Seasons Teacher Resources
Find Seasons educational ideas and activities
Resource Type
Students investigate the climate changes occurring locally, regionally and globally over the last one hundred years. They brainstorm and predict whether the current year's weather was warmer or colder than last year then check the prediction using actual data from the internet.
First graders identify the sun as a source of heat and light. They identify features of houses that help keep use sheltered and comfortable throughout daily and seasonal cycles. Students are told that summer is the best season to derive the most solar power.
Students consider the role of climate change in the occurrence of vector born diseases such as malaria. In small groups, they research a specific vector to complete an information chart on climate changes in the region where the vector exists, the impact of the change on its habitat and the potential impact on disease transmission.
Students recognize the different climatic zones. They describe what aspects differentiate the climatic zones. Students offer explanations as to what climate is and the role that it plays on creating regions. They rationalize why the different climatic zones are different.
Access local temperature data online, graph averages, and critique it. Learners listen to a scenario where weather and climate are confused, and then answer questions to differentiate the two. The instructional activity itself is compact, but there is a plentiful amount of information provided to help you address Next Generation Science Standards for earth science.
Students define the term 'global climate change' and explore how it affects our lives. They research greenhouse gases and identify what events are causing an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Students view videos, conduct experiments and participate in class discussion.
Students explain the impact of glacial melting to global climate change. In this environmental science lesson, students design an experiment to investigate the effect of salinity change to melting glaciers. They share their results to other groups by creating a PowerPoint presentation.
Here is a fabulous activity on the Earth's radiant energy system. This amazing, 31-page document is chock-full of great activities, worksheets, lab sheets, quizzes, rubrics, and assessments. Learners model and explain cloud formation, calculate incoming and outgoing radiation, identify aerosols in the earth's atmosphere, and make climate predictions. This is one of the finest educational resources I've come across! Highly recommended for your upper-elementary and middle schoolers.
Here is a lesson on the climate zones and geography of Arkansas. In it, learners look at maps (embedded) of different climate zones found throughout Arkansas. They engage in discussions regarding how global warming and climate change is currently affecting Arkansas, and how those effects may worsen over time.
Students explore the seasonal changes in Costa Rica. In this dry season lesson students use the Internet to locate science data then generate data for precipitation.
How many of us can say they've seen a Pacific walrus? Not many and one of the reasons is the impact of climate change on their aquatic environment. Children get to think about the food web of the Bering Sea by creating an actual web with animal cards and a ball of yarn, after they see how all animals and plants of the sea environment are connected, they discuss what would happen if one or more of the animals were to become extinct. The web would start to break down and all animals would be affected. They research ways to protect a declining walrus population.
Does the carbon cycle play a role in climate change? Your class will investigate what fossil fuels are and how they release carbon into the atmosphere. They get an opportunity to understand the causes of green house gases and global warming through the chemical process. A role-play activity and allegorical story are used help children conceptualize the process, then a class mural is created to illustrate the carbon cycle from dead forest to mining, to the air. A writing prompt is used to assess student comprehension. Note: The lesson activities seem more appropriate for a younger audience.
So how does the carbon cycle work? Kids participate in a hands-on activity that allows them to understand the chemistry behind climate change and global warming. They act out the process of photosynthesis by labeling themselves as chemicals moving in and out of a plant. They form chemical bonds by linking arms to create different molecules that change from carbon dioxide to oxygen. To evaluate understanding, they respond to several prompts in writing. The concrete manner in which the topic is conveyed is great for both younger and older students.
Learners compare graphs of their data that was generated on a NASA website. In this seasons lesson plan students complete a lab activity.
Students analyze the impact of climate variability and change utilizing a broad span of topics over a wide range of grade levels. This three lesson unit is easily adapted for the various instructional levels listed.
Students examine how to locate and access data sets. In this climate change lesson students import data into Excel and graph it.
Winter in the cold Northwoods of Wisconsin can be hard on animals that aren't adapted to the climate. Investigate the animals that are out and about even in the coldest winter temperatures as you and your class examine animal adaptations, migration, and hibernation. A worksheet is used to isolate animals from the Northwoods region that are active all year long. The class discusses what that animal would eat, where it comes from, and how it survives the cold. There are four extension ideas included to help you further learners' content understanding.
Students attempt to understand seasonal variation by viewing images of the energy received by the earth. In this weather instructional activity, students view images from NASA of the influx of energy from the sun and make predictions about resulting weather. This instructional activity includes multiple web links, vocabulary, standards, and necessary images.
Elementary schoolers take a look at how the saguaro cactus adapts to the four seasons of the year. This amazing plant has distinct flowering and fruiting cycles within the summer season, and other cycles during the other seasons. Your young scientists will make a seasons chart that goes up on a bulletin board. They use it throughout the year to identify weather patterns and interesting plant and animal behaviors as the seasons progress.
Students engage in a multimedia study of the seasons in relation to the sun's angle of incidence on the Earth as it is tilted on its axis. They interpret satellite maps of the world as they show seasonal changes in plant life.

