Your body needs calcium to keep your bones dense and strong. Low bone density can cause your bones to become brittle and fragile. These weak bones can break easily, even without an obvious injury.
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Eat foods that provide the right amounts of calcium, vitamin D, and protein. This kind of diet will give your body the building blocks it needs to make and maintain strong bones.
How Much Calcium and Vitamin D Do I Need?
Amounts of calcium are given in milligrams (mg), and vitamin D is given in international units (IU).
All adults under age 50 should have:
- 1,000 mg of calcium daily
- 400 to 800 IU of vitamin D daily
Adults age 51 and older should have:
- Women: 1,200 mg of calcium daily
- Men: 1,000 mg of calcium daily
- Men and women: 800 to 1,000 IU of vitamin D daily
Calcium and Dairy Products
Milk and dairy products are the best sources of calcium. They contain a form of calcium that your body can absorb easily. Choose yogurts, cheeses, and buttermilk.
Adults should choose fat-free (skim) milk or low-fat (2% or 1%) milk, and other lower fat dairy products. Removing some of the fat does not lower the amount of calcium in a dairy product.
- Yogurt, most cheeses, and buttermilk come in fat-free or low-fat versions.
- Vitamin D helps your body use calcium, which is why vitamin D is often added to milk.
If you eat very few or no dairy products, you can find calcium in other foods. It is often added to orange juice, soy milk, tofu, ready-to-eat cereals, and breads. Check the labels on these foods for added calcium.
Other Sources of Calcium
Green leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, collards, kale, mustard greens, turnip greens, and bak choy (Chinese cabbage), also spelled "bok" choy, are good sources of calcium.
Other good food sources of calcium are:
- Salmon and sardines that are canned with their bones (you can eat these soft bones)
- Almonds, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, tahini (sesame paste), and dried beans
- Blackstrap molasses
Other tips to make sure your body can use the calcium in your diet:
- Cook high-calcium vegetables in a small amount of water for the shortest possible time. They will retain more calcium this way.
- Be careful about what you eat with calcium-rich foods. Certain fibers, such as wheat brain and foods with oxalic acid (spinach and rhubarb), can prevent your body from absorbing calcium.
Your doctor may recommend a calcium or vitamin D supplement for the calcium and vitamin D you need.

Question details
I've got a small plot in a community garden, and I'm having trouble with my green bean plants. It seems something keeps nibbling on them. I'm fairly sure it's not bugs or slugs, so I'm assuming rabbits or squirrels (or maybe rats?).
What can I do, organically, to let the beans grow up so I can eat them instead.
If it were my neighborhood in the Idaho mountains, I would guess small rabbits. We see them at all hours of the day - not particularly nocturnal. I have had pretty good luck deterring animals from my gardens with a light sprinkling of hot Cayenne pepper at traffic entrance points. I take it your bean plants are still small? If it were deer, they are dusk & dawn grazers & can do quite delicate damage. You can lay out nursery flats in the walking areas, since the deer I have met will avoid *bad* footing ...

The Giants emerged as Super Bowl winners on Sunday, ending the 2011-2012 season. Pretty good considering that this season was close to not happening at all.
It is never too early to look towards the future, especially for the NFL. Now, instead of worrying about lockouts, we can start worrying about the draft and how our team will do next year.
This article is really going to be some crystal ball kind of guesses, because we never really know how teams will perform. Heck, I had the Bucs going to the second round of the playoffs!
We will start with the AFC and go down the line from there.

In Our Defense: The Bill of Rights in Actionby Caroline Kennedy Ellen Alderman
We The People The Bill of Rights defines and defends the freedoms we enjoy as Americans -- from the right to bear arms to the right to a civil jury. Using the dramatic true stories of people whose lives have been deeply affected by such issues as the death penalty and the right to privacy, attorneys Ellen Alderman and Caroline Kennedy reveal how the majestic principles of the Bill of Rights have taken shape in the lives of ordinary people, as well as the historic and legal significance of each amendment. In doing so, they shed brilliant new light on this visionary document, which remains as vital and as controversial today as it was when a great nation was newly born.
Jacqueline Kennedyby Caroline Kennedy
In 1964, Jacqueline Kennedy recorded seven historic interviews about her life with John F. Kennedy. Now, for the first time, they can be read in this deluxe, illustrated eBook.Shortly after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, with a nation deep in mourning and the world looking on in stunned disbelief, Jacqueline Kennedy found the strength to set aside her own personal grief for the sake of posterity and begin the task of documenting and preserving her husband's legacy. In January of 1964, she and Robert F. Kennedy approved a planned oral-history project that would capture their first-hand accounts of the late President as well as the recollections of those closest to him throughout his extraordinary political career. For the rest of her life, the famously private Jacqueline Kennedy steadfastly refused to discuss her memories of those years, but beginning that March, she fulfilled her obligation to future generations of Americans by sitting down with historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., and recording an astonishingly detailed and unvarnished account of her experiences and impressions as the wife and confidante of John F. Kennedy. The tapes of those sessions were then sealed and later deposited in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum upon its completion, in accordance with Mrs. Kennedy's wishes.The resulting eight and a half hours of material comprises a unique and compelling record of a tumultuous era, providing fresh insights on the many significant people and events that shaped JFK's presidency but also shedding new light on the man behind the momentous decisions. Here are JFK's unscripted opinions on a host of revealing subjects, including his thoughts and feelings about his brothers Robert and Ted, and his take on world leaders past and present, giving us perhaps the most informed, genuine, and immediate portrait of John Fitzgerald Kennedy we shall ever have. Mrs. Kennedy's urbane perspective, her candor, and her flashes of wit also give us our clearest glimpse into the active mind of a remarkable First Lady.In conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of President Kennedy's Inauguration, Caroline Kennedy and the Kennedy family are now releasing these beautifully restored recordings on CDs with accompanying transcripts. Introduced and annotated by renowned presidential historian Michael Beschloss, these interviews will add an exciting new dimension to our understanding and appreciation of President Kennedy and his time and make the past come alive through the words and voice of an eloquent eyewitness to history.
Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedyby Michael Beschloss Caroline Kennedy
While reading Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. 's interviews of Jacqueline Kennedy, readers will be able to go back in time 50 years, and feel like they are part of a conversation between two old friends. The text includes complete transcripts of Jacqueline's interviews that allows readers a window into an important time in American history; it also has accompanying annotations from leading presidential historian Michael Beschloss which informs readers on political details of the era.
Listening In: The Secret White House Recordings of John F. Kennedyby Caroline Kennedy Ted Widmer
In July 1962, in an effort to preserve an accurate record of Presidential decision-making in a highly charged atmosphere of conflicting viewpoints, strategies and tactics, John F. Kennedy installed hidden recording systems in the Oval Office and in the Cabinet Room. The result is a priceless historical archive comprising some 265 hours of taped material. JFK was elected president when Civil Rights tensions were near the boiling point, and Americans feared a nuclear war. Confronted with complex dilemmas necessitating swift and unprecedented action, President Kennedy engaged in intense discussion and debate with his cabinet members and other advisors. Now, in conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of the Kennedy presidency, the John F. Kennedy Library and historian Ted Widmer have carefully selected the most compelling and important of these remarkable recordings for release, fully restored and re-mastered onto two 75-minute CDs for the first time. Listening In represents a uniquely unscripted, insider account of a president and his cabinet grappling with the day-to-day business of the White House and guiding the nation through a hazardous era of uncertainty.Accompanied by extensively annotated transcripts of the recordings, and with a foreword by Caroline Kennedy, Listening In delivers the story behind the story in the unguarded words and voices of the decision-makers themselves. Listening In covers watershed events, including the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Space Race, Vietnam, and the arms race, and offers fascinating glimpses into the intellectual methodology of a circumspect president and his brilliant, eclectic brain trust. Just as the unique vision of President John F. Kennedy continues to resonate half a century after his stirring speeches and bold policy decisions, the documentary candor of Listening In imparts a vivid, breathtaking immediacy that will significantly expand our understanding of his time in office.
The Right to Privacyby Caroline Kennedy Ellen Alderman
Can the police strip-search a woman who has been arrested for a minor traffic violation? Can a magazine publish an embarrassing photo of you without your permission? Does your boss have the right to read your email? Can a company monitor its employees' off-the-job lifestyles--and fire those who drink, smoke, or live with a partner of the same sex? Although the word privacy does not appear in the Constitution, most of us believe that we have an inalienable right to be left alone. Yet in arenas that range from the battlefield of abortion to the information highway, privacy is under siege. In this eye-opening and sometimes hair-raising book, Alderman and Kennedy survey hundreds of recent cases in which ordinary citizens have come up against the intrusions of government, businesses, the news media, and their own neighbors. At once shocking and instructive, up-to-date and rich in historical perspective, The Right to Private is an invaluable guide to one of the most charged issues of our time."Anyone hoping to understand the sometimes precarious state of privacy in modern America should start by reading this book."--Washington Post Book World"Skillfully weaves together unfamiliar, dramatic case histories...a book with impressive breadth."--TimeFrom the Trade Paperback edition.
Rose Kennedy's Family Albumby Caroline Kennedy
A selection of more than 300 images collected by Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, many never seen before, featuring the beloved and revered Kennedy family: This remarkable history dates from 1878 through 1946--up to the aftermath of WWII and the beginning of JFK's political career--and covers everything from the family's first home to beach vacations, from children's birthdays to first Communions. The images capture the formative years of a uniquely American dynasty, imparting a glowing nostalgia to the period and detailing the family's progress as it grows from a pair of turn-of-the-century newlyweds into a populous, vibrant clan of hopeful young men and women on the brink of their brilliant destinies. This is a piece of Americana that readers will treasure.

Alan Jones slur backlash could be short-lived
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- October 04, 2012
THE exodus of advertisers from Alan Jones' breakfast show has been tipped at costing 2GB as much as $80,000 per day.
But branding experts suggest the pain for the radio network may be short-lived, claiming advertisers would soon flood back to appease the radio host's large and "loyal army of supporters".
One person who won't be back is Prime Minister Julia Gillard. After Jones told a Sydney University Liberal Club function last month Ms Gillard's father John "died of shame" over his daughter's political "lies", Ms Gillard confirmed yesterday she would boycott the program.
"No, I would not appear. I haven't spoken to Mr Jones and I don't intend to. The only thing I want to say is this: Both I and my family have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for us since the death of my father."
Since the start of this week, dozens of the nation's best known companies including McDonald's, Slater & Gordon, Mazda and Ford Australia have either suspended or terminated their relationship with the program.
One of the country's top branding experts, Richard Sauerman from Brandising, said it was only a matter of time before advertisers returned: "He has thousands of people who diligently listen to his program every day.
"It seems many have now lobbied the advertisers who pulled from the show this week to tell them they would boycott their products.
"If you're a company, you're going to be watching this carefully and hoping to wait for the furore to die down before realigning yourself with his program."
A senior source at 2GB last night said, despite the station opening up the airways hoping to receive both positive and negative criticism of Jones's actions, only two out of 50 listeners had said they wouldn't listen again.
