Making the transition to primary teaching
You may be passionate about your specialist subject, but secondary teaching isn't your only option. Nick Morrison speaks to teachers who have made the transition to primary, and find it every bit as rewarding.For many teachers, the decision to teach in a secondary school is almost automatic. From inspiring passion for their favourite subject, to wanting to stimulate inquiring teenage minds, they are looking for something only secondary schools can provide.
But what about those who have made a mistake? Or fallen out of love with secondary teaching? They may not want to stay in secondary education, but they still want to teach. Is a move to primary straightforward? Will they be able to cope? Or are they just choosing the easier option?
Karen Garner says there is nothing easy about teaching primary. After taking an English degree, secondary seemed the obvious choice, but three years in she was feeling disillusioned. "You realise that Year 10 bottom set is never going to share your passion, and because it's a compulsory subject, older children can turn off.
"Timetabling meant I was teaching the same lesson to Year 8s three times a week, and it just killed it for me," she says.
After quitting her job, Karen started supply, but this time decided to try primary, and soon discovered what she had been missing.
"I had to do a lot of reading to ensure my subject knowledge was at an appropriate level, but I found it far more rewarding than any day I ever had at secondary school."
Karen, 37, has now been teaching at Harefield Primary in Southampton for five years, and says the attitude of some secondary teachers towards their primary counterparts is entirely misplaced.
"There is a definite intellectual snobbery, and secondary teachers think their subject specialism makes them a better teacher, but primary teachers have more breadth of knowledge and greater understanding of the curriculum," she says.
John Howson, recruitment analyst and The TES Magazine columnist, says advice on how to move from secondary to primary teaching is the single biggest subject raised at his TES online job clinics.

"If you're fed up teaching adolescents but still enjoy teaching, the notion of having one class rather than lots of different ones may well seem a better use of your skills," he says. The introduction in English primary schools of 10 per cent non-contact time in 2005 has made them more attractive, and competition for leadership grade posts is less in primaries. "You don't get many people wanting to move the other way," he says.
Professor Howson has called in the past for the introduction of certification to teach specific age groups, rather than a system where all you need is to find a school willing to take you. But he says his advice for anyone looking at changing is always to research it thoroughly, including the prospects of getting a job. And he says heads will be looking for evidence the move is for the children's, not the teacher's, benefit.
David Tuck, vice president of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), says the key to switching from secondary to primary is being able to build up a relationship with the children. "Good teachers will be able to make that transition, but you do not deal with reception children the same way you would deal with sixth formers," he says.
Teachers will also have to contend with moving to being a generalist rather than a specialist, and with having the same class all the time. This can make primary teaching a lonely profession, says David Fann, head of Sherwood Primary in Preston and chairman of the NAHT's primary committee.
"You are with a lot younger children and the level of interaction is much lower than at high school," he says. He adds that he would be reluctant to take on a teacher straight from high school, and would want to see evidence of a commitment to primary teaching.
Jo Dicker says she has the best of both worlds. She spent two years as a secondary maths teacher, but for the past four years, she has taught in Hugh Sexey Middle School, a 9-13 school in Wedmore, Somerset. A middle school means she can still teach her specialism, but doesn't face the same behaviour problems she encountered in secondary.
"You do have to pitch things differently but I haven't really changed the way I teach," says Jo, 27. "I also spend less of my time on behaviour management and more on actually teaching."
She also believes she is teaching the most interesting age group. "They are not so young that they're hanging on to you and not so old that they're not bothered," she says. "They do most growing up at middle school age: they come to us as children and leave as young adults. To me it is the perfect age range."

