Special Education General Curriculum (Ed.S.)
Available at the Macon campus
The Specialist in Education (Ed.S.) program offered in Special Education provides advanced study for qualified master educators. The degree will be broadly focused on special education with issues related to the education of students with disabilities while providing extensive opportunities for each student to concentrate study and conduct research within their specific area of interest such as learning disabilities and reading, student involvement in Individualized Educational Program (IEP) planning and behavioral self-management.
Objectives: The primary objective of the program is for students to develop skills that facilitate their action as change agents in educational settings serving individuals with disabilities. Through sequenced coursework and assessments, students will gain skills and knowledge in designing and implementing research-based programs in field-based settings. Graduates of the program will possess the knowledge and skills to become leaders in their schools and to positively impact school and system practices.
Format: The program format will be a cohort approach guiding a group of students through sequenced classes that progressively build capacities. The program will require students to conduct research in an education related setting with individuals with disabilities. Thus, students must either be employed in a setting with individuals with disabilities or have immediate access to such a setting. Although classes will make use of web-based instructional tools, 8 of the 9 courses will involve regularly scheduled class meetings on five Saturdays per semester. The cohort model and regular meetings will be used to encourage peer collaboration and communication as a channel for professional growth and development. The cohort learning community will be used to foster professional skills and knowledge necessary for initiating systems change in field-based settings. The program integrates GC's Graduate Programs' emphasis on applied research skills and professional development with the institutional focus on learning communities.
New cohorts begin in the fall semester.

Andy Reid's son found dead
BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Garrett Reid, son of Eagles coach Andy Reid, was found dead in a Lehigh University dorm room early Sunday morning.
Reid's body was discovered by an "Eagles official," who called police at 7:20 a.m. to report that he was unresponsive, according to Ed Shupp, Lehigh University Chief of Police. Shupp declined to say who the Eagles official was, but said it was not Andy Reid.
Shupp said police arrived at the dorm room at 7:21 a.m. An autopsy is expected to be completed in 24 to 48 hours, he said.
"There is no indication of a suicide or foul play," Shupp said.
I know his son had struggled with drug addiction for years, but this is still sad.

RANSOM TOWNSHIP — For many folks in our area, it's a Thanksgiving custom to head to your favorite bakery to pick up desserts for the holiday.
At one such place in Lackawanna County, bakers were putting in overtime to fill Thanksgiving orders.
Rich Williams and his pie-baking team are heading into their busiest day after pulling an all-nighter pumping out so many pies that one sits on just about every surface of the shop near Clarks Summit.
"We're all running in circles, we're all bumping into each other. It's been busy, we have wholesale going out, it's pretty crazy," said Laurel Williams, his wife.
This is Williams' Pies second Thanksgiving season in a new location in Ransom Township. The Williams' first home was in West Scranton and then Dunmore. Many of their old customers still make the trip for the homemade pies.
"They're local and they have a great reputation, they've been around for years," said customer Bill Auriemma of Ransom Township.
The owners said the process hasn't changed much, orders are prepared for pick-up on the hour all day.
The owners were a little worried about this Thanksgiving week because last month when Sandy hit, they were without power for five days. A lot of Thanksgiving product was lost.
"We did try to pre-make some shells and we froze them, but they all molded on us, but we're dealing with it," said Williams.
The bakers were able to catch up and make all 800 pies ordered for the holiday.

Presents the author's evolving views of the best current positions on certain core philosophical and psychological problems. These positions together suggest a skeptical or nihilist perspective modified by evolutionary psychology and contemporary philosophy that embraces our desire to live as best we can and the relative and psychological reality of values, free will and other phenomena while recognizing limitations on their foundations and our understanding. The below makes no claims to originality for most of the ideas expressed, drawing on a range of mostly unreferenced texts (which will be familiar to philosophers and psychologists working in this area). Readers may want to start at the bottom with the first entry. - Marc Krellenstein (personal info here)
Given the widespread but apparently false belief that there are true, absolute moral values we would probably be better off eliminating from our vocabulary the words that imply the existence of such values – words such as 'moral', 'right' and 'wrong'. Such 'moral abolitionism' has been suggested by others who deny the existence of moral absolutes, including Greene (2002), Burgess (in an early unpublished work finally published in 2007) and Garner (2007). It would likely be better to refer to positions one favors or opposes rather than describe them as 'right' or 'wrong'. This would not prevent us from reasoning about values and their implications. It would also not prevent us from adopting and living by particular values we believe are in our interest, supporting/condemning actions vigorously or choosing to punish or fight those who violate norms we endorse. But it would eliminate language that implies there are values or obligations that command obedience of oneself or another because of their objective truth. Discussing values as personal (if sometimes widely shared) and relative would likely make 'moral' disagreements less intractable and more like other disagreements, increasing the possibilities for compromise. Compromise would not be required (nothing is)…but the choice would be more accurately focused as a practical decision to compromise or not rather than a decision that allows no compromise by definition.
Some who believe that moral values are not absolute (e.g., Joyce, 2001) nevertheless think we might be better retaining the fiction of moral absolutes and continue to speak of 'right' and 'wrong'…that such talk would better reinforce the shared values a community has, providing a net benefit. Whether this is the case is, as Joyce and others have observed, an empirical question, but one might hope that people could see values for what they are and learn to better understand and reason about differences in them while still respecting their importance.
(One exception to eliminating the language of moral realism (i.e., that there are objective moral truths) might be for raising children, where a simpler approach may be needed to encourage particular behaviors. Greene (2002) observes that we might "simply allow or even encourage realist dialogue with those who are too young to handle the meta-ethical truth [that there are no moral absolutes]"(p. 279).)

