Pre-Ordering iPhone 5 Proves Vexing for Some
While some who stayed up late to order the iPhone 5 did so in just a few minutes, others reported delays both via Apple's online store and carrier Web sites.
Pre-orders were set to start just after midnight Pacific Time, following Apple's announcement of the new phone on Wednesday. The phone is set to hit retail stores on Sept. 21.
Some of the most consistent reports of success came from those using the iPhone App on the iPhone itself. (Personally, I was able to order doing this, after failing to navigate the order process via either the AT&T or Apple Web sites.)
Others, such as tech writer Danny Sullivan, claimed they received a message via the Apple online store saying that the company was having trouble connecting to carrier servers to process orders. Instead, Apple would reserve a phone for those who logged in to their Apple accounts, and email those users later when the company was able to reconnect with carrier servers.
Verizon Wireless — the only carrier that seemed to stand up reasonably well to the rush of preorders — took the time to capitalize on some of the site problems that its competitors were having. As irate AT&T and Sprint customers swore to jump ship out of frustration, Verizon's customer support Twitter account welcomed the angry users with open arms:
"Come on over, glad to have you!" one Verizon tweet read.
A bummer for eager Apple fans? Perhaps. But it's not worth losing any more sleep over it.

'Cold criminal' arrested again
Bruce Hodgson charged with trespassing
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A homeless man who has shown a pattern of going to jail when it's cold outside was arrested again this week.
READ: "Cold Criminal" timeline
Pompano Beach police arrested Bruce Hodgson, 38, Tuesday. He was charged with failure to leave property upon order by owner.
"Bruce, trespassing again at Home Depot?" said Broward Circuit Court Judge John Hurley. "It seems apparent that you like being in jail more than you would like being in a homeless shelter. Now, I can't figure that out."
WATCH: Hodgson's March 13 appearance in bond court
Hodgson was arrested last week for trespassing at the same Home Depot in Pompano Beach.
According to a police report, on Tuesday, Hodgson went to that same store and said he was going to beat everyone with a baseball bat.
"For the life of me, I don't know why you behave this way," said Hurley. "People are trying to help you and you keep doing this, and I know you wanted to come into jail because it was cold, but we got you in the homeless shelter. It's warm at the homeless shelter and you walked out of there. I don't get you."
Hurley set bond for Hodgson at $500.
The Broward Sheriff's Office said Hodgson has been arrested 17 times over the last three years. Police arrested him nine times between November and March. The average low temperature on the days of those nine arrests was 52 degrees.
Temperatures are expected to reach lows in the mid-50s late Wednesday and early Thursday.
Hurley said Hodgson has been arrested 29 times, including Tuesday's arrest, in the last six and a half years.
Hurley ordered Hodgson to spend 30 days in the Broward Outreach Center and abstain from alcohol upon his release last week.
However, Hodgson never went to the homeless shelter. He instead walked away after a BSO deputy dropped him off.
Two appeared cordial when Hodgson first appeared in bond court on March 5.
It costs $116 a day to house an inmate in the Broward County Jail.
Experts on homelessness meet over arrests, education
County experts on homelessness met Tuesday to discuss how about 150 opt for handcuffs whenever they want a meal, shower, or warm bed instead of the numerous free resources available to them.
The Broward Sheriff's Office said it's working to repurpose a vacant stockade into a resource center where deputies can bring homeless people instead of taking them to jail.
Weinstein said a special homeless people court may be needed to handle minor offenses.
"If we can direct them toward some places where they can get some assistance, it'll be much better than putting people in the county jail," Broward County Circuit Judge Peter Weinstein said.

Let $f:[0,1] \to \mathbb{R}$ be Lebesgue measurable with $f > 0$ a.e. Suppose that $\{E_n\}$ is a sequence of measurable sets in $[0,1]$ with the property that $\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty}\int_{E_n} f \,dm = 0$. Prove that $\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} m(E_n) = 0$.
This question is from an old analysis qual I am studying. So far I have tried a proof by contradiction: if $\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} m(E_n) \neq 0$, then there is an $\epsilon > 0$ and a subsequence $\{n_k\}$ so that $m(E_{n_k}) \ge \epsilon$ for all $k$. I am trying to somehow use this subsequence and show $\displaystyle \lim_{k \to \infty}\int_{E_{n_k}} f \,dm \neq 0$, which would give me a contradiction.
Another fact I know from my measure theory course is that, for meausurable $E \subseteq [0,1]$, the map $\displaystyle \nu(E) = \int_E f \,dm$ defines a measure on the Lebesgue measurable subsets of $[0,1]$. Will this fact be useful to me?

