Marianne Faithfull plays Los Angeles this Friday night.
Marianne Faithfull is currently in California supporting her latest release 'Before The Poison'. She plays the Henry Fonda Theater in Los Angeles tomorrow night and the Fillmore in San Francisco on Saturday! The following is a tour preview and interview from the LA Weekly. Be sure to catch Marianne while she is in town.
Bless the Child Marianne Faithfull's life after the poison
After 40 years, Marianne Faithfull has just quit smoking. Can you imagine? But the way she talks about it — her voice as throaty over the phone as you'd imagine — giving up her Marlboro Lights wasn't surrender. It was just change — awful, real, good change.
Faithfull is not afraid of good, painful change, and this is partly why, at 58, she's just made the album of her career, Before the Poison (on which she collaborates with Polly Jean Harvey, Nick Cave, Jon Brion and Damon Albarn). Harvey demanded Faithfull take singing lessons to regain her upper register — and Faithfull dutifully did so. ("It cost a fortune," she says — "but I got my range back.")
So much is made of artists who die young, especially those musicians who didn't survive the '60s. It's time we got over that shit and considered the gift artists give us when they don't die — ladies especially. Like Loretta Lynn and Nancy Sinatra (who also recorded career-topping albums recently with young indie dudes), Faithfull really does get better with age — and I'm not saying that to sound cozy. It's the fucking truth. It's as if there's a warm wind blowing through her life now. Maybe it's just love.
L.A. Weekly: Congratulations on quitting smoking. That's a big accomplishment.
Marianne Faithfull: Not yet! It'll be an accomplishment if I manage to get through it. But I will. I've come off worse . . . I don't know actually if that's true. I think coming off cigarettes is probably the hardest thing I've ever done. Of course, the big worry, as you know, is that I'm going to get very fat. That's basically the reason we smoke. [Laughs.]
As somebody who interprets other people's songs really well — I channel them — that's what I'm doing.
L.A. Weekly: Did you choose from a lot of songs for this album?
Marianne Faithfull: Well, this album is very unusual, because there are only four people on it. I love Kissin' Time [her 2002 album, which involved Beck, Albarn, Jarvis Cocker, Billy Corgan et al.]. But there were too many people on it. It would have been better without Dave Stewart. I found working with four people [on Poison] much better. And of course Polly did a lot of it, and Nick, and there's one with Damon Albarn and one with Jon Brion — which is one of my favorites. "City of Quartz." It's about Los Angeles. But it's also taken from The Third Man.
L.A. Weekly: The movie? Is that a movie?
Marianne Faithfull: Is that a movie? Where have you been? You better go and rent it!
L.A. Weekly: I have bizarre patches of ignorance.
Marianne Faithfull: Go and rent it immediately. If you haven't seen The Third Man, you haven't lived.
L.A. Weekly: Oh good, I was wondering what was missing!
Marianne Faithfull: Sorry — my father was a university lecturer, and I've obviously got some of that! [Laughs.] My mother was a teacher, too, so I'm a terrible didactic kind of person!
L.A. Weekly: Being yelled at by Marianne Faithfull is okay by me. I read a comment somewhere that this album was "a good Polly Harvey record."
Marianne Faithfull: Stupid. I met Polly in Los Angeles — we had to meet to see if we liked each other. And we kind of fell in love. But musicians never know much about what's going to happen — except we knew one thing, me and Polly. We said we're going to make a very, very dark record. And we did. And then she came to Paris, and that's when we did the sort of John-and-Paul, eyeball-to-eyeball writing business. I took her to a French dinner party, and she's very, very shy, and I think she was quite freaked out. But the next morning she wrote this very beautiful song called "My Friends Have," with both our perspectives in it. I really believe that song, but Polly's perspective is a lot more ironic. I know, because I know Polly.
L.A. Weekly: Also, it was cool, as someone who grew up with indie rock, to hear an artist from a different generation being presented with that aesthetic.
Marianne Faithfull: Yep. Yep. That's exactly what she wanted. And I'm very good at that. She's the producer, she tells me what to do, and I do it! And she's very bossy, too. Well, in a very gentle way. In her own passive-aggressive way she was very, very clear.
L.A. Weekly: I'm a big fan of Nick Cave's The Boatman's Call.
Marianne Faithfull: Oh, it's so beautiful.
L.A. Weekly: One of the interesting things about that album is the legend that half of it is about Polly.
Marianne Faithfull: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah; blah, blah, blah. Who shagged who? I'm so over that. Let's leave that alone. He's very happily married, she's got a fabulous boyfriend. It's years ago. Nick was quite wary of doing a record on which Polly Harvey was, and Polly, too. They're way over it.
L.A. Weekly: Fair enough.
Marianne Faithfull: The big love affairs on this record are me and Polly, and me and Nick. And maybe me and Jon Brion [giggles]. I'm a bit over Damon, I must admit.
L.A. Weekly: Is Polly going to sing with you in L.A.?
Marianne Faithfull: I don't know. I'm shy to ask her. Polly has given so much to this record — I'm not sure if I want her to feel in any way used. That's one thing I'm very careful about. I don't use people.
L.A. Weekly: My mother says that life begins at 50.
Marianne Faithfull: [Laughs.] That's true. Yeah. You get more comfortable in your skin. And with any luck you find your great love.
L.A. Weekly: You mean . . .
Marianne Faithfull: Yesss. Real love.
L.A. Weekly: It takes that long?
Marianne Faithfull: Well, it did for me. It took me a long time.
L.A. Weekly: Who's the artist you most admire right now?
Marianne Faithfull: Bob Dylan. Oh, man, I think Chronicles is so wonderful. And I've loved his music all my life, of course, and he's a friend of mine, and actually I'm going to go and see his show when I'm in L.A.
L.A. Weekly: What impressed you about the book?
Marianne Faithfull: The beauty of the writing. I saw him in Australia and we had a lovely time together, and he told me he was writing his autobiography. And I was terribly pleased. But when I read it, I mean, it was just so wonderful, and all the musical references were so fascinating. The knowledge. Everything. And the literary stuff. It sent me and my lover on a Balzac sort of spin.
L.A. Weekly: Were you impressed by the way he managed to open up about his personal life without really —
Marianne Faithfull: That is the most brilliant bit about it. He's so gentle on everybody. And he could have been so mean.
L.A. Weekly: Do you have a favorite song?
Marianne Faithfull: "God Bless the Child."
L.A. Weekly: What does that mean to you?
Marianne Faithfull: Well, I love Billie Holiday. I love the idea behind it. God bless the child that's got his own.
L.A. Weekly: It takes a long time to understand it.
Marianne Faithfull: It does take a long time to sink in. But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own — is one of the most profound things anyone ever wrote.
L.A. Weekly: Is there anything in your life you haven't done yet that you'd like to try?
Marianne Faithfull: Oh yeah! I want to build a house according to how I really want: a lovely wooden house with a tower. And I want to make a garden. This is obviously in my retirement in about five years' time. [Chuckles.]
Marianne Faithfull performs at the Henry Fonda Theater, 6126 Hollywood Blvd., on Friday, March 25, at 9 p.m.

