Small size. Bigger possibilities.
In a footprint of less than 2 square feet (0.19 square meters), the compact, 16-channel StudioLive® 16.0.2 offers 8 mono input channels, 4 stereo channels, and 4 aux buses, each with a high-quality, 60 mm fader. You get generous analog I/O, 12 XMAX Class A solid-state mic preamps, a Talkback input with Class A mic preamp, extensive signal processing with physical controls, MIDI control, accurate metering, and a built-in multichannel recording interface. As with all StudioLive mixers, the 16.0.2 comes with a suite of tightly integrated recording, control, and audio analysis software. And it's so lightweight and compact that you can easily hold it in one hand and tuck it under your arm.
You'll never run out of signal processors.
StudioLive 16.0.2 mixers provide plenty of DSP power, with no limitations, no shared resources, no figuring out what processing is available where. You have all of the processing available at all times, with no compromises or caveats. The unique Fat Channel provides a compressor, limiter, expander, and 3-band semi-parametric EQ on every channel and bus; a highpass filter on each channel; phase reverse for the channel mic preamps; a library of professionally crafted presets; and the ability to save and selectively recall processor settings. A stereo, 31-band graphic EQ sits on the main bus. To top it off, you get two 32-bit delay/reverb effects processors, each with its own dedicated mix bus and a library of useful effects presets.
Superior sound.
Connect a StudioLive 16.0.2 mixer and you'll instantly hear details and clarity you'd expect to find only in a much more expensive console. StudioLive mixers operate at up to 48 kHz for high-definition mixing and recording. High-quality Burr-Brown converters on every input and output provide a best-in-class 118 dB of dynamic range so you'll catch every high and low with great accuracy and no audible distortion. And our XMAX microphone preamps deliver incredibly high headroom, deep lows, smooth highs, and a rich overall sound.
What makes the StudioLive 16.0.2 mixer's sound quality so good?]
We start with a great microphone preamplifier. The job of a microphone preamplifier in a digital mixer is to boost a microphone-level signal to line level before conversion to the digital domain. A good preamp boosts the level to almost 400 times that of the original signal, making the preamp one of the most important stages in an interface. A cheap, off-the-shelf, op-amp-type mic preamp delivers thin, noisy, harsh results. But with XMAX preamps, the sonic quality is limited only by the microphone you plug into it.
XMAX preamplifiers are built with three key elements:
- Class A. Class A circuits have no crossover distortion and deliver purer, clearer, and more musical results than the Class AB designs that are found in many preamps.
- High Voltage. The XMAX preamplifier runs on power rails of 30V. Most off-the-shelf, op-amp-based designs run on power rails of 10V to 18V. Higher-voltage power rails deliver more headroom, deeper lows, smoother highs, and a richer overall sound.
- Discrete components—not op-amps. We only use genuine transistors, resistors, and capacitors. Op-amps add noise, coloration, and harshness to a signal. Our discrete design delivers ultra-low noise and transparency.
The net result of the XMAX preamp design is high headroom, low noise, wide dynamic range, extended frequency response, and—most important—musicality and transparency.
Once the signal is precisely converted to the digital domain by high-quality Burr-Brown converters, synchronization to your computer is stable and robust, thanks to JetPLL synchronization technology. JetPLL incorporates noise shaping to virtually remove all audio-band jitter, ensuring near-perfect clock performance and optimal converter performance when networking two or more digital-audio devices. JetPLL quickly locks to any digital format through a wide range of frequencies and is extremely robust and tolerant of wide variations in clock frequencies. As a result, you'll experience better stereo separation and clearer, more transparent audio.
Recording is in StudioLive 16.0.2's DNA.
The StudioLive 16.0.2's built-in 16x16 multitrack recording interface is tightly integrated with the rest of the mixer—not an afterthought we tacked on. All 16 channels continuously stream to your FireWire-connected Mac® or Windows® PC. Each channel can independently access its analog input or its dedicated digital return from your computer. And with StudioLive mixers, recording is simple and easy: Just launch the included, preconfigured Capture™ software for one-click recording of all channel inputs and your main mix. Or record with the included Studio One® 3 Artist DAW—or any recording software that supports ASIO or Core Audio. Now you can record in the studio or at the gig with equal ease.
Integrated, multiplatform software for flexible control and one-click recording.
Only PreSonus StudioLive mixers are tightly integrated with an entire suite of state-of-the-art software. Mix on a Mac or Windows PC using Virtual StudioLive (VSL). Mix on an iPad® using StudioLive Remote. Control individual monitor mixes onstage with QMix® for iPhone®/iPod® touch. Completely automate virtual soundchecks and record shows with Capture™ for Mac and Windows. Tune your system to the room and watch for problems in your mix with VSL's integrated Smaart® RTA and spectrograph. Edit, sweeten, and digitally release your recordings with Studio One 3 Artist. StudioLive-series mixers and software work together to form a cohesive ecosystem that helps you achieve your creative vision.
Dedicated analog connections for predictable signal flow.
Take a look at back panel of a StudioLive 16.0.2 mixer, and you'll find the robust connections you'd expect from an analog mixer: balanced mic inputs on each of the 8 mono channels; 8 balanced ¼-inch line inputs; 4 unbalanced RCA line inputs; and dedicated balanced outputs for each of the 4 aux buses and the main stereo bus. Every input channel and bus send has its own dedicated jack—no sharing, no compromises—so you always know what's flowing from each output.
Add excitement to performances with MIDI control.
Being able to control the 16.0.2 from an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch is cool — unless your hands are busy playing your instrument. That's why the StudioLive 16.0.2 offers something even the bigger StudioLive AI-series consoles don't: MIDI In and Out. Use a MIDI footpedal or DAW to recall scenes using MIDI Program Changes, control the main output volume and effects level, mute effects between songs, switch from lots of reverb to a little bit of delay, and change the mix for a solo. You can even automate these features with a DAW! It's a great way to make your performances more exciting and varied, even if you don't have a separate soundperson.
Better mixing with StudioLive family values.
It's easy to love this portable powerhouse. To learn more, visit the Media tab on the upper section of this page and watch our StudioLive 16.0.2 videos.

