Pro Tools 8 Essential Training unveils the inner workings of the industry-standard software for music and post-production. Musician, producer, and educator David Franz demonstrates all the concepts and techniques necessary for recording, editing, mixing, and mastering in Pro Tools 8. He teaches how to create music with virtual instruments and plug-ins, edit with elastic audio for time and pitch manipulation, create a musical score, and mix with effects loops. This course can help any music producer, sound engineer, or hobbyist become proficient in Pro Tools 8. Exercise files accompany the course.
The Transport window on Pro Tools acts like the controls on a tape machine. You can open it up by choosing Window > Transport. Here we are looking at the smallest version of the Transport window and you can see the most essential controls. We have Return to 0, Rewind, Fast Forward, and Go to End, the Stop button, Play, and Record. You also have the Input Monitor Enabled and the Record Enable Status LED. This will light up, if any track is record enabled.
One thing to note to if you right- click the Record button, you can access all of the various record modes. We'll talk about that later. The same thing here. If you right-click the Play button, there are several options for playback which we'll cover later as well. Click the Transport menu button and we can start adding things into the Transport window such as the Counters. Here we have the Main Counter and we can select what our time frame is. Samples, Mins:Secs, or Bars|Beats. You can add MIDI controls. These buttons help you do all kinds of stuff in MIDI. Wait for Note, this is a type of recording that you can do in MIDI. You can add the click track, MIDI Merge, and the Conductor track.
You can add Synchronization. This Online button helps you sync with other devices and you can also Generate MIDI time code. If we add the Expanded Transport, we get a whole bunch of other features such as Pre-roll or Post-roll, our Play Selection Length area, our secondary counter and we can add a Count Off, we can see what the Meter is and the Tempo of the session is.
An easy way to open up this window is actually to press Command+1 on the numeric keypad for Mac or Ctrl+1 on the numeric keypad for Windows. You can show all of these Transport functions in the Edit window toolbar. If we choose Transport, we'll see the basic controls and then the Expanded Transport shows everything else that we need. Let's open up the Big Counter. Choose Big Counter from the Windows menu.
That is exactly what you'd expect. In fact, we can make it even bigger if we drag it our like this. To open this up quickly with the key command, you can press Command+3 on the numeric keypad with a Mac or Ctrl+3 on a numeric keypad in a Windows machine. Like the Transport window, the Big Counter is a floating window and it's handy for watching the time from a distance if you are far away from your computer and/or also for helping you find a sync point or just to make you more aware of the time.
People also use it in postproduction for watching time code, although that's only an option for Pro Tools HD systems and LE systems that have the DV toolkit. If we click this little button here, we can choose the time scale. Whether you are looking at the Big Counter, the Transport window. Or the Counter section up here in the Edit toolbar, if you press the asterisk in the numeric keypad, you can highlight the time starting with the unit farthest to the left. If you press the period, you can go through the time fields to the right.
Hit the Enter key to enter the time. If we close the Big Counter window and then do the same thing, pressing the asterisk, you'll see it hop into the Transport window. If we close the Transport window and do the same, you will see it hop up here into the Edit toolbar. Although the Big Counter in Transport windows have their uses, I usually just keep the Transport controls up here in the top of the Edit window toolbar for easy access.