RNAlater TissueProtect Tubes
수집된 tissue샘플의 유전자 발현 양상을 즉시 안정화 시킬때 또는 이후 이동 및 보관에 사용할 수 있습니다
RNAlater TissueProtect Tubes are screw-top tubes that contain RNAlater RNA Stabilization Reagent, which immediately stabilizes RNA in tissue samples to preserve the gene expression profile. Stabilization takes place a room temperature, eliminating the need for dry ice or liquid nitrogen.
Buy Products
RNAlater TissueProtect Tubes are intended for molecular biology applications. These products are not intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease.
QIAGEN's former RNA Stabilization Reagent, was manufactured and offered under license from Ambion, Inc., the owner of the RNAlater® trade mark. Following the expiration of that license and corresponding patents, QIAGEN's new product name for the identical formulation is RNAprotect TissueTubes.
Product Details
RNAlater Stabilization Reagent stabilizes and protects the RNA expression pattern of samples during harvest and storage (see figure "RNAlater Reagent prevents degradation of mRNA in tissues"). Immediate protection with RNAlater technology ensures that downstream analyses truly reflect the expression profile of the intact tissues (see figure "RNAlater TissueProtect Tubes prevent RNA changes in tissues"). Samples can be archived without risk of RNA degradation, even after multiple freeze–thaw cycles. RNeasy purified RNA from RNAlater stabilized samples stored under a wide variety of conditions is ideal for downstream processes such as northern blotting and RT-PCR (see figure "Stable RNA in tissues: different temperatures and freeze–thaw cycles").
Once a biological sample is harvested, its RNA becomes extremely unstable. The innovative, aqueous RNAlater RNA Stabilization Reagent quickly permeates tissues resulting in immediate stabilization of the RNA and preservation of the RNA expression pattern. Gene induction or down-regulation triggered by sample manipulation is also prevented, allowing accurate analysis of gene expression.
For RNA protection and sample storage, tissue samples are submerged in an appropriate volume of RNAlater RNA Stabilization Reagent immediately after harvesting. RNAlater TissueProtect Tubes provide premeasured volumes of RNAlater RNA Stabilization Reagent in reclosable tubes for convenient handling and sample storage. The reagent preserves RNA for up to 1 day at 37°C, 7 days at 18–25°C, or 4 weeks at 2–8°C, allowing processing, transportation, storage, and shipping of samples without liquid nitrogen or dry ice. Alternatively, the samples can also be placed at –20°C or –80°C for archival storage.
Animal and human tissues stabilized in RNAlater RNA Stabilization Reagent can be efficiently disrupted using QIAGEN instruments for sample disruption, and used with QIAGEN kits for:

