Michael Nakoneczny
Associate Professor, MFA
The jokey text and clunky rendering in Michael Nakoneczny's recent drawings is as primitive as ever, and his cartoonish style – always funny at first - belies the same old sadness. What's new here is an increased worldliness that allows for even greater opportunities for well-intentioned failure. The pathetic likeability of Nakoneczny's sad sack heroes, who never seem to get the joke let alone the girl, is at the heart of this work, making us feel protective even as we cringe at their cluelessness.
Nakoneczny's imagery has always been strongly rooted in his native Chicago, populated as it is by what appear to be slightly geeky working class guys with hearts of gold and inspired by the comic book style of the Hairy Who. Now he's taken his geeks on the road and his new work is full of cultural references that reflect his own years away - in Alaska, Thailand and Cambodia.
In one characteristically clumsy drawing that appears to have been executed in ballpoint pen we see a missionary trying to palm off Christianity on a couple of dubious Eskimos. All three figures are bundled in parkas but we recognize our hometown dork by his round eyes and crucifix.
"Damn I bet she's hot under that thing!" deals with a similar cultural collision. Here a man's contemplation of the discomfort of wearing a burqa gives rise to forbidden thoughts of the physical charms of the woman under it. As usual the artist's alter ego has made an idiotic, and in this case potentially dangerous, faux pas.
Nakoneczny arranges for his clueless American to come out looking badly in every one of these embarrassing moments of cultural misunderstanding and by doing so he arouses in the viewer a revealing mixture of shame and sympathy for a childlike figure who is uncomfortably familiar, and very like the naïve America he represents.
- Margaret Hawkins
Michael Nakoneczny lived in Chicago for over twenty years. He is currently teaching painting at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, Alaska. Michael has received numerous awards including a Rasmuson Foundation Grant, Illinois Art Council Fellowship and an Arts Midwest/NEA Regional Fellowship. He received a BFA from Cleveland State University and an MFA from the University of Cincinnati. Michael Nakoneczny is represented by Zolla/Lieberman Gallery, Inc., Chicago, IL. and Grover Thurston Gallery in Seattle, WA.

Women account for a majority of online spending, some studies say. And women are by far the biggest users of Pinterest.
Women account for most online retail purchases—58% according to a study by the Center for Emerging Female Leadership, which also found that 22% of women shop online at least once a day. Retailers seeking to reach those women shoppers need to be active on Pinterest, the fastest-growing of the major online social networks.
More than a fifth of Americans are now signed up for Pinterest, according to a December 2013 report from the Pew Internet Research Center, up from 15% a year earlier. That made Pinterest the third most-used social network, behind Facebook and LinkedIn. What's more, 6% of adults signed up for Pinterest In 2013, compared to 4% who signed up for Facebook and 2% for Twitter. If this trend continues through 2014, Pinterest will surpass LinkedIn to become the second most-used social network behind only Facebook.
And Pinterest, a site where consumers can collect or "pin" images from around the web, is especially appealing to women. One-third of women in the U.S. use Pinterest, up from the 25% Pew reported in February 2013. Just 8% of men use Pinterest. Among all consumers who earn $75,000 or more a year, 27% use the site.
People on Pinterest are also more able to purchase products they discover while on the site. According to Pew, of online adults who make $75,000 or more a year, 27% use the site.
The sales power of Pinterest
Most consumers don't visit Pinterest several times a day, the way many use Facebook or Twitter. In fact, less than a quarter of Pinterest users head to the site every day, while just under half say they log on less than once a week. But when Pinterest users do check out the site, they are likely to make a purchase based on pins from people and brands they follow.
According to a study from Sprout Insights, Pinterest users are 10% more likely to buy a product they see compared to customers referred from other social networking sites. Another study from Shopify found that orders driven by Pinterest are substantially larger than those produced by Facebook or Twitter.
A study done by Piqora showed each "pin" a user attaches to a board is worth, on average, 78 cents in sales to the brand featured. The study analyzed data from 1,000 brands over a period of nine months ending October 31, 2013 and also found that sales-per-pin has risen 25% since December 2012.
For retailers, a digital strategy including Pinterest can pay off huge dividends. For example, Etsy.com, which features hand-made and vintage items sold by small merchants, claims increased sales after investing in the shaping of its brand image on Pinterest. The company had a team post new products daily to boards, drawing from Etsy items as well as content from other sites. One Etsy shop owner, Rachael Ball of Elephantine, was able to directly tie an increase in site views and sales to Pinterest, according to the Pinterest blog. Ball says her effort on Pinterest has contributed to a 22% increase in page views and a 20% increase in sales.
In order to be most effective on Pinterest, brands should do the following:
Following these three tips ensures consumers will get all the information they need about the product while looking at the pin. Linking the pin directly to a purchase page encourages the user to make the purchase right away; that's more effective than driving a shopper to a home page and leaving it to her to find the product on the site.
If retailers want to get the attention of women, their digital strategy must include Pinterest. Research shows Pinterest users rely on the site to help them make purchasing decisions more often than any other social network. As Pinterest grows its market share, it will prove a logical option for retailers to showcase their products and promote purchases on their web sites, especially to women.

