Anna Pitts danced and charmed the doctors at UVA. In 2011, the little social butterfly was diagnosed with the most common childhood cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia. She was just 18 months old at the time.
The diagnosis meant two and a half years of chemotherapy for Anna. Luckily for the little girl and her parents, the cure rate is 90 percent and the cancer specialists at UVA were just a short drive away.
Today, Anna is in remission and doesn't remember the really hard parts of her cancer treatments.
I think the Battle Building is going to make it such a more streamlined process for us as families."

Laura Robinson is beyond excited for the opening of the Battle Building at UVA Children's Hospital opens in June.
As a mother whose son has multiple medical needs, she knows just how important coordinated care can be.
Laura is looking forward, not only to a new building, but also to the convenience of seeing multiple specialists in a single day.
Her 9-year-old son, David, has Down syndrome and is a Wilms' Tumor cancer survivor, who needs to be seen by oncologists, developmental pediatricians and physical therapists.
It made a huge difference. They really cared, not just about the medical outcome but how we were all doing."

Sam DeBoer came into the world 14 weeks early, weighing just one pound two ounces. His lungs weren't fully developed, he had to be fed through a tube and he couldn't maintain his body temperature.
Sam's parents, Laura and Chris, felt helpless as they watched the neonatal ICU (NICU) team care for their tiny son. But Laura was able to give her son one thing: Breast milk. She pumped every 2-3 hours in the NICU's nearby lactation room, and Sam's nurses put the milk in his feeding tube.
After 94 days, Sam went home. Today he's a healthy 3-year-old who loves playing with toy trucks and tractors.

My poor little Helena is still suffering from her reflux and has not gained weight now since mid-Dec. She's also constantly sick (ear infections, bronchitis, croup, ...), which her docs link to the severe reflux. We're really struggling, and it feels somehow like the PE nightmare is continuing somehow, though this doesn't make sense as it isn't PE anymore, of course ... I think it's the worrying, the fearing for her that links the time before and after her birth...
Now her drs want to do a gastric fibroscopy to see if there is a structural problem causing the reflux. She will have to have a general anaestethic - I am so terribly worried! I just want to refuse the procedure, though I know this isn't rational and that many babies have to go through much worse... so I "shouldn't" be so upset. But I can't help panic.
Has anyone's baby ahd to have a gastric fibroscopy at 5 months?
Thanks for any thoughts,

Whatever A&E's previous values were, they didn't include acceptance of the Christian view of homosexuality that Mr. Robertson expressed in an interview unrelated to the network's popular program.

A newly released report questions the activist tendencies of one of Louisiana's regional appellate courts, where a number of rulings seem to ignore well-established legal statutes in an apparent attempt to manipulate the law to achieve preferred outcomes.
Louisiana's 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal, which has jurisdiction in an area that stretches across Lafayette and Lake Charles and from Cameron to Natchitoches, has the role of reviewing the legality of procedures and interpretation by lower courts. Released by the nonpartisan citizen watchdog group Louisiana Lawsuit Abuse Watch, the report unveils a series of shocking decisions where the 3rd Circuit has apparently ventured outside of this narrowly defined role by attempting to create new law through the judicial process, rather than interpret existing law and precedents.]]>

Photography; Inkjet, 2003
Each image, which is deliberately selected by the photographer, whether it is from an urban scene or a natural terrain, is divided into grids of equal size. The colors rendered in each grid are averaged and reduced into a monochrome. Alleviated of their descriptive role within representational view, the elemental properties of form and color are distilled into a new landscape that can be seen as residing unrevealed in the original photograph. The effect is a liberation of form and color from narrative, without eliminating, in total, its primary relationship to photographic representations of the external world.
These editions are printed with archival pigment inks on a matte Fine Art paper. The ink and paper combination have a display permanence rating of 150+ years.
Print Size: We never change the aspect ratio or crop the original image. Each image is sized to maximally fill the selected dimension. All of our prints have a minimum border of a 1/4 of an inch to allow for framing.
All our editions are supervised by the artist and are accompanied by a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. Our prints are made with the greatest attention to quality and a concern for permanence. (Learn more about Print Permanence in the FAQ.)