Are there any specific courses recommended for someone like me who wants to make the move to primary teaching but with limited experience of primary teaching? I have been teaching since 1997 and have had enough of the GCSE/A Level hamster's wheel. In a nutshell, I would much rather teach than prepare older children for exams.
I am in a similar positiion, i have been teaching for three years in secondary and would like to make a move into primary. However i have limited experience in primary schools. Are there any courses to help people in my position?
Does anybody know if you stay on the same pay band when you transfer from secondary to primary? For example, if you were M6 in secondary do you keep your M6 in primary, or do you need to start again?
I have exactly the same questions and feelings as all the people above, but can't seem to find the answers!!! I have worked in secondary now for 14 years and to be honest i'm falling out of love with teaching secondary. Although D&T is my subject specialism I have also taught pretty much every other subject at secondary level throughout my career which in my mind makes me the ideal candidate for primary teaching.
Is there a conversion course that can be done whilst I'm still teaching in secondary?
I have done a little bit of looking into this, and as far as I can tell, you would have to find a place at a middle school teaching 8-12 year olds for a while, so that you can say you have the experience.
I found this: http://community.tes.co.uk/forums/p/297313/4324449.aspx
Not straight forward by the sounds of it.
Thanks for the great advice & comments. I have qualified as a secondary teacher, and have yet to complete my NQT year - having said this, I have also got about 3-4 years primary experience in short-term supply & tuition classes in primary schools. I have had only a couple of interviews, and each time the head has offered the position to a Primary trained teacher - what else can I do to stand with a fighting chance of such a statement?
I have done this - moving from teaching English at secondary school for 4 years to Primary, where I became a Headteacher after 5 years. To make the change I completed a Return To Teaching course and did a Primary placement with that, followed up by a year of Primary school supply teaching. I then applied for a post and secured it, on the back of this experience. Having said this, it was quite a while ago when the job market for primary posts was much less competitive than it is now. However, I do think that whilst I don't miss the amount marking that came with English coursework, I do miss the children and I miss my subject terribly as its not the same teaching literacy to Y3/4 for an hour a day. I also feel that the poster above who wants to move to primary and so "teach" rather than prepare for exams should take care, as it's just as progress and attainment focussed at Primary, only at a lower attainment level. Which is a sad inditement on our school system and the pressure placed on all schools to churn out particular levels and being judged on this, regardless of anything else.
I am doing my PGCE in ICT and hate it! =S I made the biggest mistake of my life! I can't do anything about it now, gotta get through this. You guys have a higher chance of finding a placement in Primary school than myself as you have had years of experience. What do I do? Honestly, I sometimes cry to myself, I find it so hard and the staff aren't so welcoming either. Feel so lost and now thanks to Mr. Gove, the current ICT curriculum will be scrapped and replaced with a new one next year...They expect us to teach the students PROGRAMMING! Seriously, they find it hard to understand the concept of and make databases, how will they learn to code?! I mean, I did Computing in the first year of my degree and found that it was way too technical for me and now I have to teach it. I am not happy at all. I really want to change to Primary. :'(
Whats the advice on if you want to go from 4 years as qualified teacher in primary KS 1 & 2 to PE secoundary because your really sporty and its your passion? Would you go back to M1? Thanks!
Secondary PE is a nightmare to get a job in now as there are so many people plus you are shortlisted even further than with other teaching posts. If you are a good PE Teacher with a good letter and application but your specialisms do not fit in with what the department are looking for then you won't get shortlisted. I have been teaching PE for 9 years but took a year out after my 3rd year and since 2007 have been on supply/temp contracts as I compete against over 150 people for each job. I have recently made the move to Further Education and now have a permanent job lecturing in a college. Better to look to stay in Primary as the new Government initiative has created PE specific jobs in primary schools so try to get one of those by selling your passion for the subject.
I am qualified secondary PE teacher and SSCo and am looking at making the move into primary. I have a lot of experience and knowledge of primary teaching, I'm just struggling to make my application stand out. Can anyone give me any advice on how to do this please?
Hi - I am currently looking into a move from secondary Head of English to primary (pref KS2). I have taught English, French (basic), ICT and theatre studies as well as having a wide scope of historical and humanities based knowledge (thanks SHC!). I can also teach recorder, basic music, singing and dance. How would I best go about making such a move? I have been on the Litercay Coordination team for two years so would hopefully be in favour!
Any advice would be gratefully received!
I made the move from being a Secondary Music teacher (with 8 years experience) to Primary class teacher by starting work as a TA in a Primary school and offering to do any cover going. This gave me the opportunity to observe and learn from some fantastic teachers, and to teach lots of different year groups too. Within a few months I was given responsibility for teaching a Year 1 class between three and five days a week. I then used this experience to apply successfully for a permanent year 1 post in another school. Teachers and the Head at my first Primary employer were very supportive, and gave me lots of advice. My experiences of working in Primary have been absolutely fantastic, and I am poised to start the next school year as a year 3/4 teacher. Can't wait!
I would love some advice. Been out of teaching for 6 years to have a child and then did some one to one teaching for two years (that ended in 2011), but found that what I really wanted to do was primary. I was advised to simply gain experience, which I did for about 9 months and the school are happy to give references. The problem is I cannot get an interview-so far only seen two that I could go for- and when I have asked for feedback am told to get a supply job first to match the NQTs in terms of ticking all the boxes on pers.specs.. Tried this too, but isn't any supply at the moment. Even posted letters and CVs to all the local primary schools. Are there any training courses other than the full £9,000 PGCE? As I already have QTS status, the graduate teaching programme route, or whatever it is called now is not available to me. I live in Leicestershire.
I have now completed ny GTP and NQT years in secondary education and 2 full years of teaching. I decided to teach secondary for two reasons, 1) because I only wanted to teach my specialism (Music), and 2) because I was told that if I trained in secondary I could change to primary at any time, however if I did it the other way around, I would have to re-qualify as a secondary school teacher.
I am now totally deflated and have been brow beaten to the point I want to give up teaching altogether, however friends and colleagues have all expressed their dismay at this as they all feel I am a great teacher.
My current school is in special measures and we are settling in with our third complete SLT change in a 5 month period, which hasn't helped, but I have never received anything lower than a 2 from OFSTED for my lessons, and several 1's from SLT, County and one from OFSTED.
Over the past 4 years I have taught no less than 9 different subjects, 7 of those in the same year! so I figure I may as well just go teach primary which was my first desire when choosing to become a teacher.
I am willing to drop down the pay scale to do this and willing to put in the hours of reading up on non specialist knowledge, but, I have recently been told that I would now have to take a one year course to retrain, is this correct?
I am so dismayed at my current situation that when we returned from the summer holidays I handed in my resignation and am due to finish on 20th Dec. As yet I still have no job to go to and whilst this is not a major worry right now, and I am willing to do other work until I can find the right position, I am concerned that I will not be able to afford a year of retraining costs and no salary.
Can anyone advice me of what steps I should take next?
I have been working as a secondary school English teacher for the last two years (I completed my Secondary PGCE in 2011). I want to make the change to primary school teaching but haven't got a clue as to how I go about doing this. I've read some conflicting articles on whether or not I would have to retrain. If anyone could give me some advice it would be really appreciated. Thank you.
am going off teaching
Hi, I have been working as a Prep school teacher (8-13) teaching geography and Latin and wish to go into teaching Secondary school. Is this possible?
I have a Ba in geography and a GTP, with good experience in a boarding school environment.
Hi! I want to know if I can transfer from Secondary English teaching to nursery or reception? I have worked in both primary and secondary but in recent years have been teaching KS3 and 4. I really want to go back to teaching smaller children again. What is the best way to go about this?
Hi fellow educators!
Having worked as an English teacher at a secondary school I feel I have gained considerable expertise and experience within my subject specialism, pastorally and in many other fields. However, as I move forward in my career I would like to change from teaching secondary students to primary.
I am taking advice to broaden my experience of primary by offering myself as supply for primary schools in the area to gain experience and also understanding of the curriculum. Does anyone have advice as to what to include in that letter?

Indispensable fastener for building loosely coupled applications
Event Driven Application Architecture Module
This module creates a global instance of an EventEmitter that can be required by any module that would like to communicate with any other module in the application. This module provides the ability to create loosely coupled modules or event application architecture.
Event Application Architecture is the process of creating self contained modules that only communicate to other modules via messaging. This significantly reduces the rigid coupling that causes applications to become hard to test and manage.

Dollar May Climb as High as 105 Yen: Technical Analysis
The dollar may strengthen to 105 yen over the next couple of years, a level unseen since October 2008, Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd. said, citing trading patterns.
The U.S. currency's rise in February above the so-called cloud between the first and second leading span lines on the weekly Ichimoku chart signals the greenback is poised to advance further against its Japanese counterpart, according to Hiroyuki Tanaka, chief technical analyst at Mizuho in Tokyo. The dollar will climb to 85 yen, near the baseline of the monthly Ichimoku chart, Tanaka said. It will then advance to between 100 and 105, he said. The upper end of the range is above the top of the cloud on the monthly chart.
"Dollar-yen is likely to follow a similar move to what we saw in 2001 and 2005," Tanaka said. The pair climbed above the cloud on the monthly Ichimoku chart in July 2001 and November 2005. Tanaka predicts it will again breach the top of the cloud "in about two years."
The greenback rallied to 84.18 yen on March 15, the strongest since April 2011. It traded at 80.76 yen as of 9:28 a.m. in Tokyo, 0.1 percent above yesterday's close in New York.
Ichimoku charts are used to predict a currency's direction by analyzing the midpoints of historical highs and lows. In technical analysis, investors and analysts study charts of trading patterns and prices to forecast changes in a security, commodity, currency or index.

@Mugabe, who stated: It's none of your business the relationship that he
has with his mother.
Did anyone else cringe on that one?!
It certainly is your business because that is how you may be treated, or worse. My boys treat their wives with the same tender kindness that they share with me. Unfortunately, their wives can be so selfish, hurtful and mean sometimes! I wish they had observed their wives interacting with a lot of friends and relatives more closely before marriage.
If I were this girl, I would slow down the relationship while continuing to observe. If she doesn't still doesn't like what she sees, GET OUT!!!