Hurricane Karl grew with surprising speed into a powerful Category 3 storm Friday, prompting closure of Gulf of Mexico oil facilities, and forecasters said the storm could strengthen further before hitting near the country's largest power plant.
Karl's maximum sustained winds already were near 120 mph (195 kph) Friday morning, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.
State-owned Petroleos Mexicanos closed 14 production wells in the northern part of Veracruz state and evacuated workers from some oil platforms, the company said in a statement late Thursday.
Weather Connection
Connecting you with your forecast and all the things that make North Texas weather unique.
The storm's track would carry it close to the Mexico's largest power plant -- and only nuclear generator -- at Laguna Verde. It would then roar into the mountainous, flood-prone region where a storm killed more than 300 people in 1999, most in landslides.
The Mexican government issued a hurricane warning for a 186-mile (300-kilometer) stretch of coast in Veracruz state, stretching northward from the city of the same name. On its predicted path, Karl could make landfall between the port of Veracruz and the oil hub of Poza Rica.
Poza Rica, while slightly inland, houses important pipelines and natural gas- and oil-processing plants.
Authorities in Veracruz state -- whose southern half has suffered severe flooding over the past few weeks -- braced for a hit, preparing sleeping mats, bottled water and other supplies for anyone taking refuge in shelters. Workers in Veracruz city cut dangerous tree limbs that could become flying debris.
About 80,000 people have had their homes damaged and nine people have been killed in flooding from heavy rains in southern Veracruz since Aug. 19. Officials expressed concern Karl could raise river levels again, just as some residents are thinking of returning to their homes.
In the beach town of Tecolutla, just south of Poza Rica, fishermen and operators of small tour boats began pulling their craft out of the water.
Some people boarded up windows with sheets of plywood, lashed down cooking gas tanks and reinforced doors and signs to prevent them from being blow away by the hurricane's wind, said Tecolutla's civil defense director, Edilberto Peralta.
"We are getting ready and warning people early, to avoid any loss of human life," said Peralta, whose town of about 25,000 people was lashed by Hurricane Dean in 2007 and severely flooded by a tropical depression in 1999. "We are ready to take drastic measures."
He said officials were considering whether any residents needed to evacuate their homes.
The port of Tuxpan was closed to small craft Thursday, and Port Capt. Gaspar Cime said larger vessels would be banned later in the day. Tuxpan has about 135,000 people.
By Friday, Karl was centered about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northeast of Veracruz. It slowed slightly on its westward path, moving at 9 mph (15 kph).
Meanwhile, Hurricane Igor's top winds weakened Friday to 120 mph (195 kph) on a track that could take it over Bermuda by Monday. The government of Bermuda issued a hurricane watch.
Farther east over the Atlantic, Hurricane Julia strengthened slightly early Friday, though remained a Category 1 storm with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph (140 kph).
Karl could cause storm surges of 6 to 9 feet (2 to 3 meters) and "large and destructive waves," as well as dump up to 15 inches (40 centimeters) of rain in some areas of Veracruz state, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in a statement.
As a tropical storm, Karl hit Yucatan on Wednesday, downing tree limbs and causing power outages. The storm made landfall on the Mexican Caribbean coast about midway between the cruise ship port of Majahual and the coastal town of Xcalak.
Associated Press Writer Mark Stevenson in Mexico City contributed to this report.

Over 70 percent of the world's population consists of people who are oral learners — people who cannot or do not read. Most of the world's unreached and unengaged people groups are preliterate. They are primarily oral learners who cannot read or write the language that they speak — often because their language has not yet been reduced to writing. Their lives are lived out in an oral fashion. They learn about events in their world, form their opinions, share knowledge, and entertain one another using only the spoken word.
The implications of this reality are obvious when one considers that Christianity has traveled on literate feet since the invention of the printing press. Over 90 percent of the resources for evangelism and discipleship were developed for highly literate people. Our discipleship methods not only use written resources, but present these written resources using Western forms of logic and teaching.
Are these strategies wrong? How should we respond to those who sit in darkness without interest in or the ability to read any written word, including the Word of God? What inextricable role, if any, does the written form of God's Word hold in our efforts to be obedient to his call to make disciples?
These questions ring philosophical when in the form of a blog post. And yet for those serving outside the bounds of Western literacy rates and learning models, the answers to these questions are central to the missionary's ability to faithfully proclaim the good news of Jesus. The context may differ from culture to culture, but a few key points must be kept in mind in order to process how to engage oral learners.
We Represent the Minority
First, I find it helpful to remember that we represent the minority as it pertains to methods of communication and learning. This minority is not just one of educational blessing, but one of a gift from God. He chose to give the world his Word in written form. And this has most certainly benefitted the Western power centers of Europe and the United States, in addition to other cultures in history. We are in the minority, but it is a blessed minority, and to whom much is given, much is expected.
Literacy Is Not a Requirement
Second, we must remember that the world's oral learners are not less intelligent or capable. In fact, individuals in oral cultures are often marked by tremendous memorization abilities. Sadly, we have not understood the world's oral majority or clearly communicated the truth to oral learners.
A few years ago I was teaching a group of churches in South America when a lady asked me whether she could go to heaven when she died since she could not read. The confusion arose from former missionaries' stress on literacy in discipleship. They had been taught that despite repentance and faith in Christ, they could not be baptized and join the church until they learned to read. They assumed this was God's requirement. Literacy is important and, I believe, it is an important goal for all believers — but of course it is not a factor in salvation.
Learn How to Communicate
Our faithfulness to the Great Commission calls us to learn new ways of communicating the Word that are intelligle to those who sit in darkness. We must love the world's least reached peoples enough to share the gospel with them in ways they can understand. It's then when pagans will be won, believers will be discipled, pastors will be equipped, and the church will expand for the glory of Jesus Christ.
David Sills is Associate Dean for Christian Missions and professor of Christian Missions and Cultural Anthropology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

