Great question! Although I spent most of my years as an English teacher, I did spend two years as a 9th grade coach of math and English teachers, so I saw firsthand the issue you are describing.
I think it's a language issue, rather than a math issue. In other words, the student has difficulty seeing math as a language.
To help this type of student, I would check first to make sure there is no disability--if there is, it could be a processing issue that requires some intervention that a special education resource teacher might be able to help you devise.
If there is not a special education situation, I would still borrow a page from the special ed. teacher's handbook and provide this student with a "word bank" of sorts: a vocabulary list of the math words, with the definition being the symbol. For example, "greater than": >
I'd let the student use the word bank as much as s/he needs in order to build confidence. Flash cards are helpful also.
When the student has built a strong math vocabulary, word problems become less of a problem!
That is exactly what I proposed in my project. One of the reasons was languages issues, but not inly for special needs but also for non-english speakers. In this case awe could use help from the ESL teacher to incorporate math vocabulary in her class.
It is actually an action project but no results were actually obtained so I do not really know if these techniques would work or not.
I agree with the above post regarding Math as a language. Since the calculator revolution, I find students have a more difficult time visualizing and therefore using the language of mathematics. Story problems are an attempt to bridge that gap and force them to visualize the math they are working with, but 1) we don't really try to teach them how to reason through such problems, and 2) students are just looking for the right answer, not the correct route to get there.
I think we should require them to generate a graphic that illustrates the math from each problem. That is, in addition to just showing their work, they should be able to translate the problem into a visual aid that shows they know the language.
Most of the students I have helped with Math have also been really low readers. I think that some of them are so intimidated by the fact that not only do they have to figure out how to do the math they also have to deal with reading and comprehending, which is something they cannot do very well to begin with.
All of the above posters are correct. There is one more thing to try, which isn't a specific technique, but more of an incentive. I teach a high school math class for kids who have REALLY been struggling with math. I try to use word problems that they will actually use in their lives, and I tell them I do not want them cheated out of their money. If they don't know how to figure out how much of something they will need, and how to figure out how much they should be charged, they may very well be cheated.
Language , project , practicals , playing , practice and above all an interest are the criteria for any subject. Word problems were there as quizes long ago which a friend or a teacher poses to a group of interested people, to develop the interest and curiosity. I believe a fine befitting style of language which excites curiosity and interest is a solution. Bhaskaracharya was great mathematician who used interesting poetical format for algebraic problems to make it more interesting to the youg mind. But of course this alone cannot be a general solution. The individual level treatment may be better.
The best way to teach them is to make them connected to the lives of the students. If the students can grasp the ideas and make them work for them and give them much needed knowledge, then so much the better. Students should be able to connect to them in their own daily lives.
I think the best way to teach word problems really depends on the learning style of the student. One student may learn word problems very easily when taught one way, while another may be totally confused. The key is really finding out how to make the word problem relevant to the individual student.
I agree with post #2. I always had trouble with word problems, though my reading scores were through the roof. It was a panic-stricken young me who attempted a reading problem test. It was very difficult to see the language in terms of the abstract math issue, and then to have to set up the equation? Impossible. Of course, as I have gotten older and more sure of myself, the difficulty has lessened, but as an adolescent, I felt that I would die a horrible math death.
I respond as someone who does not teach math and who is dyslexic. Numbers do not appear in my head the same way they are displayed on a page. I transpose them (3 and 5, 6 and 8, etc.), do weird things when I try to calculate them, etc. It's a visual problem; I do not view them in my head the same way they are viewed on the page and I then sometimes do weird things with them when trying to do calculations. When I am very tired, I also have trouble with words - the word is in my head but I cannot get it to come out of my mouth because I cannot visualize it; I cannot see the word in my brain. And I constantly reverse numbers (& words), so that I have to write some things down and or will them backwards every time. Funny thing is, if I've written it down, I often don't have to look at it later.
I think this is part of why word-based math problems have always been so difficult for me and why my math scores on standardized tests were always so low. Then one day I discovered a DOS-based computer game called Sherlock. It was the same word-based math problem you see in magazines all the time. A couple hosts a party for 5 other couples who all arrive in different color cars, bring a different food item, etc. You have to solve the problem of which couples are a couple, drove in what car, etc. Only in Sherlock, it's houses, people, road signs, foods, letters, etc. Oh, and most importantly, there are 6,999 iterations of this game. The clues are tiles which, when together, mean two items must be side-by-side, or a triple tile that means one item must be between two other items (or cannot be between them if it's got the circle around it), and so on. By process of elimination, you can solve the puzzle.
By the time I took my GRE (Graduate Record Exam), I had played over 4,000 iterations. When the dreaded math questions came, I quickly realized that some of them were Sherlock in a new skin. I grabbed some scrap paper and start drawing tiles. A number of the questions were about tree nursery plantings. The pine trees couldn't be planted next to that type of tree, etc. I got through these questions fairly quickly and continued converting these word-based math questions into visual tiles throughout the exam. I ended up with the highest math scores I've ever received in my life.
Now, I still have one roadblock in Algebra 3; I get to one point and cannot visualize the problem well enough to grasp the concepts, so I never get beyond that point. But for most other match problems and issues, I have found that if I can find a way to visualize it, I can solve it.
The key is to help the student find a way to unlock what is blocking them. Do they need to see it graphically so they can then express it in words? Do they need to learn how to take simple math problems first and write them out in words? Will their success in that, and lots and lots of practice, help them move to doing them more complex problems?
I think continued variety will help you get more students able to succeed. Use every "trick" you can think of because that next one you try might just be the key to unlocking someone's barrier!
Something I left out of my earlier post on this topic--draw pictures! If they are buying 3 shirts at $20 a piece, and 2 jackets at $50 each, have them make symbols with each. If they are trying to "buy" carpet for an irregularly shaped area, draw it! I never would have made it through Physics without drawing pictures of what the problems were about....silly cannons.
All of the above posters are correct. There is one more thing to try, which isn't a specific technique, but more of an incentive. I teach a high school math class for kids who have REALLY been struggling with math. I try to use word problems that they will actually use in their lives, and I tell them I do not want them cheated out of their money. If they don't know how to figure out how much of something they will need, and how to figure out how much they should be charged, they may very well be cheated.