Adobe Illustrator has long been a popular vector–based drawing program, but for many the learning curve is steep. In Illustrator CS4 One-on-One: Fundamentals, author and leading industry expert Deke McClelland shows users how to get in to the Illustrator mindset and overcome this learning curve. He covers the application's key features in a new way, making it simple and easy to master Illustrator. Deke teaches viewers how to use the core drawing and shape tools, the transformation and reshaping features, text, and the Pen tool. He also explains how to export and print. Even if learning Illustrator has been a struggle in the past, this training can help make sense of it. Exercise files accompany the course.
Now that we've laid out the entire document, what if we decide at this point that we want to make some minor modifications to our text and then we want to apply those minor modifications across the entire poem. Well, we can do that using a paragraph style, as I'll demonstrate right now. I've gone ahead and saved my progress as Threaded text.ai inside the 08_type folder. And I'm going to switch to page 2 of this document over here and let's say I decide that the text is spaced a little close together in terms of the Leading. The Leading is too shallow and I want to expand it a little bit so that I can get the text away from the socks, ever so slightly.
So I'm going to use this text block right here as the guinea pig. I'm just going to go ahead and click on it with the Black Arrow tool to select it and then I'll press Ctrl+T or Command+T on the Mac to bring up the Character palette. And I'm going to experiment with a different Leading value. Let's just go ahead and try 28 points right there. It was 26.4 by virtue of auto leading. If I change it to 28 and press the Enter key or the Return key on the Mac, notice that that moves these lines of text down ever so slightly. This is just by the way of a random approach to this text here.
Let's say I also decide that the Kerning shouldn't be Optical, it should be what Adobe says it should be Auto for this particular font and that does slightly adjust those characters right there. And then I could even say you know what, I want my type to be just slightly -- I'm really playing with fire here, but let's see what happens if I raise my type size to 22.5 and apply that. That does make the text ever so slightly larger and let's say I decide that's the way I want my text to be. All right, I just applied three formatting attributes to this text block right here. Let's go ahead and drag this out, this edge over here, just a little bit so that we have a little more wiggle room and I'm going to press Shift+up arrow a couple of times to nudge that text upward.
So I've applied three modifications to this text block. Now I've got to turn around and apply the same three modifications over and over again to the other text blocks. No, no, no, here's what you do. You go to the Window menu, this palette is pretty hard to get to, you choose Type and then you choose Paragraph Styles. And this allows you to create what are known as Style Sheets. Now they are groups of formatting attributes that you can apply over and over again. Now the difference between Paragraph Styles right here and Character Styles is that Paragraph Styles allow you to assign paragraph level formatting attributes and character level formatting attributes. So things like typeface and indent and basically everything that we're going to see.
Whereas Character Styles only do the character level stuff, Typeface, Size, Leading and so on, the stuff that we saw on the Character palette. So if you want all of the formatting attributes, you go with Paragraph Styles. So go ahead and choose that command to bring it up. Now notice that we're seeing a few Paragraph Styles that were created in advance. Normal and Table Body, they came over from Microsoft Word and they were applied completely randomly, thanks to my random approach to this document inside of Word. Then we have Poetry, which is one that I've created for you that represents more or less the formatting attributes that we had applied in the previous exercise. And you could just click on it to assign those settings if you wanted to. But let's create our own new Paragraph Style, and we're going to do that by pressing the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac and clicking on this little page icon.
Now the reason we're Alt-clicking or Option-clicking on the Mac is to bring up the Paragraph Style Options dialog box, so that we can name the style. We don't really care about all this junk that it's applying. Notice all of these formatting attributes that Illustrator is keeping track for us. If you're curious about one of them, if you go what is with Single World Justification, Full Justify, which means if the column is so narrow that only one word fits on it, what does Illustrator do? And it's going to go ahead and fully justify that word. Well, if you don't really want that, if you're not sure, maybe that's something you've assigned so far, by default, for example, but you don't want it to be part of the style, you can click on the word Justification right here because that was the category and you can say you know what, Single Word Justification? Go away. Ignore.
So that is not part of our formatting anymore. Then click back on General and now notice that it is gone. So Justification is empty. Anyway, don't really need to worry about that. What you really need to do at this point is name this style. And I'm going to call it Whole poem to indicate this is the style that we're applying to the entire poem, the entire text of the poem. And then I'm going to click OK in order to generate that poem right there. Just to make sure that we've assigned it to the text that we base the style on, I'm going to go ahead and click on Whole poem. And notice nothing changes.
That's fine, but we also get this little plus sign and that means that there were some differences between the styles that were already assigned to these three lines, which might have been Normal or Table Body, anybody's guess. There were some differences because we had just gone in and changed the formatting attributes. And those differences are not getting tracked. Those are considered to be overrides of the previous style. You can clear those overrides by going up to the palette menu right here and choosing Clear Overrides. So choose that command and then that plus sign will go away. So that's one way to work. Let me show you another way to work.
Let's go ahead and assign this Whole poem to everybody else. Notice, if I click on one of the other text blocks, its assigned Normal in this case, fine. Here's what we really want to do though, in order to get all of the text inside the story. I'm going to go ahead and actually switch over to the front page here, the first page so that you can see something about this page. Please excuse my random scrolling. I'm going to double click inside of, one of the words inside of the poem and I'm going to press Ctrl+A or Command+A on the Mac and notice that selects all of the text inside of this threaded story. So it's not selecting any of the title or the byline, just the threaded story text. And then you can click Whole poem and you are once again going to get a plus sign, because that indicates are overrides.
Notice nothing changed on screen. We didn't actually assign our new formatting attributes yet. Here's what you've got to do. You've got to press the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac and click again, and that will get rid of the plus sign and you may have also noticed that changed the formatting that's assigned to our text. Now, I'll go ahead and switch back to the Selection tool here. I'm going to press the Escape key, of course. Click off my text to deselect it. Now let's say no, you know what? That Leading is a little bit loose for my taste and actually you know what, we should just check that all the text still fits. Oh! Look at that. I mess things up because I changed the type size incrementally there. So sockie-poo went to the other line and everything else just went to heck in a handbag there.
So, in order to fix that, let's go ahead and change not the text, but the Whole poem style. Double click on it in order to bring up the Paragraph Sytle Options dialog box. Notice, no text is selected, this is very important, no text is selected inside the document, but we have a live link between the style and the text. Let's go to Basic Character Formats and say-- bad idea. Let's stick with 22 and then press Tab, and as long as Preview is turned on, we will see that text change there in the background, beautiful, wunderbar. Okay, thank you very much Illustrator that worked out nicely. Let's go and select this text, move it down a little bit, adjust the other text to taste. Everything is looking very nice.
In the next exercise -- and keep adjusting, I do this. I say everything is fine and then I keep adjusting it on screen while I talk to you. Well, you know what? Character Styles and Paragraph Styles, if you want to, if you want to keep them around, if you're going to use them, you can just go ahead and drag this dark gray area right there and drop it into the column, so that they are a part of your workspace, if you like. Let's say everything is basically fine, let's go ahead and check some things here. Yeah, I like it. I mean, this needs to move up a little bit and this probably needs to move down, that kind of stuff. What about the scribbly effect? Remember there were some Scribble assigned to this text, which allowed us to create something of a graphite text effect.
How did we achieve that? I'll show you in the next exercise.