The Colorado Division of Wildlife euthanized a mountain lion Thursday morning that killed five sheep off of County Road G.
The mountain lion got into an enclosed building Wednesday morning then killed the sheep. She was starting to eat one of the sheep before being scared off.
Jay Spinney, who lives close to McElmo Canyon, said the lion was a big animal and powerful enough to carry an 80-pound sheep.
After being notified of the situation, the Colorado Division of Wildlife came and set a trap for the animal, anticipating that it would return to the area where it had buried the remains of one of the sheep.
According to Joe Lewandowski, spokesman for the CDOW, a dead sheep was used as bait. CDOW officials caught the animal with the trap on Thursday, then euthanized it.
Spinney said he was surprised when he saw the mountain lion devouring one of his sheep and noticed there were another four sheep that had already been killed by the animal.
Spinney also said he was surprised his dogs remained silent as the lion attacked his sheep.
I cannot believe my dogs did not go ape, he said.
He said that he rushed into his house to get a gun with the intent to shoot the cat, but when he returned the lion was gone.
He was a lucky cat today, Spinney said on Wednesday.
Lewandowski said the mountain lion was an older 100-pound female. He said that when a predator kills livestock, the regulation required that the animal will be euthanized. He said it was very likely that the animal would go after other livestock or perhaps pets if allowed to remain in the wild.
Lions will go back to their kill, he said. They go back to their prey. Mountain lions are being mountain lions.
This was not Spinneys first time seeing a mountain lion, but it was the first time he was adversely affected by one.
Spinney said he has seen several mountain lions in the area this year.
Lewandowski said mountain lions are not uncommon in the McElmo Canyon area, partly because of the number of deer in the location which provides them with a good food source.
He said there are things that can be done to protect livestock and pets from mountain lions.
He said pets and cattle should either be brought inside or, if possible, put into an enclosure because a mountain lion can easily scale a tall fence.
They can take a five-to six-foot fence without any trouble, he said. Make sure they are protected. A little flimsy fence is not going to work.

Sean is super generous with his beach house and this weekend it was loaded with football celebs who got an impromptu game of "7 on 7" touch football going on the beach that got a lot of buzz and onlookers.
"It got so competitive to where the whole beach was watching,'' Payton told SportsNOLA.com Saturday. "A highlight for me was my son Connor caught a touchdown pass from Romo. No, he didn't spike it; he knows better.''
Fun. 'Course this leads to more speculation that Payton has such close ties to the Cowboys. In March, he moved to Vaquero. Payton was the Cowboys assistant coach in Dallas from 2003 through 2005, and has only has two years remaining on his contract in New Orleans. Watch for more Dallas Cowboys to be buying beach homes on the Florida Gulf Coast. Tony and Candice, check out Alys Beach!

Hi guys!
I've decided to start a new blog. It is book themed. I haven't got the whole format figured out yet, but so far I've decide to do 30 short stories in 30 days. They probably won't be consecutive days because 1) I am trying to do NaNoWriMo this month and 2) I have a terrible Internet connection. I'm sure I will have reviews and rants and I'm hoping to have a little more interaction with readers, so I'll be posting questions for discussion at the end of each post. We'll see if it works.
Anyway, if you are interested I've got the link here. It's called The Indomitable Reader. Apparently I like titles that start with the letter "I"!
Hope to see you there!
PS — Rachel is doing great.
PPS — Still waiting on that visa.

