This unique book for the developing orchestra will immediately improve the group's intonation, rhythmic accuracy, and balance. Five major keys are comprehensively explored with scales, arpeggios, broken thirds, scales in rhythms and rhythm patterns. Each tonal study area culminates in two ensemble numbers suitable for performance. Even a short time spent with this indispensible teaching aid will produce good results.

Justin Bieber really didn't think this one through
At his 2nd night in Madison Square Garden November 29th, a fan threw her iphone onstage. Justin picked it up and snapped a photo of himself before handing it back...only to turn around and see that other fans were throwing their phones onstage as fast as they could.

Are we allowed to bring people outside of CC members / registered BrickCon attendees? I think my parents are going to be in town, and while I doubt they want to come (my wife either, for that matter) I just am wondering what the options are if they happen to be downtown that night.
In any case, I'm pretty sure you can count me in for +1 at the least.

This Explains a lot! Thanks for the info, I was having issues with connecting to FT. How Do I check my TCP limit?
Depends on your browser, and any plugins you're using with it.
Honestly, I'm a little worried that FT is already outgrowing its current home, because we don't really have anywhere else to go except to a different, higher-grade co-located server, and I don't have thousands of dollars to invest in another one. But, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. In the meantime, if anyone would like to donate to the "Upgraded Server for FT" fund, contact me privately.
This version of the forums seems to have slowed things down for me, drastically. >.<.I also tried accessing the site via my sisters PC (as opposed to this Mac) and it's equally slow - could just be our ISP, but I'm putting it out there anyway; SOMETHING HAS BROKEND THE INTERMERNETS BETWEEN US AND YOU.D'= fix it, cyberfairy!

Those on the Autism spectrum and the family and individuals that provide them care face a number of challenges, from communication and even emotional support.
Fortunately, there are a number of apps on the market that are designed for various needs. Here are six apps for autistic children and their families.
Ideal for children, this text-to-speech app utilizes photos to help those who are Autistic and non-verbal to communicate with others.
Proloquo2Go - Tell us, we want to know
Nick is ten years old and was diagnosed with autism. His progress in speech has been extremely slow. Picture symbols, picture exchange communication techniques and photos were tried but did not work out for him, as Nick was not really interested. When Nick started using an iPad, he immediately understood how it worked and really wanted to use it.
Another text-to-speech app, Proloquo4Text allows users to type in the words they are trying to communicate and is available in 15 languages
Acapela voices in Proloquo4text, a product by AssistiveWare
Proloquo4Text is a text‑based communication app for iPad and iPhone that gives a voice to people who cannot speak. Features voices in 15 languages, word and sentence prediction, social media sharing, and more. Brought to You by AssistiveWare, voices from #AcapelaGroup
Autism Village
Think of this like the Yelp for families with autistic members, Autism Village helps users find Autism-friendly places in their neighborhood rated by other families with autistic members, from restaurants to parks and even doctors and dentists.
Autism Village On Kickstarter
Introduction to Autism Village's development of an app for the autism community to find and rate AutismFriendly business and services.
Like Autism Village, MyAutismTeam is a social network where parents and other loved ones who care for someone who is autistic can share autism-friendly places and also receive support from others who know of the challenges of caring for someone on the autism spectrum.
MyAutismTeam is the social network for parents of children with autism. Here you can share daily experiences & questions, and find recommendations of local autism specialists (from doctors and OTs, to barbers and dentists). Join now. http://www.myautismteam.com
Miracle Modus
Occasionally, those on the Autism spectrum become frustrated and overwhelmed with various situations, and apps like Miracle Modus, which produces an ary of colorful imagery and sounds bring a someone on the spectrum down from a tantrum or a meltdown.
Miracle Modus, video #2
Okay, got some screen-cap software and ran on the simulator. This gives you a much better idea of what the colors really look like. Aspect ratio's slightly off; the display it's running on is 1024x768, but my captured video is 1028x771. So the pixels will be something like .001% squarer on real hardware.
Social Skill Builder
Recognizing emotions can be a challenge for autistic children, but Social Skill Builder shows videos of different situations that help those on the spectrum to correlate certain emotions for certain situations.
Social Skill Builder App Promo
This video is a sample of Social Skill Builder's newest app target social and life skills using research validated video modeling. Visit www.socialskillbuilder.com for more information

