ALEXANDRIA, VA. (October 11, 2012) – The National Parent Teacher Association (PTA®) and Lifetouch National School Studios formed a partnership in which Lifetouch serves as the official photographer for the association. The organizations released a joint video for PTA members that detail the relationship. The video can be viewed at www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS4zpuKViww.
"It is with great admiration for the tradition of school photography, that I announce a new partnership with Lifetouch, the school photographers who have chronicled school children, schoolhouses and school days for nearly eighty years. In the year of our 115th anniversary, it is only fitting that we should acknowledge the important role school photography plays in the building and reinforcing of self-esteem in the children we serve throughout this nation," said Betsy Landers, National PTA President.
Lifetouch believes this new alliance with National PTA will strengthen the partnerships it has developed nationally with superintendents, principals and other organizations dedicated to serving every child with a united voice for education. The longstanding tradition of school "Picture Day" takes on a new relevance as educators and school families find new ways to collaborate. Through this partnership, National PTA will be able to activate a new membership card, complete with added member benefits and online collaboration, amplifying the voice of moms and dads everywhere. The high-quality, professional membership cards, produced by Lifetouch, will help National PTA better serve grassroots members nationwide.
"As we begin this new partnership," stated Nancy M. Dahl, president and COO of Lifetouch National School Studios, "we acknowledge that we are 'better together' as we mutually support the children and families we serve."
Last year, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C., accepted a Lifetouch school camera into their collection. At the acceptance ceremony, Smithsonian officials said that Lifetouch helps to tell the story of the American family.
National PTA® comprises millions of families, students, teachers,administrators, and business and community leaders devoted to the educational success of children and the promotion of parent involvement in schools. PTA is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit association that prides itself on being a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and communities, and a strong advocate for public education. Membership in PTA is open to anyone who wants to be involved and make a difference for the education, health, and welfare of children and youth.

Total Time – 58:17
Since 1972, the Scorpions have been creating their own style of Heavy Metal/Hard Rock with great success. Over the last 35 years, the band has been to the heights of success in any ever-changing musical landscape. There have been changes to the overall Scorpions sound to continue to stay fresh but the band has always retained the basis of their sound: the twin guitar attack (Schenker & Jabs) and the superb vocals of Klaus Meine. After almost a decade of experimentation with their sound, the Scorpions released UNBREAKABLE in 2004, an album that returned the band to their classic sound. After this solid return to form, the German quintet has released the concept laden HUMANITY HOUR 1 to continue their journey.
HUMANITY HOUR 1 is a concept album about the future fall of mankind by our own actions. In an age where the world is more aware of our mortality and the changing environment, this album is amuch a reflection of our current times as it is a prophecy of possible consequences to come.
Right from the beginning, 'Hour 1' kicks the album into high gear with a pulsating drums from James Kottak and buzzsaw guitars from Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs. It's a little modern, Scorpions circa 2007, but it sounds like it could fit on SAVAGE AMUSEMENT (1988) or even FACE THE HEAT (1993). 'Hour 1' sets the tone for the album and proves that Klaus Meine hasn't lost a step vocally.
'The Game Of Life' is more of the same modern feel combined with classic Scorpions. I like the subdued guitar throughout the song until the chorus kicks in and the guitars come alive. That subdued guitar during the verses lets Meine be the focus and you immeadiately can hear how strong his voice still is after so many years. This is a song tailor made for the live setting.
The Scorpions are kings of the mid-tempo song and 'We Were Born To Fly' fits nicely within this realm of expertise. An updated sound and soaring guitars really drive this song. I get a sad feeling when I hear this song even though the message is of hope. The music is emotional and shows definite quality.
Add piano and orchestration to the guitar base and 'The Future Never Dies' becomes a classic Scorpions ballad that could have easily fit on PURE INSTINCT (1996) or UNBREAKABLE (2004). The band experimented with this type of sound on the two live albums: MOMENT OF GLORY (2000) & ACOUSTICA (2001). Their experience with these extra sounds makes this song a standout.
'You're Lovin' Me To Death' is a harder mid-tempo track that is fully guitar laden and the bass driven. I like the fact that Powel Maciwoda's bass is a little more prominent in the mix here because it adds structure to the main riff. This is a good song but I feel like I've heard it already.
Did Zakk Wylde join the Scorpions? I only ask because the main riff and guitar "squeal" in '321' is very Black Label Society/Wylde-era Ozzy. I'm not complaining because '321' is one of my favorites on this record and I could see this song getting major airplay now AND back in the band's '80s heyday. A melodic riff rocker that you just know translates well in concert.
Ballad #2 comes in with 'Love Will Keep Us Alive' and it is another winner. Vocally, Klaus is at his peak, a fine performance. I'm a sucker for acoustic guitar and it is done very well alongside the electric. It's a beautiful piece that could easily be put up against other Scorpions ballads like 'Send Me An Angel' or 'Always Somewhere'. Another strong song, another favorite.
'We Will Rise Again' is another slow, mid-tempo number that is very balladesque until it picks up in the chorus. Very heavy yet melodic…..a theme throughout the album. I like the guitar solo: it's melodic and driving but it doesn't overpower the song.
'Your Last Song' opens with a nice guitar intro and pushes into another mid-tempo piece with an acoustic base. This song borders on being ballad #3 and reminds me of the songs on Def Leppard's 2002 album, X. It's a melodic update on the signature Scorpions sound, how this song isn't getting airplay is crime, this should easily be a single. Another favorite.
The guitar intro to 'Love Is War' signals another mid-tempo/ballad. Again, an acoustic base and subdued electric guitar until the chorus picks up a bit. After so many slower songs, many listeners might be sick of the style. However, the Scorpions do this better than anyone and they have another strong track that has power in the chorus but retains the melody. The solo is top notch and you can't help but pick up the catchy chorus, another potential single.
Alternative and almost Nu-Metal stylings are present in 'The Cross'. The song is faster than the last few and there is a little of that Zakk Wylde type of guitar (I can hear that "squeal" again). I could do without Billy Corgan's (Smashing Pumpkins) mid-song vocals, I think Klaus could do it better. Corgan is a good fit as a backing vocalist on this song but he is just unnecessary here on lead. This is another strong song but I'm not feeling it as much as I should, most likely because Corgan is associated with it and I can't stand him, his band, or his style of music.
The first single and video off the album is 'Humanity' and it is immeadiately a Scorpions classic. It's mid-tempo and picks up just before the chorus. I really enjoy the guitars and vocals here and I could envision this coming from any album after 1984. I also think the orchestration or keyboards add a lush sound that expands the song, making it sound really good. The guitar solo follows the basic melody and is done beautifully.
'Cold' is the bonus track for the official U.S. release (available only at Best Buy) and it is driven by a pulsating bass and drum sound. The guitars cut out for the vocal and slowly come in to layer the song. It's another modern take on the classic Scorpions song. It doesn't seem to fit the overall concept and feel of the album overall but it is a solid add-on. Sounds like a song that should have been on the previous album, UNBREAKABLE (2004).
Bottom Line:
This is a great album ny a legendary band, probably the biggest surprise of 2007. HUMANITY HOUR 1 blends current modern trends and the classic Scorpions Hard Rock sound to create an album rich with emotion and melody. There is talk from members of the band that this could possibly be the band's last studio album and I think that would be a terrible mistake. After experimenting thoughout the late '90s and early '00s, the Scorpions have released one of the strongest records of their career, making them as important as ever to the Heavy Metal/Hard Rock scene.
Favorites here: the whole album, although 'You're Lovin' Me To Death', 'Cold', and 'The Cross' are the ones I'm not too keen on. These three are strong songs but I'm just not feeling them, maybe they will grow on me. This album definitely leaps into my Top Albums of 2007.