Two New Jersey men admitted to stealing from as many as 1,000 cars in Upper, Middle and Dennis Townships and Somers Point since June, according to State Police Woodbine.
Police say Christopher Mander, 23, and Vincent Laracombe, 25, stole purses, wallets, laptops, iPods, GPS Devices and even a BB gun.
"There were a lot of people that did feel terrorized by this. We had phone calls from people who didn't feel safe in their homes," said Detective Mark Devine.
Mander and Laracombe would shine flashlights into cars and if they saw something they wanted, they would smash the car windows, according to Devine.
Investigators are working to track down victims and believe many of them may have been visitors to Cape May County.
They want anyone whose car was broken into in Cape May County to call the state police barracks at 609-861-5698.
Mander and Laracomb are being held in the Cape May County jail on $100,000 bail.

trying to visualize statistical parameters from a large netlist, I got an error because the number of lines of output would be greater than 1900, so the window got truncated.
However, I also got a 'hint' from the CIW, on how to use ocnPrint to output...
As the image says, I get the hint <Expression in window title>, but the expression is just "Form" and this does not work :(
I then tried to put the software in 'verbose' mode, as to try and extrapolate this important piece of info..
but I could not spot the window title/name, or the expression that I needed to feed to the ocnPrint function. I found however what happended when right-clicking on the Results pane in ADEXL:
So, in the end of the day, some questions:
- is the hint of using ocnPrint with <Expression in window title> something that can be used in this context?
- if yes, what is the right expression to use there?
- what process should one follow to find this type of info on his own?
- what about the _axlDisplayStatisticalDataForPoint function? Why can't I find it? Am I looking in the wrong places?
- if one had time and will, what would be a reasonable path to learn where to find/apply this type of info, and maybe build on them?
Everytime I get confronted with Ocean/SKILL stuff, I always get lost :(...Still, I have a feeling this could improve my productivity as a designer manyfold, if I ever get the key to the realm.
Thank you in advance for your help,

IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum: Emmert, ADs Feel Rise In Coaching Salaries Not Sustainable
Coaching salaries cannot continue to rise at their current rate, said NCAA President Mark Emmert during the opening of the '12 IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum in N.Y. But he added that there was little regulation that could be put in place, save for the drastic scenario of athletic departments running out of money. "It's a free market, with huge pressure and a limited number of skilled people," Emmert said. "It's something that we all have to live with. I was asked the other day when will coaches' salaries be capped, and I said, 'When athletic departments run out of money,' and I wasn't being facetious." He added that the current system is not sustainable. "We don't have a legal structure where we say, 'Thou shalt not pay more than X for a coach or an assistant coach,'" he said. "At the close of every season, there's a bidding war for coaches. So the system where someone suggesting they might hire your coach and now you have to pay them more, that's not sustainable." The issue of coaching salaries was prominent not only during a one-on-one interview with Emmert, but on subsequent panels throughout the day. Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman talked about the complexity of the issue and how it affects an entire athletic department. "The whole effort over the last couple of years to control athletic costs, since you can't control salaries, is to do things that aren't good for students," he said.
WHAT TO DO? There were few specifics of possible options to control costs, but Perlman brought up the option of studying a legal remedy. "We know the antitrust laws prohibit us from agreeing to cap coaches' salaries," he said, "so there's really two options. One is to figure out a creative way to do it within the antitrust laws. Or, second, is to get the antitrust laws changed. I know there's great reluctance, but there's been conversations within the NCAA about going before Congress and doing something about this." Emmert countered, "It's been discussed for years, but the notion right now of going before Congress and trying to figure out a highly-complex, highly-political bill, or an antitrust model for intercollegiate athletics, would probably have more unintended consequences than any of us could imagine. If the NCAA is a 'weird' decision-making organization, then I'm not sure what the right adjective is for Congress. To turn over our fate to them at this moment would be risky." Perlman stressed one area he would most like to see accomplished in the next year is "some control over coaches' salaries." But then he added he is "realistic" and knows it is unlikely to happen.
FROM ONE WHO WENT THROUGH IT: N.C. State AD Debbie Yow discussed the pressure of rising salaries in hiring coaches, as she just went through it over the last two weeks in hiring Dave Doeren from Northern Illinois as the school's new football coach. "We pressed really hard, very fast," she said. "I consider (the deal) a bargain at $1.8 million (annually). We did the buyout, but he paid some taxes. For those who may not have thought that, paying the taxes is a big deal, it's a point of discussion. I think it was 17% of the buyout." She admitted to being relieved to get a deal for a football coach at less than $2M a year. "It was an extraordinary relief to get out for $1.8 and get the person we wanted," Yow said. "Because I'm watching now from the sidelines, and as far as I can tell, the numbers are going up every single day, and the pool was shallow this year of qualified coaches, with way too many schools out looking. So it's a coaches market and the majority of schools don't have theirs filled." Michigan State AD Mark Hollis stressed it was not just the salaries of a head coach impacting the department's finances, saying, "There's been a trickle down effect. Not only the position of hiring somebody, it's retaining coaches."SAMPLING OF RECENT HIRES BY FBS SCHOOLS
Arkansas Bret Bielema6$3.2M Bobby Petrino*$3.6M Auburn Gus Malzahn5$2.3M Gene Chizik$3.6M N.C. State Dave Doeren5$1.8M Tom O'Brien$1.9M Kentucky Mark Stoops5$1.1M Joker Phillips$1.7M
NOTE: * = Petrino signed a seven-year extension in December '10, but was fired by Arkansas following an attempt to cover up an affair with a female football employee. Petrino was succeeded by now-former coach John L. Smith, who signed a 10-month contract for $850,000.
Parting Gifts: "OTL" Addresses Schools Paying Large Buyouts To Fired Coaches
As numerous high-profile colleges have recently fired their football coaches this season, schools have been forced to pay out millions of dollars in contract obligations. Syndicated radio host Paul Finebaum said Auburn firing football coach Gene Chizik just two years removed from winning the National Championship from a distance "looks like a bad decision, but up close it was a necessary evil, particularly because of Nick Saban." Finebaum: "If you keep a coach and it doesn't work, yes, you've saved $11 million ... but you have fallen farther behind. It sounds bad, but happens on Wall Street every day of the week." ESPN's Jeremy Schaap said those moves are "held accountable" by corporate BODs and shareholders, so are there "any consequences here for the presidents and ADs who make these bad hires and then the universities are in the hole for millions and millions of dollars?" ESPN's Darren Rovell said, "I am surprised that the athletic directors are not more often held accountable. To tell you the truth, over the last seven to 10 years as this has become more of a professional business, as the big-time agents have come to represent these coaches, ADs have gotten killed in contract negotiation time. ... When you see what some of these agents get for these guys, it is unbelievable." Northeastern Univ. AD Peter Roby said, "I thought we were in the business of higher education and so rather than worrying about what Alabama is doing, why isn't Auburn and other schools worried about what's in the best interests of the students and the institution with respect to educating young people? We have got schools leaving conferences, getting out of relationships, severing relationships, suing each other." Finebaum replied, "The reality is we are talking about professional sports" ("Outside The Lines," ESPN, 12/5).
IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum: Top College Officials Tackle Today's Issues
The first day of '12 IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum concluded with a diverse group of execs that shape the intercollegiate sports landscape touching on a variety of topics. Taking part in the panel were BCS Exec Dir Bill Hancock, NCAA Exec VP/Championships & Alliances Mark Lewis, ESPN Senior VP/College Sports Programming Burke Magnus, IMG College President Ben Sutton and Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick. Swarbrick said he was "surprised by the timing, but not the result" of the exit of Maryland from the ACC. When asked if it made him rethink the decision for Notre Dame to join the conference, he said it did not. Sutton believes we have not seen the end of realignment. Magnus added that from ESPN's perspective, "Instability is bad for business. ... Every move that has been made costs ESPN money." In the wake of the defections of Rutgers to the Big Ten and Louisville to the ACC, Magnus said of the future of the Big East and its negotiations with ESPN, "It's a different time than it was almost two years ago at this point. ... We're having discussions and we don't intend to cut off those conversations for any reason despite the recent activity. We still think there's content that we could see value in. Not to mention the fact that our company and the Big East are nearly exactly the same age to the day -- we have a 30-plus year history together so before that ceases to exist from a relationship perspective, we're going to take a good shot at keeping that going."
FOUR THE RECORD: Sutton addressed the college football playoff format to begin in '14. He said, "Four is the right number. ... It's hard for me to imagine it going past four because the regular season in college football is the greatest 14 weeks in sports in the United States of America. Period." Hancock, discussing the progress being made to iron out the details of the new format, said, "We do have a framework (on a revenue-sharing model). The next big step is the selection committee, who's on it, how many (people), and what are their procedures. ... The first venue will probably follow that and it will be selected pretty quickly." Hancock was asked whether college football can reclaim New Year's Day. He said, "You bet we can. I don't really know what's to reclaim? New Year's Day is college football and I hear that all the time."
Swarbrick predicts changes in business models
IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum: Realm Of Intellectual Properties Expanding In Sports
Navigating the exploding realm of digital and social media remains one of the most daunting and exciting challenges for university administrators and their media partners. A panel at the '12 IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum discussed intellectual properties and the associated challenges. There is no shortage of content opportunities for college athletic departments, particularly for Olympic sports that do not get as much exposure on TV and proportionately benefit more from digital distribution. With digital subscriber and advertising interest continuing to grow, revenue opportunities also are robust. But sorting out the distribution and rights landscapes remain a thorny issue. For example, a behind-the-scenes video of a team traveling to its next game -- fairly simple content to produce -- has quickly proven popular with many schools. But should that material go straight to the university's athletic website? To YouTube? To conference-run cable channels? National media partners? All of the above? How is the related revenue divided? How are fans properly directed without getting confused or frustrated? Learfield Sports Chief Content Officer Joe Ferreira said, "Awareness is a big issue, now that there's so much content and so many avenues." UCLA Senior Associate AD/External Relations Mark Harlan added, "The biggest challenge we have is having all the resources to support all this content. We're now all hiring videographers and storytellers. We did the same before with writers, generating content, and now we're doing the same with video. And that comes with a cost."
-- Ferreira on whether college sports, which are traditionally strong at the regional and local levels, still have untapped potential as a national entity: "People are buying into college football at those local levels. We need to look at how we drive that to a national level."
-- Google Head of Sport for North America Frank Golding has concerns with exploding TV rights fees. He said, "How do we grow the pie? We can't keep offering these kinds of rights fees without growing the pie."
-- NeuLion Exec VP Chris Wagner said that there is significant opportunity in college sports to develop more whip-around and scoring play-related content. Wagner: "People want to take the concept of 'RedZone' and apply it to college."
IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum: Qualities Of Successful Administrators Discussed
At the '12 IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum, a panel discussion titled, "The New Breed of Athletic Administrators," looked at qualities that define new leaders in college sports today. RSR Partners Sports Practice Managing Dir Joe Bailey, who served as the interim Big East Commissioner prior to Mike Aresco filling the position, said universities are looking for effective leaders with certain qualities: passion, vision, being trustworthy and having an ego strong enough to hire the best people. Arizona State AD & VP/Athletics Steve Patterson made sweeping changes when he joined the school nine months ago after a stint as president of Pro Sports Consulting and 25 years with the Rockets, Texans, Trail Blazers and AHL Houston Aeros. He said, "I had to accelerate the pace, accelerate accountability." At ASU, Patterson put in place individual business plans for each team, something that had never been done at the school. Patterson said, "A long-term business plan, a strategy, helps you get to where you want to get to." As a recommendation for young people looking to get into college athletics, Rutgers AD Tim Pernetti suggested finding internships outside the realm. Pernetti said, "Experience in the private sector is crucial. We're talking about businesses that can be over $150 million. It's a massive business." Bowling Green AD Greg Christopher clarified that being an AD is not just about running a business. He said, "These jobs are large-scale human resources jobs. You have to be able to manage relationships and know how to handle a range of issues."
IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum: ADs Discuss Lack Of Trust Amid Realignment
The flurry of conference realignment in college sports has created an "erosion of trust" among schools and conference commissioners, and an unhealthy environment in higher education, according to a panel of athletic directors at the '12 IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum. Missouri AD Mike Alden, whose school moved from the Big 12 to the SEC this year, used that phrase to describe the current climate of secret talks and backroom deals schools are making these days in the rush to put their institutions in better financial position. One example is Maryland, which recently jumped from the ACC to the Big Ten. Nobody knew it was coming and it was a messy process, said N.C. State AD Debbie Yow, who previously served as Maryland's AD. Yow said, "The presidents of the ACC trust each other and had an agreement that they would be contacted (by a school leaving the conference.) Obviously there wouldn't be any attempt to keep them from someone else but they would at least know. That's the trust factor and that didn't occur. I know (ACC Commissioner) John Swofford was trying diligently to get in touch with people and they didn't respond for two days. Not cool." She added, "They're going to be missed, there's no question about that. But they're going to be on a plane going to Madison, Wisconsin, to play men's basketball in the middle of winter. Good luck. I hope the money is really good."
EASIER SAID THAN DONE: UConn AD Warde Manuel said that for schools considering a move, it is not easy to have those discussions in private, knowing the rumors that surface over those talks could hurt negotiations. UConn is one school that has been mentioned as a candidate to move from the Big East to another league, possibly the ACC. He said, "The complications are the discussions we have at the Big East, different conference meetings with presidents and commissioners. The Big East has done a lot of great things for us and we've done a lot of great things for the Big East, but the landscape has changed. So I wouldn't be doing my due diligence if I didn't continue to look at what else is going (on) around me as it relates to what's to the benefit of Connecticut." He added there are a lot of "side conversations, rumors, innuendo, what's happening out there, what's going to happen." Manuel: "You just have to get through all that and concentrate on being better."
-- Alden, on the school moving to the SEC: "When you transfer to a new neighborhood, you have to learn who your neighbors are. We know over the course of the next several decades it will be a tremendous move. We weren't relevant in Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa-St. Pete. Our footprint went from 45 million households in the Big 12 to 89 million overnight. To expose Missouri to a broader audience has been a driving factor in all of this."
-- Michigan State AD Mark Hollis, on Big Ten realignment: "Nebraska involved a dating process before we got married. With Rutgers and Maryland, we got married and now we're trying to figure out how to live under the same roof."
-- Yow, on realignment: "If the money were the same, nobody would be switching (conferences). It's all about the money."
-- Yow, on the feeling of isolation that Maryland felt being on the outskirts of the ACC: "One time coach (Gary) Williams said, 'Up here in Alaska,' as a way to refer to the ACC. When (I) was at Maryland we used to call the ACC the All Carolina Conference. You always feel that way when your headquarters are in another state."
-- Manuel, on traditions lost by realignment: "There's a lot of concern among the fan base that the things that 'I grew up knowing and loving are changing in front of me and it's going to have a negative impact on me.'"
-- Yow, on traditions: "There will be some pain as anybody changes conferences. ... There's no appreciation for the history of that particular school. Maryland played Duke in men's basketball. Tens of thousands of alums are familiar with that tremendous rivalry, and it died."
IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum: NCAA's Emmert Concerned With Realignemnt
During the opening session of the '12 IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum yesterday, NCAA President Mark Emmert sat down for a wide-ranging interview on the current state of affairs of his admitted "weird" decision-making organization. The issue of realignment continues to be a hot topic with so much activity in the past few weeks. Emmert seemed concerned with the big picture. He said, "The unintended collateral damage is an erosion of the trust that used to exist between presidents of institutions and fellow ADs. When you run a conference, you have to have some level of trust. ... If you make a commitment to (stay), and you suspect that the person you just made a commitment to is now in the hallway trying to get out of a conference, that's a tough relationship. This has cost people's friendships and congenialities and I'm really concerned about that." Emmert was later joined on the panel by Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman and Wake Forest President & NCAA D-I BOD Chair Nathan Hatch. They voiced their opinions on recent additions to their respective conferences. Perlman said, "We brought in two great academic institutions and we spread the footprint of the Big Ten. Obviously we entered markets that are great for media revenue." Perlman had a high level of skepticism that the $50M exit fee for Maryland is enforceable. Hatch was sorry to see Maryland exit for financial reasons but is excited about the additions of Notre Dame and Louisville. Hatch: "It's too bad to disrupt these deep, historic ties, but I understand fully why (Maryland) did it."
CONTROVERSY HERE TO STAY: Perlman, who also serves on the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee, provided some interesting insight into the upcoming BCS playoff system. While a revenue-sharing model has been agreed upon, no site has been decided on yet and he knows that there will still be opponents. Perlman said, "Controversy is not going to go away. There's enormous pressure to extend to eight and 16 schools. I don't think it's particularly stable over the next 12 years." Hatch stated that he still has considerable opposition to expanding the college football season. Emmert believes the new model will change a lot of dynamics of access for all schools over time.
BREAKING OFF FROM NCAA: Emmert also addressed the issue of BCS schools forming their own governing body. He said, "If BCS schools or any other schools decide they'd be better served by having their own association, then they can and should go do that. That means that the NCAA has failed in some fashion, and as a university president, I wouldn't want to be a part of an organization that's failing. ... You'd have to start your own enforcement arm, replicate all the championships and recreate all the arms of the NCAA, but just do it in a way that serves your own purposes better." Hatch said that he is opposed to setting up a whole new system.
-- On progress at the NCAA: "Is progress happening as fast as I think is prudent? Yeah, I do. These things do require a good, thoughtful conversation. We are a very weird organization. We have 1,100 members. We have twice as many votes as Congress."
-- On the lessons learned from the Penn State scandal: "A better support structure around university presidents and ADs. Making sure there is no existential threat to a president to say no to a coach."
-- On transparency of the NCAA: "The whole issue of transparency in big organizations generally is a social phenomenon now because of changes that are happening in society. Are we as transparent as some people would like? No, we're not as transparent as I would like, but we're much more so than we used to be and we're working hard on that."
-- On failure of the student-athlete stipend: "I knew it was highly controversial, I didn't anticipate the reaction it provoked. ... We didn't do good diligence on this proposal."

