pages of numbers and charts virtually guaranteed to make anyone's eyes glaze over. But to the savvy business reporter, it is much more.
During the Great Recession, The Wall Street Journal's S. Mitra Kalita deciphered the Fed's flow of funds data to explain how American families lost nearly 18 percent of their wealth in 2008 – the largest amount since the government started tracking the data after World War II. Kalita used the Fed's data to explain why Deidre Helberg's son turned his gaze toward state schools instead of pricier private colleges.
The Fed also publishes something it calls the Beige Book several times a year. The document details economic activity in each of the Fed's 12 regions. Sifting through its data can give reporters insights into local housing markets, hiring trends and consumer spending. The report also contains other nuggets of interesting information. Last month's Beige Book, for example, noted reports of government employees sharing rooms to save money rather than booking individually.
Other Fed reports track data including consumer borrowing, manufacturing activity and small business lending.
While the Fed doesn't always breakout local and regional information, Rugaber said local and regional reporters should be mindful of opportunities to see if national trends are holding true in their areas.
It may not equal a lifetime of love, but it should lead to at least a few good stories.

Can You Figure Out This Math Magic Trick?
I like to think I'm pretty good at math puzzles and tricks, but I couldn't figure this one out until he explained it to me. Can you figure out the trick?

I am not really good when it comes to Math subject but I want to learn this kind of trick. It seems exciting:)

CLane's explanation is correct, but I wouldn't actually hand the cards to the person. It's much more impressive if you just flip through them quickly asking, "Is your number on this card?"
For example, let's say your number is 3. The number 3 only appears on two cards: one with 1 in the upper left corner and one with 2 in the upper left corner. Add them up and you've got your number. Try it!
Have fun using it! Once I learned the trick, I used to tell students that I could read their mind and prove it! :) - February 4, 2011 at 12:06 PM
- Adam said...
I've done this one with my 7th graders before... They are always amazed to see it work. I then take it one step further and have them try to figure out how the cards would change / what numbers would appear on each card if there were seven cards or if there where eight cards. All seem to find the experience enjoyable!

Reading Football Club
Industry | Sport & Leisure |
Head Office | Reading |
Solution | Hosted Exchange |
Reading Football Club was established in 1871 and is one of the oldest football clubs in England. Early matches were played in various grounds around Reading before moving to the well-known Elm Park in 1896 – the club's home for 102 years. In 1998, Reading Football Club moved to Madejski Stadium – an impressive, purpose-built ground with a capacity of 24,242 seats. The club is currently playing in the Barclays Premier League, having secured promotion with its npower Championship triumph in the 2011-2012 season.
In 2011 the club moved its email from an in-house solution to one hosted in the cloud. Matt Neilson, IT Manager, gives us an insight into the reasons behind the move and how Cobweb Hosted Exchange is meeting the email requirements for the stadium, training ground, warehouse and recently refurbished Megastore.
The Challenge
Reading Football Club relies heavily on the use of email for all types of communication. "Email is absolutely vital to Reading Football Club for a number of reasons. First and foremost it enables us to connect with our supporters, whether on an individual basis or through our regular newsletters. In addition, it is essential for our fellow clubs and business customers, and last but not least, as a key internal communication tool," explained Matt.
Before moving to a hosted Exchange solution, the club stored its email on an in-house Exchange server. At the time there were around 120 employees and only two members of staff to manage the IT for the whole business – Garry Hanson, IT Manager, and Matt, then Support Analyst.
Although having an in-house server had been adequate in the past, it was becoming increasingly difficult to manage the email demands and support requirements. Limited mailbox quotas meant employees' mailboxes were continually running out of space and with an in-house server that kept failing, Garry and Matt knew they needed to upgrade.
"I was involved in the decision to go hosted and liked the idea of moving to the cloud instead of upgrading our Exchange server in-house. As there were only two of us supporting the IT for over 100 employees, I realised a hosted solution would give us the Exchange expertise and extra email support we simply didn't have internally," continued Matt.
