Study Links ADHD in Kids to Pesticide Exposure – TIME- Fran Suss. Posted in Blog on May 19th, 2010 | comments (0) Study Links ADHD in Kids to Pesticide Exposure – TIME. Pesticides are just one factor, as the article notes, in the alarming rise of ADHD. I have worked successfully with children with ADD and ADHD ( as well as kids on the Autistic Spectrum) for almost 2 decades, using nutrition, homeopathy and kinesiology to identify and address issues. Please try a natural approach before you consider medication. With school ending and summer approaching, now is the perfect opportunity to work on these issues so that by the time your child returns to school in the fall, s/he can be functioning significantly better, as well as being healthier and happier. The Web Makes the World Happier [STUDY] Announcing: The Coworking Book – with Chapter Excerpt | dangerou. For the last few months, I’ve been quietly been working on a new project.
Actually, I’ve been working on the contents of the project for over 3 years now, but recently, I’ve been plugging it into a new framework. Back in the fall, I was approached by David Hauser from Grasshopper with interest in helping him set up a new coworking space in Boston. David’s whole “empowering entrepreneurs to change the world” value statement for Grasshopper is clear alignment with coworking, far beyond the business proposition. Furthermore, on a very personal note, he might be the only person I’ve met in business who harps on core values as an operating model more than me. I dig that.
David and I quickly made it past the superficial conversations about coworking spaces and got to talking about community, people, empowerment, higher purpose, and the big questions like “why” we do things the way we do them at IndyHall. Fact is, I have written it down. And so, I began writing The Coworking Book. Beyond alpha.

Talk about Curation Steve Rosenbaum: So coming out of South by Southwest and the word that kept coming up and didn't... and wasn't coming up on our radar a lot pre-South by Southwest, was curation. Clay Shirky: Yeah. Steve Rosenbaum: Where does that fit into this? Clay Shirky: Well this, it's interesting, this comes and goes because there was a lot of talk about that in the late 90's and then it went away for awhile.
Curation went away actually when Google started working. I think the curation conversation comes up when two... in two respects and for two reasons. Loading video...

For website content publishers and content creators, there's a debate raging as to the rights and wrongs of curation. While content aggregation has been around for a while with sites using algorithms to find and link to content, the relatively new practice of editorial curation — human filtering and organizing — has created what I'm dubbing, "The Great Creationism Debate.
" The debate pits creators against curators, asking big questions about the rules and ethical questions around content aggregation. It turns out that lots of smart and passionate people are taking sides and voicing their opinions. The Issues at Hand Content aggregation (the automated gathering of links) can be seen on sites like Google News. Who are curators? Where We Stand Now. Colleges 'Freaking Out' Over New Faceboo.

April 11th, 2005 By Peter Budnick As your mother used to say, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” And when someone tells you that a $19 ball will solve all of your back pain issues, you ought to be suspicious. And when they have the audacity to label that ball "ergonomic," you should know better. The use of ball chairs (or FitBalls, Swiss Balls, Physio Balls, Exercise Balls, and any other name they may go by) are recognizable in your local gym or physical therapy shop, but lately, they are appearing in the workplace as a replacement for an office chair. Below are a variety of opinions that have been shared among members of the Ergoweb community According to Jeanie Croasmun, writing in The Ergonomics Report™: The intent of the ball chair developers was laudable: to take an item that seems to be beneficial in an area of health care (rehabilitation and strengthening/wellness) and apply the same principle to the office.
And Jeff Pajot, writing from Canada, in the Ergoweb Forum: Has Venter made us gods? | Andrew Brown | Comment is free | guar. Craig Venter's production of an entirely artificial bacterium marks another triumph of the only major scientific programme driven from the beginning by explicit atheism. Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, was a militant atheist, who refused to accept a job at a newly founded Cambridge college if it had a chapel, and who invented molecular biology partly to prove there was nothing special or mystical about life: it was just the behaviour of complex chemicals acting in accordance with the normal laws of nature.
Now Venter says he has built a living bacterium from nothing but chemicals and code: "Our cell has been totally derived from four bottles of chemicals", he says. In fact, it was grown using yeast as an intermediary, but to the molecular biologist, organisms are just another kind of apparatus. It looks like the complete triumph of the materialist programme. I don't mean that they are both the same because clearly they are not. MetaFilter Saved My Pals From Sex Traffickers—Exclusive Intervie.
The message thread reads like the play-by-play from an alternate reality game, wherein complete strangers work together to solve a complex mystery. But the drama that played out on MetaFilter this week was no game. If not for the intrepid members of this 11-year-old digital forum, a couple of young Russian women might possibly have fallen prey to sexual slavery. Dan Reetz's post appeared Wednesday evening at Ask MetaFilter, a portion of the site where people seek help from the crowd. Mostly it's mundane—someone needs suggestions for a good pet store in their area, that kind of thing.
But this post stood out: "A Russian friend of mine may be in a dangerous situation in Washington, DC," it began. Reetz, a 28-year-old who goes by the online handle Fake, joined MetaFilter in 2004 and is a trusted user, according to Jessamyn West, the site's community manager. But then things started getting weird. The women—just 18 and 20—tried calling George. He was on the road at the time. D! Yeh, i know. Home Page. ‘Agora’ metaphor. As many of you know, I study the spread and localization of packaged software such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) in institutions of higher education. In this line of literature, a new concept has emerged to discuss linkages between organizations called the “agora.”
ERP, as a product, is specific enough for higher education as a sector, but generic enough that the systems need to be localized to some extent during implementation (Cornford & Pollock 2003:111; Pollock et al. 2007). Software modules in ERP for higher education mainly include human resources, student information services, and financial operations, which handle tasks essential for running a university (like payroll and promotions) but have little to do with a university‘s public image (like professors and promotional websites). ERP’s primary advantages are related. First, data storage is centralized. Rather than having numerous databases, an ERP centralizes data storage into a single grid (Davenport 1998).
