When one of the most successful hip-hop artists of the last decade comes out of a self-imposed hiatus, people are going to have expectations.
Kingdom Come, Jay-Z's homecoming LP and one of the year's most anticipated releases, was predicted to top country darlings Rascal Flatts' Me & My Gang as this year's biggest-selling debut, with early sales projections providing a ballpark figure of 850,000 scans during one of the busiest shopping weeks of the year.
But while Kingdom Come's more than 680,000 sales easily score him the #1 spot on Billboard's albums chart, Jay-Z is going to have to settle for third place when it comes to the year's biggest debuts. Kingdom Come doesn't top the nearly 722,000 the Flatts sold during Me & My Gang's first week in stores, nor could it best the 684,000 first-week sales of Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds.
Along with topping every other album this week, Jay's latest album has beaten his personal best. Kingdom Come surpassed sales of 2000's The Dynasty: Roc La Familia — which, at about 558,000, earned the rapper the Billboard albums sales chart's #1 position the week after its release — to earn him his biggest opening-week showing and his seventh career chart-topper.
It was a rather robust week for record retailers, with national sales of the albums that comprise this week's Billboard top 200 reported to be close to 7.6 million — a huge surge from the previous week's 4.5 million-plus. All but 39 of the discs on this latest chart experienced sales boosts, whether slight (such as the 2 percent rise of Gnarls Barkley's St. Elsewhere, which sold close to 11,700 units for the chart's #137 slot) or significant (Switchfoot's Nothing Is Sound jumped 320 percent, returning to the chart at #91 with close to 18,000 copies sold).
New releases didn't do too shabbily either. In all, a total of 24 newcomers invaded Billboard's latest chart, with five cracking the coveted top 10. In at #2, with close to 304,000 scans, is the self-titled debut offering from Daughtry, the band fronted by "American Idol" contestant Chris Daughtry. Now That's What I Call Music! 23 — a collection of hit singles from Fergie, Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Nickelback and others — holds #3 with sales of 289,000, while Love, an album commissioned as the soundtrack to a Cirque du Soleil stage show and billed as the first authorized Beatles remix project, opens at #4 with 271,000 units snatched up. Snoop Dogg's latest, Tha Blue Carpet Treatment, debuts at #5 with 264,000 scans.
Following at #6 is Beyoncé's B'Day, selling another 173,000 copies its 12th week in stores. The soundtrack to the Disney Channel original series "Hannah Montana" slides two spots to #7 with 167,000 sold, and Akon's Konvicted drops six spaces to #8, racking up 164,000 in week-two sales.
In at #9 is another new release — Tupac Shakur's latest posthumous offering, Pac's Life, which features contributions from Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Keyshia Cole, T.I., Ashanti, Young Buck and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, among others. The record sold 159,000 units, to finish just in front of Keith Urban's Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing, which slips to #6 with 157,000 sold.
U2's retrospective collection U218 Singles opens at #12 with 134,000-plus sales, while Latin pop outfit RBD's Celestial debuts at #15 with 117,000 scans. Il Divo's Siempre bows at #17 with 108,000 copies scanned, bagged and carried away from the country's record shops, and coming in at #31 is the latest from Brand New, The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me, which put up week-one sales topping 60,000. New England metallers Killswitch Engage's As Daylight Dies follows 500 copies behind at #32 with nearly 60,000 scans.
Tom Waits' Orphans claims the chart's #74 slot with opening-week totals of 21,000, while The Gospel According to Patti LaBelle debuts at #86 with more than 18,000 copies sold. Oasis' Stop the Clocks collection bows at #89 with nearly 18,000 scans, followed at #101 by the self-titled debut from Rock Star Supernova, which sold close to 17,000 copies its first week of release. Sufjan Stevens' Presents Songs for Christmas finishes at #122 with 13,000 units scanned and The Legend of Johnny Cash, Vol. 2 claims #145 with sales of 11,000 and change.
P.O.D.'s Greatest Hits: The Atlantic Years opens at #152 with 10,000 copies grabbed up, Kiss Alive! 1975-2000, the new box set from the rock legends, follows at #167 with 9,000 sold. Just making the cut at #199 is the Kottonmouth Kings' Hidden Stash III, selling more than 7,000 units.

The actual process is so simple – and the results, even for a first release, so impressive – that we're boggled by the fact that Nintendo hasn't simply added this functionality to the Disc Channel as part of a system update. It's a matter of downloading a small file, a hombrew video player, copying them to an SD card, and using the Homebrew Channel (a guide to installing which we've posted about previously) to apply a two-second patch. Keep reading after the break for our full impressions.
Gallery: Guide to watching DVDs on Wii
Once it's up-and-running, you can pop into the Mplayer app from the Homebrew Channel, put any video DVD in the drive, and voila – you're watching a DVD on a game console. Crazy, huh? The video quality is good, although we've found that Mplayer drops frames during more action-packed scenes in order to keep the film's audio in sync. You can disable frame dropping, but your audio and video will exist in separate time zones. There's definitely a lot of tidying up of the UI that can be done, but again, this is a first effort and Mplayer is in continual development.
We have a full rundown on the playback controls in our video; our compatriots at Wii Fanboy have put together a step-by-step gallery detailing the process of installing the Homebrew Channel and getting the necessary DVD hack files onto an SD card, which you can make with the clicky on above.

