1) Looking For Love; 2) Halfway To Heaven; 3) One More Try; 4) If You Feel The Need; 5) The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game; 6) It's Real; 7) Betcha I'm Gonna Get Ya; 8) Living Inside Me.
Usually the appearance of an album titled after the artist's name in the middle of the artist's career symbolizes a reboot of sorts — but there's nothing rebootable whatsoever in this record, a stereotypical dance-pop successor to Chance, so I'm guessing this rather reflects a complete lack of inspiration. Yes, it is sad when the album's best track turns out to be a 14-year old cover (ʽThe Hunter Gets Captured By The Game'), and, furthermore, one that adds practically nothing to the original — at least when Blondie covered the same track two years later, they completely reworked the arrangement, but this here is a fairly loyal reproduction, weakened only by sterile touches of early Eighties' production.
Candi is a little more involved than usual this time, writing three of the songs and even self-producing a part of the album, but it does not help. Of these three songs, two (ʽHalfway To Heaven' and ʽIt's Real') are generic ballads, one «modern» and one «retro», but both equally forgettable; and one (ʽBetcha I'm Gonna Get Ya') is a dance-pop number so bland and faceless, it would probably make even the elevator cringe at the idea of having it played in it. For the single, they chose a composition by Andy Schwartz, the part-time keyboardist of Chic, ʽLooking For Love', and the best I can say about it is that it has a memorable-through-repetition chorus, oh, and disco bass king Norbert Sloley slaps up some cool lines, but that's about it. The single charted very modestly on the US R&B charts, then disappeared without a trace.
Supposedly this is the absolute nadir of Candi's career — here, her gradual reduction from a nice human being with a sharp sense of taste to a simplistic «musical roach» is complete, and even such a nice gesture as transferring some control over the creative process into the lady's own hands does not work: her songwriting talents are insufficient to overcome the bland standards of commercial R&B in 1980, and as a producer, well, she's no Prince for sure. At least the album cover photo does not strain so heavily to «sexualize» the artist, but then again, boring songs and not even any cleavage to make up for that? This is an insult for male chauvinist pigs worldwide, so clearly, a thumbs down is the only possible reaction.

Amgen's abstract for intralesional agent talimogene laherparepvec's (T-Vec's) Phase 3 trial is now available.
Good for T-Vec and Amgen is good for PV-10 and Provectus.
The study author is Robert Andtbacka, M.D., assistant professor, University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute. Dr. Andtbacka presented information comparing Phase 2 response rate data of T-Vec with PV-10 and other intralesional agents in March 2013 for injected lesions, non-injected lesions and non-injected systemic lesions.
Amgen's press release is here.
"The study met its primary endpoint of durable response rate (DRR), defined as the rate of complete or partial response lasting continuously for at least six months. A statistically significant difference was observed in DRR with 16 percent in the talimogene laherparepvec arm versus two percent in the GM-CSF arm (95 percent CI, 12-21 percent, versus 95 percent CI, 0-5 percent, p<0.0001). The overall response rate was 26 percent with talimogene laherparepvec as compared to six percent for GM-CSF. A trend toward overall survival (HR = 0.79, 95 percent CI, 0.61-1.02) was also observed at a predefined interim analysis."
"In regionally and distantly metastatic melanoma (stages III and IV), cancer has spread to skin, lymph nodes, or to other organs distant from the site of origin. The DRR was highest among patients with stage III and stage IVM1a disease. The observed DRR for talimogene laherparepvec were: 33 percent in stage IIIB/IIlC, 16 percent in stage IVM1a, and three and eight percent respectively for stages IVM1b and IVM1c. The DRR with GM-CSF was not higher than four percent in any of the stage subsets."
""Over the last 30 years, the incidence of metastatic melanoma has increased by over 200 percent, so there is a need for new treatment options," said study author Robert Andtbacka, M.D., assistant professor, University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute. "The results of this study are encouraging in a disease as devastating as metastatic melanoma.""

Sooooo, lets play catch up on the 12 days of Christmas.
On the 3rd day of Christmas, the gift given to me – My In-laws Steve and Mary Robinson.
Now, I know in many cases its odd to speak highly of your in laws but not for me. I genuinely love my in-laws. They are wonderful people, great parents and fantastic pastors. They don't treat me like a son-in-law, they treat me like a son. Before my move to RI, I got laid off from my job and didn't have the ability to save for my move. Well, they thought it would be a great move to allow me to live with them when I move here until I got on my feet. WHOA! I was dating their daughter and they let me move in! Sound crazy? Sure. But I guess real love will make you do crazy things, and these people walk in real love. PLUS, knowing these wonderful people has allowed me to learn a very valuable lesson (well, lots of valuable lessons, but this on in particular) – get to know your girlfriend/wife's mother, it will teach you alot about your wife.
On the 4th day of Christmas the gift given to me – my friend Randy Ealy
I always say that I've known Randy for 13 or years, we've been friends for 10. Randy and I were roommates in Tulsa and that's where our friendship REALLY took off. Most people's relationships fizzle when they move in together but ours got stronger. He also helped to move our music forward while we were in Tulsa. Quietly, he helped to move the "Christian" hip-hop scene forward out there. We've been able to say in touch and it was a real treat having him out here to visit a few weeks back. Good times. Now, we just have to get him to step his Spades game up! (Inside joke, sorry)
From quasi-enemies (9-11th grades were BRUTAL! Cordial, but not very friendly with each other) to incredibly close friends. I was proud to have him in my wedding and glad he is my friend.
On the 5th day of Christmas the gift given to me – James "Cash Hollistah" Curtis
Cash and I met in a wierd way – on an online rap battle board. Here's the idea in a nutshell – emcees go on the message and battle each other with rhymes. Its like battling (for those not in the know – think the final scenes of "8 Mile") except its not verbal, its all typed. Kinda lame and kinda fun all at the same time. Well, I thought Cash was the best guy on the boards, but he let this subpar emcee beat him. I voiced my opinion, and he vehemently disagreed. ESPECIALLY after I mangled the same guy in my own battle. Well, when we finally met face to face at an event me and my partners threw, he was a little bitter about my assesment of the battle. But eventually we got cool with each other. I saw the guy as being super creative but the crew he was with at the time didn't really allow for his ideas to grow – so we took him in over at Sungate. Plus he was having a not so great living situation, so Randy and I (see the above post) took him in at our place. Since then, Cash and I have been good friends and he motivates me (even though he doesn't know it) to step my emcee skills up. The guy is crazy creative. He and I are working together on a few songs for my album. Those songs are going to be SPECTACULAR! Just wait and see.
Creative. Friend. My gift.
Now, I'm all caught up. See you tomorrow. For the next day of Christmas! Great gifts, great people!