It's easy to Bring Back the Pollinators with these four simple steps:
Flowers provide the nectar and pollen resources that pollinators feed on. Growing the right flowers, shrubs, and trees with overlapping bloom times will support pollinators from spring through fall.
A home for growing pollinators is essential. You can leave patches of bare ground and brush piles or install nesting blocks, and plant caterpillar host plants.
Pesticides are harmful to pollinators, especially insecticides. Herbicides reduce food sources by removing flowers from the landscape.
Let your friends and neighbors know you're providing habitat with a pollinator habitat sign. You can also sign the Pollinator Protection Pledge!
For region specific information, visit the Pollinator Conservation Resource Center!
Pollinator Gardens
Can you make the commitment to protect pollinators? Sign the Pollinator Protection Pledge and join thousands of others who have pledged to provide habitat and protect pollinators from pesticides.

(RNN) - Pick a poll, any poll. At this late date in what looks to be a historically close presidential election, you can find one that favors either candidate.
Rasumssen, Gallup and Quinnipiac aside, there are plenty of other, less scientific methods of predicting a winner. Just for giggles, let's take a look.
If NBC News reporter Chuck Todd's crystal ball is right, the Florida State Seminoles awarded the crucial swing state of Florida to President Barack Obama by virtue of their 33-20 college football win over state rival Miami on Oct. 20. Todd tweeted before the game that since 1988, the winner has predicted which party carries the state in the presidential election. In years Miami won, the Republican took Florida (1988, 1992, 2000, 2004) and when FSU won, the Democrat carried the state (1996, 2008).
San Francisco's merciless sweep to the world championship bodes well for Obama. Since 1908, when the American League has won the World Series during election years, the Republicans hold a 10-7 edge. When the National League team has won, the Democrats are 7-2. This method has a three-election streak going - the Yankees in 2000 and the Red Sox in 2004 preceded George H.W. Bush into office, while the Phillies gave Obama the impetus in 2008.
Obama is a Bears fan, but he has a reason to pull for the Washington Redskins when the Carolina Panthers visit FedEX Field on Nov. 4 – that is, unless his immediate predecessor has reversed a decades-old trend.
Since 1936, if the Redskins won their final home game before the election, the incumbent went on to win the election. The 'Redskins Rule' worked flawlessly until 2004, when the home team lost – but George W. Bush won a second term over Democrat challenger John Kerry. Things began to get sketchy in 2000, when sitting Vice President Al Gore cheered for his home state Tennessee Titans, who beat Washington. A few days later, he lost, too - to Bush. But he won the popular vote. And Gore wasn't an incumbent president but...
Spirit Halloween, the nation's biggest seasonal Halloween retailer, has accurately predicted the outcome of every presidential election since 1996 based on the number of masks of the candidates it sold. The company reports that the president's plastic face is outselling Romney's by a comfortable 60 percent to 40 percent margin.
For those who are really into the whole political Halloween motif, you can also buy a "big head" Obama or Romney mask, which measure a massive 22" by 14"; a Michelle Obama wig; donkey or elephant ears; a Hillary Clinton mask; an Uncle Sam suit for men and a Miss Liberty dress for women, complete with torch.
A children's social studies magazine has been one of the most accurate presidential predictors for almost 70 years.
Scholastic Magazine's poll of children has been dead on in 15 of 17 elections dating back to 1940. Their only losses came in races that can be forgiven.
The kids picked Thomas E. Dewey over Harry S. Truman in 1948, the election that fooled the Chicago Tribune and produced the famous photo. In 1960, the children picked Richard Nixon over John F. Kennedy, which Kennedy won in one of the closest presidential elections in history.
This year, more than 250,000 kids from first through 12th grade gave President Obama 51 percent of the vote. Romney polled 45 percent and other candidates gathered 5 percent.
The magazine broke the votes down by state, which showed an unlikely Electoral College landslide for Obama. The incumbent took swing state victories in Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina and Florida, but also carried such unlikely Red State strongholds as South Carolina and Arizona. Romney took hotly contested Virginia in the Scholastic Poll. (See map and state-by-state breakdown here.)
Gnocchi, a squirrel from North Charleston, SC, predicts Romney will be the next president based on munching nutty treats from a bowl with the governor's face over it. He ate nine peanuts from the Romney bowl, and only five from the Obama bowl.
Serene and Chris Ash, owners of the 9-year-old squirrel, say he flipped his allegiance from previous predictions - he called Obama as the winner of the 2008 Democratic primaries and the presidential election that year using the same method.
Romney, who stands 6'2", holds about a one-inch lead over Obama in that key statistic. The taller candidate has won 19 times and lost eight since 1896. There were two ties – George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton were the same height in the 1992 clash and Woodrow Wilson and Charles E. Hughes stood eye-to-eye in 1916.
In 2000, the 6'1" Al Gore won the popular vote, but lost the Electoral College vote to 6' tall George W. Bush in a disputed election.