Jan 22, 2013 EbenGregory News 10
And action!
Reports This is 50:
Yesterday on The Breakfast Club, Consequence and his girlfriend Jen The Pen aired Kanye West out for not sending a gift when their child was born. The couple revealed that Kanye was smashing Kim Kardashian when she was still dating Reggie Bush.
Cons also went at G.O.O.D. Music artists Big Sean and Q-Tip.
Pusha T responded to the interview on Twitter. But instead of talking a lot of trash he did it in a humorous way by joking about Consequence's teeth. Peep Pusha's tweet below.
And now…
This is EbenGregory.com…telling you an an excess of courtesy is discourtesy.
Eben! who the fk is consequence??? no really??? who is he LMFAO never heard of him
Consequence has been in the game for a minute. He got his start rolling with A Tribe Called Quest in the mid to late 90's and was featured on one of they hits off the the album Beats Rhymes and Life "Stressed Out" with Faith Evens. Cons claims in the video he ghost-writ most of Tips and Phifes stuff on Tribe's follwoing album, "The Love Movement" Considering how that album turned out I was digging J-Dilla's production on some of the tracks moreso than the lyrics, so I wouldn't brag too much about that. Since then he fell off into the indy scene, until he got on Kanye's G.O.O.D Music label, and well the rest is pretty evident. That is the short bio on Consequence, I would search some of his tracks, he is a solid mc, but I am afraid he is become more known for this current beef stuff, than his talent.
Con chick is hypin him up for failure, he wasnt even goin in til his girl got to cluckin…whats understood dont need to be said..and i bet Kanye stays silent
Kanye bought Consequence's teeth ?? Word ??
yeah he went in, pimp C
…more than likely, that was the straw that broke the camels back. Sounds like a whole lot of small incidents aded up to the final break in the relationship (Q-Tip trippin, owed money, ghostwriting, etc.)! #BeenThere
Niggaz want them gifts.
That's what I'm saying. Dude go mad that Kanye didn't send his lil one a gift but he didn't tell Kanye the baby was on the way? Something about this doesn't sound right because why all the beef over something like that.
All of that for not sending his kid a gift? These petty rap niggaz.. smh. Go brush ya teeth and gargle.

Beaune is one of the best places for wine tasting in France.

Two kisses on the cheeks
When people meet, they greet each other with two kisses on the cheeks, following the typical French custom called se faire la bise. It seemed to me that two kisses are the rule in this town, which is rare, because in most French villages, towns and cities, the number of bises can change significantly and there is no rule at all.
An "Etiquette"
This is the term in French for the label on a wie bottle. If you bought the bottle (and intend to tip your server) , after you finish your bottle say "S'il vous plait, pouvez-vous detacher l'etiquette de cette bouteille pour moi, comme souvenir". He should "willingly" comply (sometimes the heavy glue is a nuisance). This picture is of a label from a bottle that we had at the Inn at which we stayed in Chassy-le-Camp at the very southern tip of the Cote de Beaune, actually in the Department of Saone-et-Loire. We had requested a local white wine. The vineyard was next door to the Auberge du Camp Romain where we were staying. It had recently been awarded the DOC designation and they were all quite proud that they had their own White Burgundy. We were surprised to find that our Inn was filled with visitors at the time we were there. It turned out that they were all Germans who found the hiking trails nearby to be most enjoyable at the end of Spring.

|Fredda Weiss (1976–2004; divorced)
Eileen Henry (2004–present)
Richard Masur (born November 20, 1948) is an American actor who has appeared in more than 80 movies. From 1995 to 1999, he served two terms as president of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). Masur currently sits on the Corporate Board of the Motion Picture & Television Fund.[1]
Life and career[edit]
Masur was born in New York City, to a high school counselor mother, Claire Masur and a pharmacist father.[2] He attended P.S. 28, Walt Whitman Junior High School, and Roosevelt High School in Yonkers. He is the brother of Judith Masur and the husband of Eileen Henry. Masur is Jewish.[3][4]
Masur studied acting at The Yale School of Drama and appeared on stage before acting in movies and television shows during the 1970s. He had recurring roles in Rhoda from 1974 to 1978; One Day at a Time from 1975 to 1976; Hot L Baltimore in 1975; and the pilot to an NBC sitcom, Bumpers, in 1977. In 1981, Masur played the role of a child molestor armed with a camera in the television film Fallen Angel. His next project was the 1982 horror/sci-fi The Thing, as the dog handler, Clark. The film has acquired a significant cult following in the years since its release, and Masur occasionally reunites with former The Thing cast members for Q&A panels at fan conventions.
Masur played the father to Corey Haim's character in 1988's License to Drive and was part of the ensemble cast of the 1990 TV miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's It.
Masur played the role of a character modeled after Jewish-American spy Jonathan Pollard in the film Les Patriotes (The Patriots) (1994), by French director Éric Rochant.
In January 2006, Masur began appearing as a recurring character on the soap opera All My Children. He has also appeared in guest spots on many TV shows, including M*A*S*H, All in the Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Hawaii Five-O, The Waltons, Happy Days, Picket Fences, Matlock, Murphy Brown and Law & Order.
Masur played the role of Martin Stone in the off-Broadway play Dust.