On September 24, a perceptive federal judge in California pointed out the obvious and cleared a lot of thick overgrowth from the landscape of postsecondary oversight in the United States. In brief, Judge Margaret Morrow concluded that a state cannot treat regional accreditors differently from each other in order to favor colleges based in the state over those based elsewhere.
Judge Morrow's preliminary opinion in Daghlian v. DeVry, with which I agree for the most part, concludes that differences among regional accreditors are insufficient to sustain California's contention that the state can in effect exempt locally based colleges from state oversight because they are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), while requiring colleges based elsewhere to get state approval to operate because they are accredited by a different regional accreditor.
This decision may cut part of the knot that has plagued proposed revisions of California postsecondary approval laws. WASC has been actively opposing some of the changes, even though they don't affect WASC schools, apparently on a camel's nose theory: any hint of state interference in collegiate self-governance must be sprayed with hot and cold running lobbyists. Ultimately, WASC is lobbying the tide not to come in.
The DeVry case may therefore serve to drag into the open one of the less-well-understood aspects of education law and policy. One of the commonest fallacies in higher education, and one which is amazingly ill-understood even by professional educators, is that colleges get to offer degrees because their accreditor allows them to. Not so. Colleges, including private ones, get to offer degrees because state governments give them the authority to do so.
Let me say that again for maximum clarity: Private colleges in the United States have no inherent right to issue degrees. That right comes to them through a grant of authority from a state government. With the exception of Congress and Indian tribes, I know of no other source for degree authority in the United States. The authority may come as a charter, a constitutional provision or a statute, but it must have an origin in state law. No accreditor can give that authority and no accreditor can take it away. Nor can the federal government do either, except for its own colleges.
The federal government recognizes this area of state supremacy in its regulations governing accreditors. A federally recognized accreditor is prohibited by federal rules from accrediting a college unless that college has appropriate state authority to issue degrees prior to accreditation. That is why one current California proposal to allow schools accredited by the Western Association to operate without a separate grant of state authority cannot work. This chicken chasing its own egg is a turkey. Judge Morrow's preliminary decision serves to add top-quality stuffing to this defunct bureaucratic poultry.
California (and every other state) must formally give authority to issue degrees to every college based in the state that wants to grant degrees. Instead, it seems simpler for states to just punt the function of postsecondary approval to the local accreditor. Sorry, it can't be done that way. Likewise, accreditors have no ability to grant degree authority to a foreign school -- only the government of the nation, or its properly designated authority, can do that.
In theory, every state diligently determines which colleges can issue degrees and, ideally, exercises at least some baseline quality control. In practice, this does not always happen, and in California today, it can't happen, for there is no state agency in existence to issue the approval. The consequences are significant.
Right now as I write, it is impossible to start a new degree-granting institution in California, because any such institution requires state approval. It requires state approval not only to get accredited, but to have any legal authority to issue degrees. And it can't get this approval. On these grounds alone, California is flirting with a Commerce Clause problem: The legislature has de facto protected all existing California colleges from competition. Florida tried this a few years ago and was squashed in federal court.
Also, any California institution that comes up for renewal by its current accreditor has to show that it has current state approval to issue degrees. Some won't be able to. Even if all parties accepted the convenient but illegal fiction that WASC can stand in for the state, Judge Morrow has killed any attempt by the state to claim that WASC accreditation works as a stopgap but that accreditation by the North Central Association's Higher Learning Commission doesn't.
With luck, one side effect of the DeVry case will be to hose out once and for all some of the fictions that states, colleges and accreditors have erected around the curiously opaque process of college and program approval. When the false fronts have collapsed -- the collegial slurry panned for its limited nuggets and the agencies of various states (e.g., loopholed Alabama, grandfathered New Mexico, AWOL Hawaii and disinterested Idaho) subjected to the need to perform -- we can hope for useful changes.
What should emerge from this helpful legal reality check on the role of states and accreditors? First, absolute clarity that each state is legally responsible for the private colleges based there. That includes program quality. No more hibernating under the accreditorial dust storm. Accreditors are owned by their dues-paying member schools and should never be expected to serve as enforcement arms of state or federal governments. They are arms of the colleges, dedicated to advancing the interests of their member schools. There is nothing wrong with that, but let's give it the right name: a club of schools with similar interests and approaches, not an enforcement body (certainly not of federal standards), and not remotely capable of handling student complaints.
States that have perched primly in the back pews, hands clasped and eyes downcast while the U.S. Department of Education brutalizes accreditors into doing oversight work for which they are unsuited, unfunded and unprepared, need to stop shirking their duties and hoping that the feds will do it for them. Who on earth, looking with unclouded eyes at the federal government, would entrust it with quality control?
I have argued for some time that the Department of Education should make its own decisions about financial aid eligibility based on its own standards, properly enforced by itself. That is a different and appropriate role: You want our money? Here are our rules.
Right now, the Department of Education is incompetent, in the technical sense, to perform college oversight. They can deal, sort of, with the most obvious cases, but they have no real structure in place for meaningful Title IV eligibility oversight. Regional accreditors need not fear losing their recognition, since the feds have no replacement process in place. Therefore regional accreditors and the larger national and specialized accreditors can ignore most federal noises.
Finally, the federal government has no business assuming a duty that constitutionally belongs to the states. The federal government would love to move in on territory that has belonged to the states for over 200 years. It is trying to persuade accreditors to do the dirty work. The states should not let this happen. If Judge Morrow's case is nominally about the comparability of accreditors, its real impact may be on states that have taken their responsibilities lightly for too long.