The question has come up in the Emery County Public Lands Council on whether or not the commissioners should remain as voting members of the council. Also, four positions are open on the lands council, the terms of Dennis Worwood, chairman, Tory Killian, Jim Gilson and Dickson Huntington all expired on Dec. 31, 2004. Worwood was on hand to conduct the January meeting. The vacancies were advertised during the month of December and five applications were received from community members.
Ray Petersen requested they advertise again for more applicants to fill the positions as people had indicated to him they missed the advertisement due to the busyness of the month of December. The council agreed that the vacancies be advertised again on Jan. 18 and 25. Applications are available at the clerk's office in the county building. The council will then make a recommendation to the commission for the filling of the vacancies from the applicants applying.
The discussion turned to the council structure. There has been some complaints to council members that the commissioners dominate the council and some people have stated they would like to be a part of the council if the commissioners were not voting members. Petersen went over the structure of the council, in the bylaws it states there are three duly elected commissioners and eight members of the council appointed by the commission. Any changes in the bylaws must be submitted by recommendation by the vote of the council and brought before a public hearing in commission meeting afterwhich the commission could accept, reject or modify the recommended changes.
The public lands council is an advisory council to the commission and the question was asked does it make sense for them to be on the council as well. Then it was stated it was not a question if they should be on the council, but whether or not they should vote. The commission ultimately has the power in the end to accept or reject any proposals or recommendations coming from the lands council on various issues. At this particular council meeting a citizen brought an issue concerning cattle and fencing and the right-of-ways for the passage of cattle. This discussion lasted at least a half an hour. This type of discussion on issues can take place in an indepth nature at the public lands council meetings. The various state and federal agencies as well as the Washington representatives are invited to each meeting to give an update. These work meeting type discussions do not take place at commission meeting. The commission meetings are of a more formal nature where items are approved or not without a lot of background and discussion taking place. The background on the issues is studied ahead of time so decisions can be made in a timely manner.
Commissioner Ira Hatch said if they aren't a part of the discussions and background in the public lands council then it would be harder for them to make an informed decision in commission meeting and some matters might be tabled until the commissioners could be brought up to speed on an issue.
Bruce Wilson, council member, said with removing the commissioners as voting members the council would still like their presence and expertise on the issues at the meeting.
Then the matter was brought up if the commissioners aren't required to be there then maybe other meetings and duties would take precedence over attending the council meeting.
Wilson said how can the council make recommendations if the commissioners can sway the vote. Hatch said the commissioners only represent three votes and the other members carry eight votes and they could vote against the commissioners.
Vernell Rowley, council member, said he thought it would diminish the power of the council without the commissioners.
Sherrel Ward, council member, said he looks to the commissioners as a source of information on issues with which he isn't familiar. He believes the commissioners should be a part of the council.
Wilson said the attempt is not to exclude the commissioners and Ward replied that these meetings might not take precedence over the commissioners other responsibilities.
Wilson asked Hatch how he viewed the role of the council. Hatch said the council is pretty important and a place where people can come in and voice concerns. He views the council as a resource that has worked well over the years as an advisory council. The various user groups have been able to let the commission know how they are thinking and dealing with issues related to their area of expertise. The council gives a better base to make a decision in commission meeting.
Wilson said he did not think the commissioners would lose any of that as nonvoting members.
Huntington said they all have the same goals and interests which is why everyone chooses to be involved with the council in the first place. He doesn't see any sense in eliminating the commissioners.
Worwood gave some background on the formation of the lands council. He said the county hired a firm to do a county master plan about 10 years ago. When the plan came back the commissioners weren't happy with it, so they found county people to write the specific sections of the plan. Craig and Eugene Johansen wrote the water part. Worwood wrote the public lands part, etc. The plan came through the process and was passed. Then the Republicans won control of Congress and the county thought it would be a good time to attempt to take care of the wilderness issue. So, a group was formed to put together a wilderness plan from the county. The plan from the county gave management ideas compatible with what the county people wanted and the legislation went nowhere.
The county recognized the value of having this public lands group and kept the group together that had worked on the county plan.
Huntington said he believes the removal of the commissioners would 'trivialize us.' He supports the commission and the free flow of ideas. He said there are some differences but he thinks they should leave it the way it is.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud said he sits on the Southeastern Resource Advisory Council for the Division of Wildlife Resources. He said that board has no power and they can make recommendations and they go to Salt Lake to the main RAC and they look at the recommendations and do what they want anyway.
Commissioner Gary Kofford said he views the council as a sounding board for the commission and for the public. He said the council has eight votes and with the commissioners three votes they can override the commission on an issue and put some pressure on the commission to find out more about the issue. "It has been said that the commissioners intimidate the rest of the board and you don't dare say what you want. You need to be strong enough to do what's best for the county. You need to appoint people strong enough in your feelings to carry forward and shape where the county goes. When the monument proposal was being talked about it seemed like all the lands council members hid out for two or three months before the vote and didn't really talk about it until a week or two before.
"To begin with I thought the commissioners didn't have a vote and now I've found out they have always had a vote," said Kofford.
It was decided to postpone any decisions on changes to the bylaws until the Feb.8 meeting at 10 a.m. A ballot for voting will be prepared. Voting options could include: leaving the council the same-no change, eliminate the commissioners as voting members and remove them from the council; or retain commissioners on the council as advisory members without voting privileges.