An East St. Louis councilwoman and her boyfriend were charged for beating an elderly employee at Best Buy this week.
Councilwoman LaToya Greenwood – City of East St. Louis
Advertisement - story continues below
KMOX reported:
It's considered normal procedure by most to be asked for your receipt while leaving a busy store like Best Buy with expensive items. But Latoya Greenwood, 38, didn't take kindly to the request.
Police say she began shouting obscenities at the 61-year-old Fairview Heights Best Buy employee at the exit door. Her husband got into the act and smacked the man across the face, sending him down to the ground while his wife didn't flinch and kept the curse words flying.
The husband, 39-year-old Hickey Thompson, is charged with felony aggravated battery and is held on $20,000 bond. Greenwood is charged with disorderly conduct.
The Belleville News Democrat has more on the cheery couple:
TRENDING: BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: As Soon As Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos Testified that Joseph Mifsud Worked For the Clinton Foundation, She Was Brutally Targeted and Harassed By the Left
A former metro-east football star was charged with aggravated battery, a class 3 felony, Thursday by the St. Clair County State's Attorney's Office following an incident at Best Buy in Fairview Heights.
According to police, Hickey D. Thompson, who earned a mention in Sports Illustrated as the star of Althoff Catholic High School's football teams that won back-to-back state championships in 1989 and 1990, allegedly hit a Best Buy employee in the face during an altercation at about 12:45 p.m. Wednesday. The employee was identified in court records as Gary Thompson.
Hickey Thompson's companion, Latoya N. Greenwood, an East St. Louis councilwoman, was issued a ticket for disorderly conduct, a class C misdemeanor. Greenwood works at East St. Louis School District 189.

Concord coach Glen Padgett would not venture to say his team holds any animosity over last year�s 55-21 loss to Havelock in the 3A state championship game in Winston-Salem.
RALEIGH � Concord coach Glen Padgett would not venture to say his team holds any animosity over last year�s 55-21 loss to Havelock in the 3A state championship game in Winston-Salem.
The Spiders lost 16 starters from that team, including 6-foot-7 quarterback B.J. Beecher.
Instead, they are embracing the challenge of playing Havelock, winners of the last two championship games.
�I will put it this way � we are playing in a 3A state championship game against a prolific opponent who has won the last two state championships, and hasn�t lost but one game in three years,� Padgett said. �If that doesn�t get you ready to play, nothing will.
�They are excited to be here and play a great program.�
Concord (15-0) returns just six starters from last year�s squad, yet it is having an even better season.
The Spiders will look to avenge last year�s defeat with a rematch against the Rams at 11 a.m. on Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh.
�We are excited about the opportunity, and the challenge, of playing a good Havelock team again in a state championship,� Padgett said. �Havelock is kind of a bench-mark for a great many people in the state. They�ve lost one game in three years, and they�ve dominated their opponents.
�We are going to have to play great football.�
Quarterback Keenan Black has picked up the offense nicely. The 6-foot-3 sophomore has passed for 1,391 yards with 20 touchdowns to just four interceptions.
Black completed four touchdown passes in Concord�s 35-14 victory over Gastonia Forestview in last week�s western regional championship game.
With a new signal-caller under center, the Spiders have had to change some personnel on offense.
�In the high school ranks, it�s different than college in terms of, in college, you can recruit to your philosophy. In high school, as a coach, you have to build your philosophy around the talent of the players you have,� Padgett said. �We are more of a run-dominant team. We�ve run the ball a good bit, but we�ve passed the ball for 1,400 yards.
�Our kids have bought into what we are doing on both sides of the ball, and because of that, we have had a bit of success.�
Junior running back Rocky Reid has gained more than 3,100 rushing yards with 38 touchdowns, a touchdown reception and a kickoff return for a score.
Reid, who is averaging 210 yards per game, gained 175 yards in the state semifinal.
�Rocky is a special football player. I�ve never been blessed to have a 3,000-yard running back,� Padgett said. �Not only is he a good football player, he is a finer young man.�
While Concord�s offense is putting up more than 38 points per game, the defense is limiting opponents to 16 points per game.
The Spiders will look to slow down a Havelock offense led by running backs Derrell Scott and Taylor Woods, wide receivers Micheal and Kyran Bowman and Matthew Boykin, and quarterback Travis Sabdo.
Concord has three first-year starters on the defensive line and in the secondary. However, the linebackers are the strength.
Jerry Burk leads the Spiders with 115 tackles, 22 for loss, and four sacks. Logan Sedergren has 92 tackles, two sacks, four fumble recoveries and an interception.
�Schematically, we are doing the same things we�ve always done,� Padgett said. �We have two three-year starters at linebacker in Jerry Burk and Logan Sedergren.
�Not only have they had outstanding years, but they�ve had outstanding careers. Our kids play hard from snap to whistle.�
Adam Thompson is a reporter for the Sun Journal.