Editor's NoteIn the sitcom tradition of imperfect suburban family men such as Ray Barone and Archie Bunker, brutish funnyman Jim Belushi (K-9, CURLY SUE) is Jim. Jim is a loving husband and father whose laziness regularly causes him to cut corners to disastrous effect, and whose stubborn machismo all-too-often puts him at odds with his sassy yet rational wife Cheryl (Courtney Thorne-Smith, ALLY MCBEAL). Not helping matters much are Cheryl's seemingly ever-present brother Andy (Larry Joe Campbell), a guy's guy who usually takes Jim's side, and sister Dana (Kimberly Williams-Paisley), who never misses an opportunity to gang up on the titular papa. Through their very bickering, however, it becomes clear that Jim and Cheryl, a regular yin and yang of a couple, never doubt their love for one another for even a moment. Belushi puts a lot of himself into gruff patriarch Jim, a devoted fan of all Chicago-based sport teams who finds artistic release as an avid bluesman. This collection includes all 22 episodes of the long-running family sitcom's first season.

I'm here at the Ignatzes where the shortest award show on the planet is held, and the room is PACKED. SRO as always, and nearly all the winners were on hand. The emcee was New Yorker cartoonist Liza Donnelly and she had chosen all cartoonists who are women as presenters, which was extremely refreshing.
Complete 2013 Ignatz award winners: DeForge wins three
All women presenters? Are there that many women working in comics? How did they ever assemble them all?
For those griping about the state of Marvel and DC, would it be too much to ask that they sample some Lust, Forsman or DeForge?
I've always considered the Ignatz to be the most important awards.
A bit like a comics biennial.
What the heck are Beer-ritas?
Nate: "sample some Lust" doesn't read in type the way it sounds in words.
Anyway that's a false equivalency. People read MDC comics because they like that aesthetic. Even though I like DeForge (for example), he doesn't replace my interest in Samnee (for example). What you are saying is akin to someone complaining about how bad "The Expendables" movie was and then recommending that the watch "Amour" instead. It's not the answer sought. The person just wants a better action movie.
Also I dislike the implication that artcomics should be described as being in opposition by nature to superhero comics. I dislike the tendency to describe by negation rather than by affirmation. "Artcomics" is a better word than "alternative comics" for that reason. Describing a style by identifying what it is rather than what it is not.

The thing about humor in thrillers is this: it has to be in exactly the right spot -- After the tension.
But I agree with you RO, funny is definitely under-rated. And for me personally, I find it hard to read any book that is humorless.
How about humorous -- is that allowed?

When Kate Flora and I talked to about 30 independent booksellers (a few years ago when there were that many!) and asked them what their patrons are looking for in a mystery novel, their answer: FUNNY.
I love funny, when it works, in a crime novel (mystery, thriller, you label it). What I don't like is stupid slapschtick that feels as if it's just there for a laugh.
- November 18, 2010 at 10:36 AM
- Hank Phillippi Ryan said...
Yeah, funny is ...just how the world is. People are funny, without even knowing it.And that's what makes funny in a novel--that it's--"amusing" "interesting" makes us look at things another way. A fun way.
(I was at a speech this AM given by Calvin Trillin. SO Funny. And part of the funniness was that he didn't crack a smile through the whole thing.)
It's not slip on a banana peel. That's not funny (usually) it's stupid. (Unless you're writing I Lov Lucy.) Or when a character tells a joke.
And forgive me for being contrarian, but I think quirky is..well, to me, that says "studied."
Avery, RO, you're funny. GOOD-funny. NATURAL-funny. How real people are. Which is why we love them.

It's true that comic novels are never taken seriously!
I write a funny mystery series and my readers write to tell me that they love the books--but how often does a comic novel show up among Edgar nominees, or on 10 best lists?
The attitude is always: because it is funny it is slight. Not true. There are two ways of approaching a situation. One can wallow in tragedy or one can laugh at tragedy. One can criticize human failings or one can ridicule human failings. I choose the latter, poking gentle fun.
- November 18, 2010 at 1:49 PM
Rhys--I'm with you! That's what I was getting at with my post last week about funny novels/movies not receiving awards. There's a perception that something can't be both funny and insightful/ meaningful and that is so not true.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - An Albuquerque man accused of breaking into "Breaking Bad" actor Bryan Cranston's car late last year and stealing a script has been arrested again.
Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office records show that 29-year-old Xavier McAfee was arrested Wednesday on another count of auto burglary.
Deputies arrested McAfee last month on suspicion of breaking into Cranston's car in December and stealing an iPad, a shoulder bag and miscellaneous personal things.
The award-winning AMC TV series is set in Albuquerque and is filming its fifth and final season in and around the city.
"Breaking Bad" follows Cranston's character, Walter White, producing and selling methamphetamine with former student Jesse Pinkman, who's played by Aaron Paul.
It was not clear if McAfee had an attorney.

Drivers in the Military in CaliforniaPage Overview
California Resident Driver's License
If you hold a California driver's license and are stationed outside of the state, you will not be required to renew your license when it expires. According to California law, as long as you call the California DMV at (916) 657-7790 and update your record, you'll be issued a DL 236 card to carry with your California driver's license. This card shows that your license is still valid under California law.
California Resident Spouse and Family
This protection extends to your spouse or other family member who's stationed with you outside of California. To renew a driver's license, they may:
- Call the DMV at (916) 657-7790 to request a renewal of their driver's license.
- Or write to the DMV at:
- Department of Motor Vehicles
- P.O. Box 942890
- Sacramento, CA 94290
The DMV will then issue a temporary extension for their driver's license, valid for 1 year.
When You Return to California
Once you return, you will need to make an appointment with your local DMV to renew your driver's license. You'll have a bit of a time cushion to do so―your current license will be valid for 30 days once you return to the state.
Be sure to carry all documentation, including discharge papers (if any), with you while you are waiting for your DMV appointment.
California Resident Automobile Registration
If you're deployed and your registration expires, you're eligible for a waiver of the late fee. Training doesn't count.
Nonresident Driver License
If you're stationed in California and hold a driver's license from your home state, you may drive in California as long as your out-of-state license remains valid. Contact the DMV or equivalent agency in your state for the extension or renewal procedure for military personnel and their families.
Nonresident Vehicles
If you are a nonresident member of the military stationed in California, you may operate a vehicle as long as it has valid license plates from your home state or the state from which you are regularly assigned. The vehicle must be registered to you or to your spouse, and it must be insured.
This form is sent by the DMV to military personnel who request a renewal extenstion. Not available online.