Master Bedroom Makeover: Not Just a Housewife
The Master Bedroom Makeover Series has already been a BLAST to put together and we're just getting started! If you're tuning in for the first time let me tell you a little about this SUPER FUN series. The Divas have rounded up an AH-MAZING line up of DIY and DECOR bloggers who are EXPERTS in decorating and designing on a dime. These bloggers are sharing their gorgeous master bedrooms and how they turned them from hum-drum rooms to Oh-So-Hot Havens {WINK!}. It's healthy to have balance in your relationship & the more inviting your bedroom is, the more likely your spouse & you will be to connect in that room…
This next blogger has an incredibly creative spirit and a beautiful eye for color when it comes to DIY ideas. Please welcome one of our favorite DIY bloggers, Stacy from Not Just a Housewife!!
* * * * * * * * * * *
Hello! I am Stacy from Not Just A Housewife and I am excited to share with you one of my favorite places in the world….. my bedroom! It is our retreat and sanctuary after a long day. We love spending time there. It also landed me in the pages of Better Homes and Gardens!
When I design a room, the first thing I think of is how I want the room to feel. When it came to decorating our master bedroom, I knew I wanted it to be romantic, but not too girly. I wanted it to be calm, relaxing, and airy. But I also knew I shared the space with a man. So I needed to take that into consideration as well. I let my husband pick the color. Green is his favorite. I did help when it came the SHADE of green we picked. I also love that the furniture is dark with a more masculine shape. It helps balance out the space. I stenciled the ceiling with a damask pattern. I like the unexpectedness of it. It also lends to the romantic feel; the pattern is traditional but the use of it is modern and different.
I used an antique medicine cabinet as the bedside table. I mounted it to the wall instead of having it on the floor like a regular table would be. Vinyl letter on the wall may be soooo last year but I LOVE having the title of "our song" on the wall by our bed. It's sexy. And it makes me think back to when we were dating.
I transformed an old brass light into a chandelier with some beads, wire, and spray paint. It was $10 for the light and another $10 in supplies. The fact that the "crystals" got sprayed too makes it a little less traditional. I love that!
I love my kids. All four of them. And my whole house is plastered with their photos and their artwork. But in the bedroom, it is all about US. Me and him. So the photo wall has just pictures of the two of us at different times in our 13-year marriage.
I try to have fresh flowers in the room as often as I can. I have a secret garden with all white flowers planted. I pick from there in the spring and summer. I occasionally buy some at the grocery store in the winter too. It is a small thing but keeps it fresh and romantic.
Thank you for letting me share my space with you! Come by my blog and say hi anytime 🙂