The entertainment and financial industries aren't the only sections of the business world hoping to impact political change through donations.
According to a list of 325 top "bundlers" (people who assemble donations) obtained by the New York Times, Obama raised $180 million in 2011-2012, and about $27 million of that came from 43 people in technology.
While the list is littered with venture capitalists and other funding greats, some of the more notable bundlers include Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff with $640,175, Yahoo chief executive Marissa Mayer with $112,400, and LegalZoom founder Brian Lee with $680,200.
Buzzfeed was able to assemble a full list of tech bundlers that donated to Obama, which we've embedded below.
Having the leaders in technology get more involved with political fundraising is hardly a surprise. In addition to the boost in presidential election campaign donations, big tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Netflix are stepping up their donations to PACs — (and Netflix actually has its own PAC).

Plain Kate by Erin Bow
Wednesday, March 12, 2014
I am not usually a fan of middle grade fiction. There are a few novels I have loved, but for the most part I haven't been a fan. However, Plain Kate is incredible. I had my doubts about it from the age level it was written for, but honestly, I think anyone who loves fantasy will be swept up in this book. It reminded me of Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone series in setting and Franny Billingsley's Chime in tone (and if you have been reading the blog for a long time you know those are high words of praise).
What did I love about it? First of all, the setting was unique, mystical and dark and absolutely haunting. The world building was so powerful. The magical rules of witchcraft were also fascinating -- witches could do great evil or great good, healing or bringing people back from the dead. Also, witches couldn't lie, which put an interesting spin on everything.
I also loved the characters. They were vivid, complex, and unforgettable. Our heroine is also the cause of much of the destruction in the story. Our villain has moments of great compassion, and his entire enterprise is built out of misled love. Also, there is Taggle, a talking cat, who is amazing. Usually I am annoyed by animals that talk in people books (animals talking in animal books, like Redwall, is different and okay). However, Taggle is hilarious. He isn't a friendly familiar that talks like a human. He is a complete and utter cat, and hearing his voice is delightful. He alone makes Plain Kate worth the read.
If you couldn't tell, I loved this book. It is going on my list of "books I want to own a copy of," because I want my kids to read this book. If you like fantasy at all, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Plain Kate.

If you were experiencing extreme happiness in a dream, then you might be going through extreme sadness or stress in your life. It might be time to seek some support from those closest to you or a professional's help better your spirits.
It's possible you are trying to avoid the truth or reality of a situation- you are relying too much on wishful thinking.
If the feeling is a little less intense then you may simply need to find a way to look on the bright side of things rather than focusing on the negative all the time.
The dream could be reflection of the joy and happiness you feel in your life right now. Perhaps you no longer have to worry about a problem anymore and you feel a sense of release and relief that all has turned out ok in the end. You may feel sure of love at present, lucky about something that has happened recently or have a new-found self-love that you lacked before.
It's possible you feel you are missing out on some good times and the feeling of being happier than you are. Perhaps the dream is making you realise what you are missing in life that could potentially make you happier. Is it time to pursue such things?
If others were happy in your dreamscape, these could be the same people who smile while you're struggling. They take great satisfaction in seeing you in sorrow. Be cautious around so-called friends and colleagues.
If your family were the ones who were happy in your dream, then you may need to spend more time with them. Perhaps you are missing out on the happy times you once shared and need to recapture them once more.

