Lawrence steped in to take the case shortly before the trail date after previous attorney resigned due to conflict of inerest. Was quick to get to the issues and worked well with plantiff's attorney in resolving the dispute. Results: all allegations were dismissed with prejudice. I was greatly pleased in that I was resident outside of California.

Lawrence is exceptionally reliable and trustworthy. I hired him to settle my divorce. First off, he's a good, compassionate listener. Before hiring him, he was willing to spend some time with me to understand my situation and goals. There were some contentious issues with my divorce, but I also wanted a quick settlement. Considering my ex and I own a home and have 2 small children, this was no small feat. He focused on the pros/cons of each issue and provided his perspective based on previous experiences. He provided just the right amount of guidance without imposing too much direction. At the end of the day, my ex and I both felt that we reached a quick and fair settlement. We wouldn't have accomplished this without Lawrence's help....thank you!

Lawrence and his firm guided myself and family threw the worst times of our lives, death of father, placement of mother in alzheimers home, wills and trusts,selling of family home and a conservatorship. He's easy to work with and fair priced. Give him a call you will not be disappointed.

I was referred to Lawrence by my longtime family lawyer for a Divorce/Separation. I went in for a consult on what was supposed to be a "Easy" separation. He warned me and kept me informed based on his years of experience that it may get rough and not to let my guard down. He was absolutely right and he ended up protecting me, my kids and my family from a potentially damaging situation. He was able to get me what was fair and deserved without much of a fight by presenting a clean, concise case to the Judge.
Lawrence was very comforting and straight forward and he really was beside me every step of the way. I have referred Lawrence numerous times and I have yet to hear anyone tell me that they were disappointed even slightly with his services. Lawrence's office staff is very easy to talk to and also knowledgeable.

I purchased my first home and started a remodeling project, already stressed out by the normal events of being a first time home owner and a remodel project a flooring retailer decided to rip me off. I purchased several thousand dollars with of flooring and paid in full. I went to see the product and signed the final paper work before opening the boxes, went to a separate warehouse to review the product and its was the wrong material. I was assured they would ship the right material to me in a week, well it never came and I signed the final paperwork. Lawrence stepped in and he made me at ease with this very stressful situation. He was persistent, confidant and most of all excellent at winning this case. He went up against two lawyers and with a very hard case to prove, watching Lawrence in action, I knew I had the better attorney and for that we will forever be grateful. I would recommend Lawrence for any legal matter.