Training Centre Athletes Wrap Up Their French Tour
The Canadian men's full-time training centre athletes wrapped up a French tour late last week, with a game against Sète (Pro A).
Sète took the match 17-25, 14-25, 16-25, 18-25. Top scorer for Canada was Steve Marshall with 14 kills. Marshall was consistently strong on offense during the series of games in France.
"We played our most stable game of the trip," coach Vincent Pichette said of the final match in France.
"Our passing was much better and our block and defense was much more disciplined with 17 and 18 digs in the first and fourth set respectively. Our main issue was converting the many opportunities we had offensively."
They were hosted by the men's volleyball training centre (CNVB) in Montpellier, France.
Results of the Canadian games are as follows:
Canada vs. Avignon (France Pro B Team) on March 19
-Result: 1-4 (16-25, 12-25, 22-25, 26-28, 25-23)
Canada vs. the CNVB (CREPS athletes) on March 20
-Result: 0-5 (15-25, 20-25, 15-25, 20-25, 28-30)
Canada vs. Alès (France Pro B team) on March 25
-Result: 3-1 (25-20, 25-19, 20-25, 25-23)
Canada vs. the CNVB (CREPS athletes) on March 26
-Result: 0-4 (16-25, 22-25, 22-25, 20-25)
Canada vs. Sète (France Pro A Team) on March 27
-Result: 0-4 (17-25, 14-25, 16-25, 18-25)
"The experience was extremely rich in learning opportunities again," said Pichette. This was the second year that the training centre group visited France. "We thank our hosts from the CREPS and the CNVB who were so gracious and generous again this year with providing a high-quality training and competition environment. The information gathered here will be very valuable in finalizing our preparation for try-outs."
The athletes will be resuming their training at the Centre Sportif de Gatineau on April 7 in preparation for the B team Selection Camp which will take place from May 1 to 6 in Gatineau, Que.
For more information on the selection process, please contact Frank Boyer.

The entire situation is quite different today but Putin is behaving somewhat like Mussolini and much like Hitler, both of another time but NATO, a united European force is already established and present on the European continent, supported by the U.S.A.
Even Russia is too much involved in the global trade situation that has develop to the present day to invite war outside of what it considers to be its own historical and traditional realm. But even so its soldiers entered Crimea as masked bandits, everyone knowing that they were Russian military. What a sinister comedy.
What about Alaska? Does Putin want that back? Does he plan to send the masked bandits in or will he offer billions of dollars for it?
Imagine, if Putin were president of the United States and Obama president of Russia, what would then be Putin's response if then Russia wanted Alaska for all the traditional reasons justifying his present claim on Crimea?
But Putin is president of Russia and does his logic, if carried out, demand that he take back Alaska? And can the French also demand all of what was the Louisiana Purchase?
Evidence of Russian settlements in Alaska and along the west coast of Canada is shown on a map (1754) in a history book by Thomas A. Bailey, Stanford University 1947.
Therefore in view of the potential claims Russia may make of U.S.A., America is justified in protection of its present territory by beginning to fortify itself in the Ukraine with it's permission and along the Russian border. Logic is logic, especially when justifying taking over your neighbor's territory.
The world knows what Putin is doing and he should be clearly made aware that we all know that he is a weasel and that his end may be similar to a weasel that Russians fought about a generation or two ago.
It should be made clear that Czar of Russia once made claims on North American territory, an area once called Russian America and Oregon extending into land also claimed both by Canada and the U.S. We have never made claims on Russian territory although we agreed to the purchase of Alaska for $7.2 million.