The Department of Rhetoric and Writing at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in collaboration with the Department of Writing at the University of Central Arkansas are hosting a composition conference on Friday, March 7, 2014, to open conversations on the teaching of composition. The theme of this year's regional composition conference is exploring the intersections where students, teachers, administrators, and the community meet.
The crossroads of composition offer opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and writing in and for the public. The conference will serve as a platform for sharing pedagogies, engaging in curricular conversations, and learning from best practices. Using the Writing Program Administrators Outcomes Statement as the center of praxis, the conference aspires to bring local educators and administrators together.
Attend the conference on Friday, March 7, 2014, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Ledbetter Assembly Hall in UALR's Donaghey Student Center. See local information for parking information and campus and building maps.
Participate in the conversation about composition from theoretical underpinnings, curricular redesigns, teaching with technology, and issues of student and teacher identity. The conversation strives to encompass the teaching of composition across locations, from high school concurrent and AP classrooms to two-year and four-year institutions of higher education. This regional conference brings together administrators and teachers of writing to collaboratively share pedagogical strategies and explore teaching philosophies.
Attend sessions that explore ways to navigate the crossroads of composition. Interact with the keynote speaker Dr. Andrea Lunsford, Louise Hewlett Nixon Professor of English and Director of the Program in Writing and Rhetoric at Stanford University, as she speaks on the topic "What is Writing and How Should We Teach It?"
On-site registration will be available at the conference site the day of the conference. Online registration is now closed.

P.E. Central Lesson Plan: Spell Race
Purpose of Activity:To have students work on their spelling skills and word recognition skills.
Suggested Grade Level:2nd and Up
Materials Needed:6 hula hoops and approximately 35-40 frisbees or cardboard pieces; Physical activity: Locomotor Skills
Lesson Plan:Description of Idea
Ask classroom teachers in advance for a list of their upcoming spelling words. Take an erasable marker (if using frisbees) or just mark one side of a piece of cardboard with letters (one letter on each piece) and scatter the pieces/frisbees around the playing area.
Divide class into 6 equal teams (usually 4-5 on a team) and have them sit in squad formation behind a hula hoop at one end of the gymnasium. Write one of the spelling words for that grade level on the blackboard or on a large piece of poster board that you can hold up.
On the teachers signal, the 1st person from each team runs out and picks up one of the frisbees/cardboard. If the letter on the reverse side can be used to spell the word, the student runs back with it and places it in front of the hoop. The student then tags the next person's hand and he/she does the same. If a frizbee/card cannot be use, it is returned to the same spot and that child runs back and tags the next person's hand. The team that successfully spells the word earns a point. The first team to a certain number of points wins.
Use different locomotor movements (i.e., skipping, sliding, grapevining, hopping, crab crawl, bear walk, etc.) to get to the frisbees with the letter on it.
To downplay the "winners" change the teams after two games.
To incorporate math place numbers under the frizbees or cardboard pieces. Place a math problem on the board (grade appropiate) and the students have to obtain the correct answer by adding together their cards/frisbees.

Resonate Church Discipleship Process
Resonate Church takes seriously the call of Jesus to make disciples. In fact, the health of this church is dependent on making disciples now that will lead and make disciples themselves in the very near future. We view discipleship as a maturing process much like that of human development. New babies have a lot of needs and require more input. Children have the basics figured out and now they need to learn what to do with it all, where they fit into the big picture and what they're made for. Young Adults are beginning to experiment with and implement what they know and are actively engaged in the lives of infants and children. Adults constantly have others in mind and are seeking the maturation of others younger than themselves.
The material and resources below are designed to be used in personal ongoing discipleship relationships to help guide followers of Jesus in every stage along the way.