I agree with your response. Kids today want to know how they are going to use everything they are learning. Word problems are the one thing that most of my students have trouble with. You must develop a math vocabulary using keywords common to math. Our Math team has developed a keywords list for our kids to use. For instance if they see the words more than, less than, faster than, slower than, bigger than, smaller than or any words that compare two things they then know they should subtract the two values. If they see the words each, a or per in the question part of the problem they will divide if those words appear in the story part of the problem they will multiply. Vocabulary is very important in solving word problems and students need to be taught these very important math words in order to be able to be successful in solving word problems.
I think the majority of us can sympathise with #10 and the dying a horrible math death! I agree with a number of editors who stress the need to use practical real life examples in math problems and questions. I also agree that creating flashcards or a crib sheet of how mathematical signs and symbols are translated can be really useful. Clearly though what is needed is lots of practice of questions that are carefully modelled by the teacher first and then given over for the students to complete which are carefully reviewed.
I agree with several of the previous posts. Vocabulary is vital, pictures are useful, and modeling and practice are a necessity. The last few years I have been using the "TIPS" strategy with my students, and have found it to be quite helpful as well.
If you are unfamiliar with "TIPS", is is a constructed response strategy that analyzes word problems to identify Thought (which operation is called for), Information (numbers to be used), Plan (the combination of the first two pieces to form an equation), and Solution (in sentence form).
This strategy involves quite a bit of teacher modeling and whole group practice initially, but after a few months the students generally have it down pretty well. What really sold me is the fact that I have seen a definite improvement on the problem solving portion of standardized tests since I have started using "TIPS" in my classroom.
in my view math word problems should be put forward not in that language as in the problem but to first explain it in a layman's languages.Secondly thse type of sums should be practised again and again giving more and more examples with the same language with different data.
I never had any issues with word problems, and I am not afraid of them. My lack of fear is probably my most important skill, I first learned to take word phrases and turn them into expressions and then connect the expressions into equations. There is a Spark outline on word problems that shows this method. I am not sure if this is the way word problems are taught in grade school, but it still serves me well. Now I understand these are simple word problems, but the ease with which they can be learned probably gave me confidence in doing more difficult ones. The sparks outline also give several methods to use in solving more difficult word problems. While not all problems can be solved using these methods, it does build confidence. In more difficult word problems that occur, for example, in Physics, if I do not understand the problem, I first make a drawing, and start writing out any equations that come from the diagram. Tables are also sometimes useful in solving some problems. I also need to write out what I am supposed to find, which is generally the last sentence of the problem. After this, I start looking for ways to find the answer. One thing that always gives me confidence is that the word problems in math or physics books have answers, something that is not always true in real life. A wise man said, if it wasn't for word problems, math would have no real use at all.
Word problems
What is the best way to teach math word problems? I had developed different methods and implemented them in my class and they work very well, but still have students who have difficulties interpreting words into symbols.
I find, when teaching math word problems, is that many students who struggle can't figure out what the question is asking them to do. Do I add? Do I subtract? What information will help me solve the problem?
It's important to help students break the problem down so they can find what information will help them solve the problem and what information is not necessary. I often use highlighters with students so they can highlight the important information.
One way I help younger students is keeping a math vocab book. It has language that is used in math and they need to write the word down, what the word means and draw and example. Simple words are words like sum and difference. It gets harder when it becomes words like factors and exponents. They can go to these books to see what the word means and an example of how it is used.
make them read the question more than once and sketch or draw a diagram of what is said in the question..... That's how i solve word problems
When working with word problems, I have my students take it one line at a time. As we read through them, they use a highliter (sparingly) to highlite important words/vocabulary. We do this from day one in my class and there has be a great improvement with word problem solving. There is also a stigma attached to "word" problems so we call them stories.
I am a big believer in being able to see a problem so we also draw pictures ALL THE TIME
i think you need to explain further for the words used in math problems caused sometimes they are redundant and sometimes they are hard to understand... like in age problems...
As a student, I would say to create a word problem that grabs the students' interest, so that they can easily understand the question, and then solve it.
Studies are showing that the brain of the 2011 young person is actually being re-wired due to the influences of technology and episodic speech such as texting and social networking. Fewer synapses are forming and when they do they show short episodic thinking, not connected thought. Sad but true. Therefore, as I teach my fifth graders math word problems, I work fervently to encourage their capacity at genuine critical thinking. This can happen within the context of mental math but also in every other subject as well. Their brains are now hard wired for instant fact finding, such as google and yahoo search engines. Our challenge as teachers is to help them think analytically and critically. To observe data and form hypothesis and conclusions that are logical and provable, outside the box.
All of the above posters are correct. There is one more thing to try, which isn't a specific technique, but more of an incentive. I teach a high school math class for kids who have REALLY been struggling with math. I try to use word problems that they will actually use in their lives, and I tell them I do not want them cheated out of their money. If they don't know how to figure out how much of something they will need, and how to figure out how much they should be charged, they may very well be cheated.
I teach elementary math (3rd grade). I do agree that math and reading are related. If your student is a struggling reader then they might very well be a struggling math problem solver. If you make them see the benefit of being a math problem solver, then they might just very well become one. The must see the relevance of math in their lives. The key to reaching any students is finding the motivator in their lives.
some world problems are very easy to understand and work out and some others are very hard and difficult to understand plus to work out
I'm having trouble on these math word problems and I have to do like 8 more. Cn you help me on these 5?
20. The longest side of a triangle is twice as long as the shortest side and the remaining side is 25 cm. If the perimeter is 70 cm, find the length and the widt
i as a student can give prospective of a word problem from the side of a student . i think all problems with its tough language . the teachers first should give a chance to students to atleast try for three times so that the student may analise the question rather than getting answers but stressing on the concepts instead.the class should be frank enough to discuss problems even if they have slightest problems .
well as all of you hgave also devised quite good methods to overcome the mammoth word problems!