Both Garry and Matt knew they could upgrade the server and hardware themselves to fix the problems they were having, but this would entail large upfront costs. They realised if they opted for a hosted solution, they would remove the unnecessary capital expenditure by spreading the costs per user, per month. Happy with their decision, they contacted Cobweb.
The Solution
Making initial contact by enquiring through www.cobweb.com, Garry quickly received a call from Oliver Nelson, Cobweb Sales Executive, who explained the benefits of hosted Exchange as an email solution. Garry and Matt both liked the idea that Cobweb's hosted Exchange service came with a customer control panel that would give them total control over their user accounts and limits. It would also offer a scalability solution that would enable the club to increase and decrease mailboxes based on the success of the club. This, matched with Cobweb's ISO accreditations in security, gave Garry and Matt the confidence to select Cobweb as their hosted services provider.
Matt, now IT Manager for the club, highlighted the range of benefits he receives from Cobweb's hosted Exchange solution:
"Hosting our email through Cobweb Solutions has made life so much easier. I don't need to worry anymore about storage, servers or whether or not I need to expand the hardware and software. It really was a no-brainer moving to a cloud-based solution."
He continued, "It's taken the stress away too. With 24/7 support available with Cobweb, I'm no longer concerned I might get a phone call in the middle of the night to find out the server's gone down. Knowing that Cobweb has the expertise in Exchange that we don't have in-house, I can now concentrate on supporting other areas of the business with the peace of mind that our email just works.
"The other benefit I realised was the ease to set-up a new mailbox. It really is just a click of a button now. There's no longer a need to create .pst files, which has saved me a huge amount of time, and I can now set-up emails on iPhones and iPads too, which is critical to our club as it benefits the management and staff when they're out on the road."
The Cobweb Experience
Matt also found the migration experience very straightforward. "I took some migration training so I could move the mailboxes across myself. I did this one department at a time and it only took a week to move them all across. It really was flawless."
Would Matt recommend Cobweb to others? "Absolutely! Cobweb does what it says on the tin and I couldn't be more pleased with the service," replied Matt.

It's Fashion Friday around here today, with another installment of "Dress the Designer"! My sweet friend Nancy of Marcus Design is visiting, and she has put together not one, not two, but THREE gorgeous outfits for me!
I am thrilled and honored to be participating in Karla's fantastic 'Dress the Designer' series! Her work and her career path are so inspirational to me, so I am excited to 'virtually' dress this fabulous lady today! I adore Karla's classic, clean and preppy design aesthetic, and I tried to translate this into pieces for her wardrobe by choosing items with clean lines, less pattern, and more texture. I think of classic investment pieces like the Dorothy Perkins blazer and the Marc by Marc Jacobs bag as the 'custom-fabric sofas' of our wardrobes! My favorite piece has to be the John Lewis Stripe dress, it exudes the 'Hamptons' vibe with a touch of glam like so many of Karla's spaces do. As a designer, artist, wife, and mom, this girl has many roles to fill so I tried to give her a few looks that could suit this busy lifestyle. And I think the same rules that we apply to design should apply to our fashion: mix high and low end pieces, combine the old and new, and follow the rules but know when to break them!

Reading proficiency is considered a top priority in education, and a skill with myriad implications for learning and achievement in other areas. Yet in the past, literacy rarely has been emphasized for students with mental retardation. With interventions that recognize the importance of literacy for all students, students with mental retardation can build reading skills that can lead to new interests, increased competencies, and greater independence. Understanding the characteristics of students with mental retardation is an important step toward the development of effective instruction and appropriate assessment.
This paper is intended to begin a discussion of the issues surrounding reading and students with mental retardation; it is not intended to be a comprehensive research review. The paper provides: (1) an overview of the characteristics of students with mental retardation, (2) a description of common approaches to reading instruction, and (3) assessment approaches and issues that surround the assessment of reading for students with mental retardation. The paper is one of several brief papers developed to contribute to the process of conducting research and developing accessible reading assessments for students with disabilities. Creating accessible reading assessments based on accepted definitions of reading and proficiencies of reading requires knowledge of the issues specific to each disability and how they affect reading and the assessment of reading. The information in these papers was obtained through a broad review of literature and Web sites of national agencies and organizations, along with input and feedback from professionals in the disability areas. Each paper is intended as a first step to facilitate discussions that include individuals who do not know the disability, in this case mental retardation, and those who may know the disability but have not considered the interaction of the disability with reading or the assessment of reading through statewide testing.