Mario Batali's Lakeside Pizza Oven
From last week's New York Times Travel section—Mario Batali and family kickin' it Michigan style. Naturally, the pizza-oven bits caught my eye. (That's Batali's imported wood-burner at right.)
Watching Mario Batali shovel a pizza topped with chopped tomatoes, wet chunks of fresh mozzarella and grilled artichokes into his crackling outdoor pizza oven, it is easy to imagine you are in a hill town outside Bologna, perhaps even in Borgo Capanne, where Mr. Batali apprenticed for three years at a trattoria. The surrounding spruce trees and the wind off the lake only add to the air of authenticity, as does the wood smoke that plumes out from the top of the brick oven and the smell of baking bread.
But, dude, get this: He's in Michigan. I know, right?
Mr. Batali's outdoor pizza oven was installed their second summer in the house (it was shipped from Italy) and soon after, an outdoor kitchen was added, complete with a Big Green Egg, a large oval ceramic smoker in which Mr. Batali makes, among other dishes, paella. "Since I can't cook it over a fire of vine clippings like they do in Spain, I bought this," he said.
Yet the pizza oven is the main food focus of Mr. Batali's Michigan life. "I will make 30 pizzas in one night if we have friends over," he said, stretching and throwing dough into a second pizza with green olives and three peppers — one Peppadew and two guindillas. Though the children prefer plain pizzas, they once made one with barbecued sparerib meat, and Michael Moore, who was in town recently for the Traverse City Film Festival, came over for a sausage pizza.
On a side note, if you've been considering aping Mario and getting an outdoor wood-burning pizza oven but can't swing having it imported from Italy—or if you can't fathom building one yourself—I just read about a portable wood-burning oven that's small and sits on a roll-about iron stand. The Beehive oven, imported from Portugal by a company out of California, runs $1,495, is 33 inches in diameter (exterior) and 25 inches tall. I checked into shipping, and it will vary depending on where you live, but the cheapest option for shipping to my ZIP code in Brooklyn was $636. I'm considering a purchase ...

Dana and Ray Brandon
Ray's Take No one ever likes it when I use the "B" word, but there's a reason I do it.
A budget helps you achieve your goals in life, whether they're for a luxury vacation, the kids' education, or retirement. Without one, you don't really know where you are financially, much less where you are headed. You are out of control. There are a lot of smart, hard-working people scheming this very instant on how to separate you from your money. The best ones even make you think it was your idea!
However, going through the budgeting process is not a one-time thing. Every time something changes in your life or financial situation, it's time to re-evaluate that budget.
Say you get a raise, even a modest one. That might be the time to set aside more money for paying off bills or maybe increase the amount you're saving toward a new car. The goals are yours to determine, but it's up to you to determine them. If you don't make a conscious effort to make that decision, it gets made for you. Capitalism abhors a vacuum.
Your budget should be revisited when your expenses change: paying off a car note; altering your mortgage payments; when your family increases or decreases in size. Anytime your income rises or falls, it's time to revise the budget again. This is true even if that increase is from a one-time windfall or inheritance. Deciding how to save or spend that money has a huge impact on your financial picture.
Finally, make sure your budget is keeping pace with your changing goals. If your goal is to pay off debt, then your goals – and your budget – need revising once that happens.
If you don't have a budget, make one. If you do, take a look at it and be sure it reflects the goals you want to achieve.
Dana's Take Be sure to include your spouse in the budget making and revising process. That's a critical step to making sure your goals are in alignment. If the word "budget" makes your spouse run and hide, substitute "savings goals."
What if one of you hopes to become a full-time homemaker while the other one is planning on two incomes for life? That would have a major impact on your plan, not to mention on your future relationship.
If one of you is expecting to get a new vehicle soon, both of you need to be planning for it. If one partner has already priced out the cost of a media room, both partners need to see how that works into the plan.
Creating a savings plan is all about short-term and long-term goals and expectations. Since you want the best for each other, do it together.