Yes, you are overthinking this. Or maybe you are not thinking enough.
This is not about how he and his family treat their mother. It is about how they treated dinner and dishes and a special guest on one occasion.
This is not necessarily indicative of their daily habits and patterns of living. Keep in mind, typically when they had dinner over the years, YOU were not there! They probably behaved differently because you were the special guest.
To them, this was also a big deal - meeting the fiance! and for all you know, the family tried to give him and the siblings time with you instead of serving and clearing up after. With some families it would be considered rude for everyone to get up and help with the dishes because it implies that the special guest should do so, as well, and that is not being a gracious host to the special guest.
Chances are, you may have made them uncomfortable by going against their attempts to be gracious hosts, and you may have offended them by rejecting their hospitality and being a presumptuous guest who inserted herself where you were not wanted.

what was written, I would say it is foolish for some of the commenters to say

I guess my thought would be to turn it around and ask the young lady, if he never cleaned up a dish for the rest of his life, would it still be worth it to you to marry him? If the answer is no, the young lady herself might be the one that is not quite ready for a marriage. She might be looking for a 50/50 relationship that is found more often in a business, not in a marriage. In a marriage, one spouse often has to be willing to go 100% in certain things, for the sake of keeping the marriage alive. It's called sacrifice and thinking of someone else rather than yourself.
How silly would it be for these two to get married, only for the wife to leave one night because he did not clean up one dish, after promising that he would.

I agree with the early communication thing. If it bothers you, bring it up
rather than let it fester. Some people are adept at seeing a need and pitching
in. Others won't hesitate when asked, but don't have a knack for
knowing when to jump in and help. Find out what to expect by inviting him to
help out and see how he responds.
When my future father-in-law asked me after 9pm one evening to cook up some steaks, I thought he was kidding. I never eat that late, and I'd never cooked a steak in my life. So I chuckled with him, and he cooked his own steaks. I did watch to see how he liked them cooked, so I could pitch in another time, but I don't cook for anyone at that hour! He passed away nearly 8 years ago. He was a great guy with some old-school expectations. I wasn't bothered, my (now) in-laws thought I was quirky, and we got along just fine. (Married 20+ years now!)

As others have already said, a son's relationship with his mom heavily
influences the nature of his relationship with his wife, just as a
daughter's relationship with her father heavily influences her relationship
with her husband.
Also, a great way to evaluate someone is to observe how they treat those who serve them, whether it's a mother or a server at a restaurant. It gives insight into that person's true character.

Whether a man does cleanup and washes the dishes is not the only criteria on how he treats his mother and will treat you. Sometimes, for example, a farm boy works from dawn til dusk doing non domestic tasks. Marriage is not about changing the other person to fit your model of theideal, but in wanting to change oneself to please your partner. Shows how little I know but I believe what I wrote.

What someone has learned at home is hard to retrain later. How a man treats his own mother is very indictative of how and what he thinks about women as being normal. Respect and self respect are primary importance in a relationship.

I would watch how his dad works with his mom. If his dad doesn't help, then the likelihood is that he will see doing the dishes, cooking, etc. as the woman's job. I think it would be a good idea to discuss it with him and see what he thinks about what should happen in your home. If he says he wants to help then have him do it and show you. If he says it's a woman's job and that you will be doing all of that, then it's up to you to make a decision on whether or not that's a deal breaker. Once you get the pattern figured out, it's real hard to change it later.

I would do a little more exploring before getting to the "run!" reaction
others are recommending.
It is normal for couples considering marriage to go through a list of discussion topics. I think this is a good idea. Every list will include who does what. Tell this guy pretty bluntly that you expect equal contribution in housework all the time. See how he reacts. See if he's willing to try it with a positive attitude. Someone who wasn't raised to do housework will have a harder time seeing what needs to be done. See if he wants to learn some more modern gender roles.
If this doesn't work out, then it is time to run.

"I don't like how my future husband treats his mom".
Then ask yourself if you are willing to put up with that kind of treatment for possibly the duration of your marriage, if not you'd better re-evaluate.

"Watch how he treats his mother and servers in restaurants too. On a first date if the man talks badly about every single ex or treats the server like garbage there will not be a second date. He and the rest of his family were obviously raised with their mother doing everything for them and your husband to be needs to realize that you are NOT his mother. My ex fiance (with good reason I might add) treated me like that and I put him in check immediately. He couldn't stand it and fought it tooth and nail so three weeks before the wedding I returned the ring and moved on. Best thing I ever did."

@Great Russ
"It goes both ways. I know women view mowing the lawn, taking out garbage, car repair and servicing, and house repairs as a "man's job". So tell me why they get mad about men viewing dishes, laundry and toilet cleaning as a women's job?"
It should all be negotiable! Whatever works for THAT couple! I have a friend who LIKES mowing her lawn. My wife has never mowed, but she does the edging. Whatever works!
Frankly, I'm surprised some of the commenters on here have successful marriages, and would love to hear their spouses weigh in on whether or not they rate their marriages as highly, because there is a whole lot of JUDGING going on, few are leaving room for negotiation or communication, fewer still are leaving the door open for change (or using the religious term, repentance).
The notion that "He will treat you just like he treats his mother," or "the apple never falls from the tree," while nice homilies, don't leave room for people to grow or change. I've done more dishes in any one year of my marriage than in all my years in my parents home.

One day of not helping his mom with the dishes is hardly indicative of a person
as a whole. I never help with dishes at the in-laws or even at my own parents

wife. I don't expect others to help with the dishes when I have them over
as guests, I invited them over, they aren't expected to clean up my
I do most of the dishes in our marriage. My wife always does the laundry, I haven't done a single load of laundry our entire marriage. My wife always does the vacuuming and sweeping of the floors. I almost always clean off the counters and the kitchen table and clean out the fridge. I take out the garbage. My wife always makes the bed. I am usually the one to clean the toilets and showers and scrub down the bathroom. I do 80% of the yard work, but gasp! sometimes she even mows the lawn instead of me. My point being find what works for your relationship and make it work.

I have to say first I think this is a good issue to think about before marriage.
What the best way to work out household duties is should be agreed by a couple. If you want a husband who helps clean up after dinner, tell him this. Make him show he will. And then consider whether it is really possible he will do this long term. Then decide if you can live in married life if he reverts to his current ways. If it is too big for you to live with, I say don't marry the guy.
He might change, but at this point, I suspect you will at best have to struggle with him to help with the dishes for a long time.

There is one big issue that is not addressed here at all. Does the husband live
with his parents, or does he live away. This may influence how he interacts with
them when he brings his girlfriend over for dinner.
That said, I have to say that in general children visiting their parents should pitch in and help out more than they do. Maybe that is just my odd view.

