While researching “She Loves You” on YouTube last night, I came across this little gem of a cover from the year 1980, on the Lawrence Welk Show: Some facebook friends commented that the Welk video beats even the loathsome William Shatner cover of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” And I would have to add Sebastian Cabot’s version of the Bob Dylan tune “It Ain’t Me Babe” to the mix. Which is the worst? Cast your vote in comments.

The Chef Sleeve is a plastic wrapping originally designed to help cooks prevent their iPads from getting hit by a splash of this and a dash of that. The plastic is compatible with the touch screen, provides basic protection, and won’t require you to sterilize it before bringing it home from the hospital. At $20 for 25 sleeves, your new baby can get the basic protection it deserves.

First it was smart phones, then laptops, and now iPads. Having been in these meetings and seeing the reactions of participants, I can report the following. 1. Cell Phones: Generally meeting participants have a disdain for people talking on their cellphones in meetings. People are encouraged to “take it outside” to continue their conversations. Reading e-mail in usually tolerated, but in many cases all electronic devices are to be turned off. 2. Laptop Computers: This is a recent addition and one that can be very obtrusive to others. If the whole room has laptops, the units are tolerated, but usually the covers are to be closed when the meeting is running and someone is speaking...

I waited 3 hours in line and I got the last unit in the store. Since it was the last one, I didn’t have to make any decisions on which one to get. It’s white with 16 gig memory, wi-fi only. After using it for a week, I’ve found some things that I really like about the unit that have really changed the way I work with technology. I’ve tried some different programs and have come to the conclusion that there are at least four and a half reasons you should consider buying one. 1. Garage Band: This is without a doubt one of the best programs you can buy for the iPad.

To take the best known examples, studies have suggested that being grateful can improve well-being, physical health, can strengthen social relationships, produce positive emotional states and help us cope with stressful times in our lives. But we also say thank you because we want the other person to know we value what they’ve done for us and, maybe, encourage them to help us again in the future. It’s this aspect of gratitude that Adam M. Grant and Francesco Gino examine in a series of new studies published recently in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (Grant & Gino, 2010). They wanted to see what effect gratitude has o...

If you are new here and/or have not yet joined the Facebook group I created in support of the Breastfeeding Promotion Act of 2009, please consider doing so! Lots of carnival participants have shared their own stories and advice about nursing in public (see links at the end of this post), but first I would like to discuss the issue of whether women should or should not cover themselves with a nursing cover while breastfeeding in public. At first it might seem like a non-issue. I think most breastfeeding advocates would agree that women should not be told that they must cover themselves while nursing, but if a mother feels more comfortable using a cover, then she should use one — whatever it takes to...

We Do. This month marks the 45th anniversary of the first number-one hit by The Beatles in the United States. The song was “Love Me Do.”) It’s the rare cover that matches or supercedes the original (Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley comes to mind) but that’s not what I seek on YouTube. Some performers take a song and “make it their own.” Others do impressive, if slavish, reproductions of the originals. Others make up in sincerity, charm or passion what they lack in skill. In case you’re wondering, the reason I like covers is because they represent a kind of universal language. And because you can listen to a song you love only so many times before you get sick of it — unless you’re listening to a ne...

Like Blackbird, “Moon River” is covered so often on YouTube that one must check back now and then. Among the new performers are a singer from Romania, a couple from Italy and the first little girl I’ve ever thought skilled enough to feature here. Also a singer/guitarist who’s quite good, but he appears to be performing on a stage set for The Importance of Being Earnest or maybe Arsenic and Old Lace. Ah, the joys of being a folksinger on the college circuit! At least he was paid. Probably.

Fans of “Suddenly…Sudan” will recognize James’ familiar voice, the people he met, and selected blog excerpts which structure the book.

It seems the entire world loves this simple, beautiful song. But try finding a cover that does justice to the original, which was written by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer for Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. By her own admission, Hepburn could not carry a tune, so she performed “Moon River” in a breathy, conversational style. Even so, songwriter Mercer considered Hepburn’s version to be the definitive one amid dozens of hits by the biggest names in show business. Many of the video tributes to Hepburn, who died of cancer on January 20, 1993, play “Moon River” over images from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. But in her personal life the actress had little in common with the troubled call girl crea...

What I really wanted Maura O’Connell’s haunting version on her 1994 CD Just in Time, but that wasn’t on YouTube. And a while back, when I went looking for “Wild Mountain Thyme,” it was a gentle amateur’s version that blew away the pros. Not surprisingly, many of the “I Will” covers by unknowns were off-key. But of the singers that weren’t, I thought each had a unique beauty. (For the record Ross Copperman is apparently not an unknown. I’m just out of the loop.)

Good question Jim, and thanks for raising it. I hadn’t thought of that aspect.  Would the results have been more intelligent had the roundtable welcomed opposing views to this violent image’s impact?

Their op-ed discussed “source amnesia,” which refers to our brains’ tendency to remember information but not its source. Put another way, we are surprisingly prone to remembering that which we initially perceive as incredible, including satire and lies, as true. Wang and Aamodt discussed source amnesia in the context of lies about Senator Barack Obama that a surprising number of Americans believes, such as the lie that he is Muslim when in fact he is Christian. Given source amnesia, we can understand the Obama camp’s stern rebuke of the upcoming cover of the New Yorker. What do you think about the cover?

Drugs such as bupivacaine are administered into the epidural space in the spine rather than into a vein but, in any case, Cabrera would not have normally been given an epidural after giving birth.Mr Cabrera, 38, who also worked as a technician at the hospital, was told immediately afterwards that she died from an embolism - a clot.

Today, I have arrived at two new thoughts.1. There was a time when I wanted a tan. I'd accept a burn even, in hopes it would turn to the slightest shade of brown on my pasty white skin. I would search high and low for the sun. I would drive in its direction, bask in its glory, give hours of my day to this crazy pursuit. Somehow, though, achieving a tan -- or burn -- wasn't easy.
