Next up
The next science-focused workshop for kids ages 9 to 14 will be Nanodays from 2 to 4 pm. March 30. Kids can learn about microscopically small technology through hands-on activities presented by WOW! Children's Museum and the University of Colorado. Registration is required at the Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library Teen Zone desk or by calling 720-887-2360.
Bending over color-coded circuit boards, pairs of children and teens connected wires to illuminate lightbulbs and set off whining buzzers.
The hands-on lab, which took place Saturday at the Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library, explored the basics of building live circuits with transistors, resistors and capacitors. As part of the library's focused science programming, the class aimed to introduce children to the world of engineering and inspire kids to take initiative when learning about science topics.
Instructor Fred Gluck said he hopes the workshop, and others like it, inspire children to pursue careers in science and technology fields.
As the 22 children examined the circuit boards and plugged in different wires, he urged them to stay curious about engineering, math and science as they got older.
"We need you, we need all of you" he said, stressing that boys and girls should work together to address the world's future health and technology issues, such as cancer research and environmental problems. "When I'm old an infirm, I'll need you to help solve these problems. It's a technological world ... and even if you don't want to be a scientist, you still have to learn how to program the DVR."
Staff and volunteers at the library want to make science fun and accessible to help children get a leg up on tech-related fields in the future.
To do that, the library hosts regular science workshops and a weekly tutoring program for math and science subjects.
The library's science task force, made up of volunteers from fields such as engineering and biotech, gets together regularly to decide how best to open up a world that could pave the way for the next generation's physicists, engineers, biochemists and others.
"We get feedback from the kids about what they want to see ... and we also pick items that we think will help scientific literacy for all age groups," said Jim Morgan, a science task force volunteer with an IT background.
Popular requests include explanations of video game technology, electronics and marine biology, he said.
Lily Maisano, a 12-year-old home school student, said the workshops are a fun way to learn more about topics she's interested in. She's not sure if she'll pursue a tech career, but for now is content to learn all she can.
"I just really enjoy all of this stuff," she said.
Gwen Nicodemus, another science task force volunteer, said it is important to design programs that will draw in a variety of kids, not just those she said "self-select" for a greater interest in science workshops and hands-on labs.
A 2011 study by the Smithsonian Institute showed that only 28 of Americans were deemed "scientifically literate," and that number would decrease with future generations if science education was not made a more pressing priority. Scientific literacy is a basic understanding of science reasoning and an ability to evaluate data and methods.
"Without scientific literacy in today's adult population and in generations to come, our nation stands to lose its ability to compete on a global scale," Smithsonian Secretary Wayne Clough stated in the research paper.
Gluck said he doesn't want to see more students lose interest in science as they get older. A longtime volunteer in schools, he said he sees a disturbing pattern where girls become less and less interested in the field with each passing year.
He said elementary school-age girls tell him the boys dominate science class discussions and make topics seem less accessible to them, even though they're sharp enough to get good grades on the tests and have the right answers when they're called on.
"We have to change that somehow," he said.
Yet both male and female students at the higher grades are taking challenging math and science classes and looking for help to make the grade, said Pauline Noomnam, a teen librarian.
Each week, the library hosts the Boost Your Brain science and math tutoring group, which offers free homework and test help. Problem-solving is a big goal of the tutoring group, which started about four years ago as a partnership between the library and Sandoz, a pharmaceutical company with a location in Broomfield.
"Since I've been here, we've seen more and more participants every week for tutoring," Noomnam said.
The program is one of several partnerships with Sandoz. The company also donates about $1,000 a year to the library and its first-floor science center. Employees also lead programs such as hands-on chemistry workshops.
Noomnam said the library will continue to partner with Sandoz, as well as the University of Colorado and other science organizations, to put together even more science programs. In the next few months, the focus will include nanotechnology and astronomy topics.
Back at the circuit board workshop, Noomnam said the programs have a strong following.
"Yes, there's definitely some familiar faces here," she said, looking around as the children bent over their circuit boards in concentration. Buzzers on the boards began to sound, signalling the group had successfully completed the circuit. The kids laughed.
"This is so cool," one student said.