Andrew Wakefield: Disgraced, Unethical and An Outright LiarJanuary 28th, 2010
We've reported before over the professional disgrace of Andrew Wakefield. Wakefield is one of the worst cases of everything a researcher and a physician should not be. With complete disregard for the safety and welfare of others and his own professional obligations Doctor Mister Wakefield has not simply cherry-picked or spun data in favor of his claims: he just plain lied. Let me make this clear again: he didn't take improper measurements or use the data in an improper way, he simply made up facts that were not true. And if that's not bad enough he did it in regards to a matter of extreme consequence to public health and to the state of medical research.
Sadly, he's gotten quite a lot of support and many have even seen his disgrace by British and other national medical bodies as more proof that he's being persecuted by a big conspiracy.
No surprise, the GMC (General Medical Council) – the British body responsible for investigating things of this nature has returned its verdict: guilty of professional misconduct, violations of ethics and other infractions against professional standards.
Doctor in disgrace
The consultant who sparked the MMR vaccine scare now faces being struck off
The descent into professional disgrace of Andrew Wakefield is now almost complete. The doctor who fanned an unwarranted panic by suggesting a link between the three-in-one measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism — prompting a fall in vaccination rates that spawned a startling rise in cases of measles — was condemned yesterday by the General Medical Council for acting ishonestly and irresponsibly in conducting his research. He now faces the possibility of being struck off the medical register.
Nobody can doubt the GMC's diligence. After conducting hearings over a period of two and a half years, it ruled that Wakefield had carried out invasive and unnecessary tests on children that were against their best clinical interests: he paid children for blood samples at his son's birthday party, acting, said the GMC, "with callous disregard for the suffering of children.
The Lancet long ago regretted having published Wakefield's initial study 12 years ago. No respected research has ever supported the findings that led Wakefield to brand his studies a moral issue that made him unable to support the continued use of the MMR jab. Indeed, a landmark study in Japan found that, on using single vaccines instead of the MMR, the number of diagnosed cases of autism actually rose sharply.
Just to be clear on one thing here: this article implies that changing from the single-shot MMR vaccine to multiple vaccines, one for each of the conditions covered was associated with a rise in autism. Less someone twists that to make it sound like there's a relationship between more vaccinations and autism, I should point out that there's no evidence that there is any connection between vaccination and autism at all. More likely this was simply part of the general trend of more autism diagnoses which has been attributed to greater screening and more broad diagnostic criteria than may have been used in years past.
As for Wakefield himself, he no longer lives in the UK, having moved to the US. The fact that he is no longer able to practice medicine in the UK is largely moot, as he is no longer in any way acting as a true physician. Rather, he's managed to carve out a lucrative niche for himself as a spokesperson for various lies and a public figure who makes money by promoting various quack practices and products. He's more of a professional liar than a doctor at this point.
Sadly the verdict by the GMC is little more than symbolic. Wakefield's credibility and respectability in the medical community evaporated years ago and the verdict does not not impose any legal penalties, like a criminal court would. Thus Wakefield remains a free man to spread his nonsense. If nothing else, this should highlight the need for greater legal accountability for those who lie on scientific papers and studies. While science thrives on openness and freedom, this should not include clear-cut cases of outright lies, presented as fact and causing direct harm to scientific research and the greater public good as a direct consequence. Such lies are very rare in professional scientific research, but when they do occur, they are appalling.

An appeal to Steve for unbanning Filo V
Ok Steve so this young guy got banned... He believed in something and was fighting for his good cause... Got over the top sometimes to serve his cause... Dedication like this should be rewarded, not punished... Safin rules likes him too, he's your friend right???? Although "friend" has a different meaning here...
Don't let the overcompensating professionalism of Scoobs destroy this place....
Re: An appeal to Steve for unbanning Filo V
If you heart is in the right place and you knowingly break the rules its still breaking the rules. You are saying we should reward this user because they show passion? Passion for what? disruptive behavior like this is not positive and reinforcing this behavior only gives them the green light to keep going. Filo ran out of chances, its simple.
Re: An appeal to Steve for unbanning Filo V
Re: An appeal to Steve for unbanning Filo V
The moderation staff made a call. If they felt the outcome should have been different it would have been however the call was made and you trying to circumvent the issue by asking me to change this does not change my mind. After reviewing the multiple infractions that happened one after another its clear that this user was not interested in anything but being a distraction. There was nothing positive about what transpired.
Re: An appeal to Steve for unbanning Filo V
The guy contributed nothing to this forum other than negativity and instigating arguments. I've been here for years and I haven't seen another person more over the top in insulting the masses than him. Permabanning him was the right decision and I think the majority of the forum would agree with it.

Play With Art
Thu Sep 12 - Sun Oct 20
Terrace Gallery
We will have special hours Thu Sep 12-Sun Oct 20 during Andy Warhol: Silver Clouds. Please click here to see our hours.
One hundred and fifty of Andy Warhol's mesmerizing Silver Clouds are floating towards the Washington, DC region for the first time and will land at Artisphere in Arlington in September of this year. This uplifting installation defies the traditional perceived constrictions of art as the Silver Clouds interact with the viewer and each other, inviting response and igniting a sense of wonder. One of the largest installations of Silver Clouds ever done on the East Coast, the exhibition is on loan from The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and on view with permission of the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts.
First exhibited in 1966 at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York, Silver Clouds has at its origin, the then groundbreaking intersection of art and technology. In 1964, artist Andy Warhol reached out to Bell Labs electrical engineer Billy Klüver:
"At the 47th Street factory, Andy Warhol asked me for a floating light bulb. My colleague at Bell Laboratories found a material called Scotchpak, which was relatively impermeable to helium and could be heat-sealed. When I brought this material to Andy, he decided to make clouds, and while we were figuring out how to heat-seal curves, he simply folded the material over and made these Silver Clouds." – Billy Klüver, The Story of E.A.T. Experiments in Art and Technology, 1960–2001 [1]
Klüver founded Experiments in Art and Technology, or E.A.T. – an early forum for bringing artists and scientists together. This connection between creativity and innovation is at the core of Silver Clouds' origins and central to Artisphere's focus on connecting audiences to artists at the forefront of utilizing new technologies in their work. Please note: At the public opening reception on Thu Sep 12, a photographer will be capturing the evening for Artisphere's use in outreach to the media and on social media. If you attend and do not want your photo taken or used, please let the photographer or an Artisphere staff member.