|Maternal and Child and Family Planning Services in Sri Lanka
J K Malini de Silva and K Wickramasuriya
The first organised effort towards providing care and attention to the childbearing woman was made in 1879 with the establishment of the De Soysa Lying-in-Home now known as De Soysa Hospital for Women.
During the late 19th century, some of the important land marks that supported the MCH services were: the introduction of registration of births and deaths in 1887; registration of midwives in the same year (1887); inclusion of Maternal Mortality in the Registrar Generals Annual Report and the establishment of a Public Health Department in the Colombo Municipality in 1902.
Following an investigation report on the high rate of infant mortality within the Municipality, a Maternal and Child Health Department was set up in the Colombo Municipality. Six midwives were appointed in 1906 followed by two health visitors in 1913. The MCH services thereafter gradually expanded. The first antenatal clinic was started at the De Soysa Lying-in-Home in 1921.
An organised effort to provide maternal and child health services dates back to the mid 1920s with the introduction of the Health Unit System, which was to provide institutional and domiciliary, care for mothers and children. The first Health Unit was established in 1926 at Kalutara. This system was thereafter extended and by 1936, eight such health units were established.
The control measures adopted following the Malaria epidemic of 1935 led to the further expansion of the Health Unit system. Under the Malaria Control and Health Scheme, Field Medical Officers were appointed to implement the programme of preventive health and malaria control. The maternal and child health infrastructure which commenced through the Health Unit System was linked to the expanding malaria control programme. The medical officers recruited under this scheme provided MCH services at the health centres which proved to be very popular. Trained public health midwives were appointed to these Health Units. By 1950, 91 Health Units were established.
The above system provided domiciliary as well as clinic services during pregnancy, trained assistance at delivery through institutions or at home, domiciliary and clinic based services during the postnatal period and infancy. This contributed significantly to lowering of maternal and infant mortality in Sri Lanka. Maternal Mortality declined from 19.9/1000 live births in 1937 to 10.6 in 1947 and infant mortality from 170 per 1000 to 80 per 1000 live births during the same period.
Development of MCH infrastructure during the past six decades is illustrated in the above table. The number of hospitals with facilities for delivery has increased from 129 in 1941 to 452 in 1998. Similarly trained manpower for deliveries increased from 347 to 6745 during the same period.
Expansion of MCH services - 1941 to 1996
* Includes Teaching, Provincial, Base, District, Peripheral Units and Rural Hospitals all of which have maternity unit facilities for deliveries.
Family Planning in Sri Lanka dates back to the early 1950s when an organized effort to introduce family planning was made in 1953 by the Family Planning Association of Sri Lanka. The Association's work was initially restricted to areas around the Colombo Municipality. Attention was mainly focussed on family welfare with a view to reducing maternal mortality, infant mortality and malnutrition. The work done by the association was given government recognition in 1954 in the form of a financial grant.
Though there was much opposition to family planning at the beginning, with time this gradually declined. Realising its importance, the government in 1958 entered into a bilateral agreement with the Royal Government of Sweden to conduct a pilot project in community family planning. The project was designed to investigate the prospects of family planning in Sri Lanka and study the attitudes of people towards family planning. The results of this project were encouraging. In the pilot areas, the crude birth rate showed a promising decline and an increasing positive attitude to family planning was seen within the community. The project also demonstrated that family planning could be successfully integrated with the existing MCH services, which were already widespread within the country.
The ten-year plan of 1959 highlighted the implications of post war increase in population growth and particularly its effect of diverting investment away from direct productive activities to social sectors. In 1960 a labour force survey conducted with the assistance of ILO showed that unemployment rate was over 10 percent. In view of the above it became evident to policy makers that the population growth rate needs to be brought under control. Based on these experiences, the government accepted family planning as national policy in 1965. It was integrated with the already well-developed Maternal and Child health services provided through the Ministry of Health. Considering its national importance a separate division was established in 1968 within the ministry to implement the programme throughout the country. This was initially designated the Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
In 1970, the government made a positive statement towards family planning. It stated that "though family planning would not be a solution to the economic ills of the country, nevertheless family planning facilities should be made available on a more intensified scale." The government's five-year plan presented at the end of 1971 stated "family planning should be made available to all groups and not be confined to the privileged section of society". From 1972, the family planning programme had the necessary political endorsement. The government sought the assistance of International Organisations to financially support the expansion of services within the country.
In 1972, 100 pilot projects were started, one in each MOH area, to coordinate activities such as MCH, family planning, nutrition, immunization, health education etc. Based on the experience gained from these pilot projects, the MCH/FP programme received a new dimension with a more comprehensive approach towards the family. The Bureau was re-designated the Family Health Bureau in 1972 and the programme was named the Family Health Programme.
The Family Health Bureau was made the central organisation of the Ministry of Health responsible for planning, co-ordination, direction monitoring and evaluation of the family health programme. The staff at the Family Health Bureau was strengthened to man five units, namely, Training, Health Education, Plantations, Supplies and Services and Evaluation and Research, initially.
In 1977, the government policy on population was enunciated and the subject of population was gazetted as a function of the Ministry of Plan Implementation directly under the President. In August 1978 the first Project Ministry, the Ministry of Colombo Hospitals and Family Health was established. One important function of the Ministry was to improve the delivery of maternal care, child care and family planning services in the country particularly in the rural periphery. In 1989, the Population Division together with the Population Information Centre came under the Ministry of Health and Women's Affairs facilitating close co-ordination between the population division and the FHB.
Since the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo in 1994, the concept of reproductive health (RH) has been introduced, addressing reproductive health issues of the adolescent and post adolescent even before they become mothers and also Women's reproductive health conditions even after menopause. A life cycle approach to family health care has been introduced. Some of the reproductive health issues that have received emphasis in the programme are RH problems in the adolescents, early identification of reproductive organ malignancies, prevention of reproductive tract infections including sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS, concept of women's empowerment and male involvement in RH activities.
Organisational structure for delivery of services
In the implementation of the RH programme, the Family Health Bureau (FHB) play the central role maintaining a close collaboration with the National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP) and the National STD/AIDS Control Programme (NSACP). In this role, the FHB undertakes, in-service training of health personnel in RH; offers technical assistance in programme management and service delivery; conducts relevant health services research to support and strengthen service delivery; and monitors and evaluates programme performance. In addition, the Bureau is responsible for the procurement and distribution of contraceptives, equipment and other supplies needed for family planning and maternal and child health services.
In the delivery of RH services, the Ministry of Health continues to utilize its well-developed health infrastructure consisting of a network of medical institutions (larger, intermediate and smaller peripheral institutions) and Health Units. The latter are responsible for preventive and promotive aspects of health including domiciliary services in MCH and family planning. Currently there are 258 Health Unit areas with populations ranging from 40,000 to 60,000.
The Health Unit area is a clearly defined area, which is congruent with the administrative divisions of the country. Health Units are managed by Medical Officers of Health, also referred as Divisional Directors of Health Services (DDHS) and are supported by a team of public health personnel comprising one or two Public health Nursing Sisters (PHNS), 4-6 Public Health Inspectors (PHI), one or two Supervising Public Health Midwives (SPHM) and 20-25 Public Health Midwives (PHMs).
Each Health unit area is subdivided into PHM areas, which constitute the smallest working unit in the government system. Currently there are approximately 5000 PHMs in service.
The PHM is the "front line" health worker for providing domiciliary MCH/FP services in the community. Each PHM has a well-defined area consisting of a population ranging from 2000-4000. Through systematic home visits, she provides care to pregnant women, infants and pre-school children and family planning services including counselling and provision of contraceptive pills and condoms to couples in the reproductive age. She also provides necessary education and advice to adolescents on RH where needed and educates women on the importance of screening for reproductive organ malignancies thus motivating them to attend the "Well Woman Clinics" for necessary check-up. She also assist routinely at the area MCH/FP clinics which are conducted fortnightly, linking the community with the institutional health system. Her activities are supported by a system of record keeping which enables her to plan and monitor her routine activities.
The Estate sector has its own health care system and provides MCH/FP services to the estate population with necessary support from the Ministry of Health. MCH//FP services are provided by the estate health staff (Estate Medical Assistants and Estate Midwives) similar to that provided by the government sector.
Since 1989, the country's administration has been decentralised with greater devolution of administrative powers to the provinces for certain subjects/areas. Health is one of the devolved subjects and practical issues in the working relationships between the centre and the provinces are sometimes ambivalent and strained. Each Provincial Council, has a Provincial Director of Health Services (PDHS) who is responsible for total health care within the province.
The non-governmental sector too provides an important supportive function to the government programme especially in the areas of family planning, adolescent health and STD/HIV prevention. Four non-governmental organizations namely the Family Planning Association of Sri Lanka (FPASL), Population Services Lanka (PSL), Sri Lanka Association for Voluntary Surgical Contraception (SLAVSC) and Community Development Services (CDS) had been complementing the government family planning programme for 2 to 3 decades and are considered as partners in programme implementation.. Other NGOs like Sarvodaya, Mahila Samithi, CENWOR have also included IEC activities related to RH into their community development programmes, thus helping to take the concept of RH to the community.
The private sector, which includes private hospitals, nursing homes and independently practising general medical practitioners, also provide RH services of a varying degree. Although data is not available, it is known that a considerable proportion of patients with RH problems use services in the private sector.
Service delivery
The government of Sri Lanka is committed to provide a comprehensive system of health care to its people. Maternal and Child Health and Family Planning forms an important component of the prevailing health care system and is an integral part of the Primary Health Care service strategy. Maternal health, Child health and Family planning are closely integrated and the following services are provided through the well developed infrastructure of the Ministry of Health, which comprise a wide network of medical institutions and health units. The Family Health programme covers a wide spectrum of services comprising:
Appropriate maternal care is provided to all pregnant women during antenatal, intranatal and postnatal periods through the health care system.
Antenatal care is provided through a network of MCH clinics conducted in medical institutions and by Public Health personnel in the field. These clinics are usually conducted once a fortnight. In addition domiciliary care is provide by Public health Midwives through routine home visiting. Pregnant women are registered for antenatal care early and a "Pregnancy Record" is maintained to facilitate proper follow-up. "High-risk" mothers are identified and special care is provided through out pregnancy and delivery. A system of referral exists for cases that need special care.
As a routine all pregnant women are provided immunization with tetanus toxoid. This together with clean delivery practices has reduced the incidence of neo-natal tetanus dramatically enabling Sri Lanka to achieve elimination levels.
Births in government medical institutions have increased steadily during the past four decades. Easy access to institutional care and regular contact with the PHM appears to have influenced the choice in favour of institutional deliveries. Of the deliveries that take place in government institutions, almost 68% occur in larger hospitals where specialist services are available.