i think this is the solution but do reply the correct one if i am wrong!
let the shortest side be x
therefore ,
the longest side will be 2x
adding all the sides of the triangle
so, the shortest side 15
the longet side 15*2=30
Interesting question. I am of opinion that the word problems can be given by using day to day materials that are known to them. Say for examble, There are sixty five coupons in a box. Out of it 34 coupons were issued. How many coupons will be available in the box. Instead of starting teaching with coupons, we go with known things such as balls, ice creams, etc. Since these things are known to children, we can easily go near to them. Above all, I feel it is very much needed as well as a must that every teacher should behave as children when they are with children. So that novel ideas will come from that children itself. we can make use of it.
i am person who loves to solve tricky sums. i love word problems because words are used less than signs.

The four-day allergy forecast for the Twin Lakes Area, on a scale of 1-12 from pollen.com, is:
Today -- O.1/low with predominant pollen being ragweed.
Monday --2.8/low-medium. Pollen concentrations for Monday will be rising but will still remain in the low range. This rise is a result of drier air. This heavy increase in pollen concentration could very well cause problems for those who are allergic to airborne pollens.
Tuesday -- 4.2/low-medium
Wednesday -- 4.4/low-medium.

An Alabama Town Revives Local Manufacturing With Bamboo Bikes
It grows by the side of the road (and incredibly quickly). Could bamboo be the material that revitalizes this dying town?
A group of activists and artisans in the small Alabama town of Greensboro (population 2,497) are bucking the trend of declining manufacturing and unemployment across the South with an unlikely solution: making high-end bikes from bamboo grown on the side of the road.
"We are always looking for materials we can make something from, and neighbors are always complaining about how hard bamboo is to get rid of," explains Pamela Dorr, executive director of HERO, the community development nonprofit in Greensboro that's spearheading the project. "As we talked to designers and friends about what could be done, we learned about the DIY bikes at Bamboo Bike Studio in Brooklyn and started working with them as a partner."
The result is a product line called HERObikes. The third model, the Semester, recently debuted on Kickstarter. Built from hexagonal tubes made from bamboo and lined with carbon fiber, "the look of the Semester Bike is designed to be minimal and sparse," says Door. The bike will retail for $850.
HERObike currently employs two people in its shop, according to Dorr, while the main arm of the nonprofit employes another 30, focused on its mission of alleviating rural poverty through responsible development of housing and community spaces. "When the Kickstarter is complete, HERObike will be able to employ two additional positions to build bamboo bikes," she says. "We hope this is just the beginning of big changes in our small town."