Men's Basketball Defeats Defending Champions 62-60
GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Ohio Christian enjoyed a landmark victory on Saturday afternoon, knocking off the defending NCCAA Champions and #1 ranked Grace Bible College. The win came less than 24 hours after OCU had defeated #3 ranked Kuyper College.
OCU came out with a quick start and took a 25-20 lead with 5 minutes remaining in the first half. Grace responded like a champion with a 16-4 run to close the half and take a 36-29 lead heading into halftime.
Ohio Christian stormed back in the 2nd half to pull within two points at the ten minute mark. OCU rallied and built a 4 point lead with 3 minutes remaining, capped off by a Wesley Russell to Kenny Cooper alley-oop dunk in transition.
Grace came back to within two points at 62-60 and had the ball under the basket with 1 second remaining. The Tigers inbounded the ball and shot a fadeaway jumper from 18 feet that was well off the mark as the final horn sounded.
The Trailblazers were presented the tournament championship trophy following the game and Wesley Russell and Devyn Benson were selected to the All-Tournament Team.
OCU moves to 3-1 on the season and will open up at home on Tuesday night against NAIA #4 ranked Indiana Wesleyan.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
LONDON, Nov. 28, 2011 The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff arrived here today for meetings with senior British government officials.
Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey also will deliver the Colin Cramphorn Memorial Lecture, sponsored by the Policy Exchange. Cramphorn was the chief constable of the West Yorkshire Police from 2002 until he died in 2006.
The lecture series has featured British and American leaders, including Marine Corps Gen. James N. Mattis, commander of U.S. Central Command, and retired Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, now director of the CIA.
While in London, Dempsey will meet with British Prime Minister David Cameron, Defense Secretary Philip Hammond, and his counterpart, British Army Gen. Sir David Richards, chief of the Defense Staff. Richards commanded International Security Assistance Force troops in southern Afghanistan and has commanded rapid-reaction forces in Sierra Leone and East Timor. He is the highest-ranking officer in the British military.
Dempsey also will meet with the British service chiefs.
Tomorrow, the chairman will speak at a Royal United Services Institute program on women in defense and security leadership.
Article is closed to new comments.
The opinions expressed in the following comments do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Department of Defense.
Well, it looks like Gen.Dempsey has a plate full to discuss with our friends from the other side of the pond. What a mess, from what I can tell, in the AfPak snafu. It'll be interesting to see what the man has to say.

PYRAMID LAKE, NV - The Washoe County Sheriff's Office reports a man and boy were successfully rescued on Pyramid Lake Friday evening.
Sgt. Bill Devine says wind picked up on the lake and pushed a boy, who was on a boat, away from a man who was on a different boat. The adult called 911 for assistance.
Neither of the boats had a working motor.
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office was called in to help, but before they could arrive, rangers from Pyramid Lake got in a boat and rescued both the boy and the man.
No one was hurt in the incident.
Sgt. Devine warns people to be careful as they head out to enjoy the lake this spring and summer. Winds and pick up quickly and people can get blown far away from the shore.

Instashare (http://instashareapp.com) works great for transferring files between IOS and Mac devices. Goodreader on IOS devices helps in file management too.
Is AirDrop in iOS 7 lacking without integration with AirDrop for Mac? [Poll]
AirDrop is coming to the iPhone and iPad finally with iOS 7, but at least for now, it doesn't integrate with AirDrop for the Mac. So, is it lacking something without this? AirDrop on Mac is something I use all the time on my own machines to throw stuff between them, and I'm pretty happy with how it works. AirDrop on iOS 7 sounds like the same exact great system, but limited to use between iOS devices. That's great, and all, but wouldn't it be even better if you could AirDrop things from your iPhone over to your Mac?
I'm firmly in the 'yes' camp on this one. When the rumors first emerged that AirDrop would be a part of iOS 7, my first question was; "will it let me send stuff to my Mac?" The problem with moving things to and from an iOS device with a Mac is still iTunes. You still have to be connected – even wirelessly – to iTunes to move things across. Getting files to and from apps is more involved than it really should be, and even though iCloud takes away some of the pain, it doesn't let you have the actual files.
OK, so a large number of iOS users also use a Windows PC, or a Linux box, or a Chromebook, and so they're not likely interested in this at all. But, AirDrop is an Apple thing. Sure, it's wireless transfer at the end of the day, but Apple doesn't need to worry about making it work with anything other than the Mac. So, why not? What do you guys think? Happy enough just sending things between iOS devices, or like me, do you long for something more? Sound off in the comments below!

Is AirDrop in iOS 7 lacking without integration with AirDrop for Mac? [Poll]
I honestly through Airdrop for iPhone supports Mac too. If not what's the point. Truth is I rather bump phones.....
To be really honest I'd rather they used bluetooth & NFC like every other phone =P
I don't see the point in having AirDrop unless they make this something that Android, BlackBerry & Windows Phones can also use, not everyone has an iPhone & it'll be much better to be able to transfer files to other devices that is multiplatform instead of having features that only benefit other iOS users...same with iMessage.
Sure there are alternatives like Facebook, WhatsApp, E-Mail etc but pictures do loose quality when uploaded to these services as they are compressed =/
Don't get me wrong I love the idea with AirDrop it is brilliant if the other OS's can do it too; I'm not sure on the technical side of how AirDrop works all I know is that it works via an Ad-Hoc network but in terms of security & authentication not a clue therefore I'm not sure if this is something that can be universal.
What I'm getting at is about being multiplatform not what is a better standard; the more universal a feature is the better it is for the customer at the moment Bluetooth is the most universal, I didn't say it was perfect =)
AirDrop for iOS does actually use Bluetooth rather than wifi like it does for Macs. Was confused seeing the bluetooth icon light up whenever I turned it on.
Sincerely hope this is something that's in the pipeline. I rarely want to send anything to other peoples phones, but want stuff from my phone on to my Mac several times a day.
Without Mac and other device Support Airdrop is an annoying way to MMS iPhone to iPhone. Dropbox is this king.
It baffles me, the way Apple designs software; Considering the amount of thought that goes into their hardware design and product placement.
Even simple concepts like ring tones took ages to implement let alone the iCloud - which is a beast and then there was the mapping debacle.
Somewhere there's isolation between idea construct and actual implementation.
Ironically, for a company so capable and focussed on simplicity, it seems to miss out on simple things...
Maybe Airdrop will come to Mac but seriously why not plan it ground up to begin with. After all it's one family !

iPad 2 doesn't support airdrop at all. iOS7 doesn't support 3GS. It's like Apple got jealous of androids fragmentation. It would make sense if iOS 7 was too much for the 3GS to handle but everything runs faster and smoother on a 3GS compared to the 4 due to its weak graphics processor not handling retina very well. As for airdrop on iPad 2, is there any excuse? Other than they want you to upgrade? If that's the only reason they'll be happy to know it worked... bastards :)
Anything other then a iPad 4, iPad mini, or iPhone 5 will not support airdrop due to hardware limitation. These devices have a different wireless chip. Also the dropping of the 3GS is just Apple getting rid of the last non retina iPhone.