Painter and Bad @ Sports NYC correspondent, Tom Sanford will moderate a panel of 5 other painters who will talk about painting. Kamrooz Aram, Holly Coulis, David Humphrey, Dike Blair and Deborah Kass not only represent three or four generations of New York painters and are all prominent voices among their cohort, but also represent a wide variety of approaches to the medium.
These, "the Painters of Painting", will discuss the current concerns in painting as well as painting's enduring relevance as a humanistic and idiosyncratic antidote to the prevailing corporate culture of consensus and commodification.
Tom's wrap up e-mail sent to all involved afterwards-
-----Original Message----- From: Tom Sanford Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 7:13 AM To: Tom Sanford Subject: Thanks from PAINTERS/PAINTING Hi Guys I just wanted to send y'all a note to thank the many many of you who came out to the panel and offer my apologies to those who weren't able to get in! I am so sorry that a super turnout put apexart in the position that they had no choice but to not allow a few people in. It was totally packed inside - i actually had an audience member sitting on my lap for most of the talk. But thank you all ever so much for making the effort, i sincerely appreciate the overwhelming show of interest! The incredible turn out certainly speaks to the great enthusiasm for painting in the medium's global capitol city and I think the talk was a success. The panelists (David, Deb, Holly, Dike & Kamroos) were charming and interesting and insightful, i did my best to keep us on course, and Steven Rand and the apexart crew (Cybele, Julia & Julien) were gracious and generous hosts. Best of all the audience has plenty of great questions comments and the occasional well timed out-burst! Special thanks to for really great questions and comments from Daniel Davidson, Alfred Steiner, Michael Anderson, Carlos Fragoso, and George Rodart among others whose names I didn't know - great hustle guys! Anyway, thanks a million for all of your support and interest and remember the most important thing is to keep those brushes wet - and Michael Anderson pointed out with the optimism that we all share for painting and picture making "There are about 9 million new kinds of paintings yet to be made!!" Cheers Tom

SPRING GLEN - Mateo Jack Lafoga Theorine returned home to his Heavenly Father and his Papa, Dec. 19, 2008 after passing away peacefully in his sleep at the young age of 22 months.
Mateo was born Feb. 1, 2007 in Price, Utah, to James Victor Theorine II and Malia Mei Laulu and his big brother James (Kimo) Victor Theorine III.
Mateo was a pillar of light to all that knew him. His beautiful smile and his golden locks of hair were just a tiny glimpse of our fun loving little boy. Mateo loved his family and his many friends, and loved to share kisses and hugs and the occasional love tap with all of them.
Though very young, Mateo loved sports, any kind of balls, four-wheelers, daddy's motorcycle, the trampoline, dancing and most of all his binky.
Mateo was a very happy and energetic little boy who loved others unconditionally. He was always a comforter for those that needed comforting, and would be the first to stand up for you in a fist fight, but would always love that person better when he was done beating them up.
Mateo loved to go bye-bye. He loved to get his coat and shoes on, and be the first one ready for any adventure. He was often found being curious and self-entertained, with the cutest mischievous smile that was contagious to everyone. Mateo embraced and loved the music of his cultures and would express his love by dancing.
Mateo was not a little man of many words, but always knew how to express to anyone what he wanted, whether it was him pointing and grunting, or leading you right to it.
Mateo was preceded in death by his papa Lafoga Laulu Jr. (grandfather), Jack Callor (grandfather), Anita Marie Arballo (aunt). Mateo is survived by his mom and dad, Malia Mei Laulu and James Victor Theorine II, his brother James (Kimo) Victor Theorine III, his grandparents, Patricia Laulu, James Victor Theorine, Emma Bea Callor, Annalillia Guiterrez, his aunts and uncles, Sulika (Scott) Merrell, Juan (Ann) Theorine, Rebecca (Jason Ochoa) Laulu, Perry Laulu, his cousins, Kalani Vai Laulu, Sai'peti Epomaikaimaikeakuaokalaniikeiaohanaalii Merrell, Graciann Marie Theorine and many of his extended family and friends that love him very dearly.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2008 at 11 a.m. at the Price Fourth - Fifth Ward Building, 380 East 400 North - Price, Utah. A viewing was Monday, Dec. 22, 2008 from 6-8 p.m. at Fausett Mortuary, 680 East 100 South in Price and Tuesday from 10-10:45 a.m. at the church prior to the services. Interment will be in the Cliffview Cemetery.
Services are in the care of Fausett Mortuary.