The newer versions of CAMMaster will assign midpoint status to vias differently than previous versions.
We refer here to holes that connect two plane circuits from different layers.
Some of these holes need to be tested and some don't. This will be reflected in the netlist files output by whether the points will be endpoints or midpoints.
First, note that there is a very useful midpoint inspection tool in CAMMaster. This is useful after extracting a netlist.
After activating this tool one can click over a padstack and see the midpoint / endpoint state of all in the status line:
For drill holes that you don't want tested and that go through plane areas, make sure that there are no covering pads on either the CPU or CPL layers.
These pads will be invisible because the will are covered by the plane (either a polygon or a fill with traces).
To delete these pads, use the "Select by intersection" tool.
This is a very powerful tool and once you learn how to use it, it is not difficult to use.
To delete covering pads on CPU (same can be done on CPL).
(1) FIrst select only pads in CPU
(2) Then add to this selection all of one of the internal plane layers (one that has matching circuit area for the plane circuitry)
(3) Now run the "Select by intersection" like this:
where the "Destination layer" is CPU and the "Reference layer" is the plane layer.
(4) Pads will be selected and can be deleted
If one runs the netlist extract now, the holes that were covered by these pads whill have midpoint status and they will not be tested on the tester side.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK- What's the greatest online danger facing teens?
Rachel Orme:"I think it's My Space and chat rooms that kids go to because that's where a lot of the predators go to get the kids they want to harass."
Janet Dix: "I think the greatest online danger is adult male predators who are disguising themselves as other people and who prey on young women."
Matthew Simon: "I guess the greatest danger is that whenever they post something, they're not really sure exactly who sees it, so the perception of what they say might be totally misinterpreted."
9 comments
Their own peers....the predators are fewer in numbers.
Irresponsible parents that let their kids online without supervision in the first place!
Being on line and not conversing with others in person for the same amount of time....never learning the skill of the verbal conversation and thinking
Same as in the business world- using emails to say something to someone 10 ft away......hiding behind the keyboard somehow makes it seems "safe".
They might see some boobies or weiners by mistake
The current POTUS!
Belmont Yo, without a doubt.