So 800$ for a bike that could get destroyed by a rain storm? Sounds like a deal!
Rain, water, or snow does not damage the frames. The frames are heat sealed, so they are water tight.
Sweet bikes, awesome campaign! What an ingenious way to make use of what some might see as a nuisance. Ingenuity is about about using what you've got to make something that matters.
How might this story inspire a broader movement that unlocks the ingenuity of people from all walks of life to bring new life to rural America?
I live in Alabama, the very idea that the Black Belt of Alabama is an odd place for innovation might seem a obvious thing but you would be ignorant of history if you think so. Alabama is literally the biggest influence on human daily life on earth. Without filling in details, it is the place that literally taught the world how to raise the crops to eat. Before these people, the world had a billion people and a large part were starving. Today fewer people are starving and the population is headed for 7.5 billion. No general or leader of the earth has had more influence on the daily lives of mankind that the People of Alabama and the Black Belt is part of this. A short list of things that come from Alabama would stun most people. It ranges from Space technology to Military technology to Agricultural and Medical technology. I love seeing people learn to do better in their lives. The history of Alabama isn't the history of our problems, it is the history of the end of those problems. We are leading the way for mankind to treat people better and this story is a great example of it.

Hi All,
I have always used this site for information in the past but have never joined myself before.
My reason for joining is I really need advice! I have been following Slimming World for the last 17 weeks. I have stuck to it rigidly and been extremely good. However I have only lost 1st so far.
It is beginning to really getting me down as I often go to way in to find I have gained 1lb or STS. I am losing all moral and it is taking every inch of my willpower to stick with it.
I having been wondering whether this type of diet just doesn't work for certain people and whether it would be worth moving to try Weight Watchers or something else? Does anybody have any advice having tried other diets?
I am 23, not overly active but not lazy either and have a good 4-5 stone to lose.
Something has got to give!
At my wits end!

• Yahoo bought Summly, an app that summarizes news stories, for a reported $30 million Tuesday. The headline "17-year-old's app sold for millions" is irresistible, which is exactly why journalists should resist it, Jack Shafer writes:
There's plenty of adult supervision at his company: Summly's chairman, we learn on the company's corporate Web site, has been in the Internet racket at least 15 years, including a stint at Amazon. Its CTO and head of R&D are similarly long-toothed with experience, as are other members of its executive team.
• Kevin Roose says the media Yahoo earned from the deal is the "kind of PR home run most companies can only dream of." But more important, it's a way to woo other wunderkinder:
Yahoo is already signaling that it plans to use [founder Nick] D'Aloisio as HR bait. … And while having a British teenager who looks like a One Direction member extol Yahoo's virtues might not convince every code jockey in Silicon Valley to jump onboard, it's probably going to result in at least a few more applications for open spots.
• "Nick is a founder that will make Mayer and Yahoo look cutting edge," a "person close to the situation" told Peter Kafka.
Cue the parade of PR profiles of the young genius made millionaire, helping Yahoo become relevant again.
• Yahoo is close to closing on a reported deal to buy the French video site Dailymotion, Nicholas Carlson writes. It's part of Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's plan to "reduce Yahoo's original content costs to 'essentially nothing,'" he writes after a conversation with a "source recently briefed" on the deal, after which Yahoo will add more user-generated content and "offer a personalized experience for the consumption of it all."
• Of perhaps related interest: The Wall Street Journal reported last week that NBCNews.com has hired Yahoo News Editor-in-Chief Hillary Frey as its editorial director.

Save a bunch of cash.
Raspberry Pi motherboard only $22
Posted: 673 days, 12 hours ago
Right not at Newegg.com, save $15 on a bundle that includes a Raspberry Pi motherboard and Total Defense Premium Internet Security software. This bundle was priced at $96.99, but has been reduced to $81.99. A $60 mail-in-rebate offer drops the price to $21.99 with FREE shipping, making this about $20 less than buying the computer alone anywhere else. The Raspberry Pi is a Linux-based computer on a motherboard the size of a credit card that is powered by microUSB and includes a SD card slot, Ethernet port, two USB 2.0 ports and a HDMI output. It is backed by a one year limited warranty on parts and labor from Raspberry Pi.
Detailed Product Information
Walmart has reduced the price on the Monster M7 7-inch dual-core tablet with 16GB of memory and HD screen. It was $149, but has been slashed to $74.99 with FREE shipping. That's $25 less than the lowest price we've seen anywhere else.
The Canon PowerShot S110 digital camera kit with 8GB SD card and Canon leather case is currently priced at $279 at Adorama.com. That makes this about $56 less than buying these items individually anywhere else.
Dell home has dropped the price on the Sharp 60-inch LED HDTV from $1,298 down to $849, a savings of $449. That makes this about $50 less than the lowest price found anywhere else.