"I'm in the wrong house!"
That's what the intruder was pleading as my wife stood a few feet away with a shotgun aimed at his gut.
My heart was still racing as I took a deep breath and tried to respond to the understatement of a lifetime.
"Yes." I said. "You are definitely in the wrong house."
My wife, Shelley, said that if she had been alone the guy probably would have been dead. No questions asked.
And I believe her.
"Think about it," she said later. "A woman alone and a man breaking in ... I wouldn't have had any choice."
The fact that Shelley is a former police officer might have saved the guy's life. She didn't panic.
Couple that with an incredibly fast and professional response by Plumas County Sheriff's Deputy Tom Klundby, and it was the intruder's lucky night.
But we sure didn't feel lucky when we were jolted awake last Tuesday at 1:30 a.m. Our dog was barking at a man walking through our dark bedroom.
I thought I was dreaming.
The intruder was talking very fast. But I couldn't make out what he was saying.
Was he talking to his partner in crime? Was he armed? Was he telling us to stay in bed or he would kill us? I had no idea.
With no lights on and our small husky on his heels, the guy bounded down the hall, through the kitchen and into our utility room.
"Holy sh**!" I said, as I jumped out of bed.
"There's a guy in our house!" I said to Shelley as I stumbled out to the hallway. In retrospect, that probably wasn't the brightest move on my part. If the guy had a gun, my story would have ended right there.
I could hear the intruder banging into things in the pitch-black utility room. I ran through the kitchen, closed the door behind him, and locked it.
Shelley quickly grabbed the gun and called 911.
For the next 10 minutes, we grilled the intruder behind the door. He spoke quickly and nervously and his answers were all over the map. He was obviously high on something.
I told him my wife had a gun aimed right at the door. I tried to emphasize how important it was that he not even attempt to touch the door. I told him my wife would shoot him. I think he could tell I wasn't kidding.
At that point, his tone quickly changed. He told us his name was "Billy" and he was staying in a cabin near ours. He said he walked into our house by mistake.
We knew he wasn't one of our guests at Camp Layman. We asked him to describe the place he was staying. The description he made up wasn't even close to matching any of our neighbors' cabins.
I asked him if he had been drinking. "I had a couple beers," he said.
"Anything else?" I asked.
"Not that I can remember," he said.
I looked at Shelley, who was standing firm with the gun still aimed in the direction of the intruder's voice coming from the other side of the door. We both rolled our eyes.
Our fear had turned more toward skepticism. We weren't buying the guy's story, but we didn't want to provoke him. We knew it was probably best for all of us to keep him as calm as possible until the police arrived.
Considering where we live, we figured help wouldn't arrive for about a half-hour. It turned out to be 15 minutes.
I lied to the intruder and told him we believed his story. "I'm sure we will all laugh about this tomorrow, Billy."
But I also told him he would have to tell his story to the police, who were on the way.
"Oh yeah, definitely. I don't blame you," he said. He repeatedly said how sorry he was.
The intruder said he knew he could escape if he wanted to. There was a door in a room behind the utility room that led outside.
I've been teased and criticized mercilessly for what I did next. The guy kept saying he was scared and hot and thirsty ... so I gave him a Coke.
"Billy, there is a refrigerator behind you. Help yourself," I said, as Shelley shook her head.
"But I just heard your wife say 'no'," Billy said sheepishly. He knew I wasn't the one with my finger on the trigger.
"Billy, it's OK," I said. "Turn on the light switch next to the door and get yourself a Coke."
So he did. Then he said he was going to get down on the floor. We tried to keep him talking so we could be sure he didn't move.
After a few minutes, I made a follow-up 911 call to make sure the police were on their way.
About that time, Billy told Shelley he was scared and bolted out the back door.
To our amazement, Billy didn't make a run for it. Looking very confused, he walked around to the front of our house and sat down on the walkway.
Moments later, Klundby arrived. I think my blood pressure dropped 100 points when I saw the deputy calmly approach Billy, ask him a few questions, and place him in handcuffs.
Klundby was soon joined by Sergeant Wingfield, Detective Beatley and a CHP officer.
A field sobriety test confirmed our suspicion that Billy was probably high on meth. He told Klundby that he didn't remember driving from Reno to Camp Layman Road.
He was arrested and transported to jail. After he left, some of our guests said Billy tried to get into their cabin before he made it into ours. They said he was throwing rocks onto their roof. "He said there was a big cat up there," a guest said.
I attended Billy's arraignment in court two days later. I almost felt sorry for the man.
Billy is no stranger to the Plumas County Jail. He has a long history of drug abuse, but not violence. He's been in and out of prison many times in his 42 years.
He's behind bars, but he also needs treatment and counseling. I hope people like Billy will soon have access to those kinds of services again in Plumas County.
The evening following the incident, Sheriff Hagwood personally called to see if we were doing OK.
The sheriff sounded genuinely concerned. I think he almost takes incidents like this personally. He has said publicly how important it is to him that county residents feel safe enough to leave their doors unlocked.
He apologized for what happened to us.
We told him there was absolutely no apology necessary. We said we appreciated the sheriff department's quick and professional response. We were impressed by the way Deputy Klundby handled the situation.
And we are not going to start dead-bolting all of our doors. I truly believe this was a rare occurrence.
That said, Billy is lucky to be alive. If he had walked into a different house in Plumas County, he probably would be dead.
I'm pretty sure he knows that.