John Laws' appearance on the ABC's 7.30 show to talk about Alan Jones sparked a wave of praise, mockery and criticism.
A 30-second ad on Alan Jones' breakfast program is believed to cost $500 to $750, with a live read by the host costing another $1000.
Under the Commercial Radio Codes of Practice, a station can broadcast up to 18 minutes of advertising per hour. That means the sum at risk for the 3 1/2-hour Jones program could be around $80,000 a day.
Damian Borchok, chief executive of brand consultancy Interbrand Australia said the problem with Alan Jones was his extremes.
"You're always going to get people polarised with him," Mr Borchok said.
"It's whether those extremities have a short-term or a long-term impact."
Fusion media analyst Steve Allen agreed, saying while advertisers from the "big end of town" couldn't afford to be associated, the storm was unlikely to last.

"Closed-end fund (CEF) investing is still a corner of the market where a manager has the opportunity to add alpha over an index, by way of their efforts in research and analysis." – Michael Fabian, Managing Partner
Key Points:
- Designed for aggressive income investors.
- Unique and exclusive combination of closed-end funds.
- Portfolio changes governed by fundamental premium/discount analysis.
- Targets high yield, liquidity, and unconventional returns.
FMD Capital Management has designed its Dynamic CEF Income Portfolio to take advantage of the inefficiencies that commonly occur in the CEF marketplace. It's been proven that meaningful alpha can be generated by more than just purchasing an undervalued fund, but also through superior ongoing management and investment philosophy. Investors should remember that CEFs should not be viewed as a single asset class, but as a vehicle with specific set of goals and objectives.
Premium/Discount Analysis
The backbone of our CEF strategy is monitoring a fund's price vs. its net asset value (NAV). CEFs can trade at discounts or premiums for their entire life depending on a multitude of factors including management team, strategy, leverage ratio, asset class, corporate actions, expenses, yield, size, retail or institutional investor interest. So when formulating our overarching investment thesis, we weight the factors to decipher the attractiveness of a particular fund's market price in relation to its NAV.
FMD Capital's selection profile includes funds managed by well-respected teams trading near their NAVs, or at modest discounts and that offer an alpha seeking strategy that can't reasonably be recreated using low-cost ETFs. We seek to increase exposure to funds that are trading below their trailing twelve-month average premium or discount, and reduce exposure to funds trading above their trailing twelve-month average premium or discount. We can use this inherent feature of CEFs to our advantage, by not selling during times of distress or buying during times of euphoria – since both can occur quite often in response to interest rate or equity market volatility.
We also favor funds that have a positive UNII and NII, otherwise known as undistributed net investment income and net-investment income. This means their portfolio generates more cash flow than what the board has elected to distribute to shareholders. Another critical consideration is a fund's use of leverage, since the leverage ratio will both amplify positive and negative returns. We lean towards funds that employ a responsible amount of leverage that is borrowed at attractive rates, making for a more meaningful spread from the cost of borrowing and potential return of the CEF's portfolio. The factors that don't weigh particularly high in our decision making process are a fund's size, or yield, as our fundamental research indicates these factors don't contribute significantly to a fund's chances for strong NAV performance and total return over the long-term.
Watch List
To pass the ultimate test for a CEF to be admitted into our portfolio, we typically monitor every prospective fund for at least 90-180 days. This is particularly important for newly issued CEF IPOs, since limited trading history can lead to erratic market price movement if market volatility rises. This time also gives us the ability to wait for semi-annual or annual reports to be made available, which allows us to glean portfolio composition and earnings to decipher exactly what the managers prevailing strategy is in relation to the board's distribution rate. Watching a CEF's price movement over time is of vital importance to establish a baseline for trading activity and portfolio turnover.
Entering and exiting CEFs can be tricky, mainly because of liquidity constraints. At FMD Capital Management, we monitor the average daily volume of every fund within our portfolio; that way we know the reasonable number of shares we can move in a single day. If we decide to begin building a position in a particular CEF, we set a target on how large the position should ultimately be, then break it into several purchases; that way you are spreading our trading risk over time. Reductions to existing positions are typically handled in the same fashion to mitigate liquidity risks.
Through our relationship with TD Ameritrade Institutional, we have several algorithm based trading programs at our disposal. This allows us to make purchases throughout the day based on factors such as volume or time, and not rely exclusively on limit orders to enter or exit positions. We are very mindful of expanding or reducing holdings without affecting the market price on a single day. In addition, when we do make a change to the portfolio as a whole, all of our CEF clients get the same average price for the entire trade execution.
The right mix of income-generating CEFs and the expertise to navigate through any market condition are the two critical components of the Dynamic CEF Income Portfolio.
To learn more about our Dynamic CEF Income Portfolio strategy and fees simply Contact Us today or download our special report: The Leveraged Income and Alpha Strategy. Our minimums for this portfolio start at just $100,000.

Country singer Travis Tritt brings his latest acoustic tour to the Capitol Theatre in downtown Clearwater's Cleveland Street District on Tuesday, February 19 at 7:30 pm. Tickets go on sale Saturday, September 8 at noon at the Ruth Eckerd Hall Ticket Office. Special guest Lyndsey Highlander will open the show.
Travis Tritt was one of the leading new country singers of the early '90s, holding his own against Garth Brooks, Clint Black, and Alan Jackson. He was the only one not to wear a hat and the only one to dip into bluesy Southern rock. Consequently, he developed a gutsy, outlaw image that distinguished him from the pack. Throughout the early '90s, he had a string of platinum albums and Top Ten singles, including three #1 hits.