Communication is the key here.
ONE visit does not tell you too much about what kind of husband he will be.
All the folks here advising her to run are sure reading a lot into the ONE visit.
Talk to him...talk to his mother...for cryin' out loud!

Of all the "essential services" of a university, the library has to be at the top of the list. While classes did not meet on Tuesday (Jan. 28) or Wednesday (Jan. 29) on the Tulane University uptown campus because of the threat of severe winter weather, that does not mean academic pursuits came to a halt.
Lance Query, dean of libraries, said, "We are going to keep the library open because that's the business we're in. We are dedicated to providing our students with the access to the information they need where they need it and when they need it."
Students and faculty members may go to the library to check out books, do research and enjoy a quiet haven in which to study. Some library services such as instruction and interlibrary loan would not be available until Thursday, when the library and university will be operating under normal conditions.
The library has a contingency plan for emergencies such as the weather-related closure this week. The plan designates a "skeletal" crew to operate the library for shortened hours.
Hayden Battle, head of circulation, is one of two library staff members along with a few student workers who welcomed more than 100 library-goers on Tuesday.
Battle said he had no problem getting to work because he lives in the neighborhood and walks to the library every day. He said that Tulane University provost Michael Bernstein requested that the library stay open because it is "essential" to the university's mission.

Re: My new X10: LCD fluxuation normal to dark and back
Your problem with the X10 is very similar with the problem I had with mine;
I returned it and in just less than a month I got it back with a new lens. Now it works like a charm.
So please take the effort and let it be repaired under warranty. I bet you will be very happy afterwards. But nonetheless I very much understand your frustration...

Security researchers compromised what they believed to be a control server for the Zeus botnet, but after examining it in detail, they concluded that it was a fake, designed to allow botmasters to spy on security researcher tactics and plan countermeasures.
What particularly stands out about the EFTPS exploit toolkit is their admin interface. Note that it's common for most exploit toolkits to contain an admin interface that manages exploits, payloads, and tracks exploit success rates. However, the EFTPS exploit toolkit contains a completely fake admin console. This admin interface acts as a "hacker honeypot" that records detailed information about who attempted to access the admin console, as well as who attempted to hack into it. The fake login system conveniently accepts default/easily guessed credentials and common SQL injection strings…Finally, notice that the user can also upload "new bot" malware, which is also logged. This should serve as a warning to researchers, don't always believe what you see on these stats pages…

Happy Hogmonay!

Fun with Spinning, Knitting, Textile and Jewelry Design.......and Greyhounds of course!
Did you know that Scotland shuts down for the new year for like 4 days to celebrate Hogmonay? Yeah, apparently when you tell a people they cannot celebrate Christmas they get really creative. So I'll get an answer to my question from our Scottish friends when they "stagger back in on Saturday". I love this! I think I will have to add this to my annual celebrations in honor of my ancestors. Then when my friends tease me "you drink like an Irish lass!" I can retort "and party like a Scot!" I should have discovered this in my 20's! :)
Happy New Year Everyone!!!!