That's why I sold my k20 and 50-135. Even my dad's Minolta circa 1990 had better autofocusing.
They've taken some big steps forward since then. K5 is on par with 60D and and D7000. K5II's only upgrade oer the K5 is the AF system (and display). Hopefully they'll put a sports AF system (7D-like and up) in the next flagship.

|Results of chemoradiotherapy for stage I esophageal cancer in medically inoperable patients compared with results in operable patients.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22925398 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The purpose of the present study was to evaluate long-term results of chemoradiotherapy for clinical T1b-2N0M0 esophageal cancer and to compare outcomes for operable and inoperable patients. Patients with stage I esophageal cancer (Union for International Cancer Control [UICC] 2009), excluding patients with cT1a esophageal cancer, were studied. All patients had histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma. Operable patients received cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil with concurrent radiotherapy of 60 Gy including a 2-week break. Inoperable patients received nedaplatin and 5-fluorouracil with concurrent radiotherapy of 60-70 Gy without a pause. End-points were overall survival rate (OS), cause-specific survival rate (CSS), progression-free survival rate (PFS), and locoregional control rate (LC). Thirty-seven operable patients and 30 medically inoperable patients were enrolled. There was a significant difference in only age between the operable group and inoperable group (P = 0.04). The median observation period was 67.9 months. In all patients, 5-year OS, CSS, PFS, and LC were 77.9%, 91.5%, 66.9%, and 80.8%, respectively. Comparison of the operable group and inoperable group showed that there was a significant difference in OS (5-year, 85.5% vs. 68.7%, P = 0.04), but there was no difference in CSS, PFS, or LC. Grade 3 or more late toxicity according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v 3.0 was found in seven patients. Even in medically inoperable patients with stage I esophageal cancer, LC of more than 80% can be achieved with chemoradiotherapy. However, OS in medically inoperable patients is significantly worse than that in operable patients.

Wall Street rewards the unexpected.
AOL posted its first quarterly earnings since being spun-off from Time Warner late last year. Total revenue came in at $809.7 million, down from $974.2 million in Q4 2008, a 17% drop.
"We have made significant progress in support of the long-term vision we see in the future of AOL, but today's results continue to reflect the need for our focus and execution on the work required in the turnaround of the Company," said Tim Armstrong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Ad revenues came in at $471.6 million, declining $512.5 million year-over-year, an 8% drop. Despite the declines, AOL managed a profit of $1.4 million. It's a small profit, but much better than last year's $1.96 billion dollar loss.
AOL said ad losses are primarily due to the decline in subscriptions to their Internet access business. Those users tend to search more and monetize at a higher rate than visitors to AOL.com.
"2009 marked the closing of an important chapter in AOL's history and the opening of a new chapter that we are passionately pursuing. We have a clearly defined strategy, and we enter 2010 incredibly focused on day-to-day execution," said Armstrong.
Wall Street seemed pleased with this first post spin-off report. Stocks were up 3.77% at the time of this post.

Audacity is an open source and cross platform application for editing and recording audio. Learn more about it with this Audacity review. One of the good things about this program is that it is free. There's no need to spend anything on expensive applications to record and edit sounds. It also does not require registration so you can download, install and use it immediately. It does not have time limit and editing is also simple. You can also adjust volume of tracks, as well as add music and other sound effects.
However, not everyone is a fan of this program. It also has some disadvantages such as the need to download another program called LAME in order to create mp3 files, as it only saves on .aup format. It does not allow embedding final output instantly on different sites online. If you are looking for an alternative program that you can use, here are some of them.
Streaming Audio Recorder (Windows&Mac)
If you have problems with Audacity not working or you just prefer another program, then Streaming Audio Recorder is an excellent option. You can record all kinds of sounds from your computer, whether it's playing from the system or you are streaming it online. You can also use your microphone for recording or use it together with the system sound. There is no need to download LAME as it comes with a built in converter that allows you to convert audio to different formats including MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG and ACC. It has editing feature that lets you create your own music.
In addition, it does better in entertaining yourself. You can use it to tune in a variety of online radio stations, or use it to download Mp3 from YouTube video by pasting URL. The other advantage is that if you use it to record music from website, it can automatically identify the song name, size, artist and album. You have no need to edit the ID3 tags again. Equipped with so many functions, Streaming Audio Recorder is indeed a good alternative to Audacity.
Wavosaur (Windows)
Another Audacity alternative that you can use is Wavosaur. It can be downloaded for free but it only supports Windows 98, Windows XP and Windows Vista. You can work on several files in one session with its multiple document interface. It has all the basic editing tools you need including cut, paste, copy, delete, undo and trim. It also offers various processing options such as fade in / fade out, normalize level, insert silence and mute.
This program has more advance and special features that will make your audio editing even better including vocal removal, exporting files as text, batch processing, crossfade loop and auto detect region. You can also use an external MIDI controller for its commands.
Jokosher (Windows&Linux)
Jokosher, the software like Audacity, can be used for creating your music. It has a simple user interface, which developers designed for all users in mind, including those who are just starting to edit, record and mix audio files. The menus and options are easy to understand, especially for musicians.
This alternative to Audacity also does not require installation of another application like LAME in order to play and save files on different audio formats including Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC and WAV. Different instruments can be added on the project that you are working on. If you would like to rename and mute them, this can also be easily done. Audio editing is simple with its moving, splitting and trimming tools. This is only available for Windows and Linux so if you are a Mac user, you may want to download the first option instead.