The Redford government is restoring the link between education property tax and actual school spending, with tax reforms that could raise rates for everyone in the future — and sharply pinch some residents immediately.
The new budget policy that property tax will cover 32 per cent of the Education ministry's operating budget could deliver across-the-board tax hikes in future years, if school spending continues to rise.
"If you increase the education funding because there are salary demands — through the roof — well, 32 per cent of that will come on to your tax bill," Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths said in an interview Thursday.
"It raises public awareness of the cost, of the money that we spend on education, and if costs go up they're going to very realistically feel it."
Education property taxes were connected to actual school budgets back in the early 1990s, when school boards controlled that tax rate. There's been no connection since.
But this year, the average Calgary homeowner will pay $40 less in provincial property tax. That's because the province announced plans to end a "mitigation formula" that sheltered properties in 11 rapid-growth towns from assessment and tax spikes, at the expense of other cities and towns.
A homeowner in Chestermere, one of the most protected communities under the mitigation program, paid $770 in provincial property tax on a $485,000 home, according to Alberta Municipal Affairs. The owner of a $448,000 home in Calgary paid $1,212.
Closing the gap will mean homes of equal value will pay equal taxes anywhere in Alberta. For some of the most harshly affected communities — including Chestermere and Fort McMurray — the changes will gradually take effect over a couple of years.
While the province is taking less from Calgary property taxes this year, it's unlikely that will actually reach the wallets of homeowners. If the provincial property tax hike is lower than the city's, Calgary council's policy is to absorb that "tax room" and hike the city tax rate to spend on recreation, parks and fire projects.

Luba Lusherovich, 77, was found in the Norris Canyon area after 185 search and rescue personnel from nine counties converged on San Ramon to help find her.
Lusherovich walked away from her family's home near Bollinger Canyon Road and Marsh Drive, and efforts to find her grew more urgent as the days passed.
Kelsey Lusherovich, Luba Lusherovich's granddaughter-in-law, said the family was notified that the elderly relative had been found and that she was taken to a hospital to be evaluated but is expected to be OK. The younger woman said the older woman was conscious and talking, but dehydrated.
"I'm ecstatic; frankly, this is a miracle," she said. "She had no food, no money, no water … I don't know how much more miraculous it could get."
San Ramon police Sgt. Hollis Tong said she was found near a creek on Norris Canyon Road. Search and rescue dogs from the California Rescue Dogs Association first found a shoe, then a piece of clothing.
The handlers notified the command post at 2:15 p.m. that the dogs had picked up her scent and followed it to a house, where they found her, conscious and smiling, Tong said.
It was Ammo's first find, said handler Sonya Roth of her yellow Labrador retriever. "I was so excited I was shaking when we found her," Roth said. "That thrill … that's why we do this. Ammo may have saved her life."
Search-and-rescue crews from Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, Marin, Sonoma, Solano, San Mateo, Napa and Sacramento counties concentrated their search Saturday near the hilly area of Norris Canyon Road, near Castro Valley, and near the family home, Tong said.
There had been concerns that Lusherovich, a friendly European immigrant who once helped to teach kindergartners in Walnut Creek and Pleasanton, may have left the area, even though she left home without money. She also was without her medications, Tong said.
A police officer saw her on Norris Canyon Road as it heads toward Castro Valley around 2 p.m. Wednesday, but police had not yet been notified that Lusherovich was missing.
Police grew more worried as the days ticked by without finding her. More than 100 civilian volunteers came out Saturday to help search. "Everyone from all walks of life came out to find Luba," Tong said. "Time was of the essence."

In last month's Volatility Advisor blog posting, we discussed the impact of equity correlations on option. Since 2008, many sectors' correlations to the broader market remained at elevated levels. In early 2013, correlations began to deconstruct as fundamentals and demand for yield drove a wedge into those historical relationships.
This month we will dive into specific implied volatilities determined by the options market in an effort to demonstrate the dispersion that volatility traders witnessed in the first half of the year. The options market is a great place to assess the forward-looking estimation of the overall market as well as expectations of underlying sectors and their correlations to the market. When trying to determine value from an options perspective, one must have a sense of historical correlations across various time periods and the propensity for mean-reversion over time.
At the turn of the year, the Fiscal Cliff 'resolution' caused option premiums to decline as fear subsided. When the equity market shot out of the gates in January, any covered call investor was short volatility, which in hindsight was much too cheap. Seen in the table below, the option market implied normalized returns of +/- 5% – 10% for the subsequent quarter in most sectors 1 of the economy, as measured by the SPDR ETFs. For example, the S&P 500 implied a one standard deviation move of 8.08% in Q1, yet returned 10.6%, which indicated a probability of occurrence of 9.48%. More surprisingly, the defensive sectors—Health Care, Consumer Staples and Utilities—produced returns that were over two standard deviations wider than expected. The run-up in Consumer Staples was so dramatic that its probability was less than one percent.
In other words, a quarterly return of 14.52% in Staples would occur once out of 142 quarters or once every 36 years! Clearly, it would have been better to be long stock as opposed to writing calls during that period.
During Q2, the implied volatility landscape began to shift. Not only did nearly all implied volatilities narrow relative to Q1, but actual results were drastically different. All sectors, as indicated by their corresponding ETFs, were closer to their implied volatilities than at the close of the first quarter. No single segment of the market exhibited greater than a one standard deviation move prior to expiration in June.
In comparison to Q1, the S&P 500 returned 2.91% during Q2, though the implied option return estimated a +/- 6.26% return. In its simplest form, this differential demonstrates the value of trading volatility, not only in sector ETFs, but also in individual names when realized returns from options come in below that which is implied by call premiums.
(*Implied volatility move indicates one standard deviation move (+/-) in the underlying ETF during 2Q 2013)
The market prognosticators share several views on the reasons for strong market returns in the first six months of the year; however, option writers would point to the relative risk premium that was taken in many leading sectors of the market and admit that it was not worth the premium received. In addition, as sector Betas began to normalize in Q2, volatility traders were able to capture more of the implied volatilities of options written than in Q1. What does this all mean for a volatility strategist? First, it demonstrates the value of diversification across sectors. Second, it portends the need to focus on a consistent process and not attempt to time the path of the markets. Finally, it comes back to understanding that Beta and correlation are long-term and mean-reverting.
The takeaway? Developing a strategy to capitalize on these short-term inefficiencies requires a historical perspective on the nature of sector Betas and implied volatility.