Yeah and I don't know many companies that would still support a device as old as the 3GS. Buy the time iOS 7 drops (and assuming it drops with the latest gen iPhone) that will be four years and four generations of devices still supported. Not trying to turn this to android bashing party but you are lucky to buy a droid and still have it supported with new OS's after a year. And RIM hasn't done it since OS 5! I think it's awesome that any company that still does it nowadays, especially with mobile devices. Some features will always be left out for older devices but if you own an iPhone 4 and can still get over 90% of iOS 7 goodness, take it and run. 3GS owners: it might be time time to piss on the fire and call it a night.

We must have different definitions of fragmentation.
A 2 year old iPad and a 4 year old iPhone not getting brand new feature is *not* what I'd consider fragmentation.
On the other hand... a brand new Android phone that ships with last year's OS and will never go beyond that *is* what I'd call fragmentation.
Does the iPad 2 have a wifi direct chipset? No. Does the iPhone 3GS have a good processor? no. Sorry but shut up about stuff you don't know about.
"I was literally shocked when I was playing with the feature..."
Ouch. Short in the charger's cord?
Dropbox is great if you want to view files from your mac on your IOS device. Less so the other way around, as I find it a pain to move files from apps into dropbox (seems to be no direct way).
I wonder how airdrop from mac might work. Say I airdrop a pdf from my imac to my iPhone. A window pops up asking me which app I want to open it in?
I, like others here, am surprised to learn Airdrop will not work with my Mac. I thought that was the point of the feature. I can use iMessage to share most anything is want to with another iPhone. If that feature is going to be mobile to mobile only, does it need to be included in the OS or is it best to leave it to an app to handle? I hope Apple adds this to a later build.
It needs to be cross platform. Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS. If Google can do it, then so can Apple.
You think Airdrop is only for photo sharing? :head desk:
Im pretty sure you dont know what "Airdrop" is, right?
a social site
a photosharing
a Cloud storage
NO, i facepalmed when you said your words XD
Airdrop is for transferring files,
Maybe ou thought airdrop was like " ooh im gonna put a photo in airdrop and it will post to facebook, DHUYGHUEIGHEUGHE"
and im also assuming you have never owned a mac
I don't have a Mac, so this functionality would not apply to me, but if they made it cross platform and perhaps integrated it with the iCloud app already available on Windows PCs or even a new standalone app it sounds like I'd love it. I'm waiting patiently for Windows versions of FaceTime and iMessage as is. On the one hand at least they have photo stream integration through the iCloud app, but I'm just not a fan of the desktop Mac OS as compared to Windows, not to mention a lot of games are not Mac compatible and there's no Blu Ray support in addition to the fact Macs are expensive and prohibitive of both custom configurations and AMD CPUs, both of which I enjoy on my Windows box. In short, Apple, I love iOS and you're going to get all kinds of money from me through that so how about some more cross platform "ice water in hell" for those of us die hard users of both the most popular smartphone platform and the most popular desktop one? Trust me, by holding out you're not going to get another desktop convert anytime soon but you'll have at least one very disappointed loyal iOS enthusiast.

Even if you couldn't do the wifi direct part of AirDrop, I don't see why you couldn't have similar capabilities (to share data) over a shared wifi network.
The technical implementation should be hidden from the user, of course, but they should see compatible devices on the local network and be able to drag and drop data to them.
As another poster suggested, "Instashare"is pretty good for this in the meantime, but I would like to see a system-level solution.
It's things like this that make me furious at Apple. Their whole mantra is "knowing when to say no". Why would you bring AirDrop to iOS and NOT have it support the Mac as well? What possible reason is there to limit it to ONLY iOS? Of course it should work across ALL of your Apple devices....IT SHOULD JUST WORK!!! Not supporting AirDrop from iOS to the Mac is just lame.
I would say yes also, and I've been reading reviews of AirDrop avidly since it was first announced at the WWDC and this is the first time I've found anyone who actually confirms this in a factual way, so I think that most folks out there are unaware of this fact.
Once iOS 7 is out and people realise that it doesn't work with your Mac, I think there will be significant disappointment as the assumption would be that it would. I know quite a few people that were counting on this feature as a way to solve the file transfer problem, because it's really the biggest problem with mass deployment of iOS devices.
Apple does this every year, leave out essential items then add them the following year, innovative, not so much, smart, from a business stand point of course. It bugs me, like adding MMS years later when I had it on my cheap Nextel years ago. Adding only .5" on the screen, just now adding "Mark all as read on email", I can keep going. I've stuck by apple bcus they standardize the industry and they're product just work but nowadays when a app releases I get people asking is there an android app, they've caught up and apple isn't doing enough...