Essential textbook for all undergraduate students of neurobiology, physiology, cell biology and preclinical medicine.
Reviewer:George Maeda, PhD(Loma Linda University)
Description:This is one of the few books that provide a highly physiological, experimental perspective on the excitation of nerve and muscle. It is abundantly illustrated with figures from the primary literature highlighting the underpinnings of excitable membrane electrophysiology, intercellular communication, and muscle function. The few updates to this edition include voltage-gated channel molecular structure, skeletal muscle dihydropyridine and ryanodine receptors and smooth muscle activation. The previous edition was published in 1991.
Purpose:The stated objective is to give students a sound foundation in the fundamentals of nerve and muscle function from an experimental viewpoint. The authors have done this by following the pathway of discovery as revealed in the literature of the day, especially in the area of membrane electrophysiology.
Audience:The stated audience for this "introductory account" is university students in physiology, cell biology, and preclinical medicine. While a noble effort is made by these veteran researchers to evoke excitement by looking over the shoulders of giants, students without an adequate knowledge of general physics will probably have to stand on tiptoes to appreciate the view.
Features:The major portion of this book deals with membrane electrophysiology, especially the voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels, from a classical and molecular perspective. The authors weave their way from the resting membrane clear through to synaptic communication including transmitters and receptors. The molecular basis and mechanical events of skeletal muscle contraction are discussed followed by a comparison of the excitation-contraction process in skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Some color figures would have been nice, but the low cost of the book helps one overlook this.
Assessment:When comparing this with other books, it is important to note that this is a short, concise, introductory, low cost text specifically on nerve and muscle, not a comprehensive text on neuroscience or neurobiology. The topics are well chosen, discussed, and supported by experimental evidence. Other comparable small books include Katz's Nerve, Muscle and Synapse (McGraw-Hill, 1966) and Junge's Nerve and Muscle Excitation (Sinauer Associates, 1976). A comprehensive, highly focused text on ion channels is Hille's Ionic Channels of Excitable Membranes, 2nd edition (Sinauer Associates, 1992).

Conservation tillage methods are becoming more widely used in corn (Zea mays L.) production because of energy costs and soil losses due to wind and water erosion. Changes in tillage methods, however, create different environments for the germination, development, and maturation of the corn plant. The objective of our study was to determine if single-cross corn hybrids responded differently to tillage methods. A 5-yr continuous corn study was conducted that included 14 single-cross hybrids and four tillage methods (fall-plow, striptill, spring-disk, and no-till). The soil was a mesic Typic Hapludoll. There was no significant interaction of hybrids by tillage methods, but significant differences were detected among tillage methods for yield, stand, and grain moisture. Hybrids planted in fall-plow or spring-disk conditions had greater yields, better stands, and lower grain moisture than when planted in strip-till and no-till conditions. Hybrids performed similarly for the fall-plow and spring-disk treatments, but spring-disk had significantly greater plant residue cover (54.5 vs. 7.8%). Our results suggested that it was not necessary to test hybrids for different tillage methods.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

League of Legends Fizz Champion Impressions
There won't be any Lilo and Stitch jokes in this post. None. I swear.
So Fizz was released today as the newest champion to join the League of Legends. Fizz is an assassin / fighter / melee that scales off of AP (ability power). Featuring a skillset that makes him nimble, he can dart into the action and then make himself untargetable or hop over a wall. His passive, Nimble fighter, makes it so he ignores unit collision and takes less physical damage from basic attacks. This will add a little defense to some auto attack characters, since Fizz needs to get in close to fight.
His Q is Urchin Strike, which has him target his enemy, striking them as he runs through them, dealing magic damage and applying on-hit effects. Fizz will move a set distance with this ability, usually placing you behind the enemy, so some caution should be used. However, it is a great move for chasing or juking opponents.
His W is Seastone Trident. The passive on this adds a bleed effect to your auto attacks, starting at 6 percent missing health over 3 seconds. If you activate this ability, your auto attacks will apply grievous wounds, which is a debuff that lowers the effect of healing on your opponent. Consider it a free ignite on your opponent.
E is a two-part skill, Playful / Trickster. this move has Fizz hop into the air, making him untargetable to the enemy, minions, and towers. If you reactivate the ability, Fizz will dash forward again, slamming into the ground and damaging all enemies around him. This ability can be used to hop over walls to get away from enemies, and it is excellent for farming / clearing minion waves.
Fizz's ultimate is Chum the Waters. This is the most entertaining ultimate in the game, and until I was able to use it, I was a firm believer that this was a joke and Riot was trolling us. It is a skill shot that stops on the ground or latches onto an enemy champion if it hits. It slows the target, and after a brief delay, a shark comes up out of the ground and eats the fish. In doing so, it knocks up, damages, and slows the enemy champions.
Due to the mastery changes, I personally haven't decided on an appropriate build, but I try to choose any offensive masteries that include ability power and cooldown reduction. He can be fragile early game, and I found the added mobility of boots with 3 health pots to be better starting items than a Doran's Ring. Like Phreak said in the Champion Spotlight, building him a little beefy with a Rod of Ages is a good idea, but from there I finished my sorcerer's boots and went to a Lichbane. His skillsket works well with the Sheen Proc and added some nice burst damage--and the movement speed increase helps a lot. Obviously, a Deathcap is a must and would be a fine choice getting it before or after a Lichbane.
Play around with some builds and let us know which you found to have the most success with.

MURRIETA ---- A man who was injured and later died after crashing his motorcycle in Temecula on Tuesday was identified Wednesday as 53-year-old Ronald Phillips of Murrieta.
Authorities said Phillips' motorcycle smashed into a car that had stopped for a funeral procession on Jefferson Avenue near Sanborn Street at 12:34 p.m. Tuesday.
The light was green at the intersection, but a funeral escort had stopped northbound traffic to allow the procession to pass, Temecula police Sgt. Kevin McDonald said Tuesday. Phillips hit the back of a Mitsubishi Eclipse that had stopped for the cross-traffic, McDonald said.
Phillips was taken to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar and then flown to Loma Linda Medical Center in critical condition, according to the San Bernardino County coroner's officials.
He died from his injuries at 5:35 p.m. Tuesday, coroner's officials said.

via VG247.Square Enix has released a playthrough showcasing Hitman: Absolutions new multiplayer mode. The 18-minute Contracts video includes commentary from game director Tore Blystad and Travis Barbour, who are part of the community team at IO Interactive.
Contracts is an online mode that allows players to create and share challenges with their friends. Although the developers were tempted to go with traditional multiplayer, they decided to implement something that fits into the Hitman series more readily.
Players will choose a level, target, weapons and then create their own rules for each objective. Scores are based on time, style and the amount of witnesses.
Check out the gameplay video below:
Hitman: Absolution will be with us on November 20 for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Controls and camera look smooth, which makes things much better.
Wish they had a more detailed animation when he's disguising with people's clothes but whatever.
09-30-2012 #3
This is kind of daunting to me. I bet this will get really competitive with people trying to max out points they get. I feel like I would have to study the levels and play through several times to make the hit absolutely perfect....I love it!
Focus. Control. Conviction. Resolve. A true ace lacks none of these attributes. Nothing can deter you from the task at hand except your own fears. This is your sky.
09-30-2012 #4
Yea I see the intensity there and they really did step up with their map design and AI as well but that hit was way too easy...was not remotely realistic. Especially after he kills the guy...now that would work if he was in a crowd full of people but he just waltz out of there and no one found him suspicious after a guy was just shot lol.
09-30-2012 #5
I am so excited for this game. I havent played a hitman game in a long time, but this is day 1 for me.
09-30-2012 #6
Looks awesome. Excited as hell for this.
And lmao, is that a grow op he's sneaking through?