Rand slips ahead of dataComment on this story
Johannesburg - South Africa's rand traded on the backfoot against the dollar with an end to a month-long strike in the metals sector failing to stem a slide as one employers' group said it did not accept the deal and planned to lock workers out.
The local unit slipped 0.48 percent from its New York close to 10.6135 per dollar by 08:44 SA time, its weakest level in four days.
The rand made nominal gains in the previous session after union Numsa announced it had accepted a wage agreement with employers that would see over 200,000 of its members return to work.
The currency is expected to be volatile this week as markets look ahead to the release of a number of economic indicators beginning with second quarter unemployment numbers at 13:00 SA time on Tuesday and June trade data on Thursday.
"Trade data so far suggests the current account deficit could widen to more than 6 percent of GDP in Q2," said Christie Viljoen of NKC Independent Economists in a morning market note.
"South Africa's economy is dependent on foreign portfolio flows to fund this shortfall, which leaves the rand extremely vulnerable to shifts in sentiment toward emerging markets."
Government bonds were slightly weaker.
The yield on the paper due next year added half a basis point to 6.66 percent, while the yield on the longer-dated paper maturing in 2026 was up 2 basis points to 8.245 percent. - Reuters

The Governor Strikes Back
As challengers line up for the California recall election, one small fact is getting overlooked: Gray Davis isn't dead yet.
7:15 AM, Jul 30, 2003 • By NICOLE TOPHAM
WHILE NEWS ABOUT California's recall election is changing as fast as tickers on Wall Street, two things are certain: there will be a recall election October 7, and it will be a vicious campaign: Gray Davis has vowed to fight like a Bengal tiger--which both Democrats and Republicans will tell you is no idle threat.
The most pronounced attacks in this instance have been against Rep. Darrell Issa, who was the first officially declared candidate against Davis. During an appearance on CNN's "Late Edition," Davis accused Issa of being a "right-winger" and went through the usual litany of "right-wing" offenses: "He's against gun control. He won't support a moratorium on offshore drilling. And he's not for a woman's right to choose."
And yet Davis (whose approval rating is 22 percent) is not fighting by himself. Bill Clinton has been invited to California to help the anti-recall movement. Democratic candidates are holding back, following California Assembly Speaker Herb Wesson's advice for the party to remain united. Back in May the unions and other Davis supporters formed the group Taxpayers Against the Governor's Recall and have raised $1,759,001 to keep Davis. Also, the group recently filed a lawsuit claiming that some of the circulators gathering signatures petition were working illegally. The hearing is set for August 8. On their website, stoptherecall.com, only a small percentage of the content has to do with arguments against the recall. The rest of the content concentrates fire on Issa, claiming that he's an "extremist" and "has supported Congressional efforts to strip federal workers of their union protections." According to stoptherecall.com, "Issa has positioned himself to the right of Newt Gingrich and Trent Lott."
And Davis and the Democrats have another line of attack: The special election will cost the state approximately $30 million, none of which is in the overdue budget, which was just passed yesterday in Sacramento. This week Standard & Poor's lowered California's credit rating by three notches, making it the lowest in the nation. With the state facing a $34.8 billion deficit, Democrats are eagerly labeling the recall effort the pork that broke the budget's back.
Gray Davis began the song, reminding reporters that the money needed for the special election "will come out of the same pot of money that pays for teachers and police officers." Davis media consultant David Doak told reporters for the Associated Press that, "The average voter cares much more about what the recall election is costing them." After announcing the date for the election, Lt. Governor Cruz Bustmante again reminded Californians of the price tag. Only this time he said it would cost $35 million.
Republicans are cheering this recall election as a major victory. But Gray Davis isn't dead yet. If, after a $30 million election, Davis winds up still in the Governor's seat, the California GOP's recent time in the wilderness could turn out to be just the beginning.