Tritt fell in love with music as a child, teaching himself how to play guitar when he was eight and beginning to write songs when he was 14. In 1982, Tritt began his pursuit of a music career by recording a demo tape at a private studio which was owned by Danny Davenport, who happened to be an executive at Warner Brothers. Davenport heard the vocalist's songs and was impressed, deciding to take Tritt under his wing. For the next several years, the pair recorded demo tapes while Tritt played the honky tonk circuit. The singer was developing a distinctive sound, adding elements of country-rock and Southern rock to his honky tonk.
Partway through in 1989, Warner Brothers' Nashville division signed Tritt, and his debut album, Country Club, appeared in the stores in the spring 1990. It was preceded by the Top Ten hit, Country Club. Upon the release of his debut album, Tritt entered the first ranks of new country singers. His next two singles, Help Me Hold On and I'm Gonna Be Somebody, hit #1 and #2 respectively. Put Some Drive in Your Country, which had a clear rock & roll influence, stalled at #4, since radio programmers were reluctant to feature such blatantly rock-derived music.
Tritt had a breakthrough success with his second album, 1991's It's All About to Change - went into multi-platinum territory. T-r-o-u-b-l-e, Tritt's third album, was released in 1992 and featured the #1 single, Can I Trust You With My Heart, and went gold. Tritt came back in 1994 with Ten Feet Tall & Bulletproof, which went platinum, spawned the #1 single Foolish Pride, and marked his highest position, #20, on the pop charts. His 1995 compilation Greatest Hits: From the Beginning went platinum within six months of its release. Restless Kind was released in 1996, followed two years later by No More Looking Over My Shoulder and Down the Road I Go in fall 2000. Live in Concert appeared in 2007 from Big Bang while later that same year Category 5 released a new studio effort from Tritt called The Storm produced by the well known American Idol judge and musician Randy Jackson.
In 2011 Travis wrapped production on the film Fishers of Men in which he portrayed the character Eddie Waters. He is currently traveling the country on his solo-acoustic tour and giving audiences an intimate experience playing his songs, and telling stories in a rare and intimate experience.
Reserved tickets priced at $79.00 and $59.00 will be available at the Ruth Eckerd Hall Ticket Office located at 1111 McMullen Booth Road in Clearwater, by calling 727.791.7400 or by logging onto www.atthecap.com. The Ruth Eckerd Hall Ticket Office is open Monday through Saturday, from noon to 6 pm. The Capitol Theatre Ticket Office opens one hour prior to showtime.
Valet parking is now available for most performances at the historic Capitol Theatre. Parking is free on city streets after 6 pm every day. Coachman Park Parking Lots are always free and is just a short walk to the Capitol Theatre. For information on dining please visit www.ClevelandStreetDistrict.com.
The City of Clearwater and Ruth Eckerd Hall have joined forces to renovate and revitalize the intimate Capitol Theatre located on downtown Clearwater's beautiful Cleveland Street.

Legitimate Peripheral Participation
is a term for how a member of a
learns. It is from this book:
Situated Learning: Legitimate Peripheral Participation
, by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger
Here is the blurb at the front of the book. The style is scary (to me) because the jargon is different from what I'm used to. My book review follows.
In this volume, Lave and Wenger undertake a radical and important rethinking and reformulation of our conception of learning. By placing emphasis on the whole person, and by viewing agent, activity, and world as mutually constitutive, they give us the opportunity to escape from the tyranny of the assumption that learning is the reception of factual knowledge or information. The authors argue that most accounts of learning have ignored its quintessentially social character. To make the crucial step away from a solely epistemological account of the person, they propose that learning is a process of participation in communities of practice, participation that is at first legitimately peripheral but that increases gradually in engagement and complexity.
My review:
If you're a caricatured "hard AI" person, knowledge consists of statements in some formal language, such as:
(if (bird ?x) (flies ?x))
The learning process consists of transferring those statements from one mind to another.
The authors argue that learning is a property that emerges from certain social interactions, and that learning is more a learning
to do
than a learning of things. They further claim that this learning is done in a particular way, which they call "legitimate peripheral participation". Here are its key elements.
The novice begins to learn by doing "peripheral" simple activities. For example, a novice Vai or Gola tailor begins by adding buttons or hemming cuffs. Note that this is not "make work" or practice: it's a real participation in the task. The novice always produces value.
Over time, novices take on more central tasks. The tailor learns to sew, then to cut.
Learning is ordered in a way that makes it easy to progress. Novice tailors start at the last step of production and learn their way backward:
Reversing production steps has the effect of focusing the apprentices' attention first on the broad outlines of garment construction as they handle garments while attaching buttons and hemming cuffs. Next, sewing turns their attention to the logic (order, orientation) by which different pieces are sewn together, which in turn explains why they are cut out as they are. (p. 72)
In contrast, navy quartermasters learn their task forward, in the order in which information flows through the system. They start by taking measurements, and learn next to perform each of the steps by which a position fix is determined. Still, as is the case with the tailors, each learning step causes the next one to make more sense.
Throughout this process, "there is very little observable teaching; the more basic phenomena is learning." (p. 92) What that means is that there's no "special form of discourse" directed at apprentices or intended to bring them more toward the center of the practice. There aren't lectures or courses. There are people doing things and other people commenting on them.
The learning process is one of conversation, both between novices and masters, and also between novices. Especially important are "stories about problematic and especially difficult cases." (p. 108) Learning is a social experience.
The end result of this learning is that one becomes a member of a
, one transforms one's identity, one comes to speak and act in ways that mark you as a community member, one learns actions that match task-relevant situations, and - perhaps - one gets predicate-logic-like statements about birds into one's head.
