Buddy Boy has decided that he likes the clarinet, and wants to play in the school band. For 5th grade music, students have a choice of either taking a "normal" music class, or participating in the band. Buddy Boy chose the band. He wanted to do this when school started, and he wants to do this now.Bad News! We came home to find this letter:"Buddy Boy" is not finding much success in band. He is able to play alone when we do solos, but when the whole group plays, he is not able to focus on what we are doing and participate. He is often taking apart and putting together his clarinet. When he does play with the group, he is overblowing and squeaking quite often. He is probably trying to play louder so he can hear himself, but this causes him to have a poor tone and squeak. "Buddy Bo...

One was the bill I took the time to ask my state senators to support — SB 257 the Pavley-Employee Notification/Lactation Accommodation that would have required state entities to inform pregnant employees about the existing California law that requires workplace lactation accommodation. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Image: Zuma PressGovernor Schwarzenegger believed that there was not adequate evidence that mothers are not aware of their right to workplace lactation accommodation. However, the California WIC Association sponsored the bill in the first place because it found that state agencies do not always advise pregnant women of their rights and ...

Does one more phone call to a state senator tip the scales in favor of a piece of legislation? When I received an email message urging me to call my California state legislators to support a breastfeeding bill, I contemplated those questions. Photo by Ana SchaefferPolitical activism is important to me. Breastfeeding is important to me. So I took a few minutes to read the bill, SB 257, which would require state entities to inform pregnant employees about the existing California law that requires workplace lactation accommodation. After all, what use is the protection if women are unaware of their rights? Then, I (overcame my irksome phone phobia and) called the numbers for two state senators. All it took was 30 seconds per call to leave the following simple...

And when they start work, most of them have no alternative but to live for at least part of the week in hospital accommodation.  The hours may not be as long as they were but the shift system still means unsociable start and finishing times and that makes commuting difficult. Rotating jobs means it is impossible to settle in one area. Buy...

Today, for instance,  an email from Linda caught my eye and summoned a response.  A Canadian college student, Linda, splashed serotonin from her email into my busy day … for two reasons. First, I’m intrigued by the sheer sense of curiosity that peppered her post.She wrote that in her course … “Adults with Learning Disabilities” … she saw Multiple Intelligences Theory as a tool for adult learning. She’d referenced my work … “Curriculum for Success” … which is part of a series I wrote for Channel 13 Professional Developme...

A physician must pass at least the first two steps prior to starting their residency training. This test is usually taken one year prior to completing one's medical school education. That way, if you are not successful the first time, you have another chance to take the exam the following year, prior to starting residency. Evidently Dr. Currier took the test when she was 8.5 months pregnant the first time, an... Club 166 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=889609 Fri, 21 Sep 2007 02:31:00 +0100 889609