Dr. Harvey M. Wiley, food purity crusader
Atlantic City, N.J., July 16, 1908
Dr. Wiley of the Government's "Poison Squad," Talks of Foods.
"Better bread making would lead to fewer divorces," said Dr. H. M. Wiley, of the government's "poison squad" in an address before the American Biscuit Makers association.
"Good bread, in my opinion," he added, "would help solve the American evil of divorce. If the bakers make good bread and they educate the people to buy it, the great destroyer of domestic happiness, dyspesia, would be removed and we will hear no more of the divorce problem."
Quoted from the Lewiston Evening Journal, Lewiston, Maine, July 16, 1908, page 1, column 3.
Ah, dyspesia, the wrecker of marriages! Apparently, "dyspesia" is an old-time medical term that encompassed a list of indigestive symptoms: gas, bloating, belching, nausea, heartburn, etc. I agree with the doctor that it would be a very good thing indeed to eliminate those things from marriage.
I'm smiling at the thought of Victorian spouses enduring each other's dyspesia, but I'm also remembering that food purity regulation was in its infancy in 1908. Contaminated, spoiled, and unsafe ingredients were a huge problem.
Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley, (1844-1930) was the Dr. Wiley of the newspaper story I quoted above. He was the chief chemist of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) from 1882-1912. His research into food safety changed the lives of Americans then and still affects us today.
|Dr. Wiley in his laboratory at the USDA
Because of the publicity generated by Dr. Wiley and the Poison Squads, the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 was passed by Congress and signed by President Theodore Roosevelt. Surprisingly, this act did not eliminate the food preservatives mentioned above.
"While Wiley agreed that small amounts of preservatives were harmless and could slow food spoilage, he also argued that the accumulation of additives posed a public health threat, because it was not possible to control how much a person ate over time. He was ultimately unsuccessful in fighting food preservatives, but borax, salicylic acid, formaldehyde, and copper sulfate fell out of use." (Source: "Pioneering Consumer Advocate Gave Rise to FDA")
After Dr. Wiley left the USDA in 1912, he accepted a position with Good Housekeeping magazine, where he founded the Good Housekeeping laboratories and the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval and continued his crusade for safer food.
In honor of his many years of public service and his pioneering work in food safety, Dr. Wiley is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Liberty News
Students address City Council on polling place
|Israel Jackson was one of dozens of students to speak at the Feb. 23 public hearing.
During Liberty University's convocation on Monday, Feb. 22, Matthew Mihelic, president of the Student Government Association (SGA), invited students to join him at the Lynchburg City Council meeting on Feb. 23 to voice concerns at a public hearing about the possibility of moving the Ward III polling place, where students have turned out by the thousands to vote in previous elections.
Council was considering moving the site from Heritage Elementary School to the Lynchburg First Church of the Nazarene on Wards Ferry Road. The proposed precinct change to the Nazarene church is a location some LU administrators and students believed was being considered because Council wanted to make it difficult for buses carrying LU voters. On a test drive at the proposed polling site, a GLTC bus bottomed out, causing damage to the bus and to the pavement.
"The first thing that I need from you is that I need you to come with me," Mihelic said at Monday's convocation. "If there are any of you that can make it, I need you to come … So we need to go there with the love of Christ and we need to show them that we care — let's tell America that we care."
Students responded and boarded buses to ride to City Hall for Tuesday's meeting. Before the buses left, Mihelic paced in and out of a crowd that grew to about 200 students. Mihelic called them in for prayer, and then said, "You don't want to be timid, but you don't want to be overly political either. You want to go there in a spirit of love, just like we have in the past."
Students rode beneath the glittering lights of the Snowflex Centre and passed the humming neon displays of Candlers Station shopping center and Thomas Road Baptist Church — sites nearby campus and offered (but later denied) as alternative polling places for the precinct. Chatter filled the buses about the City Council meeting — some students had never before been to the historic downtown area.
The turnout of students pouring into City Hall was such that many had to be directed from entering the chamber, and pointed upstairs to the "overflow room." Sparky, the Liberty Flames' mascot, joined the crowd — adding to the fervor normally attributed to sporting events.
Natasha Hudson, a freshman nursing student from Brooklyn, N.Y., came to the meeting because she felt that "something needs to be changed" in regard to the polling location, since it is difficult for many students to get out and vote. Hudson, who lives off campus, voted locally in November 2009 and plans on voting again on May 4.
Minutes before meeting, Mayor Joan Foster came upstairs and greeted the students. "Thank you for being here," she said to one student, and patted her back.
Two Lynchburg natives were the first to speak, one of which said, "I resent anyone coming into my house wanting to rearrange my furniture."
Mihelic was then the first Liberty student to speak, followed by others affiliated with the university who spent the next few hours relating their frustrations with the polling location situation — all saying they would vote no matter what.
About 30 LU students spoke, many expressing the same sentiments about the change in venue. Many said they felt "disenfranchised" and as if they were treated "as second-class citizens" when an alternative polling place was being considered.
"Whether it takes us running, jogging, flying, swimming — we will vote on May 4," said student Israel Jackson.
After the public hearing, council members expressed that they would have to choose between the "lesser of two evils." While Heritage Elementary is not the optimum venue (the school is scheduled to be open that day), the Nazarene church would prove to be unsafe for many.
Councilman Turner Perrow Jr. expressed his gratitude for how Liberty students became involved.
"Comcast broadcasts all City Council meetings on Channel 15. I think one of the best things that happened tonight is that the city of Lynchburg got to see you as individuals. It's easy to paint with a broad brush what Liberty University is and it's easy to throw darts at a big target like that. But to see the individuals and to see your individual views and opinions, I think that moment was priceless and I think that the city will really appreciate that. So thank you for coming out and speaking your mind."
At the end of the meeting, council members cast their votes for a 7-0 decision to keep the Ward III polling place at Heritage Elementary.
Liberty Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr., posted the following on his Facebook status after the meeting: "[I] just watched the three-hour public hearing downtown and [have] never been more proud of LU's students. In my opinion, the students demonstrated to the local community that they are independent thinkers and exemplary citizens of the city who represent Jesus Christ and LU well!"

Simon5 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 66 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
Denovio is a new company that will be providing technology services and solutions. It will provide a range of products and services based around online transactions and the online or connected world that we live in today.
Example of products would be automated billing/payment services, networks (internet/wan connections), point of sale software, and possibly some hardware. Services would all be hosted or cloud based services.
A major part of the company will be software development and subsequent services.
The products are designed to be low cost but high volume in nature, primarily aimed at business, but may also include some consumer online services. Based around a pay-per-use model, cost of acquiring services will be very low.
This project is for the design of a corporate logo for Denovio. It should be a logo that is not based upon any one product, does not appear 'techy', but generic enough that it does not represent any one product or service - it needs to represent the company.
a possible tag line for the company could be 'solutions for a connected world'

The On To the Future Program (OTF) is a grassroots initiative of the Geological Society of America (GSA) that addresses the organization's overall strategic commitment to building a diverse geoscience community by engaging groups traditionally underrepresented in the geosciences. The OTF Program awards partial travel scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students, and recent graduates studying in the geosciences, to attend their first GSA Annual Meeting.
At the Annual Meeting students are provided opportunities to better understand the array of geoscience research and career options, and build personal networks within the scientific and professional community. For many OTF students, the Annual Meeting is the focal point in their professional development that helps them make informed decisions about a career in the geosciences.
Beyond the Annual Meeting, OTF students are a part of a growing network of diverse geoscience leaders, informed with career and leadership tools to build a robust, knowledgeable, and engaged scientific community. Read more about OTF's history and facts here.

