Technology Connection--Why amn't I using it?

This is the best learning organizer I ever worked on. Still should work well.

Song: Take me home by Jeff Brisee

Passing by my eyes
Are people living lives
They flow before my gaze
Just like the memories
In my mind
I watch them from
My hiding place
In shadows so
To hide my face
And as they pass
The memories flash
Of how it felt to feel that way

And home…
I long for home…
Where is my home…
Please take me home…

Home…
Please take me home…
Where is my home…
I long for home…

I watch the people
Not because
I wanna be their friend
I watch them not
Because I hope to know
Them in the end
I simply watch
And ask myself
Why do I feel this way
How did I get here
Can I hope
To feel again someday
To feel the feelings
That they feel…
To hope, to love, to cry
To fall and feel the pain
Or rise in triumph to the sky

And home…
I long for home…
Where is my home…
Please take me home…

Home…
Please take me home…
Where is my home…
I long for home…

All I have are memories
Of the times
When things were good
Memories of the days
Of when I felt
The way I should
Memories now that
Flow before the view
Inside my mind
Just as the passing people
Flow before my open eyes
Oh God! How can I be
Like them
Is there a way to
Start again
I know there is
I know its there
I’ll find it
I don’t really care
What I have to go through
What I lose and what I lack
I know my heart
Can feel again
If I can only
Find my way back

Home…
I’m going home…
This is my home…
It feels like home…

Home…
This feels like home…
This feels like home…
This feels like home…

Home…
This feels like home…
This feels like home…
This feels like home…

I’m finally home

Spending too much in Libya?

Just thinking, somebody mentioned we're "spending all that money in Libya." Actually, I think it's all "spent" right here in the US, in our massive, ever-self-replicating military industrial complex. Follow the money.

If we have to drop stuff, I wonder what would happen if you dropped a dollar-for-dollar equivalent amount of non-destructive but diverting and/or uplifting goods: solar-powered generators, iPads, soccer equipment, water, ukuleles, artist paints, cupcake mix, those neat desktop factories that make plastic parts, blue jeans, tools, iPods, dog-training manuals, hang-glider kits, do-it-yourself literacy for girls... What would have an effect given the massive amounts afforded by replacing the cost of military action?

Recent work has implicated mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in aging, and in humans, endurance training has been linked to health benefits, including increased life expectancy. Safdar et al. wanted to see if these processes could be linked in a strain of mice prone to mtDNA damage and who also exhibit a reduced life span. In these mice, a regime of endurance training—running for 45 min three times a week over 5 months—induced mitochondrial biogenesis, increased mitochondrial respiratory capacity, and prevented mtDNA damage. Furthermore, the trained mice no longer exhibited premature mortality or other symptoms associated with accelerated aging including fat loss, muscle loss, anemia, and graying fur (compare 30-week-old endurance-trained mouse, left, to 30-week-old control mouse, right). Future work will be required to see if similar regimes can protect and "rejuvenate" human mitochondria and mitigate the effects of normal or pathological forms of premature aging.

GarageBand '11 has a lot of automated features to get you started, but musician Jim Galbraith prefers to customize GarageBand's templates for his own compositions. He walks you through the steps.
