Along Came Trouble: A Loveswept Contemporary Romanceby Ruthie Knox
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LIBRARY JOURNAL • RITA finalist and bestselling author Ruthie Knox's Camelot series heats up in this sizzling novel featuring two headstrong souls who bump heads—and bodies—as temptation and lust bring nothing but delicious trouble.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LIBRARY JOURNAL • RITA finalist and bestselling author Ruthie Knox's Camelot series heats up in this sizzling novel featuring two headstrong souls who bump heads—and bodies—as temptation and lust bring nothing but delicious trouble.
An accomplished lawyer and driven single mother, Ellen Callahan isn't looking for any help. She's doing just fine on her own. So Ellen's more than a little peeved when her brother, an international pop star, hires a security guard to protect her from a prying press that will stop at nothing to dig up dirt on him. But when the tanned and toned Caleb Clark shows up at her door, Ellen might just have to plead the fifth.
Back home after a deployment in Iraq and looking for work as a civilian, Caleb signs on as Ellen's bodyguard. After combat in the hot desert sun, this job should be a breeze. But guarding the willful beauty is harder than he imagined—and Caleb can't resist the temptation to mix business with pleasure. With their desires growing more undeniable by the day, Ellen and Caleb give in to an evening of steamy passion. But will they ever be able to share more than just a one-night stand?
Praise for Along Came Trouble
"Knox's Camelot, Ohio, books showcase just what this author does best, create love stories that feature real people in situations that readers can understand and with which they can empathize. . . . Additionally, she writes absolutely smoking-hot love scenes! Her heroes and her heroines redeem and save each other. Love doesn't conquer all, but it makes life a whole lot sweeter."—Library Journal
"One of the reasons I so like [Ruthie Knox's] work is because [her] heroines are women I personally can relate to. . . . I've read Along Came Trouble twice and though I liked it on the first pass, I really liked it on the second. It's a smart, challenging, sexy, well-written book."—Dear Author
"Knox writes incredible romance, and this one is no exception. Readers will be mesmerized by the complex relationships woven into her tale. A fascinating hero who defines the word sexy, a heroine who is extremely likable and pitch-perfect dialogue all make this entry in the Camelot series an absolute must-read."—RT Book Reviews
"Contemporary romance readers will not want to miss the romantic, heart-felt emotion along with all the sexy, steamy goodness Ruthie Knox creates within the pages of About Last Night."—Fiction Vixen
"A great new voice in contemporary romance . . . hilarious, heartfelt, and hot."—New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristan Higgins
"I'll read anything by Ruthie Knox—her books are always sexy, funny, beautifully poignant, and honest."—Molly O'Keefe, bestselling author of Crazy Thing Called Love

Meet the Author
USA Today bestselling author Ruthie Knox writes contemporary romance that's sexy, witty, and angsty—sometimes all three at once. After training to be a British historian, she became an academic editor instead. Then she got really deeply into knitting, as one does, followed by motherhood and romance novel writing. Her debut novel, Ride with Me, is probably the only existing cross-country bicycling love story. She followed it up with About Last Night, a London-set romance whose hero has the unlikely name of Neville, and then Room at the Inn, a Christmas novella—both of which were finalists for the Romance Writers of America's RITA Award. Her four-book series about the Clark family of Camelot, Ohio, has won accolades for its fresh, funny portrayal of small-town Midwestern life. Ruthie moonlights as a mother, Tweets incessantly, and bakes a mean focaccia. She'd love to hear from you, so visit her website and drop her a line.

Another $350,000 is ready to be distributed from a fund to help the 58 people injured and the families of the 12 killed in the Century Aurora 16 shooting July 20.
But much more needs to be done, according to an announcement Friday by the 7/20 Recovery Committee, which is made up of volunteers from foundations, government and community organizations.
"Victims may have financial needs far greater than this initial monetary distribution, and this is one of many steps in providing support as victims continue to move through the healing process," the committee said.
Aurora Theater Shooting
- Read: Court documents related to the James Holmes case.
- Timeline: Shooting at Aurora movie theater.
- Map: Shooting scene, suspect's apartment, hospitals.
- View images of the victims of the Aurora theater shooting.
- View graphic layout of the Aurora theater shooting scene.
- View photo galleries related to the theater shooting.
- More videos: Aurora shooting video roundup.
- Full coverage: Stories, photos, video, more.
Many immediate needs have already been met, including help with memorial, funeral and cemetery expenses, as well as medical costs, lodging and transportation, legal services and financial planning, according to the committee.
Within a week of the shooting, Colorado's Community First Foundation, with the help of 10 established nonprofits, distributed $100,000 from the Aurora Victim Relief Fund, when more than $2 million had already been raised.
To date, donors have provided about $4.4 million.
"The generosity from the community and the entire country, it's been gratifying and inspiring to see that kind of compassion," Marla Williams, the president and chief executive of the Community First Foundation, said Friday. "We know we're only starting to scratch the surface of the needs of the victims. We know there are going to be intermediate and long-term needs and there will be a continuing need for additional donors."
Those who want to make a tax-deductible donation to the ongoing fund can go to the foundation's philanthropy website, GivingFirst.org.
The money is being distributed by the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance, which was attempting to contact each family affected by the shooting Friday.
The Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance can be reached at 800-261-2682. Crisis counselors remain available 24 hours a day through Aurora Mental Health at 303-617-2300.