More than 600,000 students 6-21 years of age in the United States received special education services for mental retardation during the 2000-2001 school year, comprising about 11% of all students with disabilities in U.S. schools (U.S. Department of Education, 2002). The causes of mental retardation in children vary widely, including fetal alcohol syndrome, genetic disorders like Down syndrome and fragile X syndrome, environmental factors like lead poisoning, or diseases such as meningitis. The American Association on Mental Retardation (2002) defines mental retardation as a "disability characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills." For many years students with mental retardation were identified solely using intelligence testing. IQ levels among students labeled as mentally retarded can vary from 20-25 (profound mental retardation) to 50-75 (mild mental retardation); according to the DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association, 2000), 85 percent of individuals with mental retardation have mild mental retardation.
It has been estimated that 28,056 K-12 English language learners (ELLs) received special education services for mental retardation in 2001-2002. Thus, approximately 7.9% of school-age ELLs with disabilities were identified with mental retardation (Zehler, Fleischman, Hopstock, Pendzick, & Stephenson, 2003). The challenge of learning English and having a disability adds another level of complexity to learning to read and demonstrate reading achievement (Mueller & Markowitz, 2004).
Similar to other special education categories, but perhaps more unexpectedly, the criteria for students to be eligible for the mental retardation label varies from state to state (Beirne-Smith, Ittenbach, & Patton, 1998). The Twenty-Fourth Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) reported that poor students were 1.5 times more likely to be referred to special education; it noted significantly lower cognitive development and lower achievement among this population than among non-poor students. The report speculated on causes from lead poisoning to parent education level, but some advocates have argued that poor students, and particularly poor minority students, have been over-identified in the mild mental retardation category and misplaced in special education classrooms (Losen, 2002).
The term "mental retardation" is widely used and coded into federal law, but the term remains the subject of considerable controversy. Some advocacy groups and professional associations argue that the negative stigma of the term mental retardation could be avoided by using less loaded language. The ARC of the United States, one of the country's largest advocacy organizations for people with mental retardation, eschews the term mental retardation in its mission statement (The ARC, 2004) in favor of "cognitive, intellectual, and developmental disabilities." In 2004, Special Olympics updated its terminology from "mental retardation" to "intellectual disabilities" (see the Language Guide under "About Us," then "Information about Intellectual Disabilities" at www.specialolympics.org). In this paper we use the term "mental retardation" as a legal term defined by IDEA, while cognizant of this significant shift in terminology.
Characteristics of students with mental retardation vary widely. Students with mental retardation may have difficulty with expressive language, poor short-term memory, low level meta-cognition skills, and poor use of logic and organization. Some students who are labeled as mentally retarded also have motor difficulties that can affect their handwriting or their ability to hold reading material steadily (Rizopoulos & Wolpert, 2004). Students with mental retardation, like all students, demonstrate wide variation in strengths, weaknesses, interests, and motivation, all of which should be reflected in each student's Individualized Education Program (IEP).
Traditionally, special educators have de-emphasized literacy, particularly for students with moderate to severe mental retardation, in favor of functional, social, or motor skills (Kliewer & Biklen, 2001). Many people with mental retardation read below their projected capabilities, and both general and special education teacher education textbooks are marked by a scarcity of information on academic characteristics, assessment procedures, and instruction in literacy for students with mental retardation. Only recently have educators begun to recognize the value of reading and writing skills for all students, including those with severe mental retardation (Katims, 2000).
Since school systems have begun to include students with moderate to severe mental retardation in assessments (IDEA, 1997, 2004) and accountability (NCLB, 2001), and thus also included in more academic instruction, these students have been achieving at much higher and more complex levels than researchers, practitioners, and even advocates expected (see Moore-Lamminen & Olsen, 2005). This powerful evidence has forced educational professionals to revisit long-held assumptions about the benefits of academic instruction for all children, and is generating provocative reading research on new, rigorous approaches to reading instruction for students with mental retardation (e.g., Reading, Writing, Math, and Science for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities, Diane Browder, PI).