Strangely, Airdrop for iOS uses Bluetooth while Airdrop for Mac uses wifi. Its good that iOS supports Bluetooth because its lower power, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't just use wifi as well to communicate with the Mac. Further, Bluetooth has standards and we *should* be able to send contacts, notes, photos, etc. to a Windows PC or Android or Blackberry device. We're all iOS here, so I can't test it with another phone.
I found this article while searching for the final solution to share things from my iPad to the Mac and now I find out that it is not compatible with each other. Bitch please, I'm a little dissapointed, bitten apple!
Same here, I was trying to find out why I couldn't get it to work thinking I was doing something stupid, then I find out it's not compatible... Maybe this will change when they release Mavericks sometime next month. It would be great if I was able to share anything from my iPad Mini / iPhone 5 and MacBook Pro without having to send an iMessage, or email or use a 3rd party app.
I'm a big DropBox fan, considering the size of the files I need to fling about. It's a surprisingly elegant solution to the significant constraints of Apple's implementation of iCloud. But I have to note, as a chap chained to a workstation most of the day, that it's a clear indication that iOS is Apple's priority, not desktop computing. But I can't do prepress or serious webslinging on iOS... at ALL. Still, I would not be surprised to see the feature turn up in OS X Mavericks, it would certainly be welcome. But who knows what the thinking - or priorities - might be deep in the depths of Apple's corporate citadel? As a professional creative and Mac Pro user... been burned and snubbed more than a bit by Apple's iOS and Consumer focus the past decade.
Having AirDrop integration would be fantastic! As it is, I use iCloud to move stuff to my Mac computers which isn't too bad. However, privacy is an issue for some people who don't want to store data in the cloud, so having AirDrop would resolve that little issue.
yep! pretty much sucks!. I was trying to send some wallpapers i downloaded on my macbook to my iphone via airdrop but then realized, they are not compatible. bummer!
I use Apple products since 1984. My first mac run under MacOS 6.0.3. I've always shared files via file sharing. I see no point in AirDrop. Unless two laptop users need to transfer files in a place where they're not connected to a network. I am sending files, urls etc all the time to my other macs, i have an alias for each of theirs desktops on mine. The only point would be MacOS <-> iOS integration.


text: Social media continues to change our lives in myriad unexpected ways. Survival may not be the first application that comes to mind when you think of Twitter or Facebook, but the truth is that these and other social media outlets can make a big difference in disasters. For instance, during Japan's 2011 nuclear disaster, 20,000 tweets were sent per second. Likewise, in its 2013 National Preparedness Report, FEMA reported that "users sent more than 20 million Sandy-related Twitter posts, or "tweets," despite the loss of cell phone service during the peak of the storm." Social media sites help bridge communication gaps when cell phone service isn't available. And these services are shifting disaster management from a one-way affair, with officials broadcasting announcements, to a conversation between disaster survivors, emergency agencies, and people all over the country.

Love & Hip-Hop: Our Favorite Current And Past Hip-Hop Couples- By Bossip Staff Categories: Coupled Up, matrimony-dom, News
It doesn't happen very often: but every once in a while rappers fall in love. And sometimes, the love lasts more than one night. And when they do, they create the kind of epic romances William Shakespeare could have never come up with. Of course that is a major exaggeration. But Hip-Hop has given us a few couples we've loved to watch and and a couple we would love to see back together. Check them out...
LL Cool J and Simone - Despite LL's bad boy/sex symbol/slightly suspect persona, Simone has been around since day one. The two have 5 kids together and are constantly seen supporting each other. He's at her jewelry shows, she's on the red carpet. They don't feed into any scandals. And they don't show any signs of stopping.
Rev Run and Justine Simmons - In an age of ratchetry being the norm on reality TV, these two finally proved that families like "the Huxtables" really did exist in the real world. In addition having a relationship that seems as real and as stable as it gets, they've also managed to raise kids that have yet to wild all the way out and embarrass all of Hip-Hop with their shenanigans... unless you count JoJo's rap career.
Ice-T and Coco - What Ice and Mrs. T have that most celebrity couples never figure out is that what the rest of the world thinks about your situation doesn't matter. You may not understand how these two ended up together or how they stay together even with Coco's a** and t***ies all over the web at least once a week.
Snoop Dogg And Shante - High school sweethearts Snoop and Shante have been through their fair share of foolishness and hood sh*t. But through it all, Shante has remained Snoop's rock, the person that reminds him that he is a man, husband and father before anything. And you know it takes a special woman to stand by that "all I do is smoke weed and f*** b****" Snoop pretends to be professionally.
Will and Jada - yes, their situation seems a little shakier than it used to. And we've always felt that whole "open relationship" situation was worthy of a side-eye. But, considering the amount of effort they've been putting into rumor control, maybe they really did mean it when they said divorce was not an option.
Beyonce and Jay-Z - There's no denying that the Knowles-Carters are certified Hip-Hop royalty. They've managed to keep their relationship super private for years, with the exception of a couple of subliminal shout outs in their songs and the occasional photo. Now, they've even managed to change the hood's aspirations with their little prince or princess-to-be. Having kids after you get married is what's good now.
Nas and Kelis - We still don't know what went wrong. But these two fractured individuals and their all-green-everything wedding and "N-words on our red carpet outfits" seemed like they had the right balance of crazy to keep it together forever. Which is why we're not really convinced they won't get back together either...
T.I. and Tiny - Man, if these two aren't just the high end version of everyone's favorite ghetto cousins. They met at the mall, they each brought outside kids into the situation, they've had sex at a prison. They are the epitome of hood fabulosity.
Common and Erykah Badu - Why, out of all of Erykah's conquered rappers, did we choose Common? Well, really it was because there are absolutely no pics of Erykah and Andre 3000 to be found on these interwebs. But Common and Erykah had the alternate universe version of the relationship Erykah and Andre had. They were all types of granola and patchouli, but in a way that didn't seem forced at all. They seemed like the best fit ever. Until...
Common and Serena - Now these two had the complete opposite relationship as Common and Erykah. Between pics of them surfing, running errands, and taking phone calls while mean-muggin' the camera, Common and Serena were the most normal, down-to-earth Hip-Hop couple we've ever seen be so public. We think that's Common's future wife on the low. Watch.
Jim Jones and Chrissy - These two are really the only reason VH1's "Love and Hip-Hop" exists. They are like the anti-Jayonce, the couple that would be celebrities on their block even if Jimmy wasn't a rapper. And despite everything Mama Jones might want to believe, Chrissy ain't going NOWHERE. And we love it.
Joe Budden and Tahiry - He "made her" a celebrity, and the dysfunction that ensued after their five year relationship ended has pretty much eclipsed everything else in Joe Budden's career. But they still love each other. We know this because he planks outside of her house and she has yet to file a restraining order, despite all their threats. We see a wedding in 2012 for these two. Watch.
Angela Simmons and Bow Wow - Shad and Angela are like something out of a Hip-Hop fairytale: he's the former young prince of Hip-Hop, she's the daughter of one of Hip-Hop's greatest pioneers. They look better together than Bow Wow ever did standing next to Ciara's glamazon a**. They fell in love at an age where they very well could have morphed their puppy love into a full on adult romance. And now after a year of Bow Wow sowing wild oats (and making babies), and Angela exploring what else the world has to offer her closed legs, it looks like Shad and Angela might make it to "Happily Ever After" after all.
Nelly And Ashanti - We know these two swear they're "just really close friends"... but they've been singing that song for at least 6 years now, with no other significant others in the mix. Ever. We're ready for Ashanti to pull a Beyonce and show up on somebody's red carpet with a ring or a bump already.
Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose - remember that weird goth couple in High School that was always together and never seemed to talk to anyone else? You would watch them make out at lunch and be a little grossed out, but still unable to turn away. You knew that at least one of their parents were never home and that these two lived a much more grown up life than any other high school kids and would be married before their senior year was over and actually stay together for life? That's what Wiz and Amber represent to Hip-Hop... And who can really knock them for that?