I wrote a shell script that downloads a document.

echo "data downloaded."
The tricky part is that the document I want to load (2012_04_02_data.xls) is dated for the previous day. So I need to download the previous days data, not the current day.
My goal is to run the shell script without having to increment the calendar day each morning. Instead, the shell will take the current day and subtract one calendar day and then load that date within the url.
Thanks for the help!

Oklahoma basketball: OU women fall to Vanderbilt
NORMAN — Oklahoma's one healthy co-captain expressed disappointment in her team's lackluster effort Sunday.
"That's the number one thing we said, was to go out there and play hard and the game will come to us," said junior guard Morgan Hook. "I don't think as a team or as a whole we played as hard as we could have."
Oklahoma lost 76-63 to Vanderbilt inside Lloyd Noble Center, where the Sooners' improved second-half effort wasn't enough to overcome their staggering 15 first-half turnovers.
OU (8-2) trailed by 10 at the break, then came out of halftime with turnovers on its first two possessions.
Oklahoma pulled within nine of Vanderbilt twice after halftime — each coming on back-to-back jumpers by junior guard Aaryn Ellenberg with under four minutes left — but the Commodores increased their lead to 18 in short time.
Ellenberg led the Sooners with a game-high 21 points.
With just two games remaining before Big 12 play opens, the Sooners' active roster has withered to eight players following four season- or career-ending injuries since the preseason.
Two of the afflicted are Hook's co-captains — a lingering back injury forced junior Lyndsey Cloman to end her career before the season's first game, and senior guard Whitney Hand tore her ACL in last week's North Texas win.
"Our problem in the first half, despite the fact that we turned it over repeatedly, was that we just weren't guarding," said OU coach Sherri Coale. "We were trying to get back in the zone and just standing there.
"That is a reflection of just being caught up in the emotion of it all, trying to find your way out of it. ... That will get better. Over the holiday, as they have time on the floor together, it will improve dramatically."
Senior forward Joanna McFarland, who grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds, was one Sooner whose fervent effort Sunday was evident throughout the entire game.
McFarland missed six games last season with a broken jaw, and said it would be "disrespectful" to play with anything less full effort.
"This is my senior year, and I love these girls," McFarland said. "We have four people who can't play. So, every minute that you're on the court, you're representing them.
"To not play your heart out is disrespectful, and I didn't want to disrespect my teammates."
Oklahoma, which next plays Thursday at home against UC-Riverside, turned the ball over 20 times Sunday, resulting in 23 Vanderbilt points.
Four Commodores scored in double figures. Christina Foggie had 17 points to lead Vanderbilt (8-3).
"You just go in the gym every day and try to get better," Coale said when asked how the team can improve with its Jan. 2 conference opener looming.
"You pay attention to the things you can control. ... There are lots of things that we can control that we didn't do very well today."

The Stroller: 'Grateful'
Published: Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 13, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
Andrea Abraham of Spartanburg is amazed by the kindness of a stranger. "Kindness and integrity still exist," she says. "Recently my daughter left her ATM card in the machine outside Publix on East Main Street in Spartanburg. An incredibly honorable person not only retrieved the card and didn't attempt to use it but returned it to the issuing bank. How many people do you know would go to the trouble to drive and return the card to the bank? I am floored by this person's kindness. I hope you read The Stroller and see and know how truly grateful both I and my daughter are for going out of your way. Thank you."
HONORS: Rick Chapman of Boiling Springs encourages NASCAR fans to attend the Monday meeting of Spartanburg County Council at 5 p.m. and join council members in honoring two of the sport's greatest legends, Bud Moore and the late Cotton Owens. "They are going to rename a road in memory of Cotton and honor Bud for going into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America," says Mr. Chapman, the sport's biggest fan. "These guys have been pillars of the community, and I want all race fans to be there to show our appreciation." One more thing: "We still need our racetrack back at the fairground."
'A FUN TRIP': A busload of folks traveled with The Stroller to Washington, D.C., recently, and for Thelma and James Haile of Jonesville, it was an experience they're glad they didn't let slip away. "The Stroller and his wife, Debbie, did a great job taking care of this mature group. We had a wonderful time. The trip was well planned, and you made sure we were taken care of," the Hailes write. "All of the sights were easily accessible, and you got us back to our hotel in time for the happy hour or took us out to a nice place for dinner. In driving a bus for 24 years and going on many overnight trips with students, I have experienced many drivers, but Cindy Adams, the Cross Country driver for the Stroller trip, tops all of them. We didn't have to worry about being safe. We enjoyed seeing Mount Vernon, the Capitol, the National Cathedral. the Korean, Vietnam and World War II memorials, Arlington National Cemetery and all of the monuments to the presidents. It was a fun trip meeting new friends and the surprise of seeing our old friends, Pat and Jo Norungolo. Thanks again." Mrs. Haile took hundreds of photos during the trip, and you can view the gallery at www.GoUpstate.com/strollerDC.
ODDS AND ENDS: Volunteers are needed to donate an hour of their time to help take care of children of parents enrolled in The Haven's daily living skills program.