Quick and Easy Halloween Treats
Create scary-good Halloween treats in minutes by using prepared products.
Mini Cupcake Pumpkin
Arrange 2 dozen store-bought mini cupcakes in the shape of a pumpkin, using 2 for the stem. Frost the body of the pumpkin with orange-tinted canned white frosting, leaving the eyes, nose and mouth unfrosted. Use green-tinted canned frosting for the stem. Add shimmering sprinkles to the stem, eyes, nose and mouth.
Pumpkin Patch House
Give the traditional Christmas gingerbread house a Halloween spin by crafting a pumpkin patch house! You'll need ready-made chocolate-covered peanut butter wafer bars and chocolate graham crackers for the house, assorted candies for decorations, and lots of canned chocolate frosting to hold it all together.
Scary Spiders
Place one chocolate-covered marshmallow sandwich cookie upside down. Top with black decorating icing. Cut 2 black licorice twists in half lengthwise and then in half crosswise to make 8 thin legs. Press one end of each leg into the black icing. Top with a second cookie. Affix 2 jellybean eyes with black icing.
Wizard Hats
Place 6 (2-oz.) squares melting chocolate in a 2-cup glass measure. Microwave on high 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Dip sugar cones in the melted chocolate, tilting the measuring glass to coat. Place, pointy end up, on top of large chocolate-covered marshmallow moon pies. Pipe icing around the area where the cone and moon pies meet. Press nonpareils and other candies into icing to create a hatband.
Baby Ghosts
Microwave 12 ounces of white chocolate in a microwave-save bowl on high 60 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds, until smooth. For each ghost, dip three-quarters of a peanut-shaped peanut butter cookie in the melted chocolate. Top with 2 mini chocolate chips for eyes. Place prepared ghosts on wax paper and refrigerate to set.
Gingerbread Mummies
For these yummy Gingerbread Mummies, arrange gingerbread men on wax paper and place 2 semi-sweet chocolate chips where eyes should be. With a large leaf piping tip, pipe ribbons of white decorating icing back and forth over the cookie, completely covering it to resemble gauze, but letting the chocolate chip eyes peek out.
Witches' Hats
Bring out your inner witch to make these two-cute cookies that kids are sure to love. Bonus? They're super easy.
Chocolate-Dipped Spoons
Stir a little sweetness into mugs of steaming drinks like cocoa or coffee.

"Not all good guys finish last..."
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -- I can't remember the last time I saw Shawn Burr or even the last time I spoke to him, but that's not important right now. What is important is that I will never forget the way he made me feel every time I saw him.Maybe you knew the former Wings forward personally, or maybe you just felt like you did. That was the greatest gift of this jovial, kid at heart called "Bursie". He made everyone feel like they were his best friend. Always cracking jokes, he was one of the most self-deprecating and enchanting people I've ever covered, let alone met.His unforgettable voice still rings in my head at this very moment. "Hey Hammer," he would call, and then add some ridiculous, smart ass comment that would leave me searching for a retort. Of course, I could never compete with his wisecracking nature, nor his ability to laugh at his own jokes or personal circumstance, even in the face of cancer.My fondest memory will forever be the time I spent several early mornings at the Burr home as he cooked breakfast for his kids and shuttled them to school several years ago. I can't even remember what the crux of the story was, other than a former athlete who was still enjoying life as he transitioned to the real world, but that time with him was priceless, and even more cherished as his family, friends and fans mourn a man who was so much more than a hockey player. He was a genuine good guy, and I will miss seeing his smiling face.
Burr suffered head trauma following a fall at his home over the weekend. He spent 16 seasons in the NHL, including eleven in Detroit, and was diagnosed with myeloid leukemia in 2007. He was 47.

The Program Administrator Program develops exceptional leaders. Designed primarily for part-time students who are working adults, this program attracts aspiring administrators who are passionate about making a difference―who see themselves as leaders of other professionals in pursuit of excellence for students, staff, and school districts.
Cohort-based courses integrate law and resources leadership with a practicum in one year, followed by an internship with an ongoing seminar designed to bridge theory and practice. As part of our commitment to social justice, students work with diverse populations and conduct service learning projects in schools.The needs of working professionals are basic to the design and delivery of the program. Students may accelerate coursework or balance it over a longer period to fit individual schedules. Courses are offered in the late afternoons and evenings on weekdays during the academic year and in both the day and evenings during the summer. Our curriculum meets the Interstate School Leadership Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards, supporting the school district level reform efforts in which schools are engaged.
Educational Administration program graduates who are certified as Program Administrators will be eligible to participate in the Program for New Principals. This program supports new administrators through mentoring, coaching, and ongoing professional development.

