Teen Tech Week @ your library
Teen Tech Week Events Across the United States
Add your plans for Teen Tech Week here!
At the Pitkin County Library in Aspen, Colorado we will be hosting a gaming night at the library and highlighting our new YA nonfiction collection which includes several titles on gaming- gaming careers, gaming strategies and game building. We will also introduce our new playaway collection which includes 20 YA titles at the event!
The Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County in Mount Vernon, Ohio will hold a Teen Tech Week Anime Party that will function as the first meeting of our new Anime Club. We will watch the first DVD of the science fiction anime series "Lost Universe". We will also have a guest speaker who lived in Japan come and talk about Japanese culture. As our Anime Club gets going, we hope to help teens learn to make digital animations on their own.
The Clermont County Public Library in Clermont County, Ohio is celebrating Teen Tech Week with contests that showcase photography skills and teens' knowledge of social networking emoticons, acronyms and symbols. The winner of the photography contest will have their images printed on Moo mini cards which will be distributed throughout Clermont County publicizing our upcoming Teen Summer Reading Program - "Express Yourself @ your library." Several of our library branches are also hosting Teen Game Nights with our recently purchases Wii consoles.
Teen Tech Week 2009 Mini Grant Winners' Events
Congratulations to the 20 Teen Tech Week Mini Grant winners!
In celebration of the theme "Press Play @ Your Library", and stemming from an interest among our patrons in music programming and computer games, West Springfield Public Library plans to use the Teen Tech Week grant to purchase a Wii and Rockband for our youth room. The library staff is as excited as the patrons, and we are already thinking about forming a librarian 'band' to challenge the teens. Our high school interns this year planned a CD-sharing event that now occurs monthly at the library called Pump It Up! that has yielded some surprising revelations about what teens are listening to-- Classic rock is so-called for a reason, apparently, and Rockband is sure to be enthusiastically embraced for this, too.
The Normal Public Library in Normal, Illinois will be using the money from the Teen Tech Week Grant to purchase several games for the Wii, including Rock Band, which will enable us to set up a regular gaming program. Our first Game Day will take place during Teen Tech Week, and we hope to continue to have monthly game days at the library. Our teens have expressed a lot of interest in gaming at the library, and we hope that regular gaming events will continue to draw in new teens and help to familiarize them with the library, its staff, and what we have to offer them.
Teen Central at the Hennepin County Library will use our Teen Tech Week Grant a "Party Like It's Teen Tech Week" event to celebrate creative uses of technology by and for teens. The party will be hosted by our Teen Advisory Group from whom the idea for the grant originated. The main event will be a workshop on Circuit-Bending led by Librarian Camden Tadhg, who will be trained by the Science Museum of Minnesota. In having a staff member train for this event, rather than bringing in an outside presenter, we hope to spread this knowledge throughout the Hennepin County Library system with a "train the trainer" model. Additionally, our Teen Tech Squad will work one-on-one with teens in using rich media creation software such as Scratch, GIMP, Audacity, and ArtRage. The highlight of the day will hopefully be a Circuit Bending Jam Session where we will record the teen participants making music with the instruments they create during the Circuit Bending workshop.
Baraboo Public Library in Baraboo Wisconsin will be using our mini grant to improve our teen space in the library. A large, dark brick wall will soon be covered with a bright high-tech mural designed by a local teen artist. Teens will learn how to wire LED lights, construct LED clocks, and make a scrolling marquee as we combine paint, electronic gadgets, and bling bling to create a unique and eye-catching focal point for our teen area.
Passages Academy Library in Brooklyn, NY will be using our mini grant to purchase Nintendo DS systems and games. Because our students are incarcerated by New York City's Department of Juvenile Justice, they are not permitted to use the internet and have little exposure to technology while they are with us. We hope to use these systems to promote visual literacy and as incentive to participate in reading and gaming programs throughout our school library's sites in Brooklyn. It is our intention that these systems will be the beginning of ongoing gaming programs and technology programs at Passages Academy Library. During Teen Tech Week, we will be gathering student responses to the new initiative to better inform future development.
The Hayward Public Library will use the Teen Tech Week mini grant to fund a program called Manga Tech. Many of our teens are budding manga artists, this program will show them how to digitize their work. The library will purchase copies of the Tokyopop Manga Creator Software and manga clip art books. During Teen Tech Week, teens will be introduced to the software, learn graphic novel story structure from a local comic book author and play with the software to create their manga. At the end of the week, we will host a party to share their original manga and play manga related videogames. Manga created using this software will be added to the collection and loaded onto the web.
The Salem Church Branch of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library will use the TTW mini grant to fund a weeklong event, entitled, "Through Teen Eyes: Press Play @ Your Library!" Using the popularity of films and audio-visual experience, we will teach our teen patrons how to use Flip Video camcorders, purchased with grant funds, and the accompanying video-editing software. The teens will use these to record their original films, culminating in a Film Festival to showcase their work. We will begin the exciting week with a visit from a local newspaper movie reviewer, who will talk with the teens about what makes a good movie, and techniques they will want to consider or avoid while writing their screenplays. We anticipate that the films will show the teen world from their perspective, and that future use of the cameras will include making films about how to use new features of the library, as well as videos of programs and special events. Because a large proportion of the teens we serve come from technologically disadvantaged households, we hope that this experience will also help level the tech-playing field for them.