I can't find 16 gauge heavy duty extension cord!
I recently purchased a 1/3 hp drain cleaning machine, and the manual says it needs a 16 gauge heavy duty extension cord. But at the hardware store all the 16 gauge extension cords are labled 'light duty' and only the 14 gauge extension cords are labled 'heavy duty'.
So should I just get a 14 gauge extension cord, or keep looking for a 'heavy duty' 16 gauge extension cord? I want to stick with exactly what the manual wants. Also could there be problems with a 14 gauge cord, could it 'overdraw' on power and pop a circuit breaker?
I'd buy the 14g cord myself
You can't overdraw power
The motor will only pull as much as it is rated for
The gauge provides the current handling capability - a physically larger gauge than specificed is ok, and a good thing especially in longer extension cords.
The "duty" typically speaks to the ruggedness of the extension cord in relation to abrasion and cutting, connector robustness, etc.
I like the Bosch XC series extension cords - rugged, stay flexable at low temperatures, and have a light in the end to make it easy to know you have power on the cord.
What seems to be constant with the cord-size/length tables is a ~5% voltage drop@rated current, but that doesn't always work.
That link to the 100' 16 ga. 10A gives a 7% voltage drop at 10A@120v if it's copper, worse if it's aluminum.
Heh, did it also say that you should go hunt snipes? 14 or even 12 is fine. The bigger the wire the longer cord you can use.
Farm Supply stores have the heavier gauge cords.
38 Attachment(s)
I got a 100 foot 12 gauge cord at Harbor Frieght for 38 bucks last year. It's heavy, but I use it to run lighter gauge cords when I am a long way from an outlet. Go with 14. It's a good compromise: not so heavy and plenty of capacity for high amp tools.
Owner's manual causing confusion
Defining Electrical terms.
Haha, try lugging around a 100' 6/3 extension cord! Now that is heavy! I think I have probably 5 100' 6/3, a 75' 6/3 and a 50' 6/3. I use them with portable sub panels; they rarely get used but I had a wedding I ran sound and lights for once and used almost everything I had. I am wiring up some outlets near my service panel to make use of them at my house for when I need that extra temporary power.
Yeah I bought (2) #12 100' cords when they were marked down to $38
I used them in my Christmas display plus a couple hundred moire cords :eek:
Also used them as Temp power to my shed to keep the pool running while I ran a new sub

Can you bond with a fish? Not sure about that. However, I think my dog Norman had. On several occasions from the porch I would see a pretty good size bass chasing bait fish up the side of the dike. Norman, on dry land of course, would be running almost side by side as the fish cornered dinner. Saw that more than one time. Never went to check it out. Didn't think it was any of my business.
Now here comes some tough times.
The lake is 10 years old and Susie Q has been in it for 6 or 7 years. That's fine, but Norman was 6 when I filled the lake. That makes him 16, which is about two years of bonus time for me and I have to put him down.
This dog was the most special thing in my life at the time and I buried him about 30 feet from the house and the same distance from the lake. I recessed a big flat rock that the lawn mower would go over, into the ground for a marker, then went to the woods and dug up a Red Bud tree that stood 2 feet high. I planted it next to Ole' Norm.
Oh how I cussed life for putting me through that and assured everyone that that would never happen again, because I would never get another dog.
That lasted for about 2 weeks, or until I got lined up with a new wiener dog puppy that I'd call Archie. Norm was black with tan trim and Archie was solid tan.
Archie wasn't even 6 months old before he caught the fishing bug. All I had to do was pick up a rod and he'd make a B-line for the little pond boat and we'd be off. Both my dachshunds were bass fishin' nuts.
Well I guess you think I have a tale about Archie meeting Susie Q, but I don't. As far as I know, the two never met. In fact I can't really say that I ever saw her again myself. Saw the Albinos, but not Susie Q.
Time passes quickly doesn't it? Archie is 4 years old and knows his way around the lake pretty good. I'm eating breakfast and I step out on the back porch with a bowl of cornflakes, and I freeze. Something's wrong.
A big eagle sits atop a dead tree in the middle of the lake. He's around lots, but normally flying – not sitting. The wind is dead calm.
The birds that usually are all over the feeders are nowhere to be found. Not a sound coming out of the woods. Two deer are watching from across the lake and a raccoon is zoned in on something at the water's edge, just in front of the deer.
I grab my binoculars and sure enough there's a fish washed up on the bank and surprisingly neither the eagle nor the raccoon are bothering it.
Archie and I are down the porch steps, across the yard and over to the back side of the lake in a flash. The deer and raccoon ease into the edge of the woods and watch as I slowly walk up on the dead fish. I knew what it was when I looked through the binoculars. I think I knew when I first spotted the eagle sitting in the tree.
She hadn't been there long and although a little thinner, she was still the finest bass I'd ever seen. Susie Q was probably 10 years old as Archie eyed her with great interest. How did I know it was her? Well what other bass in the lake would have a battered red tag … just behind the dorsal fin.
I wrapped her in a towel, buried her 3 feet deep, red tag and all, right next to Norman under the Red Bud tree that was now six feet tall. The spot was marked with another recessed flat rock.
I have written several pages and 100s of words getting to the last and most important part of this story. Thanks for hanging in there with me.
Several years have gone by and it's Christmas morning 2010. I've never completely got over the 10-year Susie Q adventure, but I'm thankful that I was a part of it. Like most mornings, even Christmas morning, I start the day on the back porch with a bowl of Cornflakes. Archie is already 10 years old.
Good night, I'm 74 and have seen everything there is to see. Or so I thought.
This day the lake is alive. The eagles flying, birds all over the feeders, turtles with their heads sticking up and out of the water. Folks, I know this lake. Something's happening … again.
Archie's nose is up against the porch door wanting out so bad. I then experience an incredible 10 minutes.
A big bass bust into a batch of minnows over next to the dike. Wow, never seen that in winter. Then I look on the bank, 4 feet from where the bass busted. There's a weasel, or wait, it's colored like a weasel, black and tan, but a little larger than a weasel. It's the size of Archie. In fact it looks exactly like … No, that's impossible.
I'm scrambling for my binoculars as the fish hits the surface again. The fish and his buddy head for the end of the dike. I can't find those stupid binoculars, but I do kick the porch door open and Archie's off like a rocket.
The bass seems to be gone when I arrived, but Arch has chased Nor … Arch has chased the weasel into the woods.
We're standing there at the water's edge a little confused at what just happened and the confusion gets worse when I see two albino catfish suspended just off shore. When I walked closer and look down into about 4 or 5 inches of water, I spot something that ends the confusion.
There on the bottom was a ragged red fish tag.
Now it's all over. Me and Arch are making our way back to the house and I need to make a quick stop.
One is to my bass boat where I put the red tag back in the glove compartment of my boat. The other is to the 6 foot red bud tree that marked Norman and Susie Q's resting spot.
The flat rocks were in place and the ground and grass was completely undisturbed.
So there you have it and I've got to admit, parts of this Christmas story weren't true, but most parts were.
You'd be shocked and happy if you knew which parts were the true ones. You have to remember that on my lake, from time to time, strange things happen. Really strange things.
Merry Christmas!