Online Courses for Learning Web Design and Development
Web design and web development are popular career choices right now. One of the great things about getting into the industry is that there are a variety of different ways to build your knowledge and gain experience. You can attend a college or university and pursue a degree in a related field, you can learn on your own, or you can taken advantage of a growing number of resources that provide online training. In this article we'll look at the best websites that offer online training to help you learn how to design and/or develop websites. We'll look at free resources as well as others that require payment. Of course, the free resources are generally more limited, but they can still provide a good starting point.
For those that require payment, there are a few different varieties. Many of the websites operate an a membership bases, where you will pay a monthly or yearly fee in order to get unlimited access to their training materials. Others will sell a variety of different courses, and you can select the specific course that you want to purchase.
Online Courses and Training for Web Design/Development:
Treehouse, from Carsonified, is one of the industry leaders. With a membership to Treehouse you'll get access to 1,000+ training videos, a members-only forum, and real-time practice with their Code Challenge Engine. A silver membership costs $25 per month. Gold membership is available for $49 per month and includes everything from the silver membership, plus it also gives you access to conference videos and workshops. A 14-day free trial is available for both membership levels.
One of the nice features of Treehouse is their Track system. Choose the Track that you want and it will guide you through all of the information that you will need to learn. For example, their Web Design Track will cover everything you need to know about HTML and CSS to get you started. Tracks also help by suggestion the order in which you should learn things, and everything is separated into small chunks.
Treehouse provides hundreds of hours of video content. As a member you'll be able to access the courses on any device, and they also have an iPad app that you may find to be very helpful. The courses are focused on web design, web development, and business. Treehouse also includes a point system, so you'll be able to earn points and achievements as you work through the courses. They also have a job board, so when you're finished with your learning and ready to look for a job, you'll have a little bit of help.
Lynda.com is another leading educational resource that has been around for a long time. The topics covered at Lynda.com are a little more diverse than just web design and development. Topics covered in their training videos include 3D animation, audio, business, CAD, design, development, education, photography, and video. They also have courses focused on software, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Lightroom, and much more.
Lynda.com also works on a membership basis. The basic plan costs $25 per month and provides unlimited access to all of their videos, with new courses being added weekly. The premium plan costs $37.50 per month and provides everything included in the basic plan, plus it also provides downloadable project files that are used in the courses. Discounts are available if you pay for 1 year up front ($250 for a basic plan and $375 for a premium plan).
In total, Lynda.com offers well over 2,000 videos with more being added each week. You can access the courses on any device, and you can even create playlists of courses that you want to watch. The playlists can be shared with friends or colleagues who are also members.
Learnable is an educational community from SitePoint. Like Treehouse and Lynda.com, Learnable also operates on a membership basis. They provide video training on a variety of topics related to web design and development. Topics include front-end, backend, design, mobile, UX, marketing, and business, with skill levels from beginner to expert.
Learnable members get access to more than 4,000 training videos, plus some other valuable resources. You also get download credits each month to download SitePoint books or videos and courses that you can keep even after your membership is no longer active.
You have a few different options for joining Learnable. You can pay $29 for 1 month, $99 for 6 months, or $149 for 12 months. All plans include unlimited courses, unlimited books, and exclusive events. The 1 and 6 month plans include 2 download credits per month, while the 12 month plan provides you with unlimited download credits. All of the plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Code School
Code School, from Envy Labs, is another membership option for online training. The video training provided by Code School focuses more on web development and less on design. Their courses are organized into Paths, which help you to gain skills in a particular area. Currently, available Paths include HTML/CSS, JavaScript, iOS, and Ruby. They also have some elective courses that cover other topics, like Git. In total, Code School offers over 30 courses and 1,700 coding challenges.
Members of Code School get access to all of the training content. Pricing is $29 per month or $290 per year.
Skillfeed, by Shutterstock, offers more than 27,000 training videos to members. Course topics include design, development, photography, video, 3D and motion graphics, and business. They also provide training videos on a wide variety of software.
In total, Skillfeed offers almost 3,000 hours of content from over 1,300 different instructors. This includes comprehensive courses that teach detailed skills and topics, as well as Skill Snacks, which are short videos that teach fun, new techniques.
The price of a Skillfeed membership is $19 per month, starting with a 7-day free trial. With a membership you'll be able to access all of their training content, and you can do so from any device.
Bloc works a little bit differently than any of the other options that we've looked at so far. With Bloc you will purchase an apprenticeship which will help you to learn web design, web development, or iOS development from a mentor (the web design and iOS programs are coming soon, but not live yet). You'll be able to learn anywhere with an internet connection. They have mentors available around the world, so they can work with you in any time zone, and they also have mentors that can speak multiple languages. You'll meet at least 3 times per week with your mentor, although they will be available for more meetings if needed. Bloc states that students gain the most by dedicating 25 hours per week or more to their training.
The cost of the mentorship programs is $4,250 if paid at the time of enrollment, $4,500 if split across 2 months, or $5,000 if split across 5 months.
The web development roadmap from Bloc consists of 12 week long sections. You'll complete different checkpoints throughout each section, ending with a capstone project. The training content consists of lessons, assignments, challenges, and interactive exercises. You'll have weekly office hours with your mentor (via video chat), and you can also access the mentor chat room.
WebDesign.com is a training resource from iThemes. The training at WebDesign.com is focused on topics related to designing and developing websites using WordPress. Members get access to more than 400 hours of video training and webinars, plus new live webinars, members-only forums and chats, the WordPress Developer Course, and more. Membership costs $197 per year, with a limited free preview available. You can view the content available in the library as well as the schedule of upcoming webinars.
Learn Web Development
Learn Web Development offers training that will help you to achieve a successful design/development career. They use a 3-part training system that includes video tutorials and marketing training, expert feedback and 1-on-1 support, and live online classes. The Successful Web Designer course includes both a 4-week QuickStart option that is intended to get you up and running quickly, and a 16-week extended training program. You can follow either or both. The 16-week program covers topics like getting clients, lead generation, SEO and domains/hosting, building websites with WordPress, graphics and images, copyrighting and testing, marketing, social media, building your team, pricing your services, how to sell yourself, proposals, quotes, briefs, contracts, consulting, and more.
The silver plan costs $49.95 per month (or $29.14 per month on a yearly account) and the gold plan costs $99.95 per month (or $49.98 per month on a yearly plan). Both plans provide access to all of the training content. The difference is that the gold plan also provides 2 hours of 1-on-1 support per month and advanced coaching.
Mijingo is project of Happy Cog. They offer a number of different video courses on topics related to web design, web development, and CMS/publishing. Pricing varies by course, with many of them available for $19.99. Some of the more in-depth courses, like Getting Started with WordPress, are priced at $39.99. A bundle of courses, The Happy Cog Way, includes 8 courses that will teach you HTML prototyping, responsive web design, typography, and more. The price of The Happy Cog Way is $99. You can see details on the length of each course and the difficulty level before purchasing.
CodeHS is a beginner-friendly, common core aligned computer science curriculum used in middle and high schools all around the world. For individuals a basic membership costs $25 per month, which gives access to all training materials on the site. A premium plan membership costs $75 per month and includes access to all training materials plus debugging help, feedback, and grading from tutors. CodeHS's modules include things like HTML/CSS, animation and games, game design, JavaScript, graphics, and more.
Udemy is a training marketplace. Instructors can create their own video courses on the topic of their choice and sell and manage the course through Udemy. While the topics covered at Udemy are very wide, the topics of design and development are well represented. Many of the courses are fairly narrow in scope, which can be helpful if you have something specific that you want to learn. For example, you can take courses on Android development, iOS development, responsive web design, HTML5, CSS, and much more. You can view user ratings and reviews for each course before purchasing.
The prices of the courses vary, with most of them below $100. When you purchase a course you will get lifetime access so you can watch the videos and learn at your own convenience. You'll login and see a list of the courses that you've purchased, and you can access any of them. Within the course area you can take notes for yourself or post questions for the instructor.
Best Free Courses and Info:
Now that we've covered the most notable options for learning web design and development online, let's shift focus and feature some great websites that provide free information and training.
Code Academy
CodeAcademy offers basic courses on HTML/CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, and APIs. You can create an account for free and start the interactive courses. You can also join groups to code with others.
WebPlatform.org provides written content and learning material that can be very helpful for learning web design and development. Topics include HTML5, CSS, media queries, animations, canvas, audio, and more. You don't need to create an account, you can just navigate to the docs that you want.

Sources: Junior-college offensive tackle Pearce Slater not at Oklahoma
NORMAN — Did Oklahoma coaches clandestinely add a fourth junior-college transfer offensive lineman to its 2013 squad?
The Internet swarmed with rumors Monday morning that Pearce Slater, a 6-foot-8, 320-pound tackle from El Camino Community College in Torrance, Calif., was in Norman and set to join the Sooners in practice.
Slater committed to Kansas and sent his financial agreement papers in July, but has possibly already left the Jayhawks.
Slater is still listed on the Jayhawks' online roster, though.
Interestingly, a "Pearce Slater" from Hawthorne, Calif., shows up in an OU student search on the school's official website.
On Monday morning, though, a very reliable OU source told The Oklahoman, "He is not here," and added, "I think he went to Kansas and already left."
Later Monday, a second OU source confirmed that Pearce isn't joining the football team, nor is he enrolled at the university.
Oklahoma signed three junior-college offensive linemen in its 2013 recruiting class, with guard Dionte Savage and tackle Josiah St. John signing in February and guard Tony Feo joining the team this summer. All three are on campus, practicing and apparently making a strong push for immediate playing time.

The Art of Wheelmaking
Ballymote Community Enterprise,
Coaches Workshop, Ballymote, Co. Sligo
The Coaches Workshop was opened in Ballymote in 1990 under Ballymote Community Enterprise and it was funded by FAS. The Coach Consultant was Paddy Egan. The aim of this training course was to target early school leavers and to provide them with a skill that would enable them to gain employment.
Over all, it was a very successful operation as it revived the craft of Coach building and related trades such as blacksmiths, upholsterers, etc. The workshop is situated at the back of the Enterprise Centre in Ballymote. The O Hara Coaches are in storage in Dublin and Ballymote Community Enterprise hope to bring these Coaches back to Ballymote and house them in the Mill, when it is restored.
Today the workshop for wheelmaking and repairs is situated at the rear of the Enterprise Centre on Pearse Road and Paddy continues with his art of repairing and making wheels. There are not many wheelwrights of his calibre to be found nowadays.
Ballymote is renowned for its horse drawn carriages and coaches which we have restored. Mr. Paddy Egan and his workers have done Trojan work to keep the tradition of coachbuilding and wheelmaking alive. Paddy, a wheelwright and master craftsman, demonstrates the art of wheelmaking at various festivals north and south. Some photographs are enclosed showing his skills at the Ballina Heritage Day, Co. Mayo and Country Comes to Town Festival in Portadown, Northern Ireland. Details of these festivals are on the Internet.