Wayland director, actors to present dinner theatre at Country Club
PLAINVIEW – A dinner theatre production reminiscent of the old-time variety shows will provide a special opportunity for Plainview residents to enjoy the holiday season.
"Charlie Hoffman's Vintage Christmas Variety Show" will be presented on Thursday, Dec. 14 at the Plainview Country Club Civic Center, with a meal served beforehand and the show to follow. The event begins at 6 p.m.
The show is serving double duty for some Wayland Baptist University students, who are directing and performing in the production. Rita Pitts, a junior theatre major from Plainview, is directing the show, a role which counts toward her senior theatre practicum as well. Lisa Angel, a senior from Wylie, is assistant director.
A departure from the normal WBU theatre productions, this show features short skits and songs with many familiar pieces.
"This is kind of like the Dean Martin-Frank Sinatra variety shows they used to do years ago," explained Pitts. "It includes skits like Abbott and Costello's 'Who's on First,' 'Vitameatavegamin' and Monty Python's 'Argument Clinic.'"
Pitts compiled the production herself, pulling some classic skits and others and writing the introductory portions for the show's "host" Charlie Hoffman, played by WBU sophomore Thomas Hoffman. She enlisted Wayland student actors Grant Jasper, Mary Feril and Tim Fisher, all senior theatre veterans, and freshman Rachel Morgan to act in the show. Morgan will also sing a few numbers in the production, following the true variety show format.
Pitts said when approached to help with the production by entertainment coordinator Kim Street, she felt the variety show format would be a bit easier and more enjoyable for guests than a full-blown, full-length play. That didn't quite hold true.
"We still had to design a set, design costumes, write parts for the host and put everything in order, so it's been a lot of work," Pitts said, adding that the change in venue gave the production a whole new feel. "We're entertaining the general public here, so it's a little more intimidating than the Wayland stage."
Pitts said the show, for which she and the cast began working in September, will last around an hour.
Tickets to the dinner theatre are $35 and the show is open to the public. Reservations can be made by calling the Plainview Country Club at 293-2445.

Black Friday, or Brown Thursday as one shopper jokingly called it, attracted both early birds and night owls when Davidson County retailers began opening Thursday.
Black Friday, or Brown Thursday as one shopper jokingly called it, attracted both early birds and night owls when Davidson County retailers began opening around 8 Thanksgiving night with staggered specials.
Despite the bitter cold temperatures, shoppers braved the elements for a deal. Belk's advertised prices enticed a line of over 250 shoppers with an hour to go before the doors opened at midnight. Some people were hopping in place to stay warm, some bundled with heavy coats and earmuffs, and someone even laid down on the sidewalk and curled into the fetal position with a blanket wrapped snuggly around her.
The four women at the front of the line — Tammy Johnson, Beverly Phillips, Lisa Whitley and Kayla Phillips — shivered with their arms tucked in their sleeves. They arrived at Belk around 8 p.m. but didn't immediately get out of their heated car. When others began showing up about a half an hour later, the group hightailed it to the front door to be the first in line.
The four had seen the crowds of Black Friday before, but Johnson had never done anything like this.
"I like watching the people go after the sales," Johnson said, adding that as soon as her friend Phillips had the cowboy boots she desired they would travel to h.h. gregg in Winston-Salem. "As soon as we leave, we're going to do it again."
Shopping with friends or family on such a crowded day is a must for some. Debra Tysinger has battled the Black Friday crowds for more than 10 years and with buggies in hand, Tysinger, her four daughters, a daughter-in-law and two friends whom she called family stood in line at Walmart to purchase multiple items ranging from a televisions to a fire pit.
"We got here about 7 p.m. I wanted more fire pits, but the crowd about knocked me down. I came for four and ended up with one," Tysinger said about 10:20 p.m.
Even though the deals drew the women to Walmart, the friendship and quality time keep them coming back year after year.
"The best part is spending time with my girls. We're going to be shopping all night long … we're not stopping till the money runs out," Tysinger said.
But for some, a marathon of store purchases was not their idea of a good time. Tabitha Story arrived at Walmart around 3:30 p.m. for a 40-inch Emerson television priced at $198. She has been showing up at area stores on Black Friday for the past six years, but Thursday night would not be too long of a night for her.
"After I get my television, I'm going home," Story said.
As the sales become better and better and marketers find new ways to bring customers into their store on one of the largest shopping days of the year, first-timers ventured out of the comfort of their home to see what all the fuss was about.
New to the scene was one female customer who arrived at five minutes to 10 p.m. for the Emerson television at Walmart. She was annoyed when she discovered the 25 vouchers had already been given out, arguing that the sale was advertised for 10 p.m. The line for the television wound its way through Walmart's frozen food section.
Another newbie to Black Friday, Iris Mauney, figured she would try shopping on Black Friday for the first time because she didn't have to get up so early Friday with many sales beginning at 10 p.m. and midnight Thursday.
"I was walking up the parking lot, looking at all the people and I said, 'This is the craziest thing I have ever done!'" Mauney said.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2006 Media Releases
Mayor thanks Parks Foundation for assisting with purchase
Mayor Coleen Seng today thanked the Lincoln Parks Foundation for coordinating the purchase of six automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to be placed at the five municipal golf courses and the Woods Park Tennis Center.
"We hope that the AEDs will not be needed," said Mayor Seng. "But we are very grateful that they will be available at City golf courses and the Woods Tennis Center in case of a cardiac emergency."
Earlier this year, Assistant Director of Athletics and Golf Steve Hiller approached the Lincoln Parks Foundation to request assistance in funding the purchase of AEDs. "The safety of the patrons at our City facilities is our number one concern," said Hiller.
The Foundation Board of Directors pledged $5,000 and offered to assist in seeking additional funding partners. Clancy Woolman, past President of the Foundation, contacted the Lincoln Men's Golf Association, the Women's Golf Association, the Senior Golf Association, golf professionals at each of the municipal courses, the AED Consortium and the Lincoln Tennis Association to seek their financial participation. Woolman thanked each of the partners for their participation and commitment to the safety of Lincoln's citizens.
The six AED units will be purchased at a cost of about $10,000. The units will be placed in the clubhouses of the five City golf courses (Highlands, Holmes, Pioneers, Mahoney and Jim Ager) and the Woods Park Tennis Center. The Lincoln Fire Department has agreed to provide regular training sessions regarding use of the AEDs.