Their analysis of learning rings true to me. I, like so many others,
learned to program by latching onto a big project. Two at once, actually, but I'll only talk about GNU Emacs. I started out peripheral - local customizations using the surface features. I moved closer to the center, fixing a few bugs and adding some features to shell mode, then adding a whole RCS interface mode, then working on the low-level unexec code. I learned by watching what Stallman did from version to version. I learned by seeing which patches he rejected, which he modified and how, which he took unchanged. Design principles that never made particular sense to me when I heard about them or applied them to toy classroom programs made sense in the context of this big program.
And, yes, it did change my identity. I was an Emacs user, in contrast to the benighted vi users. I sneered at their pathetic pipes-and-filters monomania. (Imagine! Forking a separate shell just to format a paragraph!) They sneered back and made comments about "kitchen sinks", which did not faze me - or others: note that ntemacs's icon is a kitchen sink. Emacs helped me make the transition from a hedgehog to a fox. (See
Because this book rings true, I think it's worth reading. Many will find it frustrating. It uses social science jargon, not ours. The authors are in a different
, and they are speaking and acting in ways that send appropriate messages to their community and neighboring communities. Some of those messages seemed completely off-topic to me, but I'm not a member of their intended audience.
Moreover, the book deliberately doesn't aim for precision. Since it is all about how the connections between world, activities, and people generate knowledge, it spends its time talking about particular situations and particular connections and the relationships those suggest. It eschews precise definitions of what it is that is connected. They make, for example, no attempt to describe exactly what would be the difference between legitimate and illegitimate peripheral participation, and are proud of the fact.
This is one of my all-time favorite quotes (from the book), although it has precious little to do with the main thrust of the book:
The world carries its own structure, so that specificity always implies generality (and in this sense generality is not to be assimilated to abstractness): that is why stories can be so powerful in conveying ideas, often more so than an articulation of the idea itself.
That sentence is used to justify the authors not abstracting out their lessons, but telling the stories they encountered. --
This is about the eighth time I've read this page, and I'm afraid I still don't understand a bit of it. For me, this stuff has a very large
, which is one practical application of LineOfSightLearning
, and see if that helps. Legitimate Peripheral Participation means that a novice does participate (not only watches), but participates peripherally, or on low-risk or easy items while getting better. They can see the way forward to being better and getting more advanced assignments until they reach the center of their craft.
Actually the book itself is easy to read, because it is a narrative describing apprenticeships among tailors, Navy signalmen and butchers. The doubletalk is in the intro, for those among us who like that kind of doubletalk.
Thanks for the link to
-- that's one of the best patterns I've read. Beautifully written. I understood every word you said, too -- maybe they can get you to write the intro for the next version. Then I'll buy it.
Tell me and I will forget.
Show me and I may remember.
Involve me and I will understand.
I'm concerned that someone thinks this page has a high
says that the book does, and says why. But the page is very clear to me. Perhaps that is because I know Brian well. So, I'll take a crack at it.
The point of the book is that the best way to learn complex skills is to be part of a team working on a problem. If you are a novice, you should do low-level grunt work that is a necessary part of the job, not just exercises. You need to work with experts, to see them work and have them criticise your work, and to gradually build up your expertise. The reason why apprenticeships work better than classroom learning is that expertise is more than just learning a bunch of facts, it is learning a way of thinking. Learning a new way of thinking makes you a new person. Learning a new fact does not. You learn a new way of thinking by being placed in a situation where everybody thinks that way, and gradually learn to speak their language.
For example, I have friends who are farmers. Their parents were farmers, and they helped out on the farm at a very young age. Often fairly young children drive tractors. They have to learn to drive in a straight line, but they don't have to know what or where to plant, whether to attach a plow or a planter, or even which direction to make the rows go. They don't know how to fix the tractor, though they might know how to load it. Over time, they learn more and more skills, partly by watching their parents, and partly by having their father or mother deliberately teach them a new skill. By the time a young farmer is ready to graduate from high school, he or she is quite capable of running a farm. They almost all go to college to study agriculture, however, because farming is constantly changing, and they need to learn theory to make it easier to figure out which changes to make to themselves. But it is interesting to me how farmers around here tend to have similar world-views. Their parents didn't just teach them to drive a tractor, they taught them how to think about work, how to judge whether something was worthwhile, and how to organize their time.
Programming is taught backwards from this. First we stuff students' heads with facts. They get some practice in school; the better students get a lot of practice and can actually understand the facts we stuff into their heads. But the practice usually comes from summer jobs or student-run projects (writing the next great game, or building a web site for a favorite rock group) and school not only doesn't encourage this, it discourages it because of all the work placed on students. So, most students don't really learn to perform well until they graduate and start to practice and to work with experts. Students who practice but DON'T work with experts learn much more slowly, and often never reach expertise.
The way most companies deal with the fact that new programmers don't know how to program that well is to either make them "coders" or stick them in maintenance or testing. If they are "coders" then they will work under the direction of a "designer" or an "architect" who will give them fairly detailed instructions. Testers usually work with experienced programmers and can watch how they respond to bug reports or answer their questions about what the system is supposed to do. Maintenance programmers hope there is an expert around to help them learn the system, but sometimes there is none, and they won't learn as much.
Anyway, this book is a serious study of how people learn by working with experts. It won't be an easy read for us, but is probably worth reading by anybody who takes education seriously. -

Joss Stone 'targets' retailer for next album
Joss Stone is the latest artist to sign an exclusive retail deal: her next Virgin Records album, "Colour Me Free," out Oct. 20, will be released through Target. The digital version will also be available through iTunes.