Keeping it Real: Ale, Wine and Whisky Tours
Aside from just drinking, the UK is also justifiably lauded for making some of the finest tipples. Real ale, cider and Scotch all have their origins in these isles, and in recent years Britain has even started to make something of name for itself in the world of wine production.
So, for a slight twist on the traditional British bank holiday booze-up, we thought the next couple of long weekends might be good opportunities to learn something. OK, that something is about the wines, spirits and beer we're imbibing, but it's culture all the same. Here are a few of the great places you can experience alcoholic alchemy first-hand…
Three Choirs, Gloucestershire
Situated in glorious Gloucestershire within an hour's drive of Bristol, Birmingham and Cardiff, Three Choirs Vineyard is open every day for rustic rambles through its 75 acres, tours of the award-winning winery and more. Make a day of it and have lunch - prepared from locally sourced seasonal produce – at the restaurant, have a sip and soak up the surroundings with panoramic views from the Vine Room. Ale acolytes should also check out the adjoining Whittingtons Brewery. A great vantage point for visiting several cathedral cities, the Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean, it's well worth stopping over. That way you can really get your fill of the winery's wares too.
Bookers Vineyard / Bolney Wine Estate, West Sussex
Not far from Brighton, Bolney Wine Estate is the perfect side-trip if you're on a Sussex seaside jaunt. The estate is a traditional, family-run affair and proud producer of English (as opposed to British) red, white and sparkling wines, several of which are award-winners. Starting with 3 acres of vines in 1972, they've expanded to 22 and since 2005 have been working with a new state-of-the-art winery. Guided tours of the vineyard and winery are delivered with as much humour as expertise and, if you take the 'luxury' option, are topped off with a highly regarded Ploughman's lunch.
Westons, Herefordshire
Cider drinker? Got kids? A little trip to the Herefordshire village of Much Marcle might be the ultimate day out. Westons Visitor Centre not only offers guided tours of its mill and free tastings of its vast selection of ciders and perries (often referred to as pear ciders), it also has a children's playground and shire horse rides. Learn the whole story of cider, from planting to pouring, enjoy the Edwardian style courtyard and garden and, if you wait until May, meet the animals at the farm park.
Adnams, Suffolk
If you're a real ale aficionado or just curious about where your pint came from, the Adnams brewery tour makes for an illuminating excursion. Though it still resides in a lovely Victorian building that screams quaint rural England, the set-up inside is state-of-the-art and huge. Here you'll be guided through every step of the beer-making process before taking part in a 'tutored tasting'. Best of all, the brewery is located in Southwold on the Suffolk Coast, officially designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. So, when you're done and have collected your free bottle, explore the surroundings.
North Yorkshire
Close to the Yorkshire Dales and not too far to the west of the North York Moors, Ripon is home to not one but two great British breweries. Here you can taste fantastic ale direct from the cask at Theakstons in Masham, or take a 'shepherded' tour of the Black Sheep Brewery and sample some locally sourced grub at their bistro. Or both. Then you can walk it all off in one of England's finest National Parks.
Laphroaig, Islay
For whisky lovers of course, the only place to get the inside story is Scotland. For an overview of traditional single malt craft, The Scotch Whiskey Experience in Edinburgh will provide a nice taster. For the keen and adventurous though, Islay in the Inner Hebrides is the place to head. Its modest 239 square mile area is home to ten distilleries, with three in a short stretch along its southern coast. The brilliant Laphroaig tour, aside from explaining the complex process of whisky making, takes in 200 years of historical tidbits including water disputes and all sorts. If you think it sounds a bit far, the in-depth virtual tour on their website might well persuade you to make the trip.

SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, Calif.—Nearly 300 people packed the sanctuary of West Valley Christian Church and School last night to honor two girls no one in the room had ever met.
The school was supposed to be the destination for 29 students and five teachers from China's Jiangshan Middle School. But on Saturday, the plane carrying them from a layover in South Korea to San Francisco crashed on landing, leaving 180 passengers injured, and two of the students, Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia, dead.
In the sanctuary, 34 candles lit up the stage, representing the guests that never arrived, and two school desks, covered in flowers, sat empty in memory of the two dead girls. The church set up the vigil in Mandarin and English for a livestream aimed at the students' Chinese families. A choir from a local Chinese church sang "Amazing Grace" in Mandarin, and a woman translated the speeches and prayers given in English.
"I hope they see that we genuinely care," said Derek Swales, West Valley school administrator. "None of these people knew them, but we all came out to show our honor, love, and respect."
The students were supposed to arrive at the school this week for a 3-week language and culture program arranged by Jianshan Middle School. The students were to have stayed with host families, many of whom attend West Valley Christian Church. Swales said he did not know if the students were Christians. West Valley merely provided the facility.
As more details about Ye and Wang appear in news reports, Eliu Elisara, the chairman of the school's board, said the girls sound much like his own 17-year-old daughter. Ye loved Latin dance and music, even serving as a DJ for her school's radio station. Wang was an artist, a master of table tennis, and the school's valedictorian. A friend of the two posted on Weibo, China's version of Twitter: "We three were the besties. I don't know what to do, that they left me so suddenly. How long does it take to meet friends like you again?"
Elisara said the school and host families prepared for months for the students to come, and in the blink of an eye, everything changed. In the midst of confusion and tragedy, "we do what we always do, we pray. We pray about direction, we pray about about grace, we pray about healing, we pray about whatever God needs us to do. And that's what we do tonight."
West Valley students, many the same age as the girls, paid tribute by creating a video for them, reciting a poem, and praying for their families. Afterwards, attendees wrote messages to the Chinese students on banners the school plans to send to the families, along with care packages and a plaque.
"As parents of teenagers, I feel the pain these parents are going through losing their precious daughters," said Maggie Yong, who attends a local church. "I hope this memorial will be something to honor them, a way to share a part of God's love for them."
All around the sanctuary, families sat together, some with tears in their eyes, others lifting their hands in prayer. Elisara asked the question in many people's minds: "So why do we feel so strongly about two girls we haven't even met?" He pointed to Matthew 22, where Jesus tells his followers the greatest commandment is to love God, and then to love their neighbors. "It's because God wants us to. God commands us to. If you follow the first commandment, the second one is natural."