Border Collie dogs originally nurtured to help herders in Scotland. Towers intensified and strengthened its training capacity and intelligence, rather than the outward appearance. This intelligent breed of dogs. Ability to perform difficult tasks attests to the ability of learning, understanding, and ability to partner with other dogs. However, her wisdom could create a challenge for Border Collie. Border Collie will have to go through primary education obedience and submission, if we want to understand and obey the rules of his new human world. Although Border Collie learns quickly and has a strong desire to please, it can also be possessive and defensive fighting in relation to family and property. Obedience training is the only way a family dog. It starts on consignment your voice comes home with you.
All the dogs live band structure by nature, and as such, they need a leader. The first leader of border your voice was his mother. All his life lessons came from my mother and other litter puppies. Now you have to grab the role of leader and make him understand what is proper behavior in terms of his canine brain understands. Remember that from the perspective of a puppy, there is no logic to human rules.
Right Age to Start training a Border Collie
Remember this: the first 5 months of life of each dog are precious learning time. This is the age where his mind is still fresh and able to absorb any rate, positive or negative. Positive experiences and socialization right at this age are critical to its future development and mental stability. The quantity and quality of time you spend with your dogs youth and your voice at this stage will determine what kind of dog he will be.
Dog behavioral science tells us that all prize rewarded behavior is repeated. This is called positive reinforcement. If something good happens, like delicious candy or hugs and kisses, puppy naturally wish to repeat the behavior. That study has also been shown that one of the best ways puppy's attention is through his stomach. Always keep the pockets loaded with snacks puppies, so you're willing to reinforce good behavior every time it occurs.
The same principle applies also to strengthen the negative behavior or what we humans might consider as negative, like digging in the garbage can (dog knows not to). If the puppy is digging into the trap, stealing food or does that makes him feel good, he will return to action. How avoided the normal behavior of the dog? Give the dog a prize when he heard your orders.
An important rule: puppy must learn that you are the alpha dog now and his new band leader.
Another important rule: You have to teach him a way they will understand. Always remember that the cub does not know anything about human standards of conduct. Love and Tolerance absolutely necessary.

A horrific fuel tanker explosion in Saudi Arabia has killed at least 22 people and injured 111. The truck careered out of control this morning at around 7am, and hit part of a bridge in the capital, Riyadh causing a fireball to rip through nearby buildings and cars.
These were the chaotic scenes as several ambulances got stuck in the morning rush hour trying to reach the blast site. The building - which was the base for Zahid Tractor, a distributor of heavy machinery -.was pretty much wiped out in the blast except for one corner of the building. Fire-fighters battled to douse the flames with additional help from special water tanks from the civil defence unit. The extraordinary sight of mangled wreckage, crushed metal and huge piles of rubble left behind after numerous buildings and vehicles were caught up in the explosion led to crowds of onlookers. Over a hundred emergency services staff and volunteers are now tasked with sweeping the area for any survivors within the rubble and so officials say that - at this stage - the death toll is expected to rise. There also seems no evidence to suggest at the moment that this was an act of terrorism.

Some people may think so — but I disagree. Contrary to popular opinion, the new Farm Bill is going to make marketing more complex than ever, since it requires more decisions. It will also continue to widen the income spread between those doing well at marketing and those not doing so well.
Why? This Farm Bill is not like those in the past that included target prices. Unfortunately, many people are looking to the "target price" of $2.60 in corn and $5.80 for soybeans and assuming that's what they're going to get for their crop.
Wrong! Simply put, the target price in this Farm Bill is merely used for calculating other payments, specifically the counter-cyclical payment. Here are some issues everyone needs to recognize that will be important in the coming months:
The grain still has to be sold. To assume that you are protected on the downside and the upside in prices doesn't matter is like fantasyland. It is still important for you to maximize your LDP payments (picking market bottoms).
You now also have to worry about counter-cyclical payments, particularly if you don't have storage. This is a grain-bin positive Farm Bill.
Should you update your base acreage? This is not an automatic answer, such as whether or not you should update to the current version of Microsoft Windows. For some of you, it will pay to update — but for many of you it won't. There's not enough space to go into that in this article, but do the math for your farm. You might be surprised.
Winners Versus Losers
Agriculture as a whole will be a winner under this Farm Bill. The amount of money being pumped into the farm economy will be very large if prices stay low. And if prices don't stay low, farmers will be able to get the money from the market rather than the government. The losers will only be those who fall under the false belief that the government program will take care of them.
The other potential losers in this program may be farmers who have no grain storage and have to market everything at harvest.
Why? The absolute worst scenario is for a producer who has to sell at harvesttime at low prices that turn out to be the lowest prices of the year. What if, for example, a producer sells corn at $1.70 off the combine and then prices rally sharply for the next few months. He will collect a handsome LDP, but he will have established a low price on the grain and may miss out on the counter-cyclical payments if prices rise.
The Best Scenario
The most profitable scenario we can imagine is for prices to be high before harvest even begins, sell the grain on a forward cash contract and from the time the grain is sold on a contract to the time it is delivered, prices drop sharply. That way you would benefit from high grain prices, high LDPs and high counter-cyclical payments. If only the world worked perfectly.
Parting Thoughts
Net farmer selling prices for grain will vary wildly the next few years. Through a combination of trying to maximize grain prices, LDPs and counter-cyclical payments, strategies will be all over the board, as will the end results. Never has marketing been more confusing.