Job seekers in Texas are fairing better than those in many other states, and five cities in the Lone Star State have landed in the top 25 cities with great job markets.
The list was determined by online job resource ZipRecruiter, which analyzed job posting volume, unemployment rates, and the rate of job creation in each city.
San Antonio cracked the top 25, but there are still plenty of cities with a better outlook. Check out the slideshow above to find out which locales have more opportunities than the Alamo City. You can also search for job openings in San Antonio here.

VOIP in the Enterprise: Can CIOs Take It to the Bank?By Darrell Dunn | Posted 2007-08-27 Print
Companies are increasingly turning to IP-based systems to replace traditional circuit-switched networks. But how ready are the companies--and the technology--for the next wave of business communications?
Technology can weave into the enterprise tapestry by way of choice or by necessity, as businesses face the prospect of either joining the next generation or clinging to outdated tools. CIOs and other I.T. decision-makers are faced with that quandary now as they attempt to create a long-term communications strategy built around Internet Protocol (IP)-based telephony.
IP telephony is the routing of voice over the Internet or an IP-based network. IP-based communications networks are being used to replace or augment traditional time-division multiplexing (TDM)-based circuit-switched networks.
The move to IP-based networks is already well underway. A third of all telephony extension line shipments this year are expected to be IP-based, while two-thirds of the shipments will be based on TDM technology, according to research firm Gartner. By 2011, that ratio will reverse, with IP-based lines accounting for two-thirds of all shipments.
Most large enterprises have already begun limited use of voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) and other IP-based telephony tools, Gartner says. As the growth curve of IP-based installations indicates, the future for telephony is IP. Even the most conservative CIO understands that future telecom investment will be IP-based, while the workhorse TDM-based networks of the past will be gradually weeded out over the next decade. Unified communications has been a topic of roundtable discussions, but has been found mostly in back-room R&D efforts within enterprises and at technology vendors for much of the past decade. Growth in IP-based systems during the past few years, however, is serving as the launching pad for the uniting of existing communications and data networks, including desktop telephone systems, voice mail, Internet, presence and contact information, and the integration of business applications.
Nonetheless, business leaders are leery of IP telephony. A number of vendors have struggled financially, including 3Com, Nortel, SunRocket and Vonage. Within enterprise deployments, IP telephony remains relatively nascent with a significant amount of ongoing experimentation to determine the best practices for deploying a unified communications strategy. This often requires the technological assets of multiple vendors, and has led to partnerships such as Nortel-Microsoft and 3Com-IBM.

We live in a world of dissolving boundaries—between authors and readers, performers and audience, devices and bodies, politics and materiality, information and uncertainty. Many theorists of artistic and digital culture see this as a direct consequence of electronic technology, which stretches our bodies and minds in ever new and challenging ways. As technology connects us to each other and extends our cognitive and social capabilities, so too does it re-write the codes of political, intellectual and artistic engagement that govern questions of what we do as creative practitioners, and why.
In such a context, the concept of poetics becomes increasingly complex, requiring not only a reflection on the personal and subjective intricacies of practice, but necessitating an in-depth look at how media themselves govern, shape and contextualize the practices we use them to engage. As we use a medium, so too does it use us. At stake in this relationship is both the expressive capacity of the individual and the creative potentialities of media themselves.
This conference is dedicated to embodied explorations of technology, that is, technology seen as a creative medium for everyday experience. This might be seen as a mapping of poetics onto the autobiographical intricacies of life—extending aesthetic theories of participation into the realm of performative living. This might be explored as a metaphor for creative practice—where the understanding of technology serves as a catalyst for re-thinking relationships to the media we engage. This might be taken as a challenge for subjectivity and the fashioning of identity—in which the understanding of oneself technologically yields new creative possibilities for autobiographical living.
Topics may include: the shifting role of the medium, author/artist or reader/audience in a technological world; he importance of participation, inter subjectivity or community in artistic practice; the presence or absence of poetics in a climate of social, intellectual or creative uncertainty; the constitution or obliteration of identity through the act of artistic creation; devices and/or media as contexts for creative self-constitution or identity collaboration; the politics and complexities of digital culture and creative practice