Last Thursday, I had a rough morning at work. Totally swamped, and saddled with an all-morning training meeting, by the time I came up for air at 12:15 I knew there was only one lunch option that could turn this frown of a day upside down. That's right, it was time for another installment of Food Truck Foodie. My overflowing inbox would just have to wait another hour!
I stepped outside to a perfect sunny day. Ah, now that's more like it!
Already feeling like a new woman, I made my way down Marquette Avenue to check out my food truck options. All of my familiar favorites were out, but I knew today was time for something new. As soon as I saw the menu at Brava on wheels, I was convinced. Simple, meat-heavy (I do love my proteins), and reasonably priced.
I got in line and waited about five minutes. And then one of the people in line in front of me went up to collect their order and I realized that I had been standing in the wrong line. D'oh! Rookie mistake. Blood sugar now plummeting dangerously low, I meekly made my way to the back of the other line to wait another ten minutes to order.
I knew I was feeling in the mood for barbacoa, and when I caught a glimpse of one of the pretzel roll sandwiches my mind was easily made up. I placed my order for the Barbacoa Short Rib Sandwich, ($8, no additional tax), and received my order "number": a New Hampshire card. Gotta love the ingenuity of these food trucks. Grabbing a small sauce cup to sample the jalapeno ("spicy") and chile ("hot") sauces, I once again joined the pack waiting for their orders off to the left of the window.
I was surprised to see a few of the folks who had been in front of me when I initially got into the wrong line still there waiting for their food. The mood was a bit restless, and I overheard a few grumbles from hungry patrons wondering exactly how long it takes to assemble a sandwich. Uh oh, my rumbling stomach and I might be in for a long wait!
The orders came out in spurts of five or ten at a time, and then a while of no action. My own sandwich came out fifteen minutes after I'd placed my order, just in the nick of time for this hungry gal! I had already mapped out my escape route, and dashed across the street to the crystal court in the IDS building.
I don't know why I often forget about this beautiful indoor courtyard when I'm looking for a spot to enjoy my food truck lunches. Although it seems a shame to sit inside on a gorgeous summer day, the crystal court is flooded with natural light and bustling with activity. The ample bench seating around the water fountain doesn't hurt either.
Anyway, enough about the setting, lets talk about the food!
My $8 order included two barbacoa sliders on pretzel buns as well as a side of simple Ruffles-esque potato chips.
My first impression was that the sandwiches were put together sloppily. All of the ingredients were overflowing from the buns, and seemed to be placed carelessly, with all of the greens lumped on one side of the sandwich and fried onions hanging out the other side, not to mention the slice of pepperjack hanging precariously off the side. I used my fork to even things out a little and then dug in.
The barbacoa short ribs were soft and well-seasoned with a sweet barbecue, complemented nicely by the nice crunch of fresh, earthy green peppers and greens. The fried onions were a "meh" addition, not adding much for flavor or texture in my opinion. Pepperjack cheese was a great choice for this sandwich, bringing in more of the chili heat. I dipped each bite in my jalapeno and chile sauces to bring even more flavor. The pretzel bun was perfect: soft, not too chewy, but durable to hold everything together beautifully. I am a sucker for a well-executed pretzel bun.
Although the chips were obviously nothing original, dipping them in the sauces gave me an opportunity to really taste the jalapeno and chili sauces. The chili was like a chunky, sweeter sriracha. While it was hot, I didn't think it was hot as the label indicated. I didn't break a sweat, if that's any indication. The green jalapeno tasted fresh and smooth, a great easy-to-take heat that definitely made the standard potato chips taste a whole lot more special.
Despite my raging hunger, I was completely filled up when I finished. The portion was generous, and for a really reasonable price. If they can work out the inexplicably slow service and sloppy presentation, I'd say that this is a meal that I'll happily put on repeat in my lunch rotation.
The employees seemed busy, but the food was coming out very slowly. A fifteen minute wait is hard to stomach when you've already waited ten to order!
Standard to-go look, but the sandwiches seemed thrown together sloppily and required a bit of re-assembly.
Great! The savory sweet barbacoa was complemented so nicely by the crunchy peppers and soft pretzel bun.
Value for Dollars
For $9 after tipping, I was happy to receive generous portions as well as an unexpected side of chips.
Overall Food Truck Experience
It's a mixed bag; I'm hoping Brava can up the ante on service and presentation. If so, they might be able to live up to their name.
But don't take my word for it…

The Cardinals announced Steve Keim as been promoted to vice president of player personnel and that Jason Licht has re-joined the team as director of player personnel.
Keim is entering his 14th season with the Cardinals after joining the club as a college scout in 1999. He was promoted to director of player personnel in 2008 after working as director of college scouting since 2006.
Licht (pronounced 'light') re-joins the Cardinals after spending the 2008 season as the team's personnel executive. He spent the past three seasons (2009-2011) as the director of pro personnel with the New England Patriots. He also spent five years as Philadelphia's VP of player personnel (2003-07) and was a member of New England's player personnel staff from 1999-2003.
"The personnel staff and player evaluation process are critical to assembling a championship-caliber football team," Cardinals General Manager Rod Graves said. "I'm proud of the work our scouts, coaches and personnel staff have done up to this point and I'm also very excited about these two moves today. Steve and Jason are exceptional NFL personnel evaluators with proven track records and their expertise makes us a better organization."

Since 1995, Patients Out of Time, a patient-advocacy organization dedicated to educating public health professionals and the public about medical marijuana, has been gathering the best cannabis researchers and clinicians from around the world. The organization allows them to speak about their astonishing discoveries of cannabis receptors in all human organs: the endocannabinoid system; the marvelous healing compounds such as THC and CBD found in the plant; the cancer fighting properties; its capacity to deaden pain and calm spasticity; its anti-emetic properties; and the emotional peace that cannabis is able to provide to the ill.
Patients are at the forefront of the plot to free the cannabis plant from those who seek to ban it from the Earth. Their embrace of cannabis medicine sustains the battle and has led to legal medical cannabis in 18 states and Washington D.C. Others credit the patients' best friend – the nurse – with the leadership role in the rediscovery of the plant and its magical, clinical benefits it provides to humans. It is the American Nurses Association (ANA), representing the most revered profession – nurses – that has charged all US nurses to become educated about the therapeutic, nutritional and clinical uses of cannabis.
Honest therapeutic information about cannabis has been around now for at least 20 years, the timeframe in which the discovery of cannabis receptors became known. However, the US medical community during the past two decades has abdicated its responsibility concerning clinical cannabis use. The lack of AMA leadership in this controversy is alarming. No medical school or nursing school in the US offers a course on medicinal cannabis uses, its nutritional value, its clinical potential and the interface that occurs between cannabis plant compounds and our endocannabinoid system.
In July 2010, a directive (VHA 2010-035) was issued by Robert A. Petzel, MD, head of the Veterans Health Administration, that clearly stated cannabis is a medicine. Of course, that constitutes a federal conundrum. The largest health care system in the US, a federal agency run by medical professionals, says cannabis is medicine – in writing. But the Drug Czar, a cop, says cannabis is poison.
This news made the first page of the New York Times! All VA facilities began treating vets, who used cannabis legally under state law, without consequences or retribution. Suicides dropped!
Where are the VA doctors in this issue? Is it medicine or not? If it's medicine for Sgt. Black in California where medical cannabis is legal, why isn't it medicine for Sgt. White in Nebraska, where draconian cannabis laws can land a vet in jail for medicating?
Why is the AMA mute? Why are the media such shills for the national indecency perpetrated by our leaders? Unethical medical practice is OK? It's acceptable that medicine is distributed based on where the vet lives, not on the vet's wounds?
This isn't news? Where are all those young and old journalists that used to give a damn about the world they reported on?
How did the doctors allow cops and lawyers to steal their work? When did we start issuing lawyers medical and nursing degrees? When did the law change as to who gets to make medical judgments? Why does law enforcement sit at a table discussing what type of symptom cannabis can be used for as though some county sheriff is medically enlightened?
The VFW, of which I am a member, has taken no position on veterans and cannabis. I'm a member of the American Legion and have written the Legion leadership multiple times requesting the organization's aid. Never has any staffer ever responded. (They did send a request for dues though.)
But don't be too concerned, dear readers. Veterans Day is behind us. Your plastic yellow ribbon will survive until next year. Virginia's governor, an Army vet, will ignore the 800,000 vets in his state that are denied cannabis as medicine. He wants to be the President. Many other governors will also consider their own interests first. Our representatives and thousands of political staffers will find other more meaningful tasks to attend to.
They'll continue to ignore the unethical care that our veterans receive. But they'll banter about the "fiscal cliff" and hemlines and the demise of Twinkies. But the death of the veteran – the tortured soul who has taken his own life as you've read my essay – means nothing. Not to the AMA, not to the media, not to the VA.
What about you?