Father, daughter are 'do gooders'
Fifteen-year-old Sophia Chiravelli, a sophomore at Immaculate High School in Danbury, is the kind of teenager who is always looking for ways to help out.
Sophia and her father, James, a diesel technician, were on their way home in Newtown when they spotted a man struggling with a tree that had fallen across his driveway.
Sophia, a member of her local church's "Do Gooders" club, asked her father to go home and get his tools so he could double back and help the man remove the tree. Chiravelli did just that.
He returned with a flatbed truck and a chain saw and asked if he could help.
The homeowners, whom he didn't know, thought he would want a fee, or at least the wood. He wanted neither.
"There are a lot of nice people out there doing things because it's the right thing to do," Sybil Blau, the homeowner said. "Just a lot of kind-hearted, generous people, and they deserve praise."

Silence and danger; stark, foreboding mystery, and the wonders of a truly alien world. Eric Chahi's Another World stands as one of the great video games of the 1990's, a testament to the power of one man's creative vision. It was a game that was so far ahead of its time that many of today's releases still haven't caught up. And now, it's available on both iPhone and iPad.
Originally released in 1991 for the Amiga, Chahi's game has seen numerous ports, updates, and even a 15th anniversary PC release back in 2006. This release feels special, particularly given the platform—some combination of the bleak yet colorful artwork and the simple control scheme lends itself to iOS devices, particulalry the iPad. In a nice nod to history, publisher Bulkypix has elected to drop the North American "Out of this World" moniker and sell the game under its original title.
Another World is a side-scrolling platforming game, for the most part. Its story is as simple as it is haunting, largely because it is told without a word of spoken dialogue. A physicist arrives at his lab late at night during a thunderstorm and fires up his particle accelerator, only to have a rogue lightning bolt throw an electro-charged monkey wrench into his well-planned operation. After an explosion, he is instantly teleported to a wild and overwhelmingly hostile alien planet. The story that follows starts out as a simple struggle to survive but gradually morphs into something far more strange, affecting, and lovely.
While Another World may share a few properties with Mario, it is at its heart more of a puzzle game than an action platformer. That's largely because it is immensely difficult—players will die early and repeatedly, and trial-and-error remains the best way to learn how to proceed. It feels frustrating at first, but eventually you'll get into the rhythm of it, trying different things until finally learning the way to proceed.
Another World was developed almost entirely by one man, and that singular vision is apparent throughout the entire game. At this year's Game Developers' Conference, creator Eric Chahi gave a wonderful post-mortem on the game, during which it became clear that as he struggled to complete it, he was also building himself into it. (You can now watch the entire thing for free at the GDC Vault.)
Chahi rotoscoped himself into many scenes in the game, and even went so far as to suggest that he put red hair onto the protagonist so that it wouldn't look exactly like him. As the game developer Matthew Burns pointed out in his write-up of the talk, "Play Another World and, in a way, you are playing as Éric Chahi as he makes Another World."
So: I'm not going to actually write a review of Another World here. It's the same quiet, beautiful experience it has always been. The 20-year-old graphics have been slightly smoothed out and up-res'd, and they look smashingly good on the iPad (which is the version I played). As is the case with many recent re-releases, players are given the option to switch back and forth between the updated graphics and the original lower-resolution graphics at the touch of a button. The game offers both integrated touch-screen controls and an on-screen D-pad. Both options work fine, though I thought the integrated touch-controls were a shade easier to manage. The classic sound effects and synthy soundtrack have been digitally remastered and sound better than ever.
The fact that Another World has been released in over a dozen formats over the years says a good deal about its enduring quality. While there may never be a "definitive" version, this iOS version feels as close as we've yet come, and is a terrific reason to revisit an aesthetically stirring piece of gorgeous game design.
Another World is available via iTunes for $4.99 USD for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