"We don't see the world as it is, we see it as we are." —Anaïs Nin Do you feel stuck? Do you find that you're often preparing for the worst? Where are you putting your attention? When we step back and examine our worldview it can lead us to question our belief systems and our […]
Life is Perspective
Organic—and Ornery
Does eating organic make us mean?
A recent study conducted by researchers at Loyola University New Orleans looked at how food related to morality: how and whether what we eat influences how we think and act. The results, published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, revealed that eating organic foods can most definitely impact morality, kindness, and attitudes toward others—but not necessarily in a good way. Participants who were exposed to organic foods, the study reported, volunteered significantly less time to help a stranger in need. They were also far more judgmental about others' actions as they related to food and non-food subjects. In short, people who ate organic food were more likely to be jerks.
While most of the organics-loving people we know are kind, generous, lovely non-jerks, the results of the Loyola study could perhaps be explained by what Aruni Nan Futuronsky, a certified life coach and program advisor for Kripalu Healthy Living programs, calls "the curse of consciousness." That is, the more we know, the more we want to impose that knowledge onto others. As we make changes for ourselves it becomes easier to notice those who have not made those changes for themselves, or who otherwise live differently. We may then judge them, even unconsciously.
Turning Point: Daniel Siegel
Daniel J. Siegel, MD, is clinical professor of psychiatry at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and executive director of the Mindsight® Institute. He has published extensively, including Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation, an in-depth exploration of the power of the mind to integrate the brain and promote well-being.
Q Describe what you do in 15 words or less.
A I teach interpersonal neurobiology to empower people to create more integration, kindness, and compassion in their lives and the world.
Q Tell us about a turning point in your life.
A I was working with a family whose relationships with each other were profoundly shaped by a brain injury the mother experienced. The question of how to help this family depended on addressing how mind, brain, and relationships are interconnected, and what makes them so fundamental to well-being. That experience gave birth to a journey to bring all the sciences together into one perspective, one we now call "interpersonal neurobiology," that offers a definition of the mind, a view of mental health, and a framework that reveals how mind, brain, and relationships are three facets of one reality that shapes our lives.
The Great Work of Your Life: A Guide for the Journey to Your True Calling
Excerpt from the Book, The Great Work of Your Life by Stephen Cope.
I see my own concerns about fulfillment played out nearly every day of my professional life. I work at one of the biggest holistic retreat centers in America—Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. We see more than 35,000 people a year here in our sprawling, former-Jesuit monastery perched high up in the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts. Our guests come for various kinds of retreats: yoga, meditation, self-inquiry, couples' work, healthy living. And almost every single one of them comes here in some phase of the mission to find this secret, hidden inner possibility spoken of in the Gospel of Thomas.
Better Bone Health: It's All About Balance
Want to keep your bones healthy and strong? If you're paying attention to the news these days, the word on bone health can feel pretty discouraging. Bisphosphonates, the first-line therapy in treating osteoporosis, have been linked to serious side effects, such as atypical femur fractures, osteonecrosis of the jaw, and even esophageal cancer. More recently, a European study showed an increase risk of heart attacks in those who take calcium supplements. But don't lose hope! Better bone health can be simple to achieve and maintain. The key is balance.
Freeing the Joy Within
As a veteran police lieutenant living in Philadelphia, I'm not your typical yogi. About a decade ago, while looking to add stretching to my exercise routine, I discovered Bikram Yoga. I quickly found that incorporating yoga into my life made me feel radically different—less worried, more grounded. Even doing a 20-minute routine before work left me feeling at peace with myself and better able to handle people with grace. I also found that yoga helped dissipate the low-level anxiety I'd lived with for so long.
Yoga soon took on a central role in my life, and, five years ago, I decided to become a teacher so I could share what I'd learned with others. I'd been teaching in Philadelphia for about a year when I flipped through the Kripalu catalog and was intrigued by a program with Shiva Rea. It seemed to have an element of flow to it that I hadn't experienced in other classes I'd taken.
Her program was my first opportunity to take yoga all day long, and the experience was supernatural. When I came out of the class the next day, I felt like I was flying. It was as if someone had unleashed a sense of joy in my body; I felt so light and exhilarated. I couldn't believe I could feel that good. I thought to myself, "I need to learn how to bring this feeling into my teaching."
In the Moment of Quiet
"Love is not far away; it is as close as your heart." —Swami Kripalu
Think… Negative?
It's not the thoughts that are the problem. It's what we do with them.
A recent New York Times op-ed took issue with positive thinking. "What if we're trying too hard to think positive?" asks Oliver Burkeman. According to research, he writes, visualizing a successful outcome, under certain conditions, can make people less likely to achieve it. "Or take affirmations," he writes, "those cheery slogans intended to lift the user's mood by repeating them: I am a lovable person! My life is filled with joy! Psychologists at the University of Waterloo concluded that such statements make people with low self-esteem feel worse—not least because telling yourself you're lovable is liable to provoke the grouchy internal counterargument that, really, you're not."
But is this really true? According to the principles of Positive Psychology, focusing on growing happiness, love, success, and strengths through positive thinking is far more effective than trying to overcome anxiety, neuroses, and weakness alone. At the same time, overcoming anxiety and finding happiness needn't mean denying less desirable emotions, such as fear, anxiety, or sadness. "Negative emotions are fact of life," says Susan B. Lord, MD, who leads many Kripalu Healthy Living programs. "Instead of thinking about how we can live without them, we should be thinking about how to deal with them." That is, it's not negative thinking that's the problem—it's how we choose to react to it. "Sadness is part of life, grief is a part of life, but depression means your sadness has gotten stuck," she says. "The idea is to be mindful of the kinds of thoughts we have. Some are positive and some are negative. Our lives involve both."