The focus in education for students with mental retardation has shifted from an emphasis on providing services related to placement, such as disability specific classrooms or special schools, to providing individualized supports to help every student access the general curriculum in an inclusive classroom setting. American Association on Mental Retardation (AAMR), a lead advocate of the "supports model," emphasized in its 2002 definition of mental retardation that the effects of mental retardation can be ameliorated with personalized supports. This shift in thinking correlates with an increased emphasis on inclusionary and mainstream education for students with mental retardation, giving these students access to a challenging and interesting general curriculum and an integrated social environment. IDEA 1997 emphasized that students with disabilities must have access to the same challenging content taught to all students; this was reiterated and strengthened in IDEA 2004. Many special education researchers and advocates argue that holding students with disabilities, including mental retardation, to the same high expectations as all students will improve learning and educational outcomes for these students (McGrew & Evans, 2004).
Approaches to teaching reading to students with mental retardation fall broadly into two categories. One broad category is the traditional or direct instruction approach, which teaches reading as distinct subsets of skills such as phonics and sight word recognition (Rizopoulos & Wolpert, 2004). The traditional approach is based on a behaviorist model, emphasizing drill and practice of a linear set of literacy skills. The second approach is a progressive, holistic approach that teaches comprehension and critical thinking along with phonological awareness, decoding, vocabulary, and reading for enjoyment (Katims, 2000). Each of these approaches has had support with some students with mental retardation and for various purposes (Browder & Xin, 1998; Cunningham, 1999; Driscoll & Kemp, 1996; Hendricks, Katims, & Carr, 1999; Joseph & McCachran, 2003; Katims, 2000; Moni & Jobling, 2000).
Assistive technology and technology increasingly have become important supports for reading-related instruction and reading for students with mental retardation. For example, Erickson and Koppenhaver (1995) found that computer and light technology can give students with severe mental retardation the supports they need to build communication skills. Continued interest in the literacy outcomes of students with mental retardation and supporting research has blossomed in the past few years, and is most likely to be a productive area for the reading futures of students with mental retardation (Beukelman & Mirenda, 2005; Erickson, Clendon, Abraham, Roy, & Van de Karr, 2005; Sturm, Erickson, & Yoder, 2003).
In their review of literacy approaches for adolescents with developmental delays, Rizopoulos and Wolpert (2004) suggested that both traditional and progressive approaches to literacy instruction can be appropriate for certain students. Recent research by Diane Browder looks closely at the assumption that students with the most severe mental retardation benefit only from functional approaches to literacy. Browder and Algozzine argue more research is needed to understand how students with severe mental retardation might benefit from explicit instruction in decoding and comprehension skills (Browder & Algozzine, draft).
Most students with mental retardation participate in the same large-scale reading assessments as all students. While not all students with mental retardation will require supports or accommodations on large-scale assessments, these students have access to the same accommodations that other students with disabilities receive. Whether a student will require extra time on tests, large print, read-aloud directions, alternative setting accommodations, or other supports to demonstrate maximum proficiency depends on the individual strengths and weaknesses of each student. The most common accommodations used for students with mental retardation include breaking tasks into smaller steps, providing read aloud directions or questions, and visual cues (such as arrows, stickers, or stop signs, highlighting of key words or verbs, or supplementing text with pictures). Other accommodations range from encouraging students to stay on task and oral directions accompanied by written directions, to noise buffers and adaptive furniture (Clapper, Morse, Lazarus, Thompson, & Thurlow, 2005).
Some students with the most significant cognitive disabilities who are unable to participate in large-scale assessments even with accommodations are eligible to take alternate assessments. All alternate assessments are aligned to grade-level academic content standards, but they can be based on either grade level achievement standards or alternate achievement standards. The students who may participate in alternate assessments on grade level achievement standards may need accommodations not available on general assessments or need different formats or contexts to demonstrate grade-level proficiency (National Center on Educational Outcomes Web site, 2005). Students with the most significant cognitive disabilities can demonstrate proficiency on an alternate achievement standard. Alternate assessments should promote access to the general curriculum and reflect professional judgment of the highest achievement standard possible for each individual student.