At age 69, Lloyd Irvin Taylor appears to have led a full life.
A former CPA and a former lawyer, the San Diego man once ran unsuccessfully for county supervisor in San Francisco. He's traveled a lot, too: Budapest, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Berlin.
A lot of that travel, however, has been done on fake passports, taken out in one of the eight stolen identities Taylor has used since at least the mid-1980s, according to federal prosecutors in San Diego. Most of the fake identities belonged to children in the Bay Area who died decades earlier, in the 1950s, the prosecutors said.
Taylor pleaded not guilty Thursday to three charges of making false statements on passport applications.
He was ordered detained without bond by U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Majors. Prosecutors said Taylor should be held in jail because of the chance he could flee, using one of the several passports he has and his apparent substantial wealth.
Since Taylor's arrest April 5 at his Pacific Beach home, federal authorities have seized some $1.8 million in gold that he owned — a portion of what was described as his "considerable assets."
Those assets apparently were kept in more than two dozen bank accounts, some of them in accounts in the names of the stolen identities of the deceased children Taylor used, prosecutors said. Other money was in accounts of what prosecutors described as "purported religious entities" that Taylor also controlled.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Mazza declined to describe those accounts further because the case is ongoing.
Knut Johnson, Taylor's lawyer who was just hired on to the case, also said he could not comment extensively on it.
A criminal complaint filed for Taylor's arrest said that investigators believe that in the mid-1980s he stole the identities of six Bay Area children, all of whom died in the 1950s, when Taylor was living in the San Francisco area.
He had a CPA license from 1970 to 1987, and was a lawyer and member of the State Bar from 1973 to 1988.
The complaint said he obtained passports under the names of each of the deceased children in 1986 and 1987, and renewed four of them two more times in 1997 and 2003, the complaint said.
What he was doing with all of the passports is not clear and is not spelled out in the complaint or the indictment.
Each of the applications for the passports contained numerous false statements, prosecutors said, such as the place and date of birth, father's name, and so on.
Taylor, who affirmed in court that his real name and true identity is Lloyd Irvin Taylor, may also face additional charges as the case goes on. The passport fraud charges each carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

Is Apple working on a wristwatch computer? The Cupertino, Calif. company is working on a wristwatch-like device with curved glass for use on the iOS platform, according to reports.
A wristwatch phone or computer isn't a new invention, especially since we think it first showed up in a Dick Tracy comic strip. There have also been a few Android phone watches developed in the last couple of years, including ones from Sony and Italian startup I'm Watch, so an iOS version in the works isn't surprising. So far the account comes from two unnamed sources, according to the New York Times.
The wearable iPhone or computer may be better now because Gorilla Glass has created bendable glass. Reports also say that it could have a 1.5-inch display and Bluetooth. And, according to Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps, wearable computers are making the human body "a rich canvas for the computer."Gene Munster, analyst at Piper Jaffray, also said the wrist device would be well-suited for emerging markets.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Now that Google has come up with Google Glass, Apple must follow suit. After all, Apple is a hardware maker and it can't let Google and Android come up with a mainstream wearable computer without a rival.

Theophilus II (Pankostas) of Alexandria
Theophilus II (Pankostas) of Alexandria was the Patriarch of Alexandria of the Church of Alexandria from 1805 to 1825.
Patriarch Theophilus II, a nephew of Patriarch Parthenios II of Alexandria whom he succeeded on the Patriarchal throne, was born on the island of Patmos. The date of his birth and activities of his early life are unknown. Theophilus served as patriarch during the time Mohammed Ali served as viceroy of Egypt. In a political atmosphere of dramatic reforms in the military, economic, and cultural spheres that Mohammed Ali instituted, Patr. Theophilos encouraged the immigration of Greeks to Egypt. Supporting the immigration, he founded a Greek school and hospital and thus strengthened the revival of the Church of Alexandria in Egypt.
When he became ill in 1812, Patr. Theophilus moved back to Patmos to recuperate. While there he was initiated into the Society of Friends (Filiki Eteria), a secret organization dedicated to the overthrow of Ottoman rule over Greece and the establishment of an independent Greek state. When the Greek Revolution began during the 1820s, Patr. Theophilus again returned to Patmos where he remained during the struggle for independence.
As Theophilus remained away from Alexandria and was not fulfilling his duties, the Ottoman government objected to his lengthy absence and pressed the Patriarchate in Constantinople to take action against him. On October 14, 1825, Patriarch Chrysanthus convened a synod in Constantinople which suspended Theophilos from his duties as patriarch of Alexandria.
After his deposition,Theophilos remained on Patmos until his repose on January 24, 1833.

Rockero necesitaba un nuevo diseño de camiseta y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 67 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
Lightning Licks dot com is the website for SOR Long Island Central Hendrix Show
I'm the music director for the Hendrix Show Spring 2010 concert presented by the School of Rock Long Island Central campus. 20–25 kids (ages 8–16) will be performing a 2-hour Tribute to Jimi Hendrix Concert. This is the semester finale show where the friends and family get to see them play. I would like to provide concert t-shirts as a memento of the show.
This is mostly for the kids performing in the show, their parents and friends.
Basic concert t-shirt: The design and lettering will be white and the t-shirt will be black. Please see attached PNGs.
We're looking for a cartoony representation of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The Jimi Hendrix Experience is a three-piece rock band from the late-60s (left-handed African-American guitar player/singer; caucasian drummer and caucasian bass player). The goal is to represent the band members as little kid versions of the more familiar adult rock icons that people recognize. Think: Calvin and Hobbes, the Peanuts, Boondocks, the Simpsons, etc.
Attention to details: Jimi's headband and scarves plus the frilly shirts, left-handed Fender Stratocaster.
Above all, the design should be fun and cool for the kids and kinda cute for the adults.
Thanks and good luck!