EdRev 2015 Keynote Speaker
Learning Differently: Lessons from my Journey
Gavin Newsom
Lieutenant Governor of California
Member of Understood Board of Advocates
10:30 am
Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom was diagnosed with dyslexia at age five, but was not told for fear he would use his disability as a crutch. He eventually found out in fifth grade. He now speaks openly and inspiringly about his experiences, recounting the strategies and attitudes that have brought him success.
Lt. Gov. Newsom was first involved with EdRev in 2009 when he gave a video introduction to the Keynote presentation (watch it here!). We are truly honored to have Lt. Governor Newsom join us in person for EdRev 2015.
Special Tech Intro Workshop, 9 – 10:15 am
Ten Must-Know Technology Interventions That Level the Playing Field for Diverse Learners
Shelley Haven ATP, RET Assistive Technology Consultant
Technology is sometimes called "the great equalizer" for students who learn differently, and with good reason. The right tools, when coupled with sound strategies, do more than just compensate for learning weaknesses; they can also help students tap into their innate strengths, increase independence, and improve self-confidence. Join assistive technology consultant Shelley Haven as she demonstrates her choice of the top ten categories of technology that are game changers for students who struggle with reading, writing, math, taking notes, attention, organization, and planning. This session will also provide both beginners and experienced tech users with a framework for getting the most out of EdRev's newly-designed technology section.
Discover Your Super Powers with Super Dyslexia Girl! (for Kids ages 6-10, limited to 25)
Super Dyslexia Girl
Sometimes school is hard. Luckily ALL kids with learning and attention differences have strengths. Super Dyslexia Girl will help kids realize their Super Powers and identify their "Kryptonite." During this art based workshop for kids, she will teach them how they can rely on their special Super Powers to overcome challenges inside and outside the classroom. Kids will create their own personal shield that will remind them of the amazing ways they contribute to their community and the ways that they learn best.
Enriching the Learning Environment with Language and Literacy for Diverse Learners
Alexis Filippini, PhD, Founder of Building on the Best
As humans, spoken language is our primary mode of communication and we encounter language throughout the day, not just during English/Language Arts. In this workshop, participants will develop techniques for enriching the learning environment with language and literacy during the many "teachable moments" that occur outside of dedicated literacy instruction.
Finding Your Voice- Discussion by LD/ADHD High School Students
Students from PEN's Student Advisors for Education (SAFE) Program, Moderated by SAFE Program Facilitators
In panel format, high school students with learning and attention differences will discuss the challenges they experience as well as the strengths they possess inside and outside of the classroom. They will share how they have learned to advocate for themselves, their strategies for success, and resources that they rely on in various settings. Their candor and unique role as students offers a new perspective on learning differences and the educational environment they have learned to work within.
Mindfulness and Parenting: Finding Grace Amidst the Chaos
Dr. Amy Saltzman MD, Director of a Still Quiet Place
Do you find the combination of living, parenting an LD child, and working in or out of the home stressful? Do loads of laundry, late office hours, a full schedule of enriching activities, or "D all of the above" make you feel irritable and a bit crazy? Do you find yourself thinking "if only I were a better Mother (Father)"? Would you like to minimize the effects of daily stress on you and your children?
Understanding ADHD: Turning vulnerabilities into strengths
David Kessler, LPC
Working with the diagnosis of ADHD presents very differently in different people. Oppositional behavior, procrastination and laziness aren't always what they seem. This workshop will help participants decode ADHD behavior, learn simple real world accommodations to assist people with ADHD as well as developing their own skills for dealing with this dynamic population.
The Neuroscience of Dyslexia
Dr. Fumiko Hoeft, UCSF Associate Professor and Director of Laboratory for Educational NeuroScience
This presentation will address the importance of an integrated approach in understanding learning differences such as dyslexia: from genetics to brain networks, and from risk factors to protective factors. We will discuss the latest advances in the neuroscience of learning differences, with a particular emphasis on resilient (stealth) dyslexics. The presenter will highlight the importance of emphasizing children's "internal environment" such as motivation, mindset, grit and resilience-developable traits that are absolutely necessary for children with learning differences to succeed.
Refining Our Understanding of Executive Function
Surina Basho, Ph.D., Director of Research in Learning Differences and Developmental Psychologist
In this workshop we will focus on the role executive function (EF) plays in learning. A brief introduction into the development of executive function and its components will be provided, followed by a discussion on how EF directly impacts learning and school. Finally, general and specific strategies for supporting executive function weaknesses in children will be presented.
Roundtable Discussions: Charting Your Career as an Individual with Learning/Attention Differences
Facilitated by Eric McGeherty, CEO of Globerunner
Roundtable conversations will be facilitated by professionals with learning and attention differences and will focus on career development and career experiences. Participants will rotate through a series of discussions moderated by individuals in a variety of fields. The conversations will focus on how learning and attention differences shaped their academic/career paths and how they currently impact their work experiences. Moderators will also share strategies they use in the workplace to experience professional success.
Panel: Adults with Learning and Attention Differences
Facilitated by Eric McGeherty, CEO of Globerunner
Panelists will share how learning and attention differences shape their lives. They will focus on how they navigated the school settings they have been a part of, share some of the resources that they rely on for support and discuss some of the challenges and successes that they have experienced in their personal journeys. Additionally, panelists will also discuss some of the strategies they have used to find academic and life success and share their unique perspective on what changes they have seen on the LD landscape in their lifetime.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder & Executive Functioning In Children: What It Really Means
Dr. Paul Beljan PsyD, ABPdN, ABN
This session focuses on the brain basis of attention and executive functioning, specifically learning. Children identified with ADHD are widely misdiagnosed or misunderstood if the diagnosis is accurate. The high rate of over-diagnosing this condition places children at risk for being further misunderstood and mistreated as they fail to respond to traditional ADHD interventions. This interactive lecture will provide an understanding of the components involved in an intact attention and executive function system, why children are often over-diagnosed with ADHD and other psychiatric disorders, and what parents can do about it.
Education by Design
Kim Jacobson, Innovation Zone (iZone)
Educators around the world are using Design Thinking to co-create new solutions for their classrooms, schools and communities. In this hands-on workshop, you'll explore the design thinking process with fellow educators, parents and students using some of the most instrumental design thinking methods that the Stanford d.school has pioneered.
Essay Writing for High School Students with Learning Differences: A Structured and Scaffolded Approach
Donna Austin & Laura O'Brien, Bayhill School
Participants will learn how to systematically introduce high school students to the writing process. We will cover how to break down the components of essays into manageable chunks using a system of highly structured graphic organizers. We will demonstrate how best practices in teaching reading comprehension can move easily into responses to literature, essays and research projects. This approach addresses the needs of students with difficulties in reading, writing and executive functions.
Growing up with ADHD: Perspectives of a Child Psychiatrist Father and his Now Adult Son
Dr. Glenn Elliott and his son Mark Elliott
This presentation will provide an overview of how ADHD evolves over time, using one family's experience to illustrate how ADHD can affect development and relationships. The expectation is that the audience will gain a better appreciation of how ADHD affects family life, for better and worse, and learn about coping strategies that may help diminish problems, ease tensions, and enhance outcomes.
Mind-Blowing Techniques for a Successful Transition to College: Facilitate your Learning, Unlock your potential, Enhance your Brilliance
Terry M. Regan, MA, Educational Therapist/Advisor
The purpose of this workshop is to lay the groundwork for a successful transition to college for both parents and students. Understanding the paradigm shift that a student is about to undergo is critical to maximizing student strengths and minimizing weaknesses and parent worry! The college environment is distinctly different and this changes the relationship for both parents and students. Understanding how to negotiate separation anxiety will be discussed. This workshop is practical and focuses on how to negotiate services and figuring out exactly what will work for the student in question–particularly when the level of support for students is not immediate. A summer workshop is in the offering for students.
Social Emotional Learning in a Digital World
Patricia Monticello Kievlan, EdM, Writer and Educator
Today's kids and parents face a fast-changing landscape of technology that can make social emotional learning even more complex for neurodiverse learners. This talk will feature big ideas, concrete strategies, and great take-home tools for helping kids develop social emotional skills while immersed in a digital world. This talk is appropriate for parents and kids of all ages, and especially for middle school and high school families.