Winter Solstice 2011
As I sit here this evening I'm pondering on events that give meaning to our lives. Today is one of those that has been lost in our country to most, The Winter Solstice. Solstices mark transitions. Now we transit from the long dark into the renewal of spring……ck out this site for great info on the history of the winter solstice: http://www.brownielocks.com/wintersolstice.html
Now is the time to look back over 2011 and see where you have come. What has left your life to make room for the new? Prepare to welcome in the new and potentially brighter year with fresh opportunity for anything you want in your life. It is a very powerful time to perform a meaningful ritual. I have had some of the most powerful spiritual experiences practicing ritual at the solstices.
I've just completed a great one. I wrote down on two separate pieces of paper what I want to let go of in 2012 and what I want to come in. I went out into the woods behind my house, breathed in that crisp air, burned the pages, breathed in relief and hope and fresh air and felt completely renewed! I kept a copy and put it in my astro ephemeris for 2012. It's good to look back and see what you have accomplished. And amazing how accurate these little letting goes and inviting ins are!
May your 2012 be more than you hoped for and may the energies flow through you peacefully with grace and ease.

Checking In……………
I've been caught up in the daily grind and trying to figure out where to go from here. I love the celebratory feel and expression from Thanksgiving thru New Years, but I always get a little lost in the activities and planning. As I perused my early morning web sites I found this tidbit perfect for what I needed to ground this morning. Thank you Robert Wilkinson for a wonderful website of wisdom: www.aquariuspapers.com
1. All forms pass away.
So don't get too uptight at the changes. Don't get too attached to suffering the difficulties, and don't get too attached to the enjoyment of pleasures. Both the problems and the enjoyments will pass, so chill out and don't take any of it too personally. Live life to the fullest while not getting stuck by clinging to habits in thought, feeling, or action that lead to suffering.
2. The Golden Rule works.
Also known as, "What goes around, comes around." Even though we may not see the larger workings of the eternal law of cause and effect, it's there if you take a wide enough point of view. A logical corollary of this truth is that as one acts, feels, thinks, and aspires, one creates the tendencies for these to manifest in the future.
We just usually have such short attention spans that we don't see the bigger picture of the cause-and-effect cycles of our lives. Still, the Law works in mysterious ways whether we perceive it or not, and if this second Truth actually works for all of us, then it is easy to see that the third Truth is…
3. Love is the way.
Since Truth number one is inevitable in our dualistic impermanent system, and Truth number two is an expression of the "karmic law" governing the field of sensory manifestation and creating patterns that persist through space and time, then this third Truth, to embrace, learn, and BE Love, is the only sane way to live.No comments

I was mistaken on my info. Cummins made engines for fords bigger trucks. Also I can't argue with that the 6.0 was awful luckily I have the 7.3 which is a great engine. I've heard that the 6.7's they have in their newer models aren't bad.

Cummins has their hands in a lot of projects. I like the 5.9 way more than the 6.7 for its modding capabilities and it's a proven workhorse. As for the 7.3, that is a bulletproof engine. I'm not a Ford guy but I would recommend a 7.3 to anyone.

I work for my dad and have to drive diesels so I've driven fords, chevys, dodges, and gms. We have an 09 GMC Seirra 2500HD and a 01 f250 superduty (which is actually mine). Both are good trucks but my f250 is tough as nails.

They're so easy to work on too which makes them even better. My f250 has the 7.3L in it and I haven't come across a trailer it can't pull. My family has a 6 horse trailer and they've used my truck to pull it. Works like a charm.

did you see the race on top gear the other week where Hampster used a dodge?

Nah, I don't watch too much tv. They do make well built/affordable cars but I can't give too much of an opinion, but their trucks suck (apart from the cummins).