i like the style, it looks down right epic.
Neat use of perspective here! I especially dig the black accents, they add a Marvel-like feel to this drawing.
This reminds me of the old Lego Rock Raiders Game I used to play as a kid. Ah, good times, good times.
I loved that game! Too bad my new computer won't install it.
I actually never beat that game. I always would get close to the end, but then it would delete my saves.
next time i read before comment ....... -___-
lol it remember me some lego stuff when i was young ....
~TwisFavoriteQuill ..... you're faster than me ^^
~TwisFavoriteQuill ..... you're faster than me ^^
Rock Raiders yay
Oh wow, I remember these Lego sets! I had the walker mech!
The brown pony makes me think of a pony version of Engineer from Tf2
Love the comic book-esque inking you did as well as dat composition!
That is pretty dang awesome right there.
I really like the lighting and glow. The dark markings reminds me of a comi artist, but I can't remember who.
This is amazing. Well done Will. ^_^
this reminds me of a very old Lego commercial I watched one time.
good job though
good job though
I was just thinking about these the other day...perhaps i'll go grab a copy of the game.

Laser tattoo removal at Cincinnati- The best place to remove tattoo without any side effects
Laser tattoos have become a fashion statement everywhere. People love having tattoos of their favorite people, celebrities, loved ones and what not! But the difficulties arose when the items in their favorite list changed and these tattoos reminded them of their not so favorites. People started searching all possible and safe ways for laser tattoo removal in Cincinnati located at www.dermatologyandsurgery.com.
What is Laser tattoo removal actually?
The basic logic behind the solution for laser tattoo removal is using lasers. The lasers remove tattoos actually by breaking up the pigment colors of the existing tattoo with a light beam of very high intensity. As the black tattoo pigment can absorb all laser wavelengths, it becomes easier to treat the same using laser tattoo removal. The same thing can be done for other color tattoos, but is done with selected lasers depending upon the pigment color.
Who can go for this treatment?
There have not been many good methods of removing tattoos in the past. With the advent of laser tattoo removal in Cincinnati, there are a lot of people who can benefit from this. It is useful for patients who have already treated tattoos and for people who are willing to remove an existing tattoo. The previous methods of tattoo removal have left bad scars on patients who had unsuccessful tattoo removal treatments. They can switch to laser tattoo removal for better results.
What are the side effects?
Laser tattoo removal process and the number of visits may vary based on the depth of the tattoo and the area of treatment. It can be removed in just one visit or it may take many more. Laser tattoo removal doctors in Cincinnati also state few side effects on the skin during or after the treatment. They are
- The area of tattoo removal may minor infection.
- There are chances for lack of complete pigment removal but that is below 5%.
- There is a very less chance that the treatment may leave a permanent scar.
- The skin that is treated may get paler or darker than the skin that is surrounding this area of skin.
- Treatment of cosmetic tattoos like eyeliner, lip liner, and eyebrows may make the area darker following the treatment with laser tattoo removal.
- Continuous treatment of the darkened tattoos may actually result in fading.
Find the best doctor
Laser tattoo removal has become a safer and working method of treatment in Cincinnati, with the advancement in technology. It clears the tattoo mostly and leaves very little scare behind unlike the other modes of tattoo removal. To be on the safer side while you have a laser tattoo removal, you make sure you find a proper dermatologist or a cosmetic surgeon to ensure safe treatment and care. It is always better to obtain a recommendation from your family doctor in Cincinnati for the same. You may not want to risk your skin for getting treated from unknown or not so good doctors for laser tattoo removal. Whatever the laser tattoo removal treatment might be, it is always best to get a good consultation done before beginning the treatment, as this helps avoid the risk of taking a wrong treatment from a wrong person.