Of the 40 million foreign-born people living in the United States in 2011, about 22 million were not citizens. About half of those noncitizens were authorized to be in the United States either temporarily or permanently; the remainder, about 11.5 million people, were in the country without authorization, a number that has changed little over the past few years. Noncitizens tend to differ from both foreign- and native-born citizens in several ways, especially in terms of their skills and employment status, which can have important effects on government revenues and spending. CBO analyzes trends in immigration and policy proposals that would affect immigration.

EVE Dev Unveils Console MMO-FPS 'DUST 514'The universe of EVE Online will spread to consoles in an MMO-FPS hybrid named DUST 514, developer CCP announced today at the Game Developers Conference Europe.
DUST 514 will take place on the surface of planets from EVE with a blend of FPS and RTS gameplay, "Giving commanders and ground infantry real-time configurable weapons and modular vehicles to manage dynamic battlefield conditions."
Teased in 2008, DUST has been in development at CCP Shanghai for three years and is headed to "The current generation of consoles"--read "Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3."
CCP says DUST 514 "Will interact directly with EVE Online," and "gives [console players] a chance to become part of one of the most massive cooperative play and social experiences ever," though gives no details on quite how the two will interact.
One possible connection is EVE Online's future 'Ambulation Project' update, which will grant players avatar form to roam space stations, visit space bars and space gamble.

Amazing Grass - Amazing Side Effect

Posted by Reviewer1885170 on Sep 12, 2009
Purchased at iHerb
I started taking this produt over a year ago for general health reasons. At the time my allergies were so bad I had to go the emergency room at a local hospital. After taking this produce for months my allergies started clearing up. Now I am symptom free 100%. I recently traveled to Europe and did not take this product with me. Symtoms returned almost immediatly confirming this product is the cure for me. My allergy tests showed me allergic to yard grass, some trees, and other pollens etc. I do not know how it works or if it will work for others with similar allergies. I just know it works for me and I recommend this product for general health even if you do not have allergies.

this stuff is great. I have energy all day. i'm a quadriplegic and I have lost 35lbs using this and going on a gluten free diet. it is better with chocolate soy milk, but use that or regular soy to get your protein. it allows the fat to burn not the muscle!
Definitely worth buying!

Green blend is the easiest way and the fastest way to take a large quantity of green vegetables daily. Green blend is an great addition to our health as it gives a general overall boost to all aspects of our products such boosting immune system, regulates blood pres sure, cholesterol, balancing pH value and many others! I have tried most of the different blends by Amazing Gras s. What I like about their products is that most of it tastes very good and are very easy for beginners to start with. The price is reasonable for the bulk prices. This product contains mostly organic ingredients. The product does not use soy lecithin (cheap fillers) though they are guilty of using other cheap fillers like flax seed, apple pectin. Luckily, these are about 10% by weight only. Not that these fillers are bad, they are just les s value for money. It is best to take in morning for best absorption or when hungry (avoid unneces sary carbohydrates while loading on nutrients).For the taste, it tastes just lightly favoured chocolate. You can use les s water if you like more concentrated chocolate favour. It also tastes good when eat straight! This product is very versatile and can be easily mix with many other powder. You can mix with lecithin (for its creamy taste), maca or other protein powder (for the sweet taste) or even Sunwarrior Ormus Supergreens (for its peppermint favour). Buy the bigger bulk to save more! I think the only downside is that the container neck is a bit small and it gets hard to scoop when the powder run low. Since only 40% by weight are green food, you might want to take more scoops or have an additional green blend in order to achieve the daily servings of vegetables needed. Check out my page for more reviews!

I got this for my dad who's been complaining that he feels tired a lot of the time despite eating well and exercising regularly. He doesn't mind the taste. And it gives him a slight energy boost, so he doesn't feel tired till the evening. But he wants to continue buying it because he says he's been sleeping really well at night since he started drinking this. I've tried it, and it's definitely very grassy, covered up with cocoa, and a bit gritty, but it's not as bad regular green superfood drinks which I can't usually drink without gagging a little - the chocolate helps and it tastes okay overall. Whenever I've had it in the morning, I've stayed full after breakfast for longer, skipped my morning coffee and haven't hit my afternoon slump in energy, so there must be something to this!