Left ventricular noncompaction: A cardiomyopathy often mistaken

Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare genetic cardiomyopathy postulated to be a defect in endomyocardial morphogenesis due to the embryonic arrest of the compaction of myocardial fibers. It could be isolated, without other structural heart defects; or associated with congenital heart defects. It is characterized by prominent ventricular myocardial trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses. The clinical manifestations, i.e., heart failure, arrhythmias or thromboembolism, overlap with those of other cardiac disorders. It is often misdiagnosed as restrictive or dilated cardiomyopathy. The high mortality and morbidity associated with it and familial occurrence make diagnosis important. Only 3 pediatric cases have been reported from India. We present 2 cases, that of an 11-year-old girl (familial case) with embolism (documented but rare in children) and atrial flutter (not yet reported), with mother having asymptomatic LVNC; and that of a 4-month-old girl. Both presented with heart failure. The 11-year-old child had sudden death, known to occur in LVNC.

There appears to be something special brewing on the hill.
The NFL is supposedly investigating whether the Patriots used deflated footballs in their AFC Championship game. REALLY? The only thing that was deflated last Sunday was the Green Bay Packers fans! What a giveaway! In Packerland lore, the names of Bart Starr, Fuzzy Thurston, Paul Hornung, Vince Lombardi and others are remembered forever. Now you can add the name of Packers tight end Brandon Bostick (though he may not be a Packer for long). Bostick is the Packer who had the on-side kick right in his hands and let it fall through, enabling the Seahawks to recover and win. At ...

Depending on what area is
inflamed, symptoms may differ.
Crohn's disease symptoms may vary over time and from person to person depending on what part of the gastrointestinal tract is inflamed.
Some of the symptoms include:
- Frequent diarrhea
- Rectal bleeding
- Weight loss
- Fever
- Abdominal pain/Cramping
- Fatigue
- Reduced appetite
Crohn's disease symptoms may come on suddenly—and without warning.
Crohn's disease is unpredictable. Just when you think you understand your symptoms, they may change in severity, or change altogether.
You may also go through periods of remission with few or no symptoms. Then suddenly, you may have periods of flare-ups with symptoms such as frequent diarrhea, fatigue, or fever. Studies show people with active Luminal Crohn's disease, a type of Crohn's causing inflammation in the tube of the intestine, have a 70% chance of recurrent symptomatic flare during the next year.1
If you have flare-ups, contact your doctor to schedule an appointment. You can always be prepared for unexpected symptoms. Carrying your Restroom Request Card can help you discreetly request access to restricted restrooms when unexpected symptoms occur.
Inflammation can lead to Crohn's disease flare-ups.
Painful flare-ups occur when the lining of your intestines swells and thickens, obstructing normal movement through your digestive tract.
Learn about your Crohn's symptoms and how they could be linked to damaging inflammation with Expert Advice.
Potential complications may occur with Crohn's disease.
Along with painful symptoms, Crohn's disease can lead to complications, including obstruction of the intestines, and the formation of scar tissue.
Other potential complications of Crohn's include the formation of fissures (small cuts or tears in the anal canal, which may bleed), abscesses (localized infection or collection of pus), and fistulas (abnormal tunnels that form between two structures of the body).
Or you may experience other symptoms, including:
Surgery may be needed to repair damage caused by Crohn's disease.
Your doctor may recommend surgery to remove a damaged portion of your digestive tract, to close fistulas, or remove scar tissue.
Did you know?
Crohn's disease can affect
any part of the digestive tract.
Inflammation can
attack anywhere from
the mouth to the anus,
resulting in cramping,
diarrhea, or other

Jayson DiManche leads the team with 5.5 sacks this year
Nov. 14, 2010
By Jason Clay
ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Southern Illinois outside linebacker Jayson DiManche has been named the Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Week after leading the Salukis to a 20-10 victory over No. 21 Western Illinois, the league announced Sunday.
This is the first defensive player of the week award for the Salukis this year and the first such honor in DiManche's career.
The sophomore from Hamilton, N.J. had a career-high three sacks for a loss of 43 yards, tied for the team lead with five tackles and had two quarterback hurries against the Leathernecks. His three sacks are the most by a Saluki since Kyle Walker had three against North Dakota State on Sept. 26, 2009.
DiManche led the Saluki defense that held WIU, which came into the game with the nation's top offense, to 160 yards and 29 points under its per game average. The Leathernecks had negative seven yards rushing in the game.
His biggest play came when the Leathernecks had the ball on the SIU four in a 10-point game with just over five minutes to go. On third-and-goal, DiManche dropped WIU quarterback Matt Barr on a sack for a loss of 21 yards. That forced WIU into a field goal that sailed wide, and the Salukis went on to claim the victory.
DiManche is now tied for third in the MVFC in both sacks per game (0.70) and tackles for a loss (10).

The question Welcome to the discussion thread for Nokia Location APIs has somehow survived for over a month. The user in question also created the tag wiki and excerpt.
As it has both "thread" and "discussion" in the title I would have thought this should have been caught by the low quality filter. Shouldn't it have been?
I can't find any evidence on the Nokia Forums that they're attempting to move them here but this seems to be relatively strange if it wasn't created by an employee.