My partner Georg had his first of 14 "Furlough Days" yesterday. As a Cal State faculty member, Georg's furlough days are an indication of things to come for me. I teach Chicano studies, and I am required to take two furlough days per month in the coming 2009-10 academic year. So what did we do? We shopped, ate lunch, and went to a movie. As Northridge's president said, "Let me simply … add that a furlough means that you don't work. That you're not supposed to work. That we don't expect you to work." So we didn't. We saw Julie and Julia, a story about a woman (about to turn 30, for some reason, a moment that causes her to reflect on the unfinished things in her life) who blogs her way through cooking Julia Child's classic recipes. While the movie was so-so, the idea of "writing one's way through" difficulties (even to write in order to find a reason for being) appealed to my inner writer and my outer writing teacher. Given our difficult moment, the fact that we both will be affected (eventually) by the furloughs, writing about this seems apropos. So here goes….
Although the University Corp (as a separate money-making entity of the university) is not really affected by the state budget cuts, in a symbolic demonstration of campus solidarity (to share the pain) the Corp offices are closed for the campuswide furlough days, Friday and Monday; although in an interesting use of language, these are now called "campus closure days." This move, however, requires that Corp employees take vacation days to cover the down time at work (this is the pain).
One should be allowed to work, especially when one can, right? But we are in a weird time. One of my colleagues, a recently appointed administrator, admits that what is happening at Cal State is unprecedented. (Haven't we heard that word used before in the past 10 years?) No one in the chancellor's office is giving much information, although there are "frequently asked questions [presumably answered?]" on both the Web sites of my campus and my faculty union. In a time when leadership matters, however, the chancellor is silent. This is, of course, aside from the pathetic (replete in his crumpled white shirt) video message he sent to faculty where he implored us to "tell friends and family what the CSU does." (No wonder over 70 percent of the faculty also used the vote to also voice their lack of confidence in the chancellor: "Of those voting, only 4 percent said they had confidence in the chancellor's leadership. 79 percent said they voted 'no confidence' and 17 percent responded 'don't know.' "
One of my right-wing neighbors found this appropriate time to let me know her indignation with public education by saying, "Well, Renee, you ARE always on vacation." Her husband followed up with a question, "So why is public education free?" Telling friends and family what the CSU does in this moment would be tantamount to giving history lessons (about John Dewey and Jane Addams) and reading off a list, "Well, during those 'vacations' I am often working on grants, writing my own research, mentoring students, attending classes, reading books, preparing for classes in the fall…" and the list goes on and on.
At the end of Georg's furlough Friday, I finished reading a manuscript I am reviewing. But for most working class people, this sort of "work" (if they even call it that), is nothing compared to what they do when they go to work -- or so the thinking goes. Indeed, my right-wing neighbor has been also telling me about the terrible things that are happening at her job, about the vulnerability of older workers who are being forced into retirement, sometimes with good settlements and sometimes not, sometimes with their health insurance paid for and sometimes not. But management is fine. One of her bosses, after axing several employees, was promoted to vice president, along with a very nice bonus and salary.
In these unprecedented times, no one really knows what to do. Cal State faculty in a close tally voted to accept the furlough in lieu of systemwide layoffs and reductions in staff. On our department's listserv, people are going back and forth voicing their concerns about serving students, while reducing "work time" by 9 or 10 percent. One colleague said that he felt it was immoral to under-serve students (who are under-served by education anyway). And what, he asked, are we do to anyway (in situations where faculty teach online); reduce our class content by 10 percent? Ask students to read only 90 percent of a book? Then we are supposed to take days off during the term. I do not know if my chair was joking when he said, "Just think…. You could go to a conference!" Wait a second, I nearly screamed. When I am at conferences, I am working, shoring up my skills so that I am a better professor and a better researcher.
At the end of the day, faculty will have a pay cut. We won't work less. We will do amazing things with the resources we have and stretch those resources to the limit in order to bring students a quality education. Our amazing chair of some years ago put it succinctly when she said, "Like good Mexicans, we do a lot with very little." In our department, I know, we will continue to be collegial, to watch out for each other, to do a lot with what we have. But from what I read in the newspapers, this is only the beginning of a very bad time. The real blood in the streets is supposed to flow next year, when there are no furloughs, when we will face layoffs of faculty and staff.