The intent of this brief paper is to highlight issues surrounding reading and students with mental retardation. While not a comprehensive review, it is intended to give enough of a sense of the characteristics of the students, general instructional approaches used with them, and assessment approaches and issues to generate discussion about the possible ways in which more accessible assessments can be designed for those students who are proficient readers given their diagnosis of mental retardation. This paper is part of the background for research on accessible reading assessments conducted by the Partnership for Accessible Reading Assessments, and for discussions among collaborators on the National Accessible Reading Assessment Projects (NARAP).

Articles that have been previously published offline must be marked as such, and appropriate copyright permissions must be included with your submission.
Content is King:
We love articles that have been thoroughly checked for spelling and grammar. We may correct a few minor offenses in an otherwise great article; however, there is probably a spell checker on your computer, it's shameful to let dust collect on it.
There is room for 1000 words in each article, please use it all. If you need more space, take it; but be judicious. Too much text can bog you down. Keep paragraphs concise, euphemisms minimal, and metaphors simple. A tangled web of thoughts is no way to help the reader learn something new.
Generously link to references and examples that reinforce your message. Appropriate inline examples, quotes and references are encouraged as well. Verify your references and double check your examples. Neither of us came here to be embarrassed.
Presentation counts too:
All articles submitted to WPDFD must be in either valid XHTML (preferred) or plain text format.
For XHTML: please limit yourself to simple, semantically accurate valid markup. The h1 element is reserved for use as a page header, so please use h2 through h4 as needed in your article. DO NOT use your own styles unless it is within the context of your examples.
For Plain Text: please put link text in square brackets, with the URL in parentheses following your link text

Stephen Hawking has a solution for curing the state of the environment: chuck it all and move to space.
The astrophysicist says that with the way humans are currently treating the environment, the best hope for human survival i-- in the next 100 years -- is space exploration and colonization.
Stephen says that there are only so many resources on earth, and with our constant population expansion and environmental changes, space really is the next frontier if we want to live at the same level.
"Our genetic code still carries the selfish and aggressive instincts that were of survival advantage in the past. It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand or million," he said. "Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space."
No word yet on whether recycling is pointless, or what planets we should be eyeing. But, we're sure he'll cover it all in his new five-part television series, "Brave New World" on Discovery HD.
In the meantime, we're going to start saving for a phat condo on Mars.

Kate's Break, 9 a.m.
Every so often, Hollywood scans the teeming masses of unheralded actors who toil in this city and -- seemingly at random -- picks one as the Next Big Thing. This time, it's Kate Bosworth's turn, and the swirl of buzz surrounding her is already approaching tsunami proportions. The 20-year-old actress has precisely one starring credit to her name -- playing a babacious surfer chick in last year's ''Blue Crush'' -- and yet here she is, strolling onto the set of the romantic comedy ''Win a Date With Tad Hamiliton'' for her second high-profile role of the year. (She just finished costarring with Val Kilmer in the sure-to-be-controversial John Holmes biopicture, ''Wonderland''; later this year she'll play 1950s ingenue Sandra Dee opposite Kevin Spacey in ''Beyond the Sea.'').
In her case, at least, there does seem to be more happening here than hype. ''Kate Bosworth is a movie star in every sense of the word,'' believes director Robert Luketic (''Legally Blonde''), watching his new starlet prepare for a scene in which her character, a naive Midwestern girl who wins a date with fictional movie star Tad Hamilton (Josh Duchamel), first arrives at LAX. ''There is something incredibly paper thin about some of these Next Big Things, but Kate has the talent to back the fame up. The notice she's getting is not a result of some publicity machine. It's because of the quality of her work.''