Fiscal framework emerges
Listen to top Democrats and Republicans talk on camera, and it sounds like they could not be further apart on a year-end tax-and-spending deal — a down payment on a $4 trillion grand bargain.
But behind the scenes, top officials who have been involved in the talks for many months say the contours of a deal — including the size of tax hikes and spending cuts it will most likely contain — are starting to take shape.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Confident Obama sees path to fiscal cliff win)
Cut through the fog, and here's what to expect: Taxes will go up just shy of $1.2 trillion — the middle ground of what President Barack Obama wants and what Republicans say they could stomach. Entitlement programs, mainly Medicare, will be cut by no less than $400 billion — and perhaps a lot more, to get Republicans to swallow those tax hikes. There will be at least $1.2 trillion in spending cuts and "war savings." And any final deal will come not by a group effort but in a private deal between two men: Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). The two men had a 30-minute phone conversation Wednesday night — but the private lines of communications remain very much open.
No doubt, there will be lots of huffing and puffing before any deal can be had. And, no doubt, Obama and Congress could easily botch any or all three of the white-knuckle moments soon to hit this town: the automatic spending cuts and expiration of the Bush tax cuts, both of which kick in at the end of this year, and the federal debt limit that hits early next.
( Also on POLITICO: Can McConnell, Obama overcome bad blood?)
But it's clear to veterans of this budget fight a deal is there to be done. Here is the state of play that is sketched out by top officials in both parties:
The coming tax hike
There is no chance taxes are not going up for people making north of $250,000 — and virtually no chance that doesn't include their tax rates, too.
Republicans publicly say they are opposed to rate hikes — but privately they know they are going up, if not all the way to the Clinton-era 39.6 percent, then darn close.
The reason is simple math. Take a look at this list, and you will see that any tax loopholes worth closing won't get Obama or Republicans close to their targets.
To those involved in the talks, it's not really a mystery how big the overall hike will be. Boehner was for $800 billion before the election, and Obama slapped down an opening bid of $1.6 trillion after. So it doesn't take Ernst and Young to add those numbers, divide by two and know the president wants to end up close to $1.2 trillion.
( PHOTOS: Fiscal cliff's key players)
House Republicans, already worried about possible primary challenges in 2014, are pleading to keep that number below $1 trillion, even if it is by a hair. Still, they know it's likely to come in a shade higher. The safe bet is just over $1 trillion for the final number. A bit less, and that's a notable win for Boehner.