As Matt Smith's time-traveling days on 'Doctor Who' near an end, he admits that there are moments when he wonders if he'll deeply regret his decision to leave the beloved sci-fi drama.
'Just because I've done 'Doctor Who' doesn't give me a divine right to walk into any other jobs,' he told journalists gathered here for television's annual summer press tour. 'I have pondered it on several occasions and sometimes think, 'I've made a huge mistake. What am I doing?' Don't leave.''
Smith, the 11th actor to play the eccentric, two-hearted alien, is preparing to shoot his farewell episode - the show's Christmas special, which will arrive on the heels of the much anticipated 50th anniversary special.
He called the decision to leave after four years 'a hard choice,' but pointed out, 'I've done it for four years, and we shoot nine, 10 months a year. The show has come to a natural tipping point. It's at the top of a cycle and it's a good time for me and the show.'
Smith added, 'I feel very proud to be a part of such a wonderful legacy. The thing about Doctor Who is he always looks forward. The show will get bigger and better and carry on without me.'
He called his time with the show 'a transformative experience' that has dominated his life.
As far as future jobs are concerned, Smith already has one lined up: He'll star in 'How to Catch a Monster,' a fantasy film produced and directed by Ryan Goslin.
Meanwhile, the search for Smith's successor is ongoing, according to 'Doctor Who' producer Marcus Wilson.
'You want the best actor for the role,' he said. ' ... You just have to cast the net wide and hope you find somebody brilliant.'

The winter holidays are a special time to reflect on the real meaning of giving each year. Sadly, given the horrific events that occurred recently in Newton, Conn., it's also a poignant moment to focus on the importance of community during the '12-'13 holiday season.
This slideshow is the second of several on AdvisorOne that aim to honor those advisors and associates who serve their local, national and global communities. We've also created a special landing page for you to view all three of our slideshows. In addition, we also feature regular news stories on charitable giving and volunteer activities on our Philanthropy webpage.
To these and other advisors, of course, we say, "Many thanks and happy holidays!"
We look forward to putting together future slideshows to recognize advisors active in their communities and will accept future contributions throughout the year (via e-mail at [email protected]).

Adam Janosik
Spiska Nova Ves Slovakia
Eligible for draft:
3rd round (72nd overall), 2010
170 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2007-08: Janosik scored 4 goals with 15 assists and had 38 PIM in 42 games for HC Liberec in the U-18 Czech Junior League.
2008-09: Janosik split the season between HC Liberec's U-18 and U-20 teams in Czech juniors. He scored 1 goal with 8 assists and 12 PIM in 22 games for the U-20 squad and scored 7 goals with 19 assists and 39 PIM in 20 games at the U-18 level. Janosik represented Slovakia in the WJC U-18 tournament; scoring 1 goal with 4 assists and 2 PIM in six games as Slovakia finished seventh in the ten-team tournament. Janosik was selected in the first round (46th overall) by Gatineau Olympiques in the 2009 CHL Import Draft.
2009-10: Janosik fit in well with Gatineau in his first year of North American junior hockey. He was the second-leading scorer among Gatineau defensemen with 9 goals and 26 assists and his +14 plus/minus rating was only one point less than Olympiques' leading scorer Tye McGinn's +15. Gatineau finished third in the Western Division and defeated Montreal in seven games in the first round of playoff before falling to eventual league runner-up Saint John in four straight in the second round. Janosik scored 5 goals (four on the power play), with 2 assists and was -6 with 4 PIM. He suffered a concussion in Game Three vs. Saint John and didn't play in the final game.
2010-11: Janosik skated in 60 of 68 games for the Gatineau Olympiques in his second year with the club and represented Slovakia at the 2011 U20 World Junior Championship. Janosik scored 7 goals with 25 assists and was +17 with 37 PMs on a Gatineau team that finished third in the competitive West Division before advancing to the QMJHL's playoff finals. He was -3 in 24 playoff games with 5 goals, 4 assists and 12 PMs. Janosik led eighth-place Slovakia with five assists in six games and was +1 with 2 PMs.
Talent Analysis
Janosik is a thin, young player whose game is predicated on skating, moving the puck and creating scoring opportunities for players around him. He relies on his speed, quickness and hockey sense to compensate for a lack of bulk and strength. He can be overpowered physically at times due to his size and lack of physical development but anticipates well to keep himself out of one-on-one situations. Janosik's defensive play and positioning are sometimes erratic. Janosik should improve the velocity of his shot and his ability to stick handle in tight spaces as he adds muscle and strength to his frame. Currently lacking in physical and technical skills, Janosik is a prospect because of his offensive instincts, creativity, and willingness to attack.
Janosik will return to Gatineau for his second season of junior hockey following Tampa Bay's training camp. Still very raw in terms of physical development and positional play, he has the potential to be a puck-moving defenseman who is at his best in transitional play at the NHL level. Coaches will tell you that it's easier to teach the defensive side of the game and develop strength than to develop playmaking players who are able to execute and make decisions at high speed. Janosik has the ability to do the latter.