Luca De Bona and Dario De Meo are two halves of a dynamic whole. The design duo has a number of Italian brand Karman Lighting's most popular light fixtures in their portfolio, including the Domenica pendants and wall fixture, and the Nando family of fixtures, which Global Lighting distributes in the United States and Canada. The Nando offerings are a nod to Ferdinando Innocenti, who founded the machinery-works company Innocenti and was the creator of the Lambretta motor scooter—they pay homage to the celebrated Italian businessman who began his career as a blacksmith, and quite cleverly, we might add!
De Bona was educated as an architect at the Università di Venezia (IUAV) in Venice and De Meo studied industrial design at Politecnico di Milano Bovisa in Milan. Nanette Wong, covering Karman's 2014 product releases for Design Milk—which include the Metra by De Bona and De Meo—points out that the magical attributes of the company's introductions are highly entertaining and fantasy-filled. This is one of the aspects that attracted Global Lighting's CEO Larry Lazin to the manufacturer's lighting. Quite simply, Karman's knack for drawing wizardry from avant-garde designers is unique—and this team is no exception.
After completing their educations and spending a fair amount of time experiencing the world through their work separately, De Bona and De Meo met in Milan. They immediately hit it off and began a collaboration that has resulted in some seriously savvy design products. Their expressiveness is made up of both the functional aspects of design and the great emotion they put into their work, melding tradition and innovation seamlessly. It's no surprise their products have ample sophistication given they bring the disciplines of industrial design and architecture to the proverbial table. Global Lighting is thrilled to include their products within our Stratos Collection, and we hope to see more of the design/architecture team's creative endeavors in our North American offerings in the future.

Program Description
The Dietetic Internship Program at Lehman College is a full time program. The goal of the program is to provide access to a high-quality internship over a three-semester period (12 months). The internship placements require a minimum of 1,200 hours of supervised practice to be completed over the course of three consecutive semesters with a range of 30 - 37.5 hours of supervised practice per week (Monday to Friday), for a total of 12 months. There a provision for interns who need to work to spend no more than 15 hours each week in paid employment.
Interns are required to take twelve (12) graduate co-requisites and register for three (3) credits of the Seminar in Concepts and Methods of Dietetic Practice ("Seminar") and three (3) credits of Supervised Preprofessional Practice for each of the three semesters of the Dietetic Internship. The co-requisite graduate courses are either fully online or hybrid. Seminar for all three semesters is hybrid.
The internship class enrolls a maximum of fourteen students each year. We accept applications every year in February for an end of August start date. We participate in DICAS, the Centralized Application procedure and in the spring computer match program, administered by D&D Digital Systems.
The Dietetic Internship Program has a Medical Nutrition Therapy emphasis, giving interns an opportunity to experience nutrition assessment, diagnosis, and interventions for increasingly complex medical conditions.
The 1,200 hours of supervised practice are divided as follows:
- Medical Nutrition Therapy Rotation: 470 hours
- Food Service Management Rotation: 300 hours
- Community Rotation: 280 hours
- Research Project: 150 hours
The three supervised practice components take place in a health-care facility or community agency. The community rotation is usually divided into three sections to enable interns to experience several different agencies. Research projects are supervised by departmental faculty.
It is expected that interns will complete the supervised practice component of the Dietetic Internship in three semesters (12 months), registering for DFN 730 and DFN 731 each semester that they are enrolled in the program.
Acceptance Policy
In order to be accepted into the Internship Program, students must be eligible to enter Lehman's M.S. in Nutrition program. To be considered for matriculation, students must have earned a minimum Grade Point Average of 3.0 either in the DPD courses or overall as undergraduates or graduates and possess a baccalaureate degree. To apply to the M.S. in Nutrition graduate program, see the Prospective Intern page.
A Dietetic Internship selection committee evaluates each applicant's potential as a dietetic practitioner. Acceptance into the program is not influenced by gender, age, sexual orientation, marital status, race, creed, national origin, color, disabilities or handicap. Students will be judged competitively based on their undergraduate and graduate (if applicable) GPA, work experience, and recommendations by faculty and employers. Students who believe other factors should be considered may include them in their Personal Statement with their DICAS application
Evaluation of Dietetic Internship Applications
Follow the application instructions very carefully. Leave sufficient time to assemble the application package, as academic transcripts and recommendation requests are going through DICAS. DO send a check or money order for the correct amount of the application fee separately to the DI Director.
How important is the GPA?
The GPA is important. Internship programs are evaluated by ACEND in part based on the percentage of Dietetic Internship graduates passing the Registered Dietitian exam on the first attempt. A strong academic background is a positive indicator that a candidate might be able to achieve this. Candidates with GPA's lower than 3.0 will not be considered as they are not eligible to be accepted into the Graduate Program.
What about GRE scores?
GRE scores are not required for application to the M.S. in Nutrition or the Dietetic Internship programs.
Do errors in my application matter?
Proof-read, proof-read, proof-read before you submit your final application package to DICAS! Typographical errors, mistakes, and omissions show that you are careless in your work. This is your opportunity to collect all the information you are presenting to us to help us assess your ability to be part of our Dietetic Internship. We want to know if you can perform well in Lehman's program.
How important is work/volunteer experience?
It is important for two reasons:
- It addresses the question of whether you can perform successfully in certain settings.
- It can support what you are saying in your personal statement.
Can I apply to the Internship without applying to the Graduate Program?
Yes, you can, but if you are accepted into the Dietetic Internship, it is mandatory that you apply to the M.S. in Nutrition program if you are not already enrolled in the program.
What about reference letters?
These should provide support for your application. Therefore, it is better to obtain such letters from people who know you well and can speak of your unique qualifications for the Dietetic Internship, than a more general letter from a professor who taught you once in a large class.
In Addition:
Other candidates who apply at the same time that you do affect your chances of being offered a place in the Dietetic Internship. Selected candidates are ranked before being submitted to D&D Digital for the computer match, just as candidates rank their internship preferences. A difference of even one position on the match list can make the difference between a match or no match. A strong applicant who failed to match one year would be encouraged to re-apply for the following year.