If you want your skin to look its best, you have to take certain steps to ensure it stays healthy. Secondly, you must protect your skin from the common mistakes that a lot of folks make that causes their skin to become dry and damaged. There are many mistakes you can make when taking care of your skin, and a lot of people harm their skin without realizing what they are doing wrong. In this report, we will try to make you aware of mistakes you could be making that will keep your skin from being as healthy as it can be.
Not only is smoking terrible for your health, it can also damage your skin. You can be sure that your skin will age much quicker and wrinkle faster if you smoke. Smoking causes your blood vessels to constrict, so less blood reaches the surface of your skin. Oxygen deprivation – and other nutrients that are important and can't reach your skin's surface – are two problems you will experience. The damage smoking does to your skin is a good enough reason to quit; however, this damage is carried on throughout your body. You can find many different avenues to take if you want to quit smoking and have not been able to do so on your own. Make an appointment with your doctor if you need help with this problem. He can send you in the right direction.
You have to keep your body hydrated by drinking enough water every day. If you don't, your health – and your skin – will show the results. Adequate hydration is important for every organ of your body and, especially, for your skin if you want it to be beautiful.
Two areas that are affected if you let yourself become dehydrated are the way you appear and the amount of energy you have. If you exercise a lot or if the weather is especially warm, you need to drink a lot of water even before you feel thirsty in order to be drinking an adequate amount. We all usually use some type of moisturizer on our skin; however, it's just as important to moisturize our whole bodies by drinking sufficient water.
Don't take a chance of compromising the health of your skin by overusing skin moisturizers. Use them when you need to, but don't get carried away. The big rule is to stay away from any skin care products that are formulated with harsh chemicals Natural and/or organic skin care products are your best choice for excellent skin care. Don't practice false economy by buying cheaper, low-quality products. Using healthy oils on your skin, such as coconut or olive oil is another option. If you have oily skin, or a skin condition such as acne, you most likely will only need a moisturizer periodically. All you'll be doing is aggravating the situation. Even if your skin is naturally dry, however, you should only use a moisturizer when your skin feels dry, not constantly. Using any product on your skin more than is necessary is never wise.
Your skin will look and feel much better if you remember to avoid the kind of mistakes discussed in this article. Caring for your skin isn't hard, but it does take regular effort and paying attention to your daily habits. Using the right products regularly, and avoiding ones that dry out or irritate your skin can help keep your skin moist and youthful looking.

New Coupon Accessories Now Available
Friday June 22 2012 20:52
Couponers do best when we're organized! That's why we are excited to announce that The CouponPro now carries helpful couponing accessories in our online store.
When you first start getting into couponing, the most important first step is to make sure you have the right couponing organization supplies ready. Once you have everything setup with an organizational system that works for you, couponing will take little time out of your day while saving you a lot of money!
Coupon Organization Supplies You Need:
- First you will need a coupon binder. But not just any binder will do! A coupon binder needs to be durable; just think of how often you will be carrying it with you to and from the store. It is also a good idea to get a binder that has a 3" ring (they hold more coupons).
- Coupon pocket pages. These are specialty pages that hold your printed coupons of varying sizes. Again, these should also be very durable because they will get used A LOT!
- Binder tabs you can write on and/or a label maker. Properly labeled coupon binder dividers are essential for any successful couponer. Not sure what labels you should use to organize your coupons? Let the CouponPro help! Our binder has ALL of the binder dividers you need, already included.
- Printer and paper to print coupons you find online!
Additional Coupon AccessoriesOnce you have the basics setup, it is also really helpful to have these 3 coupon accessories on-hand: a pair of scissors, a small calculator, and a small coupon wallet.
1. Keep a small pair of scissors tucked into a pocket of your coupon binder for last minute coupons you find at the store and want to clip out.
2. Also have a coupon calculator with you at all times so that you can quickly calculate and compare prices and work out how to maximize your savings.
3. A coupon wallet is less of an essential coupon accessory, but it can be very useful for couponers who have a very full and heavy coupon binder that they don't want to carry with them for quick trips to the store. A coupon wallet is a fashionable and convenient way to keep a smaller amount of coupons organized and easily at your fingertips.

In 2005, for example, CNOOC Ltd., a company mostly owned by the Chinese government tried to buy American oil producer Unocal. U.S. lawmakers worked to block the deal, asking President Bush to investigate the role the Chinese central government played in the process. Chevron Corp. eventually bought Unocal for $17.3 billion.
"There's a resistance to Chinese investment in (U.S.) oil and gas," Morningstar analyst Robert Bellinski says. "It's like how Japan was to us in the 1980s. People think they're going to take us over. They're going to buy all of our resources."
That's unlikely to happen. It doesn't make economic sense to export oil away from the world's largest oil consumer.
But the Chinese could make it tougher for Big Oil to generate returns for their shareholders. China's oil companies have been willing to outspend everyone and that drives up the price of fields and makes it more expensive for everyone to expand.
"You now have to outbid them," says Argus Research analyst Phil Weiss. "If you can't, you're going to have access to fewer assets."
Longer term, Chinese expansion globally will bring benefits to the U.S. and other economies. By developing as many oil wells as possible — especially in Africa, Iraq and other politically unstable regions — China will help expand supply.
"Frankly, the more risk-hungry producers there are, the more oil will be on the market, and the cheaper prices are," says Michael Levi, an energy policy expert at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Despite its swift expansion, PetroChina and other Chinese companies still have much to prove to investors, analysts say.
PetroChina's parent, China National Petroleum Corp., for example, has spent millions of dollars in Sudan to provide highways, medical facilities and shuttle buses for the elderly. Oil companies typically don't do that. All of that increases the cost of business and minimizes the returns for shareholders.
In 2009 and 2010, PetroChina's profit margins for its exploration and production business were only about two-thirds that of Exxon Mobil's. Its stock price has climbed less than 1 percent, in the past year, compared with a 3.7 percent rise in the stock of Exxon Mobil Corp.
"You have to ask yourself: What is the purpose of PetroChina?" Bellinski says. "It is to fuel China. That's it. Although they're a public company, I'm very skeptical that they have any interest in shareholder value creation."