Pulsations (07.13.12)
Here are the latest Pulsations, links to fresh stories and visuals about Japan, shout-outs to fellow bloggers, and highly clickable stuff that we think you might enjoy.
In no particular order, they are . . .
- Paying for it (from This Japanese Life): Part 3 of the series, "On Pretending to Know about Education in Japan," this post outlines the costs of different forms of schooling and the burdens that education places on families living below the recently acknowledged poverty line. The author argues that the current Japanese system is outdated and causing societal stagnation. Along with parts 1 and 2, it's an interesting read for anyone who's curious about Japanese education.
- Nakae Architects: Tracing True South (from Design Boom): We've all seen pictures and plans of fascinating eco-friendly buildings. In many cases, though, especially when they're seen surrounded by conventional structures, the design sticks out like a green thumb. "Facing True South," a project by Nakae Architects of Tokyo, addresses this issue. Located in Kamaishi, Iwate Pref., the house utilizes passive solar design while maintaining respect for the town's traditional look.
- Painting Fujiyama (from One Hundred Mountains ): Did you know there was once a U.S. military proposal to desecrate Mount Fuji by having B-52 bombers cover it in gallons of red paint? Perhaps you've made the trek to the summit, but did you know there is a less-travelled Maruyama Trail, which dates back to the 16th century. Learn about these factoids and more in this writeup of Harry Byron Earhart's book "Mount Fuji: Icon of Japan" … or just buy the book.
Visual pulse: Jed Henry's recent playful reimagining of videogame characters as they might have been portrayed in the Edo Period is given another spin, this time by veteran woodblock printmaker David Bull, who is actually rendering Henry's illustrations in ukiyo-e. In this video, Bull gives a detailed explanation of "proofing" — the test image done before an entire edition.

How to Make Grilled Mackerel in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade
wikiHow is a "wiki," similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors. To create this article, volunteer authors worked to edit and improve it over time. Learn more...
Harvest Moon does not have ordinary grills, although, one can "grill" food over a bonfire. This is a nice approach to cooking food instead of using a regular oven. Grilled mackerel gives +110 stamina.
1Acquire matches. If you don't have it, you can go to the General Store and pay 480 G for it.
2Get a mackerel. You can get it by fishing at the following places during Spring, Autumn, and Winter:
- The beach, boat dock, seawall, and lighthouse in Harmonica Town
- The southwest shore of Clarinet District
- Floor 0 of the Water Cave
3Have the mackerel in your rucksack. Ensure that your rucksack is not full, or else you cannot grill the fish.
4Start a bonfire. Use your matches on a wood stack. Press the "A" button.
5Choose the mackerel that you need for the recipe. Press the "A" button again and "Start" to make the dish.

- You can sell grilled mackerel for 95 G profit.
- Always extinguish all bonfires with your watering can after use. If you don't put the fire out, it will not only make other villagers angry the next morning, but you can lose hearts in the process as well.

The New Deal programs, usually known by their initials, were called "alphabet soup" agencies. The large number of similar titles amused and confused Americans in the 1930s and have challenged history students ever since. There were at least four agencies (FERA,CWA,CCC,WPA) operating similar programs to give relief the unemployed. There were two AAAs (Agricultural Adjustment Administrations) and two CCCs (Civilian Conservation Corps, Commodity Credit Corporation). The WPA and PWA administered similar public employment programs. This editorial in the Greenfield Daily Recorder-Gazette injects humor into the confusion by suggesting that "alphabet soup" is an old tradition.

The Yama Arashi UK are affiliated to the Brussels Yama Arashi. Tony Thielemans 6th Dan Aikido and 4th Dan Judo is the founder of the Belgium Ecole d`art Matiaux Japonais Yama Arashi, established in 1959. Tom Moss 6th Dan, Principal Coach of the Yama Arashi UK until his passing in May 2003, started Aikido in March 1965 and joined the Brussels Yama Arashi in 1966. Thielemans sensei originally studied Judo and competed in many Competitions before starting Aikido. It is due to his Judo background that he chose the Yama Arashi name. The name Yama Arashi means mountain throw and is an old Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu technique and was famously used by Shiro Saigo who was a judo player studying with Jigoro Kano sensei.