Boosting Organizational Value through Portfolio Management – New book by Iain Fraser published by PMI
7 August 2017 – Philadelphia, PA, USA – The Project Management Institute (PMI®) has a new book, The Business of Portfolio Management: Boosting Organizational Value Through Portfolio Management, by Iain Fraser. Iain Fraser, Dip PPC, PMP, MoP, P3M3, PMI Fellow, Fellow PMINZ is a former Chair of the PMI Board of Directors and a well-known international project management expert and professional leader.
According to the PMI summary:
Today there is a gap between organizational strategy and day-to-day management activities. To capitalize on new opportunities, or "getting ahead" rather than just "staying in business," most workplaces need a radical transformation. This transformation can begin with how organizations devise and manage their portfolios. Long underutilized as a mechanism to provide value, portfolio management is now being recognized as an effective approach to bridging these critical business elements.
The Business of Portfolio Management offers keys to adopting a new approach to portfolio management that boosts organizational value. A veteran in the field, author Iain Fraser proposes a solution that lies in using the value management framework to link organizational strategy to portfolio content and to delivery mechanisms.
In this expansive guide, case study examples illuminate in-depth discussions explaining the value management framework, implementation and delivery techniques, portfolio leadership qualities, key roles and professional development, and change management. Also included is an overview of organizational maturity models to evaluate project, program, and portfolio performance as well as tools and techniques to implement, execute, and measure their benefits and value contribution.
The Business of Portfolio Management, by Iain Fraser, published by PMI in the USA; ©2017, 166 pages, hard cover, ISBN 9781628253726; List price = US$44.95; info at http://marketplace.pmi.org/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?GMProduct=00101599501

While I have been Team Chris from the very beginning of this season's The Bachlorette Ali was very obiviously Team Roberto. Her reaction when he got out of the limo on the first night was a dead give away. Did she pick the right guy for her? Only time will tell.
While they certainly looked like they were "in love" last night on the After the Final Rose show, my guess is that physical attraction once again won out over the guy who wants a true relationship and allow love to grow over time. I am afraid that we will be seeing the "It's Over with Ali and Roberto" headlines when they get back to the real world and the flame of romance has not only flickered but gone completely out.
I will give Ali this much, she certainly seems to be a woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to go after it. Too make the decision to break up with Chris on the day of their final date was a testament to that. I felt bad for him, but the way he handled the whole situation shows what a classy guy he really is. Trust me Chris there is a girl out there for you. One who will appreciate the fact that you are willing to go into a relationship in a very realistic way.
I do hope it all works out for Ali and Roberto, but can someone please tell me why these couples have to move in together from the very second the ring goes on the finger? Girls, don't move in he will marry you quicker!
Oh, and one last thought. This is a show that spent big dollars traveling all over the world this season (Iceland, Portugual, Tahaiti, Bora, Bora) knowing that Roberto was the last guy standing couldn't they have at least found a suit that fit him properly. I thought for sure he was going to bust right out of it when he knelt to propose.
I'm curious how many of you think Ali and Roberto will actually make it down the aisle?

Setting new limits on broadcast mergers, the U.S. Justice Department sided with ad agencies in deciding that radio is indeed a separate market from other advertising and subject to anti-trust concentration rules. The decision forces Jacor Communications to spin off WKRQ-FM when it acquires Citicasters Broadcasting in Cincinnati and impacts other radio deals including Westinghouse Broadcasting's purchase of Infinity Broadcasting.
Further, the American Association of Advertising Agencies on Friday said it will object to Jacor's proposed settlement--selling the station--as insufficient.
Jacor's purchase would have given it nearly 60% of the Cincinnati radio advertising market, but the company had argued that concentration didn't represent monopoly power because advertisers could go to other forms of advertising. The Justice Department rejected the argument.
"This acquisition could have reduced competition and made it more difficult for businesses of all sizes to get competitive rates when buying radio time in Cincinnati," said Assistant Attorney General Anne Bingaman. "The Telecommunications Act repealed the old limits on how many stations one company could own in a given market, but it did not grant radio group owners a license to monopolize the sale of advertising time."

Well, the kids mostly just rode bikes and scooters through it, but we called it a "car wash" anyway. That's my nephew, Quinn, zipping through on the bike. Barb had cut out directions for building this from a magazine years and years ago, and this year she enlisted the help of Larry and Corey to build it for the kids. It's made from PVC pipes with holes drilled in them and it hooks up to a hose. It was a huge hit, to say the least.
Now that fall is coming, it's time to pack up the car wash until next summer. Barb asked me if I would make her a bag to hold it all. The PVC pipes come apart, but some of the pieces are still nearly six feet long. I grabbed some green duck cloth and added it to the brown duck cloth remnants I had left over from sewing Larry's 5-Gallon Bucket Organizer. Then, I sewed a basic drawstring bag and boxed the corners. The drawstring is parachute cord and the drawstring stopper is the same two-hole kind I used on the Double Skein Yarn Bag.
I forgot that boxing the corners would take a little from the height, so I hope it's still long enough! If you mash it down flat, the middle part between the boxed corners is still six feet long though. The lighting for this picture is terrible because it's really cloudy and rainy outside, thus it wasn't possible to take a nice photo with natural light. Plus, this sucker is huge and not easy to photograph when your only potential photography assistant at home right then is less than four feet tall.
The bag would have been pretty boring if I had left it plain, so I added an appliqué car (made from the green duck cloth and some black felt).
I'm bringing it over to Barb's later this morning -- I hope all the pieces fit inside!

Nicoli new nonexec Vue chair
EmptyU.K. exhibition company Vue Entertainment has appointed EMI Group chairman Eric Nicoli as its new non-executive chairman (HR 12/22).
Nicoli will take up his new role immediately, and while "working closely with Vue CEO Tim Richards," the EMI chief aims to "facilitate the company's continued growth in the U.K. and Ireland," Vue said Thursday.
Nicoli has been chairman of EMI Group since 1999, having joined the music giant's board in 1993 as nonexecutive director.
Nicoli's list of executive directorships includes his role as non-executive chair of the Tussauds Group and a previous stint as non-exec chair of music retail giant HMV Group.