There are two main narratives battling to define the current crisis at the University of California. While the California situation is an extreme example of what is happening to public higher education these days nationally, these dueling narratives can be found in many other states as well.
On the one hand, President Mark Yudof and the Board of Regents want everyone to blame all of the university's problems on the state. According to the administration's narrative, the simple issue is that the state has defunded higher education, and due to a $1.2 billion cut from the state, the only thing the campuses can do is raise tuition (which we in California call fees), cut courses, lay off workers, increase class size, furlough faculty members, and demand that the state increases the university's funding by $913 million.
The counter narrative, articulated mostly by the unions and the students, is that the university just had a record year of revenue, and the system does not have to raise fees or cut services. Instead, the counter discourse argues that the profit-making units should share their profits, and money earmarked for instruction should actually be used for educational purposes. While unions and students also insist that full state funding should be restored, they recognize that most of the state reductions were made up by federal recovery money ($716 million), fee increases (43 percent -- 9.3 percent in September, 16 percent in January, and another 16 percent next September) and cost saving measures that have already been undertaken.
A close analysis of the university's own audited financial statements (see page 52 of this document) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 shows that in every major category of the budget -— research, medical profits, extension programs, and even state appropriations — the university increased its revenue. Thus, even though President Yudof declared a fiscal emergency during the summer of 2009 and was granted emergency powers to impose an austerity plan that included across the board salary reductions, it turns out that the university was never in better fiscal health. In fact, the university's finances were doing so well that after the state reduced the university's funding, the university turned around and lent the state $200 million.
When reporters asked Yudof how he could lend the state money at the same time he was cutting salaries, reducing enrollment, and laying off non-tenured faculty, he responded that when the university lends money to the state, it turns a profit, but when the university spends money on teachers' salaries, the money just disappears. According to this logic, the university should just get out of the education business and concentrate on generating high bond ratings.
What many people do not know is that this emphasis on pleasing bond raters in order to gain a better interest rate drives many of the decisions of private and public universities today. For example, it was recently discovered that one reason why the university continues to raise tuition each year is that it has promised its bond issuers to use student fees as collateral for construction bonds. In this credit default swap, students take out high-interest loans to pay for their increased tuition, while the university gets low-interest bonds to build more buildings. Moreover, the bond raters have recently praised the university for having such a diverse revenue stream and for holding such a high level of unrestricted funds that can be used for any purpose.
When Yudof is questioned about the fungible nature of the university's $20 billion operating budget, he usually responds by arguing that almost all of the funds are restricted, and only money from student fees and state funds can be used to close the budget deficit. However, much of the university's money is only restricted by its priorities, and Yudof himself has admitted that the university needs to protect its reserves and help grow the profitable aspects of the university.
Yudof's protection of the profit-centered units was highlighted when many of the highest earners in the university system were able to remove themselves from his furlough plan. First the people funded out of external grants were exempted, and then the medical faculty, some of whom make over $800,000 a year, were able to fight off any salary reductions. Meanwhile workers making less than $40,000 were having their pay reduced and non-tenured faculty were being laid off. The result of this process is the increased growth of income inequality in a system where already in 2008, 3,600 employees made over $200,000 for a collective pay of $1 billion.
Even with the revelation that many of the top earners are administrators and that there are now more administrators in the UC system than faculty members, many tenured professors have sided with the administration because it is much easier to attack the state for all of the UC's problems. By blaming the state and the anti-tax Republicans, there is a clear enemy and an easy narrative. Moreover, by placing the onus of responsibility on the state, the university does not have to look at its own internal problems. However, if the faculty continue to buy Yudof's narrative, there will be no way of fighting the continual increase in administrative costs and the further privatization of the university. This double move of corporatization and administrative growth should be a concern of all faculty members across the United States.
Yudof's latest gambit is to ask the state, which he knows is facing a $21 billion deficit, to increase the university's funding by $913 million. Everyone knows that the state cannot provide this money, and so when the state does not meet Yudof's request, he will feel justified to make another round of fee increases and budget cuts. In this version of the shock doctrine, a fake crisis motivates people to give power to a centralized authority and to privatize a public good, while wages are decreased and profits are kept by a small group of power elites.
It is time for the faculty to stand up and join with the students and the unions to resist. Moreover, the university's lack of shared governance and budget transparency is but a symptom of the national move to strip faculty of any power and to shift control to an administrative class that sees higher education institutions as investment banks dedicated to pleasing the bond raters. Only the faculty can make education the priority at these institutions.
Bob Samuels is president of the University Council - American Federation of Teachers, which represents lecturers and librarians at the University of California. He teaches at UCLA and writes the blog Changing Universities.
The report's language is unambiguous: "At every step -- eligibility, admission, enrollment, and graduation -- Hispanic and black students fare worse than white and Asian students in the University of California System."
For the California State University system, Hispanic students are underrepresented. And while the state's community colleges do reflect the ethnic and racial mix of the state's high school graduates, Hispanic and black students are less likely to transfer to four-year institutions than are white students.
Members of the College Republicans group at Santa Rosa Junior College had had enough. They were fed up, they said, with talking among themselves about various professors who, by expressing unvarnished liberal views as fact, made the students feel uncomfortable expressing their opposing views in class.