The West Covina Library, in the County of Los Angeles Public Library System, will be using their TTW MiniGrant funds to organize PLAY @ the West Covina Library. Teens will be able to write and tape a trailer about their favorite book, movie, or other library resource using Flip cameras purchased with the grant funds. The trailers will premiere for all library visitors on the last day of TTW, and the trailers will be shown on the television in the Teen Area of the library on a continuing basis.
The Grand Rapids Public Library in Michigan will be using their grant funds to purchase Flip Video cameras for teens to use in developing their YouTube videos on the topic of "It's Easy Being Green". It will also be used to do Twitter booktalks, especially for "Rash" by Pete Hautman, during TTW. Our teen programs are always promoted on Twitter, MySpace and Facebook. Our Facebook account has almost 1000 friends!
ArTech Fun @ the Dorris Van Doren Regional Branch (El Paso Public Library System in Texas) This program combines art and technology through the use of Wacom's Bamboo Fun Tablet. Funds will be used to purchase two digital drawing tablets and a small collection of digital art books to help teens take their art to the next level. Guest speakers will be invited to show teens how to use a digital drawing tablet and talk about their careers. Teens will then be able to reserve time slots to work on two projects. The first project is to create promotional art for the summer reading club and perhaps create an animated short. The second project is to create or upload their own artwork to be showcased in an art show that they plan at the library.
Atlantic Technical Center and Technical High School (Broward County, FL) will be holding a Teen Tech Week "Learn to Podcast" contest. Students may enter in any of the four categories: Pi Day Podcast, PSA (Public Service Announcement), Book Lovers Podcast (Digital Book Talk, Book Trailer), and Demonstration Podcast ("How to…"). All students who enter will receive a free ticket to participate in the school Wii Tournament in April. Winners in each category will receive gift certificates. The Wii Sports Console and contest prizes will be purchased with the minigrant funds from YALSA (Thank you, YALSA!) Tech Workshops will be held during and after school throughout Teen Tech Week for students who need assistance and/or instruction with creating their podcasts. For more information including complete contest and category descriptions, plus rubrics and resources, see the Teen Tech Week at ATC page of the ATC Media Center website: http://teacherweb.com/FL/AtlanticTechnicalCenterTechnicalHS/MrsRohrbach/ap14.stm

The list of sheriffs who plan to challenge the state's new gun-control legislation has grown to include more than 40 of Colorado's 62 sheriffs.
Elbert County Sheriff Shayne Heap, Douglas County Sheriff David Weaver and Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson are among the group seeking to overturn the recently passed state laws, which set limits on ammunition magazines and expand background checks for firearms transfers.
Independence Institute attorney David Kopel, who is directing the planned lawsuit, says the laws run counter to the Second Amendment and "violate the highest law in the country, the Constitution of the United States of America."
Heap and Weaver both claim the new laws will make it harder for law-abiding people to defend themselves. Kopel claims the background-check law could criminalize the actions of innocent people.
Their words ring hollow to Tom Mauser, whose son Daniel was killed at Columbine High School and who serves as spokesman for gun-control group Colorado Ceasefire.
"It's all nonsense," said Mauser, who characterized the sheriffs' claims as "sour grapes."
The sheriffs simply "don't like that those two bills passed" and "they have become a voice for the NRA and Rocky Mountain Gun Owners," Mauser said.
Kopel's courtroom experience on Second Amendment issues includes a 2008 Supreme Court case, The District of Columbia v. Heller, in which the court ruled that the District of Columbia could not ban handguns or self-defense with a handgun in a person's home.
"They've outlawed an accessory that is essential to the use of a firearm," Kopel said of Colorado's limit on magazines. "We are challenging the background-check bill for temporary and innocent transfers. With the new law, if your friend from out of town comes to visit and you loan him your gun to hunt, you're a criminal. That is overreaching and unreasonable."
Kopel's institute will represent the sheriffs free of charge.
Weaver made his position on the issue clear in an April 5 letter released by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
"I don't think the laws will make people safer," Weaver wrote. "Tighter gun laws will not prevent criminals from getting guns. The laws will only make it harder for citizens to defend themselves."
Heap echoed Weaver's sentiments, calling the laws "unenforceable." Heap posted an online message criticizing the legislation in a video that garnered close to 500,000 hits.
"Extreme Democratic legislators have unilaterally decided that making it harder for you to defend yourself will somehow make you safer, or at least make them feel better," Heap said. "Extreme Democratic legislators continue to disregard the will of the people in search of their own personal and political agendas."