I admit I may be stupid sometimes. But I pray all the time. For my family and friends. For people with cancer and sick people. But I hardly ever pray for myself. And never pray for money. And I have had a few times when I think prayer worked.

Prayer has worked for me MANY times, and I've also found that, when I don't get exactly what I've prayed for, something better comes around that I would not have been able to take advantage of, had the thing I originally prayed for been delivered.
Ex. Put in an order with JCR for new bumper/sliders for the Wrangler, they were busy for a little while (had a week wait or so), and I couldn't find any gas cans for the rear bumper at TSC.
Within the week, the wrangler stopped working (same intermittent problem that it had been having months earlier), and I picked up the new freakin' awesome Cherokee from JCR (for less than I would have spent on all of the bumpers and such).
God is awesome!

It is impossible to know if prayer works. Its kind of like nostradamus' predictions, and making them out to be right.
If someone is on their death bed, and you pray to your god, and the person lives, then you attribute that to god.
If someone is on their death bed, and you pray to your god, and the person passes, then you attribute that to god taking their life so they do not have to deal with pain.
You can turn praying either way.
If prayers do work, why do "acts of god" destroy their places of worship?
I know, its because God wanted to make the community come together and interact.
Even though prayer cannot change real life outcomes, it can provide a place for someone to turn to, talk to, and feel comfort. So more power to them

here you go, Harvard medical study does 10 year study on prayer. People who are prayed for, and they realize it are worse off.
Prayer & Healing
The Verdict is in and the Results are Null
by Michael Shermer
American Heart Journal
April 2006
In a long-awaited comprehensive scientific study on the effects of intercessory prayer on the health and recovery of 1,802 patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery in six different hospitals, prayers offered by strangers had no effect. In fact, contrary to common belief, patients who knew they were being prayed for had a higher rate of post-operative complications such as abnormal heart rhythms, possibly the result of anxiety caused by learning that they were being prayed for and thus their condition was more serious than anticipated.
The study, which cost $2.4 million (most of which came from the John Templeton Foundation), was begun almost a decade ago and was directed by Harvard University Medical School cardiologist Dr. Herbert Benson and published in The American Heart Journal, was by far the most rigorous and comprehensive study on the effects of intercessory prayer on the health and recovery of patients ever conducted. In addition to the numerous methodological flaws in the previous research corrected for in the Benson study, Dr. Richard Sloan, a professor of behavioral medicine at Columbia and author of the forthcoming book, Blind Faith: The Unholy Alliance of Religion and Medicine, explained:
The problem with studying religion scientifically is that you do violence to the phenomenon by reducing it to basic elements that can be quantified, and that makes for bad science and bad religion.
The 1,802 patients were divided into three groups, two of which were prayed for by members of three congregations: St. Paul's Monastery in St. Paul, Minnesota; the Community of Teresian Carmelites in Worcester, Massachusetts; and Silent Unity, a Missouri prayer ministry near Kansas City. The prayers were allowed to pray in their own manner, but they were instructed to include the following phrase in their prayers: "for a successful surgery with a quick, healthy recovery and no complications." Prayers began the night before the surgery and continued daily for two weeks after. Half the prayer-recipient patients were told that they were being prayed for while the other half were told that they might or might not receive prayers. The researchers monitored the patients for 30 days after the operations.
Results showed no statistically significant differences between the prayed-for and non-prayed-for groups. Although the following findings were not statistically significant, 59% of patients who knew that they were being prayed for suffered complications, compared with 51% of those who were uncertain whether they were being prayed for or not; and 18% in the uninformed prayer group suffered major complications such as heart attack or stroke, compared with 13% in the group that received no prayers.
This study is particularly significant because Herbert Benson has long been sympathetic to the possibility that intercessory prayer can positively influence the health of patients. His team's rigorous methodologies overcame the numerous flaws that called into question previously published studies. The most commonly cited study in support of the connection between prayer and healing is:
Randolph C. Byrd, "Positive Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer in a Coronary Care Unit Population," Southern Medical Journal 81 (1998): 826–829.
The two best studies on the methodological problems with prayer and healing include the following:
Richard Sloan, E. Bagiella, and T. Powell. 1999. "Religion, Spirituality, and Medicine," The Lancet. Feb. 20, Vol. 353: 664–667; and,
John T. Chibnall, Joseph M. Jeral, Michael Cerullo. 2001. "Experiments on Distant Intercessory Prayer." Archives of Internal Medicine, Nov. 26, Vol. 161: 2529–2536. www.archinternmed.com
The most significant flaws in all such studies include the following:
In 2001, the Journal of Reproductive Medicine published a study by three Columbia University researchers claiming that prayer for women undergoing in-vitro fertilization resulted in a pregnancy rate of 50%, double that of women who did not receive prayer. Media coverage was extensive. ABC News medical correspondent Dr. Timothy Johnson, for example, reported, "A new study on the power of prayer over pregnancy reports surprising results; but many physicians remain skeptical." One of those skeptics was a University of California Clinical Professor of Gynecology and Obstetrics named Bruce Flamm, who not only found numerous methodological errors in the experiment, but also discovered that one of the study's authors, Daniel Wirth (AKA "John Wayne Truelove"), is not an M.D., but an M.S. in parapsychology who has since been indicted on felony charges for mail fraud and theft, for which he pled guilty. The other two authors have refused comment, and after three years of inquires from Flamm the journal removed the study from its website and Columbia University launched an investigation.
Lack of Controls
Many of these studies failed to control for such intervening variables as age, sex, education, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, marital standing, degree of religiosity, and the fact that most religions have sanctions against such insalubrious behaviors as sexual promiscuity, alcohol and drug abuse, and smoking. When such variables are controlled for, the formerly significant results disappear. One study on recovery from hip surgery in elderly women failed to control for age; another study on church attendance and illness recovery did not consider that people in poorer health are less likely to attend church; a related study failed to control for levels of exercise.
Outcome Differences
In one of the most highly publicized studies of cardiac patients prayed for by born-again Christians, 29 outcome variables were measured but on only six did the prayed-for group show improvement. In related studies, different outcome measures were significant. To be meaningful, the same measures need to be significant across studies, because if enough outcomes are measured some will show significant correlations by chance.
File-Drawer Problem
In several studies on the relationship between religiosity and mortality (religious people allegedly live longer), a number of religious variables were used, but only those with significant correlations were reported. Meanwhile, other studies using the same religiosity variables found different correlations and, of course, only reported those. The rest were filed away in the drawer of non-significant findings. When all variables are factored in together, religiosity and mortality show no relationship.
Operational Definitions
When experimenting on the effects of prayer, what, precisely, is being studied? For example, what type of prayer is being employed? (Are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Wiccan, and Shaman prayers equal?) Who or what is being prayed to? (Are God, Jesus, and a universal life force equivalent?) What is the length and frequency of the prayer? (Are two 10-minute prayers equal to one 20-minute prayer?) How many people are praying and does their status in the religion matter? (Is one priestly prayer identical to ten parishioner prayers?) Most prayer studies either lack such operational definitions, or there is no consistency across studies in such definitions.
Theological Implications
The ultimate fallacy of all such studies is theological. If God is omniscient and omnipotent, He should not need to be reminded or inveigled that someone needs healing. Scientific prayer makes God a celestial lab rat, leading to bad science and worse religion