PRLog - Feb. 25, 2014 - PHOENIX -- Growth is essential for a company to push past competitors, and Thrive Events is a firm that believes in setting specific goals to that end. Their approach to goal-setting, while not new, is incredibly effective. Results-oriented companies like Thrive Events create a specific target to reach, avoiding vague tasks such as increasing revenues or preventing losses. The firm believes that detailed plans are the best way for businesses to receive measurable outcomes, and that starts with specifying exactly the kind of results that a company wants to see. Thrive Events takes this process a step further, engaging in these activities like they would any other project. The company keeps records of every move they've taken toward each goal and ensures that each department knows what to avoid and how to proceed in the future in order to achieve desired outcomes.
Thrive Events, Inc. Team
The firm also works to pursue opportunities at every turn. "Taking risks here and there is a normal part of life," began Puneh, the company's CEO, "and we apply that in our business ventures as well. Without a bit of risk there is no chance for the amazing opportunities they may lead to." Keeping their eye on the prize, and participating in some exciting opportunities, Thrive Events is working towards a smooth and exceptional year of growth.
One way the firm is reaching for growth is by moving to a bigger office space to accommodate their expanding team. Thrive Events' CEO is excited to be relocating the company's office from Tempe to Phoenix, gaining double the office space, giving their 31 member team a brighter and better work environment for creativity and growth. This move offers staff the room they need for promotions in the very near future, with Thrive Events' management team focusing on training and building leaders to take on the task of a broadened market and at the same time providing opportunities for new team members to join their company. One of the company's long-term goals is to train, teach and promote as many business leaders as they can, and their new, spacious office is the first step in achieving their objective.
Thrive Events Gains New Clients
Thrive Events is thrilled to announce that in addition to their move to Phoenix, they are also welcoming a new client to their already impressive portfolio. The firm was honored by an Arizona-based large grocery store chain's decision to choose Thrive Events as their new promotional representative. The grocery store chain already has more than 100 locations statewide and Thrive Events is overjoyed at the opportunity to further grow the chain's market share around the Valley through their innovative on-site promotions.
The Account Manager who will be handling the promotions for the grocery chain had this to say about the new acquisition:
The lifeline of any successful company includes the addition of new products and services on a consistent basis. Crucial to such growth is the investment of time and resources to each new development, which is why Thrive Events enjoys training their brand ambassadors in the most effective solutions for each new campaign.
With the launch of their new client, the company will be contributing to the growth of their company in more ways than one. New acquisitions lead to resource and human resource needs, allowing Thrive Events to continue offering their innovative management training program to new team members. In addition to adding people to the firm's team list, the company will also be giving existing members of the team the chance to polish their skills and gain further experience in order to achieve promotions and perhaps one day to run their own business.
The firm's goal of increased promotional opportunities for staff members will be easily achieved in the coming months as new clients like this grocery store chain are added to their portfolio. The addition of this huge client is exactly what Thrive Events needs to stimulate their expansion to new territories, increasing their reach into new retail markets and allowing them to continue climbing the ladder of success.
About Thrive Events
Thrive Events is dedicated to reviving the human side of sales and marketing. The firm does not put much stock in the impersonal style of promotions seen by those advertisers that rely on online ads and choosing TV commercials. Instead, the highly-trained brand ambassadors that Thrive Events develops are deeply involved with each client's product, by actively employing in-person promotional campaigns. This allows the firm to learn exactly where a client's best market is and how to provide an experience that the consumer is looking for. With a large market reach, Thrive Events can easily carry their clients' products into highly visible arenas.
Thrive Events is dedicated to giving the client a space to reach out to their potential customers, and show them just how beneficial their products will be to each interested party. This is complemented by Thrive Events' personable and skilled brand ambassadors who have taken the time to personally understand and experience each product, educating themselves in the unique features that each one can offer.
What makes Thrive Events stand out in its industry are its business leaders who are trained as individual entrepreneurs through an exceptional leadership advancement program. Trained in the art of running a business, each member of the management team is taught skills in accounting, team building, office administration, human resources and recruiting efforts. With the intricate knowledge of what takes to effectively run a business, brand ambassadors cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset, allowing remarkable achievements for clients and the firm alike.

Overtown Culture: Jazz and spoken-word series
The Black Archives and Design Group Miami transforms Ward Gallery for community
Expressions Event :: Saturday, June 22, 2013
Buy tickets
Admission: $10
The Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery in Overtown
Address: 249 Northwest 9th Street
Time: 7-11 p.m.
A great jazz spot in Miami is as hard to come by as a cold front. But every once in a while, a few people join forces to do what is seemingly impossible. The Black Archives and Design Group Miami are trying to resurrect Overtown's culture by introducing Expressions, a monthly spoken word and jazz series. This month's event takes place on Saturday, June 22, at The Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery in Overtown (249 Northwest 9th St., Miami, FL) from 7-11 p.m. The idea is, if they build it, people will attend, support and see that jazz does have a home in Miami. The $10 cover charge to attend includes fried chicken and waffles from Overtown's famous Jackson's Soul Food Restaurant.
Rebecca "Butterfly" Vaughns, a native Miami poet with international acclaim will host Saturday's event. Other local slam poets will also perform. DJ Jody Hill's Deep Fried Funk Band will provide soulful jazz, neo soul, and r&b tunes.
"We are bringing back the rich heritage and culture of Miami's historically black pioneer community," said Timothy A. Barber, executive director of The Black Archives. "We are creating the programming that will be transferred to the new Lyric Theater complex once it is completed."
From the 1930s and into the 1950s, Overtown was the bedrock for musicians and culture. Long after Miami Beach spots came to a close for the night, Overtown speakeasies were just getting started. Musicians came from all over to hear what Miami had to offer. It was the place to be and be discovered. Residents often recall that Miami's jazz and blues had a distinct sound that stood on its own, a part from New Orleans, Memphis and other parts of the Deep South. However, the limelight didn't last long. In the 1960s Interstate I-95 was erected and split the thriving community and its business district in two. The area, its arts and culture collapsed.

"In time, a city of rich history in the arts and entertainment will resume its place," said Vaughns. "An evening of Expressions is ready to bring Overtown back to life."