DEFINITION of 'Coinsurer'
One of the parties that provides additional insurance to the same person or policy. A Coinsurer provides partial coverage along with other coinsurers. Coinsurers are generally used when the amount being covered is too large for a single insurer to cover by itself. For example, after a fire, the primary insurance company will cover the majority of the schedule, while the coinsurer will be responsible for the rest.
BREAKING DOWN 'Coinsurer'
In some instances, state or federal law may dictate that some risks must be jointly insured by several coinsurers in order to adequately diversify the risk of a possible large claim. Coinsurers will share in any claim or loss for the proportionate amount of risk that they take on.

BBC lifts lid on expenses, but stars' pay stays secret
BBC bosses spent £363,000 claimed from expense accounts over the past five years, with money from licence-fee payers being used for a £1,277 private jet trip for its director-general and a £99.99 bottle of vintage champagne given to Bruce Forsyth on his 80th birthday.
Mark Thompson, the director general, and the BBC's other top ten executives spent more than £4,278 on flowers and champagne to reward highly paid stars; £54,971 on hotels in places ranging from Beverly Hills to Cannes; and £2,412 on taxis, which they claimed back from the public broadcaster.
The BBC also revealed that 47 of its employees were paid more than £200,000, with little-known executives such as Sharon Baylay, the director of marketing, paid between £310,000 and £340,000, compared with the…

Hello world. (what a cliche (: )
I would like your opinion about a website I am thinking of developing and if this is something that can be done (by me) or not. Here is my case.
A friend asked me some months ago to build an application for him so he can check his favorite soccer leagues the way HE wants it. Soccer clubs, Statistics etc. We were talking about 5-10 soccer leagues, mainly the most popular of Europe. I know there are already LOTS of sites doing exactly that thing, but since I wanted to get more familiar with web development I thought what the heck, I should try it and maybe even build a whole website so he can check online and more people use it. So I started reading PHP books (I was familiar with the basics of PHP but not OOP or anything complex) and figuring out how the architecture of the whole project should be. I also should say if not already clear that I have never tried to build a website although I have a general idea of how they work and I could probably set up a joomla site easily.
Thing is I could never imagine the amount of work and knowledge the project would need. I will try to give you a general idea of the application so you can give me an opinion, if you care doing so.First of all there are soccer matches playing almost everyday. I should get the data (score, date, competition etc.) of these matches (at first manually and then maybe write a parsing script or something, especially if the leagues get more and more), validate my input, put it in XML files and/or database and then, after some processing, display the info and the stats to the website.There are a million questions arising from this simple process that if asked I would flood the boards here. Some of them are: Which data should I put in a database and which in XML files? Should I use the XML DOMObject or simpleXML? How would that affect the performance? Should I load all the info for a League Table from the database, from an XML file that makes some calculations client-side (yes I need also to learn JavaScript and use AJAX), from an XML ready from the server, or from 20 different files, one for each Team in the League? Then i am going to have some difficulties in the architecture of my database since I have never created one, which one should be the primary key? should I use indexes and Foreign keys? Then I have no idea if I should use a website template to facilitate all these data or maybe use a CMS, or even build my own from scratch, which means I have to learn good CSS and HTML. Which would serve me better? And talking about serving, don't let me get started about server questions.
Of course I don't want you people to answer all these here but i am trying to give you a general idea of how I see things, how a new dilemma could arise from every decision and how limited/basic my knowledge is. I could start writing code but EVERYTHING needs planning ahead. I have studied a bit of all these technologies in the past (except JS) and the learning curve is not going to be THAT big, as if I was a total newbie. But I really want some opinions/advice/guidance, can this be made in a reasonable amount of time (let's say a year??), or even at all be only one person or am I just hallucinating?
Thanks for your patience and any advice
edit: well i just realized that this thread should probably be posted in the General Web Development forum...
Hi vziou. Welcome to the forums.

strong a boulder is, it's dead. While no matter how weak an egg is, its
alive. As time passes, a boulder will break and become sand, but someday
a chick will hatch from an egg and step on that sand."

A PEE STAIN IN THE BED is not the puddle-shaped mark of genius, though director Brett Ingram would like to think so. In Rocaterrania, he repeatedly confuses weirdness with brilliance, painting 76-year-old Renaldo Kuhler as a "visionary artist"—when he's really just a talented but isolated illustrator who happened to wet the bed through his teenage years. By day, Kuhler draws anatomical sketches for the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, but he's also created Rocaterrania, a safety blanket of a nation he invented to escape familial estrangement and childhood teasing.
Kuhler's imaginary land is impressively detailed, even though it's less coherent than the otherworlds we often see in comics and movies; in Rocaterrania, we get a lot of slow pans through decades of his sketchbooks that offer a rambling Rocaterranian history lesson, intertwined with his life story in pity-vision. (Instead of a college girlfriend, he carried a picture of a Rocaterranian woman... until she "left him" to go back to Rocaterrania.) Sure, Kuhler's immigrant parents never hugged him, but if you want to tell a sublimation story in the post-Precious age, you're going to have to do better, or worse, than that.

Life is a blur these days, and today is no exception. It seems as though training has taken over my life (and my blog). I still knit, but not much. I mostly run, think about running, recover from running and get ready to run.
Like now.
As soon as I finish a seven-miler, I'm outta here! Won't be back until Monday afternoon, so probably won't post again until Tuesday. My husband and the dogs are holding down the fort while I'm gone – I dread the state of my floors upon my return.

Neighbours: Will Lauren and Brad reunite after finding long-lost daughter?
TROUBLED mum Lauren Turner and former flame Brad Willis look set to be reunited with their long-lost daughter following the revelation she is still alive.
Lauren, below, was distraught when her mum Kathy told her the truth about the daughter she believed had died shortly after her birth more than 20 years ago.
And, while both Lauren and Brad welcome their daughter Lisa with open arms after tracking her down, the meeting does not go as well as they had hoped.
And Brad's wife Terese can't help but be suspicious of the pretty blonde who turns up on their doorstep.
She relays her fears to her husband but, with everything that's going on, she comes out of it looking bad.
A Neighbours insider said: "Lauren's youngest son Bailey tries to track down his long-lost sister over the internet and finds a girl called Lisa Tucker.
"But Terese can't help but worry her husband is being duped."
The story will unfold on Channel 5 this month.