Mauser finds the arguments by the sheriffs and their lawyer empty. "They think (the gun-control laws) are difficult to enforce, as if there are no other laws that are difficult to enforce," he said.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment grants an individual right to gun ownership, but that restrictions are allowable, Mauser said. "You can't pass a law as restrictive as Washington, D.C., but this isn't anything like Washington, D.C.," he said.
He said the Colorado laws provide "reasonable restrictions to keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people" and said the background-check law provides "exceptions for temporary transfers or transfers within families."
Mauser said the sheriffs are "good at dreaming up other kinds of circumstances" to criticize the laws. "You can't account for every possible situation someone will dream up," he said. "They just don't like the basic concept of background checks."
"As for the magazines, the Supreme Court said you could have restrictions on what they call dangerous weapons," Mauser said. "Most Americans would say assault weapons and high-capacity magazines are dangerous weapons, and Colorado acted on it."
The most common form of self-defense with a gun involves handguns, he said, adding: "Handguns aren't outlawed."
"If there's anyone overreaching, it's them," Mauser said of the group opposing gun-control laws. "It's all nonsense."
Kopel declined to identify the court where the lawsuit will be filed, but said he expects to file the suit around the second week of May.
Assistant editor Scott Gilbert contributed to this report.

Lazar News Network - Robert R. Lazar Middle School students experience the excitement and energy of producing a live daily news show. The Montville Township audio/visual teacher Jeanne Matuszewski directs sixth, seventh and eighth graders in their television production course.
CLIPS TRIPS - Clayton Middle and High School students learn life lessons through a service learning project called CLIPS TRIPS – Citizenship Leads into Personal Success. The project is designed to create opportunities for students in grades 6-12 who are enrolled in the middle/high school behavioral and multiple disabilities programs to foster interpersonal connections with community based constituents, peers, teachers and staff. This project provides students with opportunities to engage as active citizens of the community. Following a cleanup of the school garden and surrounding area, the mayor of Clayton and members of his staff meet with the students to encourage them to consider a career in city government
Something Fishy - Special education teachers at Van Holten Elementary in Bridgewater are using fish to help students get excited about learning. Trout in the Classroom (TIC) is a science-based program that demonstrates the importance of cold water conservation through a hands-on experience. By raising brook trout from eggs to fingerlings, the size they are at release time, students learn about the importance of clean, cold water, not only for the fish they are raising, but also for other organisms, including people. The teachers at Van Holten have incorporated the program throughout curriculum including language and math as well as speech and occupational therapy. For more information go to: http://www.njtroutintheclassroom.org/
Jammin' with Julio – A select group of music students at Hoboken High School have the honor of jamming with Julio Fernandez, a jazz guitarist for Spyro Gyra. A former graduate of Hoboken High, Fernandez returns to visit with the students, his former band director John Cuozzo and fellow band member from the 1970s, Gary Enrico. While at the school, Fernandez was presented with an NJEA Award of Excellence, which is given to graduates of New Jersey high schools who have excelled in their field.
Tools of the Mind – Preschoolers at Walnut Ridge Primary School in Vernon Township gain valuable tools by visiting a grocery store where they learn colors, math, vocabulary and much more. The school uses Tools of the Mind Curriculum to enhance learning for the preschoolers. The curriculum is a research-based program that builds strong foundations for school success by promoting intentional and self-regulated learning in preschool and kindergarten-aged children.
2014-15 Teacher of the Year - Mark Mautone appreciates the small successes that he sees everyday with his students at Wallace Elementary School in Hoboken. Working in special education since 1995 when he began his career as a one-to-one aide for a child with Angelman Syndrome, Mark currently teaches preschool students with autism. He is a strong proponent of using technology to educate students with special needs. He also considers parents as valuable partners in the success of his students.
HS Student Exchange - What do students from different cultures have in common? Students at Watchung Hills Regional High School in Somerset are teaming up with students at Columbia High School in South Orange to discover their similarities. They spend a full day at each other's schools sharing their school culture and learning valuable lessons about different perspectives on life.
Poetry for Teachers – Teachers from across the state attend the 15th Biennial Dodge Poetry Festival. Newark's downtown art district is taken over by internationally known poets. During the four-day festival, one day is dedicated to educators who want to enhance their poetry lessons in the classroom. After the festival, Lewis Lazarow of Moorestown High School, shares the lessons from the festival with his students.
Treaty of Versailles - Randolph High School students re-enact the Treaty of Versailles with a day-long, student driven history project. Teacher Jon Misiunas coordinates nearly 90 students who research, represent different countries, debate and negotiate alliances and borders, reminiscent of what occurred after World War I. At the end of World War I, the peace treaty ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers.
An Immigrant's Story - As an undocumented student in Bayonne, NJ, Sofia Medina faced legal uncertainties and limitations within the educational system. Despite her stellar grades, she faced the uncertainly of getting into college. Many four-year colleges have policies refusing to admit students without documentation. Thanks to the support of teachers at Essex Community College, Sofia is now attending John Hopkinson University.