The Life Raft for psychiatry
Few fields of medicine are as unique and exciting at psychiatry. Where else are you going to find a 34-year-old man talking to his penis and telling it secrets? At the end of your shift you will come home wanting nothing more than to tell all of your friends and neighbors about all of the interesting people you've met throughout the day. Don't go breaking HIPPA and other codes of decency just yet. There are several important rules of etiquette that apply more so to psychiatry than to any other specialty.
First off, never say that a patient is "crazy," "bizarre," or even "psychotic." These terms stigmatize mental disease and place blame on the patient for a neurochemical disorder that could just as easily affect any one of us. Instead used terms like "inappropriate behavior" or better yet, cite specific examples of things that the patient does, such as "responding to internal stimuli."
Second, never say that a psychiatry resident is "crazy," "bizarre," or "psychotic." For whatever reason, the strangest people in medical school generally end up as shrinks. And as the book Mount Misery tells us, psychiatrists will specialize in their defects. There are many stigmas against the field both within medicine and among the lay public. And you certainly don't need to contribute to them.
Television shows such as Dr. Phil leave us believing that anyone can treat mental disease and has turned us into a nation of armchair therapists. Encroachment on the field by social workers, life counselors, and a variety of psychologists who use any title such as "school psychologist" make the specialty seem easy to enter.
Among other physicians, psychiatrists are seen as being helpless to treat medical conditions. I wanted to apologize to our consultants every time we had to call them because our residents could not manage blood pressures of 150/90. Whenever a patient attempted suicide by cutting his wrist and then presenting to the psychiatric hospital, he was immediately deferred to another physician to suture the wound closed. The other specialists were generally greatly annoyed that anyone with a title of "M.D." could be unable to manage mild hypertension or mildly elevated blood sugars.
What you need to know to succeed on your clerkship:
1. Drugs, drugs, drugs. With the exception of electroconvulsive therapy, there are no procedures to master in this rotation (as if you'll even see ECT during this rotation). The sole method of treating mental disease amongst psychiatrists is to use an armory of medication in the hopes that the various neurotransmitters are put back into proper balance. I suggest that you either find or make a list of various psychotropic medications, their mechanisms of action, their indications for use, and the side effects specific to each drug. Such a list of drug names would not be very long, but should contain a detailed amount of information. For example, clozapine is a very effective medication against schizophrenia. However, its most dangerous side effect is agranulocytosis. I can guarantee you that you will be asked about this drug at least once.
2. DSM criteria for diagnosis. In psychiatry, the majority of diagnoses are made solely upon history. There is no physical exam, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to himself. There are however a battery of paper-based scoring test that are used in the management of a patient's condition. Rarely are labs ordered. If they are, look to order electrolytes, a thyroid panel, vitamin B1, vitamin B12, urine toxicology screen, and an RPR to test for syphilis.
Several months ago I posted my stories about psychiatry on this website. They generated quite a bit of discussion amongst my readers. Here are my previous posts. I hope that they can create new conversations amongst all of you.

No mention of how silly administering the MMSE makes you feel?
John MacDonald said,
For what it's worth, the title "school psychologist" is controlled, by at least two agencies in nearly all states, by both the state's Department of Education, and by the Board of Psychology, which is usually under the state's Department of Health. And it's not that easy to enter. My training was a five year PhD program, with one-year of predoctoral full-time internship (in addition to practica each semester) – but that was a long time ago.
We serve families of students with disabilities, age birth to 21. Our purpose is to enable them to be as ready as possible for schooling, and to get to them to graduation or age 21 ready to be as independent and responsible as possible. These are complex issues to address, requiring multidisciplinary work. The students we are least successful with in terms of outcomes are students with emotional/behavioral disabilities – these students will often have DSM diagnoses – their post-school employment rates are half that of students with other disabilities. Many have concommitant health problems. This doesn't mean they are unworthy of the attention of bright people. We need bright people to assist. Just make sure the approaches you use are evidence-based.

I was under the impression that one couldn't legally use the title, "psychologist," unless one had a PhD or PsyD.