I fell asleep in the lobby of the Bethesda Marriott this morning.
No, I wasn't a hotel guest who'd been turned out of her room. I was grading papers while waiting on Ella Numera Una, who spent the a.m. interviewing at a local jobs fair.
A comfy combination of sun streaming in through a large lobby window, the droning of CNN on a nearby plasma, the snug recesses of an overstuffed chair and a sizeable pile of AP Lang essays lulled me into a mid-morning nap.
Not to complain, but one of the reasons I've posted so irregularly this fall is because of my workload. The truth about teaching is that it's not a nine-to-five job. Can't get up and leave in the middle of a kiddo's question; can't leave the stresses of the workplace at the workplace.
The job follows me, 24/7. I'm either thinking about a lesson, planning a lesson, grading a pile of student papers or cogitating an assignment that will, most certainly, lead to more papers, more grading.
Yes, I have some colleagues who are fine with the relaxing pace of arriving at 7:30 and departing shortly after 2 p.m, or thereabouts. They screen films for their students; they assign few papers; they never stress at all. In fact, one of our teachers showed a World Cup match for his 10th-graders last spring, in lieu of giving a final exam.
Unfortunately ~ for me, at least ~ I'm not one of those profesoras. I firmly believe that a cherub can't properly matriculate without a little deep brain stimulation, of the old-fashioned kind.
So, I guess as long I'm still in the game, I'll keep up the complaint. And catch some shut-eye when I can.
Editor's Note: The serene sight posted above features the sun sinking into North Carolina's Currituck Sound. I visited The OBX a couple of weeks ago, to re-charge the old batteries. What a sensationally serene place!

Nice, but not worth the price
"I searched high and wide for the perfect snow boot, and I finally came across a pair with my name on it, literally!! I was excited about these boots, but so far they are just ok. They feel slightly snug when I first put them on, but I think it's because the fit is more narrow, and they do feel ok once I start moving around. My big problem is that they are just a tad long, and when I walk they sort of flop a little off my feet. If I walk too fast (I'm a speed walker), my socks start to come off due to the smooth fabric texture. Not sure if I can keep these..."

Cut poorly.
"I live in the Northeast and we have been having a ridiculously snowy winter. I realized that I needed snow boots, so I ordered these. I was so excited, and then they arrived. When I tried these on, I was so disappointed. The size was right, but it was tight near my toes, and the heel area was extremely wide. I tried walking in them and my heel just kept popping out of the back of the boot. I had no choice but to return these. The search continues..."

So Cute!
"I love these boots! I ordered them for the color. They will go great with my hot pink snow pants. I usually wear a size 6.5. But I really feel that a size 7 will be more comfortable for walking for long periods of time - especially if I wear thick socks. So I am going to order a size 7 and return the 6.5 boots."

Wondering why this might be..
4 MHz crystal (don't have an 8 MHz
wondering why the LED is not blinking exactly HALF the speed (it's blinking around quarter or less the speed) if I'm using a 4 mhz.
Perhaps it's expected to just be less RELIABLE at a crystal beyond the datasheet-listed speed grade?