Our old pony was sold due to the fact that Gustav wanted to move on to new challenges and I was very proud that someone thought that highly of his skills as to offer him a pony to ride.
The deal is that he can ride the pony, and we'll feed him and pay the farrier etc.
A pony of this caliber would be out of the question if we would have had to pay for it ourselves. And I know that one day the breeder might choose to sell the pony which is perfectly OK, because she will probably have another pony ready at that time that he will then hopefully be offered instead.
With Milo now in our stable I felt obliged to carve a name sign for him like I have done for our other horses and ponies so far.
I didn't have any nice boards left from the pilot ladder that I used for the last name sign, so I had to settle for a spruce board from a pallet.
The carving turned out OK, but the difference in color of the grain makes it hard to see the outline of the horse. I think this will improve if the sign is painted or maybe just varnished. I will discuss it with Gustav and then let him decide.
I used my usual technique for the letters, but instead of carving the logo of the New Forest ponies I opted for a silhouette of a horse that is jumping. The logo of the NF ponies looks kind of like an atomic cloud to me, so that's why I didn't choose it.
For some reason there is a larger distance between the L and the O than with the rest of the letters. I think the problem is that the L has sort of an open side and the O can't "intrude" that space. But It is how the name came out of the printer.

* Sci-Fi has put out a "Catch the Frak Up" video for the last four seasons of Battlestar Galactica.
* All about Patrick Fitzgerald, the man everybody wants to put in charge of everything.
* Daily Routines: how writers, artists, and other interesting people organize their days. Via MeFi, which has some greatest hits.
* In 1945, after the atomic destruction of two Japanese cities, J. Robert Oppenheimer expressed foreboding about the spread of nuclear arms. "They are not too hard to make," he told his colleagues on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, N.M. "They will be universal if people wish to make them universal." How the bomb spread (and didn't) around the world.
* The Los Angeles Film Critics Association has named WALL-E the best film of the year. It's a bit of a strange choice against Dark Knight and Synecdoche, among others, but WALL-E was a hell of a good film, potentially a very important one, and damnit if I don't love Pixar.
* No book more deeply and revealingly explains the spasm of madness through which the United States has passed in recent years than Moby Dick. For generations, it has been considered a masterpiece of world literature, but now can it be seen as an eerily prophetic allegory about 21st-century America. It is now truly the nation's epic.

Hi I'm a 23 year old female. Almost 7 weeks ago I went over ******n my foot, hearing the crunch and feeling the pain I went to my A&E department where I was told I have a displaced break of my 5th metatarsal, the doctor wasnt sure if it needed pins as she was a locum and the fracture docture was on holidays so basically they plastered me up and sent me home to return in 10days. I saw the xray which the bones were clearly not aligned and the break was not straight accross but more diagonal.
On going back the doctor decided to leave me in a cast for a further 4 weeks and then get checked out again. I did so and last tue i got the cast off, however the doctor said he would have hoped for more bone growth at this stage (looking at the xrays) and something about a lack of calcification?
He then told me to put a little weight on it and come back in 4 weeks... As you can probably tell the local fracture department is somewhat of a conveyer belt so i was unable to ask many questions and he offered me little advice! What i want to know is, should I try walking more or less without the crutches - am i doing more damage if i put my whole weight on it? I still have some pain and it feels strange but i suppose that's to be expected. Would it have been better to have gotten the bones manipulated into place? And happens if it doesnt heal? I want to get back to work as soon as possible (Im a primary teacher which required good mobility) but i dont know what is advisable.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice? Should i seed a second oppinion?