Why Facebook needs tween friends
Facebook has a youth problem.
It's funny. The once-rogue operation created by teenagers in a dorm still touts its rebel hacker culture, with messages scrawled on walls, all-night coding marathons and plenty of Red Bull. The average age of Facebook employees is reported to be 28.
But those youth credentials don't matter anymore. The kids are flocking to other digital haunts. And investors are jittery. When Facebook's chief financial officer said recently that daily users, especially younger teens, had decreased in the quarter, the stock took a nose dive.
The company hasn't given up on the youth market. Far from it. It tried, and failed, to snap up Snapchat, the social media service, for $3 billion, according to reports last week. Last year, it plunked down $1 billion for Instagram, the mobile photo sharing application popular with teens. Facebook recently changed its privacy setting to expand the kinds of things 13-to-17-year-olds can do on the service.
These are good moves. The company should grab anything digital that is taking off. But one thing it should do - and fast - is allow kids under 13 to join, and then figure out how to cater to them.
Controversial, I know, but here's why it makes sense.
Facebook has created something that Mark Zuckerberg, the company's chief executive, says has become such a part of our lives that it's like a utility. The service's popularity has become self-propelling. The more folks we know on Facebook, the more time we spend on it. It's the network effect swelling to take in the entire planet.
But the digital tastemakers are young teens and tweens. Adolescents' social networks aren't on Facebook yet; they are still in the cafeteria and on the playground. Their digital identities are just forming. They text and Skype while they play online games and beg parents for access to smartphones and tablet computers to download apps and try out new ways of communicating. Lunchroom conversations are a mixture of real information and bluster about the pros and cons of things like Kik, WeChat, Tumblr, Snapchat and Instagram.
This is where Facebook struggles.
"Youth are not locked into any service and they can compare and contrast them," said Zachary Reiss-Davis, an analyst at Forrester Research.
Facebook could open up its current service to tweens with special features and privacy settings. Or it could create a new, stand-alone site, a Facebook Jr., that would be a place for the firm to test features and figure out this market. "You have to get them on early and in the right way," said Reiss-Davis.
The service would need to be parent-controlled and ad-free. And it should offer something new and riveting to entice preteens.
If kids could join Facebook, they "may be more likely to stay on Facebook and utilize it," said Stephen Balkam, chief executive of the Family Online Safety Institute, which counts the site among its members.
Federal law creates more requirements for online firms to protect children's privacy, so most social networks simply prohibit children under 13.
But of course the truth is many kids still do join, with or without their parents' knowledge. A 2012 Consumer Reports survey found 5.6 million kids under 13 were on Facebook, down from 7.5 million in the prior year.
And critics of Facebook's current age limit argue there are already too many dangers. Opening it up to children, they say, exposes the most vulnerable in our society to one of the greatest personal data collection operation in history.
But the current setup is far from ideal for kids' safety. Preteens who set up a Facebook account have to lie about their age. If they say they are 29, or 99, they receive the least restrictive privacy settings, which means they are potentially exposed to more dangers. It would be better for them to have a way to participate but with necessary, age-appropriate protections.
And from a parent's point of view, I trust Facebook more than these fast-growing apps and features that haven't yet been raked over the coals by regulators and privacy advocates. With every privacy snafu, Facebook worries about losing users' trust and shareholder confidence. Those stakes make me feel better as a mother.
Of course, inviting tweens to join also exposes Facebook to more risks, and it's not clear if doing so will increase its cool factor. "Is that market worth the controversy," wonders Scott Strawn, a program officer at IDC, the market research firm.
I would say yes. Facebook shouldn't want to be prematurely middle-aged, shaking its head and muttering, "Young people, what they do on the Internet, we don't understand it."
Open the door to kids, Facebook, and test as many features as you can that capture tweens' imagination. Look for what taps into their digital egos and pray for hockey-stick growth. Then once you have their attention, wait a few years before trying to make money off them.