For those of you who want to do it up this New Year's Eve and also want to score reservations before the last minute, the>"/>
For those of you who want to do it up this New Year's Eve and also want to score reservations before the last minute, the press releases for New Year?s Eve dinners continue to roll in. See this postfor last week?s list, which includes Canlis, Qube, and Rover's.
The Barking Frog in Woodinville is doing five courses, plus oysters and champagne, for $110 (plus tax and tip), or $160 for food plus wine pairings. Here?s one course: turbot with Pernod and fennel, beluga lentils, and lemon beurre blanc.
Barolo Restaurant is whipping up four courses? worth of New Year?s festivities. The prices of the prix-fixe menu vary with the entree chosen, ranging from scallops ($65) to lobster with risotto ($85) -- plus wine, tax, and tip, of course.
The BluWater Bistros (three in Seattle, one in Kirkland) and Belltown Bistro are offering perhaps the most affordable New Year?s Eve dinner on offer, at $39.95 (plus wine, tax, & tip). It?ll include filet mignon surf-and-turf, a chocolate ganache torte, and party favors. No, not those party favors. The South Lake Union location promises a great view of the midnight fireworks.
Cafe Amore in Belltown is hosting a New Year?s Eve Masquerade Ball. Eighty dollars (plus tax, tip, and booze) gets you a four-course meal centering around stuffed king crab legs or Misty Isle filet mignon, as well as a champagne split, a mask, burlesque performances, and a rockabilly band.
Earth & Ocean at the W is offering a three-course dinner. Sample items: foie gras torchon with grapefruit salad, pork tenderloin with farmer's cheese. If you want to make a whole night of it, the W Hotel is offering a package for $425 that includes party treats.
Joule is serving a four-course blowout, which -- shock and awe here -- is quite reasonably priced at $48 (plus tax and tip, includes champagne toast); it includes dishes like agnolotti with truffled house-made ricotta and potato-bacon cream and Kobe flat-iron steak with pickled mustard seeds and sweet miso Bordelaise sauce.
At Portage in Queen Anne, Chef Vuong Loc is serving a $55 four-course dinner (plus tax and tip, includes champagne toast), and if you'd like wine pairing you can tack that on for $25. Entrees include diver scallops with truffled cauliflower risotto and a strip loin with root-veg gratin.
Veil is doing a three-course dinner for $55 that takes you from beet and white asparagus salad (among other choices) to salted peanut-butter ice cream. Tack on another $45 per person and you can score yourself a glass of champagne as well as six oysters and some osetra caviar.

Kicking off the series Oct. 15 and 16 is the Innovations Conference, which will cover current trends and innovation in noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus prevention in children. Fifteen experts, representing the American Academy of Audiology, American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, the Boston Children's Hospital and many other leading institutions, will discuss state-of-the-art interventions and methodologies for effective hearing-loss prevention. Topics range from the "Joy of Hearing" and "Endangered Ears" to "Noise Hazards from Musical Equipment: Concerts, Cars, Cans and Kids."A free, public event on Oct. 16 – " How loud is your music?" – aims to raise awareness of the sound levels and durations that can cause permanent hearing loss when listening to music. The event features 20 teams from Minnesota and across the U.S., who will each build a "Jolene." Jolene is a mannequin that measures sound levels of music devices. Parents and children can watch teams create the mannequins, have their personal music players tested, and learn more about how loud music effects hearing and earphone choices. The event is open to all ages. Attendees are encouraged to stop in anytime between 6:30 and 9:30 p.m., and bring their iPods, MP3 players and other personal music players. "Recent studies indicate that 90 percent of 12 to19 year olds listen to music through earphones and that nearly 30 percent are at risk for hearing loss due to the levels at which they are listening," said William Martin, Ph.D., Oregon Health & Science University. "Our concern is that the vast majority of users have no idea what sound levels and durations are safe or dangerous to their ears." "Repeated exposure to loud sounds, greater than 85 dBA, can cause permanent hearing loss and tinnitus," said Division Scientist Elliott Berger, 3M. "Our goal is that through educational, hands-on activity, we can teach our youth about the impacts that listening to loud music can have on their long-term hearing."