Equity Firm's Report Points Toward Two Architecturally Unique iPhones in Development
Date: Wednesday, April 1st, 2009, 08:53
Category: iPhone
A report released by little-known equity research firm Lazard Capital Markets could points towards two architecturally distinct models of iPhone being developed for release this year.
"Our checks confirm that two versions of iPhones will be introduced this year," Lazard Capital Markets semiconductors analyst Daniel Amir wrote in the opening paragraph of the report. "Production of the new phones should start at the beginning of April and will ramp in May."
According to AppleInsider, the analyst stated that both models are likely to be introduced in June, one being a "high-end" model while the other represents a "low-end" version.
Unlike analyst reports earlier this year, which suggested Apple was developing a scaled down iPhone in addition to a new high-end model as part of a volume play, Amir said he believes the two models will target different geographical regions rather than different classes of consumers.
"We believe it is possible that the two phones will be aimed at different regions," he wrote. "The high-end version is expected in North America and Europe, and the low-end version may be for the BRIC countries [Brazil, Russia, India, and China] or China only."
Amir suggested that the high-end version will have video capability, a better camera and 32GB of storage. Tthe low-end version will include less storage, no video functions, and possibly lack Wi-Fi (a move which could potentially cater to the demands of Chinese wireless carriers).
Last fall, stories emerged that wireless carrier China Mobile had asked Apple to supply iPhone handsets with both Wi-Fi and 3G features disabled.
In addition, various code strings present in the first external beta of iPhone OS 3.0 have been titled "iPhone 2,2" and "iPhone 3,1". Apple makes changes to the first numeral in these kind of identifier strings to distinguish products from their predecessors or family members only when there's a significant architectural difference between the two.
Within the report, Amir also told clients that iPhone shipments for the first calendar quarter of the year ending tomorrow could come in as high as 4 million thanks to record shipments for the month of March.
"Our checks suggest that March iPhone shipments have been much stronger than previously expected and may reach 1.5 million units, which is the highest level over the past five months," he said. "Total iPhone shipments in [first quarter of 2009] are therefore tracking slightly higher than Street expectations of 3-3.5 million units and could reach 3.8 to 4 million units."
The analyst then went on to suggest that second quarter shipments could surge as high as eight million units.
"April shipments, including both the current and new versions of the iPhone, could increase 40%-50% month-over-month, and be up another 20%-30% month-over-month in May," he wrote. "Accounting for the new versions of the iPhone shipping in April, total iPhone shipments in [the second quarter] could reach 7-8 million units, which equates to approximately 3-4 times last year's shipments during the same period."
If you have anything to add to this, please let us know in the comments or forums.

