Rapper and Artist Collaborate on a Children's Book for Adults

By Administrator

Rapper Aesop Rock and illustrator Jeremy Fish have collaborated on a new limited-edition book aimed at adults but crafted as an old-school children's book, complete with a seven-inch record that tells the reader when to turn the page with the beat. Entitled The Next Best Thing, the Upper Playground release deals with the "creative block" that all artists go through. Fish's artwork is amazing - check out (http://www.sillypinkbunnies.com) - and catch his work on tour this summer and fall in art galleries in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Philadelphia.

Adding and overriding an event

By Administrator
Every week Bob and his team have a conference call on Monday at 10am. He must now create the event. He logs into the calendar and clicks on the Month tab. From there he clicks on the 'Add' link for the next Monday to come. The title of this event is 'Team Conference Call' This is of the event type 'Call' The call starts at 10am and usually lasts about an hour

This call will repeat every week and not end in the foreseeable future



Bob clicks 'Save' and can now see his meeting in the calendar



A few weeks later, Bob's boss has scheduled a meeting with him next month on a Monday at 10am. Bob now has to change his team meeting call. Not knowing how long the meeting with his boss will last, he decides to move his team call for that week to Tuesday. He navigates to the date and clicks on the event to view it. Then clicks the 'Edit' button.



He selects 'This date only' as he only wants to change the date of this meeting in particular. He sets the date one day ahead so that it happens on Tuesday and clicks 'Save'



He then realizes his team may not notice the change. Bob edits the event for that date again. He clicks on 'Flag This Event' so that it will be more noticeable to his team members. Bob clicks 'Save' again and sees his meeting is now flagged.



Should Bob's boss cancel their meeting, Bob could reset that instance of the event to it's original state

Notifications

By Administrator
Event notification is a powerful tool that allows you to be informed of updates or additions to a calendar. These are based on notification filters. To configure notifications, click on options at the footer of the calendar, then select the Notifications tab. Note that you must first have at least a primary e-mail address configured in your Contact Options.



To create a notification, click on the Add button at the top of the table. A window will appear that will allow you to search for the calendar you wish to receive notifications for. Click on the Add button next to the calendar and it will be inserted into your notifications list with the default settings.

Once inserted, you may configure a name for your notification filter. This is simply a friendly name used only on this screen so that you may quickly identify filters in the list. You may then configure a category, and title filter (case insesitive). If an event is added or updated in the calendar that matches the criteria in a notification filter, you will receive an e-mail notification.



Note that the display format of the e-mail notification will differ based on your Theme setting.

If an added or updated event matches multiple filters that have the same e-mail address, you will only receive one e-mail. For instance, you may have one filter that checks for the category of Meeting, and another that checks for any event titles that contain 'meeting'. This way you are sure to receive notification of meetings added to that calendar without receiving duplicate e-mails.

Alt Country from Outer Space: Burnt Ends, "Trip the Dandy"

By Administrator

If you never stretch, you'll never know what your limits are. Muscatine band Burnt Ends stretches a lot, and - as the group's new album Trip the Dandy nears its end - finds its limit. To put it bluntly: On an otherwise sure-footed album that rarely plays it safe, the rapping was a terrible choice - incongruous and baffling.

By Administrator

We wish to express our deep appreciation and gratitude for the generous coverage of One River Mississippi provided by the River Cities' Reader. The article, photos, map, and survey printed in the June 21 issue provided clear and accurate information. The cover was dynamite, as well! The countdown ads that began in May helped to create early interest in this event. Thanks for being with us every step of the way.

Palmer College Receives Challenge Grant

By Administrator

On June 26, Palmer College of Chiropractic received a letter from Kresge Foundation President and CEO John E. Marshall III announcing that the college had been awarded a $750,000 challenge grant for bricks-and-mortar funding from the foundation. The grant is being awarded to assist the college in reaching its capital-campaign goal of $35 million. Including the Kresge grant, the college has raised more than $31 million in cash and pledges, and the campaign was on-track to reach its $35-million goal by the end of the year. The Kresge funds will be dedicated solely to the construction of the Chiropractic Learning Resource Center (CLRC) on the Davenport campus. The CLRC will be a three-story building (with approximately 50,000 square feet of space) located on the east side of Brady Street on the Palmer campus. The new CLRC and its progressive-clinic facility will further enhance the education students receive at Palmer College of Chiropractic and offer expanded chiropractic-clinic services to patients in the community. Work is scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2007.