Where can I find a history on the history of development of gearing?
Deraiulers where developed in the 30's (I think) and different systems where tried.
In particular, I was wondering how long the 5 cogs freewheel lasted.
If I'm right it was for a long time in comparrison to todays rush through 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 cogsets.
Has the 6 - 10 cogs rush been in the last 15 years and did the 5 speed freewheel last about 25 years? Or, was the 5 cogset just another system that lasted in popularity about the same amount of time as any other system?
If I remember right when I was reading The Yellow Jersey, there was a passage about a race in which there was a discription of shifting through the 5 cogs and that book took place in the 60's (or am I off there too?)

When you uninstalled iTunes, did you uninstall iTunes and all of its components as described here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923? If you don't follow this guide it will not work.
JGreg7 Mar 17, 2012 7:57 PM
in response to randers4
I removed everything as the article states, however when it came time to reinstall, I went to the Apple website and clicked download. It went into the install mode from there. No options.
An interesting note however, iTunes syncs perfectly with Outlook on another account on the same computer, just not mine.
I now suspect it must be a corrupt file somewhere, I just don't know where to start deleting.
ChrisJ4203 Mar 17, 2012 8:06 PM
in response to JGreg7
Generally I find the corrupt file is from a bad appointment. Do you recall setting an appointment about the time this started happening. Have you tried to run the scanpst file on your Outlook file. Scanpst.exe resides in the main Microsoft Office folder. You should be able to do a search of your computer and locate it. Then you also need to know where your Outlook data file is. It ends in .pst. After running the scanpst file, it should repair problems that you might have. Also, make sure you have applied all of the updates to your Outlook. I have successfully synced with Outlook 2003, 2007 and now with 2010. If the scanpst does not help, then try putting the calendar into detail view and see if you can see something wrong with an appointment. There used to be a problem with recurring appointments with no end date, but I believe that was corrected in a newer iOS update. Some thought it had something to do with the older version of Outlook.
The last thing you can do is to export your outlook.pst file and save it on the desktop. Then go into Outlook and create the new data file by opening the exported file. That might correct it if nothing else does.
JGreg7 Mar 19, 2012 6:57 AM
in response to ChrisJ4203
I think you are on the right track...
I have not changed or added any appointments since the problem started.
The problem started when I upgraded from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2010. I have changed back to Outlook 2007 since it seems to work in the firums (but not for me).
I deleted all of the calendar content, and put in one test appointment, this appointemnt synchronized properly.
Re-importing my calendar data, it does not sync.
I also tried to synce with data no older than 1 day - no luck.
Summary: The existing calendar data syncs with Outlook 2003 and iTunes, but not with Outlook 2007 and iTunes.
Is there any data on an outlook appoinmnet type that would prevent synching?
ChrisJ4203 Mar 19, 2012 2:42 PM
in response to JGreg7
Generally it tends to be a recurring appointment with no end date. I upgraded from 2007 to 2010 sometime back and did not have a problem. Obviously from your test there is a bad appointment, since importing the old data seems to replicate your problem. Maybe you could try creating a new calendar, put an appointment in it and see if that calendar syncs. In iTunes, just select that single calendar to sync and see if that works. If it does, then try moving a month of appointments at a time and see where it stops syncing. That could help identify it. You don't mention if you tried the scanpst.exe fix, did you? How many appointments are you talking about having to re-enter if you cannot get the sync to work? If it isn't too many, it might be worth just deleting the calendar and starting over.
JGreg7 Mar 19, 2012 2:50 PM
in response to ChrisJ4203
I will look for open-ended recurring and see if that is it.
I have been using Outlook for a calendar since the mid-1990's and all of my data is in there (it tends to be useful for finding out what date something happened in the past), although I typically only sync the last 30 days in the iPhone.
I did run the scanpst, and it did find "errors" which it "fixed", however I have not idea what it actually did.
It is just curious that the same data synced perfectly with Outlook 2003.
ChrisJ4203 Mar 19, 2012 3:05 PM
in response to JGreg7
I have also used Outlook for a long time. I also teach Office classes at a community college, one of the reasons I like to understand when people have problems. It is especially interesting to me since I have an iPhone and many of my students do as well, and I like to be able to handle any problems I can. I have found that many times moving an Outlook data file from an older to newer format can cause issues. I have tried a number of different things in the past to try and get around problems. I have archived an Outook file, then deleted the current Outlook file and imported the archive. Sometimes things that drastic will work. Up to you how far you want to go with it, but you can try to export your entire Outlook file, close Outlook, delete your Outlook.pst file and then open Outlook and import the backup you made. However, if you have a lot of calendar entries to replace, you might not want to try that. The next thing is how do you have your auto-archive set up? How much of your calendar is not in the archinve file? You should only really have a little more than 30 days of data in your calendar anyway, 90 at the most. If there are not that many entries there, you can always try and delete them and re-enter.
JGreg7 Mar 20, 2012 6:45 AM
in response to ChrisJ4203
Thank you for your help,
My misery started when I upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2010 since excel failed to print (unrelated). The existing calendar data syncs with Outlook 2003 and iTunes, but not with Outlook 1010 or 2007 and iTunes.
When I tried to sync Outlook 2010 with the then, unchanged iTunes that was currently installed, the calendar sync failed - nothing was transferred. At that point the current calendar was in the computer, and the week out of date calendar in the iPhone.
After searching this issue for a while, I found no real help, but did find several instances where Outlook 2010 was not compatible with iTunes. In an effort to resolve this issue, I removed Office 2010, and installed office 2007 which purportedly would work (at least according to multiple posts).
I have not changed or added any appointments since the problem started. They are all the same that successfully worked with Outlook 2003.
So far I have done the following:
- Restored the outlook.pst file and setting files to the new Outlook installation to maintain the settings. This kept all of the original Calendar data. Sync was unsuccessful.
- I deleted all of the calendar content from Outlook 2007, and put in one test appointment, this single appointment synchronized properly. I added in a few calendar items into the new calendar from an exported old calendar which I opened and then transferred the appointments by drag/drop. Sync was unsuccessful.
- I deleted the entire Outlook profile from the control panel, created a new profile, imported a few calendar items to test. Sync was unsuccessful.
- Re-importing some of my calendar data, and sync with data no older than 1 day (iTunes setting). Sync was unsuccessful.
- I have cleaned out all of the recurring appointments, all unusual appointments. All of the files have been scanned with ScanPST multiple times. There were a few errors at first, but they are all clean now. Sync was unsuccessful.
All of the calendar data is contained in the outlook.pst file. I do not use the built-in archive feature for anything (had bad luck with it many years ago). I periodically export my data to organized pst files that I can go back and look at as needed. I also have multiple pst files for mail for different projects. The calendar however is in the main outlook.pst file (plus backups over the years)
I am completely out of ideas as to what could be causing outlook to fail synching. It is exactly the same data that had no trouble syncing with Office 2003 installed.
What am I missing here?
Jakemagic Apr 11, 2012 7:37 PM
in response to ChrisJ4203
This fixed it for me. I located and deleted recently changed or added recurring appointments and that fixed the problem.