Good story, thanks for sharing it.
Appreciate the need for treatment. This problem is systemic and much bigger than Plumas County; meaning, I'm not sure if Plumas County can afford to adequately address the problem, drug use. I think we need to explore alternatives to the old Drug War.

What do you get when you have one of the president's biggest backers saying this.
How did we get to -- this -- -- 47% pay no income taxes federal entities.
It's not the problem there's no question we have to broaden the base I could never have an argument to say to you we should not be broadening the base.
And then went -- governor Romney's biggest -- saying mass.
I think.
The more successful people of our society will probably place.
Slightly more in the way of taxes I think it's just fine so you Charles -- will end up paying more under Romney I probably wouldn't and I mean -- -- -- -- -- Perfectly fine if we can get this country turned around.
All right so I'd I'd take a closer to striking a deadly over the nation that's my sideline here -- to -- to bridge the divide in this country.
Just on people's agreed not that I'm up to that test.
But landed here is a bridge in here and and both of these guys might has -- it into different when it.
And simplify the tax code they might live with paying more.
I think -- -- what we're hearing to simplify the tax code but also that -- rotten at the economy rise for rising tide cures all on board.
None of us will have a problem paying a higher tax.
-- or more taxes -- we're making more money in the economy is moving along I think the frustrating part certainly from where I sit.
-- having a discussion about raising taxes at all.
At a time of economic and security and economic turmoil.
So right now would be the wrong time to raise taxes I do think a more simplified.
Tax code.
Would be more effective in terms of stimulating business activity because I can't even figure out when we look -- real estate deals what the various tax benefits.
Or tax consequences are.
You know you're going as far as I know -- my -- -- It is -- just -- -- coming back so what the debt commission recommended in the first place simple by the tax and get rid of special allowances breaks senator.
And we're well on our way and now you have to do different guys I'll be different vantage points who seem to be handing.
Yeah I think -- that's where I think that's where we're headed and I think that's -- in terms of business people.
I think it's almost bipartisan.
I don't think do business people on the democratic about a -- don't flip over your guys because they say that he doesn't get them.
Now you obviously backed strongly the president.
Even with your reservations about hiking taxes.
On the well to do you argue now's not the time but -- all of that we that we would all that done you still support him why.
Well the president's been a champion of small businesses to the degree that he's.
Been able to -- just taxes and reduce taxes eighteen times for us -- -- to talk to small businesses know that they never know with delegates each time.
They don't see it.
It's there where -- it's there in terms of their dates ain't easy throwing your credit that I don't take advantage of is that a tax cut.
And an aim and by the -- they.
Did their taxes are going -- -- -- so unpopular with them as a group.
I think there's.
I don't think he's that -- popular with small business owners I think he's much a little dressing as I had no accident I don't understand when I had them on in the small business surveys that are out.
They're not dance -- It did not that I -- but they're not -- for the discussion on taxes and I think the the Health Care Reform I think those two elements there put a heavy burden.
On businesses and also businesses don't understand what the rules are so how can.
Businesses go out here competing get jobs on this and the reality is those talking their come from we have one of our staff meetings the other day and we were joking around about politics.
And I -- what are you all think you're gonna happen here if our taxes go up at my taxes go up you know a million dollars because -- pay.
Even at the skill of our company I still -- individual level because almost all of our incomes from LC's.
And subchapter S corporations so I asked him what do you think's gonna happen and we dropped a million dollars they started putting each -- -- -- Daniels an elusive job or -- some sort of gonna lose his job were bears lose his job sort of gonna lose your job but they got it they understood that the company still gonna have to have the capital to invest.
And but eleven let's tabloid web left capital unless capital right but to make up for weapons -- jobs rather -- we can continue -- I -- so much sense in a minute.
The -- ages meet with the president say.
Here's my thoughts boom boom boom here's -- I think that's damaging here's -- I think it's creating ill will.
You make -- Nazis he might have bright cerebral fellow.
Just just let him know.
While but the president's advisors know some of my position they're not hearing -- -- I saw the president last night I thought the rhetoric and the issue about.
Bomb attack -- taxing the wealthy and burdening the wealthy with -- so that's he talks about -- but not as aggressively.
So either he's done it he relived reelected he's cool it.
I think that he would I don't think that there would be a congress that would get elected not I'm not an accident that he would personally -- that he doesn't really mean.
I think he means it I think he's gonna governance to different of -- running for office in governing isn't it.
So you think you might drop the whole thing if he gets elected no I think he would double down on -- I don't think he'll -- -- -- who trotted -- US says he's gonna do.