Can My Dog Give Me a Blood Infection?
You share more than you realize with your dog, including bacteria. Exposure to germs in your dog's mouth can increase your risk of developing capnocytophaga, a serious blood infection.View Article

Chew Toys
Chew toys can do more for your pet than satisfy playful tendencies or keep them from chewing your furniture. Some chew toys can actually help build and protect strong teeth. Gnawing on chew toys can eliminate some softer tartar and stimulate your pet's gums. However, choosing the right chew toy is important.
Make sure you look for nylon and rubber chew toys or toxin-free rawhide if your pet prefers it. If your pet doesn't particularly like chew toys, make them more inviting by filling them with treats. Many companies even make edible pet chews specifically designed to improve their oral health. They are good for, not only your pet's mouth, but also for their overall health. Chew toys are a great way to bolster your pet's at-home dental care routine.
Per their dentist's recommendation, most people brush their teeth twice a day and floss once a day. Practicing regular at-home care and routinely visiting an oral health professional can help prevent bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease. Having good oral hygiene practices is also essential for helping maintain one's overall health.
Did you know that having good oral hygiene is an important part of your pet's overall health too? In fact, pets are just as susceptible to the negative repercussions associated with poor oral hygiene as humans are. Unfortunately, few people brush or clean their pet's teeth as frequently as is recommended — if at all. Here's a reminder about why it is just as critical for you to practice good oral hygiene habits on your pet as it is to practice them on yourself.
Periodontal Disease
Whether in humans or in animals, periodontal (gum) disease ranges from early-stage gingivitis, which is characterized by gum inflammation, to advanced-stage periodontitis, which is often characterized by damage to the jawbone and soft tissue around the teeth.
The root cause of periodontal disease is plaque buildup around the teeth that gradually spreads under the gum line. When left untreated, bacteria under the gum line can make the problem worse. As it progresses, periodontal disease damages the supporting tissue around the tooth, which can lead to loose teeth that eventually fall out. Furthermore, certain chemicals released by your animal's own immune system actually speeds up this process.
Thankfully, practicing regular at-home dental care and visiting your veterinarian for regular checkups can help prevent the onset of periodontal disease and other dental diseases in your pet. Use the following guide to keep your pet's pearly whites sparkling bright.
How to Clean Your Pet's Teeth
Remember: Always use toothpaste that is specifically recommended for use on animals.
If you have any additional questions about your pet's oral hygiene or would like more information about the correct way to brush your furry friend's teeth, contact us for help. We can provide teeth cleanings for your pet, recommend a veterinary dental specialist or simply provide more information about your pet's oral health.

Anaheim Sober Companion
Anaheim Sober Companions connects people of all ages who are currently struggling, newly sober or concerned about maintaining their abstinence from alcohol and/or drugs to experienced sober companions, recovery coaches and sober transports.
There is absolutely no "cookie-cutter" method to facilitating an individual toward recovery. The personalized guidance our diverse team provides to help you or loved one begin recovery, during the early phases of recovery or as relapse prevention protection is profound.
A recovery coach and sober companion assists our clients by giving them insight, support, guidance, encouragement, vital coping skills and direction during crucial times in recovery.
For more information and types of services we offer, please call a recovery specialist today at: 800-980-3927
Our Founder, Carmine Thompson is a Board Registered Interventionist, Addiction Counselor, Recovery Coach and Sober Companion who is well respected in the field of chemical dependency and mental health. He hand-picks the best and brightest candidates to work alongside those who entrust us with this pivotal recovery service. Carmine can be heard saying, "if we haven't gone above and beyond, then we haven't done our job."
The mission of Intervention Allies is to help each client discover the person they are meant to be. Establishing a relationship of trust, confidence and respect that is focused on recovery and self-improvement is what our team is second to none at accomplishing.
A Sober Companion and Sober Coach's primary purpose is to assist and support adults and adolescents who seek, need and must maintain daily abstinence. We are committed to the process of helping our clients improve their quality of life, build healthy coping skills and experience lasting freedom from chemical dependency.
We also offer assistance for people struggling with mental health concerns, eating disorders, sex addictions, anxiety disorders, major depression and gambling problems. We pride ourselves on going the extra mile and treating every individual with dignity, respect and competent support.
With such a diverse need for services, our Sober Companions and Coaches are available in all 50 States and internationally, and work one-on-one with a client on an hourly basis such as; attending a specific event, appointment or meeting, as an escort to and from a residential treatment program or detox facility, or as a daily, weekly and monthly live-in.
Along with the presence of a trusted Sober Companion, we can provide progress reports, work in conjunction with treatment centers and schedule clinical oversight with qualified therapists and psychiatrists.
We also have a vast network of relationship partners that includes a Board Certified Physician, Defense Attorney, Mental Health Attorney, Nutritionist, Massage Therapist, Personal Trainer, Yoga Instructor and other professionals from various fields.
Each team member's goal is to provide the highest standard of care and promote successful long-term recovery. We work directly with our clients to re-engage in their career, a favorite hobby, sport or interest in order to develop and maintain a healthier lifestyle.
A recovery specialist is standing by and ready to discuss your situation. All calls are confidential: 800-980-3927
Replacing drug-using activities with constructive and rewarding non-drug-using activities is an essential component of our philosophy. Adhering to a balanced approach for daily living we strive to bring alignment to the lives of those we serve.
We further realize and understand that no two people or situations are alike. Every potential client brings a unique set of circumstances, level of addiction and exposure to recovery.
Sober coaches and companions are trained professionals with a minimum of three years of abstinence and/or certifications in their respected field. Client's, family members, agents and doctors are encouraged to call for our assistance prior to or after someone has been to detox or rehab. People struggling with a history of relapse or someone who wants to further ensure their recovery will benefit tremendously.
Anyone returning home from treatment unaided will be met with stressors and triggers. Having a sober professional nearby improves the outcome that relapse will not occur. Common pitfalls many encounter when engaging or re-engaging back into their lives are reduced and recovery is amplified as the sober coach/companion picks up where rehabs leave off.
There are three primary types of sober coaches:
Sober Escort: "Is someone who gets a client from point A to point B and usually isn't needed for more than a 72 hour period."
Recovery Coach: "Is someone who spends a certain amount of time with a client to reinforce recovery or may be brought in to attend life events such as; an awards dinner, family or business engagement, vacation, etc."
Sober Companion: Is someone who is with a client 24 hours a day 7 days a week lasting anywhere from one month to one year. They also do something called shifting or step down phases where the sober companion will do five days on – two days off – and other companions are rotated in.
How much do these services cost?
Recovery Coaches and Sober Escorts: Are usually paid an hourly rate and can range from $100 per hour to $150 per hour.
Sober Companions: Are typically $800 to $1200 a day. The longer the term – the lower the cost.
How does the whole process work?
How does a client get matched up with a coach? "The first step is for the client and/or authorized agent to contact us so we can discuss the situation and mutually decide what services would best fit the client's needs. Every person receives an assessment and individualized plan that is designed to enhance their recovery and embrace their lifestyle. Pairing of clients with escorts, coaches and companions is based on gender, compatibility and medical necessity.
When the coach first arrives at their client's home what happens?
Companions are prepared to do a clean sweep of the house and safety proof the environment for the client. Every effort is made to ensure the client's well being is protected, so removing substances, contraband or items that may endanger the client's recovery are responsibly cleared away. A schedule may be discussed and introduced so there's objectives, goals and a structure for daily living. The groundwork and relationship building occurs seamlessly as our companions and coaches are well suited for living in close proximity with their clients.
Companionship and Services range from:
* Interventions
* Sober Companion
* Recovery Coach
* Treatment Placement (In-Patient/Out-Patient)
* Detox Placement
* At Home Detox