Aritomo Murashige was a 1st generation student (1921 - 1935) of Morihei Ueshiba. Murashige practised with the founder from 1931 to 1953. Murashige sensei moved to Belgium and taught there until his death in an accident at the age of 63. Aritomo Murashige, Nobuyoshi Tamura and Andre Nocquet have influenced Tony Thielemans Aikido style. The style practiced within the Yama Arashi UK is based in traditional Aikido from the teachings of Thielemans sensei, but progressively seeks to refine techniques in line with the wish of O-Sensei that aikido must still evolve. Since the tragic loss of the YAUK Principal Tom Moss sensei in 2003 the current Principal is Barbara Moss sensei. The club is therefore assured that the integrity, teaching and techniques will proceed along the outlines that were firmly in place.

Announcing The Mark Weber Report
March 18, 2011
The Voice of Reason Broadcast Network is pleased to announce a new program, The Mark Weber Report, which will bring you analysis and commentary by Mark Weber of current affairs and historical issues. The show will run weekly Wednesday 10 to 11 PM, Eastern U.S. time, starting March 23, 2011.
About Mark Weber
Mark Weber, historian and author, is director of the Institute for Historical Review, an independent "think tank" and publishing-educational enterprise based in southern California.
He is the author of many articles, reviews, and essays dealing with historical, political, and social issues, which have appeared in a variety of periodicals, and in a range of languages.
Weber has been a guest on numerous radio talk shows, and has appeared many times on television, including on the nationally broadcast "Hannity and Colmes" and "Montel Williams" shows. He has conducted countless interviews with television, radio and print journalists from across the United States, and from Britain, Germany, Sweden, Lebanon, Iran, South Africa, and other countries.
He was born in Portland, Oregon, where he was also raised. He studied history at the University of Illinois (Chicago), the University of Munich (Germany), and Portland State University, from where he received a bachelor's degree in history (with high honors). He then did graduate work in history at Indiana University (Bloomington), where he served as a history instructor and received a Master's degree in European history.
In 1988 he testified for five days in Toronto District Court as a recognized expert witness on Germany's wartime Jewish policy and the Holocaust issue.
During the five years he lived in Washington, DC, he carried out extensive historical research at the National Archives and the Library of Congress.
He lived and worked for two and one-half years in Germany (Bonn and Munich), and for a time in Ghana (West Africa), where he taught English, history, and geography at an all-Black secondary school.
He has been Director of the IHR since 1995. For nine years he was editor of the IHR's Journal of Historical Review.

SALEM— Nearly a year after beginning a push to convince Oregon lawmakers to stem the growing costs of public-employee pensions, Gov. John Kitzhaber got his wish.
And now, he says, it's time to move on. After lawmakers backed the pension cuts Wednesday — along with a series of other measures intended to boost support in the Legislature — Kitzhaber said further changes to the Public Employees Retirement System are "off the table for this governor."
"We are done," Kitzhaber told reporters. "We're going to move on to other things that are important to Oregonians, put this behind us."
Lawmakers approved the pension cuts as part of a five-bill package Wednesday, then adjourned a special session that consumed three tense days. On top of the pension measures, the agreement included changes to the tax code and a prohibition against local governments regulating genetically modified crops.
Kitzhaber, business leaders, education advocates and other supporters say the rising cost of pensions is contributing to large class sizes and shortened school years and making it difficult for local governments to reinvest in services that were cut during the Great Recession.
Retired government workers will see their pensions grow at a slower pace.
Beneficiaries in the Public Employee Retirement System and unions that represent government workers have vowed to challenge the cuts in court. Many of the lawmakers who voted for the PERS cuts said they didn't want to take benefits from workers, but the system's massive unfunded liabilities require action.
Together with cuts adopted earlier this year, the changes approved Wednesday would erase about a quarter of the system's unfunded liabilities, which were created when investment losses erased 27 percent of the PERS fund in 2008.
Kitzhaber first proposed pension cuts in his budget released in December. Several attempts to marry them with a tax increase fell apart during the regular legislative session, which wrapped up in July.
The agreement just approved was negotiated last month by Kitzhaber and the top Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate. Democrats agreed to throw in the genetically modified foods bill when they were unable to meet Republican demands for steeper pension cuts or more generous tax cuts for small businesses.
Fearing a growing effort by environmental groups to seek local regulations on genetically modified foods, the agriculture industry has pushed for a statewide pre-emption. Farmers say it would be difficult and expensive to comply with a patchwork of local rules, but environmentalists and organic-food proponents say the state and federal governments have failed to adopt meaningful regulations.
Critics took issue with all parts of the package. Some said it's unfair and potentially illegal to take retirement benefits promised to public employees. Others objected to tax breaks for businesses or to the inclusion of an agriculture measure in a package that initially was targeted at budget matters.
"Trading away environmental protections in unrelated legislative negotiations is an all too common practice that's bad for not just democracy but also the people of Oregon," six environmental groups wrote in a statement following the votes.
Some higher-income individuals and businesses will see a higher tax bill. Individuals earning at least $100,000 — couples more than $200,000 — won't be able to claim the $183 personal tax exemption. Use of a tax deduction for seniors' medical expenses has been restricted based on age and income, but more people will qualify because taxpayers who don't itemize their deductions will be able to claim it.
Taxes on tobacco products would go up as well.
Businesses — known as pass-through entities because their profits are taxed on the owners' individual tax return — would pay a lower rate under certain circumstances. The Earned Income Tax Credit, which benefits low-income workers, would be expanded.
The deal nearly fell apart on Sunday night, but legislative leaders patched it back together on Monday morning as rank-and-file lawmakers reported for the special session. They spent much of the week trying to hammer out details and line up votes.
Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, said he was prepared to adjourn the Senate when it appeared a key piece of the package was headed for defeat in the House. Eventually, three Democrats changed their votes to keep the measures alive.
"I'm glad I don't have a weak heart," Courtney said. "It was very hairy, very scary and very nerve-wracking, and in some ways we're very very lucky that we did it."