By By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The two Emery County high schools went into last week's state track meet with hopes that their star players would do well and the local fans were not disappointed with the results. Three county athletes returned home as state champions with one having double the good results.
Freshman Ashlynn Allred has been talked about all season as the Canyon View junior high student ran well again. Allred won the 100-meters with a time of 12.62. This time was .18 faster than second place, about three steps. In the 200-meters, Allred set a new 2-A state record with a time of 25.50. This was .51 seconds faster than the next racer. Junior Brendan Jorgensen, Castle Dale, won the 300-meter hurdles in 40.29 and Justin Johnson, senior at Green River High, threw well in the javelin and took home the medal with a throw of 182'2.50".
Allred paced the Lady Spartans to a second place finish in the 2-A girls division. Although far behind pre-meet favorite North Summit, Emery edged out Beaver for their best finish in years. Emery's region co-horts, San Juan and Grand finished in the next two positions. Emery scored 57 points to Beaver's 51. North Summit scored 159 points as they won eight events.
Allred finished fourth in the long jump as she still got off a 16'6" jump despite having a sore knee, which made it more difficult to jump off. Allred also ran the final leg of the 4x100 meter relay and the team finished third. Also on the relay team were Catherine Dyer, Hailee Rogers and Blayr Jeffs.
Brendan paced the Spartans to a seventh place finish with his win. Region 15 teams, Grand and Richfield battled it out for the top spot with Grand winning again this season as they repeated for another state team title.
Justin Johnson scored the only points for the Pirate boys with his win. Taylor Johnson finished eighth in the 100 hurdles and Dallice Johnson finished fourth in the 1-A long jump with a jump of 15'01". It was a good day to have the Johnson last name.
Hailee Rogers ran a 1:00.30 400-meter final and finished second in the event for the next best finish for a Lady Spartan. Rogers also ran on the 4x400-meter relay team and the team finished second with a time of 4:12.08. Jessica Guymon, Blayr Jeffs and Hanna Dyer were also on the team.
Also placing for the Lady Spartans was Jessica Guymon. Jessica finished third in the 800-meter race and third in the javelin with a throw of 104'4.75". The sprint medley relay team of Blayr Jeffs, Hailee Rogers, Hanna Dyer and Jessica Guymon finished fourth in the event.
Tyler Rowley also ran the 300-meter hurdles event well and Rowley finished fourth in the event to score for Emery. Scott Jackson finished third in the 400-meters to be the only boy to place in the sprints or distance races. Jackson ran a 50.64.
The three relay teams all placed in the meet. The 4x400 team finished fourth with the 4x100 team and the sprint relay team each finishing seventh. The 4x400 team consisted of Tyler Pulli, David Dyer, Nagel Viera and Scott Jackson. The 4x100 team consisted of Dyer, Jorgensen, Jackson and Jared Shakespeare. The medley team consisted of Dyer, Jackson, Pulli and Rowley.
Emery had four other individuals place in field events. Taylor Hansen finished third in the high jump with a jump of 6 foot with freshman Dillon Wilstead jumping 5'10" and Wilstead finished eighth. Brandon McCandless finished third in the shot put with a throw of 40'1.5". Jorgensen jumped 20'1" in the long jump to finish fifth.
While the two Spartan teams finished well and have many of their top athletes returning next season, the teams will need to expand their number of participants competing for the team along with many individuals stepping up with good performances if they want to challenge for team titles. That was the common theme if one looked at the Grand, Richfield or North Summit teams. Those schools take track very seriously and so do those competing on the track or in the field. Never the less, this was a good year for the local high schools.

By age two, your toddler should be eating three healthy meals a day, plus one or two snacks. He can eat the same food as the rest of the family. With his improved language and social skills, he'll become an active participant at mealtimes if given the chance to eat with everyone else. Do not fixate on amounts and do not make mealtimes a battle. Do, however, pay attention to adopting healthy eating habits and making healthy food choices as a family. Sitting as a family at mealtime is the beginning of a good habit, too!
Fortunately, your child's feeding skills have become relatively "civilized" by now. At age two, he can use a spoon, drink from a cup with just one hand, and feed himself a wide variety of finger foods. But while he can eat properly, he's still learning to chew and swallow efficiently, and may gulp his food when he's in a hurry to get on with playing. For that reason, the risk of choking is high, so avoid the following foods, which could be swallowed whole and block the windpipe.
Ideally, make sure your child eats from each of the basic four food groups each day:
Don't be alarmed, however, if he doesn't always meet this ideal. Many toddlers resist eating certain foods, or for long periods insist on eating only one or two favorite foods. The more you struggle with your child over his eating preferences, the more determined he'll be to defy you. As we suggested earlier, if you offer him a variety of foods and leave the choices to him, he'll eventually consume a balanced diet on his own. He may be more interested in healthful foods if he can feed them to himself. So, whenever possible, offer him finger foods (i.e., fresh fruits or raw vegetables other than carrots and celery) instead of cooked ones that require a fork or spoon to eat.
Vitamin supplements are rarely necessary for toddlers who eat a varied diet. However, supplemental iron may be needed if your child eats very little meat, iron-fortified cereal, or vegetables rich in iron. Large quantities of milk (more than 32 ounces [960 ml] per day) also may interfere with the proper absorption of iron, thus increasing the risk of iron deficiency. Your child should drink 16 ounces (480 ml) of low-fat or nonfat milk each day. This will provide most of the calcium he needs for bone growth and still not interfere with his appetite for other foods, particularly those that provide iron.
A vitamin D supplement of 400 IU per day is important for children who are not regularly exposed to sunlight, are consuming less than 32 ounces per day of vitamin D–fortified milk, or do not take a daily multivitamin supplement containing at least 400 IU of vitamin D. This amount of vitamin D can prevent rickets.