Basically her webinar talked about the three ways to easily differentiate any unit you teach to help every student! Alright this sounds good; I am in!
The first step is unpacking your standards. As stated earlier, I was caught up with helping who was bored and reading a book of short stories in my office so I COMPLETELY forgot about this and ended up missing step 1. I am going to assume that this is when the teacher breaks down the standards so they are at their bare essentials and you can more clearly plan your lessons understanding exactly what you expect each student to be able to do at the end of the unit.
Divide your students. This is NOT dividing them among high, medium or low. There are four categories with only two qualifiers.
How does your student deal with content? Do they struggle with vocabulary words, and the basic content or they have a million words and understand the content. For example: If they rock content they can convert all verbs into participles and understand what a participle phrase is.
Your students either have high content(HC) or low content.(LC)
How does your student process? Does your student apply process easily? Do they struggle with the process? For example: If they rock process they can put a participle phrase into a sentence no problem.
Your students either have high process(HP) or low process (LP)
Now by the end of the lesson a student should have the process and the content. So each student gets grouped by their starting content and process LCLP, LCHP, HCLP, HCHP
How do you figure out which student goes where?
- Well you can give a pre-test (where each question signifies either content or process) and grade it deciding from there who is a best fit for where.
- Have students self identify, "How much do you know about participles? Do you know all the irregular ones? Can you use them to describe a noun?"
- Have the teacher identify: If you know some students struggle with content put them in a different group
Here's what I like about this method.
It encouraged students to learn how they learn and help themselves. If they know they struggle with conjugating then they can learn that they need to focus on that.
I was discussing on a forum the other day that I listen really well. I learn VERY well by listening. When I read it takes me longer to learn. I know this about myself, it is why I prefer lectures and webinars to websites and books. I did not always know this about myself and once I learned I became a better student.
Here's what I don't like about this methodI know she said that students don't feel constrained by the labels because they are always changing, but I just don't believe my students would feel that way. Nor do I believe I would feel that way were this done to me as a student.
I prefer my differentiation done on the sly, "OK I have put you in random groups: Susie, Johnny, Jorge and Lee I want you to do the project this way." The groups are random the partners are selected by me, etc. This is a way to differentiate without making students feel inadequate
Finally STEP THREE
Make your lesson plans and JUST think about the standard. What would work well for this unit? Focus on that. AT this point the teachers are NOT thinking of the students. Below is a screengrab from the webinar. At this point we are ONLY doing the grey.
NOW we step in and add steps for each of the students (the white background).
Since we were short on time Robyn couldn't go into THAT much detail on each of them but we got a gist.
- Low content students should
o Get more practice on the vocab (cheat sheets, homework)
o May need help connecting (Graphic Organizers)
- High Content
- Add ambiguity (selection of readings, raising other questions)
- Add complexity (more irregular verbs)
- Low Process
- Keep samples around
- Have formulas (Noun+ past particle + verb = sentence!)
- High Process
- Increase complexity of the process (Ass a participle phrase to a past perfect sentence)
- Help students use multiple processes at once (Great, can you add an appositive to that sentence too?)
- Improve speed and accuracy (Try to do five in 10 minutes)
- Add restraints (Don't use the cheat sheet)
Robyn was very charismatic and seemed intelligent. I am just not sure this is the best match for my personal teaching style, but I will be keeping it in the back of my head while planning my fall classes this Summer. Amazon has quite a few books by Robyn the following seemed relevant to the webinar. In particular she mentioned how to support struggling students and the differentiation workbook.

Moore Announces Agreement To Acquire The Nielsen Company
Tuesday, January 15, 2002
Press release from the issuing companyTORONTO & STAMFORD, Conn.-Jan. 14, 2001--Robert G. Burton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Moore Corporation Limited announced today that the company has entered into an agreement to acquire privately held The Nielsen Company. As one of the largest commercial printers in the Midwestern and Southeastern United States, Nielsen had revenues of approximately $90 million in 2001. The transaction is expected to be completed in the next few weeks and to be accretive to earnings. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Nielsen operates from three state-of-the-art facilities located in Florence, KY; Raleigh-Durham, NC; and Cincinnati, OH. The 730-employee company has a reputation as a customer-focused quality-driven organization with a successful 75-year operating history. Specializing in producing high quality commercial printing, Nielsen's product line includes annual reports, brochures, catalogs, pharmaceutical inserts, and marketing and promotional material. Nielsen's premiere customer base includes numerous Fortune 500 companies in the consumer products, pharmaceutical and financial services industries. Mr. Burton stated: "I stated when we first arrived at Moore a year ago, that we needed to be a stronger participant in the highly fragmented $70 billion North American commercial print market. The acquisition of The Nielsen Company creates a platform for us to offer a commercial print capability to our customers while simultaneously providing Nielsen's existing customers with the opportunity to benefit from Moore's core products and services.'' S. Christian Nielsen III, Chairman of The Nielsen Group stated: "As a leader in the commercial print market, the Nielsen family is very proud of the strong reputation for excellence that has been developed over the past 75 years by the dedication and talent of our employees. The combination of Moore and Nielsen creates the opportunity for us to better serve our customers and allows us to offer them Moore's extensive range of products and services. We are looking forward to becoming the flagship of Moore's commercial printing platform.'' Mr. Burton concluded: "We continue to execute on the plan we initiated when we came to Moore. With the acquisition of The Nielsen Company, we continue to deliver on our commitment to grow the company both organically and through thoughtful, strategic acquisitions of quality companies in higher growth sectors of the printing marketplace. We feel that this addition to Moore will provide significant opportunities for Moore to capture incremental sales from new customers through our ''one stop" approach to servicing customers. I look forward to a swift completion of this transaction and to officially welcoming The Nielsen Company to the Moore family.''

- Transactional operations. All installation operations are transactional. For each operation that Windows Installer performs, it generates an equivalent undo operation that would undo the change made to the system. If a failure occurs during the middle of an installation, Windows Installer can roll back the machine to its original state.
- Self-healing. Windows Installer supports "self-healing" abilities for applications. Applications can detect common installation problems at launch, like missing files or registry keys, and automatically repair themselves.
- Installation on demand. Windows Installer supports on-demand installations of application features. For example, the spelling checker in Microsoft Office Word may not be installed by default, but a user can trigger an on-demand installation of this feature.
- Installation in locked-down environments. In fully locked-down environments, users don't generally have permission or the ability to install applications. In most cases, they don't have write-access to the Program Files folder of their computers or to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry location. If an administrator approves an installation package by means of Group Policy, for instance, Windows Installer can perform an installation on the user's behalf.
- State management. Windows Installer provides a set of standard Win32® application programming interfaces (APIs) and automation interfaces for applications and administrators to use for querying the installation state on the machine. The APIs allow querying of the current state, verification of the existing state, repair of a corrupted state, and transition from one state to another.