From what I read, the cop wanted to know who Gates was and Gates gave him two forms of ID. The cop accepted them and returned to his car. The incident would have been closed if Professor Gates had not followed the cop back to his car spewing insults.
This whole situation occurred in the most liberal town in Mass. and there was a PD supervisor watching, who made no attempt to stop the arrest. It was a judgment call by the cop, who decided he had been verbally abused enough. Anyone, black, white, green or purple, who runs their mouth at a cop (or anyone else, for that matter) runs the risk of being arrested. The Prof pushed too far.
Sometimes it's appropriate to put the victim mentality aside and thank the cop for doing his job. That applies to Mr Gates AND President Obama, who has stated that the cop should apologize. That's like having the Emperor judge the gladiator and turn thumbs down.
The President has 'disrespected' the cop, the system, the rest of Americans and his office by sticking his nose in where it does not belong.
His job is to represent ALL of the people and not get involved in matters that are outside of the constitutional responsibility of the President. There is an official chain of command and process to handle what happened and it NEVER includes the President of the US.
Barack, the man, has every right to his opinion, but when Obama, the President, speaks, the opinion he offers must be Presidential and in the best interests of the nation, not the man or the minority he is placing above the law.
The last thing America needs is cops who are afraid to interact with some groups and people who are emboldened by the President putting the cop in his place. Both men are role models and should act like it.

The police did what they are hired to do... respond to a complaint, check out the matter, arrest if needed. From what I heard on the news, Gates was slow in offering his identification... cops pick up on things like that and were right to further question him. When they didn't get the answers they needed, they arrested him. Gates might be a well-known figure in his college, but obviously not very well-known in his neighborhood! Now he's thinking of suing the police department?? The police should be suing him for deliberately hampering their investigation of the matter! And the only person who really did anything wrong is President Obama when he called the police "stupid"!! He should be impeached for such a remark! He's the leader of all of us... policemen included!... not just his buddies!

Once the fact was established that he was the owner of the house,the police officer should have tried to assist him...not arrest him.By the way,when are we going to hear about racial profiling with the police do or have done when they confront Purple,green and orange & white striped people acting like they breaking in their homes with keys or for speeding in a no fly zone ?? How come we never hear about that sorta of overt racism ?? Gee did our grand parents raise us all to be bigoted,or so prejudicial that if a Chinese-Polish American Hussite singing The national Anthem of Canada moved into the neighborhood, everyone would avoid him/her as if they had leprosy ? i don't think so...But I'm a wasp...who grew up on the streets...what would I know ?

Regardless of the validity of the arrest, asking the president about it during that particular press conference was just irresponsible.
The president was explaining things that are very much life effecting, to pretty much all of us, and it was a needless distraction from receiving and digesting very important information.
It reminded me of the press conference where he was discussing the war, jobs, bailouts, health care etc, and someone asked him where he stood on Derek Jeter using steroids, which is as relevant to the subject at hand as asking him what his favorite flavor of ice cream is.

If minorities want to end racism than why do they keep it out in the spotlight? Minorities and Liberals are always talking about racial profiling but when do you ever hear them praise people (like cops) for actually doing their job? Right away people are quick to jump on the racism train to make themselves look sympathetic to their cause. Their cause should be to stop making an issue where no issue exists.
What the left-wing Liberal media will not report is the fact that this JACKASS professor from Harvard who thinks his s**t doesn't stink was being completely belligerent to a cop that was only doing his job and protecting the neighborhood. He should have thanked the cop for being observative and protective but he decided to take the racism victim route.

Regardless of race, the real issue is the god-complex displayed by many cops and how they abuse their authority. Gates acted as one would be expected to act if they are in their own home, are wrongfully accused of breaking and entering their own home, and then humiliated by the government agent who had just violated his civil rights.
Unfortunately, even as an educated, white male, I fear for my civil liberties when confronted by the armed, arrogant soldiers who are paid to serve and protect the population. I commend Gates for his restraint, I probably would have reacted a lot more physically.

The officer did everything by the book. The police were called by concerned neighbors who believed someone was breaking into the professor's house (which, in fact, he WAS doing...the fact that he lived there is irrelevant to the police response). The officers got the description of "two black men breaking into the back door of [the professor's] house." They arrived to find a black man who had entered through a door which had clearly been tampered with, and they had no reason at this point to believe that there was a legitimate reason for this. This is not racial profiling, it is following the evidence. Since the officers had no way to know ahead of time who the man in the house was, they did the proper thing in asking for identification. If Professor Gates had acted civilly and maturely, as one would expect an esteemed professor to do, the incident would have been over. Instead, he yelled at and threatened the officer. As the officers left, he followed them out of the house, still screaming at them and calling them racist and threatening them. Threatening a police officer, whether you feel it is justified or not, is not smart. It is, in fact, a good way to get yourself arrested, or tased. The officers arrested a man who was threatening them, outside his home (a police officer can arrest someone outside their home without an arrest warrant). Maybe instead of screaming racism, Pr. Gates should grow up. People like him are the very reason that real victims of racism get ignored. Would Prof. Gates have reacted this way if a black cop had shown up and requested ID? Or is Prof. Gates himself racist? Shame on the police? No, shame on the professor for acting like an infant and throwing a temper tantrum, and then pulling the race card. Pathetic. And now, after pulling this stunt, he gets a free trip to the White House. Way to reward bad behavior, guys.