This was my resolution - no data lost:
- verified iTunes had a recent backup of my iPhone 4s. (in iTunes, under "Devices" right-clicked on iPhone and then clicked "Backup".
- in iTunes, under "Devices" right-clicked on iPhone and then clicked "Restore from Backup".
- As normal, when there was a conflict between contacts, chose which device I wanted to use (Outlook or iPhone).
- Performed regular sync (since when prompted I elected to wait in step above).
Only problem was one recurring, all-day event that duplicated itself. Deleted duplicate event and all is fine. Two-way communication restored.
Specifics: iPhone 4s, Windows XP, Outlook 2003, only problem was syncing iPhone calendar to Outlook. Notes, contacts, etc, worked fine.

Fantastic thread! Thanks. My iphone 4 and my iPod had both stoppped syncing with OUtlook 2010 Calendar and I thought I'd tried everything. The recurring appointmment without end date was the solution and as soon as I corrected that everything behaved properly.
Well done and thanks again.
JerryK75 Dec 14, 2012 9:26 AM
in response to JGreg7
Thank you!! Thank You!! Thank You!!! This thread solved my long standing calendar sync problem. I deleted all my non ending recurring calendar entries such as my monthly mortgage payment and credit card payment due date entries on both my desktop calendar and my iphone calendar and it synced right away. No data lost except I don't have my recurring items. I guess I will just have to remember to pay my mortgage every month. Absolutely a great thread. Thank you.