Rambling is just fine! Sorry you're feeling frustrated.
Rambling is just fine! Sorry you're feeling frustrated.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
He got home around 9:30. He was on call so he kept getting more jobs (he's a Comcast technician)
Josh fell out of bed shortly before DH got home. I've been running the humidifier for him over the last couple days and Josh is obsessed with the light on it and the vapor coming out. He like hangs over the edge of the bed, watching it, and I guess he fell asleep that way.
I was reading my creepy stories website at the time and got the crap scared out of me a little. LOL
I hope Josh is okay!
Chrissy - you're going to have to tell me who is doing your work. I'm planning on having my girls lifted after I'm done breastfeeding #2. I don't need to add any size...just want them perky again.
I am so envious of you ladies who have children who just fall asleep in some strange position. I wonder how long I'd need to let Annie run around for that she'd just fall down asleep? lol
I am dreading, dreading, dreading standing in line at the post office tomorrow, pregnant with toddler in tow so that we can mail in our taxes, and our extension request....I'm beyond angry that our taxes weren't done 1. on time 2. that we have to file an extension, when we have an accountant. This is the second year in a row, with a different accountant that things aren't being done correctly and in a timely fashion. I'm doing our taxes next year, no matter how complicated they may be. (which is why we've been having an accountant do them)
Just Midge
I love the new siggy pic Lydia, you look fantastic!
I used to watch Unsolved Mysteries when I was home alone at night & get freaked out.
I didn't know anyone who had anything done cosmetically in Ithaca, and I really wanted to talk to people who had first hand experience, so I didn't even look for someone from here. And I dunno...I have the mental image of Ithaca being a hippie town (which it is in many ways) and finding a cosmetic surgeon from Ithaca just seemed like an oxymoron. I'm sure there are some-and they're good...I just didn't know anyone to ask.
Yes! I used to watch Unsolved Mysteries too!
Josh used to fall asleep in random places too. I have a picture of him somewhere holding some food, asleep. Now it takes him an hour or more to fall asleep, unless we're in the car of course.
All this boob job talk is making me want one, but I guess I'd have to get the rest of my body where I want it, and see how things looked from there. I'd probably never do it. I wanted a nose job when I was younger, but never got that done either.
If I were to ever get down to my actual ideal weight, I would need a total body lift (and I hear that is really hard and painful because so much is involved)....takes care of the thighs, rear, stomach. Also would need bb's done and arms (though that is fairly risky with all the nerves and lymph nodes involved). Skin bounces back some but NOT that much.
I would be thrilled to get back to an 18/20 size and there I didn't need surgery.
Doing good...worked out Saturday, rested muscles Sunday because they were sore. Worked out Monday and was able to do it again last night.
and my knees didn't crunch last night quite as much. My knees are in awful shape, all cruchy and probably full of arthritis. I haven't see a doctor for them but know that a replacement is in my future and just trying to hold off as long as I can.
Bad knees run in the family, plus I was VERY heavy for a time and even after I was/am still overweight. But the biggest problem is that I have fall directly on my knees numerous times....twice down steps landing on cement, once on a tile floor, a few times on carpet, once on a wood dance floor, a couple times outside in driveway/parking lots. And this was all in the past 12 years. Yes I'm a BIG klutz. I can't believe I have never broken anything....though if there one good thing about carrying extra weight is having stronger bones.
Happy full term Janeen! Yay.
Just Midge
WTG, Janeen! Not long now! I'm celebrating "half way there" now. LOL.
Holy cow, Janeen!! That went by so fast (for me). Congratulations! YAY BABY!
The coolest thing just happened! Josh was just talking about an hour ago about wanting to catch butterflies. (I'm not sure where he gets that from--we've never done that) I haven't really seen butterflies around here yet but we walked around the yard for a little bit looking for some. We didn't see any. Well we were on the porch later on and a huge butterfly whizzed past my face and landed on a chair. You should have seen the look on the kid's face. He was SO happy. It just sat there for a minute and flew away. Josh was speechless.
Janeen, HOW are you full term already? It seems like you and Lydia just got your BFPs yesterday!
Kate, I love the butterfly story!