Dental implants are fake tooth roots that give a changeless base to settled, substitution teeth. Contrasted with dentures, extensions and crowns, dental implants are a mainstream and viable long haul answer for individuals who experience the ill effects of missing teeth, coming up short teeth or constant dental issues. Since they fit, feel and capacity like characteristic teeth, dental implants nyc are rapidly turning into the new standard in tooth substitution.

What influences dental implants nyc to feel totally great and secure? BestTooth specialists utilize a medicinal review titanium embed apparatus that, after some time, really breakers to the living bone cells of the jaw.

Structure of dental implants nyc
Dental implants regularly have three sections:
1) The embed: A screw that fills in as a root for your new teeth. This is the thing that forever appends to your jaw.

Welcome! labsystem.m-o-p.de is a web-based eLearning, course management, and content management system.
Here are screencasts showing you some cool features of the labsystem:
You can find many more screencasts here.
Try it out yourself
The soon I find time again you will find the tryout system here again. So far enjoy the videos and try the system out by yourself...
Using the system as a student
The separation of individual and group-wide activities...
... gives you the freedom to prepare individually at your pace and at the intensity you need. This makes the collaboration of participants with different backgrounds easy in a lab as everybody will be well-prepared for their joint practical part.
The system motivates by locking parts until everyone is prepared by checking if all team members have answered all multiple-choice-questions. This give you motivation to prepare as you know you have to do it and the others have to do it as well. Being prepared guarantees most joy for you in the team part as you can discuss about the problems you encounter there and do not have to grieve over missing preparation of your colleagues. You will see how nice it is to understand what one does and to discuss deeper aspects then just "how do we get it run".
See how the labsystem supports you as a student in doing a practical exercise.
We point you on important content. You get instant feedback on the multiple choice questions. You get quick feedback on the correction of your free-text inputs. You do not have to write a lab report. When you are done with the exercise you are done.
Instantly-Correcting Multiple-Choice-Questions...
... support you in your individual self-learning phase by pointing you on important content in form of multiple-choice-questions. The instant feedback shows you possible problems and need for more studying immediately by just pressing the check-button. The course managers can set the amount of tries you have until you get the solution. Your result will be recorded but it is just for your information.
This way the tiring study of many information gets significantly relaxed like this. Your memorising gets strongly supported.
See how it works:
Free text inputs...
... let your team report the progress of your exercise while doing it. This makes additional reports obsolete saving you time. Additionally it helps you reflecting on what you do when you do it and not afterwards.
The free text inputs are shared among the team supporting your collaboration and your exchange of thoughts, ideas, and views on things.
See how the free text inputs work and how they are correlated on different machines:
The Email-Where-You-Are button...
... allows you to point to an element of the system with just one click on the envelope next to each element.
You get linked to the email-send-page within the system where the link to your element is already in your mail body. You can add comments and send questions, remarks, or other things to other participants or instructors. This makes feedback and coordination very comfortable.
See how it works:
ePub export...
... is very neat for you and your students. You can export your whole exercise or parts of it as an ePub. There is no need for special editing from your side. The system takes care of everything. It even controls that your students can only download parts they are currently allowed to see. So everyone gets his individual ePub to read it where no Internet is available or as he finds it more convenient.
With the ePub export your students literally get their virtual course book.
When you want to know how it works just klick on the ePub icon ()on top of this page to download this document.
Here you can find a video on the ePub feature:
Using the system as a corrector
How the system supports you in your correction task
The better your exercises are the less time your tutors will have to spend on live tutoring. What they will always spend a lot of time with is correcting your student's free-text inputs.
This screencast shows functionality that supports the tutors in their work.
You see how to temporally hide the example solutions which is useful when students are around. You see the correction features including an explanation about our workflow.
The most important thing for the correction is the strong support for cross-correction. Cross-correction makes your exercise scale as additional teams do not mean linearly increasing workload on the correctors.
Also important is the identical view to the one of the students. Your tutors always have everything visible and available the students have giving them a great overview on what was given and what was asked.
Course management
Fully customisable menus...
... let you set and organise the links in your courses menu individually. You can even set access rights to links that show the links only to the user groups you specify.
See how it works:
Where the menu is stored and how it is created when you spawn a new instance:
XML export/ import...
... lets you import existing courses from our portal soon. You can also export and share your courses.
If you want to see the XML export working have a look at the following video:
Integrated centralised account management...
... allows you to assign users to different courses where they can use their single account. The user management supports the users by retrieving passwords and changing their account data by themselves. You can fully customise the data you want to collect from your users. This makes it possible to collect which team partners students want to have, which semester they are, etc.
See it in action:
Removing users and changing the password reminder mail text...
... is shown here:
Integrated Registration Support...
... allows you to give your students additional information before registering to the course. The registration process shows graphically how many places are left (fully customisable by you in the configuration file). The students automatically receive their login credentials and can log on the user administration system. As this system is a regular instance of the labsystem you can add course material there already giving the students instant access to information like basic tutorials or further information.
You can fully customise the emails the system sends automatically from within the system.
See how the registration works:
Course Management...
... makes the system keep track of the points of your students. You can see detailed statistics in a graphical format.
The system shows your students their credits and lets them know how well they performed in comparison to other students without making the scores available. This is an additional motivation and self-estimation support.
See more about it:
Integrated configuration editing...
... allows you to manage your labs (courses) directly from the web interface. So you do not have to log on the web server to set up new courses or change the settings. The configuration files are commented and self-explaining.
Inheritance in the config files...
... allows you to share configuration settings over courses. This makes the setup of courses much clearer and saves you time significantly each time you set up a course or you have to change a setting in multiple courses.
See how it works:
Sending Emails...
... is directly integrated in the system. According to the rights you set only individuals or all participants can send mails to each other or to the instructors.
The system allows to send round mails, ask for support, or just coordinate about things like free testbeds or the (missing) progress of teammates from within the system for logged in registered users.
See how it looks like:
Using the system as an author
The modular concept...
... of couses allows to easily combine and reuse elements like texts or questions in different courses. It also allows to easily create and use templates. Authoring is very comfortable in the labsystem.
See a video about creating a new course:
HTML tidy...
...is very handy when editing plain HTML code within the labsystem. Plain HTML is one of the supported markup languages that can be used for authoring content within the labsystem
CSS tidy...
... supports you with functionality similar to
You can find more information about CSS tidy here: http://csstidy.sourceforge.net.