Question and Answer
I am a training provider interested in funding a program. Are there resources to assist my programs and trainees?
Most job training resources are funded through grants awarded to training providers and business and industry. The Division allocates funds from both state and federal resources aimed at meeting workforce needs in Alaska's high wage, high demand occupations. Training providers are encouraged to view current grant opportunities on the State of Alaska's Online Public Notice website and to take the tutorial and register in our new online grant management system, EGrAMS.
Other funding resources are available to training providers through Individual Training Accounts (ITAs). ITAs are issued to individuals at local Alaska Job Centers. Some of the ITAs require training providers and their programs qualify through the state Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL).
I am an employer looking for help in developing my workforce. Are there resources to assist me?
The Division often assists employers with their customized training needs. An employer needing to upgrade or improve their workforce capacity as a result of changes in process, technology, or specialized skills, should contact the Division directly. Program Coordinators from the Division are skilled in identifying and assisting an employer to develop the plan and make recommendations for resources.
Besides the specialized work of the Division, Alaska's Job Centers across the state have a number of programs to help employers develop a skilled workforce. From Apprenticeship to tax credits, many options are available. Additionally, the Division targets occupations that are determined to be high wage and high demand. Local Job Centers have business services specialists to help you identify the right resources.
From time to time the Division also offers specialized funding to help employers with specific workforce development needs. Employers are encouraged to search for current grant opportunities and learn about the Division's online grant management system, EGrAMS.
I am a youth, 14 - 24 years of age, looking for a job or training. How do I find a job or training?
Alaska is committed to helping its youth succeed in the labor market. Numerous programs are available throughout the state. These programs include career information, work experience and training on youth employability skills. Visit the Department's Youth Services web page for more information.
I would like help with job training, what do I do?

Continuing Education
AOLCPs must obtain annual continuing education credits to maintain accreditation status. They are required to submit a completed re-accreditation form with evidence of 4 (four) hours of approved continuing education credits, signed off by course instructors OR evidence of 2 (two) hours of teaching organic land care. (Teaching credits must be approved in advance by the OLC Credit Subcommittee.)
How do I get my continuing education credits?
- There is a list of credit opportunities on our course offerings page
- You can submit a course for credit approval, and we'll let you know how many AOLCP credits the program has earned.
- If the end of the year is coming up, and you need all your credits, you can attend our Annual Gathering for 6 credits and the extra two credits can carry over to the following year of accreditation (this transfer of credits to the following year is only allowed with the Annual Gathering).
How do I host an event with AOLCP Credits?
- Visit our Accreditation Approval Page or submit the online form.
- Upon credit approval please print The Reaccreditation Form for each attending Accredited Organic Professional.
- Conference Format: Please make the form available in the beginning of the day, so AOLCPs can get instructor signatures if there are separate classes through out the day.
- Class/Workshop/Closed Program Format: If there is just one contatined class or program, the course organizer can hold onto the Form, sign under "Signature of Instructor" and give AOLCPs their form at the end of the day or event (after they have attended all the required program for credit).
How does NOFA OLC award credits to events?
Any workshop or seminar seeking to provide approved credit-hours must enhance or expand upon the scope of the Standards and/or course materials. No basic material will be accepted.
One of the following criteria must be met for full credit (One credit-hour per hour of education.)
- Attending in its entirety any OLC committee originated program, or another program endorsed by the OLC committee, that entirely follows, enhances and expands upon the Standards and/or course materials.
- Full credit for a non-OLC committee originated program can be awarded to the presenter or student upon submission of a written outline/handout of the course in question that substantiates the organic content to be fully compatible with, and enhances and expands upon, the OLC Standards and Course materials. It is the responsibility of the presenter or student to seek authorization from the OLC Committee for full credit.
The following criteria must be met for half credit (1/2 credit-hour per hour of education). It is responsibility of the presenter or student to seek authorization from the OLC committee for half credit.
- The content enhances and/or expands upon the OLC Standards and/or course materials; prohibited item(s) may be discussed but are not recommended as a preferred practice, and organic alternatives (if any) are equally discussed.
- IPM that stresses organic, ecological/natural methods and materials without recommending prohibited item(s) as preferred practice.
The following criteria will provide No Credit (Zero credit-hours per hour of education).
- Any program that promotes any prohibited substance
- Any program that is self-promoting, or designed to sell products, methods or materials, whether overtly or covertly
- Any program or workshop that does not otherwise abide by the above criteria.
The following criteria will provide Double Credit (two credit-hours per hour of presentation).
- An AOLCP who presents a full credit workshop or course.
The more emphasis on ORGANIC methods/treatments/control the more likely the course/program is to receive full credit. For more information, contact the NOFA OLC staff at firstname.lastname@example.com.