Alternative file manager for Gnome
Divide and Conquer
Twenty years ago, Peter Norton created a simple file manager with a split-view display. Can Gnome Commander inherit the veteran's crown?
Gnome Commander integrates seamlessly with the Gnome desktop, and in contrast to the standard Gnome file manager, Nautilus, it offers a split-view mode – with two directories in one window – that simplifies copying and moving files.
Points of View
One of the most strongly criticized features of Gnome is the "spatial view" approach used by the Gnome file manager Nautilus.
In the spatial view approach, a new window opens to display the content of a folder. If you dig deep into your file structure, this can really clutter up your desktop with excess windows. Thus, a split-view file manager, such as Gnome Commander [1], can be a blessing, especially if you frequently copy and move files and folders.
The ability to see the source and target directories in the same window (for example, see Figure 3) reduces the number of windows on the desktop.
The Gnome developers also have discussed at regular intervals whether to implement a split-view feature for Nautilus – see the box titled "Split View" – but thus far, no definitive results have been forthcoming [2].
The first time Gnome Commander launches, you will see a clear-cut window with a toolbar that includes navigation buttons for fast scrolling, to launch file operations (such as copying, moving, or deleting), and to edit and mail files. The buttons also include fast access options for your home directory and Windows networks.
Split View
File managers typically display the contents of a single directory in each window. In split-view mode, a feature that Gnome Commander and other programs offer, the program displays two folders in a single window (Figure 1). Many users think that file operations are much easier in a split-view file manager than in single-view variants. Some programs – including the KDE 3 file manager, Konqueror – give users the option of displaying more than two directories in one window, but this can affect clarity.
Most of the window is occupied by two vertically tiled sub-windows, although you can tile horizontally if you prefer. To do so, go to the View menu and select Change to horizontal layout.
In the bottom of the window, you can access frequently used commands such as file View, Edit, Copy, Move, and Mkdir.
Also, you can enter commands directly, just as in a terminal.
If Gnome Commander is not set up to your liking, you can change it by going to Settings | Options | Layout (Figure 4). Here, you configure the program, starting with the font type and size, through line height and icon size, to themes.
To specify file types that you do not want to view, you can use the Filter tab. The ability to store Gnome Commander passwords in the Gnome keyring (Network tab) takes the pain out of handling confidential data.
External applications that the file manager uses to display documents are entered in the Programs tab. To access different drives, define them in Devices.

I updated to Egohot 3.55 and got my pkg placement.
I used lv2.pkg
I opened Multiman and found my backups.
I tried them all, without direct booting, while a game was in.
Not a single game works.
No I cannot install the gaia.pkg.
No I cannot install the Rogero.pkg.
Can anyone share any knowledge as to why I would be having these dilemmas when I hear others are getting Gaia and Rogero to work, their backups to work, and etc?