I've been wading through the hundreds of preschools around here, and I keep finding that most of them had January 31st deadlines. Whenever I find one that's highly recommended or that I like, I still send in an application, just in case, because I've heard that there are more openings - esp. unexpected ones - because of the economy.
I confess that I can't stand a new teacher that has recently started working at Mia's daycare. She's just awful. I'm not sure what I want to do about it.
Lydia, I'm currently trying to figure out preschool, too, but for us it's not availability but quality. They're all glorified freakin' daycares here, and nothing I would care to send Oscar to, even two days a week. He'd be bored and candidly, being "home" with us is way more educational and fun. I'm trying to decide if straight into kindergarten next year (or year beyond, we're not sure when we'll start him yet) is a good or bad idea. No one I trust can tell me. I hear "oh kids that don't go to preschool don't adjust well" but that's from the freaks of the week who are anti-parent-care anyway, so I don't buy it. And the people I DO trust say "we have no idea, because parents nowadays rarely care for their own children through preschool like in the past." Eh.
Stacy, for what it's worth my opinion based on what I know of child development is that for children with good educational experiences at home, with a loving family and opportunities for social interaction with other children (as I believe you are doing with Oscar) will do fine either way. Children who are not getting their needs met in some way, socially, emotionally, or academically will be at a serious disadvantage without attending preschool but a child with everything going for him will do just fine no matter what you choose. I would listen to his cues, and if he wants to go to preschool I would respect that but if he doesn't express an opinion it's really up to you.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I know that my children don't have enough opportunity to be social with other children and have not been able to experience the group settings that are common in school, so that's one of the benefits to preschool in my case. Because my work days vary week to week, I haven't been able to sign up for any playgroups or classes. We go to museums, playgrounds, the zoo, etc. but never have a consistent group of other children to interact with. I've found that mine usually tend to be better about being polite and sharing and taking turns than many of the other children and I hope that doesn't end once they get into the real world, but they definitely need to learn how to deal with others. Or maybe it's just because they're timid and they'll lose all their manners once they get more comfortable.
I also try to do a lot informally, but haven't done too much formally with teaching them stuff. I'm thinking about following Stacy's lead and setting aside a little "school" time for them (they really like the idea of school, thanks to a Blue's Clues video about going to school).
I love the description of this place, since it seems to incorporate what I've been doing at home to some extent, and it gets really high ratings and is only a mile from my house:
At Lakeview, the children "travel" from one continent to another, learning to value other cultures and to enjoy the similarities and differences in the world community. They learn to respect themselves and others, and to care for our earth and all living things.
Our global approach is evident in our weekly free enrichment classes- dance and storytelling workshops; music and science sessions; and daily literature, art and foreign language exposure. We also cook and eat foods from around the world at our weekly International Cafe days.

Okay, so my boys are starting to out grown their little blue whale bath tub that sits on the counter.
What should I switch to next? What did you do as they got older? I'd like to bathe them together if possible in the tub with some sort of support. Right, now they don't have great head control and of course can't sit up on their own...just wondering what y'all did around the 4 month mark? Anyone use the tummy tub or the like or laundry baskets or blow up tubs, etc?

I May Not Be Perfect-- But Who Is?
Hey. My name's Melanie. At the moment I'm sixteen. I'm the stereotypical never been kissed- never been on a date awkward girl who has her own world in her head that I wish I could drive right into. I love music, and I want to become a singer. I also love writing and am working on my first book and nearly finished. Other than that, I have no idea what I want to do with my life and that kind of scares me. But have a nice day. :)Ask me anything

Could Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood's 2011 hit "Remind Me" be a rip-off? Amy Bowen says it is!
Nashville's City Paper reports that Bowen, who performed under the name Lizza Connor, says she wrote "Remind me" back in 2007 and the Brad and Carrie version is a knock-off of her song.
This is what the court documents say:
- Bowen's song "Remind Me" was copyrighted in 2008.
- Bowen played the song in public 19 times — and also played it during a workshop where songwriters Kelley Lovelace and Chris Dubois were present. Lovelace and Dubois were listed as co-writers with Paisley on "Remind Me."
- Bowen's version of "Remind Me" is "substantially similar" to the Paisley-Underwood collaboration.
Bowen's chorus:
All it takes is your kiss to remind me
All I need is your touch to remind me
Yesterday's gone
Take me to the place we started from
When love was young
Baby, remind me
The first chorus in the Paisley/Underwood song:
Been so long, bet you forget
The way I used to kiss your neck
Remind me, remind me
So on fire, so in love
Way back when we couldn't get enough
Remind me, remind me.The suit asks for proceeds in excess of $10 million from the song.
I'd like to hear Amy's song. I do think the lyrics are a little bit alike. What do you think?