1. CA-ICT is a foundation (Stichting in Dutch) that helps ICT companies in The Netherlands to collect governmental (European Union) subventions for educating their employees. Collecting these subventions is usually a lot of paperwork, especially for companies who are not used to do this.
2. All the money that comes in (fee) is invested in promising ICT projects in order to support entrepreneurship and employment in the ICT sector of The Netherlands.
The complete text inside the logo would ideally be 'Stichting CA-ICT' of which the CA-ICT part is most important so perhaps you'd keep Stichting small or at least less emphasized.
Feel free to let go of the '-' between CA and ICT as long as it is clear that it are two separate words (perhaps use different colors or other solutions).
We'd really like to keep this logo simple and robust. Therefore we'd like you to use as few designy details as possible (abstract marks are okay, unless they really add something that matches the design criteria). Feel free to play around with all kinds of fonts so we get a broad vision of the possibilities.

Makeover Magic for Unemployed Women
The other day I heard about this uplifting story of a salon owner changing lives of unemployed women. Not only is it a great story about giving back, it has given these women who were loosing hope in the job market, new hope and motivation.
The salon owner who I mentioned is Marc Voci, owner of Marc Voci Salon and creator of the Style Me Hired Makeover Show. Last year Style Me Hired went to Philadelphia and had their first ever makeover/employment event at the Omni Hotel. That day 100 women received a free makeover. Ever since then, Voci and his salon have been giving away free makeovers to women in need. Voci's vision is to giveaway over 200 makeovers this year, and to bring happiness to those who are unemployed by changing one life one makeover at a time.
"I created Style Me Hired because I see what makeovers do for women, especially for women who can't afford one," says Voci. "Makeovers are like magic. I've been doing these makeovers for over 25 years, I've seen the impact it can have on women who are down on their luck."
Below are stories from some of the women who received free makeovers from the Style Me Hired Makeover show. See Betsy's AMAZING transformation in the video below.
"I had been laid off of my job and for the first time in 30 years I wasn't working which was scary enough, but then I found out that I had breast cancer and had to get treated for that before I could even look for a new job.
I read an article in the Daily Times about the Style Me Hired Makeover Show and decided to apply for a makeover. When I heard I won the makeover I couldn't believe it, but I was so grateful. They gave me an image consultation, cut and colored my hair, make-up and sent me to Career Wardrobe for a new professional outfit. It was such an uplifting experience! I felt like a new person! I felt like I could accomplish anything!
Today my cancer is gone! I started working shortly after my makeover. I like having a secure job and I also enjoy the people I work with. I just want to thank Marc for the opportunity to be a part of the Style Me Hired Makeover Show and for making me feel so special."
"This is the first time I have been unemployed in my life. It's been five months, I am finding it very difficult to find a job. I am a single mom with a five year old son to take care of. I heard about the Style Me Hired Makeover Show and applied online. I won and got a free makeover, hair cut, color and make-up.
It was an amazing experience.
Since we were on LIVE tv someone saw me after my makeover and called Marc's salon and I got a part time job from the Style Me Hired Makeover Show. This Makeover gave me such a boost in my confidence I got another part-time job and today I have a full-time job. Thank you Style Me Hired for changing my life!"
"I have recently lost my job (of nine months) with ConocoPhillips when they closed their Trainer Refinery. Before that I was unemployed for 14 months after I was laid off from Sunoco Eagle Point when they shut down in December of 2009. It looks like it will be difficult to be employed again as an oil refinery worker. It will also be difficult because I have not yet recovered financially from the 14 months of unemployment. I am a Veteran of the Air National Guard with 4 years active duty and 10 years total Service.
My current situation probably means another career change for me at 55 years old. I have not been able to afford to visit a salon recently although my roots are in need of attention. For that reason I would love to be considered for your monthly makeover."

(Reuters) - New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick called it a key play in Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Broncos in Denver and said receiver Wes Welker's injury-causing hit on cornerback Aqib Talib was one of the "worst he's ever seen".
Belichick believed the block by former Patriots receiver Welker that sidelined his top cornerback for the rest of the game with a knee injury was an illegal pick play that should bring discipline from league officials.
"I went back and watched it, which I didn't have a chance to do yesterday. It is a deliberate play by the receiver to take out Aqib," Belichick told reporters on Monday.
"No attempt to get open. And I'll let the league handle the discipline on that play. It's not for me to decide, but it's one of the worst plays I've seen and that's all I'm going to say about that."
After the game, Belichick labeled the second-quarter collision over the middle as a key play in the AFC title game, as Denver quarterback Peyton Manning picked on Alfonzo Dennard, Talib's replacement on receiver Demaryius Thomas.
Manning connected with Thomas six times for 105 yards and a touchdown following Talib's departure after catching one ball when Talib was shadowing him.
"It was very tough (after we lost him)," said Dennard. "Everyone knows Aqib Talib. He's a very good lock-down cornerback. It really hard to be the next man up and take on the job he did. But they had a lot of weapons, and they executed very well."
The victory put Denver into the Super Bowl against the Seattle Seahawks on February 2 in New Jersey.