'The Amazing Spider-Man' Lives Up To The Hype — Five Reasons To See It
Get ready for one of the most exciting movies of the year — both the action and love story are second to none!
One of the most buzzed-about films of summer is The Amazing Spider-Man, featuring red-hot stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. HollywoodLife.com got a chance to see this highly-anticipated reboot at a special screening hosted by The Wall Street Journal and The Peggy Siegal Company. It's anchored by the real-life lovers, who definitely add some much-needed starpower to the fading franchise. It's as fun and epic a superhero movie as The Avengers! Check out five reasons we LOVED this action-packed flick!
1) Andrew and Emma are great stars!
We just love the chemistry between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. It's so pleasant to chill out and enjoy two attractive people deliver witty banter for two hours!
2) The Lizard is a great villain!
Rhys Ifans is so much fun as mad scientist Dr. Curt Connors, and the visual effects which transform him into The Lizard are so great. His leathery skin especially pops in 3D — it's some of the best CGI of the year!
3) The action is breezy and fun!
The Amazing Spider-Man plays as a live-action cartoon, which is pretty perfect for a comic book adaptation. It never gets dark and gloomy, preferring to keep the thrills in interesting environments like the sewers and a high school. It even delivers an eye-popping bridge battle!
4) The supporting cast is amazing!
Between Martin Sheen, Sally Field and Denis Leary, the adults are played by strong actors who give warm performances. It gives the movie plenty of heart!
5) It's a true crowd-pleaser!
If you're spending the holiday with friends and family, everyone will think Spider-Man is a great pick. After all, you can't exactly take your nieces and nephews to go see Magic Mike!
After the premiere, A-list guests headed to the after party at Lilium, located inside the W Union Square, and the swanky soiree was sponsored by The Gerber Group.
Will YOU go see The Amazing Spider-Man when it opens on July 3, HollywoodLifers?
— William Earl

So, lets get started!!!
URL Rewriting:
A Web container associates a session with a user by sending and receiving an identifier. This session ID is passed between the client and server. You could place this identifier in the HTML, but servlets are already designed to track this identifier if it is placed in a cookie or in the query string. The cookie is the easiest and happens automatically for you when you create a session. If the user turns off cookies then you can send the identifier back and forth in the query string by including it in every URL that is returned to the client. Though this is a bit of a painful task and is not necessarily used always, it is advised to learn it to cope with situations where cookie tracking is turned off frequently by your users and you still need to use sessions.
You append the session ID in URLs by calling the response's encodeURL(URL) or the encodeRedirectURL() method on all URLs returned by a servlet. This method includes the session ID in the URL only if cookies are disabled; otherwise, it returns the URL unchanged.
Exam Trivia:
The encodeURL method will use URL rewriting only if cookies are disabled else it will not modify the URL and the session will continue to use cookies. Remember that for the exam. Unless the question explicitly states that the cookies are turned off, don't assume it is and think that the URL will be modified by this method
Example Code using URL Rewriting:
Now that we know how to append a session ID in the URL, lets look at an example that does that for us.
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class TestURLRewriteServlet extends HttpServlet
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
session.setAttribute("sessionNumber", new Integer(22));
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("< html >");
out.println("< body bgcolor=\"white\" > ");
out.println("< head >");
String title = "Session ID Is In URL";
out.println("< title >" + title + "< / title >");
out.println("< / head >");
out.println("< body >");
out.println("< center >");
out.println("< h1 >" + title + "< / h1 >");
out.println("< P >");
out.println("< P >");
out.print(response.encodeURL("ExampleURL?name=" + "Car&value=Ferrari"));
out.println("< / center >");
out.println("< / body >");
out.println(" < / html >");
out.println("< / body >");
out.println("< / html >");
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
doGet(request, response);
When I first ran this code, my cookies were turned on. I saw this in my browser:
However, I then turned off cookies and received this on the next visit:
The JSESSIONID attributed displayed in the output above is used to track sessions when cookies are turned off. This JSESSIONID attribute would get appended to the query strings (URL) when we use the encodeURL() or encodeRedirectURL() methods.
You will probably see this attribute mentioned on the exam. So, just remember whatever you learnt in this chapter…