The University of Houston continues to make significant progress on its trek toward Tier One status. UH President Renu Khator illustrated this point during Tuesday's UH System Board of Regents quarterly meeting. Since her arrival in 2008, UH has reached several milestones that have helped it move closer toward its Tier One goals. Among the accomplishments she cited for the board are:
- - Recruiting five members of the National Academy of Sciences.
- - A record enrollment of 37,000 students during fall 2009
- - The creation of the UH Energy Research Park
- - Earning a Carnegie Foundation designation as a Community-Engaged Institution
- - Increased media visibility, including national coverage focused on Don Van Nieuwenhuise discussing the BP oil spill.
- - An increase in post-doctoral appointments from 111 to 185.
- - A growing campus comprised of 120 buildings.
Complimenting these accomplishments, Stuart Long, interim UH vice president for research, presented the board with details on the increases in research awards and expenditures. As of July 2010, UH's awards totaled $110 million (a 9 percent increase from 2009) and expenditures totaled 78.8 million (a 12 percent increase from 2009).
Also on the rise are graduation rates. Elaine Charlson, executive associate vice president for academic and faculty affairs, discussed Project 549. The program identified 549 students who first enrolled as freshmen in 2004. These students had not graduated but had enough hours to do so. Advisers then contacted these students to provide information and guidance to help them graduate. Of these 549 students, 268 graduated in 2009.
"The interesting thing was that the graduation rate of this class increased from 36.3 percent to 45.1 percent," Charlson said. "We've learned from this. We're not waiting until the end to address the issue of helping them graduate. We will work with them from the day they begin as freshmen until their senior years."
The board applauded this effort and also provided support for another valuable resource for students. It unanimously approved a 100,000-square-foot addition to the University Center (UC).
Budgeted at $44.2 million, this new facility will be adjacent to the UC at the site currently occupied by Lot 1E.
Much of the UC's primary infrastructure -- student organizations, retail outlets and dining services -- will relocate into the new building. It also will host a number of new amenities including a theater and meeting spaces.
The construction of this new facility will be phase 1 of a two-part expansion and renovation project for the UC. Upon approval from the board, phase 2 will involve renovating and rehabilitating the existing facility.
Among the enthusiastic supporters of this project was board outgoing chairman Welcome Wilson Sr. Wilson had served three consecutive terms as chair and tirelessly championed UH's drive toward Tier One status. This meeting was his last as chairman.
At the meeting's onset, Wilson was surprised when a group of UH Frontiersman - wearing cowboy hats and dusters - presented him with his own duster with monogram on the back that read "Cougar Maximus." The Frontiersman also delivered a pair of black cowboy boots with the UH logo emblazoned in red.
Khator also expressed her thanks to Wilson for his energy and support and presented him with a hardbound book containing photos from his time as the board's chair.
Also in attendance during this ceremony was Wilson's family.
"In 1947, I was a senior at UH," Wilson said. "I met H.R. Cullen, the founding chairman of the university's Board of Regents. He was a very impressive man. That night, I decided that was what I wanted to be later in life. I didn't want to be mayor. I didn't want to be governor. I didn't want to be president. I wanted to be chairman of the Board of Regents. Sixty years later, I was honored by this board, and it's been a wonderful opportunity."

Archive: Nostalgic in Paris
For the kitchen, Bertrand wanted the warmth of wood, adding the counter and a charming splashback made from old wine crates. Antique grocer's scales from a flea market in Paris add a note of nostalgia by the window, while on the wall hangs a vintage still life in oils.
The dining room is the heart of the apartment, with its warm and sophisticated ambience. Here Bertrand has topped a vintage wrought iron table with glass and surrounded it with 1950s metal chairs, originally from a bistro and discovered in a flea market in Saint-Ouen. On the mantelpiece are two Medici vases in zinc, while above the mirror hangs a lion that once served as a fountain in a long forgotten garden.
In the bedroom, an orange and white patchwork quilt adds colour and pattern to the wall above the bed. The little wood bedside table, another flea market find, is stacked with books and candles for night time reading. The fireplace surround has a new life as a library and mini gallery, offering books and intriguing pieces such as the old children's shop busts covered in comic strips.
In a corner of the salon, a marble shop counter from the 1930s now houses Bertrand's stereo system. The two lamps on top are from a Paris antique shop, while the zinc decorative urn was found in a Belgian flea market.
Bertrand in his salon. Above him are letters that once graced the storefront of an old jewelery shop, set off perfectly by the long curtains in a soft golden yellow.
Bertrand's tiny Paris flat is a fascinating mix of sophistication and nostalgia, where elegant flea market finds happily co-exist with childhood mementos. Here Bertrand loves to host dinners for friends in his warm and hospitable home, its tiny size no impediment to the pleasure it brings to those lucky enough to visit.
This is the first in a regular series I'll be posting each Friday — a selection of scanned images from my magazine archives, which I began collecting back in the 1980s. I hope you enjoy it.
(scanned by me — and roughly translated by me — from a vintage copy of Marie Claire Maison)