Against all odds - Fox Beyer, affectionately known as "Profe" by his students at Whippany Park High School, beat the odds and turned his challenges into victories. Born with cerebral palsy and only given a 25 percent chance of living, Beyer turned to sports and education and became not only a mentor but also an inspiration to his students and colleagues.
Peer Tutoring - The North Brunswick Township High School peer tutoring program is a contributing factor to the latest Charter Education Award. About 30 students are certified through the National Tutoring Association. Because of the all the additional pressures of testing, students need all the help they can get, and no better way than from their peers. The students gather in a lobby during lunch for the tutoring sessions.
Peacemakers - Recent news reports of bullies in the workplace and bullies in high school have ended in tragedy. But elementary educators believe that teaching children at a young age to deal with conflict can often change the way they deal with it later in life. At North Boulevard Elementary School in Pequannock Township, Yvette McBain (Morris County Teacher of the Year) has developed a peer mediation program whose theme is "A Bridge to Success," which includes the 1st through 3rd grade Peacemakers, and the 4th and 5th grade Heart Club peer mediators.
Squan-a-Thon – At Manasquan High School, nearly 300 students take part in the "Squan-a-Thon". The event aims to raise more than $40,000 to assist children afflicted with cancer. On the surface, the event functions as a dance marathon requiring that each student stay up all night without caffeine. On a deeper level, this challenge intends to foster a sense of empathy and concern for the hardships of others among the student body.
Breaking the Chain - Evan Robbins is spearheading fund and consciousness-raising on the issue of human trafficking with his students at Metuchen High School. The high school students present lessons about life in developing worlds to students at Campbell Elementary School. A more hard-hitting lesson on trafficking will be presented at an assembly back at the high school.
Change the World - Sixth grade social studies teacher Matthew Marciano encourages his students at Long Valley Middle School to change the world. Each year students are challenged to think of a way to change the world and they must make good on the promise by the end of the year. The project is based on the movie and novel "Pay It Forward". The list of projects ranges from raising awareness about a variety of diseases from cancer to vascular tumors, showing kindness to seniors, the homeless or underprivileged, and honoring heroes including the military.
Graphic Communications - Learning real-world skills while gaining hands-on production and business experience is the goal of the Somerset County Vocational Technical High School Graphic Communications Program. The program has two shop areas – one for design and the other for production – with a business office in between to sell products and services. Students learn to use industry-standard software such as Adobe illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign while learning color theory, design, typography, and other skills needed to create professional graphics. They also operate screen printing and offset printing equipment to produce finished products for their customers. All this while working directly with clients, managing projects, and running a business.
Empathy & Dialogue - With all of the complexities of the Middle East, it's difficult to understand the politics and consequences of activities in those countries. But the students at Bergen County Academies in Hackensack are not just learning about the Middle East, they are engaging in a program called "Empathy and Dialog in the Middle East." The school has project time which is dedicated to engaging in learning that is multidisciplinary and technology infused. During a Skype session, the New Jersey students hear personal stories from young Israel students.
Instructional Strategies – Tens of thousands of educators from across the state attend the NJEA Convention where they keep up to date on all the topical issues of teacher evaluation, testing, assessment and the common core curriculum standards. Commissioner David Hespe meets with teachers and shares his goals concerning the common core.
Something for Everyone – A misnomer of the yearly NJEA Convention is that it is a "Teacher's Convention." It is the world largest educational event of its kind and it is for the entire educational family. There are workshops for bus drivers, school secretaries, school nurses, retired and future teachers.
Excellence through Equality - Excellence through Equity is the message that Finnish teacher and scholar Pasi Sahlberg delivers during the NJEA Convention. Sahlberg believes that Finland's schools succeed because they address the inequalities and diversity of their students. Finland is a relatively poor nation, but the Finnish Dream is that all children, regardless of family background or personal conditions, have a great school in their community.

The Ferron/Price Ranger District will be implementing a prescribed burn within the Ferron Creek drainage area located near Ferron Canyon Road between Willow Lake and Ferron Reservoir.
The burn could start as early as July 25, and will continue until completed. The exact dates of the burn are unknown and will not be known until several days before the burn. The burn is weather dependent and will happen when conditions are favorable.
The burn will be ignited by helitorch (aerial ignition) and helicopter activity will last approximately two days. By burning under controlled conditions, effects of the fire can be managed. While the prescribed burn is taking place, the burn area will be closed to the public and there may be delays or temporary closures on Ferron Canyon Road, Forest Development Road #022.
Traffic may be routed around to the South Side Road, FDR #043. In addition, Willow Lake Campground, as well as, the trails in the George Fork, Cove Creek and Singleton Flat areas will be closed.
Prescribed burns are used for a variety of resource benefits including improved wildlife habitat, reduced fuel buildup from insect killed trees, and to support ecosystem diversity. Aspen stands provide critical habitat for many wildlife species, forage for livestock and wildlife, and to protect stream flows in critical watershed. Aspen is being lost by encroachment of conifers. Aspen regenerates by sprouting following a controlled burn or other disturbance.
If you need further information visit www.utahfireinfo.gov or contact the Ferron Ranger District at 435/384-2372.