It's temporary. If family and friends are reading this, I'll like you again after Christmas.
|Thanksgiving reading 2012.
My blockbuster this year will probably be Marilyn French's The Women's Room.
This week I've been lost in entertaining, stylishly-written books by male novelists, Terry Pratchett and Nick Hornby, and a translation of an obscure epic by the poet David Ferry. Terry Pratchett's The Truth is a satire of journalism and its opponents. Nick Hornby's A Long Way Down is a superb comedy. I admire David Ferry's translation of Virgil's incredibly boring didactic epic, the Georgics, though I admit I'd rather be reading Bewilderment, his National Book Award-winning poems.
None of these needs a plug by bloggers. Nonetheless...
NICK HORNBY'S A LONG WAY DOWN. Hornby is one of my favorite writers. I love his four books of witty book columns for The Believer: The Polysyallabic Spree, Housekeeping vs. the Dirt, Shakespeare Wrote for Money, and More Baths Less Talking.
I am also a fan of his novels.
His last two novels, A Long Way Down and Juliet Naked, have more depth than his early comedies, or so I remembered. I decided to reread A Long Way Down today instead of cleaning. I plan to download Juliet Naked on my e-reader later (that will take care of tomorrow).
In A Long Way Down, four suicidal characters meet on New Year's Eve on the roof of Toppers' House, a famous suicide spot. They divert each other from jumping and form a "gang"--a kind of support group--to keep one another alive till Valentine's Day.
This witty, stark novel about depression is divided into short first-person chapters from their four points-of-view: Martin, a talk show host who went to prison for having sex with a 15-year-old girl, was divorced by his wife, and lost his job; Maureen, the mother of a disabled child who cannot speak or act; Jess, a teenager whose older sister disappeared; and JJ, an American who has broken up with his band and his girlfriend.
Hornby has a gift for being interesting. That is not as common as you might think. Hornby pares out tedium: he writes simply and colloquially, his books are comical and spare, and it is easy to imagine these chapters being performed on the stage.
Here is an excerpt from one of JJ's chapters:
OK, you don't know me, so you'll have to take my word for it that I'm not stupid. I read the fuck out of every book I can get my hands on. I like Faulkner and Dickens and Vonnegut and Brendan Behan and Dylan Thomas. Earlier this week--Christmas Day, to be precise--I'd finished Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates, which is a totally awesome novel. I was actually going to jump with a copy, not only because it would have been kinda cool, and would've added a little mystique to my death, but because it would have been a good way of getting more people to read it.TERRY PRATCHETT'S THE TRUTH. Terry Pratchett's Discworld books are comic fantasies, set on a flat, circular planet that is in some ways parallel to our own. The city of Ankh-Pork is inhabited by wizards, The Watch, patricians, journalists, women soldiers dressed as men, pub owners, engravers, sex toy shop owners, landladies, dwarves, vampires, werewolves, and sundry other beings.
In The Truth, William de Worde, writer of a newsletter about Ank-Pork, starts a newspaper after a group of dwarves invent a printing press. Before he knows it, he is investigating improbable accusations that Lord Vetinari, the Patrician, attempted the murder of his assistant and embezzlement of a massive load of gold. William, along with his reporter, Sacharissa Cripslock, and vampire photographer, Otto, are so inquisitive that they seriously piss off two killers.
This novel is very funny, and as William and Sacharissa evade the attempts to squelch their newspaper, they learn to mix human interest elements, like talking dogs and funny vegetables, with serious journalism. What is the truth? It is at least good for a day.
Good writing.
The Georgics is a didactic poem about how to farm, sort of. Some consider it more an epic about man...but I'm not here to do a college student's homework.
The language is gorgeous, but the poem is repetitive. If you want to learn how to plant olive trees, how Ceres taught mortals to turn the earth with iron, and how you should plant flax in autumn, this is your poem.
Beautiful language, but very dull content.
Here is a literal prose translation (mine), followed by Ferry's lovely poetry.
Then the rivers first felt the hollow boats; then the sailor numbered and named the stars, Pleiades, Hyades, and clear Arctos, the Great Bear, daughter of Lycaon. Then they (man) learned how to catch wild animals with snares, to trick birds with bird-lime, and to surround the great forest with their dogs.
Spellbinding stuff!
Now look at Ferry's:
Then rivers began to sense that hollow canoes
Were floating upon their waters; sailors began
To count the stars in the sky and give them names:
Pleiades, Hyade, Arctos, starry child
Of Lycaon. And then they learned to snare
Wild beast in traps and fool song birds with lime
Lovely, metrical, and someone had to do it, but thank God not I! C. Day Lewis's translation is also very good.

I write this, in some sense, for myself, because for many years – too many to mention – the Christian faith has been too often about the development of an idea rather than an encounter with a person. I have fallen for the outer trappings of faith rather than the inner reality, experienced mystically through prayer and the sacraments.When Moses stepped aside to see the bush that was burning, he was initially fascinated with how the branches were burning but not being consumed. However it was not the bush and the non-combustible properties of its parts that, in the end, changed his life and the life of his people forever, it was the reality that was within, beyond and above the fire. That's why I love the following story from the lives of the desert fathers:
Abba Lot went to see Abba Joseph and said to him, 'Abba as far as I can I say my little office, I fast a little, I pray and meditate, I live in peace and as far as I can, I purify my thoughts. What else can I do?' then the old man stood up and stretched his hands towards heaven. His fingers became like ten lamps of fire and he said to him, 'If you will, you can become all flame.'
Abba Lot did everything right, everything expected of a monk or hermit. He said the office, prayed, fasted, meditated and tried to live out his life in a God-pleasing way. But he discovered somewhere along the way that that was not enough for him. He sensed that there was still something more or even something missing, and he wanted it.
We can all relate to God in this way and be good Christian people, living out the faith as a mixture of religious rules and self-discipline, but as with Abba Lot we sense, if we are open to it, that there is more. A lot more. In fact the greater part of what the Christian faith is, has all along, been missing.
So Abba Lot visits Abba Joseph and asks him, for us: "What else can I do?" Abba Joseph's answer, complete with visual aid, is that if we want the fulness of God, God has to have the fulness of us. If we want this somethinig more, we must come to that place where God consumes us in our waking, sleeping, thinking, praying and living. Sure he wants our head and our intellects, but that is only a part of the total.
I too want to become fire. I don't want to play at being a Christian, I want to be one. I don't want to live out of my intellect, I want to live out of my heart as well. I don't want luke warm, I want hot. I don't want just a snippet of God, I want as much as I can bear. I don't just want the bush, I want the fire.