Still, Bothworth has valid reasons to be scared: Stunning NBTs or arguably equal talent and have come and gone before her (see Gretchen Moll). ''When someone says something nice, I wonder about their real motive,'' Bosworth says. It's a horrible way to be, but if you're a hundred percent innocent in this business, you're going to be eaten alive.''
She's already learned Lesson No. 1.
Crafting the Perfect ''D'Oh!'' 10:10 a.m.
Their Monday morning probably isn't entirely dissimilar from yours: They get up, get dressed, go to work, and slurp coffee while engaging in deliciously nerdy debates about ''The Simpsons'' with their coworkers. The only difference is: These guys get paid a lot more for it. Tucked away in a cozy, bungalow-style office on the Fox studio lot in L.A., the show's 20 writers earn their keep by poring over the blueprints for an episode airing next year in which bully Nelson moves into the Simpson household after Marge grows motherly toward him. Even with a script from a seasoned scribe, the rewriting process is significant; today's pass is the first of two or three drafts to be completed before the cast is brought in to record their parts; more tweaking will likely follow. (And it can be as subtle -- and as important -- as simply changing the phrase ''giving my self-hatred a swirlie'' to ''giving my self-hatred a purple nurple.'') Despite this cultivation-by-committee construct, the vibe in the room is far more casual than corporate, though not completely kooky. ''Everybody has an arrow in their head, everybody's wearing rainbow suspenders, and everybody has a Nerf gun,'' ''Simpsons'' writer Matt Warburton deadpans. ''Because it's comedy, right?'' And comedy is the sole objective, insists executive producer Al Jean. ''It's not something where your name goes on the joke, so it's noncompetitive,'' he says. ''It's something where you only want to get a good product.'' Along the way, however, some wackiness does ensue -- though outsiders don't always get the humor. ''[People always] say, 'What goes on in there?''' says coexecutive producer Ian Maxtone-Graham. ''Every now and then, I try to explain step-by-step a comic digression that had us all doubled over in stitches and they look at me like I'm dehydrated. Which I am.''
Mya Busts Some Tour Moves, 3:35 p.m.
Inside a North Hollywood rehearsal studio, Mya (front) and five dancers she's about to take on tour are running through their paces. ''My love is like...wo!'' Mya mimes, gyrating wildly to her new single. ''My touch is like...wo!... My ass is like...wo!'' And with that, she and the two female dancers snap their well-toned bums toward the male hoofers, who feign whiplash. When they bring this choreography to the stage (opening for Mariah and R. Kelly Stateside, and headlining overseas), Mya won't even participate in most of it, because she doesn't want to cheat with tapes on the singing front, à la some other dancing divas. But she's still learning every step, and ''the stuff that I think is most effective, I'll jump into.'' Dance rehearsals have been going on so far for a week and a half, six hours a day, following every-other-morning physical therapy. Her discipline is like...wo!
Taking a Meeting, 4:12 p.m.
On today's agenda at Revolution Studios is casting for ''The Forgotten,'' a supernatural thriller about a grieving mother (Julianne Moore already has the part) whose dead son may be a figment of her imagination. Oscar-winning producers Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen (''American Beauty''), Revolution partner Todd Garner (above right, with Cohen), development exec Scott Bernstein, and director Joseph Ruben (''The Good Son'') are running through a list of names (we've agreed not to reveal) to play a detective who befriends Moore. Garner envisions a Jodie Foster-in-''The Silence of the Lambs'' type. Cohen thinks one TV-drama actress radiates the right toughness -- ''she's got balls, it's all about her balls.'' The others are unconvinced. The name of a not-quite-A-list beauty is floated. ''Too model-y,'' says Ruben. The group dismisses an indie regular as muted, then focuses on an action-prone star (''she's tough and sexy,'' Ruben enthuses) -- but has she gotten too big for a supporting role? Garner argues that the actress will be ''in 80 percent of the movie, and [she's given an intriguing scene] that people will be talking about it. It seems like a real actor would want to do this.'' Let's go back to that Jodie Foster idea...
Casting the ''Everwood'' Sister, 5:15 p.m.