Hi Gaye,
Welcome to the site.
It's very expected that referred aggression will occur when there is a new bunny around, or when bunnies are in sight, hearing or smell distance of each other.
It's best to keep your boy totally separate until 6-8 weeks after he has been neutered, and then try to bond. Don't do anything too quick.
What methods did you use to try and rebond?

GOODCORP Research Network on Corporate Governance
GoodCorp is a network of researchers and trade unionists concerned with corporate governance issues. It was established in 2005 by the ETUI and has a threefold mission.
The first aspect of its mission is to exchange information and opinions on current issues on the European corporate governance agenda; the second is to provide expert advice to trade unions and policymakers on corporate governance issues; the third is to support conceptual work developing alternative concepts of the company and corporate governance in the interests of workers and society as a whole. In 2007 GOODCORP was joined by members of the Path to Progress expert group, which was coordinated by the late Brian Bercusson in cooperation with the Social Development Agency (SDA).
In 2011 the ETUI published a book co-edited by Sigurt Vitols and Norbert Kluge, which contained contributions by members of the GOODCORP network. Entitled 'The Sustainable Company: an alternative approach to corporate governance', the book draws on both traditional 'stakeholder' models of the firm and newer concerns with sustainability. The main elements of the Sustainable Company and the institutions needed to support it are presented. Key themes in the book are the need for worker 'voice' in corporate governance and for a binding legislative framework to promote sustainability. Individual chapters deal with the issues of worker involvement, employee shareholding, sustainability-oriented remuneration, international framework agreements, NGO-trade union relationships, reforming financial regulation and carbon taxes and emissions-trading schemes.
For more information on the 'Sustainable Company' book see:
Currently the GOODCORP network is working on two follow-up publications. The first one is provisionally entitled 'European company law and the Sustainable Company: a stakeholder approach', and the second one is on the topic of Responsible Investing and the Sustainable Company.

You'll never be lacking the necessary bit with Worx's new semi-automatic electric screwdriver that uses reloadable cartridges and a slide-action mechanism to switch tips. Just be careful not to wander into any newsagents with it after doing repairs, because one look at the screwdriver and the clerk will be hitting the silent alarm.
The WX254L actually comes with two cartridges that each hold up to six bits and can be swapped in and out of the screwdriver as needed. And when locked and loaded switching bits is as easy as pulling back a sliding access panel, rotating the cartridge, and then closing it back up. As far as electric screwdrivers go the WX254L is on the smaller side making it slightly easier to squeeze into tight spots. And an LED task light means you won't be blindly poking at screws in dark corners. Available starting in early December, the screwdriver seems to appeal to a generation weened on first person shooters that now has to battle something even worse than zombies or monsters—home renovations and repairs.

For the invitation I had the wild idea of hand stitching a design on to each one. I soon realized that was insane, but not before falling in love with it and so I soldiered on and completed 15 of these bad boys. It was totally worth it. I have been so in love with the Japanese stitching technique called sashiko (more on that later), and this design was very much inspired by that!
I offered to do her party at the gymnastics place like the rest of her class, but she told me she still wanted a party at home (high-five!). Not just any party though, a karaoke party with lots of balloons. If you know my family and how much most of us love to hear ourselves sing, you would know how great of an idea this was! I twisted by Dad's arm and convinced him to DJ (he also ended up throwing down a little Hall & Oates and Steely Dan on the mic).
The decor was simple-green garlands with pops of color in the form of balloons and honeycomb balls, and lots of confetti on the tables and lots of balloons on the floor. We made some fun tassel necklaces and covered our bodies in flash tattoos (not pictured!) while the girls took turns singing tunes at the TOP of their lungs. This party was not for the faint of heart (or for those who are easily-over stimulated)!
Dad came through once again with an awesome cake that was WAY better than what I would have made. The treat bags were made by adding a strip of copper tape to small brown bags and I used this tutorial to make a million tassels while Netflix binging the night before the party (I modified it to make the tiny tassels even tinier and added a ring to the top of each one to make it easy to string on a necklace).
I also painted hot pink stripes onto butcher paper for easy table runners for the table and dessert table. My Mom came through with an amazing array of kid food, straight from my childhood-biscuit pizzas, mini hot dogs, sandwiches in fun shapes and cups of veggies and fruits. Seriously, that woman is the best.
Happy Birthday Ellie-we could not love you more!