The back strap and the beads are very sturdy, the beads aren't flimsy beads that come off after a few wears.Although I like this shoe, it does run very wide and is very slippery so slip resistant pads are a must! Also, if you have high arches like I do these shoes do not accommodate high arches at all."

Cancer won't stay beaten
President Richard Nixon declared a "war on cancer" when he signed the National Cancer Act in 1971. When my grandparents were my age, cancer was never discussed, and it was almost always a death sentence.
Things have changed in the past 40-plus years. I know of at least a dozen cancer survivors in my group of friends and family. It seems like everyone I know who has been diagnosed with cancer has come through treatment successfully…the first time.
That's the problem with cancer that all our scientific breakthroughs haven't been able to solve. Cancer keeps coming back.
A client's granddaughter was in remission for a whole year, but her brain tumor is back, and the doctors say there's nothing they can do.
A friend who's a breast cancer survivor wasn't able to come to a home party I had over the weekend, because her cancer is back, in her bones now, and she can't walk.
I am angry. These people worked so hard to beat cancer, they thought they had done it, and boom! Cancer is back.
I am scared. I don't want my loved ones having to look over their shoulders for the rest of their lives, wondering when the next attack is going to come.
How far have we really come in the "war on cancer"? Is it even a war we can win?

This is part 7 of 11 from "Sustainability: The 'Embracers' Seize Advantage," a report on the findings of the 2010 Sustainability & Innovation Global Executive Study and Research Project.
How to Do What the Embracers Do
It is not surprising that most companies (all but the 3.5% of respondents who qualified as true sustainability skeptics) believe sustainability will be necessary to be competitive in the future and so see the need to accelerate their adoption of sustainability-driven management. But what does that mean, exactly? How can it be done? What are the high-leverage tactics and strategies that will transform the way an organization competes on sustainability?
Our study suggests that the behaviors and experiences of the embracers may provide a starting point. If the embracers are in the vanguard and present a picture of what management increasingly will look like as businesses turn to sustainability for competitive advantage, they also portray the early-stage steps that any company could take to advance along that path. What do the high-performing embracers do that other organizations might benefit from adopting?
In our study, along with identifying who the embracers are, we discovered seven practices that typical embracers share. What do embracers do? They:
1. Move early — even if information is incomplete. First, they tend to be bold, see the importance of being an early mover and be prepared to accept that they need to act before they necessarily have all the answers. Business leaders we interviewed tend to agree. "Much of what you do in business can't be reduced simply to a formula or to a financial return calculation," says Brian Walker, CEO of Herman Miller. Many decisions, he says, "require a bit of instinct, a gut feeling for where you're ultimately trying to go. It can't be reduced to simply a piece of paper." Duke Energy's Roberta Bowman sees sustainability-driven management as a journey, in which different businesses are at different stages. "It is an evolutionary process, and companies go through stages of growth in adapting sustainability to their business," she says. "Even within a complex company, we are starting at different places, we are evolving in different ways with our approach to sustainability."
Embracers are not paralyzed by ambiguity, and instead see action as a way to generate data, uncover new options and develop evidence iteratively that makes decision making increasingly effective. Movement diminishes uncertainty.
2. Balance broad, long-term vision with projects offering concrete, near-term "wins." Leading companies are striking a balance between an overarching vision and being specific about the areas where they can gain competitive advantage. An ambitious vision might generate brand premiums, transform organizational culture and help attract capital, talent or public collaborators. But smart embracers balance those aims with narrowly defined projects in, say, supply chain management, which allow them to produce early, positive bottom-line results. They exhibit relentless practicality.
Dan Esty, professor of environmental law and policy at Yale University, sees this two-mindedness dividing the leading companies from the laggards. "The emphasis on execution is going to separate a few leaders from the pack who may have seen change coming but have not positioned themselves to act on the opportunity."
3. Drive sustainability top-down and bottom-up. Leading companies recognize that sustainability must not only be driven from top down — with leaders prepared to talk openly about the challenges and opportunities it brings their organization — but must also involve employees, creating incentives (both financial and managerial) to contribute. SAP's Graf believes that employees have a key role to play. In fact, he says this was something that, initially, his company underestimated. "The first surprise was that some of our employees were much more aware of sustainability challenges and potential solutions than our management team," he says. "Our employees have long understood the role SAP can play. We saw a lot of grassroots activities happening around the globe, and were amazed by the degree of passion that went with it."
Embracers have learned that working to enlist employees in sustainability at all levels has many benefits. In addition to gaining ideas and insights from multiple sources, the genuine involvement of staff in that process drives up levels of employee engagement and productivity, and nurtures a culture that is attractive to talented recruits.
4. Aggressively de-silo sustainability — integrating it throughout company operations. Embracer companies do not treat sustainability as a separate function but have established a culture in which sustainability is applied to all existing business processes. "We are now looking at much more precise ways to build sustainability into our core business processes, whether that's our integrated resource plan or our view of merger and acquisition candidates," Duke Energy's Bowman says. She argues that it may not even need to be called "sustainability" to be wired into the business. "It's the approach, it's the process, it's the mindset."