We were connected once with SMART BRO INTERNET BROADBAND. We made contact with their marketing representative. We were satisfied then and agreed to have Smart Bro Broadband as our Internet service.
Not for long, Smart Bro people came to our residence here in Davao and installed the necessary modem, cables and antenna for the broadband Internet connection.
Smart Bro installers usually install a 10 to 20 feet of GI pipe on top of the roof of your home. And they set up the receiver and transceiver on top of the pipe.
That gadget has a cable that in turn is measured to reach and connect to the personal or laptop computer inside your home or office. That pipe is then tied with GI tie wires for reinforcement. The connection was successful and right then on they tested its speed which they said was 1 MBps.
We were glad at last we have our own SMART BRO INTERNET connection. We are now officially subscribed with Smart Bro Broadband Internet. Now we could go online and do whatever it is one does with the World Wide Web.
For months we were using Smart Bro. The connection was solely used for my laptop. I badly needed to upgrade from the prepaid (Smart bro usb plug it) broadband to the regular Smart Bro subscription.
We would pay every month for the dues to stay connected and avoid disconnection. We were also informed that we are subscribed with the 2 Year Plan. This meant that we would wait for two years before we could or whether we'd decide to unsubscribe from our Smart Bro connection. It was agreed upon by us as the subscriber, to continue using SMART BRO INTERNET for a minimum of two years. This would in turn would fairly give us the decision to stay subscribed or try for another Internet Broadband Provider.
I didn't really want to know how to measure every Broadband's connection Internet speed. It was however emphasized then that they have a broadband speed of up to 2Mbps. I read about technical terms like HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) and HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access). It was understood that Smart Bro's Internet Speed was based on this technical terms or protocols. This was the speed Smart Bro Broadband Internet was characterized with.
It would clearly fraudulent if this is not satisfied on every SMART BRO INTERNET connection. It wouldn't hurt–although their business would–if they could just be truthful if their Internet speed is not accurately proven or not. The connection should apply for all locations regardless of the distance and proximity to their connection towers. It should be emphasized by their marketing executives whether their Internet service is not that reliable.
The Internet Services could very well be compared to the regular need of every household or offices. We have the Water Service, The Electrical and Power Company, and the Telephone Company. And because now we have this need for the Internet, Broadband Internet service should provide the best service akin to these and what they claim to be providing.
I understand when there are service interruption sometimes. It could for hours sometimes even days. It's so sad when it happens almost once a week and accepting it as a normal occurrence. And because of this, after two unfortunate years, we settled for PLDT DSL.
This is my Internet connection speed right now here in Davao:
Compare it to what I had in Cebu 2 years ago with Smart Bro Canopy. This was the time I'd been gone for Cebu and have myself installed and subscribed to this Smart Bro Canopy in my apartment.
Well, isn't Smart Bro under the wings of PLDT now?
3 Comments
i haven't used smartbro. mahina kasi signal dito samin, maybe this month may 4G LTE na dito, hopefully.
So is the rep's name Royce from Tahoe? He is my friend who went to work for Smart Broadband is it a good service?

The freakin thing blew out on me going home tonight. We were almost home when I noticed the temp. gauge hovering just below the red, but not climbing any more, yet. At home, popped the hood and both fans going to beat the band. Crawled around underneath with my flash light, and there it was horror of horrors, anti-freeze still kind of pumping out the hole in the steel pipes at the location around the welded on bracket. Shut off the engine, still not in the red yet, check coolant resevoir, bone dry. CRAP!
Does any one know the approx. cost of these pipes (in Ontario Canada)! Has anybody ever had the pleasure of replacing them. I do need the rear heat for the little tykes on the long winter trips up north to -40 Deg. Celsius land. Any info would be appreciated. It is my 2001 Grand Caravan by the way. Thanks. I am almost too petrified to call the stealer for pricing.