Stone recorded the album of new material at her mother's club, Mama Stone's, in Wellington, England.
"I woke up one morning and wanted to make an album," Stone says in a statement.. "It's very, very raw - basically a bunch of musicians, writers, and myself just jamming. The album was not dictated or forced. It was an organic process where each musician was given the freedom to create their sound. It's an honest and accurate representation of where I am as an artist and person right now. I am really proud of the music and excited to have people hear the songs."
Guests include Raphael Saadiq, Jeff Beck, Sheila E., Nas and David Sanborn.

Honda widens scope of its Red Champions competition
AP Honda, yesterday, launched the second season of
In the first season, AP Honda staged the competition separately, with only the winners from each half in the national finals clinching the berths to train at Liverpool and Manchester United. In fact, the first group of winners returned from training in England Last week.
This year the company has joined hands with the Sports Authority of Thailand, the Football Association of Thailand and Office of The Basic Education Commission and decided to broaden their chances by handing the winners from the country's five regions an opportunity to hone their skills in England.
"From our three-year plan in building our brand under the "Discover Your Fun" campaign starting last year, we've handed Thai people a variety of fun, including soccer activity, as part of our partnerships with Liverpool and Manchester United.
"The event was a big success in the first year. There were more than 3,000 teams across the country taking part. After intense competition, we eventually got two teams as the country's representatives to train at Liverpool and Manchester United.
"They gained valuable experience from training with the two clubs, which have produced a host of worldclass players. The other players taking part in our event also attracted interest from many Thai clubs.
"We decided to give more opportunities in the second year of the event to make sure everyone has the same chance to pursue his dreams. We're also preparing to invite the school director of each winning team to accompany them to England to see how the training goes. We hope they would come back with an idea to create similar training in their school," said Chiaki Kato, the AP Honda president.

Little Bo Peek
John and Bo Derek are pretty incensed about Susanne Severeid, the model who claimed that it was her body below Bo's head on the billboards for their Tarzan film last summer. According to Susanne, the movie company hired her to pose for the ads while Bo was in far-off Sri Lanka filming the picture, which turned out to be a critical flop. Rages John: "We're so mad we want to tear her clothes off in public and prove her body isn't anything like Bo's." And, he adds, "It's like someone popping up claiming he supplied John Wayne's macho in all his movies."
Acid Remark
It's no secret that some people dislike Interior Secretary James Watt, 44, but how much they dislike him became clear when Watt guested on Larry King's late-night radio talk show. Among the callers was one who took great relish in correcting the Secretary's pronunciation of nuclear (he sometimes says "nuke-u-lar") and another who read a nasty poem ("no more beaches, money talks..."). But the unkindest cut of all came from a Minnesota woman; she called to ask if Watt's baldness had resulted from acid rain.
There She's Not
Gary Collins, who will host the Miss America Pageant for the first time on Sept. 11, is annoyed that he won't get to sing the contest's longtime theme song, There She Is, for years trilled by Bert Parks. "I spent all my money on singing lessons," joked Collins, 44, "only to find out the composer, Bernie Wayne, hadn't renewed the contract for the song." (Wayne, whose tune debuted in 1955, held out for more money; finally Miss America officials decided to look for another song for Collins.) "It's really a hoot when you think about it," says Gary. "There isn't a very big market for the song elsewhere."
The Claus von Bülow Show
You read about it in the papers—now you may get to see it on TV. Writer-director Sheldon Reynolds, a friend of Claus von Bülow's since the '60s, plans to make a miniseries about the socialite who was convicted of trying to murder his wife, Sunny, with an insulin injection. According to Reynolds—who has already had preliminary talks with network officials about airing the series, hopefully in 1983—he expects to shoot in London, Paris, the Middle East, Manhattan and, of course, Newport, where the crime took place. It will cover, among other chapters in von Bülow's life, his international career in high finance (including a stint as an aide to J. Paul Getty) and his wartime escape from Denmark to neutral Sweden.
Where's Johnny?
Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini and his mullahs could hardly be more hostile to the West, but visitors to Tehran still detect a grudging curiosity about the U.S. Recently a high United Nations official met with Iranian leaders in the capital and got a predictable earful of America's misdeeds. But afterward, the envoy reports, one of the ministers took him aside and said he had two personal questions. Checking to make sure no one was looking, the Iranian asked first, "Is it true that John Belushi died of a drug overdose?" and second, "Is Johnny Carson still hosting the Tonight show?" The envoy answered yes to both, but don't expect to see the Ayatollah on Tonight anytime soon.
Downs and Out
During Princess Anne's recent visit to Winnipeg, she was scheduled to spend an evening at Assiniboia Downs, where the feature race had been named the Princess Anne Stakes in her honor. She even planned to hand the trophy to the winner. But the Canadian track, long in financial trouble, went broke and was closed (albeit temporarily) on the day of the race. Local officials, hard pressed to think up an appropriate alternative, settled on dinner at the elegant restaurant Dubrovnik. Owner Milan Bodiroga had less than three hours to prepare for Anne's party of 18, but he reports she appeared to be in an "excellent mood."

Dean Yakura scored his first goal of the season on Tuesday but the Bloomington Thunder responded with two unanswered goals to defeat the Peoria Rivermen 2-1 at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum. Reid MacLeod notched the game-winner more than 12 minutes into the third, while the Rivermen went 0-for-4 on the power play.
With the loss, Peoria falls to 20-14-4 on the season (44 points) and remains fifth in the SPHL standings. In addition, Peoria's six-game point streak comes to an end, while the Rivermen have now dropped each of their last three games in the season-series to Bloomington.