In some cases, integration means embracing opportunities; in others, it means addressing risk. For HSBC, for example, bringing sustainability into lending practices is one way of integrating it into the business. "HSBC has a series of very clear and unambiguous policies around the standards we have for financial relationships with clients in forestry, water, chemicals, energy, metals and mining," says Robins. "That goes straight through the credit risk function, and I think it's a well-understood and formal process. And so that provides a very clear way of integrating material risk into the business decision making."
5. Measure everything (and if ways of measuring something don't exist, start inventing them). Embracers establish baselines and develop methods of assessment so that starting positions can be identified and progress measured. Some of these assessments are of tangible or physical activities, such as waste and energy efficiency or water conservation. However, forward-thinking companies are also trying to establish ways of quantifying the impact of sustainability on brand, innovation and productivity.
Assessments that make the link between a company's sustainability credentials and its employee engagement are of particular interest to companies as they recruit skilled executives who want to work for a company they believe is doing the right thing. This issue is extremely important to most employee populations, particularly millennials. And although many people see this as a big, complex, intellectualized issue, the employee population in sustainability is going to become bigger, and employees are simply going to demand it from organizations.
Of course, the way companies develop their approach to the measurement of intangibles is likely to vary according to their sector and activities. Mechanisms already exist that companies can adapt, such as employee satisfaction and exit interviews or the number of times analysts ask to see sustainability-related information. Initially, these kinds of metrics make intangibles more tangible — and, critically, they may help develop data that can tie less tangible sustainability-related rewards to the organization's financials.
6. Value intangible benefits seriously. Embracers are clearly distinguished from cautious adopters in their readiness to value intangibles as meaningful competitive benefits of a sustainability strategy. Smart companies are realizing that conservation of natural resources they need is a fundamental part of risk management, as the work being done by companies such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo on water conservation clearly demonstrates. And starting a sustainability journey by focusing on waste and energy inefficiencies makes sense for any business.
However, embracers accept that it takes time to develop their ability to measure — or even to understand fully — intangible advantages, and they need to make their investment decisions on the basis of a combination of tangible benefits, intangibles and risk scenarios. That certainly applies to oil companies, according to MIT's Moniz. "They are looking at step-outs — things that are not part of the core business today but are preparing them for a potentially very changed portfolio in 10 or 20 years," he says. "But they're also doing work that goes to their core business."
7. Try to be authentic and transparent — internally and externally. Finally, companies leading the charge on sustainability are fundamentally realistic. They do not overstate motives or set unrealistic expectations, and they communicate their challenges as well as their successes. That was something embraced early on by companies such as Nike and Gap, which in the mid-2000s started producing labor supply chain reports that included details of the supplier factories in which they had encountered noncompliance with labor, environmental and health and safety standards. Unilever has also demonstrated that it is looking toward long-term horizons, even if that means less impressive results on its short-term margins.
Unilever is taking an open approach to communications, as was seen recently in its public pronouncements about its Sustainable Living Plan, in which company CEO Paul Polman emphasized the need to move away from a focus on short-term profit margins. Polman also stressed the fact that Unilever had not yet come up with answers to many environmental and social sustainability challenges in its operations but would work in partnership with other sectors to do so.
The "warts and all" approach to reporting and communication has yet to be adopted by many companies — embracers included. Those that do communicate openly find that this shores them up against accusations of "greenwashing," both internally from employees and externally from stakeholders, customers and activists.

It's really hard to find it at a local game store. your best bet would be Amazon or Ebay.
Really? Hard? There are many game stops by me and they all seem to have at least 1 used copy. Ask sometimes and they can find it for you.
OK, thanks! you guys are awsome!
I love Fett, and I wish there could be a long line of them, by marrying into Mando families, and by cloning. the next one should have been named Seco Fett (SEE-CO)
i think Boba is the last of the Fetts...
thought they covered that in with the metaphors of "legacy" of the force hehe
Well............If you mean name then the Fett line is over unless the name is given to any children Mirta may or may not have. If you mean bloodlines, depends on if his descendants want children.
Very true
If I grow up and become a bounty hunter, I'll probably change my last name to Fett or Teff.
Teff? That's original, and copyright at the same time...of course people might think you just did it to be like Boba and never finish a job.
Actually, Boba used that name when he was captured by the Republic and they thought he was an orphan.
I'd forgotten...almost all my SW books are lost right now, so I don't remember alot...
Oh yes, I remember him using the name Teff instead of Boba when the Republic authorities came and took him aboard the Cassendri. I have to admire his resourcefulness on that one especially at eleven years old. In actuality though, he was an orphan only thing was he did not divluge his real first name.
TEFF? Really?! Couldn't B. come up with someth'n better! Teff is Fett spelled backwards with an extra F.
Fett will live on.