Just purchased a Python, blued with a 6" barrel, for $1,000. Beautiful! The serial number is E15449. That's from 1969, right? And, any suggestions as to where I can get some original grips for it? It came with custom grips, but I'd like to have originals.
I love E model Pythons. I have a 6 inch blue, a 4 inch blue and a 4 inch nickel. Gunbroker usually has some advertised and Colt themselves may have some in a closet somewhere.
I will keep an eye out and see what I can find if you like.
Thanks, guys. I'll check out gunbroker.
That is a great price on that gun.
Yours would be a 1970 (serial numbers that year E6301 - E21200 total number made 14,900). You will need a Gen 2 target grip. They will have a "half-moon" under the colt medallion. Be careful buying grips because there is a ton of fakes out there. A good set of stocks will cost you around $200 and a good source is coltforum.com.
I have no idea on where to find original grips but congratulations on a great find.
Would you know when my python was made and if its stainless or nickel.....Serial# kt9838 thanks
The year and if its stanless or nickel,,,serial#kt9838

Gee whiz: The Ford Falcon G6E Turbo is in demand, says Ford.
16 June 2009
By JAMES STANFORD
FORD Australia is taking the rare step of increasing production in June to meet demand on select models as Falcon sedan closes the sales gap on Holden's top-selling Commodore.
Ford came within one percentage point of its arch rival in overall sales last month, but was hamstrung by lack of a fresh Falcon wagon to match Holden's Sportwagon.
Ford Australia president Marin Burela said the company had cancelled two scheduled production down days to increase volumes.
"As a matter of fact, we are looking at whether we can increase, for the month of June, our line rate or through-put for the last two weeks to see whether we can get some more units out," he said.
"There is a call from dealers and customers for Territorys, for Utilities, for Falcon and G6E Turbo."
Mr Burela says Ford dealers had waiting lists for premium G6E Turbo models, with most customers having to wait until as late as October to take delivery.
He said demand for specific models reflected the take up of higher specification models in the FG range, with far more Ford customers buying the higher-end G6E and XR models than the entry level XT.
In another positive for Ford Australia, the Falcon sedan came within a few sales of beating the Holden Commodore sedan in May, according to VFACTS data.
Publicly released VFACTS figures show that in May, Holden sold 3683 Commodores compared to Ford shifting 2846 Falcons, but these numbers included wagons.
"The difference when you look at Falcon and Commodore is the delta between the two wagons," says Mr Burela.
"Whereas sedan to sedan in May we were climbing and climbing and we were within 10 or 15 cars of one another."
While Holden is selling a new VE Sportwagon, Ford Australia is soldiering on with a BF III version of the wagon with no FG version in the pipeline.
Mr Burela said Ford still sold about 300 to 400 Falcon wagons a month and was yet to decide if it would invest in an upgrade.
"We continue to look at what we should do and we haven't come to a conclusion yet," he said.
"We took the view of waiting to see what happens.
"We are being cautious as we move forward because every decision you make on product like that means millions and millions and millions of dollars and the last thing I want to do is invest our scarce resources where we don't need to invest them."

The Incredible Maze
by Professor Layton
reviewed on WII
Lost in The Incredible Maze!
As reviewers, we are supposed to have a built in radar that seeks out every promising upcoming game. Yet every now and then a game goes undetected until it is released and turns out to be a great find. Take Art Style: Orbient for instance, before it was released on WiiWare nobody even knew the game existed. It has been peaking at number 5 on the Popular Titles section of the Wii Shop Channel in both Canada and the United States ever since.
Following in Nintendos footsteps, Digital Leisure has released their debut WiiWare title, The Incredible Maze. Announced through Nintendos early-morning press releases last Monday, The Incredible Maze is a yet another puzzle game. Wii owners have seen puzzle games popping out of the woodwork, but this one is not your typical falling-block game. In fact, this maze game is a puzzle unto itself.
Hit and Miss
I am going to be honest; when I received this game as a review copy from Digital Leisure, I had high hopes for the game, but somewhere in my mind I thought about previous games that had the words 'amazing' or 'incredible' in them. Nine chances out of ten these games were either mediocre or far below. Unfortunately though, The Incredible Maze is certainly not an exception.
Digital Leisure tried to take the puzzle genre to new heights on WiiWare. The majority of the games from this genre either involve falling blocks, shooting blocks, or some other far-fetched idea involving blocks. The Incredible Maze takes a different approach. By taking control of a table, players attempt to navigate a ball through a maze, avoiding holes, edges, and other obstacles that have been placed along the way. I know that this sounds like a pretty good concept on paper but the developer has just executed it poorly. So poorly that on occasion you will reach a point where the game is can barely be called playable.
Now then, where does the problem arise with the game? Simple its controls. The Incredible Maze can be played either by holding the Wii Remote vertically or using the Wii Balance Board. Though both control schemes pose a threat to both gameplay and your sanity, the latter is by far the better of the two. The former doesnt quite give players as much precision as the latter, but since the Wii Balance Board can only be purchased via Wii Fit, which many core gamers detest, most will likely have to stick with the inaccurate Wii Remote.
Its a Little Dark in Here
At a glance, one could easily assume that The Incredible Maze was a low-budget Nintendo 64 game the menus, graphics, and audio are all dated. The atrocious dark-themed levels not only hurt the look of the game but also its playability. In the upper-levels, the stages get so dark that some people are likely to have trouble manipulating the ball around the obstacles.
Nothing incredible
Putting the word 'Incredible' into a title doesn't make it so. It is a shame to see that the developers took such an extremely simple concept and executed it so poorly. You will be hard pressed to find even an hour of enjoyment in the thirty levels that the game is boasting. The Incredible Maze is just another example of a shallow game that could have been made better with some extra TLC. Avoid it at all costs, even if the low price and block size seems tempting. Trust me, there are a lot better ways to spend 500 Wii Points than on this shovelware.

In this introductory chapter, we work in a one-dimensional (1-D) setting. Firstly, we exemplify the nonstandard integration method we are going to use systematically in Part II. Secondly, we exemplify the Green-kernel integration method to be exploited, in particular, for the problems collected in Part III. Finally, we use these two integration methods to solve the 1-D versions of Kelvin's and Mindlin's problems.

text: I think this whole trademark thing is old business for Apple. The trademark "APPLEWIRE" was filed on July 6,1998, and expired on March 6, 2001, three days before the priority date given for "GIGAWIRE." The description may have changed somewhat since three years ago, but I think it is about as relevant as the trademark "AIRMAC" which just might have an application with the upcoming device. Just because they have a trademark doesn't mean they have a product that needs it. It could even mean they acquired it to thwart copycats with similar/confusing product descriptions/names. Of course, they don't have "Macintosh Manager" trademarked, for various reasons. This could all refer to a new product that has been in development stages since March, but I don't think this new digital media device needs a new transfer medium. The fact that no Mac (media hub) shipping today will have it pretty much rules it out. However, there is the possibility that it will refer to IEEE 1394 @ 1600Mbit/s, if they decide to rebrand it for marketing purposes in future Macs.