The fact is that Obama shot off his mouth without, by his own admission, knowing the facts. Irresponsible. This type of behavior is what leads to wars between nations. It is time for him to consider the consequences of his words and actions, not simply try to interject himself and the federal government where they don't belong.

HobbesEsq That is not the dumbest post I have ever seen here but it is most surely in the top ten. It is liberals like you that have caused the decline in America that we have been seeing the last 40 years. You have no respect for authority and I dare say morality. If I asked you the difference between ignorance and apathy, I bet you would say "I don't know and I don't care". But that is just one man's opinion.

Instead of calling the Police names and being uncooperative Gates should have done what any decent person would have done and that is thank the Police for checking that his home was not being burglarized. Instead this racist and Gates is a racist as far as I'm concerned started calling the Police names and screaming racism and being totally uncooperative by refusing to show ID. Also, I wonder if this professor was white, would Oboma have said the same thing? I doubt it!!!!

lalala how would the Police know it was his home if he refused to show ID and once he did show his ID he continued to insult the Police for doing their job and trying to protect this liberal racist's property. Gates is no better than the Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons who continue to scream racism where there is no racism involved, they are the racists, or in your mind is it only whites that can be racists.

How did he look like he was breaking into a house when his id showed it was his house? And it's not illegal to talk back to the police and you have every reason to be aggravated at being harassed.

|A meta-analysis on the utility of peripheral venous blood gas analyses in exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the emergency department.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19996974 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|The objective of this case-based review is to identify and summarize the relevant evidence for the clinical utility of peripheral venous blood gas (pVBG) analyses in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treated in the emergency department. Relevant studies were identified using the Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, and CINAHL databases and by hand searching of references of published articles. Included studies were prospective trials comparing arterial and pVBG results in patients with COPD or respiratory distress that reported at least average differences and/or limits of agreement between the two results in English. Outcomes of interest were agreement between arterial and pVBG values for pH, pCO2, pO2, and HCO3. Eighty-nine studies were identified of which six were relevant. The weighted average difference for pCO2 was 5.92 mmHg, whereas those for pH, pO2, and HCO3 were 0.028, 18.65 mmHg, and 1.34 mEq/l, respectively. Using Bland-Altman analysis, the 95% limits of agreement were in the range of -0.10 to 0.08, -17 to 26 mmHg and, -3.5 to 3.5 mEq/l for pH, pCO2, and HCO3, respectively. Reported cutoff pVBG pCO2 values for screening of arterial hypercarbia ranged from 30 to 46 mmHg. No studies investigated the role of pVBG analysis in treatment alteration or clinical outcomes. Available evidence suggests that there is good agreement for pH and HCO3 values between arterial and pVBG results in patients with COPD, but not for pO2 or pCO2. Widespread clinical use is limited because of the lack of validation studies on clinical outcomes.

2006 Fender Hot Rod Tele acquired used in 2010 from Guitar Center (Hollywood CA) for a great price. Fantastic guitar, lightweight and an inspiration to play.
2004 Martin OM-21 acquired new from Eric Shoenberg's shop in Tiburon CA in 2005. The OM-21 is a sleeper in Martin's standard line, and this one, handpicked by Eric at the Martin factory, is simply amazing. A tone monster. The spruce top was nearly pale white when I bought it.
The Ol' lady bought me this for a belated X-Mas present and it came a few days ago. Have been playing it alot.