For the full box score, click here.
Peoria opened the scoring with just 16.3 seconds to play in the first period when Adam Hartley found Parker Stanfield on a backdoor pass from the left circle. After Stanfield jammed at it several times from the back post, Yakura knocked the loose puck home past Thunder netminder B.J. O'Brien at 19:44.
Seconds later, Jarrett Rush and Dennis Sicard dropped the gloves for the night's first bout just as the first period expired. Each earned a five-minute fighting major as well as a two-minute unsportsmanlike conduct minor.
The Thunder answered at 14:05 of the middle frame to even the game on the power play. Following a holding minor to Stanfield at 13:17, Curtis Megginson fired a slap shot from the top of the right circle that was redirected from the doorstep by Bobby Watson past Rivermen goaltender Eric Levine. The tally was Watson's first goal of the season in just his second game, while Megginson and Paul DAgostino recorded the helpers.
MacLoad collected the go-ahead goal at 12:38 of the third when he led a 3-on-2 charge down the right side and ripped a shot on target that Levine knocked down, but watched trickle into the back of the net. Travis Granbois and Sicard earned the assists.
At 15:35, Aaron McGill and Craig Cole got tied up in front of the Peoria bench and dropped the gloves for the game's second fight. Following the duel, McGill flung his helmet as he headed to the tunnel and was assessed a game misconduct for removing equipment.
With one minute to play, Levine was pulled for an extra attacker, but it was to no avail. In addition, Levine (10-8-4) suffered the defeat after he made 27 saves. The loss also snapped his four-game undefeated in regulation streak. O'Brien (5-9-1) earned the win after he made 29 saves.
Peoria outshot Bloomington 30-29, but finished the game 1-for-3 on the penalty kill.
The Rivermen begin a three-game weekend series this Friday with a 7:15 p.m. puck drop against the Fayetteville FireAntz at Carver Arena. Friday is "Valentine's Date Night" where fans can get two upper bowl tickets for just $20! Plus, the "Loaded Ticket" option returns and fans can purchase a lower bowl seat, plus a hot dog, popcorn and soda for just $15. The game can be heard locally on CD Country 107.9 FM or online here. Fans can also follow along via the live video and audio stream at www.americaonesports.com.

Posted on 04/23/2013 1:54:01 PM PDT by Jean S
Proposed Internet sales-tax legislation received a huge boost on Monday when the White House officially backed the bill, saying it would level the playing field among online and retail stores by ensuring that both pay sales taxes.
Today, while local small-business retailers follow the law and collect sales taxes from customers who make purchases in their stores, many big-business online and catalogue retailers do not collect the same taxes, White House press secretary Jay Carney. This puts local, neighborhood-based small businesses at a disadvantage to big, out-of-state, online companies.
Now, the Senate is scheduled to debate the Internet sales-tax legislation for the remainder of the week, and the bill is largely expected to pass (a similar, nonbinding amendment was approved weeks ago, 75-24).
The so-called Marketplace Fairness Act would allow a state to collect sales tax on Internet purchases made by its residents, even if the Internet company has its headquarters in a different state. It would exempt online companies with sales of less than $1 million a year from collecting or paying the sales taxes, and it would add roughly $10.1 billion a year to local government coffers, according to the Congressional Research Service, at a time when most states are looking for any and all fiscal fixes.
But, the essence of the fight really pits industry against industry.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
So does MN, but I think nearly every state does.
buy everything used .
next they'll send out the garage sale police .
The tax is on the importer but collected by the exporter.
"It would exempt online companies with sales of less than $1 million a year from collecting or paying the sales taxes....."
But it would provide a permanent (and therefore illegal) list of honest American citizens that legally purchase firearms and/or ammo on the internet.
The White House Devil is in the Details.
I don't have much faith.
. Once again, increasing tax revenue for the ever expanding Government entitlement programs.
And once again
.The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other peoples money
The WH has never seen a tax that it doesn't like.

The States have been whining for this. Evil gluttons, just like our "reps" in D. C.
Yes, but nobody would join in.
If your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime. I repeat: not a single dime. - Barack Hussein Obama, Feb. 24, 2009
In New Mexico it is call the "Compensating Tax." If you buy something from out of state that you could have purchased in New Mexico - regardless of price difference - you are expected to pay 5% to the state. This is enforced for businesses, but less so for individuals.
When we lived in Florida my in-laws bought us dining room furniture while traveling in North Carolina (they owned a lighting showroom and often bought furniture for resale from out of state). Unfortunately they had it shipped directly to our home. About a month after we received it, we received a sales tax bill from the State of Florida. They tried to charge us on the full retail value of the furniture, but we had an invoice showing the true sale amount, so we just paid the sales tax on that.
We were later told that if the furniture had been delivered to my in-law's store and then delivered to our home, we would not have owed the tax. It would have been considered a "zero sale" by our in-law's store and no one would have paid tax...go figure...

This is such BS. Many of my Amazon purchases are supplied by small businesses.
But... It would exempt online companies with sales of less than $1 million a year from collecting or paying the sales taxes
Of course someone could have a small business, sell 1.1 million of merchandise that they had to buy for 1.05 million dollars, which leaves them 50K in "EEEVIL" profit...
If they are supporting a family that is near poverty level....
Way to break shit Obama...
Same here since they started collecting CA sales tax.
I use to order quite a bit from them.
Small time operators who make their living on bulk purchases that sell more than 1 million that have razor thin margins are gonna get screwed over, they are gonna need obamacare to install a new asshole in them after this.