Beezus and Ramona. Ramona the Pest. Ramona Quimby, Age 8. . . aah the staples of my childhood. There was nothing like a Beverly Cleary book paired with a comfy couch and snack to take me to my happy place. And if you guys love the Ramona books as much as I do, then you'll be psyched for the movie, Ramona and Beezus (rated G)!
In true Ink Splot 26 style, we've got interviews with the stars of the movie: Selena Gomez (Beezus) and Joey King (Ramona). We asked Selena . . .
Q: Did you read Beezus and Ramona before doing the movie?
Selena: I actually read them when I was in third grade! Then once I got the part, I reread the books.
Q: Were you a big Beverly Cleary fan when you were a kid?
Selena: Yes. Oh my goodness. That book [Beezus & Ramona series] and The Wizard of Oz were the only books I could reread over and over and over again. I absolutely loved them.
Q: Beezus is a nickname for Beatrice. Do you have any nicknames?
Selena: People called me Sel a lot when I was younger. They still do!
Q: In real life do you identify more with Beezus or with Ramona?
Selena: Probably Ramona. Beezus is hard for me to get into because she's very uncomfortable in her skin, and trying to be someone that she's not half the time.
Q: What is the most unusual talent that you have that people don't know?
Selena: I can make a really amazing cheesecake. I'm not too good at cooking (I would like to learn), but an amazing cheesecake I can make! That's for sure.
Q: What is your favorite subject in school?
Selena: Biology. I'm completely fascinated with our world, our planet itself, and how it works.
Q: What will you take away as a memory from making Ramona and Beezus?
Selena: It was my first feature film. I'd done television and DVDs and stuff that I'm comfortable with. This was very hard for me. . . But in the end I actually learned a lot about movies, about people, and Joey [King] who played my little sister became my sister. She's just so sweet and wonderful.
Bringing us to our next interview. . . with Joey King, who plays Ramona:
Q: Had you read Beezus and Ramona before you started working on the movie?
Joey: Well, I'm gonna be honest with you – I only read one of them. Then when I found out I got the part, I read all the rest and then I loved them!
Q: Did you become a Beverly Cleary fan after reading them?
Joey: Yes, of course I did! I love Beverly Cleary after that. I thought the books were great.
Q: What kind of books besides Beverly's books do you like to read?
Joey: Sometimes I like to read scary books like Goosebumps.
Q: Is Joey a nickname for anything?
Joey: No, Joey is my full name. I was named after my grandfather. I mean that's my full first name.
Q: What do you like best about Ramona?
Joey: I like that she is crazy and out there and she isn't ever shy.
Q: Tell me about Selena Gomez. What was it like to work with her?
Joey: I had the best time working with her! We were really close. I did see her show before the movie and I really liked her show and I thought, "Hey, if I get to work with Selena Gomez, then that's really cool." She's a really nice girl, and she's a person just like everyone else.
Q: What book are you reading right now?
Joey: I'm actually reading Henry and the Paper Route [by Beverly Cleary] and I really like it. I like that Henry, even though he's only ten he doesn't give up on trying to get his paper route. And he's a really nice guy because he adopted kittens from a rummage sale. He found them and he bought one from the litter. He's just a really great kid and he's pursuing his dreams, and I like that.
Q: I read you've been acting since you were four?
Joey: Yes. My sisters were in acting and my mom put me in it and I've loved it ever since.
Q: Are you in regular school?
Joey: I'm home-schooled with an online program. Well I haven't always been home-schooled. But I do like being home-schooled and I don't really miss regular school because I still have all the same friends.
Q: You've done a lot of food commercials. Did you ever have a bad experience?
Joey: I don't like spitting in spit buckets. It makes me want to puke! It's so disgusting.
[Ratha: When actors have to do food scenes in movies or commercials, they usually do a lot of takes. So, rather than actually eating the food, they chew it, then spit it into a spit bucket when the camera stops rolling. Yuck! I'd hate to be the guy who has to clean THAT bucket!]
And there you have it folks! You can also check out the transcript of our Live Chat with Joey when she was here. And let us know what you think in the Comments!