On the way to play under some Friday night lights, Central Catholic's J.V. team bus caught fire and was quickly engulfed in flames during rush-hour traffic last night.
Everyone from the Oregon school made it off the bus safely—you can see the team gathered down the road on the shoulder—but the bus wasn't so lucky. It took firefighters a long time to reach the area since the rush hour slam just started and traffic was backed up considerably. They were eventually able to reach the bus and put out the fire, but it was of little help to the team. Their game was cancelled because the replacement bus also got stuck in traffic.

Apple, Give Me an iPhone; I'll Give YOU the piPhone
Yeah, you already know that you can use an iPhone to look up all manner of stuff via the Google Maps feature, but with the new 3G iPhone coming out July 11, GPS is added into the mix. I was poking around on the Apple site last week and noticed that the GPS feature page featured an iPhone trained on the location of John's Pizzeria in Times Square. And in the latest video tour, the gesticulating iPhone Guy looks up P-I-Z-Z-A in Manhattan and clicks on John's. (Video, after the jump.)
The iPhone: The Ultimate Pizza-Locator Device
My Case for a Free iPhone
- Apple, I've been a loyal customer for years. From my Apple ][c "portable" computer, through the bad times, and now in the good times
- I've been an advocate for your products among my friends and family. I'm letting one of my friends borrow my old iBook after a PC crash, thus introducing him to the ease-of-use of OS X. And now, even my recalcitrant PC-loving girlfriend is considering the switch to a MacBook
- I developed a little iPod-based app—a pizza guide called the piPod (now retired) that was linked to by Jason Kottke, thus highlighting to thousands of tech-savvy users a little-known feature of the device at the time
But enough about me. With a free iPhone, here's what I could do for you:
- Clearly, Gesticulating iPhone Guy loves pizza. Why else would he search for a pie while "visiting" Manhattan? But I think your pizza-finding algorithm needs work. John's is decent, but there are better pizzas out there. Give me an iPhone, and I will help you refine your device's pizza-sensing capabilities. The masterminds at Slice HQ are already brainstorming
- Geeks love pizza. With improved pizza-finding capability, the iPhone would make your core base of users very happy and even attract new users who would abandon their BlackBerry or other smart phones for a device that could run a "piPhone" app. (By the way, I just trademarked that, so hands off)
- Field-test the new 3G iPhone against grease stains. Yes, you have that new plastic case that replaces the old stainless steel back side, but have you tested it against grease absorbency? I didn't think so. I'm just the man for the job
And Now a Message to the Homeslices Out There
If we did a mobile version of Slice, would you use it? What types of features would you like to see in a mobile Slice? We've been kicking around the idea for a while, and if there's enough groundswell for it, we might begin development on it. Show your support, and Apple might even see that our dev team needs a 3G iPhone to test against!