Japan Stocks Fall to Lowest Since 2009 on U.S. Deficit, Exports
Japanese stocks fell for a second day, sending the Topix Index and Nikkei 225 to their lowest closes since March 2009, on speculation a U.S. congressional committee will fail to reach an agreement on deficit-cutting measures and after a report showed Japanese exports fell.
Honda Motor Co., a carmaker that gets 83 percent of its sales abroad, retreated 2.2 percent. Elpida Memory Inc., a producer of computer-memory chips, led a drop among chipmakers after Japan's exports dropped more than expected, dragged down by declines in semiconductors and ships. Osaka Securities Exchange Co. rose 1.8 percent after a newspaper reported the bourse will announce a merger agreement with Tokyo Stock Exchange Group Inc. tomorrow.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average fell 0.3 percent to 8,348.27 as of the 3 p.m. close of trading in Tokyo, the lowest close since March 31, 2009. The Topix Index dropped 0.4 percent to 717.08, the lowest close since March 12, 2009.
"There's likely to be a continuing impasse and people will focus on the stability of the U.S. politically," said Tim Schroeders, who helps manage $1 billion in equities at Pengana Capital Ltd. in Melbourne. "People will probably sit on the sideline and wait for clarity."
The value of shares traded on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange fell to the second lowest this year, after the bourse today shortened the trading lunch break by half an hour to boost transactions. The value dropped to 757 billion yen ($9.9 billion) today, compared to 729 billion on Nov. 15, the lowest since December.
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 0.7 percent today. The index was little changed in New York on Nov. 18.
'Daunting Challenge'
The U.S. congressional debt-reduction committee faces a "daunting challenge" as its 12 members seek to bridge gulfs over taxes and spending by a Nov. 23 deadline, Texas Representative Jeb Hensarling, the Republican co-chairman, said yesterday. Time is running out for a plan to carve at least $1.2 trillion off the federal budget, he said.
"The market continues to be in a downtrend as nothing has changed since last week," said Yoshinori Nagano, a senior strategist in Tokyo at Daiwa Asset Management Co., which oversees about $120 billion. "Speculation is mounting that the U.S. may end up putting off the deficit issue. The market's tide won't change unless something new comes out of Europe."
German Economy Minister Philipp Roesler said the European Central Bank isn't responsible for buying the region's debt because the European Financial Stability Facility was put in place to help countries reduce interest rates on their debt. Roesler made the comments in an interview with German newspaper Schleswig-Holstein am Sonntag.
Honda, Sony
Carmakers and electronic-equipment makers were the biggest drags on the Topix. Honda dropped 2.2 percent to 2,153 yen. Toyota Motor Corp., the world's biggest carmaker by market value, fell 2.6 percent to 2,385 yen. Sony Corp., Japan's No. 1 exporter of consumer electronics, slid 2.8 percent to 1,266 yen, while Panasonic Corp., the nation's top producer of consumer electronics by market value, lost 2 percent to 672 yen.
Exports Drop
Chipmakers and shippers fell after a report showed Japan's exports declined 3.7 percent last month from a year earlier. The median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was for a 0.3 percent drop. Exports of semiconductors plunged 21 percent and those of ships slid 32 percent last month.
Elpida dropped 7.3 percent to 319 yen, and Advantest Corp., a maker of memory-chip testers, lost 4.5 percent to 810 yen. Nippon Yusen K.K., Japan's biggest shipping line by sales, fell 3 percent to 161 yen, and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd., No. 2 in the sector, slid 6.9 percent to 228 yen.
The Topix has lost about 6 percent this month amid concern Europe's debt crisis is spreading to Italy and Spain, damping the earnings outlook for Japan's exporters. The decline has cut the price of shares on the index to 0.86 times estimated book value, the lowest level since March 2009.
Osaka Securities Exchange and the Tokyo Stock Exchange agreed to merge and are set to announce the deal tomorrow, the Nikkei newspaper reported.
The combination would give the 133-year-old Tokyo bourse access to Osaka's derivatives trading system and may create the world's seventh-largest exchange company by share value. Osaka Securities gained 1.8 percent to 421,000 yen.
Olympus Corp., the scandal-hit optical-equipment maker, jumped by its daily limit to 725 yen after Yoshinobu Tsutsui, president of Nippon Life Insurance Co., said Japan's biggest life insurer will continue to support the firm. Nippon Life and a subsidiary earlier cut their combined stake in Olympus to 5.11 percent from 8.18 percent, according to a Nov. 17 filing with Japan's finance ministry.

Understanding History for Teaching: A Study of the Historical Understanding of Prospective Teachers
G. Williamson Mcdiarmid Michigan State University
Current reform proposals and policies in teacher education are intended to increase the subject matter knowledge of prospective teachers. Reformers and policymakers assume that increasing the number of subject matter courses prospective teachers take and, concomitantly, decreasing the number of teacher education courses will result in teachers who know more about their subject matter for the purpose of teaching.
This assumption is largely unexamined. Despite years of research on student learning in college, researchers -- except for a few in the sciences and mathematics (see, for example, Arons, 1990; Champagne, Gunstone, & Klopfer, 1985; Clement, 1982; Clement, Lochhead, & Monk, 1981; Maestre & Lochhead, 1983; Maestre, Gerace, & Lochhead, 1982; McDermott, 1984; Schoenfeld, 1985) -- have paid little attention to the kinds of knowledge and understanding students develop in specific subject matters ( Ball, 1988; Holt, 1990). Scholars in the arts and science disciplines are rewarded for furthering knowledge in their fields, not for studying their students' learning and refining their pedagogy accordingly.