Integrated document management...
... helps you uploading content like pictures, zip archives, etc. The system organises them and you can easily integrate them into your authored content.
If you are interested in how it works, watch the following video:
visibility of elements...
The labsystem is also a CMS. You have basic elements (pages for text, inputs and multiple-choice questions) that you can group in containers and labs.
This page consists of different pages within different containers for instance. You can set the visibility rights for all elements. Like that you can show information like solutions after the schedule ended for instance or give information to correctors and not participants for instance.
The following screencast shows the possibilities. If it does not sound intuitive to you just play around a little with the visibilities and they will be familiar to you soon.
ePub export...
... is very neat for you and your students. You can export your whole exercise or parts of it as an ePub. There is no need for special editing from your side. The system takes care of everything. It even controls that your students can only download parts they are currently allowed to see. So everyone gets his individual ePub to read it where no Internet is available or as he finds it more convenient.
With the ePub export your students literally get their virtual course book.
When you want to know how it works just klick on the ePub icon ()on top of this page to download this document.
Here you can find a video on the ePub feature:
Quick and Easy Installation
XAMP & the Interactive Installation Shell-Script...
...make the setup of the labsystem very comfortable and easy. You just need a xAMP system. We usually use LAMP with Ubuntu or another Linux derivate, apache (which you can replace by other web servers like lighttp if you like), MySQL (which you could replace by other DBs by changing the interface class of the system), and PHP (from 5 n with support for tidy).
Then check out the repository and run the interactive installation script.

by Elizabeth SheanMom was struggling not to cry, choking out the words past a constricted voice box. "You don't even want me
thinking for myself. You just want to be a dictator around here."I hugged Mom and silently castigated myself. How is it that I—a professional communicator—fail so often in communicating with my own mother? Then again, whose communication skills don't suffer when they're tired? Exhausted, even?Mom was crying because I had lost my patience and yelled at her for making a mess. She has been doing this a lot in the few weeks since I told her we would be moving back to Albuquerque in the spring. In an effort to "help get ready to move," she "sorts" her belongings: papers in the filing cabinet, books from the shelves, DVDs in the entertainment center. Of course, she's not able to truly "sort" anything anymore. So these items get hopelessly scattered about, and guess who gets to clean it all up?On this day, the object of Mom's sorting mania was books. I returned with our dog, Mitzi, from a veterinary appointment to find piles of books stacked randomly on the floor. I angrily told Mom she needed to stop going off on her own and taking on these "projects" without telling me. I lectured her. I hurt her feelings during my tirade, no doubt about it. I was too harsh. Not nearly patient or loving enough.As I heard the angry words tumbling from my mouth, I thought,
I need a break. I need to get some respite from caregiving because my behavior is really unacceptable right now.For the rest of the day I made amends with Mom. Apologized profusely. Gave many, many hugs. Cleaned up the mess in good humor. By bedtime I could tell she had forgiven me. Eventually I'll forgive myself.The next day our CAREGiverSM, Anita, arrived with her usual cheerful smile. After she bathed Mom and completed a few other routine tasks, I asked her to help Mom sort her books into two piles: those to be moved, and those to be sold.Mom has a lot of books, so the sorting took most of an hour. I checked in occasionally and marveled at the way Anita interacted with Mom. When Mom got distracted, Anita would gently bring her back on-task. When Mom asked the same questions over and over, Anita would patiently explain again and again. And all the while, Anita gave enthusiastic encouragement, "You're doing so great! I can't believe how much progress you've made on this!"When the task was complete, Mom was beaming. And a hard truth hit me: Just as I need periodic breaks from Mom, so does she need periodic breaks from me.
I observed Mom and Anita enjoying a coffee break, chatting like old friends, and made a decision. I called my local Home Instead Senior Care® office right then and there. I asked them to send Anita to us for a second day each week—so Mom can see her friend twice as often. I think a little extra respite might be just what the doctor ordered to improve our communication.