On the other hand, Congress is placing a burden on Internet businesses that brick and mortar businesses don't have to do. The Internet businesses must collect taxes for all states and localities. A brick and mortar business does not unless they required all purchasers to identify their state.
Five states have no sales tax: NH, DE, OR, AK, and MT. So a brick and mortar business in those states would be required to have each customer provide a state of residence, calculate the sales tax for the that state, collect it, and then deposit into that state's coffers. Under the proposed Internet law, the brick and mortar businesses would not be required to collect such taxes.
They're quick to say "it's not a Federal tax. If that's the case why not leave it to the States? Just more Federal intrusion into the domain of the States.
Need to watch which Republicans go wobbly on this one
And just how are all the Mom & Pop online stores going to know what the sales tax is supposed to be for tens of thousands of local districts?
I thought it was unconstitutional to have interstate taxation?
Article 1 Section 9:
No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state.
Roberts will just rule it as a fee not a tax...
Five states have no sales tax: NH, DE, OR, AK, and MT. So a brick and mortar business in those states would be required to have each customer provide a state of residence, calculate the sales tax for the that state, collect it, and then deposit into that state's coffers. Under the proposed Internet law, the brick and mortar businesses would not be required to collect such taxes.
The only "good" thing could be that it could cause more states to get rid of their state sales taxes.
what gets me is our side (they few we have) are always on the defensive trying to hold them off. I know our real numbers are small. But it would be encouraging if even a few of them introduced and spoke of TAX CUTS. It may be futile but we need to somehow try to shift the debate to growth and lower taxes - even if it is only a few people yapping about it and finding clever ways to get on air. Impossible given this environment? perhaps. but we should never give up
Yeah, that will help the economy.
Shipping costs are an important variable in the online purchase calculus. But so is time travelling to a shopping center, fuel for the car, dealing with cashiers who can't count change; for those averse to shopping, the pain points are multifarious. The value of online shopping vs brick & mortar retail will vary with the friction of distance and the conduciveness of specific product classes to the online purchase experience. Does taxation tip the balance over to the BM retail interests?
In the end, taxes hurt everyone - and as noted, on many purchases the tax is already being collected, so this law does nothing. In New York state for example, if you itemize your state income tax, you have to (~ahem voluntarily) declare online purchases and calculate the tax the state of New York expects.
Per the article, the administration is claiming the legislation will "allow a state to collect sales tax on Internet purchases made by its residents, even if the Internet company has its headquarters in a different state."
Say what? That's already happening...so what's the legislation really about?
Control. Political favor. The "right" thing to do.
You are correct, but the government, through the USSC, has ruled that if a company has a "presence" in a State, tax can be charged for purchases. Silly, and wrong, ruling, but there it is.
This new law, though, doesn't even make that pretense.
I hope some organization is able to file suit against it.
Lot of work putting that table together. I hope you didn't have to hand code that.
"it would level the playing field among online and retail stores by ensuring that both pay sales taxes"
How about no one pays sales tax, @#$@hole?
If it passes, boycott the locals. Let the officious criminals make the next move. [There's no next move that won't end without the commie/fascist crooks being brought to justice.]
Didn't Boehner say he was done with tax increases?
Also, since this is a revenue bill, how can it originate in the Senate?
It's not a revenue bill since it doesn't actually raise a tax. It allows states to collect taxes on sales from businesses in other states shipping across state lines.
It will never pass the house. It won't even get out of committee.
"As long as there are tax free Internet sales, there will be a cap on local taxes. As soon as that ends the lid can come off."
I hadn't considered this aspect of it. This is a great point. They are trying to sell this as tax fairness and somehow local governments will do the right thing and lower taxes on everyone after the tax base is broadened. But the exact opposite is likely to occur, especially in states with complete Dem control, like here in MN where I live.
Get ready to stop purchasing things on the internet.
How can we get rid of that illegal POS who is trashing America/the White House?
My only consolation is that the Good Lord is keeping Tabs on everything Zero does and says. It may not help us now, but NO ONE can escape the Final Judgement.
Get Ready To Be Tracked on Internet Purchases...
Every knew this was coming
Wait until corrupt biggov attempts to censor nearly everything on the net and they announce they want to assign everyone and Internet ID.
They're not too happy since even those drooling in cups have seen CNN and the media are hysterical, biased, corrupt, pro big government and basically do and say as government tells them to.
This hussein character, a Karl Marx clone if ever there was one, NEVER saw a tax he couldn't love.
So we need even BIGGER Government for "fairness"...
why? Besides the fact they want more money and not less ... they know online shopping is not just about saving taxes as compared to brick and mortar shopping. People like the convenience of buying from their home, avoiding crowds etc. So the feds KNOW that an internet tax will not significantly reduce demand. Sure some people will protest etc but the world will go on. It is generally elastic. They know this and know it is a magic cash cow.
But Obama isn't the one in charge of doing this..... /s
I hear that argument a lot and it bothers me.
Who's name will be signed on the bill? Who has the power to veto? Is what I tell people when they bring up that argument.
That's the first thing Jay Carney has ever said that made any sense!
the Republican throat-slitting-contest
(their own) just goes on and on
"It's just a piece of paper"
I won't waste my dime trying to contact any member of the Gay State's Congressional delegation....all eleven of them are filthy,worthless Maoist punks.
Who gets the money? State with the store, state with the purchaser, FedGov?
Let's level the playing field by getting rid of all federal sales taxes on brick and mortar stores.
If states want sales taxes on internet businesses, then that's the states business.
If they want to forego that for now because BUSINESS (any business activity whatsoever) and JOBS are more important, then leave that to the states.
The Fed is just looking for another revenue source.
"Leveling the field" is just BS.