Call it a show of patriotic pride. Or call it a crass red-white-and-blue marketing ploy.
Either way, the city of Las Vegas has ordered a Hummer dealership to take down an American flag that flies 100 feet above the business.
Dan Towbin, owner of Towbin Hummer, said he was in disbelief at the City Council's decision this week to require the business to take down the 30-by-60-foot Stars and Stripes that has flown since May 2006 in front of the dealership.
"It's ridiculous in today's day and age to suggest removing an American flag," he said.
Towbin must remove the flag within 60 days, though he said he was contemplating a lawsuit to challenge the council's unanimous action.
When Towbin originally got approval for his flag in May 2006, he agreed to a six-month review, contingent on complaints from neighbors of the dealership on Sahara Avenue near Lindell Road.
At Wednesday's City Council meeting, some residents showed up to complain about the noise from the flapping flag when the wind blows and the aesthetic effect of the looming flag pole.
At the meeting last year, Towbin employee Carl Marcello told the City Council that the dealership planned to build a memorial for military veterans at the base of the flag pole.
On Wednesday, council members and others questioned why Towbin had not built the memorial.
Steve Sanson, president of the locally based Veterans in Politics International, said he didn't believe the flag was about love of country but was instead intended to make the Hummer dealership a landmark.
"What disturbs us is the exploitation of veterans," said Sanson, a Marine in Desert Storm. The flag "is being used for selfish financial gain."
Wayne Earl, 80, who lives near the dealership, said he wasn't bothered by the noise like some of his neighbors but wanted it removed anyway.
"I like to see the flag flown. I don't like to see the flag used as a commercial draw," said the World War II veteran. "It should be flown reverently, not auspiciously."
Towbin insisted the flag is only about his patriotism.
"Whether my heart is in the right place, only I would know that," he said. "How would anyone else know that?"
He pointed to his involvement at Nellis Air Force Base where, he said, he is an honorary commander.
Towbin said the veterans memorial hasn't been built because he was waiting for the City Council's final approval of the flag.
A video of last May's City Council meeting shows Marcello, with Towbin standing next to him, telling the council that he understands they can review and order the flag pole removed after six months. Marcello then said the flag would be dedicated with a plaque and representatives from Nellis Air Force Base to coincide with the city's centennial celebration, which ended later that month.
The six-month review slipped through the cracks at City Hall, and it wasn't until recently that residents approached Councilwoman Lois Tarkanian to ask her about it.
Those for and against the flag's location lobbed accusations of un-Americanism at their opponents on Wednesday.
Towbin read a letter written by Joseph Esposito, president of Liberty Lock & Safe, next to the dealership.
The flag "fills my entire team of 55 employees with pride," Esposito wrote. "Any individual or group that would refer to this symbol of America as a nuisance, eyesore, or noisemaker should be looked at by the Department of Homeland Security to see where their sympathies lie."
Esposito, reached at his store Thursday, said he was "outraged" by the council's vote.
But Tarkanian, after extolling her love of the flag, told Towbin, "You're not doing this for the right reason."
Last May, Tarkanian had made a motion to allow Towbin to erect a 75-foot flag pole. But Towbin had said he had already bought the 100-foot pole and the flag. Tarkanian's motion failed 6 to 1.
Mayor Oscar Goodman then made the motion to allow Towbin to build the 100-foot-tall flag pole, with a six-month review.
"I would say publicly, whatever this body decides to do, I will live by it," Towbin said.
On Thursday, Goodman said he voted to take down the flag because the veterans memorial was not built.
Goodman said Towbin can reapply for a new flag pole.
The mayor also parried any accusations that the council's decision is unpatriotic by pointing to an ordinance passed under his watch that bans homeowner's associations from prohibiting the flying of American flags.
But Alan Lichtenstein, general council for the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada, said flags can't get any special treatment under the law.
"There can be reasonable time, place and manner restrictions," he said. "But there can't be special rules based on content."
Lichtenstein noted, however, that the city gives variances all the time, often inconsistently.
David Chesnoff, Towbin's attorney, said any potential lawsuit would argue that "the decision was arbitrary and capricious, and also because of the First Amendment implications, that you can't fly a flag you've been flying for a year."
This isn't the first run-in Towbin has had with the city over flags.
Just before Memorial Day in 2004, Las Vegas code enforcement ordered small flags flying from vehicles at the Prestige Infiniti dealership removed because they were "attention gaining devices."
Towbin said he continued to fly the flags on the cars, and the city backed off after the story got national attention.

Preschool Director's Message
Thank you for your interest in the San José State University Child Development Laboratory Preschool. Located on this website are an application form [pdf] | calendar and fee schedule [pdf] that you can download and print, the current , and the campus map. We follow the University calendar, which means that the children begin and end their school year at about the same times SJSU students are attending classes.
The Lab Preschool programs are located in two buildings. The toddler program (for two-year-olds) is Sweeney Hall room 117-O. The observation room is 117-J where parents and visitors are always welcome to go and watch the activity in the classroom when children are present. The toddler classes are in session from 9:00 to 11:00. There are morning and afternoon programs for three- through five-year-old children in the Central Classroom Building (CCB) room 118. The morning class is scheduled from 9:00-11:30, and the afternoon class runs from 12:30 to 3:00. The observation room for these classes is located in CCB 117. We ask that you not bring children on your visit to the observation rooms because neither is child proof.
For short visits a few parking places in twenty-minute zones are available for parking near to our facilities. We suggest that parents wishing to park longer use the garage near the corner of Seventh and San Carlos. There is a parking fee for visitors. Be sure to check the kiosks in the garage..
We invite you to observe our programs whenever you have time to visit San José State University. If you would like to enroll your child, please print out and complete the application form. I will contact you as soon as we have an opening. If you have additional questions, please call 408-924-3725 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Director, CD Laboratory Preschool