Dr. William Smalling first saw the baby on day two of life.
Amillia Taylor, one of the world's smallest surviving preemies, weighed just 283 grams and measured 24 centimetres — under 10 inches — with skin so fragile and translucent her blood vessels could be seen beneath.
"I was shocked that something so small could survive," Smalling, one of Amillia's primary physicians, remembers thinking that day as he stood in his hospital's neonatal intensive care unit.
"Not only survive, but also be so stable."
Born after just 21 weeks and six days' gestation in a South Florida hospital in 2006, Amillia arrived in the world by emergency caesarean section, pushing the boundaries of what is known as the "threshold of viability" — the stage and age at which a fetus would have a reasonable chance of survival outside its mother's womb without severe brain damage.
According to Canadian reproductive biology expert Dr. Roger Pierson, "Nobody really knows where that line is anymore."
As medical advances allow doctors to increasingly save babies born months too soon — those who would never have survived even a generation ago — the debate over fetal viability has been reignited.
In Canada, it's happening against the backdrop of a renewed political battle over abortion. This past week, a Conservative MP accused his party of muzzling him when he tried to raise abortion-related issues. Earlier this year, three Conservative MPs asked the RCMP to investigate late-term abortions as possible homicides. Last year, a Conservative MP pushed unsuccessfully for a special committee to study whether medical evidence supports the idea that a child is a human being before the moment of birth. Whatever direction the political debate takes, it has raised anew the broad issue of fetal viability. And the questions are only getting bigger — and more complex.
Advances in fetal imaging have opened a once-unimagined portal into the world of the unborn, changing what we can see, and what medicine can do. Four-dimensional ultrasound — 3D images that move in real-time — is capturing thumb-sucking, yawning and facial expressions such as crying and scowling in the fetus, as early as 22 or 23 weeks' gestation. It's difficult to say what's a true, purposeful movement, and what is merely reflex.
Until now, it was thought the brain was neurologically immature until about 25 or 26 weeks.
"All those thoughts are now changing," says Smalling, a neonatologist at Baptist Children's Hospital in Miami, Fla.
Imaging now allows doctors to not only diagnose devastating defects of the brain and spinal cord, such as spina bifida, sooner, but also fix some of them in the womb.
The technology is moving so rapidly, Pierson envisions the day pregnant women will walk into phone booth-like scanners, "and you will see everything, inside and out, from a surface level down to a cell level.
"The question is, if we detect an anomaly — and an anomaly is defined as something 'abnormal' — what do we do about it?" says Pierson, a professor of gynecology and reproductive sciences at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.
After nearly three decades of work in this field, Pierson still finds the journey from conception to birth, the exquisitely choreographed building of a human, "a bit of a miracle."
At three weeks gestation, the brain, spinal cord, gastrointestinal tract and heart begin to develop. At week five, the fetus is about the size of a pumpkin seed. By week seven, all essential organs have begun to form.
By the end of the second trimester, the fetus can hear. But this doesn't show what the fetus may experience.
"We can tell you how the brain develops; we can tell you when the folds that are associated with higher order thoughts are formed in utero," says Pierson. "But we can't tell you what an embryo or a fetus thinks, or what it feels.
"And I would rank this as one of the most difficult areas in all of medicine, because we don't know, and because it's full of emotion."
After sperm penetrates egg, a rapidly dividing ball of cells called a blastocyst buries itself deep in the lining of the uterine wall.
The organs begin to form about three weeks after fertilization. The neural tube, the area that will form the brain and spinal cord, begins to develop 22 days post-conception. By week five, the heart, although far from fully formed, begins to beat.
"Very early in the pregnancy, we can see a heart beat at six weeks very clearly on ultrasound," says Dr. Andree Gruslin, interim chief of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at The Ottawa Hospital.
At 11 weeks on ultrasound, "I can see the head, I can see the limbs, the umbilical cord, the stomach, the bladder, very clearly."
The first trimester is critical. At 10 weeks, several abnormalities that can occur — if they do — develop now. "Smoking (in pregnancy), alcohol use, drug use — all those things are critical throughout development but in particular the first trimester," Smalling says.
By 22 weeks, the middle of the second trimester, the heart, lungs and kidneys have developed into a more human-like form. At a gestational age of five months, the brain is mostly smooth on the surface. By seven months, it has almost doubled in size. "In all mammals, the brain develops preferentially over the other systems," Pierson says. "But it doesn't answer: what's going on inside? For all the observations that we make, we fundamentally still don't quite know."
Among the most controversial questions: When does the fetus have the capacity to feel pain?
In the U.S., several states have outlawed abortions after 20 weeks gestation, based on the assumption that fetuses feel pain at that point.
However, in a report released in 2010 by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in the United Kingdom, experts who reviewed international studies published since the 1990s concluded that a fetus couldn't feel pain before 24 weeks because the neural connections in the brain aren't fully formed.
The group also said that, because of the chemical environment of the womb, a fetus never experiences a true state of wakefulness. Rather it's kept in a "continuous, sleep-like consciousness or sedation."
"The fetus exists in what is, in essence, a narcotic haze," Pierson says. The placental fluid contains endogenous opiates. Fetal neural tissue contains receptors for those opiates.
But the fetal brain is constantly in evolution, said Gruslin, of The Ottawa Hospital. "Do they really feel pain and when does that happen? I don't know that we know for sure," she said.
During an amniocentesis, in which an ultrasound-guided needle is passed through the abdomen and into the uterus to detect Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities, "if the baby happens to feel the catheter that's inside, sometimes you'll see the arm move away," Gruslin said.
"In late gestation, they feel something. Is it pain? I don't know."
Uncertainty also exists around the "borderlands" of viability outside the womb.
According to the Canadian Medical Association's policy on induced abortion, viability may be possible if the fetus weighs more than 500 grams or is past 20 weeks' gestation.
However, in a position statement on managing extremely preterm births published last year, the Canadian Paediatric Society's fetus and newborn committee states that "survival is uncommon" for infants born below or at 22 weeks of completed gestation. The statement recommends a "non-interventional approach" for these babies, after discussion with the parents, with a focus instead on "comfort care." That means the baby would not be actively resuscitated, intubated, ventilated or given cardiac compressions — in essence, no heroic measures to keep the baby alive.
"I think, as neonatologists, that we more or less believe that 23 weeks is probably the limit of viability," says Dr. Victor Han, Canada Research Chair in fetal and maternal health and chair of the division of neonatal-perinatal medicine at Western University in London, Ont.
The grey area is between 23 and 25 weeks. "It all depends on the parents and what the expectations are of a baby that has been delivered so prematurely," Han says. "You will have moms and dads who say we would like to have a baby, irrespective of what the outcome will be — whether the baby is going to have cerebral palsy or breathing problems or any long-term problems that babies can have when born prematurely."
The other extreme, he says, are parents "who say, 'we want a perfect baby … we cannot accept these potential complications. We don't want any resuscitative efforts. We're OK with just compassionate care.'"
Sonja Barton-Taylor, Amillia's mother, knew almost to the day how far along she was in her pregnancy when she went into preterm labour, because Amillia was conceived through in vitro fertilization, or IVF. When the doctors told her an ultrasound scan was showing that Amillia was 23 weeks, "I let the doctors believe what they wanted to believe" fearing they would not try to save the baby if they knew she was under 22 weeks' gestation.
Today, Amillia is in kindergarten. She's small for her age and has some developmental delays. She also has trouble with her feet: one is turned in slightly, and she will need surgery to correct it. But, in every other way, "she's a normal kindergartner," her mother says. "She runs, she plays, she does things she's not supposed to do." Her favourite food is sausage pancakes.
Sonja Barton-Taylor once told the British newspaper The Daily Mail that, when Amillia was born, her skin was so transparent Sonja could watch her lungs expand and contract.
Amillia's hand was the size of her thumbnail, she told the paper, Amillia's leg the length of her little finger.
Saving babies at 22 weeks' gestation may be as low we can go, for now. But the technology and knowledge is expanding at a rate never before seen in our species, Pierson says.
"And I doubt very seriously whether that limitation will last very long."