Manitoba Bison sweep Calgary Dinos for right to host Canada West Final Four
WINNIPEG – The Manitoba Bisons and the Regina Cougars completed sweeps of their Canada West women's volleyball quarterfinal series on Saturday to set the stage for next weekend's conference Final Four tournament.
The Bisons, Cougars, Trinity Western University Spartans and UBC Thunderbirds will gather in Winnipeg next weekend to determine the conference champion.
The Bisons defeated the Calgary Dinos 25-18, 25-21, 25-15 on Saturday night to complete a two-match sweep of their best of three quarterfinal. With the victory the Bisons, ranked third nationally, earn the right to host the Final Four tournament next weekend.
The defending national champions and number-one ranked UBC Thunderbirds had a bye to the Final Four after a perfect 20-0 regular season and first spot in the conference. However UBC is unable to host the Final Four because of the Winter Olympic Games.
The number-three ranked Bisons were led by Kristi Hunter and Ashley Voth who had 12 kills each. Voth also tied Bisons libero Nicole Hall with 12 digs, and setter Sam Loewen added 30 assists to the Bisons cause. Dinos' setter Kathryn Moncks led her team with 23 assists and Raynell Lavertu chipped in with eight kills as well.
"I was proud of the way we played tonight," said Bisons coach Ken Bentley. "We made some good adjustments during the game and we didn't allow them much time to breathe. That was one of the things we talked about, we wanted to get on them early, and that's what we were able to do."
Meanwhile the Cougars, hosting their first playoff matches in 20 years this weekend, eliminated the Brandon Bobcats in two straight posting a 25-20, 25-16, 27-25 victory.
On Friday the Trinity Western University Spartans eliminated the Alberta Pandas.
Meanwhile in the Atlantic conference St. Mary's and St. Francis Xavier won their semifinal matches on Saturday over Acadia and the University of New Brunswick respectively. The conference championship final between St. Mary's and St FX is this afternoon in Halifax.
In the Ontario conference, McMaster defeated Waterloo in four games to join Queen's, Toronto and Western, which all won their quarters on Friday, to the conference Final Four.
Besides the Atlantic championship match today, undefeated Université de Montréal face Laval Rouge et Or in game two of their Quebec conference final this afternoon in Quebec City. Montreal won the opener on Friday.

A covered walk from the driveway leads through a small planted courtyard to the front door. The home's primary living spaces face the back yard and the panoramic view. The large living room retains much of the home's original features such as hardwood floors, a clean lined brick fireplace, and wood beamed ceiling. A long wall of floor to ceiling glazing allows for a "seamless" visual flow between the indoors and the outdoors, which of course was a primary objective with many of the architects who operated in what we now consider the mid-century modern milieu.

GDB 34: Unlikely Predators
December 28 2008 04:59PM
Let's start this GDB off by saying we have a special level of hatred for the Nashville Predators. They have no business owning the Oil the way they do. They are brutal. They have terrible ownership, a sparse fan base, a funny logo, a coach with no neck whatsoever and are completely unusable as a team in 2k9.
Yet they stroll in to E-Town with nine consecutive wins against the Oil. Pardon? Four straight at Rexall? Zuh? Former Oiler Jason Arnott team Captain and still a legitimate member of the league's upper class?
Arnott falls into that category of "ones that got away." These are former Oilers that - for one reason or another - left town and yet inexplicably their careers continued after they left. We like our ex-Oilers ruined and depressed thank you very much. David Oliver? Check. Still happy you left after a single good year? Dan McGillis? Right. Smooth move on that one friend. But when an Oiler leaves and continues producing, well that just grinds our gears. "The ones that got away" aren't the Curtis Josephs or the Doug Weights of the world. Those players left for the dollars and cents of the matter and there was little that could be done.
The ones that got away include players who left for reasons other than the dough. We would include Jason Arnott in this category along with a few players of the same era - players like Miro Satan, Kirk Maltby or hell even Boyd Devereaux. Years after these chaps left town we still look down the roster and see a spot for them.
Once upon a time these players were dealt and the good citizens of the OilersNation exclaimed "huzzah! What wonderous news! How happy we will be now that these poorly performing players aren't members of our local hockey squadron." We pitied the teams who had the misfortune of picking up these castaways. We laughed heartily as the other GM issued positive statements about the contribution these players will make to their new teams.
And now, years later, we sit back years later in muted horror and hope that fallen stars like one time whipping boy Jason Arnott doesn't lead his Predators to a tenth straight win over his former teammates.
Damn you Jason Arnott for your continued career. Damn you Nashville Predators for your continued dominance of the Oilers. Damn you Chris Cornell for leaving Soundgarden and Audioslave. Seriously, why would he leave both of those bands?
I guess thats being a God of Rock for you.
You guys want to hear an awesome joke??
Chris Cornell
Gets em every time. Here's hoping for an end to that depressing streak. Go oil!
lets mark it down now. an Oiler win.
I am confident.
December 28 2008, 05:58PM
Let's hope the Juniors didn't use up all of the goals today. That was the closest 15-0 game I have ever seen.
