I’m struggling with something to write, I’ve been so focused on Supervision topics and Ethics topics I can’t think straight any longer (and worrying about this Innovation paper, little scared I’m not going to be able to cover all the topics I’m supposed to).
I’ll tell you what I’ve been doing outside of school lately, which might spark some ideas (ha, being innovative already). I’ve been doing some work on http://www.ancestry.com/ (be careful, it's addictive). Now there is an innovative website. Who would’ve thought you could actually find out who your ancestors were by studying census records and immigration records dating back to the 1800’s? What an invention! When someone thought of that, were they told it would be impossible to get all that information to be so accessible? It gets better all the time.
Another thing I’ve been doing is, as I’ve already told you, been innovative with my budget and cooking. I made a bacon quiche (was supposed to be seafood or ham, but we only had bacon). Didn’t turn out so bad, though my husband did NOT want to eat it at first…he finished off ALL the rest of it, by the way. Let me know if you want the recipe.
Which brings me to another “sore” subject, my braces – who on earth thought of those? How did they know they were going to work? How did they discover that if they remove or pull this tooth over here, the rest would follow…and not fall out? How many times did they fail before it worked? Apparently it dates back even before Hippocrates and Aristotle. It amazes me every time I go to the orthodontist; he takes a look & tells the girl (the one with her whole hand in my mouth) what to do. I think it makes no sense at all, but even after a few months, I can see the shift and the direction he wants my teeth to go. How amazing is that? Now if they could only come up with a way to reduce the time it takes. Check out the history of braces website if you're curious. http://www.archwired.com/HistoryofOrtho.htm
What else, I’ve been reading Roger Von Oech’s blog. I’ve decided that he’s either completely genius or insane…or…both. But it’s definitely interesting and stimulating. http://blog.creativethink.com/ if you haven’t checked it out yet, though it’s pretty much insight from the book & the Whack Pack.

Lori-I love how you can go from one topic to the next in one even flow and still make it interesting.
From Wendy
Yeah, just like most medical advances, braces had to go through the same growing pains. The first time they attempted surgery, I'm sure it went horribly wrong. Trial and error...although if you're the guy they "errored" on, well the only thing you can say is they took one for the team. It is amazing to think though that by just turning a few screws every so often that they can get teeth to move around (albeit a little painfully). Too bad I can't put screws in my head to straighten things up there. Oh wait,they did that 300 years ago...It didn't go over well with the patients.