A Second Treasury of Magical Knitting
A Second Treasury of Magical Knitting By Cat Bordhi
Publisher: Passing Paws Press 2005 | 112 Pages | ISBN: 0970886985 | File type: PDF | 30 mb
Readers of the first book in this two-volume series (A Treasury of Magical Knitting) have fallen in love with the new world of Magical Knitting, a dimension so simple yet so captivating that one could spend a year exploring the huge variety of designs which Cat offers. Beginning with Cat's unique Moebius Cast-On, which is so easy that she usually demonstrates it in workshops behind her back while twirling slowly around on one foot, the reader first learns to knit a Moebius band, or scarf. This is the magic key that opens the way to all the other designs. The Second Treasury includes felted baskets (with no inside or outside!), felted fringed bowls, felted and unfelted sling bags, six different felted cat beds (one with paws and a tail!), and the trifold designs, including a knitter's bowl with pockets for tools and a place to keep working yarn away from playful felines. The Felted Needle Cozies, colorful, highly textured sheaths to hold straight needles, and the felted wallets are both excellent patterns for beginners and first-time felters. The book includes detailed information on felting, designing, and yarn substitutions.

NBA Finals Betting Preview – Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers Game 2
- Updated: June 6, 2010
#4 Boston Celtics
#1 Los Angeles Lakers
Lakers Lead Series 1-0
The 2010 NBA Finals continues on Sunday night in Tinseltown, as the Los Angeles Lakers hope to take a 2-0 series lead in this best of seven set when they play host to the Boston Celtics.
HC Doc Rivers has to wonder if his team just got knocked around with a dose of its own medicine in Game 1 of this series. The C's used a stifling defense to get around both the Orlando Magic and the Cleveland Cavaliers, but on Friday night, it was a defense in purple and gold that did the stifling. The Celtics only shot 43.3 percent from the field and a woeful 1/10 from beyond the arc in a game that they never really competed in from the get go. Rebounding has to be significantly better for Boston, as it was outdone on the glass by 11 boards. F Kevin Garnett and C Kendrick Perkins, who should be two of the top rebounders on the court at all times, only had a combined seven boards between them. F Paul Pierce led the way in Game 1 with 24 points and nine rebounds for the Celtics.
The scariest thing that the C's may be facing for the rest of this series is the prospects of G Kobe Bryant really catching fire. The Lakers dropped 102 points on the board in spite of the fact that Bryant only shot 10/22 from the floor. Still, Kobe scored 30 points to go with seven rebounds and six assists to lead the way. F Pau Gasol, notoriously known for being "weak" in his career, looked like a bull in a China shop in the paint, scoring 23 points and ripping down 14 rebounds. The Spaniard also blocked three shots and altered several others. LA only hit four three pointers in the game, three of which came from F Ron Artest, who scored 15 points.
Boston looked absolutely terrible in Game 1 of this series, and we are starting to wonder if it really has the horses to hang with the Lakers. It is well documented that HC Phil Jackson has never lost a series that he has taken a 1-0 series lead in, so the uphill climb is certainly incredibly steep for the Celtics in this one. We're going to come back with them again in Game 2 though, as we still think that things can only get better, especially in the paint.
Selection: Boston Celtics +6 at Bookmaker Sportsbook
The Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their L/5 games following one in which they allowed 100+ points. The NBA Finals are in full swing, and the basketball betting action couldn't be any hotter! Sign up for an account right now at Bookmaker

2005 Chevrolet Equinox Q&A
2005 Chevrolet Equinox Question: Brakes
When I am breaking and the vehicle slows down to 5 mph I get a noise and a pulsating sensation on my break peddle. What is going to need repaired. It does sound like a pump is running on low volumes of liquid. The brake reservoir is adequate - ff367
3 Answers
Answer 1
You need to have the brake system inspected. It sounds like you have warped or worn out rotors and very worn brake pads. The brake system needs to be evaluated. Since this is a safety issue on a safety system, it would be best to have a shop do this, to be sure that you are repairing the vehicle in a safe manner. - dandd
Answer 2
Chances are that because of a faulty anti-lock/traction control module on the front hub being a POS and not allowing the computer to read correct wheel revolution the first thought is rotors. Wrong, it is the front hubs unfortunately caused due to the mickey mouse design of the sensor use to pick-up whell revolutions for the anti-lock break system. - dgstal