Cultured Butter with Sea Salt
$9.99**Festival Feature!** To make this delicious, tangy butter, Cheesemaker Allison Hooper took a cue from the dairies she visited in France and started with rich heavy cream. The cream is left to ripen into crème fraiche and is then churned into butter. The fresh taste is outstanding on fresh bread gives baked goods an extra special kick of flavor.

Wabash Cannonball
$9.99Judy Schad, owner of Capriole, is a pioneer in the recent American artisan cheesemaking movement. Beginning with the desire to create a sustainable lifestyle for her family, Judy started making handmade goat cheese using the milk from her farm's goats in the late 1970s. Today, that herd of goats has grown to over 400 Alpine, Saanen and Nubian goats, yet her dedication to farmstead cheesemaking and respect for her land and animals remains the same. The Wabash Cannonball is a fantastic example of the delightful variance that is characteristic of artisan products. With a texture ranging from chalky to smooth and flavors that are earthy and lemony, this ash-coated, soft-ripened boulet carries the expression of the land of Wabash River Valley to your table.

Compact in size, this planner makes it easy to keep your schedule with you at all times, wherever you go. Made with leather inside and out, this Small Pocket Planner is packed with features to help you stay organized, including pages for weekly schedules, telephone numbers and addresses, and an area for taking notes. We also include an interior pocket on the left side for storing documents. Hand folded corners and turned edges complete the package, giving it a finished look. Perfect for tucking into a pocket, handbag, or desk drawer, our Small Pocket Planner gives you all the functionality of those bigger planners without the overbearing size.
Our Classico Italian leather collection is a semi-aniline, drum dyed pebbled leather. It offers a little extra color and character, making it a good choice when you want your accessories to stand out. This Italian leather has a soft hand feel with intricate lines, giving it a distinct look from our smoother leathers like Vero and Zita. It comes in a wide variety of colors that you won't find in our other collections and has a polished finish to make them really shine. Its unique appearance and range of colors make it ideal for matching with purses, belts, or other leather items you own.

- Primary budget surplus (i.e. excluding interest on debt)
- Membership of various regional organisations and adhesion to the Petro-Caribe programme

- Vulnerability to external shocks (climate, American economy, raw materials)
- Critical state of public finances
- Considerable trade deficit
- Inadequately financed education and health systems and infrastructures
- Poverty, unemployment, insecurity and corruption
Risk assessment
Anaemic growth
Despite improving slightly, growth is expected to remain anaemic during the 2013-2014 financial year. Household consumption (80% of GDP) will remain restricted by high unemployment (14%) and the weak growth in remittances from emigrant workers and in the salaries of the large public sector. Investment will suffer from the poor economic situation, uncertainty over the country's financial and economic evolution, as well as from public spending constraints. Exports, 85% composed of bauxite and aluminium, will again be faced with a slowdown in world demand, while tourism revenues will reflect the distinct slowdown in arrivals of tourists, who will also spend less. The slight economic slowdown in the United States, which accounts for 40% of exports and from where 65% of visitors originate, does not augur well.
Heavy public debt burden
Despite an improvement expected in 2013, the public accounts will remain greatly in deficit. The overall deficit could again exceed 5% of GDP despite a primary surplus (i.e. not including interest on debt) equivalent to 4.5% of GDP. Servicing the public debt remains extremely burdensome because of the size of this debt (144% of GDP) and the interest on it, which represents half of public spending and 10% of GDP. The restructuring of the domestic part of public debt (65% of total debt) begun in 2010 under the Jamaican Debt Exchange programme has made it possible to significantly reduce the interest rate on this part, but it has not modified either the maturity (50% of the outstanding debt will mature within 5 years), or the repayment currency (the dollar for over 50%) of the total debt. Moreover, 50% of the domestic debt was issued at a variable rate, which constitutes an additional threat for the future.
Weak external balance
The external accounts have long been very unbalanced. Despite an improvement, the current account deficit is expected again to reach 7% of GDP in 2013. The recurrence of big current account deficits has pushed external debt to 100% of GDP, divided equally between private and public debtors. This situation is due to the trade deficit, which amounts to 25% of GDP. Imports of oil products, even on favourable conditions, from Venezuela, of food products (as local agricultural yields have fallen markedly), and capital goods greatly exceed sales of bauxite, aluminium and sugar. Export competitiveness has been affected by the appreciation of the effective real exchange rate of the Jamaican dollar against the American dollar. The trade deficit is to a large extent offset by tourism income and remittances from expatriate Jamaicans. The remaining deficit is covered by private capital inflows and foreign direct investment, mainly in the mining, aluminium and tourism sectors. The business environment is satisfactory, although investor confidence is also dependent on the result of negotiations between Jamaica and the IMF.
Necessity of reaching an agreement with the IMF
Until March 2011 the country benefitted from financial support from the IMF, the World Bank and several multilateral bodies. Due to failure to respect the aim of reducing public sector wage costs contained in the 2010 agreement concluded with the IMF, funding was suspended. With reserves reduced by interventions aimed at slowing the depreciation of the currency in order to limit imported inflation and the increasing burden of foreign debt, the Central Bank's room for manoeuvre is at present limited. Negotiations are on-going with a view to concluding a new agreement aimed at bringing public debt down to 100% of GDP and balancing the public accounts by increasing tax revenues - currently eaten into by high public spending and tax evasion - cutting wage costs, reforming pensions and increasing productivity in state enterprises (possibly through privatisation). Madame Portia Simpson Miller's government and the centre-left People's National Party, in power since the December 2011 elections, admittedly have a large majority in the House of Representatives and popular support confirmed in the March 2012 municipal elections. Nevertheless, adopting these measures will be difficult in a context of weak growth.