Designing Experiences for Young Kids
I was recently fortunate to work on interactive storybooks for preschoolers and toddlers (ages 2–5) for the iPad and Android tablet platforms. Designing for young kids requires looking at things from a child's perspective. I learned some important lessons by observing kids and reviewing applications while working on these projects.
Kids are curious and eager to explore. They tend to touch everything they see on the screen and notice things adults sometimes miss. For example, they don't experience banner blindness; for them, a banner is an exciting opportunity to learn what will happen if they touch the screen. Most interaction problems for young users occur when they are forced to navigate away from what they want to do because they unintentionally trigger an action they did not intend to. Banner ads, a swipe gesture, or even a simple menu button are sometimes causes for aggravation for the young user and the observing parent.
Kids explore an interface by touching almost aimlessly on the screen, trying to discover as much as they can. A banner ad or a Facebook "like" button may work for some applications, but when designing for kids we must realize that banners link to pages toddlers cannot return from, and pressing "like" takes them out of the app and into to a browser with the Facebook page.
A Childproof Navigational Interface
A similar usability problem happens when a young user inadvertently touches a menu button. For UX designers and developers, making it easy to access menu controls at any point in the app is a normal part of making easy-to-navigate interfaces; for inquisitive kids, however, a menu button visible on all screens can sometimes be a source for frustration.
When designing for toddlers and preschoolers I recommend creating a "childproof" navigation interface to prevent children accidentally brushing or touching the menu while using the application. The idea is simple: design menu access for the parent only. Just like a childproof safety cap for a medicine bottle or other devices made safe for young children, we create a menu system that is childproof.
For example, a childproof app might require that a menu button be tapped once to change its color, and then tapped again after a short interval to activate the menu. This short delay gives the child an opportunity to divert attention to something else on the screen. If the child presses once without any rewarding feedback, he is not likely to press again. Another example is a banner type graphic that you must "pull" (swipe down) in order to see a menu, or even basic linear navigation flow without a menu to allow a focus on the tasks at hand with no unwanted interruptions.
Here are a few interesting examples of apps designed with kids in mind:
Heydooda! The kitty says: Hello animal kids
Tapping the home button in the lower left side will slide the button to the upper left side.
Bartleby's Book of Buttons Vol. 2
Dragging the red banner down activates the menu.
Dragging the red arrow down displays menu options.
Basic linear navigation with no menu access
Gestures for Young Kids
Sometimes a swipe gesture is used to flip the page in interactive storybooks, but for young children trying to interact with the story, flipping the page may not be what they're trying to do. For an inquisitive child, a swipe is sometimes a clumsy press or an attempt to move things around the screen; "next" and "back" buttons to change a page would be more effective in this case especially when combining other interactive elements on the page. Generally, I recommend avoiding any sensitive triggers when designing for young kids.
A Present for Milo app is a good example of a confusing experience for children using the swipe for navigation. Although it's a fun book to read, tapping the interactive elements on the screen sometimes flips the page unintentionally and distract from the story.
Tapping the interactive elements on the screen unintentionally flips the page
Consider the Device
Accelerometers and young kids don't go together. The tablet is an expensive device, so invoking accelerometer triggers as means to create interaction for kids should be avoided, as children don't have a strong grip and tend to drop things. Shaking the device to erase a drawing or tilting a device up to play a game could be a cause for disaster.
Using the accelerometer could be dangerous.
Kids love playing together, so applications for kids should allow multi-touch for a more enjoyable experience. For example, a drawing app should allow painting with multiple fingers to allow two kids to draw at the same time. Allowing multi-touch will also make the interface more forgiving when a child is holding the device. If the child is touching the corner of the screen with one finger and tapping with another, he would be frustrated when nothing happens because the application only allows for one-finger touch. Luke Wroblewski writes about this in his article Touch-based App Design for Toddlers.
Toca Boca Birthday Party Playtime
Toca Boca Birthday Party Playtime allows two participants to play at the same time.
Luke also writes about how interface elements sometimes intrude on the experience for young kids, replacing large, colorful buttons and appealing intuitive controls with a generic design that children cannot relate to. Here is an example:
Toy Story Read-Along presents kids with options they don't understand.
Hush Little Baby - a setup menu kids cannot use
The iPad's five-finger pinch-to-terminate gesture, or the four-finger swipe are definitely causes of frustration for young users. Additionally, the iPad Home button and the Android Menu Bar are not childproof, as they are always visible and invite a curious touch. Apps for kids should allow a quick return to the application in case these buttons are pressed. For easy recovery, avoid displaying a logo splash screen and menu each time the application starts.
Add new comment
What do you think of designing a content navigation bar on the right hand side and leaving it on the page at all times for older elementary aged children (7 to 12). This way kids will be able to explore the app and immediately know what is available for them to do with the content they are reading.
Is there a right side on IOS to put a content nav bar?
This is a good article but I would love to know more. What will actually work great with kids aged 2-6 years? What kind of Menu? What kind of navigation? What kind of buttons? What kind of settings?
My 2 year old just loves to touch everything on a screen, exactly what you mentioned. I have tried to design for her and the most effective things that works is that there is something bright, flashing moving in the direction of the screen where I want her to touch to help her navigate. For example, if i want her to touch the NEXT button. But most of the time, the most difficult part is to judge when to navigate! :)
The premise of childproof in your application is really about eliminating any friction and frustrations from end users (young kids, age 2-6). You design menu and setup options accessible for the parents only as a illustrate in the article.
I think a linear next and back buttons is probably the best controls for navigation with the added childproofed access for the menu or setup.
hi Avi,
very nice. good practical recomendation.
2 questions:
- in your research, did you find a setup menu that kids that age need to use? if so, did you find a good design of such?
- what is your final recomendation for the interactivity rules of interactive books? how should the kids navigate through the story, and how the parents could go to the child-proof menu and setup?
These are good points and I too have experienced this with raising my kids and teaching them to use touch apps. But what about children that don't yet read? You mentioned it briefly by use of colorful and intuitive controls, but I wonder if there's any sort or best practice? Like when you have a "confirm" or "cancel" and the most used is "confirm" you would add prominence to that element by making it a button and making the cancel a link.