WBU honors Wall with Legacy Leadership Award
PLAINVIEW – If Dr. James H. Wayland were alive today, the founder of Wayland Baptist University would have many friends. Among those, believes Director of Student Leadership and Involvement Hope English, would surely be community volunteer Phyllis Wall.
English presented the Legacy Leadership Award to Wall at Friday's second annual High Plains Leadership Summit, held at Wayland and encouraging students to "Lead with a Servant's Heart."
According to English, Wall epitomizes that phrase.
"This year's recipient is a long-time friend of this university, she models Christian values in her everyday walk, and she can be held up to Wayland students as a role model for ethical leadership and service to others," English said in her presentation. "But I can also tell you that she will be embarrassed by all of this because she, like Dr. Wayland, is a most humble leader. She is more comfortable with someone else being front and center stage, she prefers to be working hard, behind the scenes, doing whatever it takes to get the job done."
English compared Wall and the late pioneer physician in several ways, noting they both are known for being able to get things accomplished, especially when others have only talked about a project. She said Dr. Wayland "knew how to put wings to dreams."
"He was a mover and a shaker long before we began using such a term," English said. "Today, this community and our university have our very own mover and shaker, a hard-working servant leader who knows how to put wings to dreams and her name is Phyllis Wall."
English did not go into a full-blown list of Wall's involvement, preferring to focus not on her specific work in the community but the heart and attitude behind it all. She spoke of Wall's servant leadership and how she not only rallies others to serve but also gets right in the middle of a project herself.
"Just like Dr. Wayland, she and her family have given of their financial resources, but more than that, she has given her time, energy, gifts, talents, passions, and dreams for this university, and she has done it all to glorify Christ and His Kingdom, because that my young friends is what a servant's heart is all about," English said.
Wall and her husband Clint are long-time Wayland supporters, cheering on the basketball and baseball teams, giving to worthy causes and donating resources to make the Leadership Summit possible.

I read Born to Run around December of last year. Much like The Omnivore's Dilemma and Pushed, Born to Run passed my sniff test of what human's are meant to do naturally. We're constantly trying to fix food by reducing whatever thing we think is bad at the moment and adding in whatever is good today. We try to "fix" childbirth when it was never broken in the first place. And we try to improve running by putting people into an unnatural position that actually weakens the bodies natural ability. It just makes sense to me.
Born to Run talks about the positive change in people's running ability and attitude toward running as they made the transition to barefoot running. I regarded much of this as the typical fanfare that is included in any book about a topic. However, I completed my first real barefoot-style run last week. It was the culmination of about three months of "preparation" and was noticeably easier then the same run a month prior in a more traditional running style. It wasn't until half way through the run that I consciously thought, "Wow, this is easier. Could it be because of the barefoot-style?"
I made a New Year's commitment to run to work once per month as motivation to progress toward barefoot running. I don't run much, but this was something I wanted to try. I started researching and watching videos about barefoot running (I like this one: http://vimeo.com/12551218); there's enough instructional information on the topic around the Internet to keep you busy for a weekend. I began running very short distances on the treadmill in slippers. I ordered a pair of Vivobarefoot Dharma shoes and wore them to work every day (my work commute involves a one mile walk each way to a train station) to strengthen my feet. It was important to not heel strike even when walking in these shoes. This strengthened my calves and the top and bottom of my feet. I then ordered a pair of Vivobarefoot Evo shoes and did short runs on the treadmill and around the neighborhood. Never too much; building up gradually.
This all happened over the course of three months. My first run to work was in traditional running shoes. I incorporated some barefoot-style where I could in the run but not much, and it was much more difficult in the traditional shoes. My second run was again in traditional shoes. Same thing. I just wasn't confident enough yet in the strength of my feet to withstand the long run barefoot-style. My last run in March was in the Evos. I finally felt comfortable enough to do the whole run barefoot-style. And I must say it was phenomenal. The whole run was easier, and I completed the run with my best time. I rode a high all day. It was really really good. I'm one step closer to being a believer.
For me, all of the research I did on barefoot running boiled down to a few principles that worked well for me and allowed my body to naturally pick up the style (or at least I think so; I haven't had anyone verify that I'm doing it correctly). Those principles are:
- Don't heel strike. I let my body do what naturally occurred when I just focused on not heel striking.
- Straighten up. Don't lean forward.
- Lift your feet up. Focus on lifting your feet off of the ground and not on pushing off of the ground. This along with straightening up naturally made my gait speed up.
And I guess a fourth one would be:
- Go slow. Don't rush your body. Your feet are likely not used to the stress you'll be putting on them.
That's it.

Pernil (Puerto Rican Roast Pork with Garlic)
Pernil (Puerto Rican Roast Pork with Garlic)
1 head garlic, peeled
2 teaspoons oregano (fresh or dried)
2 teaspoons whole peppercorns
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 lb boneless pork loin
WARNING: This part needs to be done the day before you plan on serving the roast. In a food processor, blender or using a mortar and pestle, combine the garlic, oregano, peppercorns and olive oil to form a thick paste. If the mixture looks dry, add more oil, one tablespoon at a time. Place the pork loin in a glass roasting pan. Using the point of a sharp knife, stab the pork on all sides to a depth of about one inch. Rub the pork with the garlic paste. Cover and refrigerate over night.
Preheat oven to 450. Make sure the roast is fat side up. Bake 30 minutes then reduce temperature to 350. Periodically baste the meat with its own juices. Cook for another 45-60 minutes or until the internal temperature is 150. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
My thoughts: When I saw a version of this recipe in my local paper, I had to try it. My husband and I were in San Juan on our honeymoon and I thought it would be fun have a Puerto Rico themed dinner. Traditionally, Pernil is made using a bone-in pork shoulder. Using the boneless pork loin shortens the cooking time and is easier to slice for serving. Even though prepping the meat the night before is kind of a pain (I hate waiting to eat anything!) the flavor is much better than it would be if you just rubbed it on before roasting.