Preston — The town's effort to clean up the remaining former Norwich Hospital buildings and other structures received a major boost Thursday, when the state Bond Commission unanimously approved a $5 million Urban Act grant with no local match required to continue the work.
The funding will allow the Preston Redevelopment Agency to tackle one of the largest and most expensive buildings to demolish on the main campus, the former Kettle Building on Route 12. The grant amounts to half the estimated amount needed to complete the entire cleanup of the former state hospital campus.
"This was the huge hurdle we had to overcome. This will go a long way toward getting this property shovel-ready for development," First Selectman Robert Congdon said after meeting and posing for photos with PRA Chairman Sean Nugent, agency member Jim Bell, state Rep. Timothy Bowles, D-Preston, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman.
Both Malloy and Wyman have toured the 393-acre campus now in the town's hands.
Nugent said Malloy asked during the meeting when the town would be able to use the money, and the answer was "right away." While the PRA expects to finish demolition work by April using two current loans totaling $4 million, preliminary work using the new funding will begin immediately.
Town officials plan to invite Malloy to a ceremony when demolition begins on the Kettle Building.
Prior to Thursday's Bond Commission meeting, town officials met with the Southeastern Connecticut Enterprise Region to urge that the redevelopment of the former Norwich Hospital property, now called Preston Riverwalk, be listed as a top regional priority in the region's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy report. That would give the town a better chance to obtain federal grants — matched with the new state grant — for the cleanup.
Congdon said he appreciated Malloy's comments during the Bond Commission meeting that the state support reverses previous state actions that abandoned and neglected the Norwich Hospital facility, leaving the contaminated building crumbling.
Nugent said with the total $13 million in grants and loans and local matches obtained prior to Thursday's $5 million grant, the PRA has been able to demolish 42 of the 62 total structures — including tunnels and oil tanks — on the main campus.
By April 1, there should be only about eight to 10 buildings remaining when the town starts to spend the new $5 million grant.
Town officials hope the work to clean up the property will better position the land for development. The PRA has contracted with Boston-based real estate broker Jones, Lang, LaSalle to market the property. Nugent said he has updated the firm with the new grant information for its advertising efforts.
The PRA met in executive session Wednesday to discuss "sale of real estate within Preston Riverwalk." Nugent said Thursday he could not comment on the discussions. Nugent said a number of firms have inquired about the property and a couple of groups have toured the property.
"My true elation won't happen until we have a development contract in hand," Nugent said.

Thornback ray (Credit Amy Lewis)
Such diverse gravel communities provide rich hunting grounds, supporting a range of other species, such as rays.
Marine species can colonise here undisturbed by wave action.
Situated south of Brighton and extending out to the median line with France, this large area is situated in deeper offshore waters within the English Channel.
These deeper waters are less affected by natural disturbance than those which are inshore, allowing a wide range of species to colonise the gravel undisturbed. The area is also important for rarer deep-water rocky habitats.
Ross worm 'reefs', known as biogenic reefs, are present here. Formed out of consolidated tubes of ross worms, these structures add additional complexity to the seafloor and encourage other marine species to live there.
This recommended Marine Conservation Zone is under consideration for the second tranche of MCZs
The site is important for protection of the rock habitats found within its boundary as they have limited distribution in the region.

I am trying to get the specific day of a Year.
Here's what I have tried till now:-
-- Declare few variables
DECLARE @Currentdate AS DATETIME
DECLARE @DueDate AS DATETIME
DECLARE @NewDate AS DATETIME
-- Set the variables properly, just for testing
SET @Currentdate = GETDATE()
SET @DueDate = DATEADD(MONTH, 2, DATEADD(YEAR, 1, @Currentdate))
-- Check the output
SELECT @Currentdate -- 2013-09-30 00:00:00.000
SELECT @DueDate -- 2014-11-30 00:00:00.000
So, I want to get the
@NewDate based on the
@Currentdate year.
For this I tried:-
SELECT @NewDate = DATEADD(DAY, DAY(DATEDIFF(day, 1, @DueDate)), DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, @Currentdate), 0))
SELECT @NewDate -- 2013-09-30 00:00:00.000
But it didn't worked. :(
My expected result is like:
-- 2013-11-30 00:00:00.000
-- Having the due date month and date same, but the year as current date one.
Any help is appreciated!
Sorry for all the confusion I have created. My question in simple words is:-
I want to get the a new date variable having the date and the month same as
@DueDate variable but the year as given in the
@Currentdate variable.
I hope that would clear things up a bit.