For reasons yet unidentified, autism has become an epidemic in America over the last couple of decades. The number of children diagnosed with autism has risen from one in 2,000 to one in 150 today. There is good news though. Our program, Train the Brain to Pay Attention the Write Way, can help treat autism. Simply spend 15 minutes per day on our fun and easy program, and see the amazing behavioral changes!
There are various degrees of autism, so they are commonly called "autism spectrum disorders". They include Autism, Asperger's syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorders--Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) and high-functioning autism. According to the The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition Text Revision, 2000 (DSM-IV-TR), the symptoms affect children in three central areas: social interaction, communication and behavioral development.
Diane Kennedy, author of the The ADHD Autism Connection, advocates that there are distinct similarities between the symptoms of ADHD and autism. Both are developmental disorders, and they both share similar features and affect children in the same three central areas: communication, social interaction and behavior. While her journey began as an effort to help her sons, it became a mission to increase awareness about the commonalities between these two disorders. She had three children, and she was under the impression that each of them had ADHD. However, she found that her third son's diagnosis of ADHD with Oppositional Defiant Disorder was wrong.
She observed his delayed social and motor skills, plus extreme sensitivity to sensory stimuli, the same deficiences that autism has. He finally received a diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome despite a very high IQ. After experiencing the turmoil of his misdiagnosis, she began a serious investigation over several years that entailed exploring ADHD research and talking to experts. While searching for a commonality of symptoms, she discovered a medical dichotomy exists in how the two condtions are diagnosed. She notes a recent study of thirty-nine children from six to eleven with Asperger's. By the time that diagnosis was made, 92% had carried other diagnoses or educational labels, the most frequent was ADHD.
She quickly found that while ADHD research focused on the features of the disorder, autism research examined the disorder for root causes so that more effective treatments could be developed. Both were developmental disorders, and they both share similar features and affect children in the same three central areas: communication, social interaction and behavior. Yet each group of research approached its disorder differently. Kennedy maintains that this is where the confusion arises as the medical and educational professionals are not trained to recognize the similarities between the disorders. Researchers and clinicians look for the differences between the two.
Kennedy notes that most parents have a gut reaction that their child's development is not progressing as it should, but, because strong guidelines are used to diagnose autism, children with a milder form on the autism spectrum often fall through the cracks and fail to qualify for help. Ironically, autism often manifests itself as the child matures, when it presents extreme social and functional difficulties. She strongly urges parents to become more aware of what they should know -- ADHD and Asperger's are closely related disorders.
Researchers for both conditions view them as starting in the same biological place--a deficit in the executive functions in the frontal lobes. Kennedy found an unrecognized commonality in the symptoms. She found that both ADHD and autism research bears out a common set of behaviors and processes linked with impairments in the brain's executive functions. Both camps also share deficiencies in gross and fine motor skills. However, she also learned that, despite the strong similarities in the symptoms between the two conditions, the medical community does not screen for autism when they diagnose ADHD, typically when the demands increase after a child enters school. As the diagnosis is made with strong input from parental and teachers' observations about behaviors, it provides a narrow perspective about behavioral issues. The only solution at that point is chemical and behavioral management. Unfortunately, neither can effectively change the brain for long term improvement.
A list of the behaviors common to autism and ADHD are below.
Autism Behavioral Checklist
ADHD Behavioral Checklist
A common symptom between autism and ADHD is that both camps suffer from gross and fine motor skills as well as the impulsive driven behaviors. In some cases, the autism behaviors reveal a deficit in being able to respond emotionally.
When there is a deficit in executive functions, it manifests itself in inattentiveness, distractability and impulsivity--three areas recognized on both the autism and ADHD checklist of behaviors. Drs. Don Cohen and Fred Volmar note in The Handbook of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders, that autism is considered a core deficit in the executive functions of the frontal lobes. Of those three functions, impulsivity, as graphic evidence of the life force, drives the other two issues. Impulse control, the major underlying influence on behavior, is driven by the limbic system, the emotional brain.
Capitalizing on the brain's neuroplasticity with regulated sensory stimulation can help resolve some of the major issues in autism and ADHD. The highly moldable young brain inherently responds to sensory stimulation. Using the powerful combination of movement and therapeutic music brings handwriting remediation to the forefront. The Scientific American, October, 2004 states that "Music engages many areas distributed throughout the brain, including those that are normally involved in other kinds of cognition....The bottom line is: The brain can be retrained to overcome learning disabilities, cognitive impairments, ADHD, etc. What we now know is that this is done over a vast network in the brain that encompasses many other minor and major networks."
As an intentional process, handwriting, a product of the emotional brain, has a physiological/psychological link in the brain. Since it involves the hand, the neurological activity generated by multi-sensory movement influences individual psychology, i.e., impulse control. The action activates the brain with regulated stimulation that develops impulse control over time while exerting a powerful influence on the frontal lobes' executive functions common to both autism and ADHD. Parents and teachers who have used the multi-sensory Train the Brain to Pay Attention the Write Way report children on the autism spectrum have made progress by "leaps and bounds."