Late last year, I read The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown. This book gave me a nervous breakdown, but it was worth it. Part of Brown's guide is encouraging us to tell our stories. This is one of mine.
I work full-time and have several part-time gigs, mostly teaching webinars and facilitating online classes. I'm on the board of Sisters in Crime. I play the bassoon and write short stories. That might be it. It's easy to sum up, but not so easy to talk about. People often ask me, "How do you do it?" I believe there is a hidden question: "Why do you do it?" Because I have a little boy, who clearly should be taking up most of my time. How could you give up all that time with your child? is the big judgment lingering in the air. The answer is, simply, that I don't. I have plenty of time with my child. I'll get to that.
Why I do it: I love everything I do, and I need the money to build my child a better life. Those are the simple answers. There are definitely times when I feel so frantic, so overburdened by responsibility, that my head swims and my mouth speaks (it has a habit of doing that, beyond my control). But usually, that's because my brain is on Fast Mode. We are all so tethered to our e-mail and our task lists. Sometimes I maintain the illusion that I can control my inbox (or the actions of other people) and that's when things go off the rails. When I surrender to Slow Mode and the immediacy of The Moment, I feel free and grateful for all that I have.
The reality of How I Do It has so much to do with mental energy and skill, using the right brain and the left when appropriate. I manage my calendar and task lists with precision, while also blocking out chunks of time to be spontaneous. It doesn't always happen the way I plan (especially when one works with the public) but giving myself the extra time allows me to breathe. I do this with both my personal life and work life. At work, I can "manage by walking around" and see problems I might not have seen if I were holed up in my office all day. While on the floor, I am more attuned to patron needs and possible behavior issues. At home, I have time with my son. I don't answer the phone or read email. We play, snuggle, read books. I commit him to memory, one hug at a time, because he won't always be like this. In a year, he'll be some new wonder.
It's not perfect. Of course, there need to be more hours. My husband and I could use more time together. I could use more time with friends. I miss reading as much as I used to. But mostly, what I've given up is feeling guilty, and that's the key. Sometimes my house is not perfect (most of the time) or all the laundry isn't done. Some nights we don't cook at home. Sometimes things wait till tomorrow. There's no point in working yourself into a grave. You take every moment as it comes, feel the feeling, take ownership, and move on. That's an ideal, and it doesn't always work, but I am happier than I ever have been.
I used to spend all my time worrying and manufacturing drama I didn't need. I acted like a victim. When I realized I had the power to change my own life, the world opened up. I know the dark depths of chemical and hormonal depression, and I know that there is no magic bullet. I have been struggling with this again in recent weeks, and I have had clawed my way out of many holes. But I have more tools in my toolbox now. I can lean on myself rather than expect others to bring me happiness like a present from Santa. And when I started doing that, magically, I had more time and was able to accomplish more.
Now excuse me while I go read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and have another nervous breakdown. It's coming. I can feel it.

by Rod Stewart
- Record Label: J
- Release Date: Oct 26, 2009
- Summary: Rod Stewart's latest album features covers of Motown and soul classics.
- Record Label: J
- Genre(s): Pop, R&B, Soul
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 5
Mixed: 5 out of 5
Negative: 0 out of 5
Rod could have stepped out more energetically on this album, but his gentlemanly approach still has its merits. Plus, it's great to hear these songs again.
There's no doubting the love in that old heart of his, but Soulbook could've cut much deeper.
His new versions are respectful and careful, with his voice recorded in close-up. Compared to the originals, they are just about joyless.
It's all pleasing enough, flowing better than the American Songbook albums, and not feeling as karaoke as the Rock album, but it's so comfortable, so easygoing, it verges on the forgettable.
Alas, instead of a small, tight band and a focused, driven Rod the Mod, the project creaks with over-syrupy productions and seemingly phoned-in vocals.

2209RE: [TaxoCoP] 7x3 classification
- Sep 5, 2007
Good day, all,
I wonder if this could actually be the "7 plus-or-minus 3" rule? I have heard web production folks refer to this rule countless times when discussing the optimum number of keywords to display for the top level of a website subject classification. The "rule", if such it is (I do not know the origin), implies that people can only keep about 4 -10 concepts in their memory at a time – thus, it is best to display only 7 plus-or-minus 3 top level classification terms.
Just a thought….

This discussion has me intrigued. My googling hasn't been especially productive (but I have a few hunches) so I want a bit more information:
Could we have a bit more context about the 7x3 classification?
What is the subject area in which it was referenced (or the customer's general business area?).

DEFINITION of 'IRS Publication 17 '
A document published by the Internal Revenue Service that outlines the rules governing the filing of federal income tax returns. IRS Publication 17 identifies who must file a tax return, the tax forms to use when filling out the return, how many exemptions a taxpayer can take, when the return is due and how to file the return itself. The publication helps taxpayers identify their filing status, whether they can claim dependents, what type of deductions are available and what credits are available to reduce tax obligations.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'IRS Publication 17 '
The document covers a broad set of topics, most of which are explained in further detail in other IRS publications. It does not cover business taxes for the self-employed, as those are covered in Publication 334 (Tax Guide for Small Business), Publication 535 (Business Expenses) and Publication 587 (Business Use of Your Home).

The Office for National Statistics released figures yesterday to show over 9 million UK adults have never used the Internet
According to the ONS figures, over 65-year-olds, the widowed, those on low incomes and those who lack formal qualifications were more likely to have never used the Internet. The figures showed that the rate of Internet use decreased with decrease in income. 45 per cent of adults without formal degrees had used the Internet as opposed of 97 per cent of qualified adults who have. 32 per cent of widowed adults have used the Internet.
In addition, while 30.1 million UK adults access the Internet every day or almost every day, just over 38 million UK adults are Internet users. 31 per cent of these Internet users connected through a mobile phone.
Mark Williams from the Office for National Statistics said, "Since 2006 we have seen a significant increase in the number of people using the Internet, with the number of adults accessing the Internet every day almost doubling to just over 30 million, though the UK is some way off from being completely online. The use of wi-fi hotspots continued to rise with 2.7 million people (7 per cent of Internet users) used wireless hotspots at locations such as cafes, restaurants, and hotels."
By way of regions, London has the highest level of household connections at 83 per cent, with the North East having the lowest at 59 per cent.

Thanks. My two oldest kids go by nicknames, but Genevieve does not. So it would work either way. I love Victoria but completely agree about the nicknames. I would cringe if someone called her Vicki! Glad people are liking Elodie -- haven't quite sold my hubby on it, but I also think it works well with our sibset. Of course, she would likely have the nickname Ellie, which is pretty popular.Mom to Alexander Patrick (11), Madelyn Esther (8), Genevieve Susan (3), and Theodore James (stillborn at 37 weeks on February 3, 2014).