I'll go Oilers 3 Nashville 2 just to be "that guy."

Welcome to February!
Good evening, Mayor.
I'm ready for February because it means that March is almost here. :)
That's right! I am so ready for Spring!
We don't get the cold, cold winter that you do, but I'm tired of damp, foggy, gloomy days. I'm looking forward to spring color.
February 1 already!
May God bless and protect our brave troops, our Republic, everyone here and His servants worldwide.
Prayers & Hugs and Good Night, everyone.
Winter takes his bow Bending low the leafless limbs carry weight of snow falling soft as eider down forests wear a wedding gown
Beautiful, fish hawk!
I posted to you all at the end of the January thread! Duh!!
That's Ok..I posted that beach picture last night on the January thread!
It was 63 then It's 26 now and dropping.
The radar showed we got snow..but I only had rain and some thunderstorms earlier..
We just aren't accustomed to several days in a row of such cold weather..but it's here and will stay awhile.
I have 2 kinds of soup in the freezer and lots of chocolate..I'm in great shape to stay put.
Happy February!
Love this February graphic with fish hawk's poem of yesterday! Perfect!!
Just precious...thats it!
True stories about deceit and deception can sound stranger than fiction. According to an AP news item, a Georgia woman was arrested after trying to pay for more than $1,500 in purchases with a million-dollar counterfeit bill. When questioned, the embarrassed patron claimed to have been misled, saying that the fake money had been given to her by her ex-husband, who was a coin collector.
The size of the bill makes us question whether anyone could really have been misled into thinking it was real. But maybe that makes it a good illustration of the almost unbelievable problem of self-deception that the prophet warns us about. When Jeremiah said, The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? (17:9 ESV), he expresses a sense of amazement that is beyond our ability to grasp. Here the prophet is not saying that some of us have a problem being honest with ourselves; he is claiming that everyone does.
Thankfully, God searches our hearts and understands what we cannot see (v.10). He gives us every reason to say, Lord, we need Your help. Please show us whether we are being honest with ourselves and You. If we arent, help us to change and rely on You rather than on ourselves.
Read: Jeremiah 17:5-11
Oh My Goodness! I WANT that Puppy!
Very pretty, Meg!
Very short....very sweet!
Thank you Conor, for our sweet little Tuesday children! Are you expecting bad weather like the rest of the nation?
Awe that is so very cute, makes me want a puppy...the 2 old geezers I have wouldn't like it.
Very good, Mary Lou! LOL!
Have a peaceful day!
You are ready...thats good. I made a meatloaf yesterday morning so will have the old reliable with vegetables. Its good! I plan a grilled cheese sandwich one day with tomato soup, one of my favorite quick meals.

Thank you Fish Hawk. Oh, so true! (And VERY well spoken!)
I think they would make a lovely pair...LOL!
Do you know that I got nothing on that post to Amy from RasterMaster? Just blank space! Don't understand that!! Maybe you could copy and send by email?
Thank You! After all , I am the very model of a modern MiQ-MaQ Paddy Whacky Bass Playing Biker! :-)
Is it real or photoshoppe? LOL!
I know this one for sure. It is NOT photo-shopped. I first saw in announced on Yahoo and in the next day or two, it popped up on the news. It was about 2 years ago. I have a couple different ones of the puppy in my files.
I wonder why it didn't show up for you? It is such a tender, sweet, touching graphic.
Loved the graphic and poem, Amy and FishHawk!
Stay safe, warm, and dry, everyone!
Nice to see you, Billie Blue!!
It came in perfect. I cannot understand why I had blank space! Every now and then Dolly will post something that I cannot receive....go figure!
It is a beautiful graphic. I have seen that posted in the newspaper from family, on an Anniversary of their loved one's death. (only the prayer, not the graphic.)
Oh my gosh! Look at that heart-shaped spot! (wonder what it looks like when he's standing?)

Mehrotra, a former Miller Center National Fellow and a professor of law and history at the Maurer School of Law at Indiana University, Bloomington, has published an op-ed in Bloomberg in which he reflects on the significance of the 100th anniversary of the federal income tax. Mehrotra writes: As Tennessee Representative Cordell Hull, one of the chief architects of the new law, explained, the goal of the 1913 income tax was to ensure that the rich were paying their fair share of increasing government expenses. "I have no disposition to tax wealth unnecessarily or unjustly," Hull said on the floor of Congress, "but I do believe that the wealth of the country should bear its just share of the burden of taxation and that it should not be permitted to shirk that duty." Hull intended the income tax to counterbalance the regressive elements of the existing regime. "Something is needed to restore the equilibrium," he said, "and that something can scarcely take any form except that of an income tax." As we commemorate the centennial of the 16th Amendment and look ahead to looming budgetary battles, we ought to keep in mind that the foundations of our modern fiscal state are rooted not in efforts to radically redistribute wealth, but in attempts to balance fiscal duties and civic responsibilities. The progressives who bequeathed this state to us certainly knew the difference. Read the full op-ed here.