Also happened to note... Thomas was not in goal and Boston outshot Canes by a wide margin.. Ward stood on his head to get the win..Strangelove wrote:I wouldn't knock the methods of the Stanley Cup champs much.Topper wrote:Go tough.
They felt it was time to send a message, who are we to argue?
Checking the stats for last year.. Bruins were tough but including the regular season took less penalties than the Canucks..
Nope time for the Sedins to get tougher .. they had the worst +/- in the playoffs of any forwards .. not tough enough on the back check either..
2 points in regular season is not equal to 1 Stanley.. sorry girls

Lumia 920
Lumia 920
On Sept. 5, Nokia introduced the Lumia 920, which comes in yellow, red, gray, white and black. Nokia's flagship Windows Phone 8 smartphone, the Lumia 920, features a 4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ WXGA LCD display, advanced camera technologies, a City Lens app that complements Nokia's suite of mapping software and up to 10 hours of talk time.
Lumia 820
The Lumia 820, which features a 4.3-inch ClearBlack OLED WVGA display, will come in red, yellow, gray, cyan, purple, white and black.
Fatboy Recharge Pillow
The Lumia 920 can support wireless charging, while the 820 can be fitted with a different backing—sold separately—that can enable it to charge wirelessly. Nokia has teamed with Fatboy, which will sell wireless accessories such as this colorful Recharge Pillow.
Like the Nokia phones, the Fatboy Recharge Pillows will bring a pop of color to a room.
Wireless-Charging Plates
Nokia also signed agreements with the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and Virgin Atlantic. Coffee Bean will put the charging plates on the tables in some of its cafes, and Virgin will put them in its Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at London's Heathrow airport later this year. The plates, too, come in the Lumia colors.
Nokia Luna
Nokia Luna Bluetooth headsets with wireless charging also vibrate with color.
JBL PowerUp
Nokia also has an agreement with JBL, which has made a stereo speaker that can wirelessly play music from the new Lumias; on Sept. 4, Nokia brought its free streaming-music service to the United States. The phones can also wirelessly charge when placed on top of the retro-styled PowerUp, which comes in cyan, black and white.
Purity Pro Stereo Headset
Monster will also offer a line of Purity Pro Stereo Headsets for the new Lumias in popping shades of red and yellow, or more subdued black and white.Â
New JBL PlayUp portable wireless speakers for Nokia are loud even before the music is turned on.
Nokia Communicator
Nokia has been accused of initially failing to capitalize on the smartphone trend. Long before Apple introduced the iPhone, Nokia impressed consumers with devices like the enterprise-friendly Communicator.
HTC Windows Phone 8X, 8S
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop called Microsoft the "lead mobile partner for Microsoft" during his company's July 19 second-quarter earnings call. On Sept. 19, HTC and Microsoft introduced the Windows Phone 8X and 8S, which will come in very Lumia-like (Microsoft-like?) shades of yellow, red, blue and black. HTC and Microsoft said that they'll promote them as "signature Windows Phones."
Trouble for Nokia?
The Windows Phone 8X and 8S put an emphasis on their advanced camera features, audio enhancements that come via HTC's relationship with Beats Audio and their very thin and light physiques. Both phones are slimmer and lighter than the new Lumias.
 Apple, meanwhile, has introduced the phone that will take it through the next few seasons, the iPhone 5. It comes in two choices—white and silver or black and slate—and is thinner and lighter than the upcoming phones from Nokia and HTC. The HTC 8S, however, is within a fraction of the iPhone 5's weight, and it can be said that both phones weigh 3.9 ounces. Microsoft has said that both new HTCs are "around 10mm" thin, while the iPhone 5 is 7.6mm thin.
Microsoft Surface
Microsoft also didn't shy away from color with its upcoming Surface tablet, suggesting the strong hand it's having with its partners and that the larger brand strategy at work is Microsoft's. One imagines a branding team pitching: See a pop of color on the street? It's probably a Windows Phone.

SISKIYOU COUNTY – The Shingletown, Calif. man who has been at large since May – when authorities believe he murdered his wife and two daughters – has recently been spotted in Siskiyou County, said sheriff's office spokesperson Allison Giannini.
Shane Franklin Miller, 45, is being sought by U.S. Marshals for the alleged fatal shooting of his wife, Sandy, 34; and daughters, Shelby, 8, and Shasta, 5.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Miller is white with blue eyes and has blond or strawberry blond hair, 5-foot-11-inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. He has a scar on his right hand and on his right leg.
Examiner.com reported that Miller is believed to have killed his family in Shingletown before fleeing in his pickup truck. The guns used in the murders have not been recovered. He grew up in Humboldt County, where authorities have long believed he is hiding.
Miller should be considered armed and dangerous, and if he is spotted, one should immediately call 9-1-1 and Deputy U.S. Marshal McMullen at (916) 417-0238 or (916) 930-2030.