Practitioner's Corner—About High Blood Pressure
By Steele Belok, m.d.
The most common chronic disease in America is a stealthy one. Hypertension rarely announces itself with troublesome symptoms, but people who have it are at risk for many other health problems, including cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death. Despite this grim picture, high blood pressure is often preventable.
As for treatment, I've found that hypertension responds particularly well to Ayurvedic (a.k.a. Vedic) medicine. This 5,000-year-old healing system works by balancing three organizing principles, or doshas, in the body: vata (movement), pitta (energy and metabolism), and kapha (structure). According to Vedic medicine, imbalances in any of the three doshas can lead to hypertension, so treatment would depend on which ones are out of balance.
I've practiced Vedic medicine for 15 years and can detect imbalances among the doshas by feeling a patient's pulse and taking a history of lifestyle and symptoms. Most of the therapies I use draw on a combination of transcendental meditation ™, diet, herbs, massage, and behavioral changes. Here are some questions my patients with high blood pressure commonly ask.
Q: My latest blood pressure reading was high. Can I bring it down by changing my diet?
A: Yes, but dietary approaches to controlling hypertension should be tailored to your individual balance of doshas, so it's difficult to make a blanket statement about what constitutes the ideal diet. Most hypertensives have imbalances in vata, pitta, or both. A diet to calm the vata would include lots of sweet and sour foods, while one aimed at balancing the pitta would steer clear of spicy and oily food. I also recommend that anyone with hypertension eat mostly warm, freshly cooked foods, such as leafy greens and legume-based dishes like dal, and eat as few salty, fried, or heavy foods—like cheese and meat, for example—as possible.
Q: I know that reducing stress is crucial to controlling my blood pressure. What's the best stress-busting technique?
A: Transcendental meditation is a terrific way to promote relaxation. It doesn't require a specific diet and while the training can be costly, once you've learned the technique, it's free. The benefits come by way of physiological effects such as slowing the respiratory rate and reducing production of the stress hormone cortisol. Calming these aspects of the stress response helps blood vessels relax and widen, which reduces pressure.
One study found that a group of African-Americans who practiced TM lowered their blood pressure by twice as much as a comparison group who used a progressive muscle relaxation technique. In fact, the TM group's blood pressure dropped by the same amount one would expect to see if they had just begun taking medication. Eight years later, their mortality from cardiovascular disease was 67 percent lower than that of the other relaxation group, and 75 percent lower than that of a control group that received no relaxation training at a...

Under ARRA, the $1.1 billion set aside for CER is being split three ways:
- $300 million for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
- $400 million for NIH
- $400 million for other HHS agencies
The NCI challenge grants for CER should be announced in the coming months, according to Dr. Brown. As a requirement of the ARRA bill, the IOM was asked to develop a report with recommendations on the priority areas that HHS should address with its CER funding. The IOM report is due by June 30.