Keith Olbermann is either the modern version of the lonely traveler given his career path of being affiliated with every network from CNN, ESPN(ABC), FOX and now of course MSNBC or simply has a knack for rubbing folks he works with the wrong way. I suspect given his platitudes its the latter.
It is apparent to me that Countdown is faced with an anchor who shaped a program by being the antagonist of George Bush and the Republican Administration in general and now that those folks have left town, Olbermann is faced with virtually nothing but living in the past.
Question for Mr. Olbermann. Why is it exactly if the premise was to remind Americans of the sacrifices being made on the ground in Iraq by American troops have you stopped your counter of lives lost in Iraq or even continued with the number of days since victory was declared by President Bush? Why if it was not simply a political ploy have you stopped?
Why is it you saw fit not to even bother conering the Iraqi elections? Something if we recall Mr. Olbermann advocated would never happen peacefully during the period of the Surge in Iraq.
Instead, Mr. Olbermann has moved on to what kind of topics? Oh weel, Sarah Palin's daughter and her baby. It kinda makes you think that Olbermann has a rear view mirror attached to his forehead and is constantly seeing things not from the present view but from a dynamic that was shifted away from with Obama's election.
Its as if Olbermann is man without a country. He really has no one other than Bill O'Reilly or maybe Rush Limbaugh to cast his antagonist sword upon. He certainly would not do so against such deserving folks as Charlie Rangel, Barney Franks, Chris Dodd, or any of the cabinet members that have embarrassed the President. Well, except the former Commerce selection who removed himself from consideration and was fodder for Olbermann but he never said a peep about Bill Richardson the first Commerce selection.
First the content dries up and then the ratings follow.
Focusing your show on Sarah Palin and other GOP likelies for 2012 is rather ridiculous given all that we are experiencing today within the nation, but of course when you have no solutions other than shutting down GITMO as the poster policy for fighting the War on Terrorism and simply want at every turn to rehash torture the medium becomes rather predictable and boring.
Seriously, I wonder if Countdown will last or simply be replaced by another format in the coming year. Maddow has to be kicking Olbermann's hind parts in the ratings. Olbermann is living in the past but then I wonder what is left for the guy who seems to have burned bridges throughout his career.

Area credit union planning fundraiser for Red Cross
WORTHINGTON -- This time of the year is the season for all kinds of sales and from garage sales to Crazy Days, Worthington residents seem to never run out of bargains.
Fulda Area Credit Union is planning a rummage sale, bake sale and silent auction Aug 6 to benefit the Southwest Minnesota Chapter of the American Red Cross, which serves Rock, Nobles, Jackson, Martin and Murray counties.
"Since everybody here seems to like going to auctions or rummage sales, we decided to to just that," said Diane Gerdes, branch manager for the Worthington office.
Through Joyce Jacobs, executive director of the Southwest Minnesota chapter, Gerdes learned about the Red Cross and its desperate need for funds -- especially during recent natural disasters that struck the nation.
"We can help and we can do something to give back to the community," Gerdes said.
When people think of Red Cross, Jacobs said, they usually think of the organization in terms of what they see on TV. In reality, the chapter works regularly with people displaced from their homes, especially due to house fires, which are common, she explained.
Proceeds from the fundraiser are designated to stay local.
The credit union is accepting donations of all items ranging from clothes to household appliances in good or working condition. Community members are also welcome to donate baked goods. Donations can be dropped off at the credit union's Fulda, Worthington and Windom locations.
"We don't know when the next disaster is going to strike, but when it does, who do people call -- the Red Cross," Gerdes said.
Windom and Fulda branches are currently accepting donations until Friday, while the Worthintgon branch will be ready for donations from Aug. 1 to 5. Donations should be dropped off during regular business hours.
Jacobs said having fundraisers organized by an outside organization is a "blessing" because of the time and effort spent.
"We really want to thank Fulda Area Credit Union for supporting the Red Cross and those who had any hand in making it successful," she said.
Rain or shine, the event will be from 7 a.m to 5 p.m. at the Worthington office, 1127 Ryan's Road. Lunch will be available for purchase from Nobles County Corn and Soybean Growers.
For a list of silent auction items, visit www.fuldaareacreditunion.com or stop in at 1127 Ryan's Road, Worthington, to view items on display.
The following individuals and organizations have made donations to the event: The Minnesota Vikings, Adam Vinatieri, Nobles County Speedway, Royal River Casino, Grand Falls Resort, Sioux Falls Fighting Pheasants, Sioux Falls Storm, Heal With Hypnosis LLC, Diane Gerdes, Simply Said Independent Consultant Brenda Oberloh, Laurie Waldner, Ardella Schroeder, Casey Hector, Pizza Ranch, Arby's, McDonald's, Carolina Melgoza, Linda Vandenberg, Wild Water West, Oxford Bowl, Minnesota Renaissance Festival, Hy-Vee, Subway, Jackpot Junction, Ground Round, Brian Erwin Construction, Carly Pohlman, Linda Jacobson, Quality Auto Body, Rickers Studio, Perkins, Employees of JBS, Schaap Sanitation, Bob and Steve's Shell, Master Timothy Bicknase of Lee's Tae Kwon Do, Java Nau, Bobbi Habben, Larry Duncan of Larry's Used Cars Inc., Fulda Free Press, Daily Globe and employees of Fulda Area Credit Union.

Okay guys, here's my problem. I am looking to purchase a modchip, but I'm unsure which to get. I am unexperienced when it comes to soldering and the such, so I would prefer an easier to install chip. Secondly, my wii is from launch day, so that shouldnt be a problem. Lastly, the main things i'd like to be able to do with it is to play burned games and update through dvd updates and possibly play some homebrew. Seems like a lot, but thanks for any advice you can give!

Epsom salt has many uses. It is used as an all-over body exfoliant to remove dead skin cells, promotes circulation ,and is used for a number of ailments such as relieving itching, muscle strains and back pain.
It can heal cuts, reduce soreness and relieves cough and congestion.
Epsom salts in the bath provide stress relief. The magnesium in Epsom salts helps to produce adequate amounts of serotonin, the mood elevating chemical in our brain, that creates a feeling of calm relaxation. Magnesium is the second most abundant element in human cells and the fourth most important positively charged ion in the body. Magnesium helps the body regulate enzymes and plays a part in organizing many bodily functions such as muscle control, electrical impulses, energy production and the elimination of harmful toxins.
Following are a few simple,yet effective, natural skin care recipes using Epsom salts.
Do a facial
Mix a few teaspoons of Epsom salts into your favorite deep cleansing cream. Massage mixture into your skin and rinse off with cool water. Pat dry.
Do Exfoliate
After your shower, massage handfuls of Epsom salt over your wet skin and exfoliate the body and rinse off.
You can also make a mixture of 1 cup Epsom salt and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix together and put in a container with a lid. After shower, massage into wet skin, concentrating the scrub on rough areas such as elbows, hands, or any itchy dry skin areas. Rinse off.
Do a foot soak
Soften and relax your feet by soaking them in a plastic basin or bathtub with Epsom salt for 10-15 minutes. Feel how smooth your feet will be, and how relaxed you will feel.
Do a detox bath
1 cup Epsom salt
Handful of sea salt
2 tablespoons bath oil
Mix all ingredients together and pour into the tub while the tub is filling.
Dislodge Blackheads
1 teaspoon Epsom salt
3 drops iodine
½ cup boiling water
Addthe epsom salt and iodine to the boiling water. Stir. Appy mixture to the blackheads using a cotton ball.
Epsom salt and Oatmeal bath
2 cups Epsom salts
1 cup sea salt
1-1/2 cup finely pulverized oatmeal
½ oz. lavender essential oil
Measure you your Epsom salts and sea salt into large bowl. Grind the oatmeal finely using a food processor or spice grinder. Add to the Epsom salt /sea salt mixture and blend well. Add the essential oil. Mix completely and put in an air-tight container or jar with a lid. Add the oatmeal salts to your briskly running bath water .