Ballet Stretches and Flexibility Exercises
Ballet stretching exercises to improve your performance and do away with ballet injuries for good.
Humans have probably always danced in one form or another since the beginning of time. One form of dance is ballet: Part sport, part performing art, its beginnings can be traced back to the Italian Renaissance courts. Performances took place in large halls and included other arts such as painting or poetry and even followed the dining menu theme.
If you're looking to improve your ballet or just seeking to prevent ballet injuries it is important to follow the information in this article. In addition, adding a few simple stretches to your fitness program will also help. To get started on a safe and effective stretching routine that's just right for you, check out the Ultimate Guide to Stretching & Flexibility.
The word ballet is considered to be French but it actually originates from ballo, meaning dance in Italian. Ballo in turn is based on the Latin word ballare.
The earliest forms of ballet were performed in large chambers, with the audience seated on tiers or galleries on three sides of the dancing floor. Thus, an important component of performance is a choreography that emphasizes floor patterns that can be visible from above. This requires dancers to cover a fairly extensive floor area, which in turn determines how a dancer's body moves and uses various muscle groups.
Within a very short time, the French courts adopted ballet, further developing its style and technique. Many steps and positions known today come from France, where French ballet master Raoul Feuillet recorded much of the dance technique in the 1700's. For at least two hundred years, ballet was dominated by female dancers, but later, male dancers entered the scene, adding more acrobatic aspects to the art.
The use of pointe shoes appeared in the 18th century to give female dancers an appearance of weightlessness. Around that time, however, ballet began to decline in France but continued to develop in Russia, Italy and Denmark.
Today there are many recognized ballet methods being taught worldwide, the main ones still being French ballet, Italian ballet and Russian ballet. Modern day ballet also includes neoclassical ballet and contemporary ballet, forms of dance that are more intense than older, more lyrical forms.
Present day ballet dancers train as much as athletes in various sports, working on strength, technique, proper form and stamina. Elite dancers in particular are at risk of various overuse and acute injuries.
Although ballet is not commonly considered to be a sport, when one considers the demands of the technical training and performances, whether socially or professionally, it is wise to consider the demands on the body and the kinds of injuries that can occur. There are steps that can be taken in order to minimize injuries. Having a good knowledge of anatomy and developing a few prevention strategies, including a stretching routine, will help keep a dancer healthy.
Anatomy Involved
Ballet dancers are surprisingly strong, yet slim and supple. Which muscles are used in a more predominant fashion depends on the form of ballet and the gender of the dancer. For example, a male classical ballet dancer who performs lifts will require more upper body strength than a female dancer.
Although ballet dancers use all muscle groups, certain major muscle groups predominate. A ballet dancer not only spends a great deal of time developing form and technique, but also must dedicate a portion of training time to a strengthening and stretching program. Like gymnasts, ballet dancers, must be able to achieve an extensive range of motion. Ballet dancers in particular work to achieve flexibility in their back, hips, and ankles. This flexibility is what allows for certain movements and body shapes to be created and for the grace and ease of movement that is so characteristic of the best dancers. The following muscle groups are used predominantly by ballet dancers.
- Muscles of the lower back: the lower back is held erect by a number of muscle groups, including: the abdominals; the obliques; the erector muscles of the spine; and quadratus lumborum.
- Hip muscles: hip muscles relate to the pelvis and affect both the lower back stability and lower extremity balance. Hip flexors (iliopsoas) in particular are extensively used by ballet dancers. This muscle must be flexible enough to achieve a neutral pelvic position. Dancers with tight hip flexors, combined with weak abdominals, cause excessive pelvic tilt and increased disk compression in the spinal column.
- Hamstrings: one of the most important muscles in dancers, as this muscle is used in almost every movement. A lack of flexibility and strength in this muscle can cause excessive compression forces in the lower back.
- Core muscles: obliques, rectus abdominus and the spinal erectors.
Most Common Ballet Injuries
Ballet dancers suffer injuries of similar severity and frequency as other athletes. Most injuries in dancers are of the over-use type, due to the repetitive nature of the training, but acute injuries can also occur when a dancer uses incorrect technique or experiences lack of focus and fatigue.
Most commonly, ballet dancers experience injuries in the lower limbs, hip and back.
- Ankle and Foot Sprains: dancers experience problems in this part of their body quite often. Those who dance in pointes can develop posterior impingement syndrome. Others can develop Achilles tendinitis and stress fracture of the foot. One of the most common injuries is a lateral ligament injury of the ankle due to inversion. Some ankle problem stem from muscular and anatomical problems in the hips.
- Back Strain: dancers need a strong, flexible back. They can experience muscle spasm and disc compression problems if they try a high level dance without proper technical and anatomical preparation.
- Pulled Hamstring: this muscle can develop excessive tightness and eventual small tears and scarring.
- Shin Splints: often due to tight calf muscles and a tight Achilles tendon.
- Ligament Sprains and Meniscal Tears of the Knee: these injuries often stem from limited hip rotation. Dancers with "tight" hips tend to compensate with their knees and ankles, thus placing abnormal forces on these joints, leading to injury.
Injury Prevention Strategies
In order to minimize the occurrence of injuries dancers must attend to various areas that impact how their body will experience the training and performance.
- Instruction in proper technique is critical. Dancers must pay very close attention to proper posture and alignment: "shoulders over hips, over knees, over ankles" is an important concept to remember.
- Pacing the training: This means, new more difficult movements and combinations should only be introduced when the dancer has developed sufficient strength, flexibility and technical foundation to perform the new movement correctly and with ease. "Pushing" a dancer can be counter productive.
- Regular stretching: it is recommended that all ballet dancers incorporate a thorough stretching program into their training, if not daily, then at least 3-4 times per week. The areas that require particular attention are the hip flexors, hamstrings and calves as well as working to develop a good hip turnout.
- Strength training: Although dancers do not commonly use weight lifting, they can benefit greatly from dance specific strength training using one's own body weight. Aside from a good overall program, special attention should be given to balancing the hamstring and quadriceps strength, as imbalances in that area are at the root of many back and lower body overuse problems. Many dancers also find that regular core strengthening helps create good balance and control, thus minimizing excessive work by the wrong muscle groups.
- Manage fatigue and stress: it is a known fact that most athletes and dancers perform best when rested and relaxed. Fatigue and stress cause muscle tightness and lack of focus, thus greatly increasing the risk of acute injuries.
- Special attention to the needs of growing dancers: during the growth spurts of adolescence dancers lose a great deal of flexibility, strength and balance. During this critical time of increased injury risk, a thorough strength and stretching regimen is even more crucial.
The Top 3 Ballet Stretches
Stretching is one of the most under-utilized techniques for improving athletic performance, preventing sports injury and properly rehabilitating sprain and strain injury. Don't make the mistake of thinking that something as simple as stretching won't be effective. Below are 3 very beneficial stretches for ballet; obviously there are a lot more, but these are a great place to start. Please make special note of the instructions beside each stretch.
Standing Reach-up Quad Stretch: Stand upright and take one small step forwards. Reach up with both hands, push your hips forwards, lean back and then lean away from your back leg.
Single Heel-drop Achilles Stretch: Stand on a raised object or step and place the ball of one foot on the edge of the step. Bend your knee slightly and let your heel drop towards the ground.
Kneeling Heel-down Achilles Stretch: Kneel on one foot and place your body weight over your knee. Keep your heel on the ground and lean forward.