CLEVELAND (AP) A year away from managing has been enough for Terry Francona, who craves a chance to get back on the field and back inside a major league clubhouse.
The Cleveland Indians just might put him there.
The former Phillies and Red Sox manager, who has spent the past season working as a TV broadcaster, interviewed Friday to be the Indians' next manager. Francona spent most of the day in meetings with Indians owner Paul Dolan, general manager Chris Antonetti and other members of Cleveland's front office.
It was a homecoming of sorts for Francona, who worked as an adviser for the Indians in 2001 and has remained close to Antonetti and team president Mark Shapiro. Francona's father, Tito, played six seasons for the Indians from 1959-64.
``The fact that my dad played here - it's a good story,'' Francona said. ``It's almost a family feeling. I don't think you can take a job because of that but it still means a lot to me. But because of Chris and Mark and my relationship, I am excited to tackle or attempt to tackle every challenge that comes our way and do it together.''
Francona's interview came one day after the Indians met with Sandy Alomar Jr. about their managerial opening. Alomar began the season as the club's bench coach but served as interim manager after Manny Acta was fired with six games left in a disappointing season.
Alomar and Francona are the only candidates expected to meet with the Indians, who will likely make their choice over the weekend and could make an announcement as early as Monday.
Antonetti said he would like his new manager to participate in organizational meetings next week in Goodyear, Ariz.
``If the timing works out where he can participate in some of those great,'' he said. ``But we're not going to artificially rush it.''
Francona, who managed Boston to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007, arrived at Progressive Field at 8:15 a.m. to begin the daylong interview process. Francona spent time in the Indians' dugout watching team employees play in a softball tournament before heading upstairs for the first of several meetings.
The 53-year-old Francona has spent this season working for ESPN, the first time in nine years that he wasn't leading a major league ballclub. Francona was not brought back by the Red Sox last season following an historic September collapse during which he admitted losing control of his clubhouse.
Francona said getting away from the game has been therapeutic.
``To be perfectly honest, and it's not easy to say, I probably needed to take a step back for a while,'' he said. ``I think I had lost a little bit of perspective. I wanted to get back to the things that were important to me.''
But as this season has worn on, Francona has felt a longing to manage again.
``I think getting off the field for a year was really good,'' he said. ``I got to stay in the game and I got to view it from something that was completely different than I had before. I got to watch all the teams instead of just the team we were playing next. It's a wonderful experience, but I did miss being on the field.''
Francona said it was while preparing for TV broadcasts when he felt the game's pull most.
``We would go in on Saturdays and we would go down the clubhouse and see the players and that's when it would hit me,'' he said. "Every Saturday.''
Francona spent four seasons in Philadelphia before he was fired after the 2000 season. That's when he was hired by Shapiro and Francona spent the next year seeing baseball in a different light.
``I came here and I was trying to find my way back,'' he said. ``That was a good year for me. It allowed me to watch the interaction between management and field people without having the emotion of a game hanging over your head. It was a good learning year for me.''
Francona's record in 12 seasons as a manager is 1,029-915. But beyond any winning percentage, Antonetti is looking for someone to mold young players, and pointed to Francona's track record of developing minor league talent into major league stars.
``If you look at some of the young players that emerged from the Boston minor league system and became stars or were very good players - Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, Clay Bucholz, Jon Lester, there are a number of guys when he was the manager there he helped transition to the major league level. In addition to that, he's a great communicator and an accomplished leader.''
If Francona is hired, it's possible Alomar could stay on as one of his coaches. But Alomar could also be a candidate for Boston's opening. He previously interviewed with the Red Sox, who fired Bobby Valentine on Thursday.

How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
England developed the first railroads in the 1820s. By the 1830s businessmen, politicians, engineers, and speculators along the Atlantic coast of the U.S. were already eagerly promoting this new form of transportation. Two factors primarily determined where the tracks would be built. Geography was the first: rail lines followed, whenever possible, traditional passages over difficult terrain first used by American Indians and later by trappers and settlers. The location of roads and waterways which could transport goods to and from rail lines also affected where stations would be established. The second factor centered on what historians refer to as "boosterism." Towns competed fiercely with each other as they tried to draw the railroad toward them. First, they often bought stock in a railroad to encourage it to lay its tracks through their area; later they helped lines that wanted to expand. Cities also actively promoted themselves as centers for industry. By stimulating local business they would increase traffic and therefore profits for the railroad. Assisting the railroads was good business for local towns. Trains brought employment, both directly and through businesses dependent on transportation connections.
Chattanooga, Tennessee, illustrates the importance of both factors. Its location--on the Tennessee River, at a natural break where the Allegheny and Cumberland ranges converged--made it an appealing site. By laying their tracks through Chattanooga, the emerging rail industries hoped to reach and dominate lucrative markets west of the mountains. The city built on these advantages by presenting itself to potential residents and investors, particularly after the Civil War, as an ideal place to live and work.

Both were decent cameras when they hit store shelves last year, and now that these rumored cams will apparently use the same 16-megapixel Sony sensor found in the OM-D E-M5, along with a touch panel LCD, we should, at the very least, be intrigued by what could come from cameras such as these.