Zone of proximal development
This article explores the history and theory of the concept of the zone of proximal development and discusses its application in the classroom.
The zone of proximal development is the gap between what a learner has already mastered (the actual level of development) and what he or she can achieve when provided with educational support (potential development).
History of the concept
Originally developed by social cognitive theorist and psychologist Lev Vygotsky, the concept of the zone of proximal development opposes the use of standardized tests as a means to measure student intelligence.1 Vygotsky suggests that instead of assessing what a student knows to determine intelligence, it is more helpful to compare their ability to independently solve problems with their ability to solve problems with the assistance of someone who has mastered the concepts being learned. Vygotsky began this research because he wanted to understand how children's functions (like attention, memory, and perception) develop and are individual to the learner.2 Vygotsky contends that children "develop deliberate control over everyday concepts through contact with scientific concepts." Within the Vygotskian concept of zone of proximal development, social interaction is the basis for cognitive growth. Accordingly, the communication that transpires in a social setting with more knowledgeable or proficient people (parents, teachers, peers, others) assists children in building an understanding of the concept.3
American psychologist Jerome Bruner (1982) describes the zone of proximal development as "the child's ability to recognize the value of hinges and props even before he is conscious of their full significance."4
Zone of proximal development in the classroom
In a classroom setting, the teacher is responsible for structuring interactions and developing instruction in small steps based on tasks the learner is already capable of performing independently — an instructional strategy known as scaffolding. The instructor is also charged with providing support until the learner can move through all tasks independently.
In order for teachers to guide learners through the tasks associated with learning a concept, they must "understand how cognitive tasks fit into the child's cultural activities."5 These tasks are called "scaffolds," which are tasks or levels on which the teacher builds to develop learners' zones of proximal development. According to John Zeuli, "Instruction should emphasize connections to what the learner already knows in other familiar, everyday contexts."6
Vygotsky (1962) suggests that these connections do not have to take place immediately, but that "in the course of further schoolwork and reading," learners can make the association between concepts and experience.7 Vygotsky describes the teacher's role as assisting students in the recognition of decontextualized, systematic concepts. Vygotsky contends, "instruction cannot be identified as development, but properly organized instruction will result in the child's intellectual development, will bring into being an entire series of such developmental processes, which were not at all possible without instruction."8 Accordingly, the teaching methodology that aligns with the zone of proximal development "integrates several approaches to form a comprehensive agenda for research of the genesis, development, function, and structure of the human psyche."9
Within the classroom, the person who is more knowledgeable is not always the teacher; students can also be placed in collaborative groups with others who have demonstrated mastery of tasks and concepts.
Locating the zone of proximal development
Teachers, parents, and mentors attuned to a learner can recognize where he or she is within the zone of proximal development by asking questions and recognizing the learner's individual learning style.10 Thus, the zone of proximal development enables educators and parents to define the learner's immediate needs and the shifting developmental status, which allows for what has already been achieved developmentally, and for what the learner will be able to master in the future.11

Very Cherre Brings Health Properties of Tart Cherry Juice to the Mainstream
SPARTA, MI (June 13, 2011) /PRNewswire/ — Tart cherries have long been celebrated by health and nutrition experts for their purported curative health and wellness properties. In fact, tart cherries contain nearly twice the antioxidant properties of pomegranates or Concord grapes. Old Orchard Brands brings the power of tart cherry to everyday living with a new line of premium juice made from pure tart cherry juice, called Very Cherre™. The 100% juice comes in multi-serve 64-ounce bottles and is available at select grocery and supermarket stores this month with national distribution expected mid-summer. Suggested retail price is $4.99 per bottle.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110613/DE18700 )
The Very Cherre product line is made up of four juices—pure 100% Tart Cherry and three tart cherry blends, including Tart Cherry/Blueberry, Tart Cherry/Cranberry and Tart Cherry/Pomegranate. All Very Cherre juices are made from 100% juice and contain no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. The products are gluten free and feature no added sugars.
The all-natural profile of the Very Cherre line should make it appealing to purists who drink tart cherry juice for health reasons as well as everyday consumers seeking "better-for-you" food choices.
"Tart cherry juice has traditionally been found at holistic food stores and seasonal fruit markets," said Mark Saur, president and founder of Old Orchard Brands. "Even if consumers found it, they'd be forced to mix expensive concentrates at home with varied results. We're celebrating the original 'superfruit' by introducing a pure tart cherry juice that is affordable, convenient and widely accessible to consumers. It also happens to have an incredible taste that any juice fan will love."
The standard measurement for antioxidant power is called the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC value). A single 8-ounce serving of Very Cherre/Tart Cherry contains between 3,000 – 5,000 ORAC units — nearly twice the amount found in the leading pomegranate juice .
About Old Orchard Brands
Sparta, Mich.-based Old Orchard Brands is one of the fastest-growing fruit juice brands in the United States. Established in 1985, the company is currently the second-largest producer of fruit juice concentrates and fourth-largest manufacturer of bottled juice* in the United States. Old Orchard Brands currently produces more than 50 million 64-ounce bottles of fruit juice and 45 million 12-ounce canisters of frozen juice concentrates each year.

The annual Orchids & Onions contest is open to voting through Oct. 27 for the "People's Choice" awards, with results to be announced along with the other O&O winners (and losers) Nov. 4.
Sponsored by the San Diego Architectural Foundation, the program, dating back to 1975, asks the public to nominate the best and worst of the built environment -- architecture, landscapes, planning, graphics, public art.
Winners get bouquets of orchids, losers get bunches of onions.
The Orchid winners traipse up to the stage at the tongue-in-cheek event and thank their partners, mothers and the Lord. The Onion winners usually boycott, unless they're from the University of California San Diego, city of San Diego and San Diego Unified School District, which nearly every year get kudos and kicks in the butt.
This year, 20 awards are expected to be handed out -- 16 Orchids and Onions, a Grand Orchid and Grand Onion and one of each in the People's Choice category.
That's where you come in: Go to the foundation's contest website, orchidsandonions.org, and vote for one of the nine nominees in each group.
Then come back to the uniontrib.com the night of the big bash, Nov. 4, and see if you were right.
Or buy a ticket and see for yourself.