Potato towers: Planting time
In each tower, I planted a single layer of seed potatoes. Each has its own variety: Bintje, German Butterball, Yellow Finn, Banana Fingerlings, and Rose Finn Fingerlings.
The varieties came from Full Belly Farm — their potatoes have a very high reputation in our test kitchen — and Darryl Wong from Free Wheelin Farm.

Description: For more than two decades, John J. Mearsheimer has been regarded as one of the foremost realist thinkers on foreign policy. Clear and incisive as well as a fearlessly honest analyst, his coauthored 2007New York Timesbestseller,The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, aroused a firestorm with its unflinching look at the making of America's Middle East policy. Now he takes a look at another controversial but understudied aspect of international relations: lying.InWhy Leaders Lie,Mearsheimer provides the first systematic analysis of lying as a tool of statecraft, identifying the varieties, the reasons, and the potential costs and benefits. Drawing on a wealth of examples, he argues that leaders often lie for good strategic reasons, so a blanket condemnation is unrealistic and unwise. Yet there are other kinds of deception besides lying, including concealment and spinning. Perhaps no distinction is more important than that between lying to another state and lying to one's own people. Mearsheimer was amazed to discover how unusual interstate lying has been; given the atmosphere of distrust among the great powers, he found that outright deceit is difficult to pull off and thus rarely worth the effort. Moreover, it sometimes backfires when it does occur. Khrushchev lied about the size of the Soviet missile force, sparking an American build-up. Eisenhower was caught lying about U-2 spy flights in 1960, which scuttled an upcoming summit with Krushchev. Leaders are more likely to mislead their own publics than other states, sometimes with damaging consequences. Though the reasons may be noble--Franklin Roosevelt, for example, lied to the American people about German U-boats attacking the destroyer USS Greer in 1940, to build a case for war against Hitler-they can easily lead to disaster, as with the Bush administration's falsehoods about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.There has never been a sharp analysis of international lying. Now a leading expert provides a richly informed and powerfully argued work that will change our understanding of why leaders lie.

A super delicious and nourishing salad with pomegranate, roasted squash, maple caramelized pecans and tahini dressing
En super lækker og sund salat med granatæble, bagt squash, ahorn karamelliserede pekan nødder og tahini dressing
Summerhouse. Rain. Tea. A good book. Big knits. Cooking.
Six things that are essential ingredients in the perfect cosy relaxing day. Today was such a lovely day, thanks to autumn holiday. I've pretty much spend the day dancing around in the summer house kitchen making delicious food while wearing one of my big knits, photograph the outcome and listening to Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (yep, I'm such a geek, 4th time reading that series). Everything while it was raining cats and dogs outside.
Sommerhus. Regn. Te. En god bog. Store striktrøjer. Madlavning.
Seks ting, der tilsammen udgør ingredienserne i den perfekte hygge- og afslapningsdag. Og lige netop sådan en dag har det været i dag takket være efterårsferie. Jeg har stort set brugt hele dagen på at tulle rundt i sommerhus-køkkenet og lave lækker mad iført en af mine store dejlige striktrøjer, fotografere resultatet mens jeg lyttede til Stephen Fry læse op af Harry Potter og dødsregalierne. Alt imens det stod ned i stænger udenfor. Skønt!
Autumn produce is definitely some of my favourites. I mean, I love the asparagus of spring and the first rhubarb in the summer, but there is something about mushrooms, squash, beets, nuts and apples. I had to make a salad with all of my favourite things.
Efterårsafgrøder er helt sikkert nogle af mine yndlings råvarer. Jeg mener, jeg elsker forårets første asparges og sommerens rabarber, men der er bare noget over svampe, græskar, grønkål, rodfrugter, nødder og æbler. Jeg måtte bare lave en salat med alle mine yndlingsefterårsting!
I found the most beautiful muscat squash at the grocery store this morning, and with Harry Potter in my ears and the ain pouring down outside, this salad came to life. Definitely one of my favourites.
Oh, and for dinner I made this delicious mushroom pasta dish (yep, one of the seldom times where I eat pasta) and this delicious salad – both made by two of my favourite bloggers.
Jeg fandt det smukkeste Muscat de Provence græskar oppe ved grønthandleren i formiddag og med Harry Potter i årene og regnen væltende ned uden for trissede jeg rundt i køkkenet og kreerede denne salat. Helt sikkert min nye yndlings.
Oh, og til familien lavede jeg denne skønne svampe pastaret (jep, en af de sjældne gange jeg spiser pasta) og denne lækre salat – lavet af to af mine yndlingsbloggere.

Educators are calling ORIGO Stepping Stones "a breath of fresh air" and "the only program that truly teaches conceptual mathematics." The standards emphasize developing an understanding of, and becoming fluent with, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The focus is on conceptual learning as compared with the procedural methods of past standards. The program also narrows the scope of content taught in order to focus on learning concepts deeply and building a solid mathematical foundation.
This shift in instruction will help students learn how to think rather than what to think, along with developing higher-order math skills. Teachers will lead class discussions on problem solving and students will apply strategies to find the answer rather than simply plug numbers into a formula. This approach will help students translate mathematical concepts to real-world scenarios so they are more prepared for college and career success.