We can get anything we would like from at least 3 local vendors, and although they are also heavy into digital (and why not?) they carry a very nice supply of Ilford photo supplies at one, Kodak at another.
I can always get anything up to 4x5 but have to order larger sizes and I would, of course, need to use places like The View Camera Store (www.viewcamerastore.com) for ULF and odds and ends. This is no problem because their prices are better than the local places and have more knowledge about ULF and the like.
We still have 2 of the best color labs in the west as well and the ability to get wet color prints (c4) [but who would with all that lovely black and white out there ].

South Knoxville reports dot Watchful Eye on Violent Crimes for Sept. 16-23
KNOXVILLE — After seeing a downtown in reported activity during the last two weeks, South Knoxville once again was on the uptick, with 11 incidents being spotted in this week's Watchful Eye on Violent Crime.
Elsewhere, there were hot spots in Western Heights, along Broadway, and near the intersection of Cherry and Cecil.
One other oddity to note is a pair of reported assaults along Lovell Road, which doesn't usually factor in to the Violent Crime report.
As always, it's important to note that markers are placed by blocks and the structures on which they happen to fall are not the exact locations where the incidents occurred.
As part of our Watchful Eye initiative we look at a specific type of crime for Knoxville/Knox County throughout the previous seven days. On Mondays, we look at violent crimes including homicides and assaults. Tuesday the focus is property crime, Wednesday burglaries, Thursday drugs and alcohol, and Friday traffic.

Remember Me
Beck and his drummer-less, four-piece band offered a career-spanning set that included a
number of deep cuts. Hansen even covered the tour headliner Bob Dylan's "Nashville Skyline
Rag" with the help of Ryan Bingham fiddler Richard Bowden. The singer-songwriter ended his
set with a cover of "Sleepless Nights" by The Everly Brothers and his beloved "Where It's
Since Bob Dylan didn't bring out any guests last night, the onus was on Wilco, once again,
to foster collaboration and they didn't disappoint. Wilco has been showing off their
skills as an exceptional cover band ever since last month's "All-Request Set" at the Solid
Sound fest. Yesterday, Wilco brought out Beck for an exceptional five-song string that
ended their set. Beck and singer-songwriter Roger Manning emerged 11 songs into Wilco's
set for a cover of Big Star co-leader
Chris Bell's solo classic "I Am The Cosmos." Hansen stuck around for "California Stars"
before leading Wilco, Manning and members of NYC downtown scene fixtures Cibo
through his own breakthrough hit "Loser." All of Wilco's time backing other musicians this
tour paid dividends on the amazing version of "Loser."
Wilco ended their set with a pair of Beatles covers featuring not only Beck and Cibo Matto
but also Sean Lennon. John's son sat in with Jeff Tweedy and Co. on his father's "Yer
Blues" and "Tomorrow Never Knows." Beck played harmonica for the former and tambourine for
the latter. AmericanaramA moves on to Susquehanna Bank Center in
Camden, NJ tonight.

9AM Friday, interview with the big cheeses out there!! I'm pretty excited. I plan on arriving in the early morning Thursday to soak up the area, and leaving on Sat evening. Right now, I'm super excited!! I'm not sure it has all sunk in yet. By Wednesday I will be a stress mess (not nervous, I don't 'do' nervous).
Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated! Any locals with ideas on places to stay, check out, neighborhoods, etc- also appreciated. I'm kinda a yuppy city/suburbanite, so anywhere in the vicinity, particularly south side, since thats where the bread-winning job is. (a big thanks to Snowy who has already been a big help!)

Update: These new FastPass+ and MyMagic+ changes took effect Monday, April 28. Have you booked a fourth, fifth or sixth FastPass+ reservation? Let us know about your experience in comments below!
Big news today from Tom Staggs, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts about FastPass+ and MyMagic+. Disney is working on FastPass+ enhancements that will allow guests to have more than three FastPass+ reservations in a day AND give them the ability to make FastPass+ reservations in more than one park per day.
These are major updates that should continue to improve the park experience. As they were explained by Staggs, once guests have used the three FastPass+ reservations they've booked either via the My Disney Experience app or website, or in-park kiosk, they would be able to make another FastPass+ reservation via the kiosks in the parks.
"Once they've used the three they've booked, we'll enable them to select another at kiosks in the parks. And once they've used the fourth, they can select another, and so on."
By far, the single-biggest complaint we've read from guests who have used FastPass+ is that three reservations per day were not enough, and this goes a long way toward addressing this issue. Because those guests would already have to be in the park and have used their three reservations, it offers a fair way to make visiting the parks an even better experience. Of course, adding the extra FastPass+ reservations will be subject to availability, and we expect especially during busier times and later in the day, there will be limited availability if any. Still, this is a positive step in addition to the FastPass+ news reported last week.
As we mentioned, park guests not staying at a Disney resort now have the ability to make FastPass+ reservations up to 30 days in advance of their visit. Those guests also now have the option of purchasing MagicBands when they get to the parks if they choose for $12.95 plus tax. Resort guests continue to be able to book FastPass+ reservations up to 60 days in advance and receive MagicBands free with their resort reservation. MagicBands are optional, and just to remind everyone, our Disney tickets are 100% RFID and offer the SAME functionality as MagicBands, including the ability to book advance FastPass+ reservations.
What do you all think about the changes?
Hoppy planning!