I met Eric schonberg in the ealy 80's (or late 70's, not sure) in Quebec city and we had a great conversation. He signed my vinyl album of his duet with David Laibman. This guy is the stuff of legend in the acoustic guitar world.
These two instrument fit this thread. I play my Sa2200 fairly often these days when I play guitar at all and today I spent some time on the drums. Otherwise I practice french horn everry day a bit.
B.C. Rich perfect 10
Made in Korea
Neck through 10-string guitar that i removed the extra 4 strings on
Really nice neck that is soo easy to play
I know it
http://palermoguitars.com/#/the-guitars/4567363751 i was playing one of theese yesterday! so incredly nice a guy in my area builds them custom. he actually has one of the 300 evh frakenstrats v have seen it and he bassically makes EXACT replicas! there is even videos of him playing the orig evh and than his! super solid dude great little shop check them out!
I've had it about a month...It'll get demoted next week once I get my McFeely back from the builder though.
I really need some better pics of this.
Gibson LP Studio that I bought when I was 17. Obtained it with some settlement money from a faulty bike manufacturer. I traded it off to friend about 7 years ago for his acoustic and recently traded back. I have barely put it down, it plays better than I remember. A real workhorse and it has the scars to prove it.
This is very close to the guitar I am about to buy now.
These two pretty much get equal play time.
The strat is an MJT finished body, the neck is from my very first guitar and perfect for me in everyway, pickups are Klein jazzy cats, and the hardware is callaham. To me, this guitar sounds and plays as good as any strat I've ever picked up including customshop models, vintage strats, and current production models. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
My LP is a 2001 and was purchased from GreatDane. As expected, is an amazing playing and imo looking guitar. Pickups are Wolfetone Dr. Vintage which just ooze classic rock goodness. Hardware and plastic was swapped out with aged RS guitarworks pieces to give it a bit more of a vintage feel.
I used to have an ebony Les Paul Special about 7 years ago, but it had P-100's I never bonded with and I sold it after a year. This is a nice replacement, and bought for the same blowout price as the previous one, $499! Plus this has a bound neck. Will play at the next big Crash Pad show on March 2,
Here's a pic of me playing the previous one with Crash Pad:
I play all my guitars evenly but at the moment my carvin is up to bat...
DC135 Subtle flame Koa top over an alder body. Neck through, with (obviously) a floyd. Ebony fretboard. SSH layout but the single coils are actually single coil sized humbuckers. They do straty sounds fairly well. The bridge humbucker is very hot, but with good grind.
My girlfriend bought it for me for my birthday a few years ago, after I saw it in a shop.
Very nice guitar over all. Fit and finish is very good although I wish it would have had a nitro finish. Don't like Carvin's thick poly. Aside from that though it plays very well. Excellent variety of sounds but does it's best as a hard rock mid to high gain player.
My K-Line Truxton has stepped into my top spot. I custom ordered it this past summer - Chris turned it around right on the quoted 12-week lead time and made me a killer guitar. There's nothing particularly wild about the specs, just a good 60s Tele with a slightly hotter bridge pickup and slightly flatter fingerboard. It gets all the classic Tele tones but is never overly bright or icepicky, and the neck and fretwork are to die for.
The nitro finish is incredibly thin - literally a sheet of paper. Even though I've only had it for less than a year, I've been gigging it a bit and it's starting to naturally relic.
2009 Ibanez Jem7v, left handed. This has been my #1 since my wife gave it to me as a present. This guitar has been my "Holy Grail" guitar for many years. Only 150 left handed Jems were produced in the one and only production run of left handed Jem7v's. My wife tracked down probably the last one that was available in North America. It plays and sounds amazing.
My best student like playing it too.
Dimarzio Area 67 neck, FS-1 middle, Virtual Solo in the bridge, Charvel body, Warmoth pro Wolfgang profile with SS frets. 500k pots with .022pfu
Durango Guitar Works Iron Horse
24" Short Scale
Carved Top Alder Body
I had to throw it all out on the table to get it..
Light, versatile (who knew 1 P-90 could cover so much ground?) plays awesome........
This DBZ that WMS is closing out for under 300. The frets and neck are like a custom shop guitar, it weighs nothing sustains for days,sounds good unplugged.

Bosstastic. A Melody Maker LP with pickguard added, correct?
I've long had a plan to do the same.
This, It's so fun.

Self-Publishing Update—The Proof Copy has ArrivedPosted: September 22, 2011 Filed under: On writing, Self-publication | Tags: memoir, video 29 Comments
So many of you have supported me through this journey of writing and then self-publishing my memoir, Dancing in Heaven. I wanted to share this special moment with you. The video is about six and a half minutes long and includes short clips about my writing process.
Admittedly, my cinematography skills need a little improvement.
But I hope you enjoy the moment with me.
I did cry.

CONGRATULATIONS Christine!!!!! OMG I LOVE the movie! So glad you made it; thank you for sharing! Just beautiful — the book looks lovely and I know how emotional a moment it must have been for you, as I could see your hands shaking. (p.s. I was so afraid you'd tip the coffee cup over onto the books, whew! :)
Okay, I got quite teary-eyed as you opened the box and held the first copy in your hands. Thank you so much for sharing such a touching moment with us, Christine! And congratulations! I look forward to reading it.
You did it Sis! You must be very proud of yourself. Nice idea to video that special moment. The first of many more great works I'm sure ! Keep going.
Love you, Carol
Years and years of my stuff. I keep only the final drafts. They have no value to anyone but me and my kids will probably pitch away copies even of things in which I was published. The first thought upon hearing your gentle, kind and soothing voice was that you should be on tape reading children's books. They would listen. Thank you for sharing the precious moment. It was as though we watched you finally give birth.
[…] post that was surprisingly successful was Self-Publishing Update— The Proof Copy has Arrived (September 22nd). That was a regular big screen production. I almost took the first train to L.A. […]
I cried watching this too! Congratulations!
[…] have an idea that I got from Christine Grote about how I can share that moment with you […]

Giant African Land Snails
Giant African snails" is the common name used to describe three snail species native to Africa and considered serious agricultural pests in the United States. These snails can cause extensive damage to agricultural crops and pose a risk to human health. Recent information suggests that one or more of these species are being sold in pet stores, traded by exotic animal dealers, or used for educational purposes in schools. If you have a giant African snail, please do not release it into the environment or give it to someone else.
Contact VDACS at 804.786.3515, your local extension office or the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, 804.771.2042 to have the snail collected.