Cost: $300 Each summer since 1997, the Meredith College Department of English has sponsored a writing workshop for women who are writing, who want to write, and who want to try writing. The workshop offers instruction, critique of manuscripts, publishing advice, and—not the least of its advantages—new friends who share a common interest. Dozens of women have benefited from these workshops and from other writer events sponsored by Meredith during the academic year. During this one-week workshop, outstanding instructors guide students in poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction. Instructors include Zelda Lockhart (fiction); Nancy Peacock (creative nonfiction); Ruth Moose (poetry); Carol Henderson (journaling); and Susan Ketchin (publishing).

With more and more television viewers turning to sites like Twitter to weigh in on what they're watching at any given moment, it's no surprise that social media is attracting the focus of content creators and television networks.
But it's also attracting the attention of startups looking to capitalize on the opportunities created by a world in which the consumption of television content increasingly involves two screens.

A mere decade ago, the water cooler was still the ideal place to discuss the movie you saw over the weekend or the TV show you watched last night. But with the rise of social media, the water cooler is, for many viewers, online.
When it comes to talking about the latest happenings on the big screen and the small screen, connected devices are creating an entirely new dynamic, one in which viewers talk about the content they're consuming with large audiences in real-time.

If you ran a cable company facing the very real phenomenon of cord-cutting and you're approached about a partnership by one of the companies that has arguably done more to spur cord-cutting than any other, what would you say?
If you're Comcast, the answer is simple: 'take a hike.' And according to the New York Times, that's precisely what it has told Netflix.

When online video was still nascent, there was a general sense that the advertising models underpinning television would one day be a thing of the past.
But despite the online video boom and the rise of powerful digital distribution platforms like YouTube and Hulu, advertising in online video still looks a lot like advertising on television. Case in point: the pre-roll.

Is Apple's next big move the revolution of the small screen? Despite the company's less-than-stellar past attempts at putting its imprint on the television, many believe 2012 is the year Apple will up its efforts to change the device with a big product launch.
If Apple does move forward with a smart television, there's one obvious name that would be most fitting: iTV. After all, Apple has become synonymous with 'i-' products, from the iPod to the iPad.

iTunes is perhaps the best friend of countless music fans. It's easy to forget about the days in which you had to purchase an entire CD just to get one song, now thanks to Apple's service, millions of consumers today buy their music à la carte.
That's not to say that Apple and its record label partners don't want consumers to purchase albums.
To that end, Apple has for some time offered a 'Complete My Album' option that allows iTunes users that have purchased an individual track from an album to purchase the entirealbum at a discounted price.

A year and a half ago, Google announced Google TV, an initiative that, on the surface, looked like it had the potential to finally deliver the television-web convergence that has been envisioned for so long.
Trying to bringing the power of the internet, along with its own Android platform, to the small screen, "might be one of the most important things the company has attempted", I wrote at the time. And for a short while, it seemed to be off to a promising start.