The fetus kicks and stretches and can make gasping motions.
Eyes can open and close and sense changes in light.
Weeks 29-36
Rapid increase in the amount of body fat.
Rhythmic breathing movements occur.
Bones are fully developed but still soft and pliable.
Weeks 37-40

Dr. Dog have just announced a headline tour of North America. The Philadelphia group, renowned for their raucous and transcendent live shows, will be performing in support of their upcoming new album entitled B-Room which arrives in stores this October 1st via Anti-. Fans can pre-order the new album via http://www.drdogmusic.com and will automatically be entered into a contest to win an autographed Dr. Dog photo (only 150 available).
Spin Magazine recently premiered the first track from the album called "The Truth," describing the song as "a timeless slab of melancholic beauty." In the ensuing days the song has amassed a phenomenal number of listens on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUnpNq7U2Qk and several other publications have weighed in with ardent praise:
"Reminiscent of the sounds of old-school soul and Motown tracks, but there is still a distinct modern/garage rock edge that allows this song to be more than just a 70's soul sound-a-like. It's soothing and simple. What more could you ask for?" - Filter
"The live take approach has stripped the band to their core, removing a lot of the psychedelic pomp and circumstance to leave only the soulful swagger of warmly vibrating organ, methodical guitar work, and McMicken's world-weary harmonies." - Consequence Of Sound
"The track breezily pays homage to the kings and queens of Philly soul while allowing the boys to keep carving out a path of their own." – CMJ
"It features a timeless laid back vibe that is all kinds of feel good. It's some quality stuff that is border lining on excellence" – WeAllWantSomeone.org
"The song shows us a Dr. Dog stripped of their psychedelic pageantry, leaving a sound you can nuzzle up to, feeling the warmth of their sweet Philadelphia soul." – The Wild Honey Pie