''I'm just going to do my thing,'' Melinda McGraw announces before launching into her audition on the Warner Bros. lot. ''Stop me if you want something different.'' ''Everwood'' casting director Patrick Rush doesn't stop her, which could be a good sign or a bad one. If McGraw lands the part -- playing the new-to-town sister of Dr. Harold Abbott (Tom Amandes) on the WB hit drama -- it could be a career-making break, giving this working but still unrecognizable actress her biggest shot at fame. But then, that's a big if. ''She has the look and I like her voice,'' says Rush after the audition. ''But the warmth is missing.'' Still, in Hollywood hope springs eternal -- or at least gets strung along for a while. ''I'd fight to bring her back,'' he adds. ''We need three choices to take to Warner. Hopefully two will be approved to [take to the] network.''
Rowan Atkinson Cranks the Yank Market, 5:48 p.m.
Rowan Atkinson unwinds in his dressing room after a guest spot on ''The Tonight Show'' plugging his new movie, ''Johnny English.'' ''I was very nervous for the first few minutes,'' confesses the 48-year-old British comedian. ''I'm not a naturally funny person. I'm not improvisational. And there's this enormous obligation to be entertaining.'' Atkinson did just fine -- scoring laughs by removing his pants -- but the pressure was clearly on: Although an enormous star worldwide (among British actors he's second only to Hugh Grant at the global box office), he's still a cult figure here (thanks to imports like ''Mr. Bean''). But his spy-spoof movie could change all that, potentially becoming his American breakthrough (overseas gross so far: more than $120 million). His goal tonight, of course, is to get Leno watchers to see ''English.'' ''Achieving success in the U.S. isn't something I hanker for on a personal level, and it's not really necessary for commercial reasons,'' Atkinson says. ''But it would be nice. It's nice when two people like you, but it's even nicer when three like you.''
Breaking the Band, 11 p.m.
By the looks of the Beatles-on-''Ed Sullivan'' response Yellowcard are getting at the release party for their new album ''Ocean Avenue,'' you'd think they were superstars. But the moshing girls and boys at L.A.'s Roxy belie the long road ahead for the pop-punks, signed to Capitol in April after building a rabid yet tiny fan base with constant touring. ''We've been working as hard as we could for years, and that won't change,'' says frontman Ryan Key (above). ''It's just more people turning switches and making things happen.'' Across town, Capitol president Andy Slater is pushing Yellowcard and upstart rapper Chingy but says the marketing philosophy is the same for both. With music, he says, ''it's never really about the first-week sales.... These are artists and this is their lives. Let's try to give them a long-term career rather than see if it can happen right away.''
Preserving the Indie Cred, 11:30 p.m.
At a Glendale dive near where Nicolette (vocals) and Aixa (drums) Vilar, Betty Cisneros (guitar), and Michelle Rangel (bass) grew up to become L.A.'s ass-kickingest punk band and the only boy-free act on the Warped Tour, Go Betty Go still work hard at maintaining their independence despite heavy label courting. ''When the right deal comes along,'' shrugs Aixa, ''we'll be happy. So far, they haven't been to our convenience.'' As for all the hype over being all-girl, all-Latina? ''We're just a rock band,'' says Betty. ''Leave us alone.''

The Chesapeake Crab Cake entree is served with potato, vegetable, and rolls (although our potato was substituted with rice). Also available are fried Chesepeake Crab Balls on the appetizer menu. Entree only comes broiled, and is market price. Served with lemon wedge and what appears to be a spicy aioli (maybe spiced with Old Bay?).
The crab cake is comprised of jumbo lump crab meat held together with what appears to be bread and mayonnaise. Crab is in lumps amongst some broken pieces. Binder is smooth and creamy with a bready texture. Not much by way of spicing.
Crab has a really good flavor to it, but the binder ends up being a bit one note. While there is a bready texture to the cake, it doesn't really have much flavor. You can only really taste the crab, and while it is tasty, there should be a little more flavor complexity that doesn't come in the form of a side sauce. The centers of our cakes were a bit mushy, so there could have been a little less binder and possibly also have been cooked a bit longer.
Have you tried the Sly Horse Tavern's Chespaeake Crab Cakes? Tell us about it in the comments!
